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

[ireland_nicole]

I had no pattern. All of the patterns are OOP. I searched everywhere for one...but they were selling for like $40 on ebay and etsy and I was NOT paying that price. So I did a lot of research and winged it from there on all of the costumes. This site gives lots of great details on the costumes and I used it as a guide http://www.padawansguide.com/index.shtml

Thanks! I just warned DH that it is probably going to cost more for me to makethis than to buy it, but he agreed that it will at least be a lot nicer. Danny is nuts over Obi Wan from the old republic episodes; so... looks like I will be working on drafting patterns- at least we may get SWW out of it LOL.

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!

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!)

Super cute!!!!

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.

Both of my girls:

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

Those are so adorable!!

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

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

Cute!!

Yes! Happy that you got all that you wanted. We are 3 weeks, 2 days from making our ADR's but I need park hours.

April, what days are you going? We might overlap

I think my DH still thinks it's less expensive to make things too.... I spent over $70 on the first Cinderella costume I made my daughter, and it's only gotten worse from there........ but I'm sure you guys all know that too!

I used to buy my kiddos clothes mostly from Gymboree, etc. and used the discounts, but I think sewing may work out marginally cheaper; maybe, maybe not. For costume stuff, though; if you're going to buy good fabric, it's going to cost. Sure, you could use the cheap polyester junk that commercial companies use to churn out the mass produced ones, but if you're going to the effort of making it, why not use good fabric? I casually mentioned to DH that I was going to need about three yards of a fine wool for the cloak, and he actually blinked a few times and then very carefully said, hmmm. Well... I guess you know what you need- wool, huh? It will fit him for a while, right?

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.

Wow, I can't wait!!
Now if I can channel to her that the bowling shirt should be upsized too - that would be heaven!

 

[dean556]

WOW you guys have been super busy! Love all the outfits!!

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!

Oh my!! A few years back, my Store Manager had her home raided by the DEA. They had been watching her hubby. He'd take his boat out in the Cheasapeake river and make his deals. Not far from thier home, he had a farm and some of his plants were over 6 foot tall. They even found seeds in thier garage. She was totally clueless. Divorced him right away after about 15 years of marriage. You just don't know people.

Here is another that has Daisy on it.
Oh, found a better one. I made two so flipped where the characters were on each dress.

I love this. I think I'd probably even wear it myself when in Disney. I bet even my 20yo Disney lovin Neice would wear it.

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

Love everything. I want to make my littlest neice an Ariel. She just loves her. The dress came out beautiful.

This can't be good news...the sewing machine dr called, but I didn't hear it, he left a message saying he needed to talk to me about my machine. I was hoping it was a call to say it's ready for pickup. I call back and he's out on a housecall? Must be one of those ginormous quilter machines. So now I have to wait until tomorrow to hear what I bet will be bad news.

On a positive note, lots of great stuff posted today! I have that poodle applique saved as a fav for a future project, Rebecca is poodle crazy for some reason.

 

[billwendy]

If you still would like to get involved, you can go to http://www.samaritanspurse.org/ to see how to put a smile on a needy child's face this Christmas!! Its a wonderful program!!

And she didn't even wonder where all the money was coming from? Or maybe he was hiding that too?

Hopefully it's not bad news; maybe he just wants to replace something (small) and needs an okay first.

I just got finished washing and drying all of my fabric for my fall/Thanksgiving outfits for my girls. Not really Thanksgiving'y' but I plan on them wearing these outfits for Thanksgiving. Right now I'm just hoping for no more UFO's! Next comes the ironing, YUCK!


So I just finished making all of our ADR's for our April trip today. Since we aren't planning on staying on-site for this trip (we are taking my DH's family with us and using our Hilton points for all of the rooms) I had to make a reservation each day as the window came up. What a pain! And since I know DH's family does NOT want to eat in the park every day I only had 3 ressies for everyone. But just in case his family decides not to go with us (very likely knowing them) I made ADR's for the rest of the days for us. Is it sad to say that I'm so excited about the ADR's that I got that I almost hope they don't go???? I know! I know! Shame on me!

Anyway, the ADR's for all of us (14 total) that are definites are CRT, Hoop Dee Doo Revue, and the Biergarten (weird choice but my DH's favorite strangely enough). The rest of our ADR's are the Plaza Restaurant, Le Celier, Sci-Fi Drive In, and 1900 Park Fare - but these are only if his family chooses not to go with us. And I got every ADR within 20 minutes of when I wanted them ! I am so glad they moved the dining window back to 180 days! Heather and Teresa I chose 1900 Park Fare since I knew how much you guys liked that restaurant and wanted to try it too. We are planning on being in WDW from 4/28-5/5 2010. Anyone else going to be there while we are there?

I was thinking about my customs for Christmas at Disney. I was thinking maybe something inspired by Mickey's and Minnie's finest Christmas attire - problem is - I have no idea what their finest attire is!!!

Does anyone know where I can find pictures of them and the holiday princess' dresses? I know I am going to go all out for my babies. I just don't know what my inspiration is yet!!


Thanks for the link to the fabric flowers - SUPER CUTE!! Add it to my list of things to do... Everytime I go on this board - it get longer and longer!!!

Minnie was in a red Mrs. Santa like outfit last year. You can probably find a picture on Flickr. If you don't find one, let me know and I'll dig for one of mine. We had to bail on the Mickey line so we didn't miss our second night of party fireworks and parade. But he was in some sort of light green (I think) overcoat and hat. Not my favorite......

The princesses, much to my disappointment, were only sporting princes on their arms as holiday attire. Only Belle was in anything remotely different (her red gown). I know I've seen pictures of Cinderella with a long sleeve jacket, and she wasn't even wearing that! I really wish they would go more out for the holiday costumes. Let's see.... I think Alice might have had on a scarf.....

Here are some "Christmas" Mickey and Minnie photos, but I have no idea where they are from or how old they are. Sorry Maybe they will be some inspiration, though? I've been saving up any Christmas pictures I find of the characters to help for our trip.

Now I know this Mickey is from Disneyland so the above Minnie maybe be as well, as it seems like they coordinate:

Ok, don't have much to say. Other than tired and need to post halloween pictures! But I really wanted to see my countdown, just to get excited again!!!!

 

[emcreative]

As Mom2RTK said, most of the others had scarves, and the princesses just seemed to add holly to their hair decorations. But I can pull those photos out if you'd like

We are planning on being in WDW from 4/28-5/5 2010. Anyone else going to be there while we are there?

I had planned to go 5/1 to 5/8 but when I tried to buy my airfare on the day it opened it was over $400 each person and I couldn't use the miles I have for one ticket so I changed to 5/5 to 5/12. Looks like I'll just miss you.

Congrats on booking your ADRs! I've booked a couple but need to plot out all of my days.

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!!

Oh, I wish you had asked me. I only saw a few customs while we were there and I too was afraid to say anything to them (for the same reason). Ha! Too funny. And.....we were headed to BBB also. Our appt was @ 8:10 so we were in there at the same time as you were. Have you posted BBB pics? I would love to see them.

 

[Granna4679]

We are going back to the treetop cottages in January, and I am so excited about it.

I just looked at this website....these treetop cottages are gorgeous....I am already begging my husband to take me there on our anniversary in Feb. Thanks for posting the website
