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

[PurpleEars]

Here is my finished shirt for Sunday School tomorrow!!!

That is so cute. I am sure it was a big hit with the children.

This is my latest creation, a gift for my Book Club's Secret Santa. This is the DIY Dish double-layer cake pincushion. Once the prep work is done (and quilting those two strips took a while) it goes together so fast! I'm so pleased with how it came out. I'm pretty confident none of my book club ladies frequent the DIS so I think I'm safe posting it--I can't share it on FB or my blog til after I give it because they are ALL on there, and it's driving me crazy not being able to share a project after completing it! LOL

That is the cutest pin cushion I have ever seen!

...The next day we did breakfast with Lilo and Stitch. We celebrated ds's 7th birthday and dh's 40th. DS wore a stitch shirt I purchased on Etsy and dd wore a Lilo dress I made for her. Wehn we arrived Stitch was at our table immediatly and he saw dd and grabbed her by the hand and literally drug her across the entire restaurant so Lilo could see her dress. It was hysterical and dd felt so special!

I really like this picture. I think your "joy" shirts were great!

Looks like you guys had a great time. I like all your pictures...though this one is my favourite (I am biased since I like Minnie)

Long time lurker here... Now that we have 60 days until our trip, I think I better get sewing! So, to start off easy, I have an applique Mickey safari head that I thought I would try out tonight on an old t-shirt. I've never appliqued with my machine before, so I read a quick tutorial and well, I'm glad it was on an old shirt!

I'm guessing I need to trim even closer to the edges of the outline... since some of the fabric is still showing through.

Also, I've never hooped t-shirt material before. I know that I'm going to do some appliques/embroidery on t-shirts. Any thoughts/recommendations? I'm guessing that I could not hoop it at all and use the "stick down" stitch I have somewhere on my machine (pulling out instruction booklet). The hoop left nasty marks on the shirt.

Any help would be SO appreciated! This is quite an endeavour attempting to make outfits for 4 for our first trip!

(and now, to figure out how to post a photo!)

I stink at hooping for sure!! I definately use a tack down stitch to stabilize my fabric on top of my hooped stabilizer. Its just easier for me. I recently started using a spritz of spray adhesive too - boy that helped a lot with little shirts!!!! Have fun with it!! I do cut really close to the edges. Also, if you arent using one of HeatherSue's designs, sometimes the satin stitches are so narrow that its really hard!!! Hers are nice and wide and smooooooth!!!! Have fun with it!!!!

 

[travelbel]

I figured out how to add a picture - A GIANT ONE! Yikes! Gotta figure that out!

I did buy the image from a "Heather" off of etsy, but not sure if it's HeatherSue?!

Definately a little spray adhesive next time and no hooping the fabric!

Hello. I'm new to this thread, but have been on the DIS for quite a while.

I would like to make my 3 year old a Jasmine-inspired outfit that doesn't bare her middle for her to wear on our trip in May. She is about a size 4. I could really use some direction (pattern, photos, hints, etc). She loves dresses (but the outfit wouldn't need to be a dress) and I prefer something with sleeves so she doesn't burn her shoulders.

I have a Brother 4000D embroidery/sewing machine, so I have the tool, but I've never made clothing before. Please help this custom newbie.

Thank you!

Off site, at Terre Verde. We are staying 2 week so need space for 2 adults and 4 teens (one in a wheelchair!)

wow 4 teenagers, brave lady! hope we can meet up!

anyone else going to be in the world 3/29 - 4/9? would love to meet you and thank you personally for helping us out with the blankets!

I just looked at the Big Give site, we are up to 80 blankets
this is so much more that I had hoped for, but should of figured it would happen seeing all the wonderful things you all make for the MAW kids, you are definately making my wish come true!

 

[*Toadstool*]

I love the dress!!! Hannah looks beautiful! Serenity looks pretty cute too!

Thanks!

Looks like I lost all my quotes except for Teresa's!

I should be sewing anyhow. I have way too much stuff to finish. I wish someone could come be my sewing buddy and push me along and help me finish..
I guess my hubby can help me with watching Hannah when he gets home on Wednesday. We leave on Friday for Nick Hotel. Our first day at Disney is Saturday.
I'm kinda worried that I never received anything from Disney except for vouchers.. Aren't they supposed to send me more stuff?

]I have the Brother 350 SE and LOVE it! I am a beginning sewer and it was sooo easy to use. It does embroidery 4x4 and sewing!

Wendy,
Here is Allison's shirt...I know it is late, I'm finishing the boys shirts today and then will mail them priority in the AM, can you please PM the address! Thanks!
I'm so proud of this shirt...it is 3 separate embroidery files that I stitched out and it isn't crooked!

You are the only other person on here that I have seen has this machine. I also love mine but I am definatly gonna keep you in mind the next time I have a problem. I know that alot of other Brother users on here have a problem with C&C thread, but I don't with this machine, do you?

 

[ceemys]

Oh WOW!! I leave for 2 weeks since work has me super busy and I come back to some beautiful outfits!!! Keep up the good work!

Mom2O&E and Cibahwewah - great trip pics. Love everything.

Looks like a great first effort. Ditto everything Wendy said. With some digitizers it is hard to know how close to snip, I have had it like this, and also where I snipped too close and the applique fabric was peeling off like 10 minutes later.

Since my DSs are a little beyond the cute embroidery designs I like for little ones, I have to compromise and stitch out stuff like this if I want them to wear it.

He is thrilled with it, usually hates for me to take his pic, but will allow it if he really loves the item.


Also, did a growth chart for a little boy for Christmas.

I agree. I just bought a design for a popular site and the design is peeling up. The satin stitching is SO narrow too. I wish all of the designs I need could come from Heather!

 

[cogero]

I love that growth chart. I need to file that one away.

Wasn't it so cute I am hoping to meet them next week, but I have been hearing the lines are getting long.

VERY cute!!! I was going to type some of the things I loved, but I fear "spoiling" it for anyone who hasn't seen it!

I will say though that Mother Gothel was one of the most pure evil villains I have ever seen!

This is Heather's design, and one of my favorites! I use it a lot. You need to cut as close to the tack down stitching as you can.
You really need some good sharp curved scissors if you don't have them. They make a world of difference! This is what I use:

And, for t-shirts, I often make the design on regular fabric, or wash away (or regular, but you'll have to trim closely) stabalizer then sew it onto the shirt like a patch. Actually, you can do that with this design too. You can still trim away the extra fabric, and then cut the design off the shirt and sew it onto another shirt.

I've made a few belly-covered Jasmine outfits. I'll try to post some pictures in a bit.

That is such a clever idea!

you will get on your room keys "KeysToTheWorld -KTTW" your park tickets and dining credits if your on the dining plan or getting free dining when you check in.
Have a wonderful first trip!

Never thought to stitch out on wash away and then sew to the Tshirt... thanks for the idea.

And thanks for the compliment. I got the growth chart idea from the 1 Yard Wonders book, and everyone I know seems to want one.

Finally took pictures of the shirts I have been working on.

THis is the Ariel Skirt and Shirt for my niece for Christmas

This is a little more close up of the shirt. This is my first HeatherSue design

This is the Belle Cutie I made for my Daughter to go with her skirt.

This is the Joy Minnie Shirt for DD. She likes the red thread it is annoying me. I did not make the skirt I bought it on Etsy.

And here is a tank I made myself to wear around home.

 

[mommy2mrb]

very cute outfits!

 

[ms_mckenna]

Ladies I was going through my cedar chest and found some vintage tees from when I was little. I would love to upcycle them for my youngest. Is there a set of directions anywhere that you recommend?

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Most definately, where are you staying?

Oh, I hope we can all meet up and just say a quick hello.
