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

[cogero]

Thanks Jessica! We are having the same problem...both shirts seem to go well!

OH gosh I totally love the bambi dress but they are all fabulous.


I have a question, I had an idea of something I wanted to do with either a charm pack or some kind of patchwork. Do you wash and iron these first as you would with normal fabric.

I do.....in fact hubby is thinking about installing an apratment sized w/d in the studio for me...since I seem to wash fabric several times before I actually use it!

I made a patchwork twirl with a charm pack and I didn't wash it first. I did serge each piece together and it is still intact. usually, I do wash ALL fabric first...I just couldn't fatham ironing all those little squares!

Thanks about the bambi! I just ran out and got a pair of light jeans to go with it because I didn't like the dark ones I had!

Ok my DD is 9. She loves all the different things you all make and she wants something special for our upcoming trip. My sister has agreed to make her something but we are not sure what to make her. Do any of you have any suggestions for a little girl who just turned 9, that loves her Dis trips. She just doesn't want to look like a baby. Basically she wants to look hip but still with Disney.

Any suggestions.

BTW yall amaze me, I wish I was 1/4 a talented as you all with sewing. Hats off to each of you!!!

I would have her look through here or the photobucket account (the info should be on page 1) and have her pick our stuff she likes. And then see if your sister can make it. Good luck! I hope my DDs still wants to wear customs at 9!

Are you ready to be bombarded with pics!

First the tink feliz...she requested no ruffles. I made an elongated peasant top to match.

Next up is Snow White. Also, an elongated peasant top to match. She had fun twirling!

Mickey simply sweet top with pants that I added some fabric to.

Lion King Vida...I don't know about the shirt...SHould I do the dark blue or light blue?

Patchwork twirl. This is an old dress that I repurposed. I replaced the bodice and added the hem on the bottom...210 inches of hem!:scared1:

Here is the original patchwork twirl from august 2008!

And last but not least...the bambi simply sweet...made a peasant top again! Love that easy pattern!

where did u get all the fabric?

 

[mommyof2princesses]

where did u get all the fabric?

Lets see....

Snow white panel on ebay, snow white fabric hobby lobby
Lion king on ebay
Mickey at Walmart
Tink at Walmart
bambi at hobby lobby
and the patchwork was a collection from hobby lobby, ebay, hancocks, joanns, and walmart!

 

[cogero]

My daughter is 9 and I did skirts and shirts for our last trip.

I am moving towards a couple dresses for august. The trick is not to make them babyish. Look at the photobucket account and let her choose.

Wow...no favorites here! I love them all! Great idea repurposing the twirl...I would have hated for her to outgrow that one too. You did a great job!

Major envy here for all of you going to WDW in the next few days/weeks. I wish I were going to meet all of you! I hope you all have a wonderful trip. Please post pics of everyone when you get back!!

I did not do this dress but the way I line up multiple designs is not to line up the bottom. They always seem to come out wrong. line up the centers of the design. Take an air erasable pen and draw a centerline horizontal across where you want the characters to be. The middle one will be dead center. Each side character will be centered up and down on the line. You will need to know the width of each design and leave a little extra in between. I hope this is clear if not just ask about what is unclear.

Okay, that sounds doable. Now what if they are different sizes? Any suggestions?

Visiting April....that is a ruffler foot...
And that (the wish info) was what I was afraid of. She was in hospice at age two... now her family can't afford a trip. She has been in a wheelchair for the past year, and the prognosis is getting bleaker by he day. Now Mom just found out she is pregnant again with another high risk pregnancy. (she lost two and had her last one 8 weeks early, but he is fine now)

I guess I need to find a way to save a little extra money and try to take her with us this trip...2 wheelchairs shouldn't be too much problems...right? LOL

Did you try to contact them again? Maybe they know of some organization or have a suggestion. Can't hurt to ask.

I really love those wallets. I am going to bookmark that tutorial.

My wonderful DH has been washing fabric for me for the past 2 days. I had a bunch of fat quarters laying around forever so I brought it up to wash so it is ready to use. The wonderful guy that he is he even folded them for me.

Then today I received my shirts from Jiffy Shirts for Khelsey's give and he washed those for me and then I received an order from Fabric.com for Khelsey's give and he started washing that for me. He is just such a sweetie.

I am going to start a few things in the next day or so.

Do you rent him out?

I guess I'm really bad. I don't wash anything.

My outfit for Kirsta, age 9. She loved the style and we will do more for next trip. I think it's the portrait peasant, made into a tunic with bike shorts.

When we return next October, I will have a 10 year old. For now, she has requested either appliqued T shirts or the Vida dress (but worn as a shirt). She wants to wear denim shorts or capris with the tops and NO matching trims on the denim!. And she has requested more tween designs. Like "peace, love, Mickey" (CASED from Leslie!) or more grown up characters like Jack Skeleton and Sally!

Here she is in her Christmas Dress. We found a red fabric with a huge white polka dot on it, with it have my sister make her a similar pillow case dress. But make it short so she can wear it with a pair of black capris. I will have her trim it with a black ribbon. But not put actually put Minnie on it.

So so cute!

 

[paysensmom]

I have just started making burp cloths and a few things for myself and to give to give at baby showers. I would like some little (very small) satin type tags to sew in the corner or something so they will know I made the items for them. Where can I get these or is there a cheaper alternative to make your own?
Thanks so much

For those of you in the know about Wish Trips....does anyone know of an organization that gives second chance Wish trips?

I have a little friend with Mito. She took a MAW trip when she was two, because they thought she was terminal...instead she spent most of the trip in the hospital in Orlando. She is 9 now, and has had a lot of problems recently. She is a fighter...and she loves Disney. If I had the money I would send her myself. (truthfully, if I thought I could deal with all her medical issues, I'd take her with me on my next trip! But I KNOW my limitations...)

I lurk on the Disboutiquers Board, drooling over the beautiful items you all make and admiring the incredible talent. I am not gifted that way; however, I appreciate the Wonderful items you make. I saw this request and wanted to pass this information along about a possible solution to help your little friend. I don't know if they can or will help; however, it is a place to start and ask. I hope it might bring some joy to your friend.

http://kidswishnetwork.org/

Kids Wish Network
1-888-918-9004
Note: this organization provides first wishes, funeral assistance and may consider a second wish.

Kids Wish Network grants wishes to children between the ages of 3 & 18 who are living with a life threatening illness. To medically qualify for a wish, the child's doctor must sign a form indicating that the child's condition is "life threatening." No other medical criteria, prognosis or opinion regarding life expectancy is required.

Kids Wish Network has developed a funeral assistance program to assist the families of our wish kids who have passed away, up to the age of 21 years.

Although their primary mission is to grant first wishes, although Kids Wish Network will grant second wishes determined on a case by case basis.

Kids Wish Network actively seeks out children who have "slipped through the cracks" of society; that is those without parents or other advocates. Once the wish is granted, Kids Wish Network doesn't end contact with the child. In fact, they try and maintain ongoing relationships with all of their "wish kids" and their families. Kids Wish Network accepts referrals from social service and health organizations, as well as referrals from family and friends of the sick children. If the child meets the Kids Wish Network criteria, the Network speaks with the parent/guardian and an application is mailed for them to complete. When the completed application is returned to the Kids Wish Network office and the Board of Directors reviews the information, the process begins on the wish granting.

Even though Kids Wish Network grants wishes to sick children all over the United States, they have one base of operation and that is in Oldsmar, Florida. All wishes, public relations and funding come through this administrative office. This allows them to keep their overhead on administrative expenses low, with more funds going to granting the wishes of their "wish kids."
