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

[aboveH20]

I wanted to share my simple, EASY little project for my family. We will be there in January, and I'm anticipating cold temps. I saw a cute Minnie hat at WalMart, but I decided to make my own. My DH and boys will have their own (without the bow!)

I love it.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I hope you get back to DLP soon.

Well. . . . eventually I'll have another birthday ending in zero, so may have to go back then.

Been working frantically to finish stuff for Christmas. Here are a few things from the weekend.

Imke Camo Shirt:

Growth chart:

Pyjamas with Easy Fits

And, "how to keep your teenager happy when his jeans tear just a little too much for comfort":

Very nice. While you were being creative and industrious, I spent the day making reusable "socks" for my Swiffer.

The only ones that I saw in the park (was just in DL though ) are the Mickey Croc bands in Black or tan for adults. - no lining.....

I have 3 DL questions for you.

1. Did you go on the roller coaster. My eyes were closed the whole time so I don't know if I liked it or not.

2. Did you go on the ferris wheel? I DID NOT like all the movement. I wanted something to grab onto.

3. I don't know how new World of Color is. I'm not very familiar with it. Did you see it? <---California groovin'

Where can I get some pink balloons to release at Disney? We have gotten permission for a very small balloon release on the anniversary of Little Helen becoming an angel, but I need to know where I can get some pink balloons while we are there. We are staying at CSR. And the day in question we will be at Animal Kingdom (no balloon release there) and having dinner at Chef Mickey's. That night we will be at Epcot for yet another Illuminations viewing. We aren't 100% sure where the release will happen, but Disney has given us a couple of suggestions.

So...where can we find non Disney specific pink balloons?


Nini

I received a bouquet of balloons for my birthday from the Yacht Club. Some of them were just plain balloons. You may just ask at CSR when you get there. They may just give you some, or at least they might have a better idea of where you could find them.

This is the very first thing I have ever done in PE Design 8. I followed the tutorial from sewforum and it came out on the screen. Problem, I don't know how to get into my machine. I tried save and it said can't be saved to card or machine?

The design is our last name as a snowflake.

Really cool April. I hope you figure out how to use it.

All the Camo looks great and that growth chart is adorable.

Thank you.

Busy, busy, busy!! Been checking in on the thread for inspiration while trying to finish everything up for our trip. I haven't posted any projects in a while, and since everything will be making its way to Florida this week, I guess I'll to post pictures of our projects in action at WDW. However, you're in luck!! I just happened to snap an iPhone pic of the custom I made tonight...

Yep, even our Pliko got a custom!! The bottom of the cover was torn and looking icky, so I used a scrap to Disney it up a bit. Pretty sure my non-Disney people will roll their eyes right out of their heads when they see it in our pics.

I also made this:

Very good way to repair the stroller. And I too can't wait to see a pic of you proudly wearing the headband at WDW.

Wow, the Camos look great. The growth chart is cute and the jammies look comfy and warm. That's a great idea with the jeans. You must have been very busy at the sewing machine.

Thanks. I have been very busy at the machine lately. My DH is starting to feel neglected, cause as soon as I come home from work I start dinner and turn on my machine.

Wow you have been busy! Everything looks wonderful! I especially love the camo dresses.

Those are my fav too. Unfortunately, I don't have any girls.

Tricia - love all the camo. The growth chart is sooo cute. Is that for the same person you made all of the baby items a few weeks back?

Love the idea for patching the used jeans...now if I could only figure out how to keep my DGDs in the same size until their jeans actually wear out. They grow tooooo fast!

It is for the same person who is getting the newborn size camo dress, and a camo top and pants. But not the same person who I made the whole mess of clothes for that also had the LoveChirp embroidery on it.

My guys usually grow too fast also, but my oldest is 13 now. He put on some weight over the summer, and then lost it again in Sept. and Oct., so I had to go downstairs and pull out some jeans that I had already put away. His new stuff was too big, and I had to bring out some of the older, smaller stuff. (a problem I wish I had some days)

Very nice. While you were being creative and industrious, I spent the day making reusable "socks" for my Swiffer.

Thanks, and the swiffer socks may not be creative, but they are certainly industrious and useful.

I love all of the stuff that has been posted lately. Wish I had time to go back and quote but I've got to get ready for work.

Here is an A-line dress that I finished for Alexa last night to wear for Thanksgiving. She picked out the fabric. It looks one strap is wider than the other but it really isn't.

 

[billwendy]

Nini - I would call your hotel and ask. I have seen them deliver plain balloons to rooms for birthday's before. Will you have a car? Maybe there is a party store near by or What about one of those florists or gift basket companies?? Hugs to you all!

I love it.

YES - California Screamin is my favorite rollercoaster!!!
YES - I loved the ferris wheel, Billy not so much - lol
WOC came out in June I think - it is AMAZING!!! I wish we'd get it at WDW - I LOVE fountains, and these were incredibly cool and so colorful!!!!!!

So much cute stuff made lately. Just making a quick stop to say hi, we are having a great time in WDW. The weather is great (its -4 at home with two feet of snow), the crowds are pretty crazy, but we are out of the parks for the rest of the week doing other things (beach, space center, ect.) and hope they are more managable next week. Yesterday we were in DHS and it was nuts, the wait for TSM was 200 min at one point, the fast passes were gone by 10, ran out right before we got to the machines Might try to see if we can get back later for it and TOT, we ran out of time because we had to get in line at 6 for the fantasmic show at 8. On a happier note, I got a lot of compliments on the outfits yesterday. I have seen a few kids wearing customs, but they were all made by someone else. Will keep looking for anyone else. I promise to post pics when I get home.

 

[ireland_nicole]

Sorry for the drive by; will catch up on the thread tonight, I promise
I've been working on FSL ornaments for Christmas gifts, but also managed to get these done this week:

Thanksgiving outfits (they will be worn w/ matching brown shirts underneath, kiddos just didn't want to cooperate: (sorry for the quircky pose- also DS will not be wearing mickey balloon shorts w/ his ensemble LOL.)

And of course customs for Tangled:

DD will wear hers over a long sleeve T; simple, but effective- especially w/ all Heathersue's embroidery designs For those who don't know, the T-giving dress is a vida (a farbenmix pattern) and the Rapunzel dress is a simply sweet (by CarlaC avail at YCMT)

I finished my granddaughter's Christmas dresses this weekend. We are going to see the Nutcracker Ballet in Houston Dec 17 so I made their Christmas dresses to fit that theme (of course they will also wear them to our big family get together and for Christmas Sunday @ church). I am quite happy with how they turned out. I had purchased the fabric online several months ago with no particular pattern in mind. When I finally decided what to make, I didn't have enough of either one to make both so I made them opposite so they would be alike and yet different.

I also did a Toy Story dress for someone else this weekend.

Wow- these are amazing! Absolutely adore the nutcracker dresses!

And, I returned to my first love for Thanksgiving. Felt and glue. As a kid I could be happy for hours with felt and glue. I read on the first page that we're supposed to show photos of EVERYTHING , so here are my Thanksgiving place cards (made with Ferrerro Rocher chocolates). I'd say they look better in person than photographed, but that's not true. They look like they were made by a pre-schooler, but I don't care, I had fun.

I think they are super cute!

Front:

So cute; the tunic idea is great and I absolutely adore how the quilt turned out!

This is my first venture onto this thread, and I'm so in awe of you talented ladies!

I wanted to share my simple, EASY little project for my family. We will be there in January, and I'm anticipating cold temps. I saw a cute Minnie hat at WalMart, but I decided to make my own. My DH and boys will have their own (without the bow!)

Imke Camo Shirt with Hood:

Most of the Camo I did for a customers grandchildren (the infant stuff is missing as there was a baby shower last week and they gave it to the mom then)

Growth chart:

Pyjamas with Easy Fits"

And, "how to keep your teenager happy when his jeans tear just a little too much for comfort":

Love it All!!

I also made this:

A fun, little sparkly reversible headband with a jeweled tiara for...ME!! I'd show it on my head, but my hair is a hot mess right now, and I'm just not camera ready.

We're going on a cruise in a few days, so I've been busy this week sewing for Rebecca. My goal is for her to have a play outfit to wear every day, and some dresses for dinner, with 2 of those little girl formal for the 2 formal nights. This is my 2nd Feliz...I had made on e last year and she absolutely hated it. This time I was originally going to keep it hidden until it was time to wear it, but she caught me doing the embroidery and loved it! Go figure When she tried it on for this pic, she didn't want to take it off. The ship will be decorated for Christmas, so I decided to make some of her things Christmasy.

This one is a pattern from the latest issue of Australian Smocking & Embroidery. My true love for sewing things for little girls is hand smocking, something I've not done much of recently. I still need to put in the hem, so it's a little long. The close up really doesn't do it justice, it looks prettier in person.

Now that my dresses are done, the playclothes will be faster, so hopefully I can get a bunch of fun things done for her.

I love your clothes for the Big Give. The wearers will look terrific.

Your Halloween costumes and treat bags are wonderful. Makes me miss the days of making costumes for my sons.

The headbands intrigue me. Makes me wonder if they're like roses on cakes -- very impressive, but once you learn how to do it surprisingly easy. (Hope that didn't come across as a putdown. I guess that's the way I look at a lot of crafts -- wonder how they're done and which ones involve ultimate skill and patience and which ones can be accomplished with time and patience.)

Jenny, I lost your quote. I love those outfits and the headbands are so pretty! I always think I'd like to try those.

These all came out great, Love the costumes and those headbands are super cute...where did you find the directions for that?

Thanks! The headbands are from YCMT (Woven headbands). I also found a you tube video after I had bought the headbands.

You are right about those headbands..it is easy once you learn how to do it. The first one took me over an hour, but each one has gotten easier. My daughter loves them, and wants them in all different colors to match her wardrobe.

Very cute..I love the Vida pattern! Your daughter is adorable.

I finally got somewhere that I could get the pictures uploaded, so I'll share what I've got. Hopefully I'll get the monorail shirt done tomorrow and the turkey day outfits cut out.

These are the shirts and outfits I did for the last Big Give:

The tinkerbell outfits are adorable...and I love glittery fabric. I also love the Prince Charming shirt..and Minnie as Belle shirt. I have been wanting to make my daughter a Minnie as princesses outfit but never did get around it..maybe for our trip next year.

Finally! Yes, Finally! 136 out of 137 shirts are done! (I still have to decide and buy the design for the last one.)

So, I'm getting ready to 'clean' them up and take pictures...and the batteries are dead in my camera...or at least all most dead. My goal was to have them all photographed by now. I am not sure if I am going to have time to get pictures now, so may have to wait until we get back.

I managed to get some fabric and cute trims for the Rosetta Ruffle Bag. I want to get one made in Minnie Mouse colors for my DIL to use as a park bag. Since it is a surprise, if I don't get it done it will be ok.

The stress of those last three shirts has taken its toll. My neck is killing me! Time for a discomfort pill, a short nap, dinner, hot bath and bedtime! Tomorrow is going to be very productive and FUN! Kids are out of school and we are in the final countdown for Disney...so excited....


Nini

WOW..137 shirts! That is a lot of sewing. 3 more days..I hope you and your family have a wonderful trip.

So I am finally playing with my new machine and so far so good. Some of it has been user error but nothing major. I have learned that it does not like the cheap tree skirt I bought so. That was tossed and I am making one now out of a flour sack towel I bought at Wally World.

I am even using my first downloaded design.I should be able to post a picture in a day or so.

This is for our Disney World Tree since we are actually spending Xmas there.

Yay on the new machine! Can't wait to see the tree skirt.

I love how that turned out! What a brilliant idea.

 

[MomtoAlexnWilliam]

WOW!!! They are totally AWESOME!!!

Thanks!!! I am exhausted!!!!

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

Yep...here too. We will be @ Toys R Us at 10 on Thursday night and have stores lined up from then until 6 @ JoAnn's. Then we have to pick up the granddaughters from babysitter. I guess you know we will be napping right along with them that afternoon....

These are awesome outfits. I especially love the costumes. Adorable.
My DD has been making hair bows to match all of the outfits I have been making and she informed me this morning that she had learned how to make these same headbands...YAY! Now I have something to put with the older girls outfits! Love them.

Wow..10pm all the way to 6am..that is a lot of shopping! Last year, I went to ToysRus with a friend at around 9:30pm...took a look at the line, and we decided to just go back home. I hope you have fun shopping on Friday! Thanks for the compliments on the outfit and costumes.

The nutcracker dress is beautiful, and I love that embroidery! I hope you and your granddaughter enjoy the ballet. I really should plan on taking my daughter next year.

Hey -have you guys seen this before - so cute!! Perfect gift or stocking stuffer!!! Someone is making them for Emily's brothers, but I hadnt even heard of one before that!! So ADORABLE!!

http://www.favecrafts.com/Sewing-for-Kids/sewn-toy-car-holder

I love that..never seen it, but I am thinking I could make a few of these as gifts!

I think they are really cute, and those are my favorite chocolates!

WOW!!!! I LOVE the quilt!!!!!!

I am later than Heather, ya'll probably don't even remember me any more!

I have been working two jobs and have had no time for sewing. I have also noticed this weekend that Megan is refusing to wear any customs at all. When I was looking for longer pants I noticed she hasn't worn a single thing I've made since our last trip to Disney. So I guess I am going to start doing more big gives when I have time and find kids who appreciate me, lol!

I love the nutcracker dresses! So pretty and feminine!

Here is Megan at her cheerleading competition. I wasn't totally prepared to be a cheer mom but got into it a little toward the end. I still can't style her hair properly and the coach had to do it for me. The kid has a lot of hair that doesn't want to be tamed! Oh, they won 3rd place!

I remember you! Looks like you have been busy...and I can't believe how grown up Megan looks.

Gotta love Phineas.

Great Jessie and Woody Costumes..

Thanks!!

Embroidery question:

How often do you change the needle on an embroidery machine?

Probably not often enough! I just made almost 10 designs and I haven't changed the needles and I probably should.

Love the Camo shirt with hood! I have the Imke pattern but have not made anything yet..love everything that you have made. Do you make your own labels for your clothes..if not, where do you order them from?

 

[MinnieVanMom]

First thank you all for the encouragement on the snowflake design. I did get it saved and have learned so much in just a few days. Anita, of course I am going to make a design for you, if you will let me. Do you just want your name?

The good news!!!!
We are going to WDW in Feb. DH is going to powerschool again and this year it is at WDW! And we are staying at AKL for one night on the Platinum dining plan. I have to get DD to come up from Boca to babysit DS for me because they don't have enough tours for kids under 10.

 

[Cibahwewah]

We leave Friday morning, and I still have 1 project to finish (pajama pants for the kiddos). I promise to post pics of all the customs when we return. FYI, check out the Theme Park Strategies forum, "You might be a DIS-er if" thread, page 4. I gave a shout out to all you inspirational ladies...

Hi APril!!

What is Powerschool? I wish I could come and watch Hunter for you!!! He seems like such a sweetheart!!!

Congrads on your snowflake!!!!!!!! It looks amazing!!

How crazy is it that I just finished buying all the fabric for our customs for our Christmas Disney trip- in 2011? That's right girls I have dates chosen with a starter itinerary, including suggested ADR's, and exactly what outfit dd will be wearing every day soi could be sure to buy the right yardage, etc. Fwiw, I scored most of it on a great sale, but I am starting to wonder if I need professional help, or maybe medication of some kind- so... Is it too soon to start sewing them?
