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

[froggy33]

Your daughter is just adorable & the customs are the icing on the cake! I miss the days when I could make my dd wear what I want her to LOL!! It was great meeting you & your dd looks just like you. So glad you all had a good time

Thank you! I know, it's nice jsut putting her in what I want. That's why for Halloween she was a ladybug - I know that when she gets older she'll probably ask to be a princess, I don't want to get tired of those too soon!

It was really nice meeting you too! Thanks again!

I love them all, Jessica!!! They are soooo cute!!! You are so talented...

What a great idea!!! I will have to keep that in mind for next year!

Adorable customs, and the Feliz turned out great!! Have a great trip!

I LOVE the Tiana Vida!!!!

Question Alert- If I go too fast when using my ruffler foot, My needle falls out - Does this happen to anyone else too? I make sure it is fastened in good and tight. I have a Babylock Ellageo (which I love) I have one feliz finished, I will be cutting out the other 2 tonight. I still have a tablecloth, a t-shirt, 2 sweatshirts and an apron left to make as gifts before Christmas but I am determined to get these dresses done first! I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...

Yes, that has happened to me..it never happened on my old Brother machine, but it happened on my Brother 4500D...now, I tightened it real good, and I keep the screwdriver near by when I use the ruffler, and tighten it every so often before I finish ruffling.

Hi Everyone - hope you are all enjoying your holiday events! Prayers to all who need them - T-beri hope you are okay.....love the holiday outfits and the Disney customs too!! Adorable!

Well, it has been exactly 1 year since Daniel (my now 12 year old nephew) was diagnosed with a medullablastoma - a very aggressive form of brain cancer/tumor. We are thankful that this year has gone fairly well healthwise (with less than 5 hospitalizations due to illness - many due to chemo treatments though). I found out today that Daniel's team meeting in Rehab didnt go so great. I dont know specifics, there is no sign of regrowth of the tumor (whew) so they werent telling mom that, but she just broke down in the meeting. She is just so overwhelmed and I think is in some ways greiving the loss of her "healthy son" Daniel. While he is a GREAT kiddo - he has some permanent issues in they way he thinks, walks and talks. I've mentioned before that his 2 brothers are also special needs kiddos (drug/alcohol exposed in utero by their birth mothers) and they are a HANDFUL to say the least. Plus he has a teenaged sister (so sweet, bearing alot for her family) and a 2 year old sister! While we reach out to them, sometimes they just want to be left alone I think so life feels "normal" to them again. If you guys could just say a prayer of thanksgiving for his health and then a prayer of strength for his mom (Shelly) I'd really appreciate it. I think it just hits home with it being the holidays and all. Thanks

Prayer request #2. My step sister's best friend is Katie Nolan - she is one of the hikers missing on Mt. Hood. They called off the search officially now - she has not been found and they say there is less than a 1% chance of her survival at this point. She and Ruthie went to college at Philadelphia Biblical University together. Katie lived at my mom's house for a month or so 2 summers ago. I dont know her very well, but my stepfather's side of the family does. I pray her family finds peace and closure - what a horrific event.

Thanks friends! Sorry to ramble - Love you guys!!
Wendy

Prayers for Daniel and his mom, and the rest of the family. I will also say a prayer for your step sister, and Katie's family!

Jessica AMAZING as usual!

Jessica, love all the applique shirts, but had to say these Donald and Daisy outfits are my favorites!

Thank you! They are some of my most favorite! I must say I didn't think up the idea or pick the fabric. I just sewed it all up! It turned out gorgeous!!

 

[Camping Griswalds]

The princesses in their winter wear on the Feliz is awesome! I like the sparkly fabric you used too!

Jessica....Your tees have so much "character"! Darling as always. I love the Donald set the best though. The blues and swirls of fabric, plus the neat Euro ruffles make it very boutique looking!

 

[tricia]

Everything is awesome Jessica, but I especially love the Donald. Wish I had the patience and skill you have to do those great T-Shirts. I have to keep telling Tyler that it has to be SIMPLE for mom to do it.

They look great. And good Idea. I had bookmarked that page in case I needed an idea for later.

Had to add an extension on DGS's shirt, it was too short.

Everything is great. Too funny about the shirt being too short. They grow too fast for us most days, don't they?

These are for Epcot. It is how Santa Claus is refered to in all 11 countries at Epcotl

That is so cool. What a great idea.

The feliz looks great too. Any you made 2 of these, both with that many princesses?!?!

Love the VIDA

Friday we did a photo session at Grand Floridian. It went really well and the pics were great!

Jessica

All of the dresses look so much better in action then when You originally posted them. Glad you had a great time. And don't we all start planning our next trip right away?!?!? (Even if there is no immediate plans for one)

 

[McDuck]

Quick question...I want to sew DD a couple of pacifier clips to put in her Christmas stocking (she turns 2 months on the 21st). I got pink ribbon and some snaps. Now I need to find a fastener-- I'm calling it a suspender clip...the part of suspenders that clips to the top of the pants, but I don't know what the "real" name is? I like how the cover part of it would keep sharp corners down. I'm hitting a local sewing shop on Saturday (and then Hancock's after that). If I have to ask someone there for assistance, does anyone know the technical name of what I'm looking for is?

 

[h518may]

I mentioned yesterday that I finished another feliz. I wanted a feliz that was more summery then my first one(Christmasy).

Thanks! They all did turn out really well on (which is a good thing - cause I really didn't try many of them on her before we left!) I am already so excited for our next trip!! I already have dates picked out and everything - my husband has no idea!! I am going to take a land/sea so I can go on the new Dream! I really need to start saving my money now! Hopefully designing customs for people will help keep me occupied!

[pixeegrl]

I figured I should post some of what I was up to! I am building legos right now (ordered tons of pick a bricks) and so thought I would load photobucket up! Too many pictures coming!

And a few more.

Those two are pretty much the same as what I did for us last year.

Thanks Aimee for the inspiration!

That was the Daisy outfit I was working on a while back.

These are all so cute, I love Donald fighting with the lights!

Great job! I am having a Tiana custom made with the main fabric on the front. I love it! I have not seen the pink Tiana. Great find!

If you can't find it at the sewing shop, go to Target or Walmart and get mitten clips. I know in October they had them in the Dollar Spot at Target, but you could probably find then in the kids/baby department too

Thanks! I didn't know about those! That's exactly the type of fastener I am looking for and will be a good fall-back if I don't have luck at the sewing shop.

 

[AlternateEgo]

I have to finish the stockings soon! I am running out of time

I don't know how you guys can find the time to do so many beautiful customs when I am just trying to find time to make stockings, lol.

I think the Feliz is going to have to be on my list, it is just too cute. I know I can't do all the applique's though... so I will have to be creative with the materials.

Questions... September customs, do you still do dresses? Are they hot? If I don't have a serger will the seems irritate my kids stomachs? If you have three daughters... do you make a custom for every park? or more extensive like, one for the park, then one for dinner...?

Thanks!

My little one is 17 months and 31" tall about 22lbs and for all my skirts I make the bottom hem about 60" around. They fit over a petti pretty well that way. I have heard other people do 80 or 90" for bigger girls. For strip skirts I do each strip in a trapezoid shape, the top a little smaller than the bottom so that I have less to gather on top.

Good luck!

thanks so much , i will definitely measure and add some more strips

Here's a mini trip report featuring customs!!

We arrived on Saturday, Dec 5, checked into Caribbean Beach and ate at Chef Mickey's for dinner. Little one did pretty good with the characters.

Jessica

Jessica, your little one is such a doll baby!! I love all her customs.

I made Lanyards for teachers this year.

They are super easy. I found the Badge Clips at Michael's and attached them to D rings and also added a split ring for a key. So I spent about $12.00 and of course I used fabric from my stash.

Here is the tutorial I followed, although I added a little Stitch Witchery inside.

http://sewsimplycreative.blogspot.com/2008/09/lanyard-tutorial.html

The finished products. . .

I also made a couple of key fobs.

Now I need to make 2 Christmas Dresses, 4 aprons, and 2 nursing covers.
I have 2 days left because we are leaving Saturday for my parents house.

I remember reading some years back, about a man that was a trucker. His wife wanted to travel with her, but she liked to sew. So he rigged up a sewing table and her sewing in the cab of his truck. I would have liked to see inside that truck.

Last post I promise.
This is my first Feliz and I made two matching ones. Each dress has 6 princesses on it with a total of 87,306 stitches. The light blue is sparkely.

This is gorgeous!!

Aww. Thanks so much!

 

[ireland_nicole]

I've been so busy with everything that I've been forgetting to take pics before the stuff goes out LOL, but I made an Alice cutie top for DD's alice audition, aprons for a few folks, an outfit for DD to sing at the capitol, and a Tiana meghan (or is it Molly) peasant for a co-workers DD. Finally finished the kids outfits to go see Santa saturday. DS didn't want to model his vest, but DD was happy to oblige. DS's vest is in the same mickey stripe fabric.

DD also wanted a pic of the puppies, and in the spirit of the dog lovers of the board, here are my furbabies "posing" with DD:

 

[Tweevil]

I have a question guys....

What is the easiest purse to make on YCMT? I have 5 to do and a cold so easy would be good... Giving them out on Wednesday for our angel tree.

Thanks very much for your help,
She who has a 103.4 fever and can't stand it.
