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

[Tweevil]

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

I have seen people use the printable fabric -you slide it through your printer and set with an iron. They use any word program to format what they want and print it out. You could also use the iron on transfer stuff and iron that onto ribbon. I ready somewhere that someone did this and then set it with something on top but I am at a loss for what it was to set it.

There are also many, many companies that will print them for you. Here is one: http://misslabel.com/label/pages/products/care_tags_design.cfm.

I have an emb file for mine so I just embroider it on a wider ribbon.

Hope this helps you

Hi Everyone!

I need some help. For Valentines day, Tim wants me to make him an "I heart(shape) Mario" shirt -

He will wear a size 8 tshirt - Im going to have to rehoop....should I do the I and the heart in 4x4 with Mario under it in a 5x7 or will that be too big? I want big and bold though...

Does anyone have a applique letter I ?or know where I can get a free one? or a simple heart?

Then I was going to make a pair of easyfit Jeans and put yoshi and luigi and the star and stuff on the pant legs.....thoughts? He is 6 years old, this wont look to babyish, will it? I know he will love it, but dont want others to think he looks like a baby - lol.....

Thanks Everyone!! Snowing like crazy here!!

I bought mine off of ebay a few years ago, but they weren't satin. Mine came from a seller overseas. Super nice looking and fairly cheap too.

I just wanted to say that you ladies amaze me. I hope to learn just a fraction of what you ladies know! I just bought a new Janome machine and am completely overwhelmed with all of its gadgets and gizmos. I started out on a White with no bells or whistles but now I have so many buttons an no clue how to use them. My goal is to learn my new machine, use my new machine, and pass my White down to my little girls, as well pass down the family traditions to them. Wish me luck and any pointers you wish to share, please do!

Hey Everyone,
I'm looking for a little help. I've been have WAY too much fun with my new brother 770!!!
We are going to WDW in March and my dad and stepmom are meeting us there. My stepmom LOVES Jiminy Cricket, so I want to make her a bag or a shirt or something, but I can't find a pattern anywhere. I know some of the digitizers used to take requests, but I can't seem to find one. I'm willing to pay....
Any suggestions???
Also, I have hand appliqued a few things, and don't mind doing it, but I've really only done the Mickey heads. In other words, nothing with a face and eyes. This is what worries me about doing it by hand.

 

[heatherskiba]

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!!!

kelli

My daughter will be 7 when we go, and I'm currently making her a pair of jeans which she LOVES!. I'll post pics when I am done, but basically I ripped the pockets off, did a Minnie and Mickey on each pocket, sewed them back on, then did the Minnie and Mickey feet on the bottom of each pant leg. They are so cute, I'm tempted to make a pair for myself!

Finished Lilo today for EE. Tried to be simple

I just love that fabric, I want it as car seat covers! Your dress is super sweet.

Hey All!

It has been SO LONG since I've been on here. I just read through the last few pages of the thread and realized I don't know a lot of you! Shameful on my part! I swear it's my New Year's resolution to do better!

The holidays were so busy I haven't been on. But on the positive side...I have been sewing! I had three little neighbor girls who went to WDW for Christmas and I couldn't resist making dresses for all three of them. Of course, I procrastinated as always, and had to work on them for about 10 days straight. I know some of you can just whip things up so quickly, but I am so slow! Then we had the holidays which were busy and wonderful! My kiddos went back to school and then we had a snow day! Snow days here in Dallas are far and few between so we enjoyed it. Then the dreaded stomach flu hit us...hard! It knocked me and my three girls out for about 5 days from the start to the finish. Just yucky! Nothing more pathetic than a two year old trying hard not to puke and when she finally gave in she would just hang her head in the pan and hug it while she did. Pathetic!

Finally we were all well again and I had two more dresses to work on quick like! I had promised Amber G. (a mother of a wish tripper/Big Give recipient) that I would make the dresses I made for her two girls again for her for them to wear to 1900 Park Fare. It was the simply sweet (which I love) but I had hand appliqued the bodice on them. Since I got my embroidery machine 18 months ago or so I haven't done any hand embroidery so that took some time to refamiliarize myself. But I got them done in the knick of time and mailed them off last week. And of course, would you think I would take pictures of anything I've made???? Of course not! I did get to see pictures of Amber's girls wearing them and it makes me so happy!

So our next trip is coming up the end of April and I need to get sewing. I've got my three girls to sew for along with my niece and nephew. Better get sewing but I promise to be around more!

Benita, I was just using my ruffler foot and thinking of you. You were so kind to let me have it and it has been well used. Glad to see you back. I am having a problem catching up too and learning the new folks. Everyone is still as nice as before.

Who all is going to be at WDW between March 22 and April 5th. Would love to meet up with a few. If not, Look for a blonde family with three teens, one 6'6" and a 12 year old in a wheelchair with lots of medical attachments!

I am so glad that there are now 3 of us who are going to be there at the same time. I will have the 8 year old in the SN stroller and all in customs. PM me and let's see if we can do a mini meet.

I wanted to thank everyone for the kind words about my car accident. It was traumatic and has me very upset. I am really starting to consider that my fall on the snowboard has a direct correlation with the car accident and another serious event.

Unfortunately, there is nothing that a dr. can do, no tests can make the brain heal quicker. I just have to keep using the brain and get the wires to reset once again.

My car estimate came in and was $17 less than what I paid for the car. So I will wait for State Farm and see what happens when a car is totaled.

It has been a hard start to the new year but our faith in God and a desire to pick myself back up will continue. We will get through this and more trials in our life.

 

[3Princesses04]

I am new here and I am in LOVE with all of these outfits! I wouldn't even know where to start to make custom outfits for my girls. I own a sewing machine, but that is about it. I might have to wander over to etsy. Great work ladies!

 

[1308Miles]

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

This is my favorite...I LOVE the matching jeans!

Finished Lilo today for EE. Tried to be simple

SO cute! Your DD is precious! I wish mine would pose like that.

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.

I love this idea. How easy is the Portrait Peasant? I'm thinking that I'd like to try one for DD.

I really like this one too... perfect for a tween!

Thanks for the help with the I heart everyone!!! you are all so helpful and kind!!

You got lucky, Wendy! We got about 24" on top of the 5" from Tuesday and the 24" from last week. We are positively BURIED and my kids are going insane!

You've really been through the wringer over the past few months. I agree...any TBI will likely slow your reaction time. Does your doctor recommend a moratorium on driving for a while?

So - with all the time at home during the past few days, I got a few new projects done:

The AK dress (without silly DD running around in it!) Still waiting to add the boutique bow on Minnie's head.

A personalized shirt for DD (again - waiting to put the hot pink boutique bow on Minnie):

closeup:

A matching skirt (these were actually shorts that were on sale at Target...just cut off the bottoms and made them a skirt!)

PS - they are sort of lying strangely...I swear, the ruffle looks a lot better in person.

The whole outfit:

Do you think I should put some black ric rac on the skirt where the ruffle meets the denim? I think it would tie in the black of the Minnie head . What are your thoughts?

I think ric rac would be really cute or some ribbon.

I guess I don't need to tell you that is is beautiful blue skies and about 65 degrees here today (Houston), do I? I would love to see snow for a couple days but I will take my sunshine anyday!!

Girl....you need to find a padded room and stay in it. Just kidding. I am so sorry for all of the problems you have had. My daughter totalled her car about 3 months ago. Once they total it, they just write you out a check for the amount it is worth. She actually got 1/2 of what we paid for the car 6years ago and it was used when WE bought it. So, in her case (since it was paid for), it was a blessing in disguise. She was able to put it towards a much nicer, newer car. I hope it turns out well for you.

I think the rick rack would definitely look cute on the skirt.
The outfit is really cute though either way.

The portrait peasant is easy peasy. All the gathering is done by elastic in casings.

Black rick rack would look great.

I live a bit north of you in Western Massachusetts, we lucked out again this storm - only 5 inches or so.

2 days until WDW!!!!! Lauren and I are flying out of Bradley airport (Hartford CT) Saturday morning, lets hope the snow stays away until then.

Thank you both so much! Off to check out that site and maybe ebay!

All right, I'm done sewing everything I had planned on sewing for the trip! As I was laying out all of the outfits, I noticed that Sawyer's wardrobe is pretty pitiful. Most everything has been worn many times. He only has one new outfit. But, he won't care, so I'll try not to care either. Here are some pics:

For DHS:

For MK:

I cut holes in Tessa's jeans and then put the appliques behind them. I washed the pants, so the holes are a little more frayed and look cooler than when I took this picture.

Closeup of the shirt. I combined 4 designs for this one:

I'm going to try and get some better (less blurry) pictures of just the outfits and post them in a few minutes.

Okay, I'm back. Here's a closeup of Tessa's shirt and pants:

And a closeup of Sawyer's outfit:
