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

[ireland_nicole]

Very cute!. I LOVE the hidden Mickey! I think the bow is really cute too.
How old do you think you need to be to see the movie? Even my 3-year-old is begging me to take him to it.

Guess I'll go work all that laundry that calling my name.....

hmmm, my kids are kinda scardy cats, but there are some parts that really freaked em out. I think it's best to wait until your child understands "pretend"; even though it's animated, it's really lifelike. A couple of the ghosts are pretty frightening, and it's enhanced by the 3d. They rated it PG, and I think that's about right; my kids were ok in the end because they knew the basic story, and also saw the preview at the train tour so we were able to talk about it.

Nicole,

Love your daughters skirt for Christmas Carol? What pattern is it? So cute!

It's the Peek a boo twirl pattern from YCMT. I actually really enjoyed it, and am planning to do it again but attached to a bodice a la Shannon for a christmas dress. Thanks for the compliment!

I debated and debated this afternoon and ended up not going. It's so hard to know what they will think. Glad to hear your guys liked it and made it through to the end.



Oh I hope Santa is listening when I tell him 20 times a day I want a machine!!! Beautiful!!

Me too! Maybe you could also leave notes and pictures for him- just in case; I think Santa likes order numbers

I LOVE the appliques and I super duper love the skirt and fabric choices What pattern did you use for the skirt? It is just gorgeous. See, working full time can't slow you down!

aww, thanks! I feel like working has slowed me down, but I did wash material for my next two projects and I made my mom one of Carla's new tunics- love, love, love, love love it! So I guess I haven't slowed down "too much"

My DD took my DGD4 to see the broadway musical of Mary Poppins today. They said it was outstanding. Here is the dress I made for her. I didn't try it on her until an hour before they had to leave so it was a tad bit short but she loved it and I think it turned out really cute. I did the applique and since I don't have an embroidery machine, a friend of mine did the wording. (little bit on the right side didn't get to go but she felt like she had to be in the picture)

where is everyone else?

we cleaned all day - having a picnic tomorrow for our Camp Promise team and we have to give our report tomorrow night at church. Our friends, the missionaries we go to help in MT, are here right now too - so its a shindig for about 40 people!!! thank goodness the weather is supposed to be exceptionally warm for November tomorrow!!

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

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

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

Thanks!!!!

Oh, how CUUTE!!!! I love the ruffle candy canes!!! These are just adorable!!

!

Thanks! It was a quick and easy way to make candy canes!

The candy cane pants are AWESOME!!!! Do you mind if I copy for my daughter?

No, not at all! I can't believe someone wants to copy me!

Adorable! I love the candy canes on the pants. I might have to CASE that!

Go right ahead. Thanks!

The pants:

Ok so when your ladies and gent are ruffling jeans do you cut off that bottom thick hem? I am thinking of trying this for a Thanksgiving outfit. I will post some pictures of other stuff in the AM after ballet.
TIA

I didn't cut them off. I am still looking for a good way to do it. I'm not sure mine look right!

The pants:

I cut off the thick hem and also 2.1/2 - 3" (depending on how wide I am making he ruffle). It always has worked for me this way.

Do you attach the ruffle to the wrong side (inside) or the right side of the jeans?

I would also be interested to know what others think of the new Christmas
Carol movie and if it is too scary for a 5 year old?

The McFrock - Emmy loves McDonalds, so couldn't pass this material up! My good camera is being repaired, and this one took crappy pics - the colors are really vibrant on the dress, like the first pic of just the top - not washed out, like the ones of my lil lady wearing it!

Tried to do an applique of the McD logo "M" for it, and followed HeatherSue's tutorial, but just didn't have any luck. Not sure what happened, but I kept getting about half an inch up one of the legs of the M and a giant knot would form on the back side of the material - like it was sewing the same place over and over - I did three attempts before I just gave up and put the patchwork pieces on the top. I will try again, though, so if anybody knows what I was doing wrong, or has any extra tips, let me know - the tutorial is great, this student is not always so bright, though....

Charlinn - LOVE the minnie Christmas dress!

Omg...your model is adorable! Love the dress as well...so cute!!

 

[charlinn]

Thank you all for your compliments on my outfits!! I have been having so much fun lately, I just wish I could quit my job and do this full time!!!

I have to tell you I am so excited! I have been doing small boutiques here and there showing my sets and some other things that I make with some success (not a ton), and today a friend took one of my applique'd T's (with Mickey with the Santa Hat) to her daughters dance class (they are going to DL in December as a class - they get to perform on main street). She called me and the owner wants all the kids to wear the shirt that I created! There are 21 kids. This is my biggest order ever!!! And most of the moms are ordering one for themselves and the siblings.

They are going to turn in the rest of the orders by next Saturday, but I have orders for 10 of them already!! OMG...I am so amazed that they love them!!!

I guess when you create things, you just hope people love them, but I am really hard on myself.

They have beautiful dresses that they are wearing for the parade, but while they are in Disneyland the rest of the day, they will all be wearing my shirts!!! OMG!!! Sorry...just had to share!

Thanks again for all your support and encouragement...it means the world!

I am VERY, VERY frustrated. I've spent the last 1 1/2 hours trying to print out the bowling shirt pattern. My printer (which I've never had any problem with before) got a paper jam, and not it keeps getting paper jams. I've taken the back off, searched for tiny pieces of paper, taken the paper tray out, rebooted it, everything I can thing of. Then I had Rachel do everything too, since she's more mechanically inclined than I am. I guess I'm going to have to wait until Mark gets back from his business trip tomorrow. I really thought I was going to FINALLY get to sew this weekend. ugh.

That happened to me once and when my husband took apart the printer there was a crayon inside it. Who know how it got there?

Hope your problem is just as easily fixed!

Just got back from Christmas Carol in 3D; it was awesome! The kids were super scared through parts of it, but the ending made it worth it to them
Of course, we couldn't possibly go without customs, so I finally came up with something- I don't know why, but I had a devil of a time coming up with ideas for this one; I've already started my Tiana, and have alice done in my head, but just wasn't inspired on this one for some reason; I'm happy with how things came out though

Here's the two of them together

Wow! Those are perfect! I'm not sure if I'll take my 3 or not. My DS(8) would probably love it but I don't think my DD(6) would enjoy it at all and I'm not sure how interested my DD(10) would be in it. Maybe I should take just my DS-he could use a special date with Mom.

My DD took my DGD4 to see the broadway musical of Mary Poppins today. They said it was outstanding. Here is the dress I made for her. I didn't try it on her until an hour before they had to leave so it was a tad bit short but she loved it and I think it turned out really cute.

Love your Mary Poppins!!!!

WOO HOO good for you!! Im like that too - you just hope people will like things you make!!!

Im trying to embroider a tshirt for my friends little boy's 1st bday - got a cute embroidery firetruck with a big 1 (all stitched for 4x4). Well, I went to do it on the shirt - 1 layer of thick tear away, topped with a thin layer of wash away over the shirt, shirt pinned to tear away (I just cannot do hooping and center it right) -its a size 18 mos shirt. So, It looks good until I take it out, and I notice it kinda made a little wrinkle/fold along the outside of the 1 and there was a long hole!!!!!!!!! What did I do wrong??? I used a ballpoint needle too....grrrrrrrrrr.....Marah and I were thinking my tension is too tight maybe????? what else do you think????

Oh...that is such a bummer. I wish I knew what it could have been, that is so furstrating. I do all my applique's with my basic sewing machine by hand. I don't have an embroidery machine...although it's on my wish list!! I am sure someone on here can help you

This post will probably get yanked, but I am desparate. I went to ebay trying to find my contact who made Madison and Justin's outfits the last time we went to WDW. Unable to find her! We are going to be there in February, can someone PM with info on somebody who can make me some outfits (not just for the kids, but tshirts for me and dh too) without costing me an arm and leg? TIA

 

[tvgirlmin]

Thanks for the pattern info, Nicole! I am off to youcanmakethis to pick that skirt pattern up!

And thanks for all the kudos on the McFrock! That is my favorite dress I have made so far, but whatever is the latest tends to be my favorite - go figure...

I was working on tutu's for two lil gals birthday's this week, and embroidering their names on some ribbon. Not sure how I managed to do it, but I think I stripped the bolt on my hoop for my brother machine! Ugggh....

Do you all know of a way to fix this, or am I gonna have to buy a new hoop? I hate to buy a new one, as I haven't used this one that much! I wasn't even being rough with it, I am not sure how I stripped it. I turned it to release the tension, and all the sudden it kind of popped and acted like it was stripped. I jimmied it enough to finish the ribbon, but it wasn't acting right...

Here are the tutu's that did the damage, but they are for two of the sweetest little gals -

Did Scrappy get blamed?

He causes a lot of trouble, but even I couldn't blame him for that one!

Remember, this is his innocent face...

Hello,
I am not very good at sewing. When we were at the world in March bought a Jasmine outfit for DD4.

Nearly all the sequins have come off (this was in 2 weeks!) can anyone tell me the quickest and easiest way to put them back on. Needs to be as permenant as possible as I don't want to have to keep doing it.

Thanks for any advice I receive
Ela

wow! Congrats! That's exciting! did you say that you are doing all of those appliques by hand?!

someone just approached me about making something for their two girls to wear to disney because she has seen the things I have made for mine. i think she just wants something simple though.

Haha...yes all by hand LOL!! I must be crazy! But who passes an opportunity up like that?

I am going to do it in an assembly line kinda fashion!!

Do you have a record of who you sent payment to for that trip, maybe in your Paypal or email history???) She might not be on that site any more, but she might still sew for others directly. Just be careful. It's hard to find inexpensive and good quality in the same place. If you can use someone you're familiar with, it's safer.

Good luck!

Just checking in here... WOW.. I haven't been able to search through ALL the pages yet but wondering if there is a thread or link that shows all completed projects. I am really intersted in seeing everyone's Disney quilts. I am thinking of tackling this project and want to do different Disney character appliques. Any suggestions where to start looking.
