Disboutiquers Part 23 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[ms_mckenna]

I like it with the petti. I think a sash will be really cute with it too and the bloomers!

Thanks so much

I like it both ways! I think the sash and bloomers will be adorable.

Thank you I adore the barbie vidas!

Without and she is just beautiful!!!!

Thank you so much she was looking a hot mess in the pic

I know I haven't posted here in like FOREVER, so some of you might not remember me! lol! Wow! Everything that I have seen posted is fantastic! I need to Dis more again!
That Minnie dress reminded me of one I just did. So teeny, tiny compared to what I usually sew for my ever growing princess.

DW surprised me with my very own embroidery machine for Christmas! I am like a kid with a new toy and have played with it almost every day! lol!

Pattern: Scientific Seamstress Precious dress. Scientific Seamstress easy fits for bloomers.
Applique Design: Frou Frou by HeatherSue.

Amazing as always Tom! Is there a place that breaks down how to do the bloomers in the easy fit pattern? That is what I was thinking of using for the ones I wanted to make for EE.

I like it with out.... but I think the bloomers would make a perfect touch under it!

Thanks so much

This dress is soooo cute and so is your daughter. I like it with the petti but I think without the petti and the bloomers it would look really cute. I didn't notice the dots not lining up but a sash would look cute too.

Thank you I am leaning ot a less full petti and bloomers lol.

I always hate to agree with something that means more work, but I see what you mean about the sash covering up where the two fabrics join, so I do think it would look nice.

Ya I am not sure how I would have avoided it because of the gathers. I was really careful on the sides when I saw that I was like ugh I did not think this through lol.

You are doing so well, great job. And I didn't even notice that the dots did not line up.

Thank you

I think a white slip with some eyelet lace on the bottom just peeking out would be cute, and I like either with or without, but I think a petti will slightly less poof- so that your hem hangs without being too pushed out.

pattern for both dresses- CarlaC Stripwork jumper combined with the Peek A Boo Skirt from YCMT

That is what I was thinking I am just not sure where to find one. I wonder if eyelet lace on the under part of the skirt and on the bloomers would be overkill?
The dresses are FABULOUS!

HI all.

I'm a lurker. An addicted lurker. And I Have to first of all say thank you. It is because of you that last May I made my daughter 3 sundresses, a Mickey pillowcase dress, a Snow White shirt, twirl skirts, matching shirts for all of us, and a gorgeous Cinderella dress (if I do say so myself). I promise to post pictures soon. But, I wanted to say thank you for the inspiration and advice you were giving someone you didnt even know!

We are now planning another trip, and so I'm firing up the sewing maching again. This time I would like to do some Mickey appliques on shirts.

However, I dont have an embroidery machine. I dont really want to do any iron ons but wondered if any of you have ever seen a Disney Font Embroidered Alphabet that I could iron on instead of paying someone to embroider our names, if that makes sense?

Or, I could use my cricut to cut out the Disney font in fabric, and then I could satin stitch it, but wouldnt that be almost impossible to do?

Let me know your thoughts as to how to get the names on these shirts.

Thanks again, and I promise I'll post pics. They are all because of you!

Vester

I would think you will be surprised on how easy it is to do give it a try I love doing it myself. The mickey heads are definitely fairly quick to do once you get the hang of it.
I do not have an embroidery machine but my understanding is it is not really cut out before they put it in the machine you trim away fabric after.

I'm in trouble!!!! My sister is taking her family to Disney for the week and I promised my nieces T-Shirts. The oldest loves Marie and I told her I could do it because I know I have seen someone with a Marie design. My problem is that I cant remember where it was and I can't find it. I have searched and searched. Does anyone know where I can find one? I really, really, don't want to tell her that I can't give her what she asked for. Heather Sue doesn't have it and I have searched Etsy a couple of different way with no luck.

Hi Everyone!

I was just remembering a year ago today was the tragic earthquake in Haiti. Hugs to all those who lost a loved one, I know they are greatly missed.

Also a reminder that we are going our blankets for the Haitian orphanage project and you can sign up over on the Big Give boards. All it takes is 1/2 yard of fleece, edged how ever you want. The orphanage will house 66 children at a time, and so far we have enough blankets signed up for to cover 1 round of children plus a bit more. If you have signed up, thanks so much - this means alot to our dear friend, and will mean alot to the children. If you haven't signed up - come on over!!!! Its a project that everyone can help with including your children!!! Its amazing what we can do if we all pull together!!

I had no idea, thanks for posting this, I'll head over and sign up. Last year I made the dolls for Haiti that Carla had on her blog. It was so rewarding, I am sorry that a year later they are still in dire need in Haiti.

Hey Tom! I remember you! We are some of the origional members from the very first very LONG thread! Way back in the day when it took forever to download all of our stuff. Then they shortened threads here on the DIS. Anyway, not only do I remember you, but my daughter is FINALLY wearing one of your creations that we bought indirectly from you. The Snow White twirl. It finally fits and my DD is wearing it on our trip the last week of January. Funny how timing works huh? I'm hardly on here any more myself. Do YOU remember ME???

Regardless, the little dress is sweet, and your fabric collection is a great background for the picture. Very sweet and thoughtful present from your wife! Enjoy it!

Thanks! Yes, I remember you and that dress! I am so glad that you are able to use it now! Too bad the fabric collection you see there is only part of what I have! I am a total fabricaholic and I am not afraid to admit it! lol!
Thanks for everyone's comments!
Here are a couple of more outfits that I have recently made. Total CASE from the original Mickey bandanna outfit that was posted here!

Now off to finish a Big Give outfit that I am working on now!

 

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

Thanks so much :

Amazing as always Tom! Is there a place that breaks down how to do the bloomers in the easy fit pattern? That is what I was thinking of using for the ones I wanted to make for EE.

I just saw this. I just eyeball how short I wanted them to be and used elastic in the hem. For these, because I was being lazy, I just sewed 1/4" elastic to the inside stretching it as much as I could before sewing it down. You could always do a casing made out of single fold bias tape and then insert your elastic there too.

Thats what I did, I made a casing with bias tape. I am not sure how well this will show up. I afraid I didn't get a very good picture. I just eyeballed where I wanted it and sewed in the casing.

Tom, Your outfits are amazing!! I am really in love with that fabric store in the background!! So, what is LeighAnn into wearing these days?

 

[MyDisneyTrio]

I am really in love with that fabric store in the background!!

Ditto! I only thought I had a lot of fabric, haha! I might just have to try organizing all my stuff like that... right now everything is crammed into bins and plastic drawer units etc. I spend half my time trying to find things!

 

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

Tom, Your outfits are amazing!! I am really in love with that fabric store in the background!! So, what is LeighAnn into wearing these days?

I used to have bins of fabric, unorganized. I couldn't find anything either. lol! Oh, and that is just part of what I have. I have a cabinet too, with lots of other fabrics. Mostly new purchases!

Leighanna is into wearing appliqued T's right now. She will occasionally wear a dress that I made for special events. She still loves to twirl, ruffles, and ribbons! I can't believe that my baby is almost 9.

 

[babynala]

Thanks for the reply. I just ordered the Famous 770 from Amazon and the website suggested add-ons, so I ordered four additional hoops including the repositionable hoop. My husband's out of town this week so I should have paid extra for expedited shipping so I could play while the cat's away, but I didn't so it won't arrive until next week.

Congrats on the new machine. You will have to let us all know how the repositionable hoop works.

DH is shoveling with our new power shovel. I need to get the kids occupied. it has been a rough morning.

Ugh! Hope the rest of your day went better then the morning.

I'm not exactly sure what would be the best method for this. Do they have long names? I think the Disney font would be hard to sew on unless the letters were pretty big. Depending on how big you need the letters you might be able to glue them onto the shirt with fabric glue but I wouldn't suggest that you wash the shirt after you glue it. Could you just put a printed version of the letters inside the shrit and trace them with a fabric marker? Sorry, I'm not much help.

Thanks everyone for the compliments on the Tween outfit! DD's friend came over this afternoon (who by the way has never been to DW) and looked at the outfit and said, "you aren't really going to wear that, are you?" And she replied, "Of course I am, I'm a Disney Dork and proud of it!" That's my girl!!!!

Not having an embroidery machine either, I am left with the same dilemma. For our cruise, I did our Fish Extenders using the Walt font appliqued on the pockets. Each letter is 1.25 inches tall and the name "Chris" from end to end is 5.25 inches. Would totally work on a shirt as long as you don't have super long names.

Thanks! Yes, I remember you and that dress! I am so glad that you are able to use it now! Too bad the fabric collection you see there is only part of what I have! I am a total fabricaholic and I am not afraid to admit it! lol!

TOM!!!! Hello there! It's so great to see you around here again! I love this little dress! And, congrats on the embroidery machine! What kind did you get?

Yay... I've always wondered if the phrase "ladies and Tom" was somewhat mythical...

D~

That just made me laugh!!!! See! We TOLD you he was real!

DH is shoveling with our new power shovel. I need to get the kids occupied. it has been a rough morning.

I'm sorry you are having a bad morning. I hope everything is ok.

Hi Maureen! We have a Tom original too. I bought the Alice dress he made. Lydia loves it, but she has outgrown it! I was wondering how much I can get on a resell of a "Legendary Tom Original"

Will you post pictures of Audrey in the outfit?

Okay Teresa- here goes.
Here is the gumball dress (photo from last year)

she did not wear a petti with it Monday, and she's taller now- it needs an underskirt pretty soon
and here is the dress I made Sophie (they had a Circus and the K-3 kids were clowns, but Sophie didn't want to wear pants- so this was a "circus dress"

back

pattern for both dresses- CarlaC Stripwork jumper combined with the Peek A Boo Skirt from YCMT

Thank you!!! I just LOVE that dress!!!
And, I remember the circus one! I love that one too. That was so sweet of you to make for the little girl! I wonder why she doesn't let her wear it to school??

When were you there in May? I am just wondering if I saw you at all. We were there then too. I can't wait to see your pictures!

Thank you I am leaning ot a less full petti and bloomers lol.


That is what I was thinking I am just not sure where to find one. I wonder if eyelet lace on the under part of the skirt and on the bloomers would be overkill?

Under dresses, I have my girls wear a petti without the fluff. It has lace on the bottom edge, so you don't get that ridge look that the fluff can give under things. They are cheaper than the regular pettis too. PM for more info. When the petti sticks out from under the skirt, I like the ones with fluff.

Here are a couple of more outfits that I have recently made. Total CASE from the original Mickey bandanna outfit that was posted here!

Now off to finish a Big Give outfit that I am working on now!

I love those outfits! Very cute! Did you make them for Amber?

Thats what I did, I made a casing with bias tape. I am not sure how well this will show up. I afraid I didn't get a very good picture. I just eyeballed where I wanted it and sewed in the casing.

I need to organize mine too. Brian has a shelf that, in my opinion, he doesn't need. He doesn't agree though and hasn't let me use it yet. I think I'll slowly work my fabric stash onto it!

I used to have bins of fabric, unorganized. I couldn't find anything either. lol! Oh, and that is just part of what I have. I have a cabinet too, with lots of other fabrics. Mostly new purchases!

NINE??? How can that be? She just started kindergarten!

Teresa, I don't remember the Alice dress...Want to share? I haven't posted pictures of Audrey in ages have I? How about I promise to post a picture of her in the notorious Tom twirl Snow White when we get back from our vacation. A "Modeled Tom" in early February!

 

[vester]

Is that a satin stitch you did around the Disney Letters?

And we were at Disney May 14-24 I think ??? Last year.

Yikes! Miss Leigh was just talking about Miss M tonight at dinner. She really misses her and wants to see her again, soon!

We are looking at March for a quick trip. No definite plans yet, though.

Nice work. I'm not sure if it was my machine or me (I have a guess but I'm not telling) but I didn't have much luck with hand applique.
