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

[Diz-Mommy]

Haven't done any clothing sewing recently but I did make 3 wallets. Mickey for Andrew, Princess and the Frog for Melissa and Minnie for me! Talked my two biggest boys into letting me make them 'man wallets' out of Disney fabrics for our trip too. Got those cut out today.

Now.........please solve my mystery......what is this foot for???!!!

Those wallets are very cool!! And, I'm probably way late answering, but that's a ruffler foot. I love mine!!

Are you ready to be bombarded with pics!

First the tink feliz...she requested no ruffles. I made an elongated peasant top to match.

Next up is Snow White. Also, an elongated peasant top to match. She had fun twirling!

Mickey simply sweet top with pants that I added some fabric to.

Lion King Vida...I don't know about the shirt...SHould I do the dark blue or light blue?

Patchwork twirl. This is an old dress that I repurposed. I replaced the bodice and added the hem on the bottom...210 inches of hem!:scared1:

Here is the original patchwork twirl from august 2008!

And last but not least...the bambi simply sweet...made a peasant top again! Love that easy pattern!

Love your creations!! Can't pick a favorite!

Finished Lilo today for EE. Tried to be simple

She's gonna make Lilo jealous, because she's soooooooo much cute-er

All right, I'm done sewing everything I had planned on sewing for the trip! As I was laying out all of the outfits, I noticed that Sawyer's wardrobe is pretty pitiful. Most everything has been worn many times. He only has one new outfit. But, he won't care, so I'll try not to care either. Here are some pics:

For DHS:

For MK:

I cut holes in Tessa's jeans and then put the appliques behind them. I washed the pants, so the holes are a little more frayed and look cooler than when I took this picture.

I knew you'd end up making some cool stuff!! Have a fun trip!

So as I mentioned last week I attempted to do my second attempt at Easy Fit pants for DS3

Very CUTE!! I've got myself some Thomas boys too.

Ok what I did today.... first I learned my daughter wears a 2 not a 3 and not to ever doubt that lol. The dress is huge I had just enough fabric left to make a sash though so she is wearing that. I would have remade the dress smaller if I would have had the fabric. I was sad the whole time I was cutting it how pathetic is that?

SO CUTE!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I finished Hannah's Valentines outfit today!

And am half done Tim's - thank to those who helped me out!

Elizabeth has decided that she doesnt like the feel of jeans, so I got her a pair of Jeggins and the same tshirt as Hannah.

For those who have been praying for Bob, Thank you so much. He feels it is the power of prayer that is helping him heal so quickly. On Sunday he leaves for his first trip since the surgery as he is teaching at Frontier School of the Bible in Wyoming for the week! Pray it goes well as he gets back into the swing of things!!

Very cool!!

Here is what I have been working on this week...
a Beauty and the Beast Vida

Thanks for looking!

Lovely!! You always take your creations to the 100th level, wowza!


Can someone explain or show me pictures in comparison of both a Vida vs. Feliz? I always get the two confused...and I'm wondering if Annabella will be too small for both this trip since she'll probably only be in a 12/18 month size????

This Beauty and the Beast is the Vida....and here is the last Feliz I did:

The ruffles on the backs are optional on both...maybe thats why its confusing. Some people put them and some don't.

The feliz consists of an overdress and an underdress. The overdress is open in the back, thus showing off the optional ruffles which if used are added to the back of the underdress.

The vida is a single layer and the optional ruffles can be added to the back panel.

Either can be made with ruffles or hems at the bottom, and with addiitonal embellishments as desired.

Here is the feliz: (the underdress of this one is barely showing from the front, it has the red polka dot ruffle barely showing)

and the back side of the feliz w/ruffles:

And here is a vida:

and the backside of the vida w/ruffles:

ETA: Forgot to say that I don't think the patterns go that small, but I have seen someone make the vida as a dolly dress, so you could probably alter it by shrinking it on a copier.

Anita!!! wow- oh - wow! I aspire to someday be as talented as you are, I am in awe of your work! this is just another example of your awesomeness

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments. Not too exciting sewing for an 11yo and 9yo but it is what it is! Glad I still have DD4 to sew for (who by the way, leaves next Thursday for her big trip with my parents. I am making a Jessie outfit for Hoop Dee Doo and an Animal Kingdom Vida.)

Ok my DD is 9. She loves all the different things you all make and she wants something special for our upcoming trip. My sister has agreed to make her something but we are not sure what to make her. Do any of you have any suggestions for a little girl who just turned 9, that loves her Dis trips. She just doesn't want to look like a baby. Basically she wants to look hip but still with Disney.

Any suggestions.

BTW yall amaze me, I wish I was 1/4 a talented as you all with sewing. Hats off to each of you!!!

Maybe you saw what I made for my 11yo (6th grader). Mostly embroidered tshirts and matching skirts. She wouldn't be caught dead in anything Princessy.

All right, I'm done sewing everything I had planned on sewing for the trip! As I was laying out all of the outfits, I noticed that Sawyer's wardrobe is pretty pitiful. Most everything has been worn many times. He only has one new outfit. But, he won't care, so I'll try not to care either. Here are some pics:

These are to die for! Awesome!!!

Ok what I did today.... first I learned my daughter wears a 2 not a 3 and not to ever doubt that lol. The dress is huge I had just enough fabric left to make a sash though so she is wearing that. I would have remade the dress smaller if I would have had the fabric. I was sad the whole time I was cutting it how pathetic is that?

DD4 is 22 inches around the chest which would make her a size 3 according to Carla. I cut the size 5 and then have her try it on before I attach the skirt. Definitely end up making some adjustments every time. I really like the halter style because it fits so much tighter to their torso with the elastic in the back. Just a cuter look to me. I think she looks a little frumpy if the bodice is too boxy.

Anyway, your DD still looks super cute to me!

That would be a very long day!!! Brazillian teenage tour groups? Did they say why they are all there?

Apparently they are at the parks around this time every year. This is their summer break. A neighbor who coincidentally was in Disney the same time as us, happens to be Brazilian. She said it is a right of passage and just about every Brazilian family saves for their child's trip to Disney and sends them off on these groups. NO PARENTS!!! There were also a lot of Brazilian families with smaller children. She loved talking to the groups and families. She was also able to find out what parks they would be in and when so we were able to avoid the really big groups to some extent.

Gorgeous!

In my humble opinion... I think the Feliz is too much dress for a baby. The Vida would be perfect. I almost think the Feliz, since I make it with so many ruffles is a bit much for my 4yo! So much dress!!! It is cute though. You could even make the vida as more of a tunic top for her and pair it with a pair of leggings. That would be adorable.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

One more outfit down for our trip. This is for HS. Sorry again for the crappy pics, I never seem to have my camera and memory card in the same place!

Jeans front:

Jeans back:

Jason loves them! Just have to get the rest of Alison's skirt sewn and one tshirt for DH embroidered and then we're all set!

Wow, what great outfits. The jeans are just great, was it hard to do?

And the back .

Tink is just the best, that is a great dress and you did wonderful work. The poof is great!!!

Here are the pathetic photos I have of the kids in some of the stuff I made. We were so covered up most of the time, I didn't do a great job taking pictures of their clothes.

not that you can even see it, but she is wearing a Minnie twirl skirt!

Thanks for looking!

I just love the skirt! DS loves the shark the best and I have to agree.

I finished Hannah's Valentines outfit today!

And am half done Tim's - thank to those who helped me out!

Elizabeth has decided that she doesnt like the feel of jeans, so I got her a pair of Jeggins and the same tshirt as Hannah.

For those who have been praying for Bob, Thank you so much. He feels it is the power of prayer that is helping him heal so quickly. On Sunday he leaves for his first trip since the surgery as he is teaching at Frontier School of the Bible in Wyoming for the week! Pray it goes well as he gets back into the swing of things!!

I am so glad Bob is doing better. Where is the Frontier school? It must be east because I have never heard of it out here. He is welcome to stop in for a visit. The outfit is amazing Wendy, you do such nice work.

I would like to add that everyone on this board has been such an inspiration to me! I am slowly learning to sew and applique and your creativity just keeps me going, so thank you to all who contribute to this board and thanks for always being so kind to us newbies who often have repetitive questions. I believe many of us are self teaching as we go and you all are the reason we are learning and acquiring new skills. that makes you all the BESTEST OF THE BEST in my books!

OK, there is way TMTQ so I'm stealing babynala's quote and would just like to say DITTO

mommyof2princesses -- for the LK I like the light blue shirt better

heathersue -- WOW! WOW! and WOW!!!! Love those appliques. I am not at all a Star Wars fan but I do have to say I've never seen better SWs outfits. Your kids must be very proud to have you as their Mom!

1308 miles -- I agree with everyone else and think some black ric-rac would look great.

ellenbenny-- I don't recall seeing pics of that Feliz before -- LOVE IT!

Welcome to all the new posters!!!!

And I don't know how all of you are getting so much accomplished -- I just don't have time. I barely work at all but it seems like I never have time for sewing. I'm currently working on a skirt with Valentine's fabric I bought last year and I fear the new fabric I bought this year won't get used until next year!

 

[Granna4679]

and love the beauty and the beast dress....wow...you guys are good!!!!!

That dress is simply fabulous. I am totally in love with the colors.

This is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! My middle dd is an "enchanted knife" in Beauty and the Beast at a local theater. I would love to make something for the baby but I need something on a much smaller scale. If she was bigger this would be perfect.

Lovely!! You always take your creations to the 100th level, wowza!

This has to be one of my all time favorites. Just lovely!!!

I love that dress, Toy story is the best and the colours work.

i actually just drooled over this

Anita!!! wow- oh - wow! I aspire to someday be as talented as you are, I am in awe of your work! this is just another example of your awesomeness

Gorgeous!

OMG, that is an amazing dress!

Anita - Your Beauty and Beast Vida is gorgeous.

Thanks everyone for the super sweet comments...ya'll are so encouraging and sweet!

And even if you have heard it before, you just might learn something new anyway!

After 8 days of car and brain trauma I am finally sewing again. I am making 3 patchwork twirl skirts for our upcoming trip. I am using the strip tube quilt making method for the skirts so it is going quick.

It feels great to get back to doing something I know.

I finally got State Farm on the line and my car is now officially totaled. They did give me full retail value, cost of new tires, tax and plate. It was straight up fair.

Now to get my head back to better and perhaps life can settle down.

 

[ireland_nicole]

quick drive by- I love everything, honest- especially the B&B dress-WOW!

I fixed the mermaid problem, but my pics are terrible so I won't show it

Re: Vida/Feliz for 12-18mo size:

I have made a Vida for a baby that size; here's what I did- I made the 2y/o size but did not add seam allowance; I used knots in the straps instead of buttons and I made the elastic a little tighter under the arms. It seemed to work well. HIH.

April- glad you're feeling better- I've been praying for you; make sure you get enough rest.
