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

[Camping Griswalds]

I think this lady needs a little fun in her life right now. I would be self-conscious wearing something like this but then I'm hesitant to wear a purchased character tee anywhere but Disney. That seems to be common for adults - we find it hard to let the child in us come out which is why Disney is so popular for adults as well as kids IMHO.

I have to agree about being self conscious. Although I will say that I would wear a top like that and a pair of capris to match my daughter.....but I think the look would not be a good one...for either me or the appliques. I think you have hit the nail on the proverbial head about Disney too. It lets lots of us be who we really want to be under the disguise of vacationing at Disney!

Well, I finally finished the Patricia Tunic and gave it to my mom for her birthday present!! She really like it and said it was very comfortable!! What do you think??

It looks like she loves it. I think you did a great job and she is beautiful in it. The color suits her very well.

Lauren's version of the Molly dress:

And the adult Meghan version:

Keep in mind I am 24 weeks pregnant in this picture, so the fit is fairly forgiving.

I love the dress you made for DD. You look adorable, it makes a great maternity top. How are you feeling?

I feel like I can now officially become a part of the Disboutiquers

First and foremeost, I owe thanks to everyone here for giving me the courage to pull my machine back out and make something I am actually proud of. All of you have helped me find patterns that are simple, given me tips on needles, thread, topstitching, etc. And you've all posted such beautiful, inspiring creations. So thank you to all (Never mind the few seams I had to rip out and redo).

The story behind the dress is that I wanted to make something to test before making Disney clothes so I chose a back to school outfit. I had dd try on the bodice and she hated it. She said she wouldn't wear anything with the number fabric (ugh!). Well, since all the fabric was purchased and cut I pursued and figured I'd bribe dd with Disney dollars. Once I completed the dress I showed it to dd and showed her how it twirled. She immediately begged to put it on and didn't want to take it off and wants to wear it all day tomorrow and have all her clothes from here on out be twirly!

For the Disney wardrobe I am hoping to do those outfits once dd returns to school so they can be surprises presented to her at Disney.

OK, now lets hope the photos work:
Oh, and I plan to add a sash (have it cut but not sewn) and have yet to make a hairbow.

Could not for the life of me get a decent twirl photo, but you can admire dd's curls in this one:

Great job on your first dress! I love back to school dresses.

I finally finished Nikki's Tink outfit for WDW! I think I have posted the skirt before but here is is with the top. I hand pieced the Tink applique of Heathers design. THANKS HEATHER !!!!!!!! I would ahve used Heather emb design in a heart beat but I have a baby hoop and Tink would have been tiny and I wanted her big so Heather let me so kindly use her image

I also finished Kyle's stitch shirt.
Sorry there are wet spots on the shirt I was trying to get off my marking pencil marks...

Now I need to think of Epcot outfits! The kids informed me they need them especially if we are meeting Cathy and her girls there. NO CLUE what to do!! I was just making outfits with things I knew they would like but the kids are already declaring what outfits are for what day Epoct is actually me least favorite park so I am so not inspired to make something specai any suggestions would be great....

I love the Tink Outfit! Stitch turned out really nicely. My DD loves Stitch and your applique turned out great.

Hello! I am mostly a lurker, but have posted a couple of times. I was insipired to start sewing for my girls after reading through this thread. I do not usually post because I am a novice sewer, but get some help from my mom.
Anyhoo, we are having a pony party for my DD's 4th birthday. I would like to her to have a western top that does not scream "western", so I was thinking about maybe a colorful bandana top, but do not want a halter. ANY IDEAS, Please??
Here is a top I found on ebay that i thought was cutehttp://cgi.ebay.com/Boutique-Custom-Red-Bandana-Top-Decoupage-Jean-3T_W0QQitemZ110347167005QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item19b134251d&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116


Here some of the most recent dresses I made:

This patchwork dress has been one of the hardest I have done yet! I made it doe DD's 2nd birthday in March and I can not believe I did not get any good pictures of her in it!

I love the outfits you made!
Be Careful about posting links to Ebay auctions. *It is against the board rules*

Here are some travel bathroom bags I made for the family for out trip in less than 2 weeks I got the pattern from a link someone posted here, thank you

they were pretty quick and easy once I figured out what I was doing (ok by the last one

Those are really cute. I should make those for the kids. They would love it if I filled it up with new toiletries.

Got a couple of mickey heads done for a big give.

Cute!

Do you ever sew Ottobre? They have the best boy patterns ever. Here are a few things I've made for my boys from Ottobre:

These are gorgeous!! Do you use a walking foot? Where do you find such colorful knits? I haven't used an Ottobre pattern. Are they from a magazine? I have used a couple Burda patterns, I have a pair of shorts for DS cut out from a Burda pattern. They are german too but they have english directions and you can buy them at JoAnn's.

Oops sorry, did not realize that...it is NOT my auction, just using it as an example as what I was looking for.

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Does anyone have clip art for the What Will you Celebrate Mickey head balloon???

 

[cerberus]

Those dresses are adorable! JoAnn's also has bandana fabric. Couldn't you make a pillowcase top like the dresses?

I am going to try that today, I was just hoping for something for fitted and casual.

I just became a fan....and it reminded me.... I need to move the buttons on Taylor's stepsister outfit today....and then I can post some pictures of her wearing the cute outfit you made. I guess I will go do that now before I forget again. I can't wait for her to wear it at 1900 PF next Saturday! I even ordered her a stepsister's cake to match.

Miranda will you please pack me in your suitcase? I will be a Mommy's Helper, Nanny/Babysitter, you name it! It sounds like you're doing to have SO much fun!

We have had sellers get really mad when they found out that a link to their auctions were posted. So I just wanted you to know. It wasn't pretty. . .

No Harm Done. . .

I can't wait to see her in it! Can I swipe some pictures for my ME page?? I can't believe you leave so soon!! You should be VERY proud of yourself for all the fabulous sets that you made!!

Never thought of it that way.....hey I would have bought it just for the shirt if it was in a bigger size! I have search the internet and come up with nothing.

I meant to post this yesterday but I forgot. JoAnn's is having a weekend sale and they have the little Cricut (not the expression) on sale for $99. Sale ends today.

HAHA which suitcase? Taylor and I are already going to have 2 large ones a piece. Thank goodness DH is going so he can help carry bags HEHE. I am already thinking we may also need DH's 2nd bag...thankfully we fly Southwest so we get 2 free bags each. My mom and sister go with us to help, not that I think Taylor will want anyone to help with her besides Daddy, but we'd love to have you along for the party.

I am getting sooooooooooo excited! DH is on his way and should get here Monday or Tuesday I think. There are so many things we are doing for the first time this trip, I am just a big kid bouncing up and down right now. Taylor has never worn customs at the world, she has never done BBB, never ordered a custom cake, never done VIP tour, the dessert party, ect. Not to mention DH getting to come home to go with us! YAY I can't wait!

Sure..... I will post them this afternoon....you should be able to copy them, but if you can't let me know and I will email them to you. I will try to get a good shot of the bows too. When we get back I will have some pics of her with the Tremaine family.... feel free to use them too if you want.

Awwww thank you, I still can't believe I learned to sew and made so much for this trip in such a short time....thank you for the encouragement along the way! Your stepsisters outfit is still one of the ones I am the most excited for her to wear.

 

[emcreative]

Please let me know how you like the VIP tour...are you having it at one day/park or more?

I kinda daydream about us getting one for next time, especially for DHS, but we'll see what money is like by then, especially since somehow The Husband decided on both Deluxe Dining AND the moderate hotel

I went to your blog and saw some of the outfits you made, they look great. Sewing does not come naturally to me, but I still enjoy it. I have been enjoying using my mom's embroidery machine, it is much easier than sewing!

Thank you! That means ALOT to me, especially coming from another sew-er

Some of you might have noticed that I haven't been on here much lately. I've been really missing everyone too!! But, I thought I'd explain a little bit about what's been going on. As many of you probably know, we found out the other week that Brian's Dad has bladder cancer. He had surgery to remove it, and it was quite a bit larger than they had anticipated. The doctor told Brian that the cancer was incurable. We were really worried that my FIL wouldn't have much longer to live. Yesterday Brian took his Dad to his appointment and got some more sort of answers. The pathology report had come back, and it was in fact a very agresive form of cancer. But, the doctor is really hoping that he got it all. The doctor gave my FIL 3 options: 1. Inject a form of tuberculosis into the bladder 2. Chemo treatments 3. Wait 5 weeks and go back in to see if the cancer is still there. The hope here is that there will be no cancer left and the doctor got it all. I'm not sure if they would still do some chemo at that point or not. They chose option 3. My FIL also has emphasima, so he doesn't breathe very well and that has me worried too. He is 83 years old, which I guess is old, but to me he doesn't seem old at all, he's Brian's Daddy, you know? So, it's been a real emotional rollercoaster around here for the last few weeks. If you pray, please pray that the cancer is gone and at the 5 week checkup my FIL will have a clean bill of health. He's a grumpy old booger, but I love him dearly.

Praying for your FIL Teresa!

Those dresses are so cute, well done, the girls are real cutties too!!
I am about to try the bandana twirly dress (using the bandana as the bodice) but that will not be a fast easy. It seems to me there is a patern on YCMT that is to use with a bandana.

Here are some travel bathroom bags I made for the family for our trip in less than 2 weeks I got the pattern from a link someone posted here, thank you

they were pretty quick and easy once I figured out what I was doing (ok by the last one)

Thanks for posting those Christine! They are great!
Could you post the link please? I would love to make some. I'm thinking that
in a chic quilting fabric, maybe Michael Miller or something, that they would make a nice Christmas gift for family.

I will. We are doing it 2 days.... at Magic Kingdom Sunday on Taylor's birthday...and at Hollywood Studios on Wednesday for my birthday. I think with all the shows at HS that is where it will be the best. I know it is the least favorite park of a lot of people, but it is one of my favorites. The tours are ridiculously expensive, so I hope it doesn't spoil me too bad... I know we can't do it every trip. This year it is totally a birthday splurge, plus we are saving a ton with the R&R rate at SoG and the military passes, plus I have like $2000 in Disney gift cards I earned online which will cover food and souvenirs, so it makes it easier to justify the cost.

Ok, I am shameless coming and asking for help. I found this thread a few days ago and at 32 have no clue about sewing or anything to do with sewing. But the shirts that I have seen on here with the embroidered characters are awesome and I would love to be able to get my hands on a couple of them before our trip in 32 days. If there's anyone that can lend me a hand or would be willing to do it for a fee, would you please pm me. I have a cricut with all the disney cartridges, we could do some trading on stuff or I can just flat out pay. Just would really like to have a few of these. Thanks in advance to anywone that can help!
