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

[mommyof2princesses]

Heading to work but when I get home I am going to start my first Carla C easy fit pants.

Also all this talk of sergers has be wanting one LOL and I am not even sure what I would do with it

You are going to love the easy fits. You will definitely finish them. They are sooo easy! Just a piece of advice...depending on what size you are making many people sometimes forget which side is the top and which is the bottom. Sometimes I mark the tops with a little star to remind me!

Sergers are great for finishing. That way you don't have fraying ends. I also use it to hem. I don't do much else with it. It stays at the same setting!

I notice you are in Queens! I was born and raised in Flushing!

 

[ellenbenny]

Gotta tell you I LOVE this set. We are big Yankee fans here, so it is a huge hit. I didn't realize it was fleece & I was trying to figure out where you found Yankee cotton. You did an awesome job, it looks sooo professional. The mommy-to-be will be speechless.

You did a good job on the set. I am sure the family will really like it!

This is amazing! Great work! EllenBenny is my hero!

This is great, you did an awesome job!

These all turned out so great! What a nice thing for you to do!

I LOVE this Ellen! I know this will be loved by the mom! The dining room picture reminded me of when I made Dallas' stuff. I wasn't even pregnant or trying, just knew that when I was I wouldn't want to sew. When I was done I set it all up on the floor since I didn't have a crib either!

That is adorable! I'm sure the mommy will love it!

The set turned out fabulous. I don't think I would ever even attempt a crib skirt -- too much fabric to deal with.

Wow, this looks amazing. I love the diaper stacker. The crib skirt came out great.

That is amazing work! I have brothers, who if they had children, would defintely want that! Even thought I am a mets fan I still love it!

The set turned out really cute, I'm sure they will love it!!

Thanks so much for all the nice comments on the crib set!!

Believe it or not the crib skirt wasn't too bad, the worst was the bumper pads since I made it all one piece, and with the foam in there is was hard to manage. All the yankees fabric is fleece because they don't sell MLB in cotton. I got the idea from a set they had seen online. I did buy 2 different embroidery designs on etsy which I used on the quilt and on the top part of the diaper stacker. Overall I am very pleased with how it all came out, even if it isn't my style! Just hope it fits the crib correctly now!

Shower is Jan 30th and I will be at the Disboutique meet at Disney World that day, so I won't get to see her receive the set, hopefully I will see pictures of it in the nursery once it gets set up.

 

[tricia]

Oh my, my kids have a hockey tournament on the weekend and I get like over 10 pages behind.

Tricia - love the aprons. What a fun dinner theme. What kind of group are you in that does themed dinners? Sounds like a great way to get together.

Thanks for all the apron love everyone. This is the Catholic Women's League, and it is only a once a year dinner. Next year we are supposed to wear hats. We had really old (over 50 years), silly, homemade aprons, it was really cute.

I am going to start sewing again. I just signed up for Minnie outfits for all 3 girls on Khelsey's give. Off to Walmart to look for some size 14 jeans to add ruffles to!

Great to see you again. Glad you are able to get back to your machine. Have fun.

Welcome, and great T-shirt.

that is so sweet looking. Can't wait to see her walking around WDW with it.

Looks very cute.

I really love the fabrics in this skirt. YOu always have such great fabric combinations.

Front:

Great job on the clothes and the pillowcases. Sometimes our mistakes turn out to be good things.

Awesome as usually Tom. Love the ribbon weaving in an out at the bottom of the pants. Nice touch.

[/IMG]

another great T=Shirt. (I have a Liam too, and as a 13 yr old who loves to eat he would like this too.)

And all
TFL

OMG, they are gorgeous, and nice and bright, you will definitely get a lot of attention. (and I think your little blondie is the cutest little guy)

Well, I'm a bit worried, apprehensive, scared, confused and ...excited! Tomorrow morning I will be giving my very first official sewing lesson for beginners.

I have had so many people ask me for help in learning to sew, I decided this may be the niche I am looking for. (in a previous life I was a trainer at a large insurance company)

Since I have such a large sewing/quilting studio (complete with a overly well stocked toy room/game room next to it!) it really makes sense. I have room to have another 4 or 5 sewing machines hooked up...so I can also do a class on how to use your machine now that you've taken it out of the box!

My guinea pig class will be tomorrow morning at 9 am. I really hope it goes well...wish me luck!

Nini

Hope it's going well. I'm sure you will be a wonderful sewing teacher.

Woot! Finally at ten! I'm trying this question again with a picture (Adi is awesome) so I don't get lost in the thread ...




Anyone have a serger recommendation? I'm just starting to think about picking one up.

Pic it too little, you should know better, we like the big pics around here.

I have an Elna serger and love it. It makes the most beautiful rolled hems.

I haven't been posting anything too exciting because I have still been working on my yankees baby bedding set. I think I am mostly done, although I may make a fleece tie blanket as I still have enough yankees fleece left to do one, just need to pick up a coordinating solid color some time this week.


This one shows the quilt, the bumper pads, and a little pillow I made:

Came out great. I know that it isn't your favourite, but it will be loved by the family you made it for.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Well the headache and the throw up stopped and now I am just sore. Glad we know what happens from previous hits to my already TBI. Today is better.

My ticker is 1, 1, 1.

GO NINI!!! Wish I lived closer!! I'd love to be your student!!

April - are you sure you shouldnt get checked out?

Ellen - WOW - you could sell that on you know where for a bundle I bet!! lol

Thanks for the thoughts and hugs yesterday. They were greatly appreciated!!

Our basement is filled with teenaged boys from out youth group at church - Billy and them play this game called Flames of War - something with miniture army stuff and battles -IDK, not my thing - but, I should have some gooood sewing time!!!

Ha ha ha!!! I am in Bayside and grew up in Astoria.

Not a dumb question at all... on the outside of your stateroom is a metal fish clip that DCL uses to clip messages/mail etc. Although, usually your room steward just puts anything official in your room. But in theory that is what it is for. BUT... Disboarders have gotten creative and ban together for Fish Extender (FE) gift exchanges. You hang your FE to the clip and fellow disers deposit small gifts into the pockets. It was a lot of fun and some people give amazing handmade things. I made Mickey headbands for the girls, glow bracelets with a Jack Sparrow theme for the boys and gave highlighters (with a cut little personal sticker) to the adults. The highlighters were for going through the packet you got each evening that lists the next day's activities. Hope that makes sense.

Here is the whole enchilada! Could have sworn I had a picture of it hanging from the actual FE but I can't seem to find it.

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.

Thanks for explaining and posting the pictures. It makes a lot more sense to me now. Both are very cute! (Jessica...sorry I lost your picture somehow)

Hear that... sadly DD4 is now asking for shows like WofWP and iCarly. Ugh. She tells me shows like Little Einsteins is for babies.

Thought it was funny that this came up today. My DGD just turned 6 on Friday. When her little sister said she wanted to watch Baby Einsteins (for the millionth time in a day)....she told her "Wen, I don't want to watch that. I have 'come of age' and that is for babies." WHERE DO they get these terms?

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.

Really cute and welcome to Disboutiquers. We would love to have you join us for the Big Gives.

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?

Love the color combination...so cute!

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???

That is really a cute shirt. I think CarlaC preppy skirt would be super cute in a bold floral print with this.

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?

Soooo cute! I can't wait to see the full picture and the dress!

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)

Very cute...love the fabric on the skirt. And this last picture is precious!

I can now share the items I made for one of the Big Gives since the family has received them (please ignore Mickey and Minnie's feet in the pictures):

Front:

Back:

And pillowcases:

Everything turned out great. I saw her PT report when they received them and they looked so happy with them.

Leslie, that outfit is amazing! What you can do with hand appliques! No matter how hard I tried, I always messed up when it came to the final details like the face! I wish I could do that! I guess that is why I have an embroidery machine now!

A couple of pics of the outfit for Mallory's MAW Big give:

Front:

Back:

Only one word for this outfit ......AWESOME! I love it!

 

[dbprimeaux]

Thanks to everyone that responded about the pillowcase dress pattern!!! Now I am off to find someone to make a few for my DD for our trip in May I sure wish I had the talent of sewing. Again, THANKS!!

 

[jeniamt]

Well day one sets are done I already posted EE's squirt but this is for the three boys. My oldest has talked about she wants Bubbles now so we will see. All of the characters I choose I try and make them characters that fit thier personality. Course Bubbles does fit her lol.

I LOVE these!!!! Especially Bruce! I have been looking for a Bruce image and haven't found one I loved... would you mind sharing where you got yours???

Heading to work but when I get home I am going to start my first Carla C easy fit pants.

Also all this talk of sergers has be wanting one LOL and I am not even sure what I would do with it

For one, you will be able to make a pair of Easy Fits in about 10 minutes! They go together so fast with the serger. The other thing I love my serger for is doing rolled hems for ruffles. I love playing around with the metalic threads and wooly nylons for finishing the edges. Adds a whole 'nother detail to your outfits.

. 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?[/QUOTE]

"Here comes the smolder" ?

 

[T-rox]

Ok, the Brother 770 came in!!! I want to play, but need some assistance. I saw heathersue'stutorial for hand applique, but does anyone know where I could find a tutorial for machine applique? Specifically for the 770? There is one directions page in the manual for applique, but it's not real clear. Any help is appreciated.

just do it. it is so easy. and i have never done it before. did a cat in the hat this weekend. will post on tuesday. the machine lays out a stictch to show you where to put your fabric for the applique, then you lay the fabric down and the machine lays out another stitch, securing it. so on until all of your fabric is down, then, the machine finishes it with the gorgeous satin stitch

 

[T-rox]

OK you are all enablers to my addiction. If I were to *hypothetically* ask for my birthday/Christmas for an embroidery machine - where should I start? I dont have any idea - or really waht they cost or what a good one is....

help.....(maybe. I'm not sure I want to know haha.)

Vester

i hypothjetically asked for one and got one for Christmas. Everyone mostly recommended the brother pe 770 and i did a bunch of research and then settled on it anyhow

 

[billwendy]

Hi Everyone!!

Okay - Billy wants me to get a self threading surger if there is one out there - any ideas? My Singer from Walmart just hasnt been the same since its major injury this fall...I was trying to serge the ruffle to jeans and kaflooey something happens and it gets all unthreaded and wacky????

Here is the outfit I made for Mallory's Big Give it will coordinat with Callie's necklace and a tutu that is being made!!!

I have to admit - I watched a Christmas movie while I was watching it!!! lol - Mallory has gotten me in the mood (although it isnt to hard for me - Im BAD - my tree is still up!!!)

Get a Babylock if you can afford it. It is the only machine with jet air threading! You just stick the thread in the little port hole and push a button and woosh.... it threads the lower loopers!!! There are a handful of us here on the dis that have Babylocks and we all love them. I bought mine at my local Babylock dealer and was able to pay it out over several months at 0% interest. That is how I've purchased all of my machines.

 

[froggy33]

Now that Chelsea from the big give has received the dresses I can post them here! She looks SOOO cute in them! I love it!
Daisy: They're going to Tusker so I wanted to make this! I had these great fabrics from when I made my neighbors baby bedding (so cute too - need to post pics) and I digitized a daisy to go along!
Can't find a full front pic.

Back:

And the pink Cindy dress - she looks just like a princess in this one!

Thanks for looking! Jessica

 

[ms_mckenna]

Oh, this is going to be an entire new channel? I thought they were just renaming the "Playhouse Disney" part of the regular channel to Junior.

These came out really great! What a beautiful family you have.

Yep will be the soap channel ... as of Feb 14th. And thank you.

Ticker check

I fell today snowboarding, backwards and slide head first on my back down for a time period I don't know. It all got a bit lost. I am tired, feel sick but going to be fine. Let's hear it for having fun.

I hope you are ok and not to sore!

:

Thank you

My guinea pig class will be tomorrow morning at 9 am. I really hope it goes well...wish me luck!

Nini

Hope your class went well!

I haven't been posting anything too exciting because I have still been working on my yankees baby bedding set. I think I am mostly done, although I may make a fleece tie blanket as I still have enough yankees fleece left to do one, just need to pick up a coordinating solid color some time this week.


This one shows the quilt, the bumper pads, and a little pillow I made:

Amazing I bet the Mommy to be will adore it!!!

I love how this looks!!! Wonderful job!
Look at you! Wow! FABULOUS!

Thank you Teresa

That crew is so cute! I am sure they will get lots of attention that day!

Thank you

These came out great!

Thanks.

I say flood us. Love the outfit and your little looks like a doll she is so cute.

Aww thank you

Love them! I can't wait until your trip so I can see a pic of all four kids together. They are going to look smashing!

Thanks I am excited about it all together as well.

awesome outfits!!!!!! they turned out great!!!!!!

Thank you

They are so cute! Great job!

Thanks!

Heading to work but when I get home I am going to start my first Carla C easy fit pants.

Also all this talk of sergers has be wanting one LOL and I am not even sure what I would do with it

You will love the pattern it is super easy. They go really quick too once you figure it out.
I have been thinking I need a serger as well but I want it to make EE knit leggings.

LOVE THEM!! I love how you've matched everyone to a Nemo personality too, very clever! I think I'd probably be Flo, feeling like a total air head these days...or maybe Dory "where am I? Hmmmm"

Thanks so much I think I am a Flo too because most days because I talk to myself lol.

OMG, they are gorgeous, and nice and bright, you will definitely get a lot of attention. (and I think your little blondie is the cutest little guy)

Thanks.

I LOVE these!!!! Especially Bruce! I have been looking for a Bruce image and haven't found one I loved... would you mind sharing where you got yours???

Send me a message on FB and I can send it to you. I just google images and print it out from there and trace it.

 

[froggy33]

Hi Everyone!!

I have to admit - I watched a Christmas movie while I was watching it!!! lol - Mallory has gotten me in the mood (although it isnt to hard for me - Im BAD - my tree is still up!!!)

I love this outfit! The embroidery is great!

That is what I am looking at. I am thinking of getting a smaller embroidery machine so I can get a good serger.

Now that Chelsea from the big give has received the dresses I can post them here! She looks SOOO cute in them! I love it!

Love them both! They are awesome!!!!!

 

[Camping Griswalds]

This is beautiful! Can't wait to see it all stitched out!

So - I found a few 'ringer' tshirts at Walgreens for $1 and just couldn't resist buying a few. I whipped up a new project last night while watching football:

This is really cute! I have a nephew Liam and he would have looked fab in this in December!

These are stunning! The colors and appliques and how it will look on all of your children together will definately stop Disney traffic!

It's been a long time!! I will be waiting for the picture when you get back!!



Adorable!!! I just love this dress! Here it is on Lyddie.

Okay, that is a promise then! Love Lydia in the Alice dress!

 

[SallyfromDE]

So - I found a few 'ringer' tshirts at Walgreens for $1 and just couldn't resist buying a few. I whipped up a new project last night while watching football:

I really wish they had plain white shirts in DD1's size (24 months.) I searched everywhere and all I could find in her size were onesies. Can anyone suggest a place?

This is such a cute idea! I love it.

My mom remarried a Bob after my dad passed....just found that a little funny. I hope that your day goes well. My dad's birthday is just a couple weeks before mine, it's always fairly somber for me.

My father and step father both had the same birthday! lol!

Hi All

I just finished my Donald Duck t-shirt for the Big Give but not that it's off the hoop, I see hoop marks! Is there some way to get these off? Do I mist around the marks and then iron? Or would steam ironing take it off? I'm almost afraid to iron that I'll set in hoop marks! Please help!

That's all I do. Just spray and press.

Thanks to everyone that responded about the pillowcase dress pattern!!! Now I am off to find someone to make a few for my DD for our trip in May I sure wish I had the talent of sewing. Again, THANKS!!

It's easy and you'll be a pro before you know it. Quite a few of these great designs are from people that haven't been sewing that long.
