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

[ellenbenny]

ok - posted on FB too but - I have Rapunzel digitized for part one of Jocelyn's request for her very special Tangled feliz. She choose Rapunzel instead of sleeping beauty because I have called Jocelyn "Rapunzel" forever because of her hair, which is down to her bum.

up next is Flynn Rider. I may have to change some things around like the boat. That part may be hand appliqued as will the water. I will also do some of the lanterns too. I would love to put some line from the movie on it but not sure what to put because we have only seen it once. Any ideas?

I really love this! This is my favorite scene from the movie too, but i really don't remember the lines, must see it again. I almost missed this scene as DGD had to go to the bathroom (again) but I persuaded DH to take her since I had already taken her once!

When you get this done I can't wait to see the whole scene, just beautful!

1st of all, the first pair of jeans i did( candy land theme) i did not open the leg!live and learn. in retrospect I did it the difficult way. but i did iron on stablizer on the back of the candyland fabric piece i was going to attach to the jeans.then, i pinned the heck out of the candyland piece to the jeans. then i zigzagged, widest zigzag possible and shortest stich possible. and I "appliqued" quite a few pieces on those jeans. here is a pic

This turned out so cute!

Here is th disboutique facebook page. It is not really used much but you should be able to find people there to friend.


LOVE my ticker!

THanks for posting this - I missed it yesterday - but I finally saw it this morning while I was mulit-quoting.

This is so cute! I made the same applique!! Great minds think alike!

I love all of these! Really cute. Thanks for explaining the "fish extender???" Is that what it's actually called? It's a neat concept.

Here is mine on the fish! If you ever go on a cruise they are so much fun for the kids. Dallas loved going back to the room to see if anything was in it! I thought I had a picture of him with it, but it must be further into my trip and I only ever posted the first 2 days.

Ooooh - yours is cute too... I am really itching to take a Disney cruise - unfortuanately, DH only lets me officially "do Disney" once every 5 years - I am at 2.5 right now.

Delurking to introduce myself...

I'm Leah and I am just in awe of all of your creations! I consider myself a crafty girl, but I definitely could take some lessons in creativity from you ladies!

This turned out great!

This should be the link to the Disboutiquers facebook page
http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=46334585287

Thanks for posting the link again! I didn't see the first one posted - so I ended up following yours.

sorry, this is not the greatest pic, but I promise to get a cute one when she wears it at Disney World this MAY!!!

is this better?

I love the colors - and how sweet this dress looks... Great job!

Well.... This is un-disney related but I made this shirt for my daughter to wear at the rehearsal for my best friend's (miami) wedding!! (We will be at the wedding the week before Disney!!) She is the flower girl


What do you guys think? I am thinking to make a skirt with flowers and some tule underneath, any idea's for a skirt???

Cute - I love your matching skirt idea - that would just be adorable!

This is awesome! I don't have any ideas for movie lines - we only saw it once too... but it managed to make it to the top of "my all time favorite Disney princess movie" list.

This is absolutely adorable. I want to make one for myself. LOL

Going to try and be a bit productive today. I want to finish Mallory's Big Give. I only have the headbands left and they are already cut out.

I am washing fabric to try my first pair of Easy Fits. We shall see how far I get with that. I have cut out the patterns for DD and DS may start with DS since he is smaller

Need to find some blank shirts for my Godson. My cousin asked if I could make a Birthday Boy shirt for his 1st Birthday and I have been procrastinating but need to get it done by Wednesday so I can mail it. Thinking I may just run to Carter's and pick up a set of long sleeve onsies since he is in 18 month clothing.

I LOVE this! My daughter is 4 1/2 and we have never cut her hair because its so long and perfect and we call her rapunzel too!

We are acutally going to cut it I think at DW this May and give to locks for love!

Sorry I was back into lurk mode again – had a busy week between working and having guests at my place (actually they are still here – decided to get up at the usual work time today so I can reply to the thread!) Caution – you are about to be bombarded by a long multi-quote because I don’t want to miss anything exciting! I’ll apologize in advance if I missed someone’s creations since I had go back like 15 pages.

It was a BLAZING hot day, I think the heat index was something like 114. They all look like they are about to melt, don't they! Lydia (Ariel) had decided to dump water down her shirt to cool off before we went in to eat. I can't say I blamed her, but in that humidity, it just didn't dry. Lydia was 6 close to 7 here. Tessa is my niece as Jasmine and that's Sawyer my nephew in Aladdin.

I'll try to find some more tomorrow (they may be in the Photobucket account if you want to take a look).

Teresa - Love that picture. I can understand about the hot part because I know there were times I want to dump water all over myself too!

Did you ask about a repositionable hoop once upon a time? Get any answers? I've been wondering the same thing, and since page 1 says feel free to repost unanswered questions. . . . .

May I have you attention.

Wendy and I would like to know if anyone has a repositionable hoop, and if so, do you like it?

Color me if someone answered and I missed it.

Sorry, I don’t know the answer to that question. My guess is that it will be useful for things like putting names or year under the main embroidery image without rehooping so your two things line up perfectly.

Hi Everyone!

Here is the shirt I made for Wendy's Big Give - Jenny is making a skirt to match it!!! Its always fun to work together!!

That Tink shirt is beautiful!

and i have a question. on the brother pe 770- are there special embroidery machine needles i should be using or can i really use a universal machine needle?directions say any machine needle is fine. my mother says look for embroidery needles.(she has a singer) the "help" at joanns said tsk tsk we only sell viking and blah blah brand so she wasnt willing to give me advise.

Re: needles – I use embroidery needles on my 270D unless I am doing knits. I mostly embroider on woven materials (e.g., the signature blocks and Mickey blocks for my quilt). I wonder if the embroidery needles make the filled in areas look better filled in, though it could be a case of placebo effect since I knew I put in the embroidery needle instead of a regular needle.

Love the shirt, Wendy! I wanted to share the skirt that I made to match the shirt..

And there are also for the same big give...

Beautiful Big Give outfits! I am always amazed by the items put together for the Gives.

Here is my first custom for our trip in late September. I haven't decided if I want a Mickey head or something else embroidered in the bottom right (DD's left). I am making matching for all three girls, except the colors will change out. I have Pink, Purple, and Blue

What is everyone's opinions on having names on clothing at Disney. I'm a little apprehensive, although I know that a ton of people do it.

Cute dress! Can’t wait to see the other two! Sorry, I don’t have an opinion on names on clothes since I don’t have any children.

Front with sash

back

She was actually really happy with it and happy to try it on!

I did not knit this, a friend of mine did as a baby gift and this was her first time wearing it...

I like the dress with the sash. That sweater looks so nice and warm.

Soooo probably a dumb question but I just don't have the budget for a sewing machine right now Is it possible to start out machine-less and get 2 or more outfits done before our trip in a month & 1/2 since I am a total beginner aka never ever sewed????

I saw that other people have answered your question already. I just want to say welcome and hopefully you can find a machine inexpensively!

I made 3 sets of matching nightgowns for girls and their AG dolls for a customer.

and a set of PJ's for Juliet for school

Cute jammies. Congrats on your work (and the subsequent purchase!)

I just signed up on the Big Give site! I want to thank you for choosing us and everyone here who made something for our family for Emily's wish trip! We had a truly magical time and we became known as the "Minnie Mouse family" around GKTW after wearing our Big Give outfits to meet the mice! Every Big Give item we wore was noticed and ooohed and aahed over. it was awesome. So now I hope to give back! I can't sew, but I can send some other kind of Pixie Dust or scrapbooking things!

Thanks Again everyone and I love to see everything you make!

Welcome Aimee! Your Give was actually my first Give, and now I am addicted to making clothes and other things for the Give families!

Just wanted to say hi! I just found this thread and I'm in heaven!!!! I can't believe I never saw it before!
I love all of the pictures! Everything is so great!

Here are 2 "disney" dresses I have made for dd .

Welcome and thanks for sharing your pictures. Those dresses (and the model) are definitely high on the cuteness scale!

ATTENTION SEWERS WITH TWEENS!!!!

I finally have something to post, with only 8 days left I figured I better dust off the machine and get busy.

DD11 trying on her new outfit. I cut off a pair of jeans and sewed the ruffle. Might be hard to see in the picture. I haven't taken off the stabalizer yet and noticed her wet hair (she just got out of the shower!) is leaving water drops all over the shirt!

She loves the outfit and is still wearing it a few hours later. She is very excited to wear it on our MK day and to Crystal Palace.

Thanks for sharing your idea for tweens. I will have to store that in my “ideas for Big Gives” portion of my brain!

 

[PurpleEars]

Ok, here's part 2 of the multi-quote since I exceed the pic limit!

Minnie dress is done woot! It is shorter than I planned. I apparently suck at math today lol. I am thinking of adding some white bloomers though and think it will be ok. I also think I am going to add a sash because the dots do not line up right. Please excuse my daughters hair she had been in bed and woke up and I seized an oppurtunity.

with a petti (we need a white one now)

Or without?

That dress looks so beautiful. I would personally vote for a less full petti or go without the petti.

Cute Barbie dresses!

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.

That is a beautiful dress. I wish I could be that organized for my fabric. They just stay in labeled bins (at least they are somewhat sorted in the bins)

Here's a twirl photo showing the back of one of these dresses. Somewhere there is a picture of all 4 girls twirling at once--can't wait to see that one!!

Thanks for sharing the photographs. The dresses and the girls are beautiful. I really like the twirl picture!

Went to a dinner last night where the theme was to wear an apron. I, of course, had to make mine and I made the same for my mom and SIL. Then I still had some fabric left over, so I made a chef hat for myself from the rest.

I like the matching aprons! You are making me think that I should make an apron for a dinner we are hosting next month (we are having 4 people come for dinner as a fundraiser for our church, but the catch is that we won’t know who they are until they show up at the door! Technically they shouldn’t know who the host is either, but that part is a little bit more difficult when they know the address!)

Also, what about the PED basic software? Is it worth it? like I said, I used to have a Janome and have already purchased many designs in the .sew format. Is there a way that I could convert these .sew designs to .pes?

Thanks for any input!!!

Re: PED Basic. I am not sure if you’ll need it. I thought it is only for machines without the USB port. It is a card writer so you can get your designs from your computer to your machine.

Thanks for sharing the pictures! I noticed she even has matching sparkling red shoes!

Ok I solomnly swear not to flood yall with pictures over the next few months but I am so happy about how this turned out!

Absolute cuteness!! Don’t worry about flooding us with pictures! I like to see all the cute things people make!

Reposting if case my post got lost!

Need help! I am making my first ever altered jeans. I am just sewing on pieces of fabric near the bottom of the legs. Some people seem to applique them on with a zig zag, others do a straight stitch or zig zag but leave the edgdes free to fray. Which one is better? Any advice? I have opened the leg to make it easier!

I zig zag the edges since I like the neat, finished look. I also fuse or glue my appliqué pieces to the material so they don’t shift while I zig zag away.

1st of all, the first pair of jeans i did( candy land theme) i did not open the leg!live and learn. in retrospect I did it the difficult way. but i did iron on stablizer on the back of the candyland fabric piece i was going to attach to the jeans.then, i pinned the heck out of the candyland piece to the jeans. then i zigzagged, widest zigzag possible and shortest stich possible. and I "appliqued" quite a few pieces on those jeans. here is a pic

Much cuteness!

Delurking to introduce myself...

I'm Leah and I am just in awe of all of your creations! I consider myself a crafty girl, but I definitely could take some lessons in creativity from you ladies!

I have been stalking this thread since the 21st installment trying to work up enough creative courage to try some of the stuff I've seen here. I used to be an avid quilter before I had children but now my sewing machine is buried under baby stuff in the basement! I went to JoAnn's the other day and bought tons o' supplies for my first project - a hand-embroidered Mickey head tie t-shirt (I was inspired by the one posted here - hope you don't mind that I CASEd it)...I was able to complete it in a few hours while we sat cooped up in the house during the blizzard on Tuesday/Wednesday. Here's the finished product:

Anyway, just wanted to hop on board, if that's okay. I have already made autograph books, an Epcot passport/Animal Kingdom journal, and a travel journal for my DS5 for our upcoming trip. Pics are in my PTR (in my signature below) if you're interested.

I'd LOVE to get involved in the Big Gives as well...I could contribute autograph books and/or Epcot passports to begin with until I can rekindle my love affair with my sewing machine.

Welcome! You did a good job on that T-shirt - it’s been ages since I hand embroidered something.

sorry, this is not the greatest pic, but I promise to get a cute one when she wears it at Disney World this MAY!!!

Such a beautiful dress. I really like the colour combination.

ok - posted on FB too but - I have Rapunzel digitized for part one of Jocelyn's request for her very special Tangled feliz. She choose Rapunzel instead of sleeping beauty because I have called Jocelyn "Rapunzel" forever because of her hair, which is down to her bum.

up next is Flynn Rider. I may have to change some things around like the boat. That part may be hand appliqued as will the water. I will also do some of the lanterns too. I would love to put some line from the movie on it but not sure what to put because we have only seen it once. Any ideas?

Wow, this is going to look absolutely gorgeous! Sorry, I can't help your with your question as I haven't seen the movie yet.

Ok, I think I am finally all caught up!

This is going to be beautiful! The song from the movie is called "And at last I see the light". One of my favorite scenes from the movie!

Thank you on both I think I am looking for a less full petti. We will definitely need a full one for the second set though lol.

Oh SUCH CUTENESS!~!!!!!

Hey everyone - what exactly do you use to mark your fabric - tshirts etc - I was looking at a cool chalk pen from Joann's, but I read the reviews and it people said it didnt wash out!!!! I'd love something that just brushed off, but ???


Thanks!!

I use the water soluble Marvy markers. I like that it will stay where I need it for as long as I need it. Then a quick spritz and it is gone. I use both the purple and the white...but prefer the purple. The white dries out too fast!

I know some people worry about it not coming out...I just test it on a small piece, but I have never had any problems with it not washing out. Of course, if I leave a project alone too long...like a week...when I come back the marks are gone! (I hate that!)LOL

[travelbel]

Quick question... I'm getting ready to bust out some t-shirts with embroidery designs from Heather off of etsy. Anyone have any recommendations on what to use with the knit/100% fabric of a t-shirt? What stabilizers will help me?? I feel like I've tried a dozen combinations in the past and never been happy with the final product.

Thanks!

When I first started, I used a tear away that was iron on on the inside of the shirt and it really helped!!! I also like to use a cut away when Im not using the iron on stuff....I get it at Joann's!!~

Nini - thanks!! Thats what I have been using, just wanted to check and see what everyone else does!!

 

[travelbel]

Thanks - Nothing on the top?? I do have some of the iron on for the inside.... I was always trying something on top too (water sol., tear away, etc.) and it always seemed to be more of a problem than help!

Hi, everyone!! It's been awhile since I've posted, and I think catching up is a lost cause!!

Here's my latest, not Disney, but still cute (the skirt is Farbenmix's Falda)

And she's kept it on all day

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

LOVESDUMBO-
I love going in May, it's my favorite month to go, I feel it's less humid than Fall or Summer, but warmer than Winter. Rain, if any is an afternoon shower typically, sometimes we go and it's overcast- but pleasant, sometimes we go and it's perfect, last time we went it was the last week, and then a couple days into June and it was still tolerable. I LOVE the Flower and Garden Festival!!!! I have a gazillion photos of all the topiaries at Epcot. We have been in Oct, Aug, May and June and so far May is my fave- I don't want to wear long sleeves or jean on vacay and I like to go when the waterparks are open- but not so hot that I melt at the parks, and May wins hands down!
i also ADORE BWV!!!! I like POR too, but now that we are DVC and have kids, a 1 bd rm or 2 is much more comfortable. and it costs too many points to stay at the non DVC resorts.
We should meet up!

Anyone give me ideas for a BWV themed outfit????

Oh SUCH CUTENESS!~!!!!!

Wendy I have tried lots of things. I do like a disappearing ink, however I have been told that the ones that go away with water (from Joanns- the purple and pink )shoud not be dried in the dryer after being wet for the ink- that it can make the ink come back permenantly.
i have never had a problem with chalk- I use a cool sort of pen with a pincher thing on the tip where I can insert different colored chalk that it comes with- so I can always use a color that works for the fabric since white doesnt show easily on light fabics. Its sort of a orangey-brown colored plastic.
i also have a white chalk pencil that click up like the lead ones do ith a fine line chalk instert.
and of all of them I think this is my favorite and is used by heirloom sewers, so it's trustworthy on fabrics for sure and for certain!
http://www.karimeaway.com/products/186
comes in a fat tip and fine tip and they are fantastic- just don't be heavy handed with it- a little pressure is all you need, you don't want to saturate any fabric with anything you are using.

I love this! I am a huge fan of the Saga, but she looks so young to know about Twilight- she has that sweet baby face- boy she's growing up! Wasn't just last year she had that sweet Hungry Caterpiller outfit on!

 

[aboveH20]

I love it, and just looking at it gives me hope than eventually the snow will go away. (EEKS, I broke the photo - it's the yellow sundress with Eeyore.)

up next is Flynn Rider. I may have to change some things around like the boat. That part may be hand appliqued as will the water. I will also do some of the lanterns too. I would love to put some line from the movie on it but not sure what to put because we have only seen it once. Any ideas?

Humor is so subjective, but my favorite line from Flynn was after Rapunzel gave him a run down on her life and then she asked about his and he said "I don't do a back story." Every ride at Disney (and the water parks) has a back story, so it's almost like an inside joke. Anyway, that was my favorite.

Hi, everyone!! It's been awhile since I've posted, and I think catching up is a lost cause!!

Here's my latest, not Disney, but still cute (the skirt is Farbenmix's Falda)

I love the fabric combination and her wearing it all days means she loved it too. Nicely done.



The hoops for my new embroidery machine arrived today. (The machine hasn't come yet, but at least I got something.)

I love my serger. No one said how much fun it would be and I know having the serged edges is a big improvement. Thanks Andrea for recommending serging before ruffling. That's the step I'm up to.

I figure the serger has already paid for itself. I made 12 dinner napkins -- at $20 per napkin the serger MORE than paid for itself.

My son and my car made it safely back from Rhode Island and he didn't have any problems driving in the snow. The big scratch on the front bumper is from pulling out of the tiny parking area in his apartment building.

I use a regular pencil most of the time - usually it washes out after I am done. If not, an eraser will do the trick!

LOVE it all- but that Minnie dress- she needs to be on a hanger- is that white piping at the collar I see? HOW SWEET!!!
Love the pillowcases with embroidered names- really nice touch! I like the extra wide accent pink fabric too- really makes the pillowcase- cute princess fabric too- (I know Tom made a sweet dress feliz? with that and I always think of it!)
