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

[WyomingMomof6]

I hope one of you very talented ladies can help me! Our elementary school has asked me to make a super-hero cape for "Zero the Hero" for their hundred-day celebration. Of course, they asked me in August and being the procrastinator that I am, I haven't even started and they will need it next month! It needs to fit an adult. Any ideas or patterns?

Great stuff posted lately, I'm at work and don't have time to quote but love it all!

Finished Mallory's give last night. Need to take the pictures after the kids get off to school.

Going to work on some fun stuff this week before starting Khelsey's give.

 

[DMGeurts]

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:

This is so cute - the idea is brilliant!

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

Love, love, love!!! These are adorable!

This one shows the quilt, the bumper pads, and a little pillow I made:

The diaper stacker:

And in this one you can see the crib skirt, set up on my dining room table since I don't have a crib to try any of this on:

This turned out just amazing!!!! I love it all!

What a precious picture!

THis is adorable!

Heading to work but when I get home I am going to start my first Carla C easy fit pants.

Also all this talk of sergers has be wanting one LOL and I am not even sure what I would do with it

I can't wait to see pictures!

Cute!!!

Back:

And the pink Cindy dress - she looks just like a princess in this one!

Thanks for looking! Jessica

I love the Daisy dress!!! We are huge Donald fans here - so we have to love Daisy! I've always loved the pink Cindy dress too!

Here is the outfit I made for Mallory's Big Give it will coordinat with Callie's necklace and a tutu that is being made!!!

I have to admit - I watched a Christmas movie while I was watching it!!! lol - Mallory has gotten me in the mood (although it isnt to hard for me - Im BAD - my tree is still up!!!)

Good luck with the serger hunting. I just got the Brother one but haven't really used it too much yet.
I love the Rudolph outfit you made for Mallory's give. It is so cute and I love the Rudolph story in her PTR.

Now that Chelsea from the big give has received the dresses I can post them here! She looks SOOO cute in them! I love it!
Daisy: They're going to Tusker so I wanted to make this! I had these great fabrics from when I made my neighbors baby bedding (so cute too - need to post pics) and I digitized a daisy to go along!
Can't find a full front pic.

The Daisy outfit is awesome, the fabric combinations are perfect. I love how you casually mention that you digitized Daisy to go along with the theme. Very impressive. The pink Cindy dress is always my favorite, the little bird looks cute.

My 770 arrived today. So while everyone else was out getting milk and bread in anticipation of tomorrow's snow, I went to Staples and bought a USB flash drive so I can get some of Heather's designs.

Two days ago I got email from Disney offering a resort upgrade for my trip in 20 days. At first I wasn't interested because I'm planning to stay at Port Orleans Riverside for the first time. I was looking forward to trying POR (it would be my fifth different resort in five years) and I figured there must be a sales pitch for DVC.

I read through some posts on the Resorts thread and a bunch of people have gotten the same offer and there don't appear to be strings -- so I upgraded to Old Key West. I had my choice of OKW or Saratoga Springs, but I live 15 miles from Saratoga Springs NY so that didn't appeal to me.

Gotta figure out something to make for Khelsea's Big Give.

Congrats on the arrival of your new machine. I guess if you get snowed in you will have something to keep you busy. How exciting that you got the upgrade, let us know how you liked the resort when you get back.

My beginners sewing class went great. In fact it started at 10 this morning and just finished up a few minutes ago...sort of!

I had two students. One was my oldest daughter...and the other was her best friend and 2 of her 3 kids. (one of which is my youngest daughter's best friend)

We had a blast! The best friend had never seen a sewing machine at work so it was all brand new to her. She brought a packaged apron kit from WalMart. We got it almost completed before our 3 hours had passed! The younger girls made fleece blankets for Haiti.

My daughter raided some of my fabric stash and decided to make an outfit for a little girl at church who is having her second birthday later this week. She made an A line top with a pair of easy fit pants. She had to make a quick shopping trip to get some buttons, so it ran a little long....

My daughter is a great photographer and loves to blog...so once she blogs about her 'epiphany' I'll post a link to it. It was hilarious!

I can hardly wait for the next class next Monday. Of course, since the kids will all be in school, it should be a bit quieter!

Sounds like a fun day. It appears that you might have found some help for creating outfits for your next trip! Looking forward to seeing the blog and the pictures.

LOL I wouldn't count on THAT! She hates everything Disney related and thinks I am completely crazy when it comes time to making customs...they are just clothes...after all!

But, it really was a blast! I love that she wants to spend time with me like that ...and even more so that her husband sits upstairs with the kids (and plays the Wii) while we are down sewing!

Hi Everyone!!

Okay - Billy wants me to get a self threading surger if there is one out there - any ideas? My Singer from Walmart just hasnt been the same since its major injury this fall...I was trying to serge the ruffle to jeans and kaflooey something happens and it gets all unthreaded and wacky????

Here is the outfit I made for Mallory's Big Give it will coordinat with Callie's necklace and a tutu that is being made!!!

I have to admit - I watched a Christmas movie while I was watching it!!! lol - Mallory has gotten me in the mood (although it isnt to hard for me - Im BAD - my tree is still up!!!)

WOW! I love Rudolph! i knew that was the abonomal (sp?) snowman! And I do watch Disney movies often when I am sewing our customs for Disney...puts me in the mood! Any advice for one today? Maybe snow white! And no advice on a self threading serger...but the brother 1034d is color coded and actually really easy to thread...and it is pretty cheap!

Now that Chelsea from the big give has received the dresses I can post them here! She looks SOOO cute in them! I love it!

Your outfits came out great! I love the daisy one...so pretty! And I always love the pink cindy one!

Sounds like you had fun! I have had many people ask me to give sewing lessons, but I don't know where to start. Mostly homeschoolers. Maybe I will have to give it a try!

When we homeschooled...we did a couple of weeks on sewing. We started with how they made clothes in Bible times, how it progressed to today, threw in some math and geometry into the mix, and ended with making a quilt. I had a blast, and my daughter learned a lot...my son was bored after the first few day...but he is learning disabled and there was a lot of reading involved in some of it....

There is a big group of home schoolers at church, and they get together once or twice a week...I might see about teaching a couple classes to them...hadn't thought of that!

So your pros are- the pool slide is fantastic, but there's no food court and the resort is HUGE. You will find you can not walk from your room to the "main building" Conch Flats/Main Pool/etc. There is no room service, but you can get pizza delivery that comes from POFQ. The rooms are the largest on Disney property anywhere and the views are of serene golf course and just so relaxing. When you check in, if you can't be near the main building, ask to be near a bus stop. If you have stayed at CBR, it's bigger than that. Oh, and I can't remember the name of the table service restaurant, but I can tell you the food is great! A well hidden secret.
Oh and if you have little ones, I really love their kiddie pool- it's small and at an easy level for 1,2,3yr olds. You can rent DVDs and all sorts of games near the pool- We loves this-especially on a rainy day when we had a couple movies on hand.
This is my home resort, if you have any questions please feel free to PM me. Oh, and as a non-DVC person you get the perk of daily housekeeping (DVC do not)
Have an awesome time!

Thanks. I'm looking forward to something new. Our all time favorite resort is CBR and my husband would be happy always going there, but I'm going solo this time so I get to choose! I have a week to myself so may spend more time at the resort than I normally do.

I am so sick of snow. We are suppose to get an icestorm tomorrow morning

We're getting snow then ice then snow. School's been canceled. My husband's out of town (out of the country as well) so I get snow blowing duties AGAIN.

Thanks, and will do!


billwendy -- I lost your quote. Its my second machine. I had an old babylock. I made shirts for Madison's Big Give and the machine had me so nervous the whole time (and ate the last shirt with three letters to go) that I didn't trust it. I'm looking forward to playing with 770.

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Kids are home today b/c of an ice storm. Problem is, we leave early Friday morning for Disney and I have sooooo much to do! I work tomorrow and Thursday (I'm off on Mondays and Tuesdays), so I have to get everything done today. Plus the kids are now like.... "oh and I want a shirt with the little aliens from Toy Story, and oh yea, I want..."

Going now to chain myself to the machine!

I'd be paying off older DD to keep the others out of my hair.

 

[ms_mckenna]

These are stunning! The colors and appliques and how it will look on all of your children together will definately stop Disney traffic!

Thank you I was so excited when I found those shirts at Hobby Lobby. I was rethinking the short fabric till I found them lol.

That is what I do too but haven't come across that picture yet!. I will go see you on FB! Thanks!!!

I sent you the message hope you got it.

I have a Noah too All the shirts came out great.

Aww it is great name isn't it? He actually chose it last May right before we adopted him.

Minivanmom posted the squirt I did. The skirt is a storybook panel twirl and then the top is an applique I did. There are not a ton out. Have you thought about contacting someone and requesting a custom?

 

[ms_mckenna]

I finished the little boys Chef Mickey shirts. EE is wearing her minnie dress and Noah is wearing a Goofy shirt but I need to buy a shirt to put the applique on. At least it is prepped and cut and ready to go

Mickey is Ty's his absolute favorite character. Donald is Jacks.

Ooh, so cute! This is the first I've seen Donald, looks great!!!

Froggy - did you see Chelsea in her dresses??? ADORABLE!!!

The Daisy outfit is awesome, the fabric combinations are perfect. I love how you casually mention that you digitized Daisy to go along with the theme. Very impressive. The pink Cindy dress is always my favorite, the little bird looks cute.

Thanks for all the comments everyone! Chelsea does look adorable!!! I had tears in my eyes!! It's so nice to see how much the kids appreciate it!

For Daisy, I used all those fabrics to make my girlfriend baby bedding. It turned out so cute and I thought it would be a great combo for AK! But we don't have any trips coming up. So instead I used it for the give! I've recently started digitizing and am getting faster and faster. Daisy took just an evening! I was so happy how she turned out!

Thanks again!!

Don't you know it! I am bribing her with a mini-pedicure. She wants Mickey heads on her big toes for the trip.

Thanks for the picture! He is all cut out and just needs to be attached to the tshirt.

These shirts are awesome! I love how big you do the designs. Stunning!!!!

 

[cogero]

okay just ordered the fabric I wanted for Khelsey's give.

Nini - thank you for that fabric.com coupon the other day it saved me some money.

I am excited about the outfits I am doing. I came up with an idea after seeing something on Etsy hope it works as good as I think it will.

 

[vester]

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?

This is such a cute idea! Did you just iron it on? Does anyone think that if I did something like that in fabric that I could satin stitch around it or is it too small? It will be my first attempt at satin stitch on a t-shirt so any advice would be AWEOMSE. Thanks!

[TinkerbelleMom]

I'm trying to help a friend with her grandmother's old Kenmore sewing machine...I can find a parts list online, but not an owners manual. I can't even see where to turn on the darn thing! I figured out how to wind the bobbin, but she has already messed with the bobbin assembly, and it's in pieces. Does anyone have any suggestions where to look online for help? My thought is just to turn it over to the guy at the sewing store who fixes all my stuff, but she wants to sew NOW. LOL


TIA!
