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

[NiniMorris]

I made my DH, my kids and I some matching shirts to wear for Christmas Eve/morning and I got them from Target. Not sure when they'll start moving the winter merchandise for spring stuff though. I ran into Target to get some stocking stuffers for my mom and saw the employees putting out swim suits

When I worked retail (back in the 70's) the day after Christmas is when we marked down all our Winter stuff and put out all our Spring/Summer stuff. We would come in on the 26th at 4am, so that by the time the store opened at 10, it was all new...

Now the retail stores concentrate on returns for the 26th. I used to buy all my swimwear the 26th...the only way I could guarantee that no one else had tried it on! It has really been strange to see the change of seasons happening slower... but even our Wally World has a lot of spring/summer stuff out...so maybe here in the Atlanta area we have a bigger call for the warmer weather stuff!

Thanks for all the replies! Stopped in Walmart this morning for milk and eggs and spent $60! But they had some thick tshirts for $6! Still need one for dh so I will try Target after we get some homeschooling done! I know Belk had some that were nice, but I don't want to spend too much on a white shirt!

I finished my "Pluto outfit"... Overall, I am very happy with how it turned out, but I am disappointed that it's not very Pluto like. I couldn't find the fabric that I really wanted (gold with white dots) so I had to settle for the plain gold. Because I didn't get the gold/white dot fabric, I did different sized dots in the ruffles. The red signifies Pluto's tongue, the green signifies his collar, and the black signifies his tail.

I really wanted to make a coordinating hair accessory, but I've been brainstorming this in the back of my head for weeks, and I have yet to come up with anything... instead, the outfit is being modeled by dd's brand new Limited Edition 2011 AG doll Kanani - who was just released yesterday... her really long hair in pig tails is to remind you of Pluto's ears dd says.

The "Fab 5" together:

Next on the list is Daisy Duck - even though she is technically not part of the Fab 5 - she does occasionally stand in - and since Donald is my fav - he must have his Daisy. I have her outfit completely planned out - hopefully I can find the fabric this time.

I hope everyone had a nice weekend.

Loving all these! Can't wait to see Daisy!

Not a sewing project. I will share those tomorrow. But wanted to share this:

We covered up the 80 on Jan 1st. So we have officially started our countdown. My daughter made this with her Slice that she got for Christmas. It hangs above the hospital bed in Andrew's room so he can put a sticker on each night before bed.

I love countdown's! Cute one! Maybe I should make us one. Dallas is nosy so any chance of surprising him with any part of the dismeet has been killed! I called and changed rooms the other day and he started asking a million questions when I got off the phone!

Here are a few pictures of the wedding we went to yesterday. It was for Andrew, the brother of Tim, elizabeth and Hannah. They were all in the wedding and behaved very well!

Ok, I hope I got your attention! You sent me a PM and I tried to send one back, but it won't let me. Maybe it's becuase you don't have any posts? No matter, if you're still interested, please PM me your email. Thanks!!

Everything looks great guys!!! Love the AG dolls as the fab five. I have a 3.5 year old and I jsut don't think she's ready for one yet. But is it bad that I "asked" my DH if I could get my own the other day!

Toys R Us has their own version 18' dolls called the Journey girls. I got my 6 yr old one for Christmas. she was very reasonably priced. here is the one we got for her:

I can't wait to start making clothes for her. We are getting our very soon to be 8 yr old one for her birthday too.

Need t-shirt help! I commented to dh that I will probably just do customs for Sara Beth and maybe 1 set of long sleeve shirts for us. He wants me to make mickey tye dye again. Where should I buy the long sleeve white t's? Most likely I will be the only one who will wear it more than once so they don't have to be a great brand, but I don't want them to fall apart. I need 3 adult tshrits. Maybe 1 kids...not sure if I will make one for Sara Beth. Any suggestions?

That's a pretty doll! I think the face is prettier than the AG dolls.

Holy smokes you guys have been busy posting!!!!! I had a multiquote and it died. Everyone has been posting some beautiful things! I love the smocked dress.
Wendy I love the pictures so sweet <3

I agree and at 29.99 I was very happy. she asked for an AG doll and I choked when I saw the price.
We just recently bought a house and moved. I so can not wait to get painted and unpacked fully so I can sew. I got "Sewing clothes kids love" for my birthday and a gift card to Hancock fabrics for Christmas. I am itching to get behind my machine and make a feliz. I was under the impresion that the vida came with the book as well but it doesn't

I have that book too, and still need to crack out the patterns!! I'm planning to do a feliz or two for Annabella for this next Disney trip tough. That reminds me!! I have $20 to burn at Hancock once the boys go back to school tomorrow!! WOO HOO

WELCOME!! I'm still learning how to read clothing patterns and am sort of a self taught seamstress myself. YOUtube and Google are very helpful, but I have to tell you, this board has been very helpful when troubleshooting and learning new things as well

 

[shefrn1]

can't wait to have the time to get back into it...maybe once my house is back in order after the xmas decorations come down...maybe I'll be able to sneak upstairs during naptime...but doubt it...lol!!!

Can I ask something slightly off topic? What are the measurements for an AG-style doll? I want to get dd8 a MapleLea doll, which are the same size as AG's, but Canadian...

I found some doll clothes (NOT AG) on clearance that I "think" might fit, but don't want to include them in the gift unless I'm sure they'll fit to avoid disappointment, kwim? I can't open the packages without destroying them, but I think I can measure/estimate inseam, chest, waist etc from the outside, laying flat....

TIA!

AG Dolls are 18" dolls.

Looks like it was a gorgeous wedding! And it's always a bonus (and relief) when the kids behave.

She is very cute... How is her hair? That's the one thing I always worry about other brands... when my girls were about 4, we got them the Target version and with in a week the heads fell off and I couldn't get them to stay on after that - and their hair was trashed. We've had the AG dolls since then, and to be honest - they've lasted 7 years - so I like the quality (and the warranty).

I am new too (very new) - but welcome just the same! I am in the process of teaching myself to sew too... it's so much fun!

There are several stores that carry clothes that will fit AG. Target carries the "Our Generation" brand. The Maplea dolls also fit (and I've heard their quality is just as great as AG). I know the above mentioned brand at TrU also fits. I thought Walmart also carried an 18" line too - but I can't rmember the name (maybe Madam Alexander?)... Does that help any?

I am thinking of ordering a couple of Tie Dye Mickey shirts for our upcoming trip. Has anyone had good luck with a particular Ebay/Etsy person. Please PM me if you can help! Thanks, Jen

Not really, but thank you! I HAVE some off-brand clothes...I'm trying to see if they might fit BEFORE I buy the doll...maybe stupid, but I'd like to know, kwim? They were marked down to $3 per package, so I couldn't resist buying them....I don't want to wreck the packaging to take them out, but can measure those three from "outside" the package to see if they will fit...

What I really need is for someone to tell me the inseam, waist and chest measurements of an AG doll....I know MapleLea's are the same size, but aren't as common, to be able to ask.

TIA!

AG measurements...
Chest 12"
Waist 11"
Hips 12"
Inseam...I measured from her bottom to the floor 7"

Hope that helps.

They're really not hard to make yourself you know. My DS and I always do them together before a trip.

Sorry, I guess I didn't understand your question. I was trying to tell you some of the brands that I knew were interchangable with AG (or similar) dolls - incase those were the brands you had purchased.

Looks like someone already gave you the measurments for AG. I hope you're able to measure them and they work out.

I got what you meant....I hope I didn't sound snippy with my response...I didn't mean to! The ones I found are an odd brand...not run of the mill name brand! Thanks for trying to help!
