Disboutiquers Part 15 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[jham]

Ok - here is the ladybug patchwork as a simply sweet with a twirlly skirt - really twirly skirt. Should I put the ribbon and flower on ( i think I will make flower removable though for easier washing)? I was thinking of the ribbon by itself and maybe I could make something that could be pinned on in the same place as the flower that is more Disney. Anyway - the basic dress is done. Whew! Darn that ruffle was LLOONNGG!

without flower

So what do you think?

I love every version so I would make it so the sash and flower are detachable.

On the last disboutiquers thread (14) I think it was on the 2nd page someone had done like a ton of t-shirts for boys w/ the characters in all diff designs (likes indiana jones mickey, safari mickey and donald, pirate mickey and donald...etc). If that was you...could you email me...I have tons of questions (usachick4@yahoo.com)

My husband found all my pillowcases at K-Mart about 3-4 months ago. He bought the last of each of them and I've not been in there since. Hopefully they just needed to restock and they still sell them! I hate to think that they no longer provide just the pillowcases!

Thanks, i will look there again. I was looking for pooh and Belle and probably tinkerbell. I'm not sure what others I will need. I was just so surprised that they weren't selling any at Target or Walmart!!!! It makes me nervous that they are doing away with just selling pillowcases.

Thanks. I'm hoping to get the cutting out done before she actually goes away (after she goes to bed) but if she sees the sewing machine out she'll know something is up!!!

Now the real trick is taking updated measurements when she's sleeping!!! She had another growth spurt and I haven't sewed her a thing since the spring. So I need new measurements

Tell her you are going to start a chart to see how much she grows in a year. Make a table on Microsoft Word and list height, weight, shoe size, and the measurements you need. Then put today's date, 3 months from now, 6 months, 9 months and a year. Find a place on her wall (or the back of her closet door) to keep it. If it is in her room, she will think it is for her-not you!

Yeah, I know, I'm sneaky!

Sorry nothing is modeled but you get the idea.

These are customs for a 12 year old. I felt I need to be careful about how whimsical I made them.

I do not love the shorts but I am not a fan of deco denim in the first place. She will coordinate with the little girls and I think she will like them.

Here are The Muppets. I am really happy with how these turned out.

Here you can see I have not hung up my curtains!

Pettiskirt Question.
I know it's been discussed to death, but what type do you recommend for under dresses, etc. I want a white one that is not to full but not to itchy. Where do you all get yours from? I checked chasing fireflies catalog but 80 dollars is a bit much.

Pm Teresajoy and she can give you some great suggestions!

Oh I am right there with you !!! I think we have like 63 days until our trip, and nothing completed. I bought a lot of fabric last week at our walmart for 50% off, now I just need to get started. Plus I wanted to get some shirts appliqued (by way of purchasing them)but that might not happen. So right now I am working on a simply sweet Tweety just so that I could try the pattern, and I am thinking of the new corset looking top on ycmt with zebra and polka dots and a patchwork twirl for an AK dress. I got some adorable pink eeyore that I will do something for our crystal palace dinner. Also got a red bandana looking print for something for Hoop Dee Doo. Now just to think of something for Epcot and DHS.

Where are you staying. This will be our first stay at POFQ but I am still bumming that we aren't staying at AKL, we have stayed there for our past four trips, but this trip was a budget trip. I have to stop myself everyday from calling and seeing if AKL has availability. What ADR's did you make?

We are staying at POFQ too. I stayed at AKL last year and it was really nice, but we really like POFQ and it is cheaper! We are doing 1900 Park fare for breakfast one day and dinner another. Also, CP, CM (2X), H&V, and beach club. All of those are for breakfast or late breakfast/early lunch.

I have that eyeore material from Wallyworld and am making me a top with it. It was too cute to pass up. I wish my wallyworld fabric was 50% off. They have some cute Tink material I have to have!

wow... 68 days.... you can do it!!!!!! just sit down and make sure no one bothers you and sew sew sew....

I am more concerned with my ability to actually just sew and not worry about other stuff!

I did a precious dress alice, and was really pleased with it, except for the fact that I wish i had made the skirt fuller. I will probably redo the dress closer to our trip to make a fuller skirt. I looked at park pics and tried to match it as closely as possible. I wish I had rounded the neck on the apron. I was nervous about drafting something like that, so I just did a square with straps that went over the shoulders. Here is a pic:

this is close to what I was thinking. I am going to buy the precious pattern right now, alond with maybe another one....hope dh doesn't look at the credit card statement anytime soon!

They are all fabulous! My favorite is the Marie one. I love the bottoms!

I am LOVING the FLOWER!!

I finished a few more projects! First I made a memory board with left-over Jennifer P. fabrics! You can put cards or pictures or whatever in the ribbon...

Love the message board...I really need to make one of those for Katie...I have extra fabric from her curtains...hmmm...

The dress is so pretty...great job!!!!

without flower
So what do you think?

So pretty!! I think with the flower and with it removable it is perfect for easy care and wear! Such nice work!

I just wanted to introduce myself. I found disboards while researching for our upcoming DW trip in September and then found the disboutiquers threads. I am so inspired by all of your beautiful creations.

I taught myself to sew about six years ago when DD was born. I used some of the Children's Corner patterns to make her some cute outfits, but haven't made much since DS came along three years ago.

I also have to thank you all for the recommendation on the YCMT website and Carla C's patterns. I've recently made a couple of tiered skirts with matching outfits for DD's doll and made the stripwork jumper for her doll. I'm currently working on a stripwork jumper for DD. I am so surprised by how professional it's looking; Carla C's pictures make things so much easier!

Thanks for the inspiration!

Welcome to the addiction that is this group! It will take over your life now! Watch out!!!!

What? Where are you getting fabric at Wal-mart? Mine is gone...and it went so quick I didn't really get anything! I drive to Albermarle to get some stuff or I have to go to Kannapolis...Either way it's 30 mins and not much else to do there!

Are you still at the Disney store...we are heading down that way this weekend...thought I'd stop by and say "Hi" ...actually...I think I would like to come see the lodge too! I can't convince DH we need to go stay there for the night to go play... I think the kids would love it!

I love this!!! WE love some Miss Piggy around here!

 

[poohnpigletCA]

AHHHH!!!

I was just putting our countdown calendar up on the fridge and realized that I only have 68 days left till disney and I haven't even started making outfits! OMG! What to do??????

I am thinking of reusing some from last year as Sara BEth hasn't grown much, but she definitely needs some new ones. Has anyone done Alice dress using the new Precious dress from CarlaC? We are having breakfast with Alice and thought that would be a good easy dress to try.

Also, I need some ideas for tinkerbelle dress and an outfit for AK. This is the first year I have waited so long!!!!

I am right there with you. I have about 55 days and nothing is sewn. We are going for 9 days so that is what 20 outfits.

The thing of it is my girls Aunt does all of the sewing. Her daughter just got married 2 days ago, and yes she sewed all of the dresses for the wedding. I think if I started talking sewing with her right now she would throw something at my head.

I have made al of my ADR's ad I think I will plan outfits around that. I need to plan all of the outfits ad buy all of the fabric so that when Darla is ready to sew again I will have everything for her.

I am off to look through photobucket for ideas.

Our Walmart in Concord on 29 still carries a very large selection of fabric. I really want to buy some, but without a coupon I hate paying over $4 a yard...I know I am a cheapskate! I want to go down to Mary Jo's but that will cost me too much to leave!

Not at Disney anymore. Just at the lodge. I tried to quit and they convinced me to stay. Now I have to stay, at least through August, because we got dental insurance and are going in August to dentist! I will be at the ldoge Sat and sun till 3. I am in the swimwear shop by the pool. They don't always let non-quests into the store, even though they are supposed to. Just tell the lifequards you want to see me! If you want to stay there, let me know. i can try to get you a family and friends discount. Pm me if yo want more info!

 

[TinaLala]

For those of you with TWEENS!

What do you make for them? I'm making a striped skirt for DD10 and I've made some baby doll shirts, but I just don't know what else to make for her that would be stylish?

Any suggestions??

I have a question for those who digitize for applique. I think I'm about ready to make the step to buy PED Basic and get an Embird trial. I really want to try digitizing some small applique designs (I have a specific idea that would actually work well with a 4" x 4" design limitation). One thing I've noticed is that most of the applique designs I've seen have a very even width satin stitch around the pieces. I think that looks really nice for many designs but I was wondering if it's possible to have that line vary in width. For example when I do hand guided applique, I have the stitch width taper to a point when I add detail lines such as for 'folds' in clothes.

Thanks!

Going to Mary Jo's is a part of what I plan to do as soon as school starts back...all three will be in school so I will need something to keep me busy! Well that and a trip to IKEA...which I still have not been to...how sad is my life? I am also super cheap...that is why I have not been!

Ahh look at you tempting me withe discount offerings...EVIL I tell you!

 

[mommyof2princesses]

Well, I did it! Just bought the precious dress and bucket hat. Now, I need to finish the dress I started in the spring for Sara Beth so I can start on her Disney outfits! I really wanted the Emma Swing top...just not sure about it yet!

I love EVERYTHING! I've been trying to find a good Nemo picture to applique for Violette's Nemo outfit. Where did you get your image from?

You are going to LOVE the precious dress...so simple but so nice when finished...Katie has said it is her favorite dress so far!

I don't digitize, but I use machine applique, and yes that is possible, I have used several designs that have a tapering effect to the satin stitch.
