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

[DMGeurts]

My sister and her family are going to Disney next week so I did some shirts for the kids.

For Anna

For Jenny

The back of the girls Cutie shirts

For Tony.

And just for fun I made a couple of placemats for my Mom. Any DIY Dish fans out there?

Wow... these turned out so great... I love the Alice one, and the placemats too! Great job!

LOVE them! I think I'm going to ask DH for an embroidery machine for my birthday for no other reason but to make cute shirts for Disney (as if that wan't a good enough reason!)

TMTQ here...Just wanted to stop by, say hello, and post a pic of my afternoon project:

So much easier than I thought! I may even attempt a Simply Sweet tonight!

I love these too... I am such a sucker for the Minnie dot and yellow ric-rac (but I've never actually made anything with the combo yet)... So, how'd that Simply Sweet go?

Showing off a bit...this is what I made today...not clothes for me or the kids, clothes for my new toy! Now I can read Disboards in the living room while DH is watching a football game I don't care about, and he won't call me antisocial for hiding out on the computer.

The outside...

And the surprise inside, my new toy!!!

I originally found it when looking for an iPad case on , but decided if it existed as a handmade item, there must be a pattern out there someplace. YCMT had it, of course! I might still purchase something a little more heavy duty, this one doesn't seem to offer as much protection as I had hoped. I borrowed an iPad last weekend from a friend to see if I liked it before buying, and the leather cover she had seemed more durable.

Very nice! You are so lucky... I am so glad that my dh dislikes football (we are a big baseball family - GO TWINS!)... Congrats on the new toy!

okay here is what I did today

This is the onsie that gave me fits. DH and DD say it is fine.

and my cousin asked me to make a birthday boy shirt for my godson's first birthday.

Tomorrow I want to finish the dump truck shirt and I will be done and can mail it out.

Wow! Great job!

Those all came out great, I love 'em!

Not directly sewing related but it can be if you use pictures of things you sewed!
Just found an awesome coupon code for Free 8.5x11 hardcover photobooks from Snapfish. They are usually $24.99 and with the coupon all you pay is the $6.99 shipping. I just made a super cute album from our Sept. trip photos. It was cheaper to make the photo book then printing the pics and buying an album. The album is 20 pages long and you can put multiple pics and text on each page. If you want to see how them come out here is a link to the book I just made:

Definitely going to check this out, thanks!

Looks great, can't wait to see the Simply Sweet!

That looks great, I love the case and the ipad. My son got an ipad, but did not want that type of case for it, just a sleeve to put it in, so I made him that instead, but would have liked to try something like yours.

Rocket shirt looks great in the picture, but I know we are always hardest on our own work. I'm sure they will love it!

I have to get cracking on "Dimbo" and "Monterts" tonight!

Dimbo and Monterts- that made me giggle! So cute!

Have fun!

If it weren't for you...my kids would have gone in regular street clothes to Disney last Nov/Dec...How horrible!

So jealous...I want to go back to Disney...somehow I can't fit it into the budget yet...but I am working on it!


Nini

Awww...thank you, Jeanne. You're always so sweet to me. I wish you were going, too.

I have to tell you I do not like doing appliques on onsies I am working on birthday presents for my godson and getting them in my hoop tight enough is driving me nuts.

The first rocketship shirt is done but I am not thrilled with it.

I wonder if old navy sells 18 month t shirts

I'm going to 2nd what Wendy said and tell you to try the hoopless method. I never hoop t-shirts because of the hoop burn it causes.

I use a tack stitch that goes all the way around the edges. If you want it, I'll send it to you for free. Just e-mail me. That goes for everyone!

I hope everyone going to the meet has an awesome time!! Please take lots of pictures for us!!!

We will!!

I have been away from here for awhile and I wanted to say "hi!". I took the last fews days going over the thread and there is some awesome stuff! I have not been sewing much. I made my girls dresses for Christmas (I posted one in Nov.). They were my first Feliz and I love them I finally broke down and bought the Vida pattern and it should be here in a few days. I also made a purse as a present. I hope to be on more often. Thanks for all the inspiration! I need to start thinking about our trip in Sept!

Hi Denise! I'm just starting to think of what to make for our trip and we leave in 6 days! So, you're already quite a few steps ahead of me!

Is it really just that one corner stitch that will hold it all down without having to hoop it? Wow! I guess I was imagining a stitch that went around the perimeter. Thanks!

I use one that goes all the way around the outside. I wouldn't think the corner ones would hold a t-shirt as well since they stretch all around. I didn't take a look at the link, though.

These are all so cute! I'm going to be on the lookout for your family while I'm there!

Very cute capris! Making cute shirts for Disney sounds like a valid reason to get an embroidery machine to me!

Thank you to all. I FINALLY got it. I figured I'd get it eventually, but the help here is what did it. Operator lack of experience was the main problem. (I know where the icon with the guy smashing the computer is, where's the icon of the guy smashing his own head. That's the one I need.) My first Heathersue design .

Oh good!!! I'm so glad it worked for you!

I borrowed an iPad last weekend from a friend to see if I liked it before buying, and the leather cover she had seemed more durable.

This is very cool! I didn't know YCMT had a pattern! I looked for one when I made my Kindle case and couldn't find one. So, I winged it. It looks a lot like yours! I put that craft foam stuff inside of mine for extra protection and structure.

OOOOH!!!! I almost forgot!!! Arminda's friend who is our next door neighbor, is going on her first trip to Disney next month!!! I'm so excited for her. She's been hoping to go for the last few years. Anyway, she has asked me to make her a few custom outfits for the trip. She wants the ruffley Animal Kingdom dress I make "WITH the ruffles!" a Minnie Dot dress and a Drizella dress. She is 13 years old and wants to dress up at Disney, AND wear ruffles! I'm excited.
Now, I just need to convince them that it could be cold in Florida the middle of February!

I'm so excited for Shelby! That little girl deserves some fun! I hope they do listen to you and bring coats and long pants! The average temps are deceiving. I think the average is mid-70's. But, it can get very cold at night and it won't necessarily be that warm when they're there!

Are we the only family with the "Disney Rule" when it comes to clothing? My kids will wear all kinds of crazy things on vacation because they know it's our "family thing" to go wild- where else in the world can you get away with being crazy and indulging your inner child?

I didn't recognize you at first, you sneaky girl!

Yay, it'll be like you're there with us! T said we should skype with people who aren't there. LOL! But, I don't think the internet connection at POP would work too well for that.

I think they look really good! I cannot imagine how difficult working on a onesie would be!

Help pretty please before I throw my machine .
My machine is doing something wierd and I have no idea what to do. When I do my stitch to applique it is bringing the bobbin thread back up through and making like a weird loopy lumpy messy stitch instead of the flat normal stitch. I have adjusted the tension thinking that may be it but it does not really change anything. I have changed out threads and bobbins etc. I have not changed the needle but I didn't think that woudl be it? It of course works for other stitches but not the zig zag which is what I use most. Any ideas?

 

[mom2prettyprincess]

Has anyone ever worked with the Amy Butler laminated fabric or even oilcloth? I am contemplating making a waterproof bag for the parks for our trip in July and would love opinions...Thanks!!

That happened to me as well and it was my needle. try changing it and see if it helps.

Did you take your bobbin casing out and giving it a good brushing? You might have a thread stuck in there. I'm guessing it's nesting underneath? Sometimes it's the stuck thread. I start from scratch. Do the cleaning, new needle, re thread, bobbin etc.....

 

[cogero]

not sure what machine you have but I have an SE400 and use 2 different tensions one for sewing and one for embroidery. Also make sure your hooped fabric is tight enough in the frame. It could also be you need a new needle.

 

[SallyfromDE]

I haven't, but remember, water can come in the seam. So do a fold over seam, or french seam. That would help.

I did that it is so much better now

Hubby is unscrewing my machine now and I am going to do a good cleaning thank you for the tip. It is not nesting under but I am not sure how to describe what it is doing lol. It was just looking like Poo and not the cute one Who incidentally is who I am sewing lol.

Mine is just for sewing lol. One day hopefully I will have an embroidery one.

 

[ms_mckenna]

Oh and Sally before I start sewing again another thank you ... a bird could have built a nest from all the fuzz!

I finally finished the 2nd autograph quilt top--I've been too scared to quilt on the first one, but plan to get some done this week!

 

[ncmomof2]

Hi Denise! I'm just starting to think of what to make for our trip and we leave in 6 days! So, you're already quite a few steps ahead of me!

That is funny! Have a blast!

I love the autography quilt! Maybe I should try one of these...

 

[ncmomof2]

I posted my older DD felix I made for Christmas but nerve got around to the little one, so here she is at the Great Wolf Lodge. What a fun place!

Here they both are when we when to see the Charlie Brown ICE display at the Gaylord Texan. I love the butt ruffles

This is a purse I made for my bunco party. The flower is interchangable and I think I made five different color flowers.

I am glad I finally got the never to try the feliz! It was not too bad but I have to get the bodice to fit better when I make one for our fall trip. I got the Vida pattern in the mail yesterday and I can't with to try it!

 

[teresajoy]

okay here is what I did today

The rocket shirt looks great to me!!

I'm so excited for Shelby! That little girl deserves some fun! I hope they do listen to you and bring coats and long pants! The average temps are deceiving. I think the average is mid-70's. But, it can get very cold at night and it won't necessarily be that warm when they're there!

She has had a very hard year and a half. She really needs something fun like this!! For those on Facebook, Shelby is the little girl who's apartment burned about a month ago.

I think I have Shelby convinced it could be cold. I really hope it's not too bad for them, but it's better to be prepared for cold!

Ya for first Disney trips! Teresa try googling average weather for Orlando in Feb just so they can see. It can get chilly especially at night.

Part of the problem is that they looked it up and saw that the average is 70, I don't know that they looked at what the lows could be though!

I may have to have C run them over some gloves if it gets too bad!

It was just looking like Poo and not the cute one Who incidentally is who I am sewing lol.

Wow!!! I love this!!!

Your kids are so adorable!!! Your youngest reminds me of a little girl that goes to our Kingdom Hall. She's such a cutie!

The bag looks great, did you use a pattern?

 

[HeatherSue]

Soooo.....I suppose I should be actually sewing for our trip right now. But, I'm really enjoying all the free time I have at the moment!

I finally finished the 2nd autograph quilt top--I've been too scared to quilt on the first one, but plan to get some done this week!

I really love this, Debbie! It makes me happy to look at it!

I posted my older DD felix I made for Christmas but nerve got around to the little one, so here she is at the Great Wolf Lodge. What a fun place!

I love the butt ruffles, too! The dresses are SO pretty! I'm hoping to take a trip to Great Wolf Lodge for Tessa's birthday in March. We told her we could do that instead of having a party this year!

The bag is very pretty! I love the interchangable flower- what a great idea!

It was just looking like Poo and not the cute one Who incidentally is who I am sewing lol.

Heeheehee! I'm a sucker for potty humor.

 

[DisneyLaura]

Hello my sewing friends. I don't post often but look at everyone's creations in envy. I do though have a question. DH and I bought a used camper and I want to make curtains. I have my fabric picked out and the measurements of the windows, my question is how do I figure out how much fabric to buy? Do I multiply height and width of window and then my DH has a calculator that that can take inches and turn that into yards but I don't know if that's correct.

Thanks for any help!

Sometimes people don't realize all that the siblings go through - but we can certainly take care of them too!!!!!

Okay - these girls LOVE BAGS!!!! How many bags different types of bags can we think of to send them - oh and they FLIP if something has their name on it!!!! Lets see - Where is are TUTU bag maker?
