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

[jne7043]

Can you girls sprinkle a little motivation dust my way! We leave on Sunday and I have yet to make a thing. I'm not much of a sewer but I machine applique and embroider (I own a boutique). I have 2 boys and all I wanted to make was 2 appliqued Mickey shirts. I've only known about this trips since February!

 

[woodkins]

I'm in the same boat...we are leaving next Thurs. and I still have at least 2 applique Vida dresses to make and I am really limited on time because we are surprising Gianna with the trip that morning. I can't let her see me sewing it or she will know since she only wears customs in Disney world (this is her 7yr old compromise to me...customs are not cool for school LOL).

 

[Stephres]

Those dishtowels are adorable.

Ha Nancy, there was one that was especially cute, I thought!

Well, with 3 days to spare I finished up all my outfits for my daughter! I still have bows I want to finish, and I would have loved to fit in a black petti, but I am happy so far! Here is what I haven't posted so far. They all hang a little wonky - my daughter is still smaller than the dress form.

Outfit for Chef Mickey's: Carla's bowling shirt (need to add buttons), circle skirt and apron from online tutorial. I wish the yellow fabric wasn't so thin.

My take on Princess Tiana. We will be there the day the movie opens so I thought it was a good idea. Maybe with it we'll be picked to go on the Liberty Belle. Easy fit pants and modified simply sweet:

Breakfast with Mary Poppins. This sash is a little wonky - this is what happens when you are rush sewing at 1am! It turned out cute though. Portrait Peasant, Sash, and strip skirt.

I don't know what I would do without Carla! I made the bowling shirt last night for the first time and it went together so easily!!

Love all of these- but the TIana is hands down my fave!

Please do take note of my new ticker And we got Beach club and all the ADR's without a single problem at all. It will be warm but not hot, low crowds and a good trip without any drama.

OK, now you're giving me a complex. You find out I'm coming, and immediately move your trip away from mine. I'm hurt. Did I forget to wear deoderant or something?

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I know the answer, but what was the question?

Oh my friend that is not it at all, you smell great and I wanted to meet with you. I will PM you.

NO NO NO...you can get the tix at Shade of green...no tax!

That is where we always get our tickets...the ticket office is open until 9pm most nights. Since they are a ticket office, they have the ability to print the vouchers right there...

Nini

Thank you!!!! I thought they charged tax there. We are arriving in the morning (on Sunday) so will have plenty of time to get tickets as our first park day won't be until Monday.

Everything is gorgeous! I cant decide what I like the best. I was working on hair bows and headbands today but still have two shirts to finish (one is almost done though).

Get cracking!!! We leave Saturday morning and I really need all day Friday to pack so I must finish my sewing tomorrow.

Do what I did....my dd saw her stepsisters Vida being appliqued and I told her I was making a wall hanging for Aunt b/c her Aunt just loves the stepsisters. She bought it hook, line and sinker. She also saw an appliqued shirt for MVMCP and I told her it was for her brother (yeah, like he'd wear a purple shirt!).

Those outfits are adorable.

Thank you, April!


I have heard this quite a few times about the Futura, through my business. It could also be a stabilizer problem, though. Sometimes if I don't have my stuff stabilized right, especially on t-shirts, the shirt shifts a little and everything is off. If you're embroidering on t-shirts, you almost have to use a sticky stabilizer or a sticky spray to keep it in place. I know a lot of people don't have an issue when they don't, but it's what works for me. If you're doing that and the design still gets off when you take the hoop off the machine, it's definitely the machine!

It works perfectly if I do not take the hoop off the machine!!! Oh well. Other than that is an okay machine, I guess. It has a 5x7 field so I shouldn't gripe much!!

I have that every once in a while. Everything gets all balled up underneath. I think I am the queen of changing out the bobbin in between the projects.

I would love for it to have a command that says... go to the upper right corner inbetween color changes. That would be awesome so it would get the needle out of the way so I can clip around the fabric after the tack down but before the satin stitch. If this machine has one I don't know how to do it. Yep, its a touchy machine and futie has heard enough $#(*&@ words from me lately.
Sorry about the troubles... Hey, have you ever tried to emb on a fabric or stablizer and cut it out and then sew it to the shirt? Hmmm... I may have to try this myself. it would eliminate the tshirt abuse and help with the "itchy" stuff on the inside.

I took the day off to tear the house up so I can't try it today but maybe this weekend...

That command would be awsome! I just had to vent a little. My husband has no clue why I yelling at this machine all the time. I knew at least someone on here would understand.
I would do that but I am putting names underneath the designs right now and I am not sure that would look right. I will try it when I am just putting designs on a shirt.

Here is the Stitch Fabric. It's not very good quality, but I had to buy it as Stitch is my niece's favorite. She began loving him after our trip to DL. So far, nobody (in my family) knows I have this fabric. I'm going to try not to say anything until I have finished making something.

Cute!!!

Can you guys recommend a pair of scissors that I could use to trim my appliques. Those little tight spaces are driving me to drink.
I saw some springy ones but I am not sure how they work.
What do you guys use?
thanks!!

I am a cheapy and bought little westcott curved ones from Wallyworld. They have a gray handle and a sharp pointed tip. They have worked well for me. However, I have asked for some Ghingers for Christmas.

Two questions: How did you make those flowers and what is being picked to go on the Liberty Belle?

awesome ticker!

Adorable outfits! So cute! Where did you find the apron tutorial online?

Thank you. The apron is from: http://www.skiptomylou.org/2009/08/05/childs-apron-tutorial/ My little girl is only 17 months so I shrunk the pattern down to 70% I think, but other wise everything is the same. Very quick!

Love all of them but this is my favorite!

Thank you! I wanted something similar, but not exactly like her jolly holiday dress.

All your outfits look so very nice. I love the bowling shirt also.

Thanks! I know if I ever have a boy I will definitely be using the bowling shirt!

Beautiful!!!

Thanks!!

I love these!! I think my favorite is the Chef Mickey's out fit but WOW....they are all cute!! You did a great job.

Thank you! I hope it looks nice on...I think the top may be a little short, but she'll be adorable no matter what!

Love all of these- but the TIana is hands down my fave!

Thank you! I just happened to have this green fabric for another outfit I never made. It worked perfectly for this!

Everything is gorgeous! I cant decide what I like the best. I was working on hair bows and headbands today but still have two shirts to finish (one is almost done though).

Thank you! We can do it! I hope to work on bows toomorrow night as I am beat tonight! Then I need to pack on Friday! I am so ready to go and so not ready to go if you know what I mean!

Very cute outfits!

Thank you!

Two questions: How did you make those flowers and what is being picked to go on the Liberty Belle?

Sounds good! The shirt was really easy. It's just a waist length Simply Sweet. I drew the leaves by hand.
The flower is from this tutorial: http://sewritzytitzy.blogspot.com/2008/11/from-annas-gardenfabric-flower-tutorial.html It goes together really easily. They do a Princess and the Frog show on the Liberty Boat throughout the day and I think they pick people to go on the boat. I am pretty sure it runs through January at least.

I know I said no more updates, but this one is sewing related. I promise!

Kristy (mom) is about to undergo her back surgery. I am going to make her a lap robe (quilt) to use during her recovery. I have never made a lap robe and I am not sure of the dimensions.

Does anyone know what the dimensions should be? It is going to be a cheery red and black with Lady Bugs... she and my daughter were in the same sorority and their mascot was lady bugs.

I want to do an encouragement quilt later. Everyone will write their words of encouragement on squares and we will use those to make a quilt (see...the autograph quilt comes in handy for other things too!) But right now I want to make something quick and uplifting.

Suggestions? Ideas?

Thanks...

Nini

 

[minnie2]

Froggy33, Those outfits are darling! Have fun! WE didn't do the Liberty belle when we went but we watched the little show and heard it a few more times it was super cute! Now I wis we did it. Of course my dd NOW tells e the same thing! Oh well!

Nini that lap quilt is a great idea! Sorry I don't have dimensions for you but personally I would do it the size of a throw blanket and she can tuck it around her and use it once she is all healed. Please keep us posted on how her surgery goes.

I think this is a wonderful idea! Both the lap blanket and the encouragement quilt. Wonderful and thoughtful! I'm a nurse, so I actually am thinking that I've seen lots of pts with lap blankets that aren't quite big enough. Sometimes it's nice if the have one that can unfold so they can get their upper body covered too, and tuck it under their feet and bottoms to be "snug" Not much help....but an idea I guess.

 

[NiniMorris]

I've seen some lap robes online...they are kind of made like an apron...I'm really thinking more of a rectangle or square shape... she is not yet ready to accept that she will not walk again. I want her to be able to use it later for something else...

I'm thinking maybe the size to go on the back of a sofa...Would that be too big for a wheelchair? I will use soft cotton batting and flannel for the backing. Hopefully this will give it a soft drape and no bulk.

The only experience I have personally had with a wheelchair was my then 3 year old was in one for 6 months...and it was summer...in Georgia...no NEED for anything to keep you warm!

I'm getting my drafting paper out to see what I can come up with.


By the way...on the Kindell cover that I made for my daughter's birthday. She loved it...warts and all. However, when she saw the link to the pattern that was shown here...well, now she wants that one too! And of course, my DIL wants a Kindell so she can have the cover too...my son is not happy with me...he has already bought her Christmas Present this year...and thats not it!

Thank you for these! I've been looking for a flower tute everywhere I can think of, and this one is perfect! Have a great trip!

Great job on the Kindell cover; as far as the lap quilt, I think a rectangle would be great! it could be doubled over and tucked around her, or cover her up to her shoulders if she was cold. One of the problems that is common after spinal injuries is difficulty with temperature regulation, so having that flexibility would be great; plus, she's still her; whether she can walk or not, and someday she may want the quilt draped over the sofa, and this way it doesn't look too "medical." Just a warm, homey, gift from the heart. That happens to also be useful. Continuing to pray for them.

Do what I did....my dd saw her stepsisters Vida being appliqued and I told her I was making a wall hanging for Aunt b/c her Aunt just loves the stepsisters. She bought it hook, line and sinker. She also saw an appliqued shirt for MVMCP and I told her it was for her brother (yeah, like he'd wear a purple shirt!).

I wish I could...she is 7.5 and very perceptive, plus the only other kids I have to sew for are 8 & 6 yr old boys and I don't think I can convince her that either of them want a Princess Tiana Vida LOL

Great stuff. Excellent take on the Princess Tiana and what an original Mary Poppins outfit.
