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

[MinnieVanMom]

We just returned yesterday but I don't have all of my pictures uploaded so I will just start with day one and two....more to follow..
These are the customs I made for our dinner on the first night @ Chef Mickey's.

Our first day in the park was "Peter Pan and Tinkerbell day". I not only made customs for the granddaughters but also for my daughter and son-in-law. He was teased all day but they had a good time. Cinderella's stepsister even asked him "who made you wear that?" (excuse the shadowy pictures)

My youngest Granddaughter is named Wendy so these overalls were appropriate for her..the back said "you can fly" (the picture didn't show all the words)

And Mia wore Tinkerbell...I didn't even get a picture of the back but it had a picture of Peter Pan on the back

You folks look super, love the customs.

I know some of you here just love sock monkeys- target has in the adult pajama section a bunch of sock monkey sleepers complete with sock monkey feet.
:.

Thanks for the warning!!!!

Wow! I can't believe someone didn't dress their kid as a sock monkey for Halloween. This was an oppurtunity missed.

I should amke a quilt quilt in honor of the revered sock monkey and it should be a gift for our Teresa! I know she'd just wrap that baby around her and snuggle with it in those freezing Michigan winter nights that's coming up.

What do you think teresa? Care to snuggle up with a sock monkey?



Oh ??! Sock monkey jammies huh?? That'd be WAY easier then makin a quilt! And MUCH snugglier too! They'd even cover your little tootsies teresa!

LOVE that Ralphie movie- it's a classic!!

And here I thought you loved me!

Crysal, the outfit looks great! I knew who it was right away! Jenna looks so adorable!

I think most of you saw my pictures of the Bo Peep costume I made on Facebook, but here it is in case you missed it.
I hope I don't get thrown out for making the non disney version.
Hannah and I both love how it came out. I wasn't thrilled with the smocking, but didn't have time to rip it out and fix it. Her skin tone and dress colors are too light so they kinda blend in. I was very pleased that everyone knew who she was when we went trick or treating. Oh and I have to mention.. this pink fabric is so yummy! It is a swiss voille something. I love it. It is so soft.

That turned out so pretty Kira!!! Your smocking is beautiful!

So cute!!! I need a bigger picture though!

Here are a few customs I did for our September Disney trip. Let me know what you think.

Dawn

These are all really cute!!! Your boys are simply adorable!

http://s3.excoboard.com/exco/thread.php?forumid=68662&threadid=682626

please??? please please????

Crazy day here today. I need a vacation! Yesterday Marissa came home from spending the night at a friends house all in tears because some idiot hit (hit and run!) her parked car overnight and left a dent in her driver side, and she can't open her door. Good thing she's small and agile because she has to get in the passenger side until we can get it fixed...I called it in first thing this morning, and I'm still waiting to hear back on that. It's the first claim we've had to make on a car in over 10 years.

We've been having trouble with Savannah (your typical middle child!) and schoolwork. Her science teacher yelled at me because she's not doing her homework...well she is doing it, but not turning it in for some reason. She's struggling in other classes too, and I keep getting the run around from the school...it's already time for report cards, and they've changed 3 of her teachers again in the past week. We decided it was time to try something different, so today we had an interview with a private school, where she'll start tomorrow. I spent the afternoon chasing after uniforms and withdrawing her from public school. I did get lucky on the uniforms, the local store that used to carry them before the school went to another company had the shorts on clearance. The price tag said 50% off, and I was happy with that. When I got to the register they were marked down again, and the total cost was $2.40. Needless to say I bought 3 pairs! Then it was off to get more school supplies.

Congrats on the sale for the uniforms, and a good school is worth everything.

Ok.. here is so more Disney customs from our trip... I'll get them all posted someday... hahaha

Jessica did the appliques for me, but I did the actual construction of the outfits...
So sad that they wore them for a day only... we will not get a chance to wear them again.

Lori, that is just too cute. Looks like you had a great time.

Just finished this outfit for the Big Give for a baby -

Wendy, that is adorable, did you use your embroidery machine?

Here are some pictures from tonight's Zoo Boo. We were lucky that it got rained out on Thursday and Friday of last week, so they did it again tonight to make up for it. That worked out for us, since Jenna only got to do 30 mins worth of Trick or Treating on Saturday night. Anyways, Jenna wanted to be Tinkerbell from the new movie. It took me a couple of days to get it done due to all of the pieces that she has one.

Here she is with Cruela. Cruela is laughing because I told Jenna that she wouldn't hurt because she doesn't have any fur.

Here is the best pic I have of her wings.

Jenna was so proud of her costume. She was telling everyone who she was. Only one person knew exactly who she was.

It is obvious, she is tink. Super job Crystal

Here is a bit bigger photo of the boys in their costumes.

 

[Mom2SamandJames]

Wow! I just love all the beautiful customs and costumes everyone has been posting. I must admit I am always a bit intimidated to post my creations when I see everything you ladies make. Keep sending the photos.

Dawn

Oh, don't ever feel intimidated. We would love to see your creations. I am sure they are great. We all started somewhere. I for one have never had any formal training or help. I just bought an easy pattern years ago and taught myself. Please post your pictures.

 

[Granna4679]

I posted our Day 1 and 2 yesterday and I will try to continue with day 3 and 4 (and maybe get to the others shortly)....
On our 3rd full day @ the world, we went to the Animal Kingdom. I think these may have been my favorite outfits. Not sure if you can see from these pictures, but the band under bodice has Mickey faces with zebra print.

Day 4 was back to Magic Kingdom...Mia had BBB reservation that morning so she wore her Ariel costume that she picked out most of the day...these were first thing that morning before her reservation...

Day 5 was Akershus breakfast so they wore their princess dresses (Mia wore her Ariel and Wendy was Alice)...
EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T MAKE THESE...I WANTED TO SHARE THE PICTURES...

After the breakfast.....we changed them into Wall-E for the rest of the day in Epcot

I will try to get a few more uploaded to photobucket and post the last couple days.

 

[Granna4679]

Day 6 was our second day to go to Hollywood Studios. For this day, the girls wore JoJo (and thankfully we saw JoJo on this day) and Snow White.

Our last full day we started out with a CP breakfast to celebrate Wendy's birthday....I posted this dress a few weeks ago but will post again....

After breakfast, they changed into their Cinderella overalls. These were probably the hardest of all of them. As with all of the overalls (except Wall-E), all of the appliques are hand pieced and satin stitched (no embroidery machine yet, so I do it the old fashioned way still....I am saving up for one though).

(this is the best picture I got of the back of hers because her hair is so long and covered it all day ...but it says "Dreams Do Come True"
And just because Mia was so excited to ride the carousel and actually get on "Cindy's horse", I had to post this one!!!

That's a lot of pictures, sorry to overload. Believe it or not, they had a couple more customs each that they never wore but I am sure some lucky person on will benefit from them.

Thanks guys!!!


P.S- She sent pictures of some of the outfits they like too! I love it when they do that!​

 

[sweetstitches]

I think I've supressed all my embarassing moments because I don't remember them but your story does remind me of something that happened to me. A boy my age lived next door. We were good friends and I always had a crush on one or two of his friends. I was 15 or 16 and was wearing white pants. I had on underwear with little green frogs that did not show through. Until one of those boys threw me in the swimming pool. I will never forget the little green frog underwear.

ETA: sorry, I really messed up on the photo quotes!

Oh, that would be embarrassing!

Wow everyones halloween costumes are awesome!!
I hope our kids realize how lucky they are.
Here are my 3 little (OK not so little) darlings...
The evil witch

The not so scarey grim reaper...

And Hannah Montana (he was even wearing a stuffed bra which he took off after about an hour saying "I don't know how girls can wear these")

Great costumes. Hannah Montana--too funny!

Here is what I ended up hacking/making out of the dress shirts and pj pants for my pirate costume..

and here is d dress that i made 2 years ago, and let her wear for dress-up, she decided to wear it again this year, and since everything was either safety pinned or velcroed, it mostly fit

Next year she wants to be Belle. She thinks.
dh wants us to be dressed all together, think something like hotdog, fries, ketchup and mustard bottles. (oh dear)

Turned out great!

I didn't adopt you?? HOW DARE I!! Please accept my sincerest apologies

and....


would you reconsider being adopted by me again??

Of course; I hate being an orphan.

We just returned yesterday but I don't have all of my pictures uploaded so I will just start with day one and two....more to follow..
These are the customs I made for our dinner on the first night @ Chef Mickey's.

Our first day in the park was "Peter Pan and Tinkerbell day". I not only made customs for the granddaughters but also for my daughter and son-in-law. He was teased all day but they had a good time. Cinderella's stepsister even asked him "who made you wear that?" (excuse the shadowy pictures)

My youngest Granddaughter is named Wendy so these overalls were appropriate for her..the back said "you can fly" (the picture didn't show all the words)

And Mia wore Tinkerbell...I didn't even get a picture of the back but it had a picture of Peter Pan on the back

Our 2nd night we went to Ohana for dinner...these were the dresses I made for the girls for that night...

Our second full day was spent in Hollywood Studios. Mia's favorite movie is Fox and the Hound so I made these overalls for her...again, I didn't get a picture of the back but they had puppy paws and the words "we will always be friends" appliqued on them.

And Wendy wore her Winnie the Pooh capri overalls...

I hope I haven't put too many pictures. I will try to upload more tonight and post a few more days tomorrow. We were there 9 days so it is taking a while to get them all uploaded to photobucket.

Wow, just wow. That's a lot of work! I second that your SIL was a good sport. Everything is super cute, but the Fox & Hound dress is my favorite.

 

[Keurigirl]

I'm late posting these, but that means you get action shots! We went to Disney in Sept and these are the outfits I made my 2 year old. I got to reuse one of them for halloween, yay!

That is just gorgeous. The pumpkins were cute too.

Now I'm home for an hour, tonight is a quick dinner (Jay's working!) for the girls and then it's back on the road again to take Rebecca to gymnastics. I'm glad Marissa can drive herself to dance, even in her injured car. I probably won't get a chance to sit down and relax until the younger 2 go to bed. I can already hear that glass of wine calling my name, can't you?

Sorry about the car. I hope the school move will be the change she needs. My straight-A student stopped turning in homework (why oh why) for about a month or so before I pulled her out of ps. She was really unhappy there and I guess it was one of her ways of letting me know.

Ok.. here is so more Disney customs from our trip... I'll get them all posted someday... hahaha

Jessica did the appliques for me, but I did the actual construction of the outfits...
So sad that they wore them for a day only... we will not get a chance to wear them again.

Those are fabulous!

hi everyone, just sitting here on the couch with my poor little guy. he just got swabbed and he has THE FLU! so waiting for tamiflu for him, the pharmacist needs a couple of hours.everyone else needs it too. if you can we can use some prayers, he is pre asthmatic and we are going to put him on the nebulizer trying to prevent the whole lung issue, and we are trying to keep his sister away , because she is scheduled to have eye surgery next week and she cant be sick. oh and they are both supposed to be in a wedding SATURDAY!!!!

teresajoy-- here is my very embarrassing story, i was in 5th grade and assembly day and gym day happened to be on the same day. now back in 1980something you had to wear a dress for assembly. so i had this adorable pink sweater dress that i had to wear. my mother was very afraid i would give the boys a show in that dress so she told me to put some shorts underneath. the only shorts that i could find in the winter had a zebra pattern. so needless to say in a game of basketball (which by the way i was absolutely horrific at and still am) my skirt came up and the boy i thought was so cute saw my zebra shorts quickly and thought they were my undies. i was called zebra butt for quite a while. needless to say i avoid animal prints now.

Praying for your kids.

Why do so many of our embarrassing stories involve underwear? Or what looks like underwear?

You ladies will love this one...

As the facebook crew knows, my Asthma Diva Hannah had a really rough weekend. (We found out today she has H1N1)

So last night, she wants to curl up on mommy's lap and...get this...LOOK AT CUSTOMS!

She actually "designed" an outfit in her head from looking at some others- one that's totally hers that she wants for our trip.

See, when I say she's a diva, I mean it! Even with the flu she's thinking style!!

That is so sweet!

Just finished this outfit for the Big Give for a baby -

turned out cute!

Here are some pictures from tonight's Zoo Boo. We were lucky that it got rained out on Thursday and Friday of last week, so they did it again tonight to make up for it. That worked out for us, since Jenna only got to do 30 mins worth of Trick or Treating on Saturday night. Anyways, Jenna wanted to be Tinkerbell from the new movie.

I think you did an awesome job on her costume!

I think most of you saw my pictures of the Bo Peep costume I made on Facebook, but here it is in case you missed it.

Hannah and I both love how it came out. I wasn't thrilled with the smocking, but didn't have time to rip it out and fix it. Her skin tone and dress colors are too light so they kinda blend in. I was very pleased that everyone knew who she was when we went trick or treating. Oh and I have to mention.. this pink fabric is so yummy! It is a swiss voille something. I love it. It is so soft.

Adorable! I love the smocking!

I haven't posted any pictures of my creations, but I wanted to share my boys' Halloween costumes. They chose Dopey and Prince Charming. I hope you enjoy the photos.

They all turned out great!

Here are a few customs I did for our September Disney trip. Let me know what you think.

Again, everything is really great.

Did you attach the bottom of the skirt on the Cinderella dress? If you did, however did you sew it so close to the crotch of the pants? It looks amazing.

I also really LOVE the backside of your overalls! It adds so much to the outfits!

ALL right after a bit of a delay because I had to take my kitty, Prince Sweet Pea to the vet this morning (he got hit by a car, but he's fine!!! : ) I have go the newest

Glad your kitty is okay!

[HeatherSue]

Those are the PERFECT Imagination Mover outfits!! GREAT job!

Well............. it came home with me today!!It was pretty much the same price as the 750, with a rebate. So I brought it home!! I haven't had time to look at it. I'm in the process of getting ready for a craft show (my theme is cupcakes!!) and I don't want to mess up my plans with trying out a new machine. So now I'm going to have to look into selling my 180D. It's only a 4X4, but a great beginner machine.

I can just imagine what I can make with this new machine!

Sally

:Insert 3 dancing bananas here because I was over the 25 picture limit: YAY!!!! Congrats on the new machine!

Just because they are so stinkin' cute and likewise because I got tons of compliments on the costumes (especially the train) here's another photo of my babes (and excuse the sweat on ds; it was unseasonably warm here today ~ 78 degrees when we starting trick or treating -- normally on Halloween it's in the low 60's):

Brag, brag, brag! LOL! The kids looked adorable!

Seriously adorable. If they showed up at my house I'd just dump all my candy into their bags and call it a night- there wouldn't be anyone cuter!!!

You are so sweet! Thank you!

Wow, these are great! I think they'd look adorable at Disney, too!

Well it was a fantastic day! Yep!
I actually made it up till 9:30..lol... I seem to rise early and go to bed early these days.. I am sure it is the baby's doing!lol..
Anyways..Jojo is now 6! Where did the time go!
here are some pics of the Costumes and Cake!!!


Lori

How did I not know you were pregnant??? I feel so out of the loop!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

What a great looking bunch of kids!

Aloha! I'm Melinda, and I have been lurking your thread (on and off) since about February of last year. You all have been a great inspiration to me! I did not sew at that point - but I bought a brother sewing/embroidery machine off of HSN and did not look back. Our first family trip to WDW was in September, and while I did not get the hang of it in time to make customs for that trip, I am on a roll now! Now that I actually have something to show you all, thought I would introduce myself and hang out here a little more. Here are my creations so far...

My first finished dress:

Look forward to getting to know you all better and getting some great tips and ideas!

Melinda!! I see you are from one of my favorite places (Hawaii is 2nd only to Disney in my book)! We're hoping to go to Kauai in May of next year, or thereabouts!

You did a wonderful job on the outfits!! I'm glad you decided to post some pictures and jump right in!

How cute are they? VERY!

My Dearest Teresa,

I hope that you have noticed my silence on the matter so lightly touched on by you in the above quote. A crack has developed in my heart for you as I read of the insensitive comments made by some people on this thread. Please know my friend, that I did not, have not, nor will I ever laugh at your expense, or expose you to such cruelty, but, instead, support you from the bottom of my heart.

Always remember Teresa- I am here for you!

Lots of hugs,
Karen

You are so funny, my dear! I've missed you around these parts!

She looks so pretty! He looks...um....yeah...

I never thought anyone would look gorgeous with "dead" makeup and stitches and such. But, Jayden looks beautiful! WOW! I love her costume- it looks JUST like the Disneyland character!! Lily is looking adorable as usual, I love her Minnie dress! Seth and Luke look great in their store-bought costumes, too!

What great costumes! I loved the flappers, too!

So this was a LONG time ago. Sarah (Kadie's mom) was still in elementary school! So DH drops me off at work and I walk into the atrium we had where I worked and headed to the elevators. Since DH dropped me off, I was early to work. As I am walking to the elevator, I slip in a puddle of water and actually fall on my bum... (see, it involves the same body part!). I jumped up, picked up everything, looking around to see if anyone saw. No one around, whew! BUT, I am missing a shoe. I start looking around but what can I do. Its no where to be found. People start coming and now everyone is looking around to find my shoe. It's no where to be found. Oh, and my bottom is wet, it was a good sized puddle that I sat in! I just can't stop laughing, but wondering what I am going to do. No car, its before cell phones, so no way to find DH to come pick me up to go find shoes until he is all the way to work. Everyone is stumped, what the heck happened to my shoe??? Then..... the elevator comes down and opens up and what is sitting in the middle of the elevator??? My shoe???? Now I really can't stop laughing. Through out the day, people would come ask me about my shoe! Someone even drew a picture of my shoe with the elevator saying "come here my little pretty"!

So I walked around in torn pantyhose all day (I said it was a long time ago) and everyone knew what happened. Now this might be one of those times that you had to be there to think it was funny. But to this day, its still at the top of my list of funny things that have happened to me!

That's a good one!!

That turned out really nice! I love it! I don't know if Tessa would know it was Fancy Nancy because she doesn't wear that outfit in any of the Fancy Nancy books that we own! But, she does in some of the library books we've gotten. So, I'd know who she was!

Hi all! I have not been around in a while because I have decided to stay sick forever!!!!

I love all of your costumes! They look great!

Wanted to share my babies too...

The force was strong in my house this year for sure!

ETA - in case you can't tell...Timmy is a Jawa...(Luke bought the droids from the Jawa's)...Patrick is Luke and Katie is Leia

 

[HeatherSue]

Here's some Mic-Flakes I'm stitching up for our trip too. Courtesy of the Fabulous HeatherSue!!

Thank you for whomever paid homage to the machine gods, it must have did the trick because my machine seems to have settled in to being home from the doctor. The trimmer isn't making the funny noise anymore (whew!) I was not about to drive the two hour round drive again before our trip. WE LEAVE THURSDAY!!!!

Those snowflakes are looking so pretty grouped together like that!

Those are such fantastic costumes! I especially love the little prince!! How cute!!

Daniela! HI! Those pants turned out great! Easy fits are the BEST!

I LOVE these! Heather, you are such an awesome designer!

Thank you!! One of my customers actually drew those snowflakes for me. Cool huh?

I love those snowflakes!!! I need to make something with those! (I get a REALLY good discount on the designs! )

Do they call that a five finger discount if you don't actually steal them?

Hugs are always good and always make me feel better. Things will get better because right now they can't get much worse! I'll be ok though. I always land on my feet!

Heather- I LOVE THOSE SNOW FLAKES TOO!!! You are so talented lady!

Thank you!

Would I be a horrid parent if I dressed the boys as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum to eat with Alice and the Mad Hatter?

That would be SOOO cute!!! You should totally do it! Tom and his wife went to MNNSHP one year as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum and Leighanna was Alice! It looked great!

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a week or so now. I was planning on waiting to introduce myself until I had pictures to share but I can't find the camera cord, so don't know when my little Snow White will have pictures online.

I've been quilting on and off for a few years, make a purse or two, but swore I couldn't sew from a pattern to save my life. My mom had major back surgery over the summer and wasn't up to sewing a costume and after looking at the chintzy material of the store bought costumes, I decided to tackle it (with the help of my mom with interpreting directions ).

It was so successful in fact, that I decided to make my niece a matching dress for our March trip to WDW so she and DD can match. Now on to the real reason for my post, lol. I was looking at the clearance fabric at JoAnn's today and came across smocked Disney fabric. The top is smocked and stretchy and the bottom is already gathered appropriately for a dress. Really it's just sewing one seam and some straps. They had Tink and Princess fabric at my store. It was still $8/yd (down from $17) but I still couldn't beat $4 and $6 per dress. It's super cute, just wanted to give everyone a heads up!

I can't wait to get started on my next project! I'll post pics as soon as I find my camera cord and finish the new dresses Looking forward to joining all of you talented folks. Seriously, the stuff you make is amazing. I think my jaw hit the floor when I saw the velvet Snow White dress (which is how I found this group in the first place).

!!! I can't wait to see some of your pictures!

I went to a small, Catholic h.s., and the boys and girls shared a locker room (not at the same time, obviously.) When I was a freshman, I was painfully shy and I HATED getting dressed for gym in the locker room, so I always tried to get there ASAP so that it would be mostly empty while I changed. Well, I got there too early one day, before the teacher. As I was standing in the corner, in my bra and underwear (with little hearts) in walks an junior guy who forgot something in his locker (which of course was RIGHT next to where I was standing.) I was cornered, literally. He took his sweet time getting his locker open and his stuff out. I was mortified. I know I should have reported it, but I was so embarrassed. I was more embarrassed about the heart underwear than being almost naked.

That is mortifying! You poor thing!

1. Fortunately my dog only barfs up socks on my carpet.

2. I think I've supressed all my embarassing moments because I don't remember them but your story does remind me of something that happened to me. A boy my age lived next door. We were good friends and I always had a crush on one or two of his friends. I was 15 or 16 and was wearing white pants. I had on underwear with little green frogs that did not show through. Until one of those boys threw me in the swimming pool. I will never forget the little green frog underwear.

1. And to think you don't have a tag yet! Funniest line ever!!

2. How embarrassing!! But, it sounds like cute underwear!
