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

[100AcrePrincess]

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!

Nini

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.

I love it!

I finished Piper's dress and hope she will like it. Here is her dress:

Here is the Stitch shirt I made for my son. (Of course, I ended up making another for my other son.)

Thanks for letting me post

Such a sweet dress and Stitch is always cool! I know they'll love them.

wow, I have been a little busy! whew....

ok.. couple more have to upload pics...

Lori

Very cute! I love first one.

Here is my first applique-I should have started with something easier. Still it didn't turn out too bad.

My niece loved it. I had her close her eyes and then I got the camera ready so I could get a picture of her face when she first saw the shirt.

My sister okayed me to post her reaction:

Good job! It looks like she loves it!

Finally took pictures of Ella in her new Tink custom! Anyone have trouble with the Emma Swing Top running small? Ella's a pretty solid 5 in most clothes and can even wear some of her 4's still. I made the 5/6 size and went to try it on her and could barely get it buttoned! She said "it's too tight under my pits, mama." So I had to alter it a bit - I just put a button hole on each side and make an extra little placket for two buttons to button under the shirt. Then I just sewed some more buttons on to cover up the extra button hole. That leaves the back more open than I'd like, but at least it will be nice for WDW in June, I guess!

- I wish the applique showed up a little better - I probably should have used a more subdued print or a solid, but I've had this in my stash for a very long time and wanted to finally use it!

This is her best "Tink" pose!

I like the applique on that fabric. It's very Tink.

I haven't had a chance to read to catch up because the girls and I spent all afternoon at Joanns hunting bargains and buying princess fabric. But, I wanted to share what I've gotten done this week...

First up is an Ariel outfit for my younger Ariel loving dd - (I bought the shirred fabric and added straps)

Next is a Pooh storybook skirt for the same 5 year old I am going to applique a shirt with Piglet - her favorite.

And her Nemo skirt. She'll have a T-shirt with one of those Fab-liques on it that is Nemo.

And finally, a little Pooh skirt for my 4 year old friend who is going with us to Disney.

Now, I have another Minnie dress, another Nemo skirt, and another Pooh skirt to make. Always a fun time sewing Disney clothes

I like them all, but I have a very soft spot for Pooh. In fact, dd3 told me today that I needed to go ahead & make her Pooh outfit now & not wait for our trip.

 

[DisneyMOM09]

Yikes! We just decided to move our October trip up to April! Exactly 90 days and I don't even have a game plan! Luckily I just bought Minnie dot fabric on Friday, so at least my lovely girls will have 1 custom. Who knows how many more I will decide to make! We have one reservation at Cape May and nothing else planned yet. Our last vacation I planned for over a year! I cannot believe I 'll only have 3 months to plan! Must go plan!

I had the same issue and only used the pattern once. I LOVED the look of this pattern, but I really don't like the girls to be exposed. I just don't like their shoulders showing or their back. They don't even own tank tops, I haven't used the pattern since...sniff...
Your daughter is growing up so fast. She is so stunning with all of that dark hair. Wonderful job on the top and skirt. It's gorgeous!

 

[CastleCreations]

Thanks for everyone's comments on the coat. It wasn't too hard, just making something with a lining, makes you feel like you're making it twice.

 

[CastleCreations]

Guess where we went today?

 

[disneymomof1]

Lost my quote, dang it, but love everything
Castle and Steph- love the coats you both recently made, absolutely beautiful !!!
Glorib-love the tink set, I just bought that, thanks for the heads up on sizing.
eeyore-love all your recent creations, but then again I love everything you create !!!

Question, any of you from the Savannah, GA area? It really looks like DH may be offered a very good job there and we may be moving. Not sure about good family friendly developments, good school systems, etc. If he does take it we will probably let him move down there first and see about areas and then we can follow later, I have a really good job and don't want to leave it if he is not going to like the job.

Planning a trip to NYC for DD birthday in April, so I have to start working on an outfit for her and her AG doll. We have Lion King tickets and then we will hit the AG Doll Store.

I have a similar aversion to this pattern. I do own the pattern, and I even started making it at one point, I've not completed it. I wasn't a real fan of how it went together, and I don't really care for the open back. I had planned to put ties down the back. I ended up seeing a pattern posted several times on another forum that, in my opinion, has a very similar look and is closed in the back. It also has different lengths so it can be made as a dress! I can't wait to make it up!
It is a Children's Corner pattern - it's called Callie

So cute. I am just starting to cut for a peasant and a patchwork skirt today too. Although, with very different colors.

Where did you get the cupcake fabric? I love that one. My DD just saw it and said she wanted that skirt. I was going to make her something for her birthday in March anyway.

Thanks...the fabric came from JoAnns. They have several different coordinating prints with the cupcakes on it.

wow, I have been a little busy! whew....

ok.. couple more have to upload pics...

Lori

Here are the other 2!! Still have one more valentines set to finish!! and then on to easter, spring and st patricks day!

Lori

Lori - all of them are so cute.

Love it!! It's funny how many of us have kids and gdkids w/ birthdays in January! DD's birthday dinner is tonight!

Happy birthday to your little one too!! Post pics of her in her birthday outfit that you made.

Here is my first applique-I should have started with something easier. Still it didn't turn out too bad.

My niece loved it. I had her close her eyes and then I got the camera ready so I could get a picture of her face when she first saw the shirt.

I actually like the outfit a lot (even the open back). It will be appreciated in the heat. And I love the Tink pose.

Love the skirts. My DGD's love skirts. I just ordered the skort pattern from Carla C and can't wait to make it. Great use of the storybook print. I have often looked at it but knew my DGD was too old to make the actual book. This is a cute idea.

I love it!

Thanks.

I posted a few weeks ago that I am cutting up a 60+ yr old quilt and making it into 3 baby quilts. I was able to go to a quilt store yesterday and they had NEW Vintage 1930-40's prints. I was so excited. They weren't cheap though. I also found out they have a vintage "soaking" solution that will bring the colors back brighter. The quilt is now in the "soak".

For anyone who quilts ....have you used this before on old quilts? And my other question is....I haven't given my customer (my boss) the cost yet. What $$$ range would you do this in for all 3? I am putting a couple new borders around, then piano key pattern, then another border and bind them. Any suggestion?

 

[dezimber]

The loops are showing on the top of the fabric as I am sewing. I have a Singer 9410 without a manual. The online manual didn't offer any help.
Thanks

Front:

WONDERFUL!!! As much as I love the Vida, my favorite is Donald. My boys would not wear most the bowling shirts I have seen posted, but my 4 yr old one would LOVE that shirt

I have that cherry fabric on the washer right now waiting to go in tomorrow I wish I had seen the cupcake one when I bought it. Those outfits are dear and I really like the green mixed in. It makes the whole thing pop! Great job!

Here is the Stitch shirt I made for my son. (Of course, I ended up making another for my other son.)

Thanks for letting me post

Great job! Thanks FOR posting...how do you think the rest of us get our inspiration?

wow, I have been a little busy! whew....

Those pants are great! Are they easy fits or the trouser pant? They look so slim

Great!! I love the skirt. Thanks for the heads-up on sizing on the Emma! I intend to buy this pattern this month as Catie LIVES in halters and A-lines in the summer. I made a lot of halters from the "strappy sundress" pattern last year but I won't do it again. First, I HATE making long skinny straps. Second, it tended to loosen itself constantly. I really like this pattern on so any advice is great appreciated. I also LOVE the skirt pattern...nice change from the twirls.


LASTLY, someone PLEASE tell me how to change the pics to thumbnails in my multi-quotes so I don't take up half the page

Thanks!
MMM

And I thought it was me! I started two of them (at the same time) and got so disgusted and frustrated I just stopped. I assumed it was because I had been sewing so much at the time but even now when I go back I have interest in finishing it up!

I would love to see the back of the Children's Corner pattern. It is cuter in my opinion.

 

[sahm1000]

Whew! I was way behind! You guys sure are chatty! Our weekends always seem to be so busy that I easily get behind. I don't think I got a chance to tell everyone that I did end up getting airline tickets for my in-laws for our trip to Disney on Wednesday night. I started watching the rates and they went back down to the same price they had been! I was so excited! Not so excited that I ended up purchasing my DH's sister and her husband's tickets too though...but oh well, she is supposed to pay us back but we'll see. So thanks to everyone's advice I was able to get them for around $150 roundtrip. Thanks!

 

[DisneyKings]

I got a brother 780D on Friday & here's what I have been up to: My 1st project is covering up a stain:

then I was brave enough to try an applique:

my next applique didn't go so well, I think maybe the hoop wasn't tight enough?

So, I covered that one up with this:

DD4 insisted on Mickey NOT Minnie, so I tried to girly it up. To get pants on them, for the picture they insisted on pajama pants! LOL

 

[Stephres]

Megan's favorite right now is Littlest Pet Shop toys but her Zhu Zhu pet is a close second. She likes that she can tuck him into a purse and take him wherever she goes. She really doesn't play with his accessories that much.

Anyway, she decided he needed a house and picked out this non-zhu zhu pet looking fabric (at least to me) for me to make him a house. I used Carla's new pattern.

Then this is her Zhu Zhu pet outfit, courtesy of Frou Frou by HeatherSue! I used chenille ribbon as a trim for the jeans and shirt. It will get fuzzier each time I wash and dry it. I bought a huge roll of it at a quilt shop like two years ago and still have plenty. It is great when you want to jazz an outfit up though.

I am surprised and happy that as she gets older, there is plenty Megan wants me to sew for her.

Shannon, I really like that Callie pattern but have searched and can't see what it looks like in the back. I think it is too young for Megan though, and it only goes up to size 6. I have seen it several times around the net and always thought it is super cute, especially with the piping! I am thinking of trying to alter the back of that ycmt pattern like Lisa did to add elastic and make it closed. She didn't do a tutorial about how she did that, did she?

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.

I love the colors you used together! Great job!

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

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

How fun! I need to make my nephew dog one!

I finished Piper's dress and hope she will like it. Here is her dress:

Here is a better view of the appliques on the bottom.

Here is the Stitch shirt I made for my son. (Of course, I ended up making another for my other son.)

Thanks for letting me post

The dress is so sweet. It reminds me of a gymboree dress I saw. Love the stitch top!

wow, I have been a little busy! whew....

Lori

Great outfits! I love how the pants and lilo are the same material.

Here are the other 2!! Still have one more valentines set to finish!! and then on to easter, spring and st patricks day!

Lori

Great Valentines outfits! The second one is just awesome. So boho chic, as my 6 year old would say!

First up is an Ariel outfit for my younger Ariel loving dd - (I bought the shirred fabric and added straps)

Now, I have another Minnie dress, another Nemo skirt, and another Pooh skirt to make. Always a fun time sewing Disney clothes

Love it all. Great idea to use the blanket binding as the yoke on the skirt. Ingenious!

Great job on your first projects with the machine! I have had a few appliques do the same thing to me. Sometimes it was me not lining up the material right, sometimes the hoop. Keep at it!

The boxes are so neat. Are they hard to make? I am thinking I can make a whole bunch for all of Sara beth's little pet shop animals and little ponys. How old is Meaghan? I hope my girls let me sew for them for a long time!

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

I am getting ready to order some thread from marathon for my new singer ce-150 machine and I wanted to get some pre-wound bobbins like a lot of you recommend. I can't figure out which bobbins I need! There is nothing in my manual or anything. Any recommendations?

I'll check my pattern and see if there's a pic of the back and scan it for you all.

You know, I remember people talking about Lisa's alter, but I don't remember seeing it. LISA - are you here? Can you show us again? (I think I'll facebook her and see if she can help!)
