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

[erikawolf2004]

I am a bit late on this, but here is my Disney Christmas creation for my 15 month old. It's a stripwork jumper with a pair of easy fit pants.

This outfit is Super Cute, love all the different fabrics.

 

[NiniMorris]

Only ten days and one hour until we leave for Disney. I still have 12 shirts to finish and a few dresses. It is 1am and I cannot sleep, but since I ran out of bobbin thread I can't work either!

Right now I am wishing my Wally World still carried the thread. At least I could take a short trip there to get some bobbin thread. As it is, I have to wait until tomorrow morning to get to Joann's. Of course, bu then I will be too sleepy to get a shirt to turn out right!

I'm thinking I won't be forgetting to pick up my Lunesta any more! Either that or hubby will have to stop snoring!

The red dress

Which party will you be at? It looks like we'll be there about the same time! We're doing MVMCP the 14th and 16th.

Here she is. We're bringing our own version of the red gown this time:

That is so sweet. I think I have used every one of those fabrics this year already in various outfits! LOL! I like it all together...gives me some ideas for all of the leftover pieces I have.

Adorable.

So I'm working on making my sister and I "princess tops" for when we go to Disney World this summer. Since I'm a teacher, I don't have too much extra time to work on sewing. But I have gotten this much done on the Belle top. The top part is shirred and the bottom is scalloped (it's hard to tell in the picture) with some tulle on top.

I think I might forgo the arm tulle thing. I still need to put on straps (ignore the pink bra straps) and am thinking about putting on some covered buttons.
Suggestions?

Thanks! Peace!

Looks great. Some covered buttons, or little red flowers would be great.

Hey everyone - I am having troublewith the bookmarks - I am trying to click on the scaling up a pattern by CarlaC and it says the page no longer exists. I tried CarlaC's site/blog but did not find anything - the sizing down a pattern works fine but I don't want to just try to scale up myself. Anyone able to give me a little info or know where the page is now? I need to size up the portrait peasant.

scaling up is at the bottom of this page. http://disboutique.blogspot.com/search/label/Pattern resizing

Beautiful! I love the Belle dress you made!

Thanks Anita! But I didn't make the one in the photo. That was from the Disney Store that year (08). I did make a replica of Belle's for this trip though. If I get a chance in the next day or 2 I'll take photos of it. Katie usually enjoys dressing the mannequin for me!, so maybe after school!

 

[QuiverofArrows]

Hi. I could have sworn I saw a tutorial on You Tube that showed how to make a pillowcase dress with no binding on the arm holes. I'm sitting here at my machine and can't find it. I need to finish 6 dresses today so if anybody can direct me, I would really appreciate it. I'm wanting to make the elastic casing and then have ribbon ties. I might just have to make an armless one if I can't find it. Thanks!

I would love to be able to make some for this Give but I am totally swamped these days.

Thanks for the picture!!

We will be going the 16th and 17th so we will probably run into you!!!!! I would love to see pictures of the dress you made!!!

 

[ms_mckenna]

and a very happy girl that is very very excited about all her fun clotshes and going on this trip in 18 days

That is just beautiful! I adore the feliz ... I hope one day to try it. No time soon though!

I was trying to get a good shot of them in the shark's mouth-this was the best one!

Such great pictures and outfits!

I have shipped lots of stuff into Canada. I have shipped all over the world, and Canada drives me nuts more than any other place. Canadian customs is VERY unpredictable. I wouldn't worry about any of it being lost, but getting there on time is another matter.

Not the op I somehow missed that but a few weeks ago I mailed 2 packages one from Tex to Australia and the other to Ca. The Ca package took twice as long as the Au one to get there. I was starting to get pretty concerned when it finally showed up!

I don't think I will ever catch up but I thought I would post a couple pics from our trip last week. This is my mom & Juliet when we went to WWoHP

Such cuteness! I love your Mom's shirt!

Here is the generational photo with my mom. I made my blouse and Kaitlyn's dress and my mom made her blouse.

So sweet! Precious dress!

I had DH babysitting my machine right before we went to DL. He didn't understand why I kept getting mad when he looked up to watch the tv. He has no idea what it sounds like when something messes up so in my mind he needed to be WATCHING it, not just sitting there! He was none to happy that I didn't think he did a good job. Thank goodness it was Heather's Buzz and she does such awesome appliques that all was good.

Jessica (you know I do not have one yet so forgive me) why do you have to watch it? What does it do?

I had the privilege of making some tag blankets for an 'un-named' big give. I have never made them before but loved making these! They are made of certain colors etc due to some special needs of this little one. I will have to make more in the future for any babies that come our families way! They are so cuddly. I also found these two polar fleece prints at a fabric shop near me that a) I didn't know had any Disney fabrics and b) I had never seen these two before anywhere!

I love this fabric! I am sure whoever gets them will love them!

Here's why I haven't been posting lately- between getting these done and work I've been pretty time crunched. These are for a family to wear to MVMCP. I also made renaissance garb (I actually did an overdress w/ boning and everything! But don't have any pics yet).

Those look great! I cannot wait to see the renaissance stuff though!

Is this a pattern or your own design? I love it! I would love to make something like that for my 17 year old if she would wear it hmmm. Where are you putting the buttons? Where the tulle comes up at?

Sorry I have been a bit MIA. My two year olds have been hard to handle the last few weeks. I think it is a tis the season thing but also because we have started cleaning out the house for our move this summer and it is a what is up thing. I am so ready to move but I am really wondering how it is going to effect them and my 4 year old. I have been working on i spy bags and I am thinking next week I am going to do crayon roll ups for my sons class. I just need to figure out what the best pattern to use is (ie the easiest lol)

This is super cute, fun to see something for us bigger princesses I like the button idea-too funny I thought the pink straps were part of the top and thought it looked cute like that-haha. I like the tulle on the arms, maybe make the straps with the tulle also???

With all this talk of Black Friday sales I was thinking about getting an office chair for my sewing room. Right now I'm just sitting on a straight back kitchen chair but I wonder if it would be better to sit at an adjustable chair while sewing. My machine just sits on a regular desk (it is not in a sewing table). What kind of chair do you guys use for sewing?

TIA

I just use a straight back chair. My quilt teacher spent about half hour teaching us why sitting correct can affect the out come of our quilts. Straight up and in front of the machine.

We've got the worst cold running thru my house and I just don't have time for it! My cruise (non-DCL) is in 3 weeks and I've got a ton of sewing to do as well as a peasant top to smock, and I'm so messed up on cold meds I don't want to get involved with anything for fear of goofing it up! I even skipped work today, something I never do. Sitting up is better than laying down, so I might just do some t-shirt embroidery...babysitting the machine is something I think I can handle. I was laughing at all of you saying you have to do that too, every time I look away, it goes bad, but sometimes I sit there the entire time and nothing happens even without adjustments. I had a sneezing fit once, sitting there and it goofed up on me, and my eyes were only closed for a second!

Sorry you are feeling so bad and hope you get better soon. Don't push it and take care.

How much fun it that outfit! Just adorable.

I coincidentally came across a free pattern today, haven't tried it so I can't vouch for it, but maybe it will be useful:

Great idea for the bigger girls and yet so pretty with the tulle.

Nini, sorry you ran out of thread. Girl, you have to rest and take good care of yourself. You are still healing from surgery! If you don't have all the customs made it still will be a great trip. BTW, I like Ambien CR

Someone asked about stabilizer. I use a medium weight and if it is a heavy stitch pattern I double it.

I actually can forward you the email I have from Carla C that gives the sizes for scaling down and up. I had sent a request for making the Simply Sweet for older girls and she had emailed the scaling sizes to me. PM if you want me to email them to you.

 

[Christine1103]

I've been reading this board for months, getting lots of inspiration. Recently purchased a Carla C pattern and am very excited to make my girls some twirl skirts for our very first trip to Disney. Everyone here makes such beautiful stuff and thanks for the inspiration to give it a try!

My question is about the mickey ears appliques for t-shirts. I'm going to buy some mickey heads with bows etc from etsy but just don't know which size I should look for. I would like to iron them on t-shirts for my 5 year old twins. In addition, I would like to get some to make a t-shirt for my husband and I as well but think they will need to be a different size, no? Any advice you can offer is appreciated.

thanks in advance

Whew! All done with Disney sewing. Now I've got 2 evenings to get us all packed so we can head south on Saturday!

Minnie with a mini skirt for MK

Animal Kingdom

Probably Epcot, I ran out of time to order and couldn't find locally the Alexander Henry Children of the World fabric. I whipped this up tonight, ignore the crazy eyes, it was bedtime and she was being silly.

Disney Studios - She'll wear the Einsteins outfit I showed a couple pages back.

Made this for her several months ago and will probably throw it in with everything else.

Finally, for Sea World.. She loves the movie Happy Feet and picked out this, um, not so pretty penguin fabric... Decided to do it as part of a challenge on sew forum. I think it tones down the penguins enough.

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

I actually really like the penguin skirt! I think that was a great way to tone it down. Very cute! Have a great trip!

Wow. You've been busy. What great outfits and wonderful model you have.

I have a question about the patchwork skirt. I just bought a serger because I'd like to be able to do patchwork skirts for Big Gives. Did you serge the seams between the patches? (If the answer is 'no' you'll hear me kicking myself.)

the twirls that I have made are serged between. My girls kneel on their dresses way to much to have a "regular" seem hold. plus the twirls I have done are repeated patches so I took long strips of say 6" wide and sew them together, serge, until I have however many different patterns say 5 - so I have 5 strips of 6" wide sewn and serged then lay them out straight and make 6" strips the opposite way to make my long rows to gather and attach. (sorry if that didn't make sense- makes sense to me 'cause I can picture it in my head) - This is what I am pretty sure I am going to to with the DR Suess fabric I have. Then It will go with their Thing 1, 2 & 3 shirts. - (I actually like wearing them on travel days now. Makes them easier to find.)

Ok - off to Joann's, the mall & Target with Evie. Then home for a nap before the girls get off the bus, then work tonight & tomorrow, Sew a Nemo outift Sat/Sun/Mon morning Hopefull y have it done by then. Then on to PJ's - girl & doll sets to match for a customer and my girls for Christmas Eve night - to be left by the elves.
