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

[pixiefrnd]

I bought a scarf and thought I'd do an embroidery design on it for my neice. I guess it's about 24 inches wide. Where would you put he design? In the center, or off to the side? It's not a heavy fabric, just a nice soft scarf.

Depends on how long the scarf is, and how you think she would wear it. I always put my design on the ends. Let me see if I have a pic. of the last one I did and I will upload in a couple minutes.

Where is everyone??

Okay, here I am.

Some people hate ruffles, well I HATE sewing patches on my son's uniforms (but I'm such a good mom I haven't told him).

He's been in the Navy for five years so he just got a uniform allowance for new duds. The interesting part that I wanted to share, because I thought you would find it interesting as I did, was about the eagles on their lapels. See them? During times of war they're sewn to face the person in the uniform, to watch over them. Duirng peace time they're switched, facing away from the person to watch out for the enemy.

Anyway, tomorrow's the big army-navy football game, so GO NAVY!

Hi Guys!!

Finally found 3 white shirts for the kids -2 from target, 1 from Old Navy - lol - I wanted green, but they didnt have them in all their sizes, so I went with White -lol -

Just got some new info From Chelsea's mom!!!! The kids (3 and 5 years) love to match/coordinate with each other, and will plan that on their own!!!! lol - how CUTE is that!!!! Also found out that Fuller LOVES button up shirts (calls them dress up shirts) and that Chelsea loves Star WArs because her big brother does!!! so CUTE!!!!

There are lots of things left to sign up for!! I know that the kids are REALLY looking forward to meeting characters, so if anyone could do some fun autograph books that'd be AWESOME!!!! A girly Star Wars theme outfit for Chelsea would be awesome too!!! Also, the whole Family LOVES SCooby doo!!!!!!!!

I have been lurking as well for the last couple days. I have been making tshirts. I think I am addicted. My littles are going to a freind's house on Saturday to help make cookies....yep...you guessed it. I made special tshirts that say "North Pole Cookie Taster" for them to wear (forgot to take picture before giving them to them...maybe I will get one tomorrow before they head off to make cookies).

Then my daughter and I have a booth at our Church Holiday Market tomorrow and I made tshirts for us to wear. Mine says "Bling it on Santa" and hers says "Santa's favorite". They turned out really cute. I will have someone take our picture in them if I remember.

Some of you may get a kick out of this...has nothing to do with sewing but it is cute, so I am sharing. My daughter has an Elf on the Shelf for the girls. The 5 yr old isn't really sure about it this year but the 3 yr old is convinced he is "pretend". However, she doesn't want her mom telling the elf (they call him Amos) anything she has done wrong. This morning she said "momma, go talk to Amos". She said "Wendy, what do you want me to talk to him about?" She said "go tell him about Jesus...go, go on...tell him". I think she is thinking if Amos knows about Jesus, he will be a little more forgiving!

This is really cute!

These 2 sound so close. They are adorable.

Wow lots of cute things have been posted since the last time I was here. Somehow work gets in the way of fun things like looking at what people have made lately!

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.

It's fun to see things for older boys. The growth chart is a great idea. I may have to make one for my nephew!

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 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.

Cute outfits. I always enjoy seeing what others make for themselves!

Whoa!!! WAY behind!! lol!!!

Here is what I just finished.

The snowman applique is great. It goes really well with the snowman ruffles.

So jealous of all the Disney talk! We just went in September, but I, as many of us, would happily go back tomorrow!

I'm actually making a dress for my daughter even though we have absolutely no trip planned and probably won't be back until May 2012. I'm really excited for it though. I LOVE the you and me/world fabric from A. Henry, so I am digitizing small world children to make a strip skirt dress. I have two done and they are so cute!

Now back to work - a lot more to do. Happy holidays everyone and safe travels!!!

Those are really cute. Good luck with the rest of the set!

Working on an outfit for a customer in the style of the stuff from the Sewing Clothes kids love book. Have the top done so far.

Skirt and Jacket to follow.

I really like the colour combination here. Can't wait to see the rest of the outfit!

I was waiting on Emily (Big Give family) to get these before posting and I just saw they they were received. She also posted a video of Emily in the dress that is just adorable. Go to their pre-trip report (page 12 if you don't have time to read the whole thing) and check it out. It will totally melt your heart to see her giggle. It makes every minute I spend in my sewing room worth it!

The shirts and dresses are absolutely beautiful. I really enjoyed looking at what her family has received in the last little while. I am sure Emily and her siblings will get lots of attention in those outfits!

I made my niece a cord Vida for Christmas. She lives in MN so I think both she and her Mom will like it.

And I thought I share these bracelets my DD & I made for her cousins, aunts, friends. We live near the beach and they all love coming to see us here so we thought they might like something with a beachy theme.

That looks like a nice and warm dress. The bracelets look like they are so much fun!

Okay, here I am.

Thanks for sharing the information about the patch. It is very interesting indeed.

This is my very first attempt of an Amelia Dress, I just love the vintage look Christmas fabric. Calliope loves it as well. I think the colours suit her complection. This dress is not for our Disney Holiday the fabric was on sale so it was perfect to practice with.

Now this is my second dress and this was done in a rush and after a 12 hour shift at work. I made this dress a little bit big so that it will still fit Calliope next year in December when we will be on the Dream Bahamian Cruise over Christmas. This fabric is stunning, it features Santa enjoying the summer at thebeach ,fishiing, swimming with dolphins, and playing golf.
This will be perfect for our Christmas cruise.

This is so pretty! I so wish I had an embroidery machine. I used to use moms but she moved closer to the mouse!

I love that vintage Christmas too! Great dresses!

So much cute stuff! I always catch up on this thread while I'm at work and it always makes me want to go home sick so I can do some more sewing!

We got home late last night from our quickie weekend at Disney. My mom gave us cash for Christmas/birthdays and told us to do something fun, so we decided to go to MVMCP since we've always wanted to. We arrived late Wednesday at Coronado Springs for our first stay there. We stayed in Casitas and just loved the theming of the buildings. Thursday we went to the boardwalk area specifically so we could try out a Kitchen Sink at Beaches n Cream. Since we were celebrating my birthday, they picked us to be the family of the day. We were not able to eat all of the Kitchen Sink, but it was still fun to try. ESPN was filming a spot with the Heisman nominees while we were there, and they all wished me a happy birthday. Thursday night was the party and we had a blast. The only character we waited for was Tiana since she's currently Alison's favorite princess plus I always get a picture with a princess when I'm there for my birthday. We liked the parade and fireworks, but definitely like the Halloween stuff better. Friday we had a late breakfast at Chef Mickey's, rode the monorail (DS2's favorite thing to do) to see the Christmas decorations, then back to the hotel for a swim before we left. It was a fabulous couple of days, and it was very un-magical to have to get up this morning and go to work!

I do have pictures of everything - because of course I whipped up some customs for the trip! - but I haven't uploaded them yet. I will also share Emily's Big Give items when I see that her family has received them. I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise! I'm also going to try to keep up better with the thread.

I haven't had a chance this week to thank everyone for the hints, tips and thoughts on the embroidery! I'm going to run out today and get those scissors that are curved and experiment some more. I just started a new part time job, so it's been crazy (and of course Christmas!). I love the idea of doing the design on stabilizer and then sewing to the shirt... that will help out a lot, as some of the shirts I bought for myself are stretchy. And, easier to place designs just about anywhere on dresses and stuff! fun!

 

[billwendy]

Sounds like FUN!!!!!!

Just so everyone knows - the Big Give Families are banned from any of the crafty threads on the DIS - I make them pinky swear!!!!!! So go ahead and post those pictures!!!!!!!

found the picture, I did this one for my neice last year.

This scarf if really adorable. I used a purchased scarf and it's about 32X70. I think I might do it off to the side and see if I like it. Now I have to decide if I should do the design at each end.

 

[ms_mckenna]

Ladies I have a TON of fabric books that I want to make something (clothing) for EE for spring and possibly for the boys. Can you guys tell me what you have done with them?

This morning she said "momma, go talk to Amos". She said "Wendy, what do you want me to talk to him about?" She said "go tell him about Jesus...go, go on...tell him". I think she is thinking if Amos knows about Jesus, he will be a little more forgiving!

That's too cute. We have elves that I made for the kids before the Elf on a Shelf thing started. They come every morning & usually bring a little something for the kids (often it's one of our Christmas books or something like that that we put up after Christmas) & go back to the North Pole every night to tell Santa if the kids were good. The girls will talk about how the elves are just toys at our house, but when they get back to the North Pole they turn into real elves because of the holiday magic.

wow,love all the clothes you ladies are very talented! I'm very jealous!

If you find a large enough applique A, you could write Amy in the cross bar of the A. I think that would be cute.

I have got to get a pair of curved scissors. I have some nice sharp embroidery scissors but they just don't do so well on the curves. I also didn't think about doing the patches and just sewing them to the outfit- that would probably save me A LOT of hooping stress!

Sounds like FUN!!!!!!

Just so everyone knows - the Big Give Families are banned from any of the crafty threads on the DIS - I make them pinky swear!!!!!! So go ahead and post those pictures!!!!!!!

It was awesome, just way too short. But work has been stressful lately and that couple days of carefree magic was just what I needed! I'm already trying to figure out a way to go in Feb/Mar for DS1's birthday.

I did not realize the families were banned. I think I would find it hard to resist the temptation to stalk this thread if I were on the receiving end!

These are the shirts for Mom, Dad, Carter, and Drew:

Tigger outfit for Emily:

and Princess Aurora for Brenna:

Alison is begging for a Princess Aurora dress now so I'm sure I'll be making another one of those in the future. I'd actually like to make her some dress up clothes for Christmas, but I'm not sure I'll get around to it before then.
