Disboutiquers Part 17 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[momtoprincess A]

So, DS is getting annoyed that Sissy gets stuff from mommy for school and he only got a first day outfit. So yesterday afternoon and this morning I decided to help the little dude out. He's totally into dinos at the minute, so I ran with that.

Here's the first set (excuse the set up)

In case it's hard to see, it's a triceratops skeleton on the top and dino fossil print shorts

here's the second

here's a close up of the head:

and here's where I learned something important; never, ever fail to fully appreciate angels w/ digitizing software like Heather Sue. Because she doesn't do dinos, I thought, sure, I can pick this up somewhere, no problem. 24 thread changes, 40,000 stitches and multiple redos because the colors were wrong later, I finally have a stinkin' t-shirt.

oops, missed a jump stitch, sorry.
If anyone else in interested in the fabric for the shorts, I just got it at Hobby Lobby.

Wow those are really awesome!

Totally OT

But I just have to say WOO HOO, my nephew comes home tonight from his 2nd tour of duty in Iraq. He gets to meet his new baby girl that was born in June, his 1st child. Praise the Lord for his safe journey.

Long time lurker, first time poster. Love the boys outfits! There are so many adorable girl things, and I agree, very little for boys. I have three sons (6, 3 and 1), and these are great for the older boys.

We don't have a Hobby Lobby, but I think I'll scour our Jo-Ann's to see what I can find.

Congratulations to him! My brother was just deployed 2 weeks ago, so we've got a long road ahead of us, but I'm glad that your family's is over!

 

[PolyndianPrincessJes]

Glad to see some boy stuff...even if it's boy stuff I'd never even attempt to create. Great dinos!!

OK, here's phase one of the attempt to lengthen DNiece's shirt...

Now that I know it's long enough, I need to split the front so it looks more like the real dress.

Here's her Snow White outfit (this will be one of her MNSSHP outfits for the Snow White and her boys pic)...

And this might be my biggest accomplishment so far! I wanted a Prince Charming costume for DS, but the ones I saw online were $150+ or really cheap looking (but not cheap!). I thought, what the heck, and slowly began trying to piece one together. Well, thanks to our local consignment sale (where the oxford shirt was 75 cents, the pants were $3 and the shoes were $5) and Hobby Lobby and Hancock's sales, I made his costume for about $10!! It's about half sewn, part glued, part fused, etc. It only has to last for our 1900 dinner, but I'm thinking it might last until Halloween. You can't really see the rope on the front, which was the hardest part, but you get the idea.

It's not exactly like Prince Charming, but I went with what looked easiest. I still think he looks pretty darn cute, though!

Yeah, praying for a safe return and I am happy for your family.

OK ladies, I need your help. I've been feverishly working on my DD's Jessie costume for MNSSHP on October 1st. Now that it's pretty much done, I need something else to fill my time.

So I'm going to make a matching trick or treat bag.

What I need is an embroidery pattern for Jessie to fit a 4x4 machine embroidery hoop. I have plenty of left over cow print and yellow fabric, so I have a design in mind, but I REALLY need a Jessie.

BTW - if anyone would like to see a sneak peek of the shirt (incomplete of course) here it is! I've finished it, and I just have to hem the chaps on the front of her jeans.

Can't help on the design, but the costume is looking great!

Hi Everyone!

We had our first "Mommy and Me" day today. Lizzie picked going to a Tigers game and we had a blast. Here's what I sewed for her, she got lots of attention (Next time, though, I either leave myself more time, or I won't be as ambitious. I didn't finish this until 3am this morning!)

Paws, the Tiger Mascot, LOVED it and kept pointing at her and giving her the thumbs up. He motioned if I made it and then gave some more thumbs up. It was a very Disney-like moment!

I took a zillion pictures, but here's one we took just for y'all:

and here's a shot of the back of the outfit:

Here's one to show you how close we were! Actually we were a row closer to where Lizzie is standing in this picture. We loved our seats, we were right behind home plate. We didn't use the waitress, though, we went and had fun getting our own food and riding the carousel and ferris wheel! (Thanks for the Stub Hub tip, that's where we found the tickets! )

pps- The Tigers won in extra innings, it was an awesome game!!

 

[longaberger_lara]

Ever so slightly OT random musing:

While I was waiting for the dino to stitch out, I was thinking (dangerous, as always) and I wondered:

Do you think Phineas and Ferb might have been in some way loosely based on Ferris Beuller's day off?

First there's the whole alliteration F thing
But then there's the whole bigger and better than anyone could have ever imagined thing
And the sister who desperately wants to bust him thing
And the whole big grin sail through life attitude thing...

I'm sure there are more parallels, but that's as far as I got; I just wondered what y'all thought since we're obviously big Phineas and Ferb fans here

I was thinking the exact same thing while watching Ferris Bueller on TV the other night!!

I've been busy since our Disney trip with both daughter's birthday party last weekend. Here are the cakes & favors I made:

If you look very closely, Cinderella's glass slipper is on the step right above her head. I thought I would have no trouble finding a castle for the cake top at Disney, but couldn't find anything. I had to improvise, so she's actually running out of the back door

I've read through everything & there have been some AMAZING outfits posted!!!

Can someone please point me to the crayon roll up thread??? Thank you very much!!

I didn't know there was a crayon roll up thread. They are very easy to make though. If you google "crayon roll up tutorial" you get a few hits.
Here is how I make mine though:
http://www.sewingforsarahembroidery.com/crayonrolls.htm
They are done in the embroidery hoop. I really like them. I actually have the purse version which has a pocket on the back. I figure they can put little coloring pages there in the pocket.
Here is a tutorial on the sewing machine:
http://www.skiptomylou.org/2007/04/25/on-a-roll/
I like that she used interfacing to make it stiff. That is a good idea.
You can skip the rick rack of course. I admire her for taking the time to put rick rack in a crayon roll up!

Your dd's outfit is AWESOME! Loved it!

I made this skirt nearly a month ago to match a shirt we bought DD last year at the Disney Store. She's going to wear this for arrival day at Disneyland:
