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

[mandyb]

Calling all machine embroider-ers!! (is that a word?)

I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried sewing their embroidery stabilizer scraps together to make one big continuous roll to re-use??

The thought has crossed my mind more than once, because my scrap box is heaping over and driving me crazy. I never throw away a nice size scrap. Yet, I find myself almost never using a scrap piece because I'm a little bit of a control freak about not filling the entire hoop. No piece of scrap ever seems quite the right size to completely fill the hoop. Know what I mean Vern?

Anyone ever do this? I'd love to read the pros and cons...my biggest worry is this isn't going to be worth the time, but I'd sure love to re-use these scraps too!

Did anyone answer this for you? I'm new here but have been sewing forever and I do this all the time. I will overlap and sew together a couple of good sized pieces of cutaway and reuse them. I just make sure I use it on something were the stabilizer isn't going to be showing (lined dress or something like that) I've never had any problems with it. Hope that helps!

Those are awesome!! ARe they hand appliqued or machine?

Thanks! Only Sally was with the machine.

Here is what I have been up to although I probably shouldn't post after Jeanne's appliques!
i made a bunch of Carla's Raglan pattern for our up coming Trip and some Penn State sweet shirts for a game we are taking the kids too.
Buzz sweat shirt for Kyle and my nephew

Penn State for Nikki and Kyle (she was at school so she couldn't model)

POC one for Kyle and Tink for my niece and Nikki

Cindy shirt for my niece. not sure it I am making a skirt or pants to go with it.

Nikki's bday out fit for CRT and BBB I posted the skirt before.. She was mad because there was a bee flying around and Daisy kept bumping her because of course she HAD to be in the picture.

all important twirl factor

Great job on everything Marlo! You are way ahead of me and my trip is way before yours!

 

[Diz-Mommy]

Oh yes!! You must have the twirl factor!! So cute!!

I'm lovin' the pictures!!

 

[Diz-Mommy]

Heather Sue!!!

I need my designs..I have my cherry diet pepsi and a night off of work...Hurry up woman!! LOL I've got me some sewing to do!

OMG!! I love Heather Sue too!! Her designs stitch out so NICE and she is so super nice!!

Did she make something custom for you?

 

[minnie2]

Great job on everything Marlo! You are way ahead of me and my trip is way before yours!

Thanks Jeanne I just realized you are 28 days!!!!!!!

I just realized Nik only will have 6 outfits IF I finish everything and Kyle and Kyle maybe 5 I will hang my head in shame since i am there for 7 days!

 

[Jennia]

Nothing fancy, just a skort I made for dd to wear to school on Wednesday. She picked the fabric and now won't try it on again

How perfect for school/fall!

I finally finished the Very Hungry Caterpillar outfit. I think that the gathering was a bigger pain than the appliques. For some reason the tension completely messed up on the skirt part & it took 3 tries to get it to gather at all & even then it wouldn't do it right. Oh well, it's done & she loves it. I had to remind her that it's for tomorrow before she'd agree to take it off.

Her dress:

LOOVVVEEE the caterpillar dress!

Good evening everyone,

I really love everything that has been posted. You are all so inspiring!!

DD8's specifications for the MNSSHP was a "not too pirate-y, not too pricess-ey" dress. So I came up with this: I think I am going to shorten the skirt, it falls a little too long on her knees

I plan to have her wear either a pink tank top or tshirt depending on the weather under the vest.

She is doing the Pirates League the afternoon of the party so I am not sure if we will dress it up with some chains and bracelets or just see how she ends up. It has some imperfections, but I'm happy with the overall result.

That turned out great!

Hi Everyone!!



Here is Eliz in her easy fit princesses I made for her bday! Its always fun to post an actual model in the outfit!

This weekend we shared our TINY little beach house with our cousin and her family with 5 of the kids there! It was a blast! We did the beach, boardwalk, mini golf - fun fun fun - I hate it that the summer is over!
Hannah and I enjoying some french bread and cheese for lunch!

Tim insisting that since he had 2 straws it was for me to share his drink with him - even his beloved rootbeer!!

And this morning we took a try at one of those surrey carts! What fun!

Those pants are a perfect match for the shirt, and what great beach photos!

Hello everyone. I have been lurking on this thread forever and have popped in a couple of times to say hello and ask some questions. I am a beginning sewer- I just started out sewing by making outfits for my DD (4) to wear on our upcoming first ever Disney vacation. I wanted to show you all what you have taught me by osmosis!

I made this from a Tink bandana that I found at Hobby Lobby. I used some cut outs from the left over bandana fabric to make appliques which I put on an old denim skirt.

I found this panel print at Walmart and loved it. I had thought to make a pillowcase dress- as I said, I'm just learning and didn't have a pattern- but I thought that material deserved something fancier, so I came up with this.

You are some wonderful seamstresses and I love looking at all your work. Thanks again!

Those are so cute!

Hi everyone! I havent been around fo awhile since we had to cancel out trip this year.

I did make custom for the kids birthday party sunday. With the help of my kids godmother.. she did the shirts, I did the skirt. Got the ideas from that unmentionable site.

Here you go:

Very cute!

I have been appliqueing bunches of shirts so the rest of us can match Lily. I'm tired!

These:

and these: (I promise Happy does have facial features, they are just washed out in the photo)

to match this: (UGH, this photo reminds me that the dog just chewed the strap off one of those shoes and she no longer has shoes for that outfit!)

and quite a while ago I stitched out Sally on some stabilizer so I turned it into a patch to make this:

so Jayden can have an updated shirt to match these:

Ahhh, fantastic! I feel like such a slacker just looking at your photos, lol!

Everything looks so cute, those sweatshirts are perfect for going to watch a game. =)

I had to make my reservations on Sunday morning. It was NOT fun to wake up at 6:00am. And to top it off I woke my daughter up about 7am on accident (she usually sleeps until 9-9:30). So I was up for good!
I got mostly what I wanted. Only had trouble with a few reservations - mostly with times. We have 10 total, so that makes it difficult.

Mine are:
Sat Dec 5-Chef Mickey's 9:10pm (little bit late, especially with a 17mth old)
Sun Dec 6-Biergarten 6:25pm
Mon Dec 7-Sanaa 6:55pm
Tue Dec 8-Mama Melrose's 2:40pm(wanted Fantasmic Package, but there were NONE)
Wed Dec 9-Crystal Palace 8:15am
Thu Dec 10-Akershus-5pm
Fri Dec 11-1900 Park Fare 6:05pm
Sat Dec 12-1900 Park Fare 9:40am

I'm going to try calling back every once in a while to get Chef Mickey's earlier and to add Fantasmic to Mama Melrose's for dinner. Has anyone just waited in the normal line for Fantasmic. Now that it is only on certain days is it really busy?? It's only showing 2 of the 8 days we are there!!

It looks like you have some good meals! I'm sorry you didn't get the Fantasmic package -- but keep trying. You may even want to try the night you get there b/c I read in someone's trip report that Tusker was taking walk ins (without ressies) and giving them Nemo tickets.

I am opting not to see Fantasmic. With just 5 days there is only so much we can fit in and the normal line requires you to be there one and half hours early -- no thanks.

I have been appliqueing bunches of shirts so the rest of us can match Lily. I'm tired!

These:

and a close-up to prove that contrary to the former photo they actually DO match

to match this:

and these: (I promise Happy does have facial features, they are just washed out in the photo)

to match this: (UGH, this photo reminds me that the dog just chewed the strap off one of those shoes and she no longer has shoes for that outfit!) anyone have some cute size 9 1/2-10 matchy shoes?

and quite a while ago I stitched out Sally on some stabilizer so I turned it into a patch to make this:

so Jayden can have an updated shirt to match these:

Please tell me you are doing those on an embroidery machine -- they are all awesome. You are going to be the most coordinated family ever! I so wish I could get dh to do a little something. And I think a new pair of red shoes would look smashing with the SW

Great sweatshirts! The Tink is soooo sweet. I love the pastel colors. And I love the t you made to go with the skirt.

OK, I know I lost some quotes....did somebody steal them?

Really liked the Tink halter and denim skirt -- no way you can be too new to sewing to come up with these outfits on your own.

And beleive it or not, for the kids first day at school I did NOT go to a fabric store. It was pouring rain so I stayed home and made a sash (pictures to be posted momentarily). I did stop at Target though and found some nice clearance t's for dd that I can applique on (not necessarily for Disney -- jus things for school/everyday wear).

I them all! No school like old school, right with ya.

Do you still need any of that pirate fabric? I saw some at my JoAnn's here in Georgia. It was the one you posted with the black map background.

Let me know if you still need some.

I don't think I can get done what I need to by this trip but I sure would like to just have more for the next trip. If you don't mind getting it for me I can pay you with paypal or trade from some Friends around the world fabric.

 

[Sapper383]

OMG....I LOVE Heather......Thank you soooo much. Without your tutorial I would have never have been able to do this
I just made this tshirt for my DS10, Ieuan for our trip in just over a week. I thought it would match Molis Animal Kingdom dress.
I am sooo pleased in how it has turned out, especially as this is my first.....its not a patch on the rest of yours but, hay,the only way is up.

I'm going to make these for my DH and myself.

Thanks again

No clue who mentioned it, but someone wondered if you could make a Simply Sweet reversible. Now, I have never made a Simply Sweet before, but I thought I'd give it a whirl. And now that I am done I can tell you I don't recommend doing it.

The biggest problems I had in construction were adding the band at the bottom and attaching the skirt to the bodice. The main problem is you can only really see the side you are top stiching on so the underside doesn't necessarily line up like it should. It made one side of the dress a little wonky looking.

Also, when attaching the bodice to a double skirt it's sewing through too many layers -- must remember to change my needle before my next project b/c I'm sure this outfit wreaked havoc on it.

And final issue, the dress is heavy and likely will be a bit hot when wearing it.

The only fabric you save on is the band and straps. I also opted not to do buttonholes with knots since I saw the easier option to tie the straps.

Here are the results (and pictures are crappy as my model was unavailable and Petunia doesn't live in my house -- likewise, hung the thing on a lingerie chest and the handles of the drawers don't flatter the photo any -- and cheap camera -- and poor lighting -- yadda, yadda, yadda)

Side one:

Back side so you can see the sash (which I naturally forgot to fluff up before taking pic):

Close up of applique (went a wee bit weird by the ear and the bridle actually has some spaces in it that don't show up on the photo) and here you can also see the weird puckering from blind topstiching (though sash should cover it):

And finally, the reverse side (and hard to see, but there are red flowers on the horse fabric which is wear I picked the coordinating fabric from):

 

[Diz-Mommy]

Thank you mandyb for the helpful tips on my stabilzer question!

I tried to find your post to quote, but I'm swimming in this thread and can't find it anywhere- I read it in my email updates though. I just wanted to let you know your help is appreciated

 

[snubie]

Wanted to give a quick shout of thanks to everyone who answered my hairbow questions yesterday! I really appreciated it! And on a side note......I will make the bows for each of my girls teams and NEVER again! I do not like making bows! I was able to get six done last night and I have six more to do and then I am SO DONE with bowmaking! For those of you out there who sell them I have to say they are worth every penny I have ever paid for a bow!

Ahem to that!

Great job!

I have a friend headed to WDW in a few weeks for her DD's birthday. No child should go to WDW without any customs so I made her a twirl skirt and 2 matching shirts.

I also made a coordinating shirt for the birthday girl's little sister:

THANK YOU HEATHER!

We're going to be there the same week as well!! d However, we are staying offsite and won't have the dining plan. So, I only booked 3 meals. The rest of the time we'll do counter service, eat offsite, or at our condo.

Sat Dec 5 Cinderella's Royal Table 7:10 p.m. (this is the day we arrive...we are driving, but my parents are flying so I hope they get in on time for this!)
Sun Dec 6 Akershus 9:35 a.m.
Mon Dec 7 Crystal Palace 10:20 a.m.

I'm almost done with the outfits for my DD. My new camera lens should be here by the end of the week so I will take pictures and post them as soon as I can!

Those are awesome!! I made 2 shirts for my friend's DD, whose birthday is in a few weeks. They will be at Disney the same week as us so I figured her DD needed shirts as well.

I need to figure out to multi-quote! But I just wanted to say I'm loving ALL of the outfits being posted. It makes me want to make more for my DD! And, I'll be asking for an embroidery machine for Christmas. lol

 

[aksunshine]

My everyone has been busy! I get back and I'm over 75 pages behind! I have been skimming and seeing so many CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!!! things! I can't mention them all. Love the hungry caterpiller, and the ruffle back Beauty and Beast! Cute Alice set too! Great job everyone.

I did see a few Disers! I know a few have already mentioned our meeting!

Totally OT:
We tried to get Hannah some dance shoes today (she needs Ballet, Tap and Jazz/Hip Hop) but our local dance store went out of business, and the stock left at her dance studio of course was not in Hannah's size. So out of desperation we decided to try a few local resale shops.

We didn't find the shoes but look what we DID find!!!!

It looks brand new and it is just Hannah's size with a little room to grow!!! And, check out the price:

Plus, since we're foster parents we get a discount...so it was (drumroll please) a whopping $12.79!!!!!

YAHOO!

OH! And if anyone sees the doll size coat for less than the $40+ it is on that one site, could you please let me know? Thanks!

And in slightly more on topic news, Igor is in Ohio so I'm hoping he'll be here tomorrow or Thursday!

The instructions I have for a pettiskirt calls for Nylon Chiffon. I went to Joanns and Hobby Lobby this weekend and they both only had Polyester Chiffon. What's the difference in the two? HL has the Poly Chiffon on sale this week for $2.99 yd but I don't want to get it if it won't work well. What do ya'll think??

I've been using afcexpress and they ship really fast. They called me a couple weeks ago to tell me that to check this month, they were getting animal prints. (I asked in my order a couple of months ago).
