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

[disneygirlsanddrew]

I LOVE this idea. I have thought several times that I want to do a pillowcase. I've never done it, but we're doing a cruise for Spring Break next year, so I'm definitely gonna do it then!

I can't wait to see your quilt.

I also love this idea! Can you post the link to the original post about it? Did they have a picture of one?

Everything is so cute. My two year old was looking with me and informed me she NEEDS a Nemo dress like that. I think I am creating a custom monster. May I ask you where you got the precious little minnie shoes?

I actually got the minnie shoes in WDW last year! My girls love them!!!!

 

[busy mommy]

I decided to sew a few things for my older two for our trip. My dd agreed to let me sew an a-line for her, since it is ok to act like a kid at Disneyworld. She also picked out the Molly Peasant top. I am going to make her a few things to coordinate with Maddie for our meals. When I finish with her, I will start on the boy child. I can't think about more than one thing at a time.
Here is a picture of Abbie looking like a kid in her a-line:

She is thin, so I just took the size 8 and added 1/2 inch all around except on the fold. It seemed to work. I'm not sure that is the correct way to enlarge a pattern, though.

First time I have sewn customs or anything for that matter! I am so excited, plus, it seems easier to pack this year for some reason! Get ready for a lot of pictures:

Tink dresses (they are pretty full in the back - it was hard to gather the front a lot because of tink image - I know it sounds weird but they don't look weird on):

Tink bow:

1900 park fare for youngest dd (this skirt is super full):

My oldest DD's 1900 park fare (and maybe BBB outfit - I'm not sure. We are going there the same day. Should she wear this or a princess dress?):

My oldest DD's belle dress - I haven't decided when to wear this one yet:

I was excited that Mrs. Potts turned out so well since I don't have an embroidery machine and have been trying to learn to do everything by hand on my sewing machine.

My youngest DD's belle dress:

Minnie dresses:

Crystal Palace outfits:

AK and Tusker House Breakfast outfits - front of vidas:

Ruffled socks and hairbows:

Back of Vidas:

Nemo bows:

I posted these once before, but these are the dresses they will wear with the bows:

I made these for our trip last year before I learned how to sew. We'll take them again though. They are pretty cute on.

And we'll have these princess vidas I already posted:

And I'll take the ribbon skirts and tanks I made last year. Plus, I need to pack their princess dresses!

Stunning!!!!

You can't possibly be new to sewing! Please share all your secrets with me. How did you do the Tink appliques? I love her wings! How did you do the Tusker House appliques (those are my absolute favorite and dd would love something like that)? How did you make the socks? And how do you do your appliques so perfect? I am awe of you! Simply amazing work!

And I second, where did you get those shoes?

ETA: My daughter is requesting the AK outfits but she would like her shoes to be Minnie for one foot and Daisy for the other.

Everything is looking gorgeous!! Isn't sewing fun?

I think this looks great. If it worked, then yes, that is the way to enlarge!! My 20 yo neice would like this outfit!

Wow! you've been busy. Everything looks great! I really like the AK vidas.

That's so cute. It's nice to see the older girls still getting into the spirit.

Aisling's bday is October 24th...She came home on Halloween! Her outfit was WAAAAYYY too big (she weighed 5 1/2 lbs coming home) but she still looked cute!

oh, so cute!

I finished this a while ago, but Violet hasn't been in a posing mood (she wasn't this morning, either, when I took these photos, but I'll admit that I bribed her lol!):

I bought that shirt on Etsy before I'd tried to do applique myself, and it was a huge mess of threads in the back (like none of the threads had been clipped, plus there was a huge knotted area as well).

Love it! sorry to hear about the finish of the shirt, though; really dissapointing

May I please ask you to pray for our whole town??

We just received word that one of the teachers at one of our high schools passed away in his sleep last night. He didn't show up for work today and couldn't be reached, which prompted a visit to his home.

He was 29 years old, a math teacher and football coach at Enochs High School. Enochs has only been around for 3 years, and he was there since the beginning. (They graduated their first senior class last year. When the school began, there were only freshman and sophomores and they were like family.)

Please pray for the students, faculty, and staff at Enochs HS. We have 6 high schools in town, and you can imagine that this will impact all of them in some way.

how awful; I'm praying now.

I love this! Not too "little girl" at all; super cute!

disneygirlsanddrew,
Great outfits! I love the texture and mix up of fabric on the safari outfits.

I did see that they had the pirate but out of stock. I did get the tan!

Finally, here is a good site that I found:http://www.sewforum.com/viewforum.php?f=60

So I'm making Carla's patchwork skirt. It's only my 2nd one. I felt pretty confident until...dun dun dun...I just ruffled all my tiers BEFORE attaching them. You are supposed to ruffle the bottom tier, then attach it to the next tier, then ruffle that next tier and so on...Did I totally mess up? Or do you think assembling it all pre ruffled will be ok? I REALLY don't want to undo all that ruffling. It came out so pretty!

 

[mommyof2princesses]

Been really busy sewing. Hope to upload to photobucket and share tonight. Got them uploaded to FB already.

I did the online check in today! 10 more days! YAH!!!

 

[NiniMorris]

HELP!!!!

What causes a satin stitch to 'skip' stitches? When my quilting machine skips stitches, it is a bear to trouble shoot, but I always know where to start.

So far I have:
*changed the needle
*took thread completely out and re-thread
*Put in a new bobbin
*took apart everything that would come apart and cleaned out lint (waaaaaay more lint than I expected!)
*turned machine off and let computer rset


At this point I have no idea where to go. I had finally gotten the stitches to look half way decent on my appliques and now this! URGH!!!

You'll be fine - it's just easier to attatch a tier to the one above it before it's ruffled. If I did the same thing, I wouldn't take out the gathers, I'd finish it up with it as is.

 

[Rebecuberduber]

Wow, love all the stuff posted! Such wonderful inspiration!
Here's the toy story dress I made for Jozlyn's Big Give. It's for her 2-year-old sister who likes Toy Story. (Modeled by my 2-year-old.)

And here is the countdown chain my kids made with help from their 10-year-old auntie who was staying with us for the weekend. I didn't get her in the picture, though. 119 days to go, today! I suggested they wait until closer to the trip to make a countdown, when there are, oh, I don't know, 30 days. But they insisted! It took them all day. They even numbered and decorated each individual link. They were very diligent workers!

They've started making their autograph books, already, too.

Did everyone see they announced Mandy Moore is going to be Rapunzel in the 2011 Disney film?

What a great trip wardrobe!!! Which appliques did you do by hand? They all look great.

They look great! Did you find someone to help you out on the patches you had been asking for? I see you found Mrs. Potts - she looks great!
Did Lisa help you with the safari vida's? I thought I recognized her work.

Great job! Your girls are going to be adorable and get so much attention on your trip! Enjoy every minute of it!
