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

[Granna4679]

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.

Oh so sweet! I love seeing them for the first time....it really makes you fall in love with them at that moment. I assume the date in the lower right hand corner is the due date? That is my birthday!! Yay...its a great day!

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.

Closeup of the flower pin.

These are just too cute. I love the flower too! Please share your secret.

 

[mom2OandE]

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

The flower on the smaller dress was super simple. I just gathered it really really tight until it started to wind on it's own. Then I stitched the bottom together and covered it with a felt circle. THen I hand sewed the pin on.

The second - big girl - dress came from a tutorial. Here it is:

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!

One of the easiest twirly skirts you can make is a circle skirt. Here is a tutorial to walk you through it:
http://www.whatthecraft.com/tuts/circ.htm

If you have a serger you can use a rolled hem to hem it. Otherwise I would use bias tape. It can be really difficult to try and hem a circle skirt in a traditional manner. This really is very easy.

Another fun easy skirt is this one:

I'm a newbie to this board and VERY new at sewing, but exicted to learn from all of you talented ladies! I have managed to finish a few pillowcase dresses for my DD2, but I honestly can't sew in a straight line most of the time! Can't wait to build my skills and make some cute things for my little princess!

LOL...Sew a straight line? I certainly can't!



..............................

Is it really possible...we have been QUIET for almost 10 hours?


Wow, I think that might be a record of some sorts!

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.

Wow! Quilts overwhelm me. It seems like so many pieces to keep track of. Yours is beautiful.

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.

This dress was gorgeous on a hanger! Seeing it on your beautiful daughter is even better.

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!

I think they look great!

I finally have pictures to share. I never seem to be able to take pictures. The first is for my niece for Easter the second is just because she needed a princess dress. Just cause Aunt Lynn could. I can't wait to see her in them this weekend.
This one is her Easter dress. I LOVE the simply sweet pattern. It was sooooo easy

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

For some reason this one looks crooked the dress is not. It must be that bad photographer(me).

These are all so pretty.

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

for the men

I love Goofy They are all awesome.

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!!!

That's amazing. I would have never guessed that you started with a shirt. Thanks for sharing that tip.

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

Congratulations!

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!

I can't wait to see pictures.

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.

Closeup of the flower pin.

Those look so fun and comfortable, I bet your friend is thrilled.


For myself, I finished the top of a sleeveless, collar less (is that a word) precious dress, now I just have to add the skirt. Certainly I can get that finished before Easter, right? LOL.

Love it - I like the princess fabric - Where did you find the diamond pattern?

When you get more courage -after you do such a great job on your first skirt - try YouCanMakeThis. com It has some wonderful instructions that walk you step by step with pictures.

The girls and Tom are wonderful on this board and can help with anything!!!

Sewing emergency alert!! My 5x7 hoop for my futura CE- 250 broke!!!! I was in the middle of making easter shirts for a friend of mine and the sewing machine ate the shirt, popped it out of the hoop (the screw was stripped and hanging by a thread - the repair kit that I ordered came in today - a little too late) and when I went to dislodge it , somehow it cracked!!!!! I then got really mad, threw a fit like a three year old and broke it even more. Not my best moment but I strangely felt better with the hoop in fifteen pieaces as opposed to just two. My next project is a few more Easter shirts for my kiddos and my Big Give - I wanted to do all of those today. Oh well. I ordered two more hoop from some place in Texas. I guess I will just have to sew in the meantime. Sorry for the post - I just wanted to rant to people that understand. My husband doesn't have a clue!!

 

[princesskayla]

Sorry for the double post - but here a couple of my baby's pictures from yesterday. She had a wonderful first birthday. I whipped up the outfit that morning - thankfully before my hoop broke!!

 

[teresajoy]

Hello Everyone
This is my first post, I stumbled across your site by accident and have been an addicted lurker for about three weeks. Let me say i am so inspired by your group and i have learned so much from you. I have had my vida pattern for 3 months now and too afraid to attempt it. Last night I got up enough nerve and did it. All becuase of you ladies. Thanks. I will post a picture soon. I just wanted to give credit to you for being such a giving group of people, and soooo talented.
Alicia

Get your post count up to 10, so you can post pictures! We love pictures!

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.

Since I'm feeling nostalgic for our trip, and I'm regretting not having written a trip report, here are a few more pictures from our October free dining extravaganza visit to 1900 Park Fare!
Me and the kids with Cinderella:

The kids with Prince Charming. Sawyer wasn't scared this time! Darn it!

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

On a final note, Tessa and I made beignets from her Princess Tiana cookbook that she got at the book fair. They were awful! I've never fried anything and I used canola oil. It made the whole house smell like fish and they had a fishy flavor. I suppose I should have used a different kind of oil?

That was such a fun trip! I'm glad you posted some pictures.

Canola oil = YUCK!

I once accused Brian of pooring used oil that he fryed fish in back into our oil bottle, because that stuff tastes SOOO SOOOO SOOOO NASTY! But, then we realized Canola oil is just gross. (probably didn't know I'd have such strong feelings about oil, did you!)

Thank you. You are always so sweet
.

I was going to make a smart remark about that comment, but you know what? You are right!

Where were you before I tried to make them from scratch? LOL! Like Tessa said, it doesn't matter that they didn't taste good because we had fun making them! Next time I'll use the frozen rolls, vegetable oil, and powdered sugar in a bag method! Thank you!!

Oh, that is so sweet!
That sounds like how mom use to make doughnuts, doesn't it! With the fried biscuit dough. YUMMY YUMMY! I made some for Lydia last week. I got lazy and didn't cut the whole out of the middle. Who knew I was making beignets! I even put powdered sugar on them.

The Princess & the Frog is a great movie, but it is still a very.....commercialized New Orleans/cajun film. It isn't really like that over here, so don't think we are all a bunch of "lightning bugs".

Don't trust their recipes either. That is commercialized food, not good food. If you need anymore cajun cooking help pm me. My mawmaw can make almost anything taste good.

Thanks for the compliment on the Vida & DD.

Could you come up to Michigan and cook us some yummy food??

I finally have pictures to share. I never seem to be able to take pictures. The first is for my niece for Easter the second is just because she needed a princess dress. Just cause Aunt Lynn could. I can't wait to see her in them this weekend.
This one is her Easter dress. I LOVE the simply sweet pattern. It was sooooo easy

Soooo adorable!!!! These are beautiful!

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!

These look great Steph!!!
Have you left yet? See you soon!!!!

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.

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.

That is so cute!!! Could you share the link to the YouTube video pretty please? I'd love to see it!

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

Aww, thanks!!!!

I'm pretty sure this was before he threw up in my camera bag.

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

Like others have said, the circle skirt is great. CarlaC has a great pattern available with a circle skirt, cute gathered ruffey skirt and a pleated skirt (Way easier than it looks!).

LOL...Sew a straight line? I certainly can't!

Is it really possible...we have been QUIET for almost 10 hours?

Straight lines are WAY overrated! That's why I like making clothes, you don't need to be so worried about sewing straight!

When you get more courage -after you do such a great job on your first skirt - try YouCanMakeThis. com It has some wonderful instructions that walk you step by step with pictures.

I was going to tell you that I've seen people tape together a broken hoop, but it sounds like you are a little beyond that repair method!

I found the ZOE skirt up on YCMT this morning I was so happy for Lisa.

She is precious!!

I found the ZOE skirt up on YCMT this morning I was so happy for Lisa.

Yay for Lisa!!

 

[100AcrePrincess]

Oh so sweet! I love seeing them for the first time....it really makes you fall in love with them at that moment. I assume the date in the lower right hand corner is the due date? That is my birthday!! Yay...its a great day!

Congratulations!

Wow! Isn't that just amazing.

Thanks, guys. That is the due date. It's about 3 days before what I was estimating so I guess we're both about right. That first ultrasound when I get to see the heartbeat always makes it more real for me. There's nothing seeing them. And to actually be able to see a baby and not just a little blob was so cool! We just sat there amazed while the baby waved it's arms & kicked. When I think that it's only about an inch long right now - wow!

 

[HeatherSue]

For some reason this one looks crooked the dress is not. It must be that bad photographer(me).

These are both super cute!! Great job! Is that paisley on the 1st dress? I love paisleys! I'd like bigger pictures, though!

Thank you Heather! I needed inpsiration!

Too bad Sawyer wasn't scared this time. That YouTube video of 1900PF was hilarious!

You're welcome, my dear! You know how I love to post pictures! Now I should post a couple of videos!

Love all the pics! We are planning to try Park Fare in Dec. I may just have to make t-shirts for myself and DDIL when DGD wears her Cinderella dress. I love all your "cuties" and will definitely be purchasing some soon.

I get so many good ideas here that I don't have enough time to make them all or enough days for DGD to wear them all!

Thank you! I really like 1900 Park Fare for dinner. It's my favorite character meal so far!

Heather- Love the Cinderella dress you just posted...gorgeous!

Thank you!! It's one of my favorites. That and the pink Cinderella dress I made a few years back. I think I have a theme to my favorites...

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.

Boys! What are we going to do with them? I don't look forward to the day that Sawyer doesn't want to wear things I've made!

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

I love this design! You do such a nice job with these! I would have quoted the other 2 pictures, but I felt that would have been shameless self-promotion.

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'll have to check out your blog!! But, then again, I have a house guest coming today and I should really get ready for her and her two adorable kids!

STEPHRES IS COMING TO MY HOUSE TODAY!!!!!!!
Can you tell we're excited?? Tessa and Sawyer keep asking me every 2 minutes when we're going to the airport to pick them up!

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.

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!!!

I adore that Prince Charming outfit! Of course, seeing your beautiful kids doesn't hurt the cuteness factor, either! I want to see this youtube video!! Could you post a link?

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

Thank you!! Teresa is the cutest lady in a Lady Tremaine shirt! LOL!

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.

Awwwww!!!!!!! She/He is SOO cute! Seriously, I can tell just by looking at this picture.

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

How exciting!!!!

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!

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 can't wait to see pictures of the Vida!!!

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

Thank you!

Those are too cute! I love that flower pin. It add just the right touch!

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!

The absolute easiest skirt would be a straight skirt with an elastic waist. But, if you'd like a nice pattern for a skirt, you can try CarlaC's perfectly preppy skirts pattern from youcanmakthis.com.

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?

Not yet, but we're trying to talk her into it!

For myself, I finished the top of a sleeveless, collar less (is that a word) precious dress, now I just have to add the skirt. Certainly I can get that finished before Easter, right? LOL.

Yes! You can do it! I'll look forward to the pictures!

I lost the beginning of this quote. But, I had to tell you that you gave me a good giggle thinking about your breaking your hoop into little pieces!

Sorry for the double post - but here a couple of my baby's pictures from yesterday. She had a wonderful first birthday. I whipped up the outfit that morning - thankfully before my hoop broke!!

Goodness gracious- she is beautiful!! I like this picture the best. What wonderful photos! The outfit you made turned out so cute, too! I can't believe you just whipped it up before the photo shoot!
ETA: Oops, I quoted the wrong picture. I really liked the profile picture with the different photos down the side.

1. Canola oil = YUCK!
I once accused Brian of pooring used oil that he fryed fish in back into our oil bottle, because that stuff tastes SOOO SOOOO SOOOO NASTY! But, then we realized Canola oil is just gross. (probably didn't know I'd have such strong feelings about oil, did you!)

2. I'm pretty sure this was before he threw up in my camera bag.

1. Now you tell me!
2. This had me laughing for a good long while! I really wish I had written a trip report. I keep forgetting about these things!

I found the ZOE skirt up on YCMT this morning I was so happy for Lisa.

YAY!!!!! That is exciting!! I'm going to go look at it!

Hi Everyone,,,

I was just wondering if you could keep Daniel in your thoughts this time tomorrow. They are going to be having a team meeting at the hospital and although this isnt devastating to us grown ups, he is going to be bummed - Im pretty sure they are going to tell him he has limitations to the rides he is able to go on, which includes his beloved roller coasters......He and his parents will not be expecting this at all - I have to say after seeing his strength the other night, Im so happy that they are going to put some restrictions on him - but, how are we going to not take him on rides but let his siblings go on and sheesh - its going to be a bit ugly at their house tomorrow night I think. Just pray that he will be open and understanding that it is for his health and protection of his neck. Plus his balance system is so messed up they are concerned even the lighter rides will make him feel sick....Im hoping this doesnt take the magical feeling they have away and that the focus on what he can do rather than what he cant....But, to a 12 year old - yikes - this isnt going to be good news.

Thanks friends.......

 

[Rosiekins]

So so so excited! I just found and bought the Meghan peasant dress/top pattern (adult sizes) from YCMT. I am heading to the Fabric store in a bit to make my first try. I was thrilled to find a grown up pattern I loved on there and can't wait to make lots of tops and dresses. I am wondering if anyone has pictures of it done for adults? Also my only concern is when making it in to a dress is looks a little straight down and I would like it to be a little more flowy. Do you think I could add fabric and then gather it? Any ideas? TIA!

 

[lollipopsandgiggles]

ok please excuse the fact that i don't know how to copy the previous comments from others i will figure it all out. I love those outfits. Love the froggy Vida What a great job. So cute. I love all the Cinderella dress and such tooo cute. I am partial to Minnie I call my little daughter Minnie Mia.
Need Help.
My daughter wants to be Cruella Diville for her Bday next month. I need ideas. I can sew , i paint on clothes even better, I want so bad to do a hand applique but to afraid to try that for the birhtday party. Maybe some ideas or examples might help. Thanks Ladies.

 

[lollipopsandgiggles]

Oh and thanks everyone for the kind welcome. Can't wait to post some pictures.

 

[lollipopsandgiggles]

Love all the pics! We are planning to try Park Fare in Dec. I may just have to make t-shirts for myself and DDIL when DGD wears her Cinderella dress. I love all your "cuties" and will definitely be purchasing some soon.

They are going to be having a team meeting at the hospital and although this isnt devastating to us grown ups, he is going to be bummed - Im pretty sure they are going to tell him he has limitations to the rides he is able to go on, which includes his beloved roller coasters......He and his parents will not be expecting this at all - I have to say after seeing his strength the other night, Im so happy that they are going to put some restrictions on him - but, how are we going to not take him on rides but let his siblings go on and sheesh - its going to be a bit ugly at their house tomorrow night I think. Just pray that he will be open and understanding that it is for his health and protection of his neck. Plus his balance system is so messed up they are concerned even the lighter rides will make him feel sick....Im hoping this doesnt take the magical feeling they have away and that the focus on what he can do rather than what he cant....But, to a 12 year old - yikes - this isnt going to be good news.

Thanks friends.......

I will keep him in my prayers for understanding. I know for a 12 yr old boy saying no to the "cool" rides will be difficult, but hopefully there will be lots of other things that he will be able to do that will allow him to overlook what he is "missing".

Is he into drawing at all? We took some drawing classes in the animation building at DHS which were really cool. Maybe that is something that he can do separately from his siblings while they do RRC and ToT. They were every 20mins and always a different character. It is also in a nice air conditioned building which is nice for anyone to take a break in.

So so so excited! I just found and bought the Meghan peasant dress/top pattern (adult sizes) from YCMT. I am heading to the Fabric store in a bit to make my first try. I was thrilled to find a grown up pattern I loved on there and can't wait to make lots of tops and dresses. I am wondering if anyone has pictures of it done for adults? Also my only concern is when making it in to a dress is looks a little straight down and I would like it to be a little more flowy. Do you think I could add fabric and then gather it? Any ideas? TIA!

I can't wait to see what you make. I like to sew for myself too, not just the kids. I tell the kids I like to sew for me, because I don't complain about trying the stuff on to make sure it fits. I have that pattern but haven't made anything yet. After I finish Easter dresses, the next thing is going to be for me.
