Disboutiquers Part 24 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[jessica52877]

I didn't describe that correctly....we have several pairs of the crocs with the Mickey head cut outs, but have you seen the new ones with the Mickey heads printed all around the bottom of the croc? Those are the ones I'm trying to resist!!



I love that matching hat. I might have to make a few of those to "jazz up" the shorts/bowling shirts outfits.



When I first read your post I thought maybe you were good enough to look at the pattern on the computer and make the stuff without printing out a pattern! I was pretty sure that was beyond me!!

Would you post pics of the front and back of the bowling shirt when you get it done? I have an idea of how I want to use the fabrics I got to make the shirts, but would love to see yours!

I forgot about those new crocs! They are so cute! I have to wait until they come down in price! I will say that they seem to fit my son forever because the way they are sized!

You mean you have been holding out on me all this time? I have 1 fabric place and it is questionable at best. You never told me you were so close to so many fabric stores-like I needed a reason to vist huh? LOL

I wouldn't use the word close, the closest is 45 minutes in the middle of the weekday but if you are willing to drive 45-60 minutes in several different directions you could probably hit 4 Joann's, 3 Hancock's (they usually take a little over an hour and no where near where I ever go) and 2 Hobby Lobby! The other night we went to Joann's, 50 minutes to the first, 35 from that to the 2nd and another 45 home and all I got was a yard of pink minnie. They had NOTHING!! NO dots! ANYWHERE!!

We have a fabricland. The selection is terrible. I miss JoAnn's

Isn't it the worst? I'm lucky enough to have a fabric store within walking distance but it's a Fabricland. I don't drive so other than a long bus ride it's my only option. I go there and just wander around trying to find anything that works for what I'm doing. I've totally given up on getting Disney fabrics for Gives.

You should have headed south I buy dots by the bolt LOL. I am about 30 minutes to the closet(tiny) Joann's. On the weekend in tourist traffic, 45-60 minutes. (It is actually faster to go the other way and head to my old Joann's.And there is also a wonderful quilt fabric shop not far from there too).(Sigh)

Gosh, EVERYTHING is so beautiful I don't even know where to begin. I'm always in such AWE of everything you guys make!!!

The Mickey trim on that rosetta bag is just about one of the most cutest things I've ever seen.

I need to make one of the color books for my 2 year old but mine would probably turn out upside down and wrong side out. Thanks so much for posting the tut!

I need to stop being so cheap and get the Vida pattern... everything everyone makes with it looks absolutely stunning!

I'm headed out of town for a much needed relaxing trip and we won't have internet so I'm kind of sad I'm not going to be able to see the pixie dust I sent January and Hannah until the weekend. I'm going to have a lot of catching up to do when I get back!

I can't wait to see what you geniuses have come up with next.

Y'all enjoy your week!!

Have a GREAT rest!!!!!! We'll miss ya!!!

Here is the only picture I can find right now an outfit.

Not a good picture at all! He was at the beach watching a movie and in a trance with red eyes on top of it! LOL! This was probably 2 years after I originally made it, it was big to begin with.

I tend to do my printing at work

My goal is to try 2 new patterns this week. the Bowling shirt being one

Love seeing pictures of Dallas!!!

I'm not ready to tackle applique, so bowling shirts and easy fit shorts may be my answer for now.



Love the matching crocs! I'm trying to resist getting the Mickey head crocs for the trip....



Ok...remember I'm a beginner....what's the deal with computer patterns? The only thing I've ever done is buy a pattern from the store, but computer patterns seem like they would be nice since you could print different sizes. If you only have a regular printer, do you just print it in pieces and tape it together?

Its so much easier in my mind to print out the pieces - i HATE that tissue paper of regular patterns!! And Carla practically gives you a lesson along with the pattern!!!

Embroidery is really fun (most of the time) - I think if you can sew a bowling shirt, embroidery/applique would be easy peasy!!!!!!

You must have matching crocs for every outfit! LOL! We do have I think 4 pair of mickey's and 2 others. It is a pain to decide which one or two to take on vacation with us

I don't tend to make them for older boys either, although I have seen some that ended up looking cute. Dallas was 6 in that picture and I think that is the only time he wore them all year. I think I cut him off at 5! Although I honestly thought they looked okay. They still fit (gotta love easy fits for that reason).

I love Carla C's patterns. It really is a sewing lesson in the pattern. They are $10 but I think Wendy said it a while back, it is like paying for a sewing lesson that is so worth it. My last one I had to put a zipper in and it was done in less then 5 minutes without any issues!

Tim's Mickey crocs are BALD on the bottom!!!!! lol..he loves them so much - has the red ones....Hey if Dallas is done with that outfit, he can adopt Tim as his little brother -he'd LOVE Wally shorts. Tim loves his easy fit shorts - he is 6, just lost his first front tooth!! Im so not ready for him to be a big boy!!!!!

Gosh, I think I just said that again!! lol...I love CARLA C!!!!!!

as usual! I was on vac for a week - two weeks ago- and finally am caught up. I am afraid to get many pages behind or I can't catch up, but I was just too tired to read while on vacation!

 

[cogero]

Came home from dance and cut out a new to me dress pattern for DD. I have it cut and am going to start sewing tomorrow. I love the fabrics I chose for this.

I have 2 projects for my kids that I want to work on this week and this is one of them.

Where is the best place to sell fabric that I decided I can part with? None of it is Disney. Mostly odds and ends, some kids prints, some holidays, some back to school. I don't know if I should use ebay or etsy. I have only listed a princess pattern on etsy and it never sold. I do regularly sell on ebay, just never sold any fabric. Any other suggestions?
Thanks for the advice.

I am amazed at what you all come up with! Beautiful work!! I am a serious novice when it comes to sewing, but am working my way up. I just came home with a bag full of fabric to work on some cute outfits for my niece's to wear on our family trip this summer.

However, I have to know if any of you have BOYS! I have 2 sons -- ages 2 & 4. I also have 2 nephews that will be with us this summer. I bought Buzz Lightyear & Winnie the Pooh fabric, but am not sure what I'm going to make for them yet. (We are having breakfast at CP, thus the Pooh fabric.) When DS-#1 was 9 months old we took him to WDW for the first time and he had romper-style outfits to coordinate with each of the parks. Safari animal print for AK, Mickey/Goofy/Donald surfing for EPCOT, red Mickey heads print for MK, and Star Wars print for DHS. He even had an airplane romper for the trip out there! Now that the boys have passed the romper stage, I can't really find anything I like. Suggestions?

My son was five on our last trip. I did a combo of easy-fit shorts, appliqued tees and bowling shirts for him to coordinate with his sister.

My daughter designed this set. I think she did a pretty good job.

Beautiful! I have been looking all over for Tangled fabric, I can't even find it online!

Here is the back of the dress only to show the skirt fabric:

The Daisy dress is just too cute! So is the Donald t-shirt, I can't believe you appliqued those by hand!

I mentioned this on the BG board but I love the jewelry!

 

[erikawolf2004]

It is a MOD KIDS pattern KYOKO (a "K" not a "T") -- I found it on this site though you may be able to find it elsewhere (I do not own it but am contemplating trying it):
http://www.baltazor.com/modkids.html

Oh -- here's a better picture:
http://modkidboutique.com/Kyoko.html

Thank you so much for correcting my 2 mistakes, I didn't actually look at the pattern when I posted what it was called

 

[erikawolf2004]

Thanks so much for the bigger photo -- I couldn't see the prints and patterns well on the small one (maybe it's my old eyes). I love how the boys are all in jeans and the girls all have boots on. Glad you had help cutting -- that's the worst part! That's an awesome photo and what a fabulous job you did. That teacher owes you!


I love that pattern too. I will have to show it to my dd. And I saw the parasol fabric at Joann's just the other day ~ may have been a knock off, but it was really cute and would work.

The teacher and class where sooo excited about the outfits and the kids looked great and did a great performance Post pictures when you make yours.

I just got mine too...and once I can learn how to attach and gather at the same time w/o breaking the thread I will be a happy camper. I keep messing with the tension and it still doesnt love me with the ruffles and Im losing more fabric than Im keeping
The outfits are great!!

I haven't tried gathering with it, not sure if it does that or not...now you have me wondering????

Thank you. I guess it is no longer available. I googled Moda Kyoto pattern and I am getting nothing but fabrics. I messaged RubberDucky Ranch about her Star Wars outfit. that is the pattern that stuck in my mind and your pic reminded me of it. For good reason huh? LOL Thanks again.

SOOOOO sorry I made a mistake on the name and maker....I didn't double check the info before posting and I have been doing family stuff with family from out of town all day. I just ordered some MODA Fabric, so Moda was on the brain So glad some others where able to catch my mistake and help you out!!!!

For my boys (4 and 3) I do easy fit pants and appliqued tees. They always match one another because otherwise they'll argue over who wears what I have yet to try the bowling shirt pattern. One of these days I'll give it a go ! We went to WDW in January and I did shirts with Lightning McQueen, Heffalump (Lumpy from Pooh), Stitch, Ice Cream Mickey, Phineas and Ferb, Star Wars Mickey and Prince Charming Mickey shirts. I used a lot of Disney Fabric to make them easy fit pants to go with their tops.


I finally finished my first Vida! Yay! That was the first time I'd put buttons and button holes on with my machine. WOW! was that easy or what!! I am already planning on making more!

Peanut and Monkey received their Big Give outfits. For Peanut I made a Portrait Peasant Daisy Dress (sadly her bill is messed up and I already had to undo it once because my bobbin thread was acting up so was afraid to undo it again and really mess up the fabric). For Monkey I made a coordinating Donald T-

Here is the back of the dress only to show the skirt fabric:

Here is a close up of Donald because I did this on a knit t-shirt -- woo hoo!!!
(OK, I did most of it on cotton first but the entire border was done on the knit):

And I made bracelets for Mom and Peanut -- I made some to coordinate with the outfits I made and then standard Mickey ones:

Poor Peanut is still in the hospital and not doing well. I'm sure her mom would love some support and well wishes on the PTR:

These turned out so cute! I am a HUGE Donald fan - and I just love this set so much!

I would think that Ebay would be better. But to be honest - I look at Etsy for fabric first... I just really like dealing with people on Etsy better, it just seems like they are so much nicer.

My son was five on our last trip. I did a combo of easy-fit shorts, appliqued tees and bowling shirts for him to coordinate with his sister.

I especially love the appliques on this shirt! Do you have a pic of the front of it? It is just adorable!

My daughter designed this set. I think she did a pretty good job.

Your dd did a great job designing that set! I always love to look at everything you make - you do such an amazing job!

Ask your dd if she has any ideas for what my dds should wear to a wedding in the Netherlands??? LOL I am really struggling with this... can't do Disney for this one though.

OK...I have been meaning to ask you and keep forgetting (has something to do with I'm so busy salivating over your creations I keep forgetting to ask!)

Where did you find the cute dress form...and what size is it? I have been looking everywhere and the ones I find aren't so cute! I did find one at Joanne's, but it needs to have some of the decoration taken off...and hubby said he didn't think it would come off easily...

We are taking our daughter for the first time when we go down in September but from the dresses I've seen that are sold at the parks, I don't like any of them. I want her to have a dress that looks like it has a petticoat underneath it and poofy, more princessy like a ball gown I guess. Does anyone know where I can find a dress like that? I've considered making one myself for her but I don't know if I'm THAT talented, I make her other dresses but it might be a bit harder to make such a dress. I really love the limited edition dresses disney comes out with that sell for around $150 and they only make 2000 of them but I can't anymore anywhere, obviously. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

My son was five on our last trip. I did a combo of easy-fit shorts, appliqued tees and bowling shirts for him to coordinate with his sister.

These are so cute! I love that Mickey shirt!

Y'all are tempting me to try an applique shirt. I have soem jungle print fabric with big pictures of a zebra, cheetah, tiger, and giraffe. I could cut out a Mickey head with one animal in the center of each and maybe applique it to a shirt. When you applique, do you use some of the iron-on stuff to fix it to the shirt and then just do a satin stitch (is that the right name?) to sew it on? Any tips or tricks to add?
