Disboutiquers Part 18 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[BBGirl]

So glad I found you all! I'm a bit of sewing addict (or so the embarassing stash of fabric in my garage says) and excited to see all of your neat projects. Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to find a pattern for a cute cotton princess dress that could be worn comfortably all day. I've seen some really cute Cinderella and Belle ones on here, but I wasn't sure if it was a pattern, or just amazing talent.

I need about a 4t and 18 mo. Oh, and we leave in January!! Nothing like a last minute trip! Thanks.

It's amazing talent.
I believe you will need the simply sweet by Carla C on YCMT. If you go to here blog here, she will show how to modify for Belle and Cindy. This is the most comfy dress I have made my DD.
HTH

Welcome! I've been sewing for a long time, but the creations of these ladies (and one dad!) I am in awe of too! The comfy princess dresses are the Simply Sweet pattern by Carla C, and can be found on www.youcanmakethis.com The size range will cover both of your princesses. Carla has a blog with the directions to princess-ify the dresses here http://scientificseamstress.blogspot.com/ They go together easy even for novice sewers.

Wanted to share the Tiana shirt I sewed out using Heather's new design. I think she's super cute! We leave tomorrow, so I really only had time to put her on a shirt rather than do an outfit, but I think it will still be really unique. I plan on doing a frog shirt for little sister

Just a quick update--I bought the lavender Disney princess print cotton fabric, complete with sparkles, from Hobby Lobby today. DD was all smiles and giggles and soooooo excited. No mention was made of the earlier conversation ("Hannah doesn't like Cars, can you make me a princess dress?"), but she did mention that "The bad girls (which includes Hannah) didn't like my turkey." She was wearing a ribbon sculpture turkey clippie that I'd made her. It doesn't seem to bother her, though. I mean, she mentions the comments, but goes on being her happy bubbly self. I hope she stays self-confident like this.

SO, what to make??? A-line or Simply Sweet? A-line pro: would show off the print well and I can make one in a couple hours, con: I've made her 3 A-lines already. Simply sweet pro: fun and twirly, and still relatively easy to make, con: would the folds of the dress hide the princess print too much?

Also, I made DS a tie from fabric with pilgrim hat-wearing turkeys on it. I used the patchwork kids pattern from YCMT. I am so spoiled by Carla's patterns--this one seeming confusing and disappointing in comparison. He loved it and just had to wear it to school yesterday! Look past the goofy hair-do....he gave himself a haircut at school with his safety scissors and cut all the hair across his forehead down to 1/4 inch and we are still in the growing it out phase.

Love the tie. Ti thrown ya another one I'm using that fabric to make a Molly. not a dress but longer then a shirt. DD wants to wear it with strech pants.

When DD wore her Cars dress last week, she told me a day or two later "Hannah doesn't like Cars, she like princesses, can you make me a princess dress?" I told her I don't care what Hannah (a girl in her class that she has told me several times about, always something negative) likes, what matters is what YOU like. I would love to make her a dress out of princess print fabric, but not for that reason. So, do I make the dress or not? I guess I could but possibly wait a while to give it to her. I don't want her to think she needs to dress according to someone else's rules. She's 3!!!

Also, not Disney related, but here are the A-line and ruffled easy fits set that I made for DD for Thanksgiving:

Love the Thanksgiving outfit! And boo to mean girls!!!!

Okay, I finished the 9 pairs of flannel easy fit pants that DD(GoofyG) cut out yesterday. I also finished 2 other pair of easy fits to finish up one outfit for each of the DGD's for our Disney trip. At least I finally feel like I've accomplished something. I can scratch these off of my to do list.

The snowflake pants are awesome! I may have to make a pair for my daughter - she and Jack love snow! Even though we never have any...

Awesome tie! And you can't go wrong with a simply sweet!!!!

We are getting Christmas pictures taken tomorrow. I had already finished the feliz for DD so I decided to make a Christmas bowling shirt for DS.

Such a cute shirt!!!!

Everybody has been doing such cool things this week! I am behind, as my mil is still here til Sunday. But I am itching to make something! Maybe 1 quick dress....

Got one more thing checked off the trip list.

My first attempt at applique:

The finished top:

And my sassy little model:

So now all that's left to do is the matching version of this for DD15mo, two iron-on t-shirts, two simple applique t-shirts, and the tulle ruffle on DD8's otherwise finished scallopini. 17 days left, and I'm finding I work much better with a stress-inducing deadline looming!

That is super CUTE!! Where did you find that Mickey swirl fabric!? It rocks!

My mom's stash. We came across it a few years ago at Joanns and bought it with the intention of making something for DD8's 6th birthday trip. That was summer 2007 and I hadn't started sewing yet, so it was totally my mom's project. She never got around to it and the fabric sat there untouched until I brought it home to start working on outfits for my girls!

 

[busy mommy]

Great job! I am so jealous of your mickey swirl.

 

[karebear1]

Just popping in to say

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Hope you have a joyful, blessed day with family and loved ones. Don't forget to count those blessings!!

I'm soooooo jealous- I've been stalking that famous auction site for months trying to score some! Great job!

I have posted these outfits before, but not worn. Today we got Christmas pictures taken. These pictures turned out great.

And this is a picture of all of us.

And thanks everyone here, because without this thread I wouldn't have ever made there outfits. I also wouldn't have known the feliz or bowling shirt existed.

 

[Adi12982]

Adi, Isabel is beautiful! I skimmed your story because I'm a little squeamish but the pictures are gorgeous! Hope you two are doing well now!

Thank you, we are doing great (although I'm not sleeping much because she thinks 5am is a reasonable bed time

Just remember: Each delivery is completely different. There's no reason to think the next one would be the same.

And just because Miami is the c-section capital does NOT mean you didn't need one. Meconium can be very serious. NOT having one when you need it has even worse consequences than HAVING one when you didn't.

Enjoy and congratulations. You have SO much to be thankful this year!

I do have sooo much to be thankful for! Thanks for your kind words of support and encouragement.

Adi12982-baby Isabel is beautiful!!!! Congratulations!

Thank you sooooo much

Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl!!! Sorry about the birth experience and care by anethesiologist wasn't as planned...yikes about all the sticks. You are such a trouper.

Thank you

Loved Isabel's birth story and pictures Adi! She is so beautiful! I love seeing pics of her on FB. Lily was an emergency c-section and I was disappointed, but in hindsight it probably saved her life.

Thanks! I know it was probably for the best (the c-section) but it is hard to not think the what if's. I am getting over it - and I know that the next time can and will be unique and I can try again for what I want

Congratulations, She is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Makes me miss my DD4 being that size!

I am already missing how small she was at first (even though she is still under 9lbs). I even got teary eyed last night, thinking about her turning 6 weeks on Friday!

GORGEOUS baby, and sooo much hair! I'm sorry to hear about all of the issues that happened and that it sounds like you had someone incompetent poking away at you, ugh! Glad to hear that everything's going well for both of you, she is such a stunning little girl.

THANK YOU!! We love all her hair too - I was surprised she has so muh - I did at birth but DH only had fuzzies. . . guess she took after me in that regard - except her's curls when wet.
[/QUOTE]

I don't have time to go back and look through all the posts I missed but I wanted to let everyone know that I had the baby last week.

Megan Grace was born Friday Nov 20 at 4:22 am - 8 pounds 13 ounces and 23 inches. We are home and doing OK. Lauren is less than pleased right now but I am sure she will come around.

CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS!! What a gorgeous (and big) girl! My Isabel weghed les sthan that at her 1 month appointment! So glad all is well and that you are both healthy!!

I'm trying to catch up but I've only been able to go about six pages back. We leave for our Mom & Me birthday trip on Saturday and I've been trying to get all of my sewing done. I haven't even made a packing list or anything like that yet!

I like it, especially the fabric combo!

Has anyone thought of New Years yet!!

That is wonderful! Festive! If I could see past my upcoming trip to acknowledge Christmas or New Year's, I might try to make something half as cute for my dd for New Year's.

Welcome to the world, Megan Grace!

I really like that! I love how those fabrics go together.

Got one more thing checked off the trip list.
And my sassy little model:

I like this, the applique, and the sassy little model is a cutie, too!

 

[kathyell]

Here are the things I just finished up before my daughter and I leave on Saturday morning. Yikes, these are the last things I'm going to make because I want to spend the rest of my pre-trip time planning and packing, but she does have at least one homemade thing to wear each day of the trip, and most days, she has two.

Mickey and friends Christmas skirt (with bought top):

to make into a thumbnail, replace file name with 4134136914_f909a860bd_m.jpg

We aren't doing MVMCP, but I hope to have her wear this and visit the Santa at Downtown Disney while we're there.

Teal jumper/sundress

to make into a thumbnail, replace file name with 4134136442_20425cc9bd_m.jpg

I'm kinda lukewarm on this one, but my daughter loves it because it has pockets. The girl loves pockets, what can I say.

Tink shirt and twirl skirt

Twirling:

Closeup on the skirt, because I was so happy when I saw this green fabric that matched the green in the Tink fabric, PLUS it had gold sparkle in it that looked like pixie dust to me!

Princess Tiana shirt and skirt:

to make into a thumbnail, replace file name with 4134043456_e0366b1519_m.jpg

I'm hoping this one gets us picked to go on the riverboat for the jubilee, but I'll settle for just having her wear it to meet Tiana and we'll watch the jubilee from land if we aren't picked, since my girl is really excited for the new movie.

Happy sewing all!

 

[TinkerbelleMom]

I can tell everyone is busy with turkey day prep, it's been quiet here today! I finished Rebecca's Christmas dress today. My regular camera is MIA, so sorry about the cell phone pic! I was afraid if I didn't get it now, she'd never pose again! LOL It's a Simply Sweet with a double twirl skirt over a portrait peasant. I've got the Wave serger, and this is the first time I used that feature, I feel like I cheated on the hem because all I did was the wave stitch to finish. The embroidery came from Etsy and says "I <heart> Christmas" Her big sisters say she looks like Cindy Lou Who, from the movie not tv.

Soooo cute! I am going to have to make one like this for my DGD's. You did an excellent job.

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

I love all the outfits that have been posted! Everything is so cute.
I am impressed that some of you are finishing up Christmas Outfits! And having Christmas photos taken too! I did put my tree up though.
I am finishing up DD's Thanksgiving Outfit. Nothing like waiting like the last minute. I am Thankful I am not hosting a Thanksgiving Gathering!

I will be making some goodies to take with me though. Cornbread Dressing, Roasted Vegetables, Pecan Tassies and Pumpkin Pie.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
