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

[MinnieVanMom]

AS most know our DS has autism which means life is different for us. For some unknown reason he really wanted a tinkerbell mickey shirt. I told him tink is a girl and mickey is boy, they don't mix. That just doesn't work with autism.

So with much help from digitalbydesign, we want to present you with TinkerMickey

This was the first applique on the new machine and I had a major problem when the screws on the large hoop didn't stay tight and the fabric slipped out! I did the last two colours by hand but I think it is hard to tell where.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

My new machine: Yes a week later and I finally have time to start to learn And I mean LEARN, wow things have changed so much from the older machines.

Mom with the first thing on the new machine. She did so good with her torn shoulder holding up her shirt.

I'm finally all caught up! I miss a few days and there are tons of pages! I love it!

What a beautiful witch, cute cat, sweet grim reaper, and handsome Hannah Montana! LOL!!!

We need a bigger picture, but I think the pirate costumes look great! What a cute Dorothy, too!

I can NOT believe he wore those!! That is hilarious!! What a great guy! I think your daughter looks kind of cute in her Tinkerbell overalls!

The Fox and the Hound overalls are my favorite! Just adorable!!! Teresa was right, that was my favorite record. My favorite lines were "And we'll always be friends forever, won't we? Yeah, forever" and "He fell to river below."

SOOO cute!! Both the outfit and your daughter!

That will do for an embarassing story!!! Ok, who is next??? Heather, I'm sure you have some, or do you want me to start telling them?????

Okay, I'll share an incredibly embarrassing moment, but wedge it into a multiquote in the hopes that no one will read it. When I was in 9th grade, we were doing "v" sit ups in gym class. Well...hmmm....how do I put this delicately....I may have passed a little gas. Then, I may have turned around and blamed it on the cute boy behind me. He was so sweet, he took the blame for me.

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.

Oh no!! It sounds like you'll be missing the wedding! This flu is contagious for at least a week, from what I understand!

Just remember to thank your mother for wearing shorts, otherwise he would have seen your undies!

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!!

I'm sorry Hannah has H1N1. The poor thing! I'll say a prayer for her that she gets better quickly. How sweet that she wants to look at customs!

That is so sweet and cute, Wendy!

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:


They also had Ralphie's Aunt Clara outfit (the bunny suit) for you christmas story fans.

DD needs a turkey dress she says and a friend has ordered two complete christmas outfits. Guess I am just going to force myself to go to the fabric store

Sock monkey FEET even?????

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!!

You know, Teresa may just get cold enough this winter to snuggle up with a sock monkey quilt!

Cute! I didn't realize they changed her outfit so much in the new movie!

SO pretty!

Here is a second photo of the boys and I as our favorite movie characters in Snow White.

You all look so cute in your costumes! I love the prince charming! You did a great job on the customs for Disney. What kind of print is that on the Goofy appliques?

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

BIG GIVE


up!!!!


I am SUPER EXCITED about this Give!!! They have three little girls who would all like to coordinate!!! How cool and fun is that!!!

This is for Stefanilyn's daughter, Bella. Who is cute as anything! Here is the link to her pre-trippie:

And here is her Give:

Thanks guys!!!


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

How come I didn't know about Prince Sweet Pea getting hit by a car????? He's okay?? I'm so glad!

I adore all of the outfits you made, but this one is my favorite because it's SO original!! I wondered if you ever finished that applique! I love it!

They all look so cute! I'm sorry you've been so sick!

That's definitely an original design! How sweet of her to digitize that for you!!

It looks like you have a really nice machine!! That turned out nice!

 

[GoofyG]

Ok I think I maybe close to a melt down mode. Is that possible? I'm going CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY, I love my kids but I'm tired right now!

I should say that the 3yr old has had NOOOOOOOOOOO NAP!!!!! UGH

 

[sweetstitches]

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

They look very cute. I wish my kids would still go with a theme.

I'm so glad you were able to salvage the design. For what it's worth, Nathan, my special kid, was looking over my shoulder when I scrolled past your message and said, "Mickey looks cool!" Then my 6-year-old asked why Mickey was wearing a dress.

My new machine: Yes a week later and I finally have time to start to learn And I mean LEARN, wow things have changed so much from the older machines.

Mom with the first thing on the new machine. She did so good with her torn shoulder holding up her shirt.

That looks cute! I'm impressed with how you are diving in and learning so much about your new machine! I REALLY need to find some time to play with mine.

It's exhausting when they are all little.

No such luck; hiding it.

Although sit-ups, so understandable. I'm SO glad we didn't have PE with the boys in 9th grade. I hated gym. My cousin was the gym teacher and I think she took it as a personal insult that I have absolutely no coordination or athletic ability at all. She harped on me all the time, which of course made me more self-conscious.

Just slipping in to add that my local quilt shop is selling kits to make baby quilts with the sock monkey flannel...

Heather Sue - We are thinking of going to Kauai at Christmastime! If my hubby's ship ever finalizes their leave, I can book our trip. We have never done Kauai and are excited to give it a try.

We love the Big Island! So cool with the active volcano! And Maui is fun, too, but I haven't been there in three years...

Each island is different and fun. Hope you get to go to Kauai soon!

 

[Mom2SamandJames]

HeatherSue,

I used a cheetah print I got at Hancock Fabrics here in Tuscaloosa. We only have Hancocks and Hobby Lobby here. The boys loved wearing their animal prints in the Animal Kingdom, and I found those cute safari hats at a small hardware store here for $3.99. My oldest, Samuel wore his all day except on rides. It was cute.

We've all been there! I hope they go to bed soon and you're able to sit back and relax!

Henry and I went to Kauai 7 years ago when I was pregnant with Tessa. It was absolutely wonderful!! We look back at it as one of the best times we've ever had! We also want to Oahu for a few days. There's a VAST difference between the two islands, as I'm sure you know! I'd love to see Maui and the big island, too.

I would direct you to my website, where I wrote all about our Hawaii trip. Alas, geocities has shut down and my website is gone forever .

Anyway, Henry's brother and his wife want to go to Kauai to celebrate their 10th anniversary and they want us to go with them (the whole family). We're still not sure when we're going to go. But, we'd like to rent a house again. Here's a link to the house we rented the last time we were there. *sigh* It was paradise:

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.

I couldn't bring myself to cut off any of the fabric. I have this pretty scallop edged swiss embroidery to put on the bottom. Maybe I'll do it when she grows a bit.

This costume is fantastic. I love it. Just precious!

 

[Granna4679]

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!

Pirates, arrr:

Minnie Dress:

Alice Dress:

Mickey Balloons: (didn't get the best photos of this one, though it was my favorite)

And chef Abby:

And for good measure, mama & daughter

Soooo cute! I love the Mickey balloons the best I think and Minnie is next but all of them are adorable.

 

[Granna4679]

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.[/QUOTE]


Thank you so much.

Love them all; the Wall-E is my favorite.



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!


The Cinderella applique is many smaller pieces of fabric. I completely opened up the crotch and leg seams and sewed on piece by piece taking into account how close it would be when I re-seamed the crotch so it wouldn't tuck under. I will try to take a closer picture and show you. Thank you for all of the compliments.

 

[Granna4679]

I'm finally all caught up! I miss a few days and there are tons of pages! I love it!




I can NOT believe he wore those!! That is hilarious!! What a great guy! I think your daughter looks kind of cute in her Tinkerbell overalls!

The Fox and the Hound overalls are my favorite! Just adorable!!! Teresa was right, that was my favorite record. My favorite lines were "And we'll always be friends forever, won't we? Yeah, forever" and "He fell to river below."

Thank you. He asked me months ago to make some for him. When I finally did them, I think he had changed his mind (or maybe he changed his mind WHEN he saw them)...but he wore them anyway!

 

[GoofyG]

Kids are asleep! The dogs have FINALLY stoped barking. UGH, about time~

I now have QUIET!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Peace to you and enjoy.

 

[TinkerbelleMom]

My new machine: Yes a week later and I finally have time to start to learn And I mean LEARN, wow things have changed so much from the older machines.

I hear you on that!!! I was shocked to learn the darn things thread themselves just by pushing a lever...what's up with that? I was thrilled that my new serger does, that's always a pita on the old machine, but a regular machine isn't that hard, right? But you can bet I never thread it the "old fashioned way" now.

 

[*Toadstool*]

How fun! Love the overalls for adults. I admit that I probably wouldn't wear overalls, but mostly because I am not thin as a rail like your DD or DIL.. sorry missed which one was your child. They look great on her!

Beautiful outfit! I love halloween outfits! That petti is awesome!

Here they are with their fairy godmother that I talked about earlier;

Your girls are soo cute!!! The outfits are perfect for them. I really adore the safari outfits. I love those everytime I see different versions of them. I want one!

THIS is GORGEOUS! Seriously! The smocking is perfect - I absolutley love it - honestly!

Thank you! I really loved your in the hoop smocking. Did you ever finish the dress? I missed the post if so.

Here is a second photo of the boys and I as our favorite movie characters in Snow White.

How fun! I love your Dopey!

Really nice. The smocking looks excellent. You are too critical of yourself.

Thanks. I am around so many people who smock perfectly, so I tend to judge myself against them. I definitely shouldn't though!

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

Thank you! I was happy to finally share what I have been working on for so long.

Wow!! You did such a great job on your first applique! Stunning!! Your fabric choices are great. Love the balloon outfit too. Is the back of the top shirred?? I am guessing that is why it fits so perfectly.

Love it!!! I am such a Star Wars nerd!! I so want to be Leia one day!

How awesome that you were able to do that for him!

If you hoop your shirt to where the bulk of it is hanging off to the left of the machine it would be easier imo.. you don't have as great of a chance of the maching catching that extra fabric. Don't ask how I know.
Jealous of your machine.. total hoop envy.

Each island is different and fun. Hope you get to go to Kauai soon!

We are planning on going back to Maui next year. Which island do you live at?? I'd love any advice on which island to go to. We've only been to Maui and chose it because we heard it was the most romantic and less touristy than the big island. We like to go on vacation just to be alone and be quiet.

I'm glad I didn't miss the Hawaii discussion. Why did you guys choose Kauai? I'm wondering now if maybe we should go there instead of Maui. We like quiet and romantic.. is that how you'd describe it?

This costume is fantastic. I love it. Just precious!

Thank you!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Toadstool: Thanks for pointing that out to me. I should have flipped the design and then did it.

I am still learning but you pointing that out is really a big help, I appreciate it.

Love the tiki room outfit and minnie dress!

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!

!

Ooooooooo....Now I am jealous! That sounds so fun! My parents just got back from a 12 day trip to Hawaii this summer and they spent a couple of days at 4 islands I believe. They really liked the beauty of Kauai!
You did a wonderful job on the outfits!! I'm glad you decided to post some pictures and jump right in!
