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

[HeatherSue]

I have you to thank for the applique. I could have never even attempting anything like it without your tutorial. When I did my Jasmine applique I messed something up though and one of her arms is way too skinny. Am I allowed to blame you for that? I sadly didn't notice it until I had stitched around way too many other things on the applique and I surely don't have time to redo it.

I suppose since you gave me credit, you can blame me for that wonky arm, too.

LOL, I'd had the idea to make Mickey gingerbread but yours obviously inspired me. When I was looking for images, there wasn't anything that was quite "right" so I just adapted yours a bit to make it easier for me. I think it's pretty obvious from some of my wonky lines that I don't have a machine capable of embroidery, lol!

I thought I'd be able to find a Gingerbread Mickey/Minnie image, but I couldn't find one. So, I drew them myself. I'm glad you liked them! I thought the lines on yours looked good!

We are going to St. Johns, USVI over Thanksgiving. It's going to be a 4 day whorl wind trip! My mother-in-law is taking all her kids down. We are staying in an amazing rental house! I am really excited, except it will be the very first time I am away from my daughter (16 months)!! I truly would be okay with not going. I know she will be safe (my folks are staying with her) and that I will probably enjoy the peace, but I am pretty sad about it!
Okay, enough sounding like an ungrateful person! I am going to paradise! Maybe I'll see Kenny Chesney!

That sounds lovely! I'm sure you're going to miss your daughter. But, try to have fun with it! Easier said than done, I know.

Love the designs Heather, but does anyone else notice that it looks like Mickey had a little accident in his shorts? (Just the placement of the mickey head fabric, I know, but it is still )

Honestly, I did notice that! A very unfortunate placement of that fabric!

I haven't been here in a while some of you might remember me. My two year old Ora Grace (AKA. Gracie Lou Lou ) is having surgery Monday to get her tonsils removed. She has Strep throat constantly from October to March. Well, I am making her two hospital gowns since she has to spend the night in the hospital because of her age. I am making a Fancy Nancy one and one from the story book fabric. Wendy sent me some earlier this year because I couldn't find any over here. I am going to post pictures when I can. I also made a portrait pessant in Minnie dot for Disney on ice tomorrow night. I can't believe how easy that pattern was. I was afraid I would have trouble with it but it was super easy. I love Carla's patterns. I got the hospital gown pattern free online. Has anyone else made one? I was just wondering if you have any tips before I start. I am planning on using snaps on the shoulders instead of velcro like the pattern calls for . I was thinking that the gown along with plenty of popsicles will cheer her up. She can also play with it when she plays with her doctor kit. You can never have to many dress up options for little girls , you know.

I remember you! back! I'm sorry Gracie needs surgery. I'll pray that she recovers quickly.

I love this! I really like the way she appliqued Minnie on the top! And the peek-a-boo skirt. I just got done doing one of these and they turn out so cute!!


Everything is so cute! I can't believe you made that last minute!! Our trips are SOOOO close!! Can you believe it! Are you finishing everything up!?


Thank you! The feliz really flows. We're all going to be wearing white, tan, or black for the beach pics...so hopefully they turn out nice!

The appliques do take a while (as I am sure your Winnie the Pooh one did). The Minnie/Mickey did take a while, but I am getting pretty fast. I just finished 4 pretty involved appliques that I will hopefully post later this evening!
I wanted the Epcot one to look kind of like a German dress with a tied top. It was one of the easier dresses to make, but gets so many compliments!

I'll keep an eye out for your group while we're there! It's coming up fast!!



Thanks!! I really didn't do a lot of Christmas ones. Actually the only one is for MVMCP. I do have a satin one (non Disney) with a great hooded capulet(sp??) that I made for a wedding last December (when my DD was 6 months!!) that still fits! I might bring it just in case for Santa.

No, I CAN'T believe how fast it's coming up lol! I'm in a bit of a panic trying to finish everything, plus now it looks like my DH won't be going since he was offered a very lucrative job opportunity that starts Dec 1 (another reason I'm stressed out).

Poor baby, I hope the surgery goes well for her! I'll bet she's going to be much happier in her own custom gowns vs those flimsy icky things that the hospital gives you.

Well I just did a wrap-top dress for a cousin that is a belated birthday present. She is a huge Scooby-Doo fan.

Now on to something else......

Cute!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I'm falling behind again but I did scroll through a bit and WOW! Some gorgeous stuff everyone! I hate getting behind! I hate lumping everyone together, but sometimes I must! I did a lot of "oooh" and "aaahhh"-ing scrolling through photos!

I am right there with ya! I try to come by each day but I just look and forget to say how nice everything is.

I just love that pattern. I plan to do it for my size in June. Great job.

I hope all goes well for the surgery and she is feeling better soon.

Here comes a shameless brag. Some of you know this from fb, but my 14-year-old left at 4:30 this morning to fly to Kansas City for the National Catholic Youth Conference. She is one of 25 kids who will be the pit choir for the ENTIRE event, everything from opening ceremonies to closing mass, and will be singing in front of 25,000 kids! I'm really proud of her.

It was still hard to send her off though. She hasn't been nervous at all (at least not yet) but I'm a nervous wreck for her!

You have bragging rights! that is wonderful Mary Ann!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Well, I finally had a couple of hours to look this poor baby over. It was threaded right..it seems I needed to oil it!!! It was rubbing strange and straining. This was causing the thread to break, but was still being pulled from the spool, so it looked like the thread had just mysteriously came out of the lower looper.... Now that I know what was wrong, it makes so much sense!
Nini

Nini, Glad you got it fixed. It took my a fishing box thing from the garage and use it for an organizer of little machine things. Then I have plastic bins for ribbons, elastic, etc. A dresser for patterns and all my fabric on the cardboard things from the fabric store. It is hard to stay organized.

This is an outfit for Magic Kingdom: (patchwork skirt and CarlaC's raglan)

A simply sweet for Epcot and Biergarten. I was going for a "German" look. The applique says "It's a small world" I CASED ideas from another dress I saw on here quite a while ago.

Dress for MVMCP. I modified CarlaC's a-line top and totally guessed on how to make a skirt similar to the one LisZoe has shown on here.

A simply sweet with patchwork skirt. I used Jham's idea for the patches, making each rows 1.5X the size of the previous. Makes it really easy to gather by hand!!

And, finally, not Disney, but CarlaC!! I made her portrait peasant dress and added a sash for a wedding we went to. I also made the petti for underneath it (I'll use it at Disney too). It needs to be shortened a bit, so that goes on the list.

Wow, your work is amazing and super job. You have been very very busy!

Wendy, because you are my dear friend and I won't lie to you. It does look a bit weird. But this comes from the mom who makes Mickey with a tinker bell outfit on. Don't listen to me and I hope you find a way to make it the way you want it.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

While I am at it, I think I will try and post a picture of the infamous Tree Skirt. It didn't come out exactly like I wanted it, but they were happy with it!

OK...back to sewing!

Nini

Nini, that is just so pretty the trees skirt and I love your quilt.

Question for those of you that make pj's from the easy fit pants. What pattern do you use for the top? I'm going to make the girls some Christmas pj's (when we get back from Disney) and wondered what you used for the top. TIA.

Thanks Andrea for dropping the shirt off today. I can see the light at the end of the sewing tunnel. I didn't get to do all the skirts I wanted but the girls love everything I've done so far. I promise pictures when we get back. I've started packing what I finished so no pre-pictures. Only 2 more sleeps as my daughter says!

I love this dress style! Is it a pattern on YCMT? Your fabrics look really nice together. Great job!

I'll be honest, I cheat. I use a store bought tshirt.
On this one, I just embroidered a frog to match the pants onto a Walmart shirt.

 

[lori123]

I buy plain T's on sale at Michaels or JoAnn - (usually around $2 each when they are on sale - and then I stock up) Sometimes I just have them use them plain - and sometimes I will applique, sew some of the fabric on them or use and iron on patch!

This is my first time posting in this thread. I have been lurking for about a moth or so though.You all do beautiful work. I sew but nothng like the rest of you. The appliques are just gorgeous. Maybe someday I will attempt to be so creative.
You all have been an inspiration and have got me hooked on YCMT.com

I wanted to share some things that I have finished.
This was suppose to be my DGD's Halloween costume but it rained here so I wouldn't let her wear it. We will be going to Park Fare for dinner during our trip so I plan on letting her wear it then.

I wanted to make gloves but could not find a pattern that worked and my attempts of making my own failed so I decided to just make these.

I think she'll wear this is Hoop Dee Doo.

I just read on the budget board that Joann's and Michaels have the BF ads up. Also I think the circuit cutter is on going to be on sale at Wally world.

Great Cindy dress! your 'gloves" turned out just fine too.

Oh no!! That's good about the opportunity, but no fun that he won't be able to go! You will have extended family along though, right? That will at least help! I understand the hurry! I work all day, then spend the evening with my daughter, so I don't get to sew until about 8pm. That means late nights!! I did play hooky from work on Monday to sew!!! It was lovely!

Wow, your work is amazing and super job. You have been very very busy!

Thank you! I have been busy and will be up until the day we leave I am sure!

So cute!! Love the other stuff too. The easy fits are adorable!! Ycmt.com is addicting!!

Hey all. My little one has curly hair, but it doesn't always curl on it's own. If I get it a little wet and hand curl it it does...otherwise it's a little kinky/frizzy. Do any of you use anything special? Like a special spritz product? I'd like something easy to carry around so I can fix her hair when needed.
Thanks!!

 

[TinkerbelleMom]

Now I just wish I had my own baby to make bubbles for. *sigh*

You're echoing my thoughts exactly! This looks like a great pattern, I'm probably going to add it to my collection even though my baby is 4! My girls always wore bubbles, I had 2 different ones for smocking...they still looked pretty and dressy, but didn't get stuck crawling around like they did in dresses.
