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

[teresajoy]

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.

I love the dress! And, the bracelets are so pretty! What a nice present!

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!


Tigger outfit for Emily:

and Princess Aurora for Brenna:

.

I don't ban the families when I host a Give. I figure they can decide for themselves if they want to see what they are getting. I use to, but I know a lot of them peaked anyway!

I am LOVING the Tigger skirt and top!!! That is just adorable!!! And Aurora turned out so pretty!!!!! I love it! When I did the Aurora, the points didn't look as nice as your do on the straps.

A few pictures from our weekend:

Jason snatching cherries from the infamous Kitchen Sink:

I love the Kitchen Sink! YUMMY!

The outfits all look great!!! I love that monorail one!

OK...probably should have asked this BEFORE we let the grand daughter have a chocolate covered doughnut...but is there a trick to washing pettiskirts?

Nini

I have washed Arminda and Lydia's in the washer many times. I usually put it on gentle cycle. Sometimes I hand wash them. I hang them to dry usually, although I have put them in the dryer on low or no heat. Any heat is a little risky though, so I woudn't recommend that!

Teresa-thanks for posting the video on making pillowcases without any exposed seems! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7moryq_ZRFY So quick & easy and love the finished look. Here's a couple I made. The Pooh one is cute but the paw print fabric is a much nicer fabric.

You are welcome!!! I was so happy to find that video, because I really wasn't "getting it" by just reading descriptions and looking at pictures!!!

Your pillowcases look great! I need to make some for my family.

these are headbands that my BF requested I had made her some a few years ago and she wanted Black and White ones

Those are so pretty!

I finally finished all 20 Super Hero Capes. I made them for my 10 great nieces & nephews, 5 grandkids, 4 for DD's preschool class she teaches, & 1 for DD's nephew for Christmas.

WOWZA!!!!! You have been BUSY!!! What a wonderful thing for you to do!!! You are so sweet.

I'm back from my birthday cruise, and suffering from post-cruise depression. But I know the cure for that is to immediately book another, so we did that already I was glad to see I wasn't too far behind...I can tell it's holiday time and many of you are super busy or already on vacation. For anyone who's here this week, I'm sorry the weather is so crummy, I came home to freeze warnings, and I'm an hour away from the Mouse, so I know they're not liking it much either. I've got tons of pics to download and sort through so I can share all the fun things I made for Rebecca. She received many compliments and loved the attention, but I had to laugh because there was only one store-bought outfit she wore the entire trip, and she complained that nobody told her she looked cute that day!



I made something like that, with Minnie Mouse dot fabric also, obnoxious, but fun to wear. I made them for my friends and I for our annual girls only weekend getaway.

I'm glad you are back!!!! I can't wait to see some pictures!!!

Those pants are so cute!

Had a very busy sewing weekend. My son's school is doing Charlie Brown Christmas, and I had agreed to help with the snoopy costume, then I was at the school on Friday and Sally does not have a costume, so I did that over the weekend.

Here is Snoopy (the back, cause the front is just white) Easy fit pants and a rtw white shirt with a big dot and collar sewn on.

Here is Sally (the precious dress upsized with a short skirt)

And finally, here is the Insa Skirt to go with the top I posted last week. I am really happy with it all. The girls face with the ribbons is the same on the front and back of the skirt, and the flowers on the one side are also on the other side. It is a little off center to show them.

And here is the outfit together. I am still supposed to be doing a jacket to go with this, so I better get started soon.

You were busy too! Everything looks so nice! I couldn't help but giggle a little at the tail on the Snoopy outfit though!

GC will be in the mail today for Bryce!

is there a thread for Bryce? I couldn't find it...
thanks!

Thank you!!! Amy, Bryce's Mom has a blog that I linked to in the Give thread. (At least I meant to, I'll go make sure!)

Yes, at my house too. My 9 yr old DS said "he better not put those pants on backwards..."

This made me laugh out loud!!!

Fellow dis'er t-beri pointed me here. Below is my original message.

So, I was in DHS on December 4th having a lovely day. Just outside of Mama Melroses there was a little girl wearing a dress. I swear I never do anything like this, but I just blurted out to the mom, "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT DRESS?" It was adorable with long panels in the skirt and a princess baby on each panel. She said that someone made the dress for her daughter. Now I want to kick myself. I should have asked to take a picture of the dress - it was so adorable and I would love to make one myself. It was so nice and the images were very official looking, so I feel like there must be a pattern around. Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? I would love some direction since I've searched all over the internet and can only find cross stitch patterns for the images that I remember. Thanks.

I see many items on this thread that remind me of the dress. Did anyone here make a dress like this?

Several people have made dresses like that. But we are not allowed to advertise or sell on the Dis. You may want to check out Etsy or Ebay.

OK Ladies! Here I am for your help again! I am embroidering on a "Microplush" throw and I'm not sure what to do. The applique does fine, but teh embroidery sinks in. Any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks!

Thanks - I really just want to see a dress like it. What are the rules? I've scoured etsy and I only find embroidery patterns and no one who makes dresses like the one I describe. Can someone post a link on etsy or is that not allowed? Thanks for the help and forgive my newness to this business. I'm so desperate for that dress!

Great stuff posted lately, I have been lurking all week while we were away, but didn't have time to post. I will try to do better now that we are back and getting caught up!


We got back from Disney Saturday night. We had the most fabulous, awesome trip! It was really cold from Monday night to Weds morning, and somewhat cool other days, but it was beautiful and sunny every single day and we made the best of it. We all agreed we liked it better than when it is 95 degrees out the last time we went together!

I have TONS of pictures, but for now I will just share the outfits from each day. They all went over sooo well and DGD got so much attention in them that it really made the trip even more special. She absolutely loved showing them off and was not shy at all. We definitely got lots of comments on all the outfits, and a few here and there on my ruffle bag and my older messenger bag as well.

I will start off with day 1:

Minnie dress and matching Chef Mickey's tees for all of us:

Day 2 coming up soon.

I made a dress for a little girl that was at Disney during the time you mention, but not sure if it is the one you saw. Was it this?

 

[mommy2mrb]

love the shirts and minnie dress!

 

[ellenbenny]

This one shows my small messenger bag and my huge ruffle bag. It actually worked quite well for the parks and got quite a few comments.

OMG - it is just gorgeous. You are so talented! Do you have an etsy page?

I've made one too. Like a previous poster said I used HeatherSues embroidery. I LOVE Ellenbennys by the way!!!

Our second day was Sunday Dec 5th and this was DGD's 4th birthday. DH and I bought her the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique makeover in the afternoon, and Cinderella's Royal Table for an early dinner. She loved the boutique and the makeover more than I could have ever dreamed! The Belle dress got tons of compliments and she loved it. The only problem was it was still a little long on her and hard to walk around in, but luckily we had the stroller, and only a short time between the makeover and dinner, and then we were done for the day. The photopass pictures are even better, but I don't have the cd yet.

This was such a wonderful day!

Sorry for so many pictures!!

If you go to the start of this thread, there is a Disboutiquers photobucket with lots of outfits people on this thread have made. I am sure you can find dresses like you saw there (you can also scroll through the threads-the dress is quite popular)

I remember seeing this dress on my trip. People all around were asking where it came from - it is very pretty!

Day 3 Monday was Hollywood Studios and lunch at Prime Time Cafe. I don't know if you remember that I hand embroidered the Prime Time logo on the back of a bowling shirt and paired it with a pluto skirt. The day turned out to be somewhat cold so she had the shirt covered up a lot of the day, but at lunch when the waitress saw the outfit and the back of the shirt she took DGD by the hand and paraded her through a large part of the restaurant and showed her off!

She still had her hair up for 2 days after the makeover...

I didn't get any new pictures of the back of the shirt so this is the one from when I made it.

Tuesday was Animal Kingdom day and we had an 8:15am breakfast at Tusker House. It was only about 30 degrees this morning so our matching tees and outfit were all covered up!

But inside we were able to take off the jackets and at least see the outfits during breakfast.

Brrrrr!

 

[ellenbenny]

On Weds we went back to the Magic Kingdom and then dinner at 1900 Park Fare. I forgot to get my picture taken with Lady Tremaine in my custom tee, but DH did take this picture of me earlier in the day.

At dinner DGD wore the stepsisters dress and got lots of attention and loved showing the characters where they were on her dress.
