Disboutiquers Part 20 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[MinnieVanMom]

CASE away! I was copying Disney anyway! I used Carla's easy fit pants for the pants and then just bought some gold cording stuff to put down the side of each leg. The jacket was more complicated because I used a commercial pattern. I made the jacket about 2 years ago using a Captain Hook costume pattern and modifying it a lot. But, I'm sure there is some other pattern you could use to make it more basic.

Ooh...I wonder if you could use the precious dress pattern with a non-poofy sleeve, elongated, and wear it backwards?

I bought the gold cording that I added to the shoulders and sewed it on in 2 rows.

Then I just draped the other cold cording (the same stuff I put on the pant legs) across the front. I hope I'm making sense!

I showed DS the picture and asked if he would like a prince charming outfit, I got ummmm no. I said how about a T shirt with a design? No mom...never any eye contact or even that he was paying attention but the answer for now is no, he doesn't want any new customs. Oh wait, he asked if the custom could have a bionicle on it.

WOW!!! That is your 3rd quilt!!!??? You rock!!

Thank you very much, it was very hard and I learned so much, like how to truly utilize the seam ripper.

Love this! I'm more of a quilter too. One of these days, I'll actually take some photos of the quilts I've made and post them. Unfortunately that is about item #52 on my to do list right now.

I can't wait to see your pictures, I really love quilting.

Fantastic. This is amazing!!

Thanks for the compliments, it was a labour of love and I love this quilt.

That is fabulous, April! WOW!!!

Heather, thanks so much for your kind remarks, this was a hard project and I am excited to see it once it is sandwiched and binded.

You FINISHED it!!! I'm sorry I wasnt more help- this is gorgeous!

Nicole, you were great help the entire time, now you know why I had questions. I think it is 6 borders.

Double wow!!!

I still need to do the backing and then I may stitch in the ditch or send it out.

Thanks friends, I don't post much now as my quilts take so long to get finished. This one still needs the backing and then stitched and binding. I have one I am working on and a class in the morning.

I have a shirt that only needs buttons and it just sits there as I sew quilts.

Nicole they are all just for CUTE! You did a super job and the family is going to love it all.

I love everything! It makes me a little jealous, as I have no time to sew anything lately. And I don't have our trip to plan for, because we couldn't go during spring break this year. Oh well, we'll go Memorial Weekend, so I can't whine.

Anyway, I did have time to finally figure out those lanyards so I updated my blog (link is in my signature) for directions in case anyone is interested. I think they would be cute for teacher gifts.

Well, gotta finish packing because even though we can't go to Disney this year we are still going to have fun!

I altered one of DS's oxford shirts for his PC jacket. Super easy (I mean, if I can do it ). Lots of embellishing!! I'm working on a new technique for this year (he already asked if he could be PC again so he could "make the girls scream" ), and I bought a bigger shirt so I could make the jacket longer. It was a little shorter than I would have liked, but it took me way too long to make it, so I decided to be happy with it rather than make a new one.

I definitely suggest the PC costume at 1900! My little guy was the hit of the night. I show our 1900 YouTube to anyone even considering it because we had so much fun!!!

finished my 4th shirt for the give....

for the men

Those are GREAT!!! I love how crisp and perfect they look. <== (thumbs up, but also green with envy!)



I hate that the school system blocks most pictures. I have to avoid this thread altogether at work.

We got a deep fryer for a wedding gift (my husband registered for it)
I havent used it since I did apple cider doughnuts about 5 years ago...but I couldnt use frozen or canned.....is there a recipe to make them from scratch?


i plan to make my grandmother's sticky bun recipe on Sat for Easter...yummy!!!!!!
Takes all day to make the dough- but soooo worth it!

Im sure there is but I don't know it. It is too easy to do w/ raw bread dough.

Those are so cute, they came out great!

I spent this weekend working on this Cinderella dress...

Gorgeous! You did fabulous!

And a tee for my dd too!

[/SIZE][/COLOR]

Super, super, super cute! All of it! Love the Feliz the mostest!

I finally have something new to post after going a few months without anything. I have done other sewing (like the panels in the last pic but nothing worth posting).

My DGD loves this and had to wear it to church today, although it really wasn't the best weather for it.

Front
The underskirt is eyelit and I also used it for the sleeves in the shirt.

Darling! She looks just too cute!

Lovely! one of these days, I'll learn how to quilt!

Finished the Vida w/ the butt ruffles FINALLY!!!. Whhhhhew! What an adventure.

DD loves it. She likes to twirl in it.

Thanks to all who helped me through this dress.

Awww, that turned out great! Love the frog!

Here are my first few attempts as some pillowcase dresses for my DD2...They look kind of OK from far away, but once you get up close, you can see the er, umm...lack of straight lines!

Oh, so cute! My favorite is the black, white and pink one!

I just had a special request PM to repost this outfit, so I am obliged to do so. That, and I don't get to post nearly as many pictures as I'd like to anymore. So, here's the outfit I made Tessa for our trip last October. The skirt is the twirl scallopini and the top is a pattern I made up a few years ago. But, a modified simply sweet would look much the same.

Teresa got such a great reaction out of Lady Tremaine in this shirt!

LOVE that outfit! And Sawyer is the cutest Prince Charming! And Teresa is the cutest lady in a Lady Tremaine shirt!

This is the back why this one showed up first I don't know. This is the Vida.

Awesome!

finished my 4th shirt for the give....

for the men

Those look great! Love the appliques on the tie-dye!

 

[100AcrePrincess]

Ok, so I'm ridiculously behind. Again. How does this keep happening???

Anyway.

I had to share.

We had our first ob appt. Friday. I went expecting a little lima bean with a heartbeat & instead we got a teeny tiny baby with arms & legs that were moving around & a sweet little alien face.

 

[Diz-Mommy]

I love that Goofy design!! I'm gonna have to get that one once I have my computer back...I'm on my boys' kiddy computer right now. I can't even being to tell you how big of a bummer it is to be separated from my embroidery designs!! Its already been a week and I'm getting the shakes

Psst!! 14 days till I find out the baby's gender!! THINK PINK YA'LL!!

 

[TinkerbelleMom]

Im sure there is but I don't know it. It is too easy to do w/ raw bread dough.

How about bread dough from scratch, then deep fried? I'd think if freezer/fridge store bought works, home made would be even better!



I've been slammed busy at home, we're in the process of redoing the floors here, entire house. I've had to muck out closets to get ready for that, and pretty much pack up like we're moving because all the furniture needs to be moved into the garage (which we also cleaned out), and just sneaking into my sewing room as I can with just a bit of guilt! I haven't taken pics yet, but I did get Rebecca's Easter dress done, it's a Simply Sweet with a stripwork skirt, and on the strips I did Heather's Easter set...I used everything except the filled peeps, I just ran out of room! And only one of the phrases on the front. It was lots of fun! I also finished my first Vida and started the LisaZoe skirt. Sshhh...DH thought I was in here to work on organizing this room, it's a wreck! I'm saving it for last because I know it's a mess, and I sort of don't want to give up my sanity spot until the last possible moment.

I love all the stuff posted lately...sorry I can't comment on it photo by photo, there have been just so many, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings because it's all so great! Welcome to the newbies, this is a fun place to be!

This is so great Wendy! It was fun seeing the pictures and makes me want to get involved with a big give in the near future!

I just got all our dining reservations for Sept in 20 mins. I love the online reservations! It worked so much better than last year. Now it is time to go back to sleep. Then I will start planning outfits!

I had the same experience! It was awesome! It almost seemed too easy!


For the person asking about Tink Ribbon....I got mine at Hobby Lobby.

 

[billwendy]

finished my 4th shirt for the give....

for the men

All adorable Nicole!!!

I saw Tink ribbon at Joann's and at Walmart.

All the little prince charmings are adorable!!

Im starting to get excited about our trip!!!!!!!

 

[princesskayla]

Here are my first few attempts as some pillowcase dresses for my DD2...They look kind of OK from far away, but once you get up close, you can see the er, umm...lack of straight lines!

Don't know why the last one is so big...I changed the size on photobucket?..

Oh, and they only look crooked and distorted...the angle of picture taking was not optimal!

Those are all I have been brave enough to try thus far, since I can't even get them right. I will be attempting more though!

They look great, you really did a nice job.

Finished the Vida w/ the butt ruffles FINALLY!!!. Whhhhhew! What an adventure.

DD loves it. She likes to twirl in it.

Thanks to all who helped me through this dress.

Very cute - love the 3D tutu!!!

Heather - I just love the cinderella dress with all of your designs on it. It just looks so custom!!

Congratulations to the new mommy's on this board!!

 

[mom2OandE]

Wow! You all do an amazing job. I'm so impressed. I have friends who are leaving for Disney on Wed and these are some dresses I made for them.

This one was for their not quite 2 year old.

This one for the almost 7 year old. The three layer circle skirt is super twirly.

[eecteacher82]

Ok, I think you ladies have given me the guts (or am I just nuts?!) to try a skirt for Olivia. What is the absolute easiest skirt I could do for her, that she can maybe even do a bit of twirling? lol The simpler the better! I have a couple of cute Disney fabrics that I think would look cute in a skirt. Thanks in advance!

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

Hi Everyone!!! I just wanted to show a few picturew of our Disney planning meeting with Daniel's family that we finally had tonight!! They really have no idea what they want to do. And, when Daniel wasnt in the room, his parents shared with me how worried they are about his endurance. We will have his wheelchair though, so that will help. I also got to know Stephen and John a lot better so that I can be more helpful with them. THey were just adorable. And, by the end of the evening Samantha was even showing me things that she had in her Big Give Bag and Sarah is just the sweetest girl ever! So, Im so happy that we got together finally!!!

I'll post more pictures over on the Big Give boards!! Thanks so much everyone. And we did open everything, but as much as I tried, I know that there are a few things that either I didnt capture or Samantha would have flipped out if we made her change clothes again -lol!!!

Here we go....
THe whole crew in our MAW Family shirts!!!!

Samantha with 2 or 3 layers of clothes on - she wouldnt take any of them back off!!

Stephen

John ( who was THRILLED to put on everything - so cute)

Daniel - LOVED opening and taking his time to look at every single thing!

Sarah - so sweet -

Miscellaneous....

THank you all so much my dear friends - you all feel like family to me. The Big Give is an amazing experience, and I was touched by all of your generosity. Although all the gifts arent pictured, they were all opened with excitement and ooohs and ahhs by all. April, we are saving the Eagles shirts till right before we go as an extra surprise if Daniel has a send off party. This is what the Big Give looked like in my spare bedroom!!!

Thank you for sharing the pictures! They brought tears to my eyes! It's amazing to see all of the boxes piled up!

Here is my 3 month quilt that did take 3 months. I learned a lot by making this quilt as it is only my 3rd quilt ever. I use to make customs for our trips and a few gives but quilting has become my new obsession or insanity, I haven't figured out which one yet.

Amazing Quilt! You did a beautiful Job!!!


I love all the clothes posted too! I wish I had some more time to post. I need to finish up a blanket for my best friend's baby. She was born almost a month ago and I haven't finished it yet.

Adorable! How did you make the flowers? Are there directions online?

 

[Diz-Mommy]

I was thinking about making some raglan's for myself...so if I were to make a patern from a maternity shirt I like the fit of does anyone have any pointers on how to do that?? I have the Carla C pattern for little kids, but I don't think she has one for adults, right?
