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

[mommyof2princesses]

Hi, everyone!! It's been awhile since I've posted, and I think catching up is a lost cause!!

Here's my latest, not Disney, but still cute (the skirt is Farbenmix's Falda)

And she's kept it on all day

Love it! Now, you need to make some in adult sizes!

I use a regular pencil most of the time - usually it washes out after I am done. If not, an eraser will do the trick!

I can now share the items I made for one of the Big Gives since the family has received them (please ignore Mickey and Minnie's feet in the pictures):

Front:

And pillowcases:

The shirt and the dress are so cute! The pillowcases are neat! I might have to make a few of those!
I also sometimes just use a pencil. I have a fade away marker that I use a lot.

A couple of pics of the outfit for Mallory's MAW Big give:

Back:

Saw this on facebook too and I still LOVE it! The colors are so bright and inviting. She will be sure to get LOTS of attention in it!

you can download the Stitch Era for free and play with stuff - even import free fonts!!

I just searched for the Stitch Era and saw that it says you can download for free, but I can't find where to actually do that. Do you happen to have a link? Thanks!

Hey Everyone!

Khelsey's Big Give is coming along GREAT!!!! Would anyone be interested in doing some kind of little bag/tutu bag/backpack for her 2 little sisters? Also, this is Khelsey's first wheelchair - do we have any idea for some decorations for it? Someone is making her a disney wheelchair bag so that helps - any other ideas????

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and compliments on the Mickey tie shirt (as welll as your kind words about the books!) I did them all by hand...Photoshop is my BFF! I had them printed through Artscow, Shutterfly, and Picaboo.

I am seriously in awe of all of the stuff being posted (I'm still trying to figure out the multi-quote feature.) That Dumbo outfit is to die for. The attention to detail is crazy! I really need to dig out my trusty sewing machine....seeing all these amazing works of art is really inspiring me to try a YCMT pattern. I really love the Simply Sweet halter tops/dresses - tell me honestly...how difficult is it? I pretty much suck at following patterns.

So - I found a few 'ringer' tshirts at Walgreens for $1 and just couldn't resist buying a few. I whipped up a new project last night while watching football:

I really wish they had plain white shirts in DD1's size (24 months.) I searched everywhere and all I could find in her size were onesies. Can anyone suggest a place?

That top is ADORABLE!

Did you try walmart? My DD is in the same size and I get them there. Another place would be if you have a hobby lobby the 2/4 runs pretty small.

Your Mickey bar T is adorable!

Have you tried Old Navy for T's? I have good luck with their quality. I have also had good luck with Target's T's but now sure what they have for babies/toddlers. I have also had very good service from www.jiffyshirts.com but I like the quality/softness of Old Navy & Target better.

The simply sweet really isn't hard. The time consuming part is the gathering but you will LOVE Carla's instructions. You might consider starting with the Easy Fit pants. You would get a ton of use out of that pattern for both DS & DD. I used to sew but hadn't sewn in years when I started sewing again so I could make my tomboy a dress in Buzz fabric. She'd wear a dress as long as it wasn't too frilly or pink. I started with a Simplicty or McCall's pattern and the fit was off. Then I made easy fit PJ pants for all 3 of my kids. My oldest who was 10 at the time and had never seen me sew asked me how I made them look "so real". Then I made Carla's A-line and then Simply Sweet. Her portrait peasant is super easy too. And with her instructions even the bowling shirt isn't too hard.

Well day one sets are done I already posted EE's squirt but this is for the three boys. My oldest has talked about she wants Bubbles now so we will see. All of the characters I choose I try and make them characters that fit thier personality. Course Bubbles does fit her lol.

Brucie for Jackson he is our brute of the bunch

Nemo for Tyler he was on ekmo for a while as an infant and lost part of his thumb we call it his little fin

Pearl for Noah because he is contantly giving the play by play lol.

And all
TFL

SOOOO perfect!!! SOOOOO cute!!! Love all of them!!! I hope you don't plan on getting much done in the park the day you wear those. You're going to get stopped every 2" by guests asking you where you got them or telling you how awesome they are.

LOL is it that bad? We have never worn customs to Disney before. But thank you though I am really happy how they turned out. Shocked how much I am enjoying embroidering I just have to get faces down I think I am going to quit doing them on the machine and get some floss and sit on the couch with hubby.

 

[babynala]

sorry, this is not the greatest pic, but I promise to get a cute one when she wears it at Disney World this MAY!!!

The yellow fabric you used is really sweet.

We will be there 10th-17th BWV and AKV

Congrats on your trip. Hope Hannah is walking by then.

Hope I'm walking well too. I went to my podiatrist today. I am 7 week post op on my left foot today. It is feeling pretty good but my right foot that is 5 months post op still hurts. He took an xray of the right foot today and says it looks good but he said I should get a CT scan just to be sure everything is OK. He seems to think it will be OK with time but I'm worried there might be something else wrong with it.

Hope your foot is OK. Maybe it is just taking longer to recover then the other foot.

They are starting Disney Junior on Feb 14th (new channel) I cannot wait! To say the least!

Oh, this is going to be an entire new channel? I thought they were just renaming the "Playhouse Disney" part of the regular channel to Junior.

up next is Flynn Rider. I may have to change some things around like the boat. That part may be hand appliqued as will the water. I will also do some of the lanterns too. I would love to put some line from the movie on it but not sure what to put because we have only seen it once. Any ideas?

This came out so nice. Can't wait to see your finished creation.

I LOVE this! My daughter is 4 1/2 and we have never cut her hair because its so long and perfect and we call her rapunzel too! We are acutally going to cut it I think at DW this May and give to locks for love!
Vester

How thoughtful of your daughter

I use the water soluble Marvy markers. I like that it will stay where I need it for as long as I need it. Then a quick spritz and it is gone. I use both the purple and the white...but prefer the purple. The white dries out too fast!

I know some people worry about it not coming out...I just test it on a small piece, but I have never had any problems with it not washing out. Of course, if I leave a project alone too long...like a week...when I come back the marks are gone! (I hate that!)LOL
Nini

I can relate, I marked up a wall hanging i am trying to finish and I'm getting nervous the marks are going to fade. At least it will serve as good motivation to get it done.

Hi, everyone!! It's been awhile since I've posted, and I think catching up is a lost cause!!

Here's my latest, not Disney, but still cute (the skirt is Farbenmix's Falda)

This came out really nice. Looks like she loves it!

My son and my car made it safely back from Rhode Island and he didn't have any problems driving in the snow. The big scratch on the front bumper is from pulling out of the tiny parking area in his apartment building.

KIDS! Glad they are home safe. Can't wait to see what you make with your new toys.

The dress came out so cute and I love the bowling shirt. Great job on the pillowcases.

This is amazing. Mallory will look so cute in it.

Now Im in search of the perfect animals, what do you think of these? Too whimsy? I could do strips of pastel shades batiks in between....

http://www.goldenneedledesigns.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=186

This is a cute set of animals.

Ok, I have the applique stuff figured out!!! In fact I spent so much time thinking about it yesterday, I had dreams about it last night.....

These came out really great! What a beautiful family you have.

Ticker check

I fell today snowboarding, backwards and slide head first on my back down for a time period I don't know. It all got a bit lost. I am tired, feel sick but going to be fine. Let's hear it for having fun.

Hi Leslie (or anyone else that might know)~

First, the outfit is adorable. My daughter now wants me to make her one with Minnie on it I have been searching for the pattern all day, and it seems the only place I can find it is in Australia? Do you know if it is a new pattern or should I just go ahead and get it from there? I am not really sure about shipping from Australia.

Thanks for any help!

Maaaaannnnnn....I'll have to browse tonight while I'm at work. I usually have NO trouble getting to $50 there....

Have you all ever felt better just because you own it?? I wanted the rosetta bag pattern from Sis Boom for a while now, but just held off purchasing it. Well, this morning I finally gave up and bought it. I am not going to make it any time soon (that MASS cleaning of my craft room/fabric stash found about 10 unfinished projects) but I am just happy to own it.

This morning is church, then my daughters have their first basketball game to cheer for. Then, hopefully some sewing this afternoon.

Yes, I hoard patterns. I hoard scrapbook stuff too. I haven't seriously scrapbooked in about a year but still keep buying stuff cause I feel the need to have it!

I can't stand that Fish Hooks. DD7 and DS5 think it is funny but I just don't get the humor either

Fish Hooks irritates me too. I'm making my friend's daughter her birthday cake and she wants Fish Hooks. I'm so totally uninspired on that cake it's not even funny. Usually if I get a topic I can roll with it, but I've been secretly hoping that her daughter changes her mind!

I use the 505 spray that I can get at my local sewing store. It is not suppose to gum up your machine or needle.

Thanks, I'll have to look for that. I almost put my embroidery machine through the window on the last shirt I made!

Well, Im a little sad today - it would have been my Dad's 74th birthday today! It was always fun because he was 10 years older than my mom and she is 20 years older than me and all of our birthdays ended in the same number - he would turn the corner for us first. He graduated to heaven right after Billy and I were married. With being an only child, my parents and I were very very close. Thankfully God took care of my mom and gave us Bob (who is doing very well by the way) so she wouldnt have to be alone at such a young age (she was only a few years older than me when he died). But anyways, Im missin him today!! But, today is the day we celebrate Zoey's birthday - we are guessing she is 13 yo (not sure of her real age since she was a rescued doggie). Got her some new pupperoni treats and some Dingo bones - lol!! And she is sporting her Heathersue cupcake fleece today!! lol!!! THanks for listening, sorry for the ramble!! lol

My mom remarried a Bob after my dad passed....just found that a little funny. I hope that your day goes well. My dad's birthday is just a couple weeks before mine, it's always fairly somber for me.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments on the outfit for the Big Give! I was going for whimsical, circus-like, without scary clowns! lol!
As far as my fabric stash, I work in a plant where I can get clean cardboard, so I used that to wrap my fabric around. I know lots of folks use the comic board inserts, but I am cheap, and I wanted to use free! lol! I figure, if the fabric manufacturers can wrap their fabric around cardboard, then so can I. I don't worry too much about it being acid free. I figure it still is better than all thrown together in a tote!

Definitely not scary! I had planned to buy the display boards when they go on sale at the craft stores and cut them up to use. Not free, but definitely a lot cheaper than the comic book boards. I'm not at all worried about acid free - I don't plan to be storing them on cardboard forever!

And all
TFL

Adorable!

I hope you're okay!



Well I have to get sewing! I need to finish up one more big give and then get started on our customs - leaving in 14 days!

 

[Darragh]

Hi All

I just finished my Donald Duck t-shirt for the Big Give but not that it's off the hoop, I see hoop marks! Is there some way to get these off? Do I mist around the marks and then iron? Or would steam ironing take it off? I'm almost afraid to iron that I'll set in hoop marks! Please help!

 

[NiniMorris]

Well, I'm a bit worried, apprehensive, scared, confused and ...excited! Tomorrow morning I will be giving my very first official sewing lesson for beginners.

I have had so many people ask me for help in learning to sew, I decided this may be the niche I am looking for. (in a previous life I was a trainer at a large insurance company)

Since I have such a large sewing/quilting studio (complete with a overly well stocked toy room/game room next to it!) it really makes sense. I have room to have another 4 or 5 sewing machines hooked up...so I can also do a class on how to use your machine now that you've taken it out of the box!

My guinea pig class will be tomorrow morning at 9 am. I really hope it goes well...wish me luck!

So cute! I second the previous suggestion of Walmart. If you need a few shirts there are also sites online you can order from that have a bigger selection and very good prices...of course my brain isn't working right now so I can't remember the name of the site! I got it from someone here, so hopefully they will see this and post it again.
