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

[sweetstitches]

DD gets a Vida with my first huge applique. I'm pretty happy with it except had a little trouble on small round things, like Pooh's nose/Piglet's nose. The eyes are painted, but all the eyebrows I appliqued The pastel batik fabric that I bought from Nicole (in CT) was my inspiration. I was a little worried how a batik applique would look, but I'm really happy with it.

DS likes Darby best and I detest appliqueing on knit as I always mess it up, so I painted his t and am thrilled with the results. As Heather suggested, Darby had a slight color change in her shirt and headband so ds wasn't sporting lavendar.

I have since read that Darby can be found in DHS so I guess now I will have to drag these outfits there and do wardrobe changes if we can find her. DH is going to think I really went off the deep end. Is Darby in MK at all???????

DD loves Roo, so if I have time(which I won't) I may add Roo to the back of the Vida.

First pic is front of dress, second is back, then applique and t close ups:

How did I miss this? Both the applique and the painting are fantastic! Great job!

 

[Camping Griswalds]

Really love some of the latest designs. My multi-quote got lost. I am so wanting some of that Tianna fabric if there is any left! Help a girl out

The pooh on the batik looks great. i loved the Cars outfit and the Cinderella. Oh and the latest Grinch too. I finally got my DD a Grinch outfit, and then got a fabulous steal on for a green fur coat!!!

Teresa, I have been busy but saw your ( and Heather too...loved thaat bed by the way) kids have been ill. So sorry! We will all have been innoculated for everything and anything by tomorrow. I hope we have a nice healthy stress free winter!

Is anyone on her going to WDW in January? I'd love to meet and share some things Our dates are 1/23-1/30 at BLT.

 

[sweetstitches]

I know this isn't sewing related and some of you already saw my photos on FB, but today is Theo's Gotcha Day. I am enjoying him so much at 6, but looking at these photos today really has me wistful for those baby days!

I've actually been sewing the past couple of weeks. I hadn't made anything since July.

I've been working on a few Christmas gifts. I made my niece (she's 30 something) and her DD(6) matching aprons and I made one pot holder using the free pattern on ycmt. I still need to make another one but ran out bias binding.

I really like they style of the child's apron-just over the head-no ties. It is the "Child's no tie apron" on ycmt. Not sure I like the adult one-it is a Simplicity pattern-it called for 1/4" bias binding but that was driving me crazy so I gave up and switched to 1/2".

I made my niece's husband and my BIL "trendy trash bags" from ycmt-they hang off a head rest or stick shift.

These are really cute! Now you have me wanting to try that kids apron LOL.

My oldest DD(10) picked out fabric for me to make her best friend a name pillow for Christmas. Of course she need one too. I still have to sew them shut.

I've already got the name sewn out for my youngest DD and hope to make one for my DS. Then I've got plans for at least one maybe 2 more. They are pretty fun!

Awesome!

And I finally started sewing for our trip in 2 weeks.

For my Pooh loving 10 year old. She tends to think she's too old for customes but I think she really loves this.

And something for me! I've been wanting to make this for months.

I need to stitch these and then I also want to do Christmas Minnie T's. And would love to do Christmas Minnie/Mickey for my friend and her DH that we're going with but I'm running out of time.

Great job! You can make it!!

I will hopefully post a few pictures of the turkey costume I made for my son's preschool teacher and of him in his pilgrim costume this week. The program is Friday. Until then, I wanted to share with you ladies what I did with my two little ones on Veteran's Day while we were at home. Hope you all enjoy their "artwork".

I let me boys do all the painting on the pumpkins. They strung the beads for the turkey too. We had a blast!

Dawn

Those look like a lot of fun!

So, I fell of the face of the Earth for a little more than a week. Kaedyn had cheer competition this past weekend and I was in charge of organizing the goodie bags for the troops. Cheer Power was accepting them and would pay to ship overseas. So, we managed to collect and package 114 We were very proud of ourselves!!!

Kaedyn won her competition! Yippee!! Then, yesterday I finished the outfit I had been working on. I only have 15 days left. So, I need to get sewing!!!

Here is my version of the Cindy princessified Simply Sweet. The script on the back says...A dream is a wish your heart makes. I can't wait to catch up and see what everyone has been working on. I am always so inspired!!!

Congrats to Kaedyn on her cheer competition! I love the dress; it's gorgeous; I really love how you chose to accent the blue with the white

Hi Everyone! I have been here lurking...Big things for us. A job change, we moved (again) and the girls are both very busy with activities. I have been busy sewing. I don't remember if I posted this set or not...if so..sorry.

Is anyone making any planet 51 stuff?..the movie comes out soon...groan..

Wow! AMazing! Did you use a pattern for either piece? I didn't make a planet 51 custom, we're gonna miss that one; I did make a Christmas Carol one, and am working on Tiana.

Absolutely incredible; I am so jealous! I especially love the hand painting- super!

Congrats!

 

[CastleCreations]

Gorgeous!!!! What pattern is the top? I love the look. Sorry, never heard of Planet 51. I've either been cooped up in my laundry room sewing or outside cleaning storm debri -- or at the fabric stores (see, I get around!).

Hi..I didn't use a pattern. Just sort of pieced it together. I really wanted a corset top, but no where to put the grinch...LOL

bummer; I really wanted to CASE the shape of it; but I don't think I could figure that one out; fabulous job though- I really love it!

 

[VBAndrea]

Just popping in for a minute and I saw these. You did an awesome job! I hope to run into your customs, I mean you and your family, while we are there. If you see my customs, I mean my family, be sure to say something. My husband will think you are crazy, but he thinks that about me so it won't matter.

I must go sew now. I have a few more disney things...I've been procrastinating with the t-shirt appliques, and someone misplaced a bunch of costumes for our church's Christmas program. I volunteered to help. What was I thinking!?!

Thanks. I will try to post a recap of everything before we leave, but don't necessarily count on it -- it depends how behind I am on finishing things up

And if you do run into us and my dh is a grouch please don't take it personally. Not only is he anti-Disney, but he has social anxiety disorder so hates crowds and may be really crabby. One on one he's a sweetie though and he's a great Dad, so hopefully he'll handle the trip OK. I only coerced him to go since we get the military salute deal this year.

You are right -- what were you thinking volunteering to help with the Christmas program?!

WOW Andrea. Those are amazing. Did you paint that by hand?? Very Nice.

Thanks. For the painting I took a picture off the internet and printed it and used tracing paper to put the basic outline on the shirt. It was really hard to see(the tracing paper on the knit didn't work too well), so I didn't get it perfect, but it was good enough to kind of scale things correctly. Shading was really easy. I never imagined it would have turned out that nice but it was quite easy to do. I painted a Lightning McQueen on broadcloth and that was much more difficult -- the paint soaked in a lot on the cotton so I had to do several coats and it didn't shade nearly as well. Painting on t-shirts is much easier for me than appliqueing on them.

And I sent you a PM with my numbers in case you need the shirt b/f Wed. If not, I have your number jotted down and will call you Wed when I get there.

WOW!! How cute and a lot of work. Excellent! I love the noses....if anyone gets close enough to see they aren't perfect then you can tell them to back off....ha!! Very talented!!

Thanks And you're right no one should be getting that close to my dd!

WOW!!!! Love that Vida! Your applique is awesome! Your painting on the T is so great! My DD(6) would love your painting of Buster!!! She loves dogs. I was thinking of doing some sort of dog custome for her January bday trip.

Thanks! I was thinking about doing a 101 Dalmation custom but ds saw the Little Einstein fabric so I did that instead. Your DD might like something with 101 Dalmations. Bolt apparently no longer appears, but that would be another dog option. Doesn't "Up" also have a dog?

My dd loves dogs and cats. I was contemplating a Marie custom for her, but had to go with Jasmine instead since dinner will be at Akershus the evening we're doing World Showcase.

Those are all amazing! I LOVE the painting. It's wonderful!! We'll be down there the same time as you and I will be keeping an eye out for sure!!

I luckily only have 1 daughter to sew for. I've made 6 outfits so far, and have 4 left + bows!! Only 19 days left!!!! I'll post them eventually...

Jess

Thanks! You are set if you only have four outfits left. I have to do Park Fare for both dd and ds (no clue what ds will get), MVMCP outifts for both, Tusker outfits for both, and shirts for ds for MK, AK and Akershus plus a shirt for dd for MK and then another entire set for MK. EEKS! I can't even think about it. I do have a whole two hair bows done! At least ds doesn't need those.

Fantastic!!! I am very impressed! The Darby turned out great!!!

Thanks. I hope ds is happy with Darby. I figure he can wear the t over a long sleeved oatmeal t and he has khaki unzip pants so he should be set. DD will likely wear hot pink under her Vida, but I haven't exactly scoped her closet out to see if I have something to match. It's so hard ahving to be prepared for the possibility of cold weather.

How did I miss this? Both the applique and the painting are fantastic! Great job!

Thanks!

The pooh on the batik looks great.

Thanks! I was really pleased with how it came together. I saw a batik Vida done on some European site and bookmarked it b/c I thought it looked neat. I just wasn't sure it would come together with the applique. And a couple of the fabrics were not batik -- thankfully Joann's had a good selection, but not perfect.

I know this isn't sewing related and some of you already saw my photos on FB, but today is Theo's Gotcha Day. I am enjoying him so much at 6, but looking at these photos today really has me wistful for those baby days!

Happy Gotcha Anniversary! What a sweet baby.

Absolutely incredible; I am so jealous! I especially love the hand painting- super!

thanks so much!

Hi..I didn't use a pattern. Just sort of pieced it together. I really wanted a corset top, but no where to put the grinch...LOL

Oh that figures! It looks just perfect ~ wish I was that creative.

 

[Tweevil]

Everyone's creations are lovely!

Awe! I love babies! Happy Gotcha Day!

Theo was an absolutely adorable baby, and I bet he is handsome as ever at 6! Congrats to your whole family!

I love these! The applique is beautiful and I love the painted tee! I think I have seen Darby at the Magic Kingdom in the playground across from Winnie-the-Pooh's Ride.

Has anyone else seen her there?

Yep, we saw Darby near Pooh's ride too - she was just passing by though

 

[lovesdumbo]

That looks great!

Thanks!

Is anyone on her going to WDW in January? I'd love to meet and share some things Our dates are 1/23-1/30 at BLT.

I'll be at AKL 1/20 to 1/27 for my DD's bday 1/21.

Congratulations!

These are really cute! Now you have me wanting to try that kids apron LOL.
Awesome!
Great job! You can make it!!

Thanks! I loved that kid's apron!

My dd loves dogs and cats. I was contemplating a Marie custom for her, but had to go with Jasmine instead since dinner will be at Akershus the evening we're doing World Showcase.

I made her a Dug (Up) outfit in August. I hope they are still there in January so she can wear it again. She was very sad that Bolt isn't greeting anymore. My DS & I saw him his last week out in May 09. I was thinking of making her a panel skirt with different Disney Dogs but might just stick with a Lady & Tramp outfit for Tony's.

I bought her a Disney Dogs from Amazon for either Christmas or her Jan bday. It is really cute. I have to look through that for some inspiration. She saw a Lady & Tramp coloring page she wants me to applique but it has Lady, Tramp, all the puppies, Jack and the blood hound (forgot his name). I don't think I'm up for that. She said I could skip the girl puppies.. My funny little tomboy.

 

[Tweevil]

Ok, I admit I am a sissy when it comes to flying. Really... I ...am.
But I am thinking about biting the bullet in January for a short trip.

Is $438 roundtrip nonstop in late Jan 2009 from ATL to MCO for 2 people expensive? I could drive for $300 but the son wants to fly.... did I mention I am skeered??
I know I could post this on the transp board but I didn't want to get el flamo'ed over there... whatcha think?

 

[Cibahwewah]

She is precious!! What pattern did you use for the twirl skirt?

Why, I used one from this board! Well, a link, at least. My*Sweet*Sunshine's blog tutorial! Remember the American Girl set? My skirt didn't turn out as good as hers, though, my ruffler was giving me fits, so I didn't make the middle and top panels as full as I'd intended. That bottom ruffle took 16 feet of grosgrain ribbon to trim!!!

 

[SarahandPaul]

I am interested in purchasing an embroidery machine. I already have a great sewing machine, so embroidery only is fine. The Brother PE-150D embroidery machine is listed on my local Craigslist for $275. Does anyone here have that machine or can perhaps recommend another machine? I know there is also a basic Brother embroidery for about $325 at Waldemort (read the first page directions....hope I spelled it right!). Thanks for any advice!

Heathersue has a disney dogs design; that would be super cute on the bodice of a stripwork dress w/ all the different dogs appliqued onto the strips. Then you could use both current and not currently seen dogs. The hound in Lady and the tramp is Trusty (and the terrier is Jaque, and trusty's grandpappy is Old Reliable- just realized, we watch that movie entirely too much LOL)

 

[kidneygirl]

I've made 6 outfits so far, and have 4 left + bows!! Only 19 days left!!!! I'll post them eventually...

Please post them!! We're going to be arriving the same day as you. If you post the pictures, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you at the parks. I need to pull out all of the outfits I made for DD just to remember what I made! Plus I need to start thinking about packing soon.

I don't know who is more excited about our trip...me or my DD.


OT: My DS will be turning one shortly after we return from Disney. We want to celebrate his birthday while we're there, since my parents will be with us (they live in ND and we live in NC, so they don't get to celebrate birthdays with us very often). Do you think it will be ok for us to bring in a little treat for him to celebrate his birthday while we're eating at one of our character meals? (I'd love to bring a cupcake, but I doubt it would travel well from our condo to the parks)

I don't have an embroidery machine.

Thanks for naming Trusty.

I still haven't decided if I want to do a Disney Dog outfit-I was thinking maybe something with "puppy love" or an all Lady & the Tramp outfit. I should start on it soon!!! I should just do her favorite-Scamp!

 

[busy mommy]

And if you do run into us and my dh is a grouch please don't take it personally. Not only is he anti-Disney, but he has social anxiety disorder so hates crowds and may be really crabby.

You are right -- what were you thinking volunteering to help with the Christmas program?!

It's so hard ahving to be prepared for the possibility of cold weather.

My husband may be a grouch, too. He is usually a great fun-loving guy. He actually loves Disney as much as I do. But if he is tired, or the kids are irritable, watch out. He becomes rather grouchy. Of course, I am never grouchy

I am almost finished with the costumes for the program. I have never sewn for them before, so they didn't trust me with much. Three aprons and a chef hat. I found an adorable free pattern online and of course the free chef hat on ycmt. One apron is complete. I am waiting on measurements to complete the other two aprons and to start on the chef hat. Don't these parents realize I need measurements, so I can get back to my disney sewing.

I'm with you on the packing. I am bringing short and long sleeves to go under everything along with leggings and tights. and jackets and coats and mittens and hats. And I'm even bringing my kitchen sink(we're staying at the campgrounds). I've got to get busy cleaning and restocking our camper. And we will be eating some at our camper, so I've got to stock the fridge. All this in under three weeks. And I forgot to mention both Abbie and Gray have big
school projects due the week after Thanksgiving. But no, I'm not stressed

Have them put a note on your ADR that you are celebrating DS's birthday and remind them when you get there. They will give him a complimentary cupcake. We did that at CP for my youngest for his birthday. They also put Mickey confetti on the table and gave him a birthday card signed by all the characters
