Disboutiquers Part 19 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[Haganfam5]

I am SO excited! DH and I are going through a DIvorce but understand (After MANYfights, yelling screaming and the umm, Police) that we have to get along for our children. It is a nice change and I honestly hope it lasts! So we were talking about our taxes and have decided that we are going to take the girls to DISNEY WORLD for one last family trip! We are thinking March maybe the first week. We have never been to Disney in March so it will be a new experience to us because we have only been in Jan and Dec so I have to check out some sites to find out the weather then start sewing! Working on a Snow White outfit now for Olivia and then I will be hunkering down and doing with any luck at least 2 outfits a dy to get them done in time!

Thanks for letting me share my excitment as well as my pictures!

Congratulations on the trip booking! I don't know when you plan on going in March but I have been there the end of February into March and the middle of March to April 1rst. The end of Feb. was freezing (I think the average temp was around 50 degrees which is freezing for Florida)! No shorts on that trip! The crowds weren't too bad though. However, my children may have gone in the pool once, which was upsetting for them because they love to swim. The middle to end of March was INSANE! I will never go during spring break/Easter again. The weather was nice but we couldn't even walk in the parks they were so crowded. It was very discouraging and really hard to feel the Disney magic....there was just sooooo many people there. I hope you have a better experience and can enjoy your trip. The outfits are just adorable and so is your daughter! Too cute! You did an amazing job on them!

That food is super cute -- my girls would have loved it and the mail. Did you use a pattern to make the robe? It is sweet and my girls have been asking for robes, too.

Thanks!

What a clever idea and love the petti!

Love everything, especially the food- great job!

Love it all, but the cake is just too cute!!!! I may have to attempt that one - my daughter would LOVE it!

The play food is so great! I have felt sitting in my sewing room for over a year now that I bought to make play food. Needless to say, I found some play food on clearance at Kohl's and never got around to making any. Maybe someday.........

Love the felt food! Great job.

Thanks everyone. If I can find the tutorial I used to make the cake while I'm at work, I'll post it. It's bookmarked at home, but it may be in my e-mail. The robe is a Simplicity pattern. I think it may be out of print now, but I'll try to remember to look the number up for you when I get home. I've nearly worn out my pattern pieces I've made that so many times.

Finally finished my Big Give outfit for Piper tonight. I hope she likes it. I also made a matching headband that is reversible (in second picture).

So cute! I love the pink dots with the Minnie fabric.

I posted this on the main Creative board, but just now remembered this thread from my trip last year.....

That said... My DD (will be 4 in 2 weeks) loves her some Tinkerbell. We have a dress-up Tinkerbell Dress for the Disney store, but it is so darn itchy for her (and pretty thin too) like all those dress-up dresses are. For our visit in May, I'd like to make her a nice cool summer dress, but Tinkerbell inspired. I'd like it to look as much like tinkerbell as possible, while still retaining ease of wear for her for all day at the park.

Anyone have any patterns/ideas/pictures they can post?

TIA,
Laura

Gorgeous! Your DD and her outfits!
DH and I went the first week of March last year and it was very cold. The wind was tough so definitely plan on windbreakers and dress in layers. Have a great trip.

Hey ladies...I thought I'd hop in and see what this is all about. Looks like fun. I'm not a sewer...yet. Maybe once I get my mom's scrapbook done from our Dec 08 trip, I'll pull out her sewing machine and figure out how to thread it and get into sewing. All the clothes and things you ladies make are amazing!

Welcome. Where at in Denver are you? I'm down in Littleton.

DH is now home after having his appendix out. He's still hurting from the surgery and has a hard time moving around. I went back to work last night, I should have stayed home another day but we really need the money. DH usually does the school thing monday Wednesday and Friday so I can sleep in so I had to get up and do it today. I'm pretty tired now, I haven't slept much this week.

So today I tried to get a little sewing done since I haven't done anything all week. Well, I have now joined the club for cutting myself with my rotary cutter. I actually took a small chuck off the tip of my thumb. Ouch! I think I really need to go back to bed.

I want to thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. Ed came home from the hospital yesterday but I am not happy with the way he is breathing. He is still in a lot of pain. He has an appointment tomorrow with his primary and I am looking forward to that because I don't think he is going to make it through the weekend without a change or tweaking with his meds.




Thanks for this post, I could have written it myself. I have only ever sewn with a pattern from Joann's and I really want to branch out and sew some cute things for my DGD. I will be reading the answers with great interest.

Here is a jumper I made for my Granddaughter. She loves Pooh and when I found this Pooh Christmas fabric last October I had to make something for her. I should have taken a picture of it before I mailed it but my DIL sent pictures of her playing in her her dress so I thought I'd share.

Mary that dress is cute. thoughts with you and Ed. Hopefully he feels better soon.

I have made a few things lately, and I am attempting to post them. I don't have models for everything so please forgive me.

This is a photo of my boys this morning before preschool.

Dawn

You and your boys are adorable! Love the shirts, and Dopey is one of my favs too.

I finally got pics of Christmas gifts uploaded. This isn't all of them, but the clothes need some size adjusting before I show them off. I made everything the girls got from up this year except for a book each & the pettis from Santa (that I bought before dh lost his job).

Felt birthday cake for dd6 who's always throwing parties for BAB animals or the baby dolls.

They made each other mail out of fabric. Every scrap piece of paper or mickey paint ship in our house gets delivered until it's falling apart so I thought this might work better. They're felt on one side & white cotton on the other. I did the sewing for dd2, but dd6 did her own. They drew/wrote on the cotton side.

This is from NYE. We had friends from church over. The boys were in the living room playing rock band. Next thing I knew dd6 had her guitar out to join the fun. Her friends were playing dress up with they tutus so she wanted her petti on.

Love the felt food! and the mail Peach would love both of those. Don't you just love the rockin out pictures. hehe so cute.

Finally finished my Big Give outfit for Piper tonight. I hope she likes it. I also made a matching headband that is reversible (in second picture).

Im sure she will just love it. Its really great.

That is really nice to take the girls on one last family trip. All the outfits are beautiful as always.

I thought those of you that make the bowling shirt would like my story. I made my first bowling shirt a few months ago for DS and DH loved the shirt. He kept saying how he wanted one. I kept saying how I was already making the largest size for DS(6). So I offered to make DH easy fit pants, but he still whined that he wanted a shirt. So I finally went to Hancocks and found a pattern that would give the same look as the bowling shirt.

What do you think? My only complaint is that the brown was to thin, but the pattern was almost as easy as the bowling shirt.

I also finished a spring patchwork twirl skirt for DD, but I can't finish until I get some more elastic.

Thanks! Yes, I do. They crack me up with their guitars when we're playing.

So sweet that your dh wanted you to make him one too. Looks pretty good to me. I haven't ventured into button downs yet, but my Mom keeps asking for one. What pattern did you use? I love that skirt. So sweet & Spring-y.

 

[h518may]

This is the pattern I used for DH http://www.kwiksew.com/Catalog/cat_detail.cfm?pid=3484&Cat=Men&Level=Shirts&QL=MenShirts

I just copied both sides with the line down the front.

Very cute! I like it, great color combo.

For those that use sergers, do you set your machine as directed in the manual? Or do you set the tension totally different?

I love them both, the shirt looks great and the skirt has great colors. It gives me hope that warmer weather is on the way!

I am making a Minnie Mouse dress using the Precious Dress pattern by Carla C. I am making my GD a size 3, she wears a size 2, so I thought a size 3 by Christmas...and my DD a size 10, which is what she wears...but in a quick try they both seem to be rather tight.

Does the precious dress run small? Everything else I have made of Carla's seem to have run a little big. Ugh...I guess I'll just finish them up and see how they are after compete.

As I was trying to catch up on reading the posts, my oldest son saw the precious Mickey Mouse decoupage / patch type jeans on here. Now he wants something similar. Does anyone have any suggestions for something not too girly that I can make for him? I would love to make him something Peter Pan themed or maybe Captain Hook with pirate type fabric on the jeans. Any suggestions?

I love you bowling shirt! What does DH think? Maybe we should get Carla to do a father son shirt? haha... But that Kwiksew was perfect.

I also love your twirl skirt. I've made those, but I never thought to put a small ruffle at the bottom.

Thanks. I guess you could use it for Valentine. I didn't see it that way until you mentioned it. It was with all of the other licensed prints at JoAnns.

You can't quite see well the leg that I did decoupage on. I didn't want it too girly so kept it to only one leg (plus I needed room for more appliques) although I wouldn't hesitate to do it on both legs I don't think.

This is my favorite outfit for some reason. Sorry to all that have been around a while, I post it too often!

I did this on the back. You could just leave it blank or bring the patches around depending on the look you were going for.
