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

[squirrel]

I think I'm ready to try my first applique.

Is this correct:

I prewash both the T-Shirt and the material that I am using as the applique (Stitch).

When cutting out the Stitch I leave a little bit of extra fabric around the image-how much?

I bought Double stick fusible web so I cut out a piece larger than the fabric (Stitch) and iron to the wrong side.

Then trim the fusible web and place on T-shirt in desired spot. Iron onto the shirt so it won't move.

Stitch around the material (Stitch).

I read through the tutorial again and it mentions stabilizer do I need to use it?

Thank you for posting the AWESOME photos of some cute customs for little boys. The Jack Skellington and Peter Pan ones are nothing but precious! My son is too big for the overall shorts as he wears a size 8, but I am going to semi case your Jack Skellington with a Captain Hook themed outfit. My youngest son is only two so I went through some of big brother's old clothes and found some overall shorts I am going to attempt to embellish. Don't know what I am going to do yet, but I will do something. I may be asking more questions as I get further along in the process. Please let me know if I start driving all you experts crazy.

Free to a good home!

One slightly used son,27 years old. Won't keep a job, thinks the world owes him a living.

Eats a lot, but won't chip in for groceries. Thinks Mom still runs a taxi service. High maintenance!


I'll even through in his long haired chihuahua in the deal!

You are too funny! If you find a taker, I have a 35 yr old step-son (sounds like your son's twin) that I will throw in. Thankfully, he doesn't live with me but otherwise, they sound the same.

I just had a conversation about my ten year old son with my husband:

me: he is just so lazy!

him: yes he is

me: he'll outgrow it, right?

him: hmmm, yeah?

You post does not make me confident!

But to you! Mine doesn't eat near as much!

Luckily, he does NOT live with me. (he didn't like my rules so he moved out) He does however have my van, since he tore his car up. (I'm going to go pick it up after church tomorrow...he's not happy about that!)

When he was younger, he was the hard worker type. This is really a 180 in the last two years. However, his older brother did eventually grow up and become responsible and a very hard worker. He just waited until he was 25 to do it. Hubby says this one is a slow bloomer!

I would gladly give the chihuahua...she is a royal pain. She does not like my long haired mini doxie, who is the princess around here. Son does not pay vet bills or buy dog food, but complains that I feed her too much!

Sheesh...

(he just quit his job because they docked his pay for not coming in. He decided it would be fun to drive (my van!) up to the mountains of north GA last week in our little snow scare. He got stranded there and didn't bother to even call them! I mean...the nerve of them! Docking his pay for not coming in! How dare they!)

Maybe I'll have better luck with these younger two!

I dont know if I should laugh with you or cry with you! And I feel the same way as Steph - not gaining much hope for my 13 year old!

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

I don't have pictures right now, but DD5 was Tink for Halloween a couple of years ago. I used a Butterick pattern 4632. It is a costume and has an angel that I turned into Tink. I used a velvety material that I found on clearance so I don't know exactly what it was, but it was a nice soft fabric and a good green for Tink. I altered the pattern a bit to sew some shorts in it for modesty's sake.

I have also made the new Simplicity pattern of Disney fairies....NOT fun to make and probably not really comfortable for the park all day -- I'll find out in March because DD says she is wearing it when we go. If I can pull pictures off our server, I'll post them.

I forget who asked (sorry about that - it's been one of those weeks), the pattern I used for dd's robe was Simplicity 9968.
Here's a link to it on their site.

This is the tutorial I used to make the felt cake. She used foam, but I just stuffed mine with poly fill.

Thanks!

DD5 wants me to make her a Cinderlla costume/dress before we go to Disney. She'll want it fancy, not like an altered Simply Sweet. What pattern would you suggest?

DD7 has requested Snow White. I've made Butterick 4320 http://http://www.butterick.com/item/B4320.htm?search=4320&page=1

3 times - Dorothy, Sleeping Beauty based on their "Mulan-looking" dress, and Belle. Do I return to my old "friend" or is there something better?

Thanks!

I finished my DGD5 skirt and shirt for her birthday. She is going to be so excited. She loves to twirl and this is the first one I have made for her (....My DGD's name is Mia and she has the Mia AG Doll, so I couldn't resist making the doll one too).

I will post action shots if I get any good ones from the party next weekend.

Hi Everyone!!

So sorry to hear about your sons - lol

Well, today is Zoey's birthday - I know, she's just a dog, but hey, she's like my kid!!! So, I made her a custom - with HeatherSue's cupcake on the back!! She seems to love it!! lol

My BFF is at WDW right now. They arrived at the AKL and got upgraded to a Savannah view!! They are thrilled. She said the animals are right outside their window all the time!! They were bummed that splash mountain and test track were both closed though!! oh well!!

Beautiful creations. I need to work on Pipers MAW outfit!

I love it. I am actually sitting hear working on Maddie's birthday outfit right now. I am making her a portrait peasant and patchwork twirl with some of the same fabric. I hope to have it finished by Monday and will post some pics.

Yes, that sounds right. You do need stablizer on the back of the shirt though. Otherwise it won't be fun and won't turn out nearly as neat. I use cut away usually (not iron on) but alot of people love iron on tear away. I just don't! I gotta be different. I pin mine on and then it is sewn on once I sew. Can't wait to see when you are done!

I can't wait to see the pictures! I think Peter were the last overalls I ever made him (besides a cheater Diego pair) but I felt like he was getting too old and they were too short looking! I love to do jeans now but feel like we never get to wear them because it is too hot at WDW. If I have time I am going to do a new pair for the cruise.

Super cute what you did for Zoey! I love that you love her so much! Awesome about the friends!!

I missed the birthday outfit! It was so cute though! I should really go back and get the picture!

Stablizer-Would lightweight fusible be okay to use? It's iron on.

If not, then I won't be able to work on it tonight.

Don't tell my DD an altered Simply Sweet isn't fancy!
