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

[SallyfromDE]

This is my first sewing share. I am not a regular sew-er, but we're head to WDW in a month and I needed to get this done.

My mom "translates" the pattern instructions to me and I did the sewing.

I spent over a month trying to find a "raspberry purple" like the dress that Rapunzel wears at WDW, but I just couldn't. So I gave up and finally went to the lilac that she wears in the film.

This came out so nice! Your DD is just adorable. I've Rapunzle on my list of Tunics for Kirsta. Raspberry, Lilac, Purple, I'm sure the Princess likes a variety in her closet!

Has anyone tried to order from SWAK recently? Every time I try to put something in my cart, it sends me direct to checkout with an empty cart and tells me (DUH!) you can't checkout with an empty cart...nothing I've tried to purchase will let me buy it!

Sallyfrom DE: Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I understand the quote system, that adorable patchwork jacket is yours.

I'd like to make one, but I have a few questions if you wouldn't mind answering. How many squares did it take and how big is each one? Did you heat-and-bond them onto the shirt before you zig-zagged them on permanently? It looks like you cut the original collar, bottom edge and cuffs from the sweatshirt. Is that right? If so, did you use the size you usually wear or did you need to go up a size to compensate for the removed fabric? It looks like you made your own binding. Did it need to be cut on the bias? How much fabric did you need for the binding?

Good grief, that's a lot I'm asking, isn't it?! Thanks so much for your time!

Hi Everyone!

Just wondering if anyone would be up for making the family Wish shirts for Mallory. There are 4 people in their family (sizes adult 3XL, 2 people wearing adult L, and Mallory wears size 5/6 or small). There are some designs already on the disbiggive site, or you can check out the creative disigns site. If you have any questions, please PM me!! Toiletry bags would be nice for them too!!!

Thanks so much, Wendy

I posted on the Big Give site, but just wanted to let you know that I will do the family wish shirts for Mallory and her family.

Do you think they would want long sleeve if I can find them? or should I just do short sleeve?

They can always layer under a short sleeved, right? Do whatever you think!! Thank you so much!!!!

You are all about to be photo bombed!!! These are the clothes I made for Rebecca for our Allure of the Seas maiden voyage last month. I finally got them all off my camera and uploaded to photobook. There's a group of us on Cruise Critic who call ourselves, International Critters...international because we come from the UK, US and Canada, and critters because someone made a typo once when posting, and it stuck. Our mascot is a crab named Imma (pronounced I'm-a) and this is our second maiden voyage, the first was last year on Oasis of the Seas. Someone had adult sized shirts made, but I wanted Rebecca to have one too, so HeatherSue was nice enough to digitize Imma for me, and I added the words to make it look like the rest of us. The capris are easyfits, made from denim I found with crabs already embroidered on it...I made some for myself too, and got many requests for others! We had a great time, and I didn't always remember to get a pic before we left the room for the day, so some of these were taken at home.

This is Lisa"s Audrey skirt...the best pic I have of the front, the skirt is twisted and you can't even read the embroidery, LOL (it says "Just Purr-fect!) The face paint is from Zoo day at Adventure Ocean, Royal Caribbean's kid's program.

Carson ruffle top and EasyFits.

CarlaC Aline with bows in stead of buttons, purchased leggins, the only outfit I cheated on because I couldn't find lime green knit in time to sew.

Princess for a day top, including embroidery that came with the pattern. She loved this one!

More EasyFits (I love this pattern!) Portrait Peasant Blouse and the top of my own creation...it has a shirred back and a double ruffle skirt on it. Ignore the attitude in the photo, she wanted to do a cutesy pose, but it didn't show the outfit like I wanted to!

Patchwork pants, not a YCMT pattern, but it could be easily done with the easyfit, which I like the fit better on anyway...the pieced fabric went together first, then the pants were cut out. The tree is the Grinchy Christmas tree, I wanted to get a better pic at Grinchmas, but the weather didn't cooperate.

The one outfit she refused to wear, Sarah Ruched top and EasyFit capris with a ruffle. I think it's cute, but she still hates it!

And finally the last dress...this is another one I smocked and hand embroidered...the butterflies took longer than the smocking! The white with the butterflies is a band that goes around the skirt bottom. Ignore the blue face paint, she has a snowflake on her forehead from Adventure Ocean.

HELP!!!

DD11 wants customs but now I am stumped. She asked for a Cutie/Baby Eeyore applique. It is all cut out and I was ready to sew it to a tshirt and she said "Stop! I want it sewn to a shirt you make." WHAT???? I suggested a cap-sleaved Peasant top and she didn't love the idea. Any other suggestions??? She said she would like a halter top but we are going in less than 3 weeks so I am anticipating it might be cold. Any other suggestions? Thanks!!!

Why not make the halter she wants and pack a long sleeved tee or turtleneck for under it if needed? I made several Simply Sweets for my girls for our December trip and picked up some super-soft tagless long sleeve tees at Target in coordinating colors to go underneath on cooler days.

It is cold here, lol! But you could still make it on a halter, and have her wear it over long or short sleeve plain T, depending on the weather. My kids do that all the time, just so they can wear favorites even if the weather isnt cooperating.

Hi Ladies! I posted this on Christmas day I think and it was perhaps overlooked...My mom wants me to make some vests for the girls that work in her gift shop. I know it should be easy, but can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial or an online pattern.... oh and by girls I mean grown women of various sizes!

It's been kind of quiet here, but I missed your post, sorry about that. I haven't done anything from this website tutorial, but it seems like a good place to start,

You guys are probably right. Let me talk it over with her and make sure that is what she is envisioning. Thanks!

 

[jeniamt]

okay so it looks like she wants the Simply Sweet halter with a short skirt to wear over jeans. Anyone have a picture of this look?

It's not jeans, but it's the SS halter over capris...though it only has a short ruffle and not a longer skirt as she might want.

I think you are selling yourself short. You do such wonderful work for the Gives. I truly hope that you will decide to sew clothes for the Gives one day!

Thanks for the encouraging words! I'm practicing on a patchwork twirl skirt with some old Halloween fabric. I have some Minnie fabric that I want to use if the prototype pans out.

(<------still my favorite smiley )

My dd won't wear halters, but this was a simply sweet top with regular waist and a shortened "skirt" over easy fit short, it could easily be paired with jeans/leggings and layered over a ls/ss tee shirt.

THose are great dresses!


Love this gown too!

D~

Such a cute picture!

Just want to say that gown is absolutely stunning!

Many thanks for the nice comments!

mom2rtk: The dresses are gorgeous. I can't decide which one I like best. Your DD looks so mature with her glasses on. She is absolutely beautiful in those wonderful dresses.

Thank you so much for the kind comment. Katie got her glasses right before school started in the fall. I was amazed at how quickly they matured her! And of course she had to have blue glasses for the new American Girl doll she got for Christmas this year too!

She ended up being sick the whole trip.. she had the flu. She was fine during the day and then at night she was up all night coughing. At least it didn't really hit her until our last day there. We missed alot of the Christmas party that Thursday night because she just couldn't stay awake. We ended up getting there late because she took a nap. Got there around 8 I think and we left right after the second parade. Didn't get to do much. I wish we could have seen Belle and Beast together! That picture is priceless! You really did that one spot on. I love the gold fabric. It looks so close to what they had used in Belle's dress. I kept looking for you guys while we were there.



We did the same on our first day. Thank goodness! I really had no idea that it was a good idea, but a photopass photog told me to head on over there. I wanted to go back a second time since I have the Rapunzel dress and a dress with the 10 princesses on it.. but we never did make it back. Hannah didn't want to wait in line for that long.


Haha.. aww you are too sweet. Hannah would have loved to play with Katie so she'd probably go right along.
Oh and wouldn't you know it that Hannah now wants a Drizella dress?
I tried talking her into one of the stepsisters but she wouldn't have none of that! I totally want to make one even though there is no next trip in sight.

I'm so sorry you guys had sickness to deal with the entire time! We've certainly been there on other trips. And I had forgotten about the trip where Katie coughed all night long keeping all of us awake! And to deal with that in the bitter cold....not fun! I hope you found some magic along the way to help out!

I am glad you got through the Tangled line with little fuss. We FINALLY just saw the movie today with Katie's best friend and her mom. I think the moms loved it even more than the girls, if that's possible! I'm glad I did a Rapunzel dress right before leaving or I'd be kicking myself now!

I think you should do a Drizella for Hannah. Just make it a little big so it will fit for a while. Katie has eaten at 1900 PF dressed as Cinderella, Anastasia, Drizella and Lady Tremaine. I told her she had no choice but to go as Prince Charming next time!

And tell Hannah Katie would have loved to play with her!
