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

[billwendy]

I finished Hannah's Valentines outfit today!

And am half done Tim's - thank to those who helped me out!

Elizabeth has decided that she doesnt like the feel of jeans, so I got her a pair of Jeggins and the same tshirt as Hannah.

For those who have been praying for Bob, Thank you so much. He feels it is the power of prayer that is helping him heal so quickly. On Sunday he leaves for his first trip since the surgery as he is teaching at Frontier School of the Bible in Wyoming for the week! Pray it goes well as he gets back into the swing of things!!

That's where my niece graduated from. I'll keep Bob in my prayers.

After conquering 2 Simply Sweets, I am a CarlaC fan! I think I'm ready to branch out from the Simply Sweet...what would be next? Tell me about the Portrait Peasant...is it as easy as the SS?

I haven't made a Simply Sweet but I can tell you the Portrait Peasant is very easy.

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:

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

Wow. You must have been busy. I like all these outfits - especially the repurposed dress. I guess I will be the odd one out here - I like the Lion King dress with navy. I think both colours work though.

Finished Lilo today for EE. Tried to be simple

Oh she looks so cute in that dress! You did a good job on those leaves!

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!

I think the way to learn is to read the manual and start playing with the buttons! Good luck.

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.

I really admire your positive attitude through the troubles you've had lately. I hope you will recover in good time.

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!

I will recommend pulling your sewing machine out and start sewing. You may be surprised at how quickly you can get from sewing "test clothing" to making "real" custom outfits.

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'll vote for adding the ric rac.

For DHS:

For MK:

Those look great! Wow!

Oh Crud-
I messed up big time and could use some advice-
I'm working on a little mermaid outfit for Mallory's big give (nothing like the last minute, I know) - anyway, after many obstacles I finished the skirt, and then went to start the shirt; as I spent the last hour and a half trying to find the design I just knew I had, I realized that, of course, I apparently didn't.

So...
I can use Heathersue's cutie design, which I do own- but the front of the skirt is a more realistic ariel swimming in the water, so the style wouldn't match; or a swirl mickey head in the colors from the skirt maybe; or I could (gasp) leave the shirt plain- of course, I could only find a white short sleeve t, so I'm not sure I'm loving that idea...

Alternatively, I could purchase someone elses' design, does anyone have one they recommend?

TIA

ETA- I could also do a mickey head in the same Ariel fabric as the front of the skirt...

I would do a Mickey head applique in the same fabric.

So as I mentioned last week I attempted to do my second attempt at Easy Fit pants for DS3

I like these. I better not let my former manager see these pictures, her boy is really into Thomas the Train!

Ok what I did today.... first I learned my daughter wears a 2 not a 3 and not to ever doubt that lol. The dress is huge I had just enough fabric left to make a sash though so she is wearing that. I would have remade the dress smaller if I would have had the fabric. I was sad the whole time I was cutting it how pathetic is that?

TFL

Just three comments: First, she looks so darn cute in the dress. Second, I wouldn't realize it was too big until you said something about it. Third, she can wear the dress for a while!

Here are the pathetic photos I have of the kids in some of the stuff I made. We were so covered up most of the time, I didn't do a great job taking pictures of their clothes.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Somehow the picture taken on the bus makes me want to go back to Disney World!

well, our december trip was fun but FREEZING cold!! All that sewing and they were bundled up from head to toe. Here are a few of the pics I caught of them w/out their winter gear.

AK outfits.

I like your idea of using buttons to outline the Mickey heads. I may have to try it some day.

I finished Hannah's Valentines outfit today!

And am half done Tim's - thank to those who helped me out!

Elizabeth has decided that she doesnt like the feel of jeans, so I got her a pair of Jeggins and the same tshirt as Hannah.

For those who have been praying for Bob, Thank you so much. He feels it is the power of prayer that is helping him heal so quickly. On Sunday he leaves for his first trip since the surgery as he is teaching at Frontier School of the Bible in Wyoming for the week! Pray it goes well as he gets back into the swing of things!!

Hannah's outfit is great! Can't wait to see Tim's completed outfit!

 

[mommy2mrb]

more cuteness....the kids and the clothes!!!

PD and prayers to all in need!!!

 

[ms_mckenna]

Beautiful. Always trust Carla

This I know lol. I did a little tweaking on the last top I made and it was small. I am not sure if I did it tweaking it or she is maybe just in between sizes?
I guess we will see when I make Aurora!

Here are the pathetic photos I have of the kids in some of the stuff I made. We were so covered up most of the time, I didn't do a great job taking pictures of their clothes.
Thanks for looking!

Looks like you guys had fun though! I still love how your alien tee turned out.

I think the hot pink would look adorable!!!! If it's too tight at the waist, you could always put in bigger elastic.

TOOOOOOO much cuteness!!!!!!!!! You are just sewing up a storm lately!!!

Gorgeous! That is such a beautiful color on her! It really doesn't look that big. Is that a separate apron? or is that a part of the dress? It looks so pretty!

Problem is I think it is going to be to big. I got it from Angel and the picture of G wearing it she looks like she is about EE's size so I am hoping. The only petti we have right now is a 12m. I so need to buy some pettis ... hint hint lol.
I am just trying to get done before James starts school in March.
Thank you bought the fabric years ago way before she was born but it does fit her. The apron is attached I added the sash because it was so big. When we go I will have to take a picture of the pinned or cinched up back to prove how big it is.

That is so cute! Did you make the bows too?

Thanks to the foot of snow I had a snow day today, I thought I would get some sewing done but it didn't work out that way. My oldest will be 26 on Monday and I am working on a handbag for her but she was home today also so that will have to wait for tomorrow. (I don't work on Fridays) I could have sewn my big give projects but instead I did some cleaning that has been on my list of things to do. Anyway, I made a big pot of Canadian Cheddar Cheese soup for dinner and now I'm spending time catching up on the boards. I am really going to have to focus on the sewing machine this weekend!

Thank you. Actually no they are from Hobby Lobby. I love those bows and they are cheap! I want to learn to make boutique bows but that is a project for after I get the sewing I need to do done.
Canadian Cheddar Cheese soup sounds Yummy!

I love this dress! Callie, I did the same thing with the mickey top I just made. Its a simply sweet and I thought for sure she would be able to finally wear a size 5 (she is 7 years old)...the top is really big! She is still a 4!

Thank you . I feel less bad now knowing someone else made a bigger size thinking it would work!

well, our december trip was fun but FREEZING cold!! All that sewing and they were bundled up from head to toe. Here are a few of the pics I caught of them w/out their winter gear.

Looks like you guys had fun at least! Love the babies grin preciousness!

And am half done Tim's - thank to those who helped me out!

For those who have been praying for Bob, Thank you so much. He feels it is the power of prayer that is helping him heal so quickly. On Sunday he leaves for his first trip since the surgery as he is teaching at Frontier School of the Bible in Wyoming for the week! Pray it goes well as he gets back into the swing of things!!

I love Tim's my 4 year old would LOVE that! Remind me to not show him.
So glad Bob is doing so well. Prayers move mountains!

This is so pretty! I love that bright blue!!! And you sure are getting things made quickly! I am never that fast!

Thanks I am just trying to get done while I still have time and not taking care of 4 littles basically on my own for a few months. It is the proverbial fire under my tushie

Oh she looks so cute in that dress! You did a good job on those leaves!


Just three comments: First, she looks so darn cute in the dress. Second, I wouldn't realize it was too big until you said something about it. Third, she can wear the dress for a while!

Thank you on both I am glad no one else is noticing how big it is. And yes she will be wearing it for a few years. With as slow as she grows she may be 5 and still wearing her Tink dress as a dress.

 

[Tweevil]

Does anyone have the Michaels email for last week? I must have deleted mine and I have to go there tomorrow and would like to use the coupon.

If you do can you post a link or email it to me at Tweevil @ comcast.net?

Many Thanks!

 

[effervescent]

YES! This is exactly what I was looking for! THANK YOU! I'm going to run out to JoAnn's to get stuff for a 'Rella dress before we get clobbered with more snow this afternoon. Cinlella is so cute! DD is starting to say 'Rora for Aurora. DH asked me last night (as I was finishing another custom shirt) "Are you almost done making all your Disney crafts?" Ummm...no! I'll NEVER be done with my Disney crafts! This thread is just getting me warmed up for more!

Definitely headed there to check that out. After conquering 2 Simply Sweets, I am a CarlaC fan! I think I'm ready to branch out from the Simply Sweet...what would be next? Tell me about the Portrait Peasant...is it as easy as the SS?

You're welcome! This is the Cinderella that I did for DD when we went to see Disney on Ice. It goes together very easily.

The Portrait Peasant is easier than the SS in my opinion.

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

I love them all! I really like Tink - I've been contemplating this fabric and I really love how it worked up. As for the Lion King one, I would use the light blue shirt.

Finished Lilo today for EE. Tried to be simple

Cute!

http://my-sweet-sunshine.blogspot.com/search/label/Tutorial Tuesday it's the first one

Adding this to my never ending to-do list....

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.

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?

Those are adorable! I think the black ric rac would look great.

For DHS:

For MK:

Everything looks great, especially the Star Wars stuff. I am totally going to case those Star Wars jeans - my 13yo would love them!

Oh Crud-
I messed up big time and could use some advice-
I'm working on a little mermaid outfit for Mallory's big give (nothing like the last minute, I know) - anyway, after many obstacles I finished the skirt, and then went to start the shirt; as I spent the last hour and a half trying to find the design I just knew I had, I realized that, of course, I apparently didn't.

I would do the Mickey head in the Ariel fabric.

I am so SICK OF SNOW. Everyweek we have a major snowstorm and DH and DD have already 4 snow days to make up. They now have to go to school until June 23rd. And there is another snow storm coming next week.

I was in an accident last week. My first accident ever. I was stopped at a light and a young girl plowed right into me Luckily DS3 who was in the car was not hurt nor was I. But my truck is going in the shop today to be repaired. I hope I get it back before the next snow storm.

June 23? Wow, that's late!

I know I'm echoing some PPs, but definitely get your car seat replaced! If it was bad enough to require repair to your vehicle, it's bad enough to get a new car seat.

I love it! DS2 was looking over my shoulder earlier when I was browsing the thread and he was so excited. "Look mommy it's Percy! And Thomas! Oh and James! Mommy I like it!"

It is called snacks lol. She has learned how to do fashion shows and how to milk them for all they are worth.

Oh my DD too. She was giving me one tonight while I was working on some embroidery. I swear she put on every outfit in her dresser! She's even worse if there is a camera in sight!

From the front

Side she was sticking her tounge back out at me.

And the back .

So cute! That color is gorgeous on her.

 

[effervescent]

Love them all! I think Eeyore is my fave though.

well, I just wanna show this one just because LOL

Great pics! I remember taking DS2 when he was 6mos and he was just enthralled with SpectroMagic. He had about that same look on his face. Did you make the hat in the pic above? It is so pretty!

I finished Hannah's Valentines outfit today!

And am half done Tim's - thank to those who helped me out!

Those turned out great!

Does anyone have the Michaels email for last week? I must have deleted mine and I have to go there tomorrow and would like to use the coupon.

I forwarded you my email.

I have been so crazy busy this last week... gearing up for the weekend off after a half day today.

The whole outfit:

I love this outfit!!!

Finished Lilo today for EE. Tried to be simple

This turned out so cute... even my oldest dd commented when she walked by that she loved it!

Are you ready to be bombarded with pics!

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

The Dis wouldn't let me quote everything - but I loved everything and tried to quote it. It was all so cute!

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

These turned out awesome!

This design I believe was from Digital By Design.

This turned out awesome! I just love all these colors together!

So as I mentioned last week I attempted to do my second attempt at Easy Fit pants for DS3

Adorable! It looks like he just loves them!

From the front

Absolutely adorable! She is just so cute!

Thanks for looking!

What a bummer that it was so cold! I loved everything though.

AK outfits.

Everyone is adorable - even if you had to bundle up - it looks like you all had a fantastic time. You did a wonderful job on the customs.

I finished Hannah's Valentines outfit today!

And am half done Tim's - thank to those who helped me out!

The Valentines outfit is so cute - I just love the blue dots at the bottom of the jeans! And Tim's shirt is turning out amazing!

One more outfit down for our trip. This is for HS. Sorry again for the crappy pics, I never seem to have my camera and memory card in the same place!

Thank you so much for posting this! I really like Kids Wish Network, they aren't as "known" as Make a Wish, but I really admire the way they run things.

Thank you for making this non-sewer feel welcome. I truly hope the info might help the OP. It looks like a terrific organization.

Prayers for those in need.

[Granna4679]

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!

Welcome...glad you are here! I suggest the Portrait peasant or Simply Sweet from YCMT. I have a Janome too. If you have any questions, just ask! You will get the hang of it in no time.

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!

Welcome! Try something easy like pillowcases to get started. Then you can progress to some of the easier patterns on YCMT. You will be addicted in no time.

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:

Heather - these outfits are great. I especially like the Shiny fabric on the Star Wars wording. Great idea. Tessa and Sawyer look adorable as always!

So as I mentioned last week I attempted to do my second attempt at Easy Fit pants for DS3

He is a doll. Love the Thomas outfit!

Make sure you get a new car seat for your DS. Any time a car seat is in an accident it should be replaced!! Her insurance should cover the cost of the seat. Make sure her company knows your son was in the car with you. Good luck and keep us posted.

I agree. My daughter had a minor accident about a year ago. She informed the insurance company of the child seat suggestions and they gave her the money to replace both car seats with no problem.

Ok what I did today.... first I learned my daughter wears a 2 not a 3 and not to ever doubt that lol. The dress is huge I had just enough fabric left to make a sash though so she is wearing that. I would have remade the dress smaller if I would have had the fabric. I was sad the whole time I was cutting it how pathetic is that?

She is absolutely adorable! And I love the colors in the dress too....perfect color for her!! I loved the Lilo dress too....I lost my quote on that one!

Here are the pathetic photos I have of the kids in some of the stuff I made. We were so covered up most of the time, I didn't do a great job taking pictures of their clothes.

Thanks for looking!

Looks like you had a great time!

well, our december trip was fun but FREEZING cold!! All that sewing and they were bundled up from head to toe. Here are a few of the pics I caught of them w/out their winter gear.

AK outfits.

well, I just wanna show this one just because LOL

ok, There are no other pictures of their clothes so here are just cute pics of the trip.

Violet's first ride on the carousel

Love all of the pictures! Violet is getting so big! Sorry it was so cold for you but looks like you had so much fun!

Hi sew-ers! I've not posted here before but I've spent many days looking back through lots of your Disboutiquer threads and admiring all of your talent. Just wanting to say hello.

Here is what I have been working on this week...

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



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



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!



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?

Love the outfit!!!

need to ask a stupid question though since I am a beginner semstress (LOL)

that shirt.....did sew them on or iron them on.....and where did you get the template for the letters

i have the material and downloaded the instructions to make a 'tinkerbell' twirl skirt for DD3....but I wanna make her a similar shirt with 'tink' on it to go with the skirt!!

thanks

and love the beauty and the beast dress....wow...you guys are good!!!!!

This is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! My middle dd is an "enchanted knife" in Beauty and the Beast at a local theater. I would love to make something for the baby but I need something on a much smaller scale. If she was bigger this would be perfect.
