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

[princesssfws]

She is so precious! I love the Tink outfit! DD has a Gymbo tutu about that same color and it never occurred to me to make her a Tink shirt to go with it.

?

Yep it's the Gymbo tutu from Pop of Daisies - makes it much easier to just buy the tutu. I think I saw a blue one is coming to the outlets so I'll have to pick that up and do something w/ Cinderella on the shirt. With a 4mth old I don't have as much time to sew so if I can get the bottoms somewhere else I'm all over it.

The Toy Story dress was a customer request and I think it turned out so cute.

and the back:

And last but not least. I made this for Chelsea's Big Give. It just melted my heart to see the pictures of the kids in these outfits. They are such a sweet family.

I love it all but the Toy Story stuff is awesome!

Does anyone need a fridge at Pop Century from February 4- February 9? I'm in a fridge swap and the person after me backed out. So, I'm hoping to keep it out of storage! Here's a link to the swap. It also has a coffee pot!
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1424360

We're staying at Pop too, per the birthday boy's request (this trip is for DS1's 13th). Since DD is 3 now we had to get two rooms, but for the first Disney trip EVER DH and I will have our own space! I've got money on still finding small children in our bed when we wake up though...lol.

Thanks for the compliments on Dimbo, it's all I've heard about for like a month! And if you're looking for things to digitize, I'd like to request more Minnie princesses! That Snow White was like 67 or so (nonsensical) steps, it was miserable!

Yay!! Hopefully we'll see each other! What days are you going to be there? Will you be there Sunday evening? Are you coming to the Disboutiquer meet at ESPN? Is that enough questions?

Life got in the way the last few days so I fell back a few pages but I LOVE everything that has been posted! That toy story feliz is awesome! We leave in 4 days so I am busy sewing! Almost done! Hope to have a few things to share tomorrow!

FOUR days!!! Let's do the 4 day dance!

Go Heather Go! I can't wait to see you guys are going to have a great time!

Don't get too excited. Tessa didn't want new dresses or skirts this time. So, there are no frills. Thankfully, she will still wear her dresses for previous trips. So, she'll mostly be wearing older stuff.

 

[aboveH20]

I couldnt resist sending something to CHelsea and Fuller - they are just so stinkin cute!!!!

Wow. I love them!

Hey Guys -

Say a prayer for our past big give girlie Madison - she is in NIH and there is something growing on her blood cells and Mom doesnt know what is going on or when they will be discharged. She emailed me because she had signed up to make an Eye Spy bag for Mallory, but now she cant and she was wondering if anyone would be able to make that for Mallory for her????

I'll go sign up -- since I seem to be a "one hit wonder" with Eye Spy bags. I made shirts for Madison, her mother and grandmother, and it was SO COOL to see them wearing the shirts in her trip report.

Before I start, let me just BRAG a minute. I went with my daughter to my son-in-laws Army Boot Camp Graduation last week. It started off rather rough when we landed in NC late at night and they cancelled our connecting flight. We needed to be in SC by the following morning at 5 or so, so her inlaws (who had already driven 14 hrs that day to get to SC) had to drive another 3 hrs to pick us up and take us back to SC. Crazy night to say the least. However....during graduation they gave special awards to 25 guys out of roughly 1250 soldiers. My son-in-law was one of those 25. I am SOOOO PROUD of him...I just had to brag a moment. He got the award for his Marksmanship (is that the correct spelling).

I have actually been sewing some. I finished a few outfits I will post. I have made these for some friends/customers.

This is a Raggedy Ann modified Simply Sweet. I made a twirl skirt out of Fat Quarters and attached to a SS top.

The next is a twirl skirt and shirt to match with a Scottie Dog theme. This skirt is also made with Fat Quarters.

The Toy Story dress was a customer request and I think it turned out so cute.

and the back:

This one is also for a customer. I Love this Winnie the Pooh fabric.

and sorry the picture looks a little wonky...I still haven't figured out how to take a straight picture of these ruffles.

And last but not least. I made this for Chelsea's Big Give. It just melted my heart to see the pictures of the kids in these outfits. They are such a sweet family.

Congrats to your SIL. We went to the navy boot camp graduation for our son and it is a very impressive event.

Your sewing is wonderful. I can't say enough times how much I enjoy seeing all of the creativity on this board. I honestly think it does something for our inner well being to create and see the creations of others.

I missed capturing photos of the great autograph quilt, a bunch of very nice outfits for the Big Give and the adorable little Dumbo outfit, Denise's awesome Felizes (good to see you again -- I not too long ago forwarded the patchwork twirl instructions you gave me way back when to Above H2O). And tons of other cute things like the Minnie dot Simply Sweet and ruffled jeans --adorable! And Nicole's beautiful dresses

Yup, I've got the instructions and I'm STILL working on my first real patchwork. (Maybe I can graduate from Eye Spy bags to real live clothing for Big Gives .) I've got the rows stitched and now onto gathering.

 

[Adi12982]

I'm going to meet Stacey and Lauren! Can you believe we've "known" each other for over 3 years and never met? I seriously can't wait!

It is crazy - I am pretty sure I started posting on here February of 2008 - so I'm coming up on my 3 year anniversary, too. I've been on a bit of a hiatus since the baby - but mostly since I'm friends with so many of you on FB anyhow. I am excited to see everyone this weekend! (and a little nervous too - I tend to be a bit shy).

 

[teresajoy]

Glad it was amusing for you and Teresa


Today was seriously not the day to sew. When I finally got all my machine back together I could not figure out why it was not feeding. Well I took it apart and put it back together again and before I threw it out the window DH came in and noticed I had the feeder switch off. So got that turned on and managed to get through Pooh and half way through Tigger. Course I broke 2 needles which I have not done in I do not know when. After the second one broke I decided Tigger was not getting done tonight. I am thinking there is a glass of wine with my name on it once I get the kiddos to bed!

Sorry about the bad sewing day! I've done that more than once with the feed dogs. I always feel so silly after I figure it out! And, I HATE when needles keep breaking! Last month I was sewing buttonholes in elastic, and broke FOUR needles before I decided to just cut slits without the buttonholes!

Can I just say: JEALOUS!!!
My husband is always accusing me of ignoring him and the kids while looking @ Disney and Sewing stuff...however it is fine for him to be totally consumed in a football game that doen't even include a team he roots for!! One day I will have one of those and a cute cover! ...jealous...jealous...jealous...

This just made me laugh!

Thanks...I just finished my first Simply Sweet and I'm thrilled with the results! It was so much easier than I thought.

It was so frustrating because I ran out of fabric at 9-ish last night and had to obsess over it until 10 this morning. I was so afraid that they would run out of the Minnie dot fabric (which is very likely...the lady said it has happened many times) but luckily it was in stock! I ran home and finished it. Yay! I was so thrilled with the outcome that I went back and bought additional fabric so I could do a longer version (knee-length) for our AK day. YAY!

The outfit looks great!!! See, once you get started on the SS, it is really pretty easy! Your daughter is going to look adorable in this!

Okay I finally have a few to share!

The first is Chelsea's Big Give:

Princess Aurora dress and crown

Prince Philip shirt for big brother:

Snow White dress:

And finally, Dumbo. DD loves the Dumbo ride and always wants to ride in one of the pink Dumbos. So for this trip she requested a pink Dimbo outfit. Excuse the quality of the pics, I was using my phone.

Flying like Dimbo:

She wanted to sleep in it tonight, but we convinced her that she should pack it instead.

TFL!

The Aurora dress is gorgeous!!! I especially like the crown you made!!! And, Prince Phillip is so cool!! The Snow Whit is darling, is the fabric sparkly?

But, my FAVORITE is the DUMBO!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! Absolutely ADORABLE!!!!! Your daughter is just too cute too!!! I like the picture of her flying!

and here is the last shirt I did for my Godson's birthday. Need to get these wrapped and in the mail.

Think I might do one of these quick for my little guy tonite I have some plain long sleeve shirts in the house.

it looks so cute!

Love the ruffle butt dresses ...DD always had ruffle butT diaper covers when little!!!
quilt is so pretty!
Big Give outfits are great!!

taking megan to Great Wolf Lodge this coming weekend for a little get away for the first time! looking forward to playing in the water!

wasn't first for Taylors Big Give, was 30 something, but finally got to it last night! very pretty girls!

I would love to go to Great Wolf Lodge someday! Have a great time!!!

How wonderful that he has beat this!!! You probably know that this is what the the little Wish Boy, Bryce had. Has your cousin thought of requesting a Wish trip? It sounds like they really deserve it.

I think it is really wonderful that you are helping them out like this. I wish I could help you on the sizing. I do have some garment size charts in the bookmarks, they might help you.

I did not know about Bryce. I only knew everyone was sad when he was gone. I do not know what a wish trip is, so I am guessing my cousin doesnt either. I did speak do a higer up at disney that has helped me personally on a couple of things and she is going to make his room look like magic was there, but she said since he beat it, he could not go as a "Make a wish" which is fine by us! we are glad he has beat it! We will gladly send him. im thinking i will just make east fits and t's and err on the side of too big. thanks!

I really think your cousin would qualify for a Wish trip. There are several different Wish organizations. He had a life threatening illness, that is usually all it takes! If you want anymore information, please PM me. I would love to see him get a Wish trip!!!

 

[teresajoy]

I have come to the conclusion...i really do not like to make the same dress more than once. If DD (Megan) had not asked so sweetly AND this pattern goes together pretty quickly, I would have said no.
The one without a Pooh Character is a gift for a cousin who is the same age as Hannah, I like the ties at the shoulder.
They are cheerful to look at with all these grey days and SNOW

I'm off to do a red Hello Kitty for V-Day

These dresses are beautiful!!!! they just make me smile.

5 days until Disney!!!!
It will only be a 3 night trip but it will be great.

Lauren is holding her Snicklefritz Friend waldorf doll (LisaZoe's newest venture) - Malea will be coming to WDW with us so she had to have matching clothes too.

This is a CASE of Jeanne - Lauren is going to see the Lion King show in Providence in February - not sure if she will wear this at WDW next week or not.

Jammies for the PJ party Saturday night at POP - I have matching shirt and pants. Pants can be found at Walmart - I cut a pair up to make some easy fits for Lauren.

An up-cycled dress - to wear at EPCOT on Sunday and to the meet Sunday evening

A Mickey-Minnie vida with no real front/back - Lauren can wear it either way - to wear at MK on Monday

Stacey, these outfits are just magnificent!!! And, I just love Lauren, she is such a cutie!!! I only wish I were getting to meet you too!!!

I can't even pick a favorite outfit from these!!! I love them all!

Sorry for the MIA but I got into a car accident and most likely my car is totaled. With just about 30 days to our trip I just started to make the custom twirls to go with our pirate shirts. I plan to spend the rest of the week getting the strips ready and the embroidery on them.

I won't even try to catch up but will start fresh from here. I did see a quilt that for cute and jean pants with red ruffles, great B&W purse too.

Wishing everyone well and safe.

April, did you go to your doctor or at least call to let them know what happened? I'm worried after your fall the other week and now this. Like Heather said, I just hate that you had to go through another car accident after all you've been through.

Okay, I think I was subconsciously staying away from this board because all this CUTENESS is making me want to get my machines out even more...waaah! They are still buried in the black hole that is our storage space! Hopefully for not much longer.

Only remotely sewing related, but I did finally find a spot for my machines! Here it is, my new sewing space! Cute mannequins on the porch are included!

Nice house! I especially like the mannequins on the porch!!!

Can I join back in this thread?

I was gone for awhile b/c my girls got older and didn't want cutesy customs. But we had a little surprise so now I have a little girl to dress all cutesy and fun again. Her first trip will be in May and she'll be almost 8 mths old. I need to start stalking this thread again to get ideas.

Here is our new little one:

And her first custom for WDW:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is just BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! What a wonderful surprise! I love her little Tink custom!!! How cute is that!

It's time to get sewing again...look at my ticker!!! We decided to do a weekend getaway for Savannah's birthday...she wants to wear a birthday princess t-shirt, and have me make a Rupunzel dress for Rebecca. DH and Marissa (18) have agreed to wear Incredibles t-shirts too. I figure anything I make can be worn again on the cruise in June. I'm so excited!!! We're staying at POR (BC too expensive this trip) and getting tix for LaNouba. Let the planning begin!

How fun!!! I love that everyone agreed to dress up! Have you seen LaNouba before? I think it looks so neat! I bet your daughters are excited about that!

Folded up:

Now I have to get back to sewing before I can share more pictures!

What a neat idea! I love these!

I couldnt resist sending something to CHelsea and Fuller - they are just so stinkin cute!!!!

Anyone want to do the Scrapbook for Taylor's big give?????

Seriously Wendy, how do you find the time to be so stinkin nice! These outfits are so adorable!!! Is that the ruffle skirt from Carla's Perfectly Preppy pattern?

has anyone ever used the insia pattern I am making outfits for taylor and i think these would come out cute with the appliques i have for chef mickeys, i have the fab 5 in chef hats and i was thinking minnie, daisy, donald, and goofy on the skirt and mickey on the shirt it is the same mickey that is at the restaraunt, him holding the forks, the insa is a 4 panal skirt with an underlay and it has a ruffle on it just asking for opions i really want to stay away from the twirl because of her age and the designs are a little more grown up.
thanks any input would help

I know others have answered too, but I just wanted to say that I think it sounds like an adorable outfit!

Hey Guys -

Say a prayer for our past big give girlie Madison - she is in NIH and there is something growing on her blood cells and Mom doesnt know what is going on or when they will be discharged. She emailed me because she had signed up to make an Eye Spy bag for Mallory, but now she cant and she was wondering if anyone would be able to make that for Mallory for her????

Oh no! Wendy, thank you so much for letting us know. I will be praying for them. Our Wish families go through so much, I just hate when they have yet something else thrown at them like this.

Ok...seriously...I went out of town last week for 4 days and the had family things to do the rest of the weekend. When I got back on, I was 20 pages or so behind! NOOOOO! I will never catch up so I started taking notes and I will comment a little at a time.

Before I start, let me just BRAG a minute. I went with my daughter to my son-in-laws Army Boot Camp Graduation last week. It started off rather rough when we landed in NC late at night and they cancelled our connecting flight. We needed to be in SC by the following morning at 5 or so, so her inlaws (who had already driven 14 hrs that day to get to SC) had to drive another 3 hrs to pick us up and take us back to SC.

Sorry for such a long post. I still have 10 pages to catch up on but wanted to get some of it on here before I continued.

I'm sorry about the rough trip!! What wonderful inlaws your daughter has (did I get that right?) I'm so glad you were able to make it in time!!! And congratulations to your SIL!!!

These outfits are all adorable. I really like the Raggedy Ann one!

1.)Okay, I now have 1 outfit finished for Tessa- it's a Star Wars Clone Wars outfit (appliqued denim capris and t-shirt). I have the pants finished for Sawyer's Star Wars outfit, and I still need to applique R2D2 on the shirt. I have the pants for Tessa's 2nd outfit almost completed and I need to applique a shirt to go with that. I'd like to applique a few shirts for myself. But, time is running short! Sawyer has requested a Peter Pan silhouette shirt for himself, so I would like to make him a new one. But, I only have 4 more days and I'm staying up way too late tonight! Ahhhh!!!! On the plus side, I am getting to catch up with all of you again and that makes me happy!


2.)Commercial pattern? I don't understand? :lol: I haven't used a commercial pattern in 3 years or so!

3.)I'm going to meet Stacey and Lauren! Can you believe we've "known" each other for over 3 years and never met? I seriously can't wait!

1.) Did you post pictures of the outfits yet? I can't wait to see them! And, I love that Sawyer is requesting a new shirt!! I love that boy!

2.)

3.)I'm so jealous!!!

The kids have a playroom, my dh has a room for his pool table and model trains, and I share the kitties bathroom as my sewing room??? So not fair!

.

You just about made me spit coffee onto my keyboard with that line!

Hmmmm??? Feeling like I could scrap our plans for that day and we could all wear old Star Wars shirts. But those are the last shirts we wore to MGM on our most recent trip. And that is probably the one and only custom Luke has worn there???? And his is almost done. Just not loving it.

 

[cogero]

I am just testing how my tickers look since I am missing Disney

 

[T-rox]

So sweet! Congrats! I like the tink outfit.

she's so cute! wish i had another one

 

[T-rox]

T-Rox - I am so happy you found the appliques for the Cat in the Hat outfit. You did an excellent job on the dress. I am thinking I may make one for my DGD's 100th day of school (I guess I need to find out when that is )
Also, the Pirate outfit is really cute. You picked some very unique designs and they all turned out great on the outfit. Having fun with the machine, I can tell!
thank you
And last but not least. I made this for Chelsea's Big Give. It just melted my heart to see the pictures of the kids in these outfits. They are such a sweet family.

love them all but this is my fave

 

[billwendy]

Above H2O - thanks so much for picking that up for Tammy - Im sure she is going to feel relieved!!!

The skirt is the Audrey skirt from Lisa - I just showed the ruffly back because its so ruffly - lol!!!!

 

[1308Miles]

Okay I finally have a few to share!

The first is Chelsea's Big Give:

Princess Aurora dress and crown

And for Mallory's Big Give:

Snow White dress:

And finally, Dumbo. DD loves the Dumbo ride and always wants to ride in one of the pink Dumbos. So for this trip she requested a pink Dimbo outfit. Excuse the quality of the pics, I was using my phone.

Flying like Dimbo:

Oh my...the cuteness! Are those Simply Sweet variations? I would love to know where you got the pattern for the add-ons (waist, etc.) My DD is OBSESSED with Cinderella (she calls her 'Rella) and I really want to make her a 'Rella dress for our trip.

and here is the last shirt I did for my Godson's birthday. Need to get these wrapped and in the mail.

So cute! My DS's 2nd birthday party had a construction theme...I wish I could go back in time and make this shirt for his party!

So pretty...those are so springy! I'm definitely in need of spring right about now. We just got 4" today and are expecting 12+" on Wednesday night (this is on top of the 30+" we had on the ground!) I'm afraid to let DS go out and play in the snow after he gets home from school...we might never find him!

This is a CASE of Jeanne - Lauren is going to see the Lion King show in Providence in February - not sure if she will wear this at WDW next week or not.

WOW! That's impressive. Well done.

Sorry for the MIA but I got into a car accident and most likely my car is totaled. With just about 30 days to our trip I just started to make the custom twirls to go with our pirate shirts. I plan to spend the rest of the week getting the strips ready and the embroidery on them.

Oh no. Hope you are okay...you've had a rough few weeks!

Okay, I think I was subconsciously staying away from this board because all this CUTENESS is making me want to get my machines out even more...waaah! They are still buried in the black hole that is our storage space! Hopefully for not much longer.

I have another project to share now that a Big Give package has arrived at its destination - this time I made jewellery rolls!

Folded up:

View of the other side & inside the roll:

Now I have to get back to sewing before I can share more pictures!

Love these. What a great idea.

I couldnt resist sending something to CHelsea and Fuller - they are just so stinkin cute!!!!

Seriously, I agree with the other poster (forgive me, I can't remember who posted it!)...how DO you find the time to be so sweet?

The Toy Story dress was a customer request and I think it turned out so cute.

and the back:

My DS would go bananas for this (not the fact that it's a dress, but the Toy Story part...)

I like in Brookfield (between Danbury and New Milford) and we certainly are getting socked!
I foster rescue dogs and the transport for this week has been rescheduled twice! We went from Wed to Friday as of this afternoon.

 

[ms_mckenna]

I would love some opinions I am kind of stuck for lack of a better word.
I made this top for DD

I am trying to decide what to put with it. Originally I was just going to put it with a petti and call it done which I may still do. I am looking at other options though so here are my thoughts ....
Leslies ribbon trimmed twirl skirt
strip work twirl skirt
story book twirl skirt (have a pooh storybook)
easy fit short shorts with a ruffle.
What would you ladies do?

 

[PrincessCooper's Mom]

I have been making outfits to sale in local children's consignment sale and have run into small problem. I am hoping some of you talented ladies can help me.

I have my shorts in all sizes made all except cutting and running my elastic through. I have sizes 6 mths, 12 mths, 18 mths, 24 months, 2T, 3T, 4T and 5T. I usually just sew for my daughter and waist size is not an issue. Does anyone have general mesurements that they use for these sizes.

Please help I am trying to sew our way back to Disney!!!

Oh! I know exactly where that is...my DH is from Ridgefield! We live in a very small rural town south of Middletown.

Finished my 2nd Simply Sweet last night...I think I have got the hang of this!

Here it is on my constantly-in-motion DD (she was busy watching Dora and holding her 'Rella cup and too distracted to look at the camera!)

I'm planning on adding a black bow to the Minnie head on the bodice...I'm still learning how to perfect the boutique bow!

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

What is the simplest way to turn a t-shirt into a dress? Do I cut off the bottom of the shirt?

If you have many other projects left, I'd just do the petti. I think it would look gorgeous with it.

But if you are all done I'd do Leslie's ribbon twirl - I chose it because I think it would look best with a skirt, and Leslie's is simple yet gorgeous!
