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

[tricia]

Sadly, I still haven't posted pics of my halloween outfits because my DH put them on his computer, but I have pics of a christmas outfit I did this week. The girls had their pics taken at a photography studio today where they did a christmas baking set with the girls decorating cookies and things wearing these outfits and some chef hats. It was super cute! I am going to use those pics for my Christmas cards this year.
The front:

The pants:

those are really cute. I love how you did the Candy Canes.

These are what dds wore (when they had customs on)

Emily

I love how the K in Tink looks like wings!!

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

those are really cute. I love how you did the Candy Canes.

Thanks! It made doing the candy canes pretty easy and fast. My DD's looks crooked on her pants though because her pants are a little too long but I promise it isn't.

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

I finally have all the main materials for the girls 3 feliz dresses for Christmas- A. Henry "Santa's Bag" for Evie age 2
A. Henry "Baby Cakes" in green for Joci age 4
FabricTraditons from WalMart - blue background with the sparkly candy canes & ribbon candies on it - Juliet age 6

I was thinking plain colored portrait peasants under the feliz would looked good. Has anyone put one under a feliz?

 

[Granna4679]

Jessica....I got the hint! Be ready for way too many pictures though! Jessica also made the matching tees for my hubby and I! Make her show you pictures of them too. While not Daisy....they are adorable! Especially for the Epcot Flower and Garden festival!!

Absolutely adorable....I love this dress! Have you or anyone used this pattern and put a long sleeve shirt under it? Just wondering how it would look for the cooler weather coming up? Anyone have any pictures with a long sleeve under it? I would love to do winter prints but not sure if it would look good.

How bout just putting it on a short sleeve shirt, but layering that over a long sleeve shirt if it's cold? I've been to Disney in December and January, and you never know what you'll get til you're there!

 

[princesskayla]

Quick question- What is the size of pants you use for 3t and 4t in Carla's Easy Fit pants? I have only done the biggest and smallest. Does anyone know the standard length and waist of those sizes??

 

[Camping Griswalds]

Quiet reflection, huh?

The pattern is for XXS- 3X! I'm so excited about this pattern!

Yes she was quietly reflecting on how to murder us I'm fairly sure



and I do fit somewhere in between the XXS and the 3X! nice to know!

These are what dds wore (when they had customs on)

I didn't see too many customs when we were there either.

Emily

I definately did not see you. I would have remembered !!!

 

[birdie757]

Here is one I made for the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot. It is much cuter on! I have another that I just need to sew up the jeans too. I also have done a birthday shirt Daisy and an AK one.

Thank you so much for reposting that photo! I still can't decide what I am going to do but I only have tomorrow to do it. I might just end up with a simple embroidered top and a tiered skirt. We will have to see how the packing and cleaning goes.

 

[busy mommy]

Adorable. I love to see the customs you make, and your girls are just precious.

 

[sahm1000]

Here is another that has Daisy on it.

Mickey and Pluto are on the sides too. Just kind of hard to see in the above picture.

Oh, found a better one. I made two so flipped where the characters were on each dress.

So cute Jessica! I love the criss-cross dress with the Big 6! I want to make a dress with all of them on it but I can't decide what to do for the bodice portion. I like the criss-cross option for the top though! And I have that pattern so if I may, I might CASE your idea for it (as long as it's okay with you - but my fabrics will be different).

I try hard to keep up with this thread, but sadly..I am behind again! Anyway, this is the latest projects that I have been working on...some of you may have seen this on my facebook page..but here is a disney princess cuties outfit that I completed yesterday - designs from our very own Heathersue!

Front:

Back:

Close up of the machine applique:

Today is also the 50th day of school for my Kirsten. All the 1st graders were asked to dress in the 50s attire.

I bought the poodle design from swakembroidery (thanks to Sue, who shared with me where she got hers!)

Here are some pictures that I took this morning before school:

DS didn't want to be left out of the pictures:

LOVE your poodle skirt Jenny! She looks so cute in it, it's perfect!

Sadly, I still haven't posted pics of my halloween outfits because my DH put them on his computer, but I have pics of a christmas outfit I did this week.

The front:

The pants:

The hairbows (which weren't seen because of the chef hats) They have a candy cane button in the middle which are hard to see because of all the ribbon:

Both of my girls:

And just cause I thought this was cute :

Now I need to work on thanksgiving outfits! I guess I am going backwards!

Very cute candy cane outfits! Great way to do the candy canes too! I bet your cards will turn out really cute!

Sorry! I was off sewing and didn't really check back in! Good think I didn't go a couple of days like I do sometimes!

I used the adorable criss cross top or dress from YCMT. The back is 4 pieces of elastic. I am a shirring failure! Just can't get it to work! I loved the elastic back.

It also looks much better on! Dallas did try it on for me (it was the first halter I ever made so I had to make sure it fit) and he was being funny but I'll spare you'll those pictures! Much cuter on 2 little princesses!

I did the appliques by hand. Goofy is always my least favorite to do but I can't imagine doing him on the machine. I have no patience for lots of little parts and lots of colors!!

Thanks for all the compliments ladies! I have a few more dresses I'll share soon! I am always a few months behind in sharing it seems.

I LOVE the candy cane outfits!! Too thoughtful!

ETA - I only used the bodice part of the pattern. The bottom I did based off of Carla's Simply Sweet!

Hurry and post your pictures, I cannot wait to see them!

I cannot figure out shirring either! But I've made that dress twice for each of my girls and I like using the elastic.




I think someone asked if that pattern could be used for an adult (the criss cross pattern I mean)? Actually I think it could since the directions/pattern aren't actual pieces just based off of measurements. You use your chest measurement to determine how big to make the squares where the straps are attached and a waist measurement for the elastic part, and the skirt you just make the length that you want. Just curious though...what type of "support" garment are you going to wear under it? That is the only thing that might cause problems for an adult.

Here is my favorite place we have stayed on a weekend getaway.
http://eurekaspringstreetopcottages.com/
Maui was definitely a better place to vacation, but this place was better for um.. other stuff. All of the stuff we did as far as site seeing and all that was better in Maui for sure though. I did not like our room though. I guess it is pretty bad that I am so worried about my mattress and my hot tub..
We are going back to the treetop cottages in January, and I am so excited about it.

You'll probably pass very very close to me on your way. It's sad that I've lived in AR most of my life & I've never been to Eureka Springs.

I know I've missed a TON of super cute stuff and I haven't posted anything I've made in forever. I seem to be sewing all the time, but it's all been gifts lately & I forget to take pics before I give them. Hopefully I'll have pics of a new dress for dd6 this week-end. I do have Halloween pics, but I haven't taken them off my camera yet.

Here comes a long multi quote

Aloha! I'm Melinda, and I have been lurking your thread (on and off) since about February of last year.

Melinda

Love your creations! Great Job and welcome!

Awesome job on the easy fits. I was going to suggest coasters, like this:



they are super simple.

Great looking dress. And that prince is just the cutest.

Love those coasters!

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!


Tiki Room Outfit - my very first time making my own applique!

Wonderful outfits... the Tiki Room one is my fav! Great idea!

Here is another that has Daisy on it.

Mickey and Pluto are on the sides too. Just kind of hard to see in the above picture.

Great dress. Love the fabric combos too!

I have to hide this pic from DD3! She would LOVE the princess dress!
and super cute poodle skirt!

Carla's blog says her adult version of Easy Fits will be out within the next week. I think I am going to make PJ bottoms for my brothers for Christmas.

Yahoooo!


Ok, that is only a handful of what I missed. I scanned for several pages before I started linking You all have been making amazing things!

This is my not really a trip report paragraph about our trip....
Hubby and I had a great time in WDW all by ourselves We participated in the Tower of Terror 13k and 5k races a few weekends ago. And had a great time. I walked the 5k and he ran the 13k.... needless to say he was hurting a bit the next day, it was his first race. But we spent the next day at Epcot and stumbled into Food and Wind fest! COOL! We have never been during it before and just ate our way around WS. Loved it! We rode a few rides in Epcot and I think I am done with the Orange version of Mission Space. We ate dinner at Kona Cafe and saw a lot of families all dressed up for the Halloween Party Then finished up at Epcot and went to the marketplace for sundaes and a lot of shopping. Boy it is easier to shop for the kids when they aren't there to distract you
Monday we spent a few hours at MK before we had to fly home. I only saw 2 customs and both were in transit.... at the monorail station etc, so it was hard to say hi or comment. But we had a wonderful time and we feel soo lucky we were able to do it.

So, now I NEED to get sewing for our DL/Thanksgiving trip. I want to make a new bag to take for myself as well as some outfits for DD3 for our meal at Airel's Grotto. Thank you everyone, for all the inspiration!

 

[sweetstitches]

Both of my girls:

Totally adorable, both the outfits and your girls!

These are what dds wore (when they had customs on)

I didn't see too many customs when we were there either.

Emily

Cute!!!

How bout just putting it on a short sleeve shirt, but layering that over a long sleeve shirt if it's cold? I've been to Disney in December and January, and you never know what you'll get til you're there!

That's what we did last December. It turned out unseasonably warm every day except the last, so we ended up being glad for those short sleeves.


Forgot to tell you all my news & drama.....


Yesterday after my mammogram I felt like treating myself so I stopped at my favorite fabric store. They are cutting the store in half. One of the employees told me that the rent was raised $10,000 a month and they couldn't afford that, so they are cutting the store in half.

I did manage to pick up some more fabric though. Like I need a new project when I have so many UFO's Oh well, I already washed today and I hope I actually get to sew this weekend.

Now for the drama...

Some of you know from fb that my 14-year-old dd has an admirer. He asked her to a hs football game about a month ago. Now we weren't going to let her date until 16, but have been thinking about making some exceptions under some strict guidelines. Since she's homeschooled, she doesn't have the same opportunities to go to football games, dances, etc. that she would have in ps. Anyway, she first told him yes, but then changed her mind because she liked him as a friend, but not a boyfriend. My DH was going to go to the game too, and just not sit with them. We live too far away, since we've moved, to make this convenient to just drop her off. However, we really like this boy (if there is such a thing as liking ANY boy interested in your dd) and we really like his family. We know them from church. Anyway, he let it go for about a month, just talking to her occasionally, and then asked her to a movie "just as friends." She agreed. They were supposed to go out about a week ago and something came up with his family....now they are supposed to go out next Friday (which was the first time we could make it work in our schedule.) Anyway, long story short, this morning he requested to fb friend ME. Freaked Rachel out BIG TIME. I told her I wouldn't do it if she didn't want me to, but either I'd have to tell him that she doesn't want me friending her friends or he would probably ask her why I wouldn't friend him. She's freaked out because there are a few photos of her on my page. She doesn't have any on her page. I'm sure that's probably why he requested it in the first place. Since I"m fb friends with his mom, he could see them anyway if he asked her. So Rachel ended up deciding it was better for me to say "yes" than to have to explain. Oh the dramas of raising teens.

I'm not caught up AT ALL, but I saw this tutorial for making flowery felt ponytail holders on the CRAFT blog and I thought they might be something that some of you here might want to make to compliment a beautiful custom outfit. I think they look pretty cute and in colors to coordinate with an outfit, they would be even cuter.

http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2009/11/how-to_flowery_felt_ponytail_h.html

I'm going to make one to go with the pink Minnie shirt I just finished! (No picture yet, it's in the washing machine getting rid of all of my washable sewing marker marks.)

Have a good day, all!

Cute! I'm going to try these for my DD's stocking.

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

First, thank you everyone for the compliments on the princess cuties outfit, and the 50s outfit. I got the idea from Sue's poodle outfit. I can't believe that out of the 6 first grade class, only about 8 girls dressed up in a 50s attire. She said the school nurse asked her when she went to see her for her asthma treatment if her mom bought her the outfit, and she proudly told her.."No, my mommy sewed it for me!"

Anyway, I am trying to catch up..

Hi... I'm more of a lurker here, but LOVE everything you gals (and guy) have been working on!

For those of you who have sergers, what do you have? I'm thinking of buying one for Christmas (well, it'd be a gift from DH). Is it possible to keep it under $300, or am I dreaming?

I'm really looking for finished seams and to have the ablility to do rolled hems... I can do that, right?

Any info is really appreciated!
TIA!
Monica

I had a Brother 1034D which broked, and I replaced it with the Brother 3034d.

Gorgeous outfits posted, as usual. Loving them all.

I am making a comforter set for my daughter and will post pics when I'm done, but it will probably take me several more days.

I bought a Brother 750D. I really like it, but have hardly used it. I am going to practice on some old towels and then do a monogrammed set for our friends as an anniversary present.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

I can't wait to see the comforter set.

Thank you. He is not moving very well today, but I guess that is to be expected when you weigh 7 pounds and get hit by a 2 ton SUV!

I am trying VERY VERY hard to not have hoop envy! You are not making it easy!!!
I must repeat...
4x4 is fine
4x4 is fine
4x4 is fine.....

Sorry about your kitty..hope he feels better soon!

Love the outfit and the colors!

Thanks for all of the compliments....I am sure I missed quoting someone who commented. I had so much fun creating them. I just ordered a Feliz pattern and some of CarlaC's patterns and can't wait to get started. I am hoping to make some for the girls for Christmas...we have a photo shoot on Dec 6 so I have to get my machine in the shop to be serviced and then get busy. Thanks again to everyone who complimented my outfits. It meant a lot to me coming from all of you VERY TALENTED ladies!!!!

Sorry I didn't quote your pictures, but all the outfits that you made are gorgeous!!

I

Maybe I did it right this time.I have to get off of here and go get ready. I have to take Gray to the doctor today. I am trying to get him off of one of his asthma medicines. I don't know if I have ever taken my kids to the doctor when they were well. This will be a new experience for us.

I love the Thanksgiving outfit. I have never seen that fabric.

Good luck at the doctor. My dd is on asthma medicine as well, and I am trying to wean her off them with no success at all.

I really can't post this anywhere else yet...the news media don't have it yet....and it is still developing.

They just found a 'grow house' practically next door to me! My husband is a police officer! There are 2 other police officers that live in our subdivision.

I always thought we lived in a quiet and safe neighborhood! I guess today, there is no such thing as a safe neighborhood. I am so upset I can barely type!

Nini

How scary! I am so sorry you have to go through that.

I'm not sure what is worse...all the police cars, GBI agents and the like...or all the news media...it is a SMALL neighborhood....an even smaller cul-de-sac! Those tv satellite turcks have t a l l masts!

You think they might be able to get one more in here?????




(and that is not even the worst thing that happened in our small town today. A three year old was mauled by a pit bull. He is not expected to make it! I think it is time to hibernate!)


nini

How horrible for the 3 year old! So sad.

WOW! Gorgeous and love how colorful the dresses are!

Love, love the pictures!!!! Looks like a great trip.

Carla's blog says her adult version of Easy Fits will be out within the next week. I think I am going to make PJ bottoms for my brothers for Christmas.

I can't wait!! I have been wanting to make myself PJ pants.

I'm a complete beginner here with very limited experience, but I want to learnall I can. Can you awesome ladies guide me in the right direction. What sites/blogs are good for beginners? I read alot of you talking about Carla's blog, but I have no idea how to get there (can someone post the link). I am also interested in doing appliques and monogramming. Any advice?

Thanks,
Melanie

Here's Carla's blog: http://scientificseamstress.blogspot.com/

Her patterns are just the best!

Yay on the fabric.... but I so do not look forward to those teenage years!

 

[abc123mom]

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...

My family was standing right in front of you in line when you took this picture! My Mom was commenting to me how cute the girls outfits were...I wondered if they may have been made by a Disboutiquer?? I thought about asking but thought you all might just look at me like I had three heads. We had an 8 am BBB apt for our two daughters that morning. The outfits were adorable and so are the girls!!

 

[letthewookiewin]

First, let me say that you all do such beautiful work. I mom taught me how to sew, cross stich, and crochet. I recently taught myself to knit. My mom gave me a love for beautiful fabric and I love to look at your creations. I have a question for you all. I did ask my mom, but I would like your opinions and advice as well.

We are currently planning a WDW trip for December 2010. I thought it would really cute to make matching scarves for us all, and hopefull I will have figured out to knit a cap by then. I would love to add a Mickey head with a Santa hat to the end of each scarf. If I appliqued it to a peice of material and then cut it out closely around the edge, could I easily hand sew it to the end of the scarf? My mom said it would work fine, but do y'all think that would be the best way to do this?

Oh you do have the years to come of more teenage drama. You are a super mom and I know you have a wonderful daughter. Hopefully her teen years will be ones to remember...in a good way.
