Disboutiquers Part 16 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[Jennygt]

I am not sure if this is the right place but I am interested in a pillowcase for my son for our sept trip. I have never sewed but I will try and my sil is very good at it and will help me, I went to Joannes but did not see any disney fabric that was not flannel. Does anyone know of an iron on that I could use on a standard pillowcase? Thanks for any advice.

Have you been to the Aquarium before???

once a very long time ago! I see you are from there! got any pointers??

 

[lovesdumbo]

I can finally post some progress on my next sewing project!

(It's for Lizzie, so she picked the fabrics)

WOW! I love that!!!! LOVE the fabrics! The applique looks perfect! Did you find the movie near you? I want one for me! Can I case you?

Today I completed my very first Vida. I'm glad it's my first because it leaves MUCH room for improvement. It would be awful if this were my 10th Vida and it looked like this

Not only was it my first Vida, it was my first applique as well. It looks like this:

Even though the girls in my life love Piglet and Pooh, I love Eeyore.

And the Vida (drum roll, please.....)

Now I wonder if I can find an 8-year old who wants to wear it to Crystal Palace?

And now I must try and sleep. Again.

So cute! Love Eeyore!

 

[Mom2SamandJames]

I have a question. I have been wanting to post pictures of some of my creations for my boys, not that they compare to the things you ladies are doing for your girls, but I can't post attachments. How can I send my photos in my message like you all are doing? Please pardon my stupidity! Thanks!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY T !!!!!!

 

[Stephres]

Very cute! I can tell she is a girl after my own heart, with her bright cheery colors. She would get along very well in our house!

This is my favorite pic! I have the disney petti too and we love it. Why are they so fascinated with mud over there at the festival?

Great job on the applique. I had to ask Megan what this movie is about and she ensures me that we need to see it. And Shorts!

I know a seven year old who would wear it to Crystal Palace! Great job on the applique and the vida, I love Eeyore too!

Ladies, I think you have all created a monster in me! LOL.....we are taking our kids to the Boston Aquarium this weekend and I looked at the website today and saw that Sponge Bob will be there doing meet and greets. My daughter loves Sponge bob. so what do you think I do? I ran to walmart during my lunch break, picked up some sponge bob fabric, went home threw it in the wash & went back to work. my husband put it in the dryer while I was at work. came home and busted out a custom sponge bob 3 teir twirl skirt for our trip!! my co workers think I'm NUTS! But I'm so pleased with myself. I haven't finished the waist so when I do, I'll post a pic. just thought you'd get a kick out of the story! oh and BIG THANKS to Teresajoy who totally rocked w/ the tension technique for ruffling. it worked and made the skirt 100 times easier to make!!

Welcome to the club!! Although I will miss my girls when school starts, I am already dreaming of the outfits I plan to sew!!!

Here is the photo pictorial of my sewing machine adventure. Sorry if they are big. Penny the shop owner

All the sewing machines

We did our first mickey on a red knit polo. It didn't come out so good but I will get better as I learn how to hoop the fabric.

Enjoy your new "baby"! I love the pic of all the machines together!!! And I hope your mom finds her dog soon!

OK you asked for it.
I made this top and jacket for the spring concert. She already had the leggings.

Cute!! Love the watermelon print!!

Awww, prayers to those who need them and I hope mom finds her dog ok. I know how scary that can be.

I lost my multi-quote too. I think I am just tired from working/running errands/sewing/etc.

DH finished some photos so I thought I would post them before I forgot. We went to the Bristol Renaissance Fair the other weekend. DH and I used to go a lot when we were dating. It's bigger now and much more expen$ive. Chloe wore her Disney pink petti and I made her the reversible corset top. I love this top because:

1. It was easy and quick.
2. It looked really cute with or without a shirt under it (it was raining when we first got there).
3. Most important - Chloe loved it and asked me to make more of them.

We had a lot of fun! And I drooled over a lot of the fabrics I saw. LOL

I did resize the pics - hopefully it will adjust.

Love the outfit and it sounds like a fun time!!!

I can finally post some progress on my next sewing project!

(It's for Lizzie, so she picked the fabrics)

Love the colors! Was the movie good? We haven't seen any of them yet.

So what do the ladies and Tom think of this schedule for our trip (keeping in mind the opportunities for cute customs, of course! Though I'm not sure if some of these will be year round, and we might have to change up some days for the Very Merry party and things...

Sat: Travel day
Dinner: Spirit of Aloha OR Ohana dinner

Sun: DHS
Breakfast: Hollywood and Vine (Playhouse Disney)
Lunch: Open
Dinner: 50's Primetime

Monday: Magic Kingdom
Breakfast: Crystal Palace
Lunch: CRT
Dinner: Open (Very Merry Christmas Party)

Tuesday: Animal Kingdom
Breakfast: Tusker House
Lunch: Open
Dinner: Open- Perhaps CRT

Wednesday: Epcot
Breakfast: 1900 Park
Lunch: Le Cellier
Dinner: Garden Grill

Thursday: DHS
Breakfast: Open
Lunch: Sci Fi
Dinner: Brown Derby

Friday: Open for various activities
Breakfast: Chef Mickey
Lunch: (various, since Hannah will do Alice Tea, Lizzie will go to the mouse club and Emmy and The Husband will either swim with dolphins or do the snuba with the fish)
Dinner: Le Chefs de France

Saturday: Magic Kingdom
Breakfast: Open
Lunch: Open (maybe Tony's?)
Dinner: 1900 Park

Sunday: Last Day
Breakfast: Ohana
Lunch: Open

I would love to hear ideas and suggestions! And if you think it's crazy that I have started thinking about meals already, the girls and I are already thinking clothes. Of course Hannah alone could probably fund another trip with what she wants. She fell in love with a Disneyland parade dress (where the $70 fabric came from), and stumbled on me looking at Mom2RTK's stuff and said she wants Mary Poppins, Cindy, AND the FairyGodmother.

After just coming back and using the regular DP, the only thing I would suggest is not doing two meals back to back - especially breakfast and lunch. They are just too close together. The days that we did a sit down breakfast and dinner were fine or even an early lunch and a later dinner. Besides the meals you listed, we also did Askershus and really enjoyed it (dinner). And a tip if you get Photopass - if you get a picture package (whether included or purchased seperately) they can add it to your photpass card!!! Although Tuskerhouse and Park Fare said it couldn't be done, when I took all of our package pics to the photopass booth in our resort, the CM just slide the 8 x 10 picture out, found the event number, and added ALL of the pics taken to our photopass card!!! CRT, Askershus, PF and TH!!! But I think that it has to be done at Disney, not once you get home!!

okay, it's 2:00 AM and I can't sleep so I thought I'd just get up and post these.

Today I completed my very first Vida. I'm glad it's my first because it leaves MUCH room for improvement. It would be awful if this were my 10th Vida and it looked like this

Not only was it my first Vida, it was my first applique as well. It looks like this:

And the Vida (drum roll, please.....)

Now I wonder if I can find an 8-year old who wants to wear it to Crystal Palace?

And now I must try and sleep. Again.

Congrats on your first Vida!!! It turned out beautifully!! And Eyeore is my favorite, too!!

Thanks Marah!! I LOVE your Ponyo applique. I think she picked out PERFECT fabrics!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Hi Friends,
I feel so bad to even but could you, would you, just say a prayer for my mom. It seems so trivial compared to those who are so ill or hurt. But my mom is hurting so bad on the inside.

I looked for about an hour but the fields are so tall right now. I scanned the fields, checked the forests, called, drove, called some more. Finally my mom insisted I leave.

It has been 12 hours since Savannah went missing and it is more than likely too late for a good outcome. She most likely got eaten by a mountain lion or shot.

Mom is devastated. There is no consolation or closure since we can't find anything of her dog. Please I know it is seems so small but if you could pray for peace and comfort for my mom.

Yes, I have the machine. It is nice but so bitter sweet. I do have pictures but i am going back to mom's.

Don't give up! My kitty was missing for 3 weeks. I knew I should give up, but I just couldn't. I kept praying and the lady who found him called me one Sunday morning during Sunday School. The really cool part is that right after that I was teaching in Children's Church and the lesson was on faith. Boy, did I have a good illustration for that one!

On the adoption stories: those just make me sick. What is wrong with people?! We are trying to adopt through the foster care system and I know we will have to deal with some of these issues. We have said that race does not matter, but I know if she is AA (or even other race) we will have to cut some family off. My family is great and will be no problem, but unfortunately, DH extended family is another matter. At least they are a long way away and we don't see them very much anyway. And if they say one word, good riddance!!!

I'm done with minnie dots outfit..

.

Good job. Love the white capris with the ruffles like that.

Here is the photo pictorial of my sewing machine adventure. Sorry if they are big. Penny the shop owner

Congrats on the new machine. Hope the dog returns to your mom soon, she must be worried sick.

OK you asked for it.

Great bubble fabric and awesome job with the applique.

Great job with the Vida and the applique. I'm sure you can find an 8 year old somewhere.


Thanks for all the compliments on the Curious George pj's. The kids are coming to town tonight, so I get to give presents. That is always fun.

Hi all!
Life has been crazy and for some reason I don't always get updates from this thread any more!!!
I wanted to share my newest creation. I shared the skirt before but I finally finished the top. Nikki wants to wear her today but I want her to save her for our trip. I am torn!!!

Here are my newest additions to my family! Beulah and her daughter Petunia! My mom sent them to me. HEr company sells stuff to places like Restoration Hardware and Anthroplolagie among other places. They are more for show then for actual design but she figured they where fun! They had one that was my kids size but they sold out of it . Oh well. It was a great surprise from my mom!

I knew you would post here first. I love the pink polka dot and rickrack. Eeyore looks good, but I thought applique hurt your hand to much, and also your arm. Oh how cute!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Hi Friends,
Thanks for the prayers for Savannah, Mom's black shepard. We have searched fields and forests. It has been 24 hours and I fear the worst. The dog has not returned or been seen. Perhaps when they do the cutting the farmer might let us know is he finds the dog. Mom is sad and I am just trying to get her to continue with going through the motions of life. What else can we do?

Nicole, I would love to know what you find out in the class about stabilizers. Please share. The machine is great but I have work once again.

Sorry to be so sad today, I just really liked that dog.

My son's best little girl friend from preschool will be at WDW the week after us, and my sweet son wants me to make her an outfit for Animal Kingdom. I am doing her a pair of zebra skorts with a hot pink tee. On the shirt I am putting an applique Minnie head in the same zebra fabric as the skorts. Here is my question. If the shirt is hot pink and the applique is zebra print, what colors should Minnie's bow be? My son wants me to do it in black with hot pink dots. What do you think ladies? I always sew for boys so I am not sure what looks good for the girls. Does that outfit sound okay to you?

We did hot pink and zebra print last year. We loved them and still wear them when we take trips to the zoo. We did black bows with white dots but I think the pink dots would be great! I actually made bows out of large ribbon and pinned them for more of a 3-D affect.

That shirt and skirt are to die for. I love it. The body forms are wonderful and could be decorations and functional.

I hope you got some sleep and this is just beautiful. I love eyore and you did a super job.

I love that colour combination and of course your daughter is so cute.

OK you asked for it.

Lovely dress, I like the tie back and fabric choice.

(It's for Lizzie, so she picked the fabrics)

The fabric is perfect and your skilz are really amazing.

I found this forum several months ago while searching for custom Disney clothes. I had only sewn one thing in my life, an apron for home ec that fell apart. But you ladies (and Tom) inspired me. My mil gave me a sewing machine and I have been sewing every since. I love it! I hope one day to be able to do the beautiful work that you all do.
I have a question about a ruffler foot for my machine. I have the Brother Disney se-270d. The brother website does not list a ruffler foot for this machine. It does have a gathering foot, though. Several sewing machine websites list the sa143 ruffler foot as compatible with my machine. Do any of you have this machine or know if there is a ruffler foot that I can use? I am wanting to try a patchwork skirt soon and would love to not have to ruffle everything by hand.
I appreciate any help. I promise to come back and drool over your beautiful creations, and I will try to learn how to upload pics of some of mine. If I can learn to sew, maybe I can learn my way around the computer too. thanks to you all!

I have the Brother Disney se-270d. You just need to find a snap-on foot. My mom ordered one off of a website for $59.

I am making a dress out of some of the blue fabrics for a customer and I want to make Lyddie a dress out of the green and pink. I just love this fabric!

The green is a linen type fabric and the blue is the softest cotton! I think I'll make Arminda something with the blue too.

This makes me sad, but these pictures do not show up for me!

okay, it's 2:00 AM and I can't sleep so I thought I'd just get up and post these.

I am going to trace a vida that I have today, with the hopes of sewing one this weekend. I hote mine comes out half as good as your first try!!

"I like it and I want to wear it really bad."

 

[fairygoodmother]

"I like it and I want to wear it really bad."

So the 8 year old likes it. Her 5 year old sister, on the other hand, made a face and said she'd rather wear something else. Mommy says "what else?" She answered simply "something else".
Something tells me Olivia Kate is NOT a Vida type of girl, whatever that is. It must be because there's no sign of a petticoat or "poufity".
