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

[miprender]

I asked last week for ideas for a LegoLand outfit for Lauren DD5. This is what I came up with:
the girl is an applique I did by hand, the bricks at the bottom are a machine design.

This is for the little one to match her big sister:

Great job appliqueing by hand. And YEAH for DH fixing your machine.

Hi ladies!

It's been SO long since I last posted....but I've been lurking and LOVE the new outfits posted (obviously WTMTQ!) I'm still trying to shake off that post-Disney funk...it's taking longer than I thought! What better way to keep the Dis love alive than by making customs, right? Here are a few new creations:

Jessie-inspired Toy Story dress

Alice in Wonderland-inspired outfit (it's hard to see the white bloomers with the black ruffle trim...)

I actually have a few QUESTIONS, if you don't mind:

1. After a great deal of nagging from my friends, I finally agreed to open an etsy shop. In 5 days, I've made two sales (and I'm not even related to these customers!!) I posted this hat:

Great job and congrats on opening up your etsy store.

Thank you all for the Spongebob compliments!!! Shhhhhh . . . I do not like Spongebob. It's 3 against 1 in this house and my DH is the ringleader! This set was so much fun because the lady who asked me to make gave me the green light to do whatever. It was a lot of fun!

I was able to finish one more thing today. It's my 2011 version of Steamboat Willie.

I hope you don't mind I might have to CASE this for my daughter. I love Steamboat Willie.

And I don't like SpongeBob. And I can't stand that Fish Hooks show either. Maybe I secretly just don't like fish

I am happy I actually made this in a few hours today. Got my serger to somewhat cooperate with me and made the gathering a lot easier so I just wanted to share.
Now its on to the Vida and stuff for Disney!!
Front

This dress makes me want SUMMER now.

Finisned up a little Alice themed Audrey skirt and shirt this week.

This is perfect for 1900PF breakfast.

Here are the items that I did for January's Give

I was so nervous about fit but she looks adorable in the pictures.

Great job. What pattern did you use for the skirt?
And I know it has been said before but how do you have the energy for all these gives.

Love!!!! I really love the tea cup fabric. That is fantastic!

Whoohoo! I've earned enough money to get my embroidery machine. For those of you that have the brother PE 770, what are my start up cost, besides the machine itself? Thread and stabalizer? Is there an online source I should be using or just a basic fabric store.

TIA for your help! Now that I have the go ahead, I am a nervous wreck!!!

You do need a few things- stabilizer, thread, bobbin thread and spray adhesive.

Stabilizer- It's best to try a few kinds out to figure what works for you best. I personally like the sticky back. Others swear by the pin on.

Thread- Embroidery Thread has a nice shine to it. I use Coats and Clark. Normally I stock up when it's on sale at Jo Ann's.

Bobbin Thread- This is a must. Again, I use Coats and Clark. Brother suggests you use Brother brand but I like the C&C just fine.

Spray Adhesive. This helps hold your fabric in place during the tack down stitches. I use Dritz Spray Adhesive. It comes in a yellow can.

When I bought my machine I remember spending about $100 at Jo Ann's. I think I spent most of my $$ on stabilizers. Even though I have had a roll of iron on stabilizer in my drawer for two years I am happy I did so. It was great to figure out what worked for me.

Thanks. I saw it in a book and wanted to try it. I don't love it, but now that I've done one, I'm curious to try another in a different fabric with a few modifications. (Maybe it's because I'm putting off the stripwork jumper I finally printed or the bowling shirt that I actually bought fabric for.)

I have no idea what you are talking about Buying more and more patterns than you have time to make....what is that I have so many patterns that I haven't used yet and I just ordered 4 more-hehe!!!!

And just because, here are some up-cycle knit dresses I made recently using Carla's raglan pattern and just a regular sewing machine:

The Lego Outfit is adorable and the upcycles are great! I am going to have to try one of those one of these days

This is sooo cute, I love the color combo on the skirt...I'm not a Sponge Bob fan either, but this is soooo adorable!!!!

Oh I forgot something...

remember this -

Dh was able to fix it! The dealer quoted $500 to fix it, Dh was able to fix it with a $5.00 tube of some super glue welding stuff. :

Got to love that!!!!

Hi ladies!

Jessie-inspired Toy Story dress

Alice in Wonderland-inspired outfit (it's hard to see the white bloomers with the black ruffle trim...)

I actually have a few QUESTIONS, if you don't mind:

2. How difficult is CarlaC's Precious dress? I just LOVELOVELOVE it and I'm terrified of it. It looks so difficult and I'm afraid of buttonholes. Can someone talk me into this?

Thanks for any advice/help you can provide!!

These are both great!!! I did one Precious Dress for our last trip, it is alot more involved that her other patterns that I have done, but it is doable. I don't like buttonholes, so I put snaps in the back instead

Thank you all for the Spongebob compliments!!!

Now its on to the Vida and stuff for Disney!!
Twirl

Lovely, Got to love that twirl factor!

I've been lurking for a while looking at these wonderful goodies. Ya'll are very talented!

Now here's a question for you - what about tweens and teens? I've made tie dyed mickey head tees for every Disney trip we've ever taken, but I thought it would be fun to do something different. I have an old embroidery machine (viking rose) so I can't do all the fun appliques, but I can do plain old machine applique and all that. Any ideas, links, photos, or whatnot? I've a teen boy and tween girl.

Thanks!

Love everything that's been posted! When I have kids I'll have such great inspiration! Hopefully my skills will have improved enough by then that I can actually make stuff like you all do!

Here's a teeny backpack that I made for a Give:

OT question:


I'm going to visit a friend and her new baby for the first time this weekend. It's her 3rd girl (sisters are 5.5 and just turned 3). What kind of gift should I bring? Clothes? A taggie of some kind?? I'm sure she has tons of both already but I don't want to show up empty-handed since she's feeding me dinner!! Thanks!!

Love it. I was going to get some of the tea pot fabric for an Apron for my mom. It works perfect for Alice.

Cute backpack. And maybe a taggie would be good, homemade is always appreciated more around here, even if it is the 3rd child.

I've been lurking for a few weeks and I thought I would say, There is some beautiful stuff in this place!! I'm sooo inspired! I've been sewing on and off for a while, but now I want to try more

I thought that I would share...I ran to Hancock's today, so I could help keep them in business and found some great deals! They were having a "spring cleaning" sale, so lots of different fabrics at $1, $2, $3, and $5 a yard!!

Thanks for sharing all your wonderful creations!!

Hey Teach! Make sure you get your posts in so we can see your creations.

I was wondering if someone with Stitch Era could help me out?! Pretty please?!

I made my DH a superman pillowcase for his birthday. I was hoping someone could digitize:

DREW
My Superman​

for me in a nice manly font to put on the cuff of the pillowcase which is about 4" wide. I have a 5x7 hoop and would need it in PES format. I am still learning how to use stitch era so I don't really trust myself yet and don't want to mess it up.

Just let me know! Thanks SO SO much!

Are you familiar with YahooGroups? SEU has a group there, It might make sense to me after I give the program a try.

I'm TTTQ (too tired to quote) ~ I've had a depressing day. Our kitty with renal failure decided to stop eating two days ago so I had to make the decision to say goodbye to her this morning. DH was going to take her in, but he just so happens to be out of town until Saturday and I couldn't make her suffer that long. She was only five years old. Thankfully we still have her sister and a 16 year old orange tabby who is healthy (and of course the dogs).


I've seen some really nice things posted today

I did have to quote you b/c this is too cute and I LOVE the fabric. It's so bright and cheerful.

I would not bring clothes as a gift. I received way too many clothes for my kids (especially my dd) that they didn't even get to wear everything we received. I highly recommend making burp cloths. I could never have enough burp cloths. I love the flannel raggy burp cloths and I've also made many with ribbons and quilt binding on cloth diapers. Burp cloths are so easy to make as well. Bibs is another gift that is something you probably can't have too many of, though I've never made bibs so don't know how hard they are to do. Burps cloths can be whipped out very quickly, so if you need something by the weekend that's what I would recommend.

Love that backpack! Love the fabric. What pattern did you use for it?

How about crayon rollups for the older girls? Something to keep them busy when Mom is busy with the baby?

[Eyore4Ever149]

Chiara- Adorable- really nice, I know the Give Child will surely be thrilled!!!

Snubie/Stacey- Lego so cute!!!

Granna/Anita- LOVE the Alice themed outfit

Cute pink hat! To whoever made it!

Amieg- I like the Steamboat Willie- but I still love the feliz version you do beautiful work.

 

[Granna4679]

That is ABSOLUTELY adorable!

Beautiful as always Anita!

Anita you are my sewing/applique super hero! you (and MANY others on here) inspire me to become better each day, and someday I hope to be as good as you!!!

This is perfect for 1900PF breakfast.

Another lovely creation!!!!

Thanks girls!! I was sceptical about putting the Mad Hatter on all the tcups but it turned out better than I expected.

tmh0206 - You made my day!!! You are so sweet!

Aimee- I LOVE that Steamboat Willie!! That is super cute.
And I love your spongebob outfit too but I can't stand Spongebob!

Castlecreations - your dresses are just out of this world. My hubby would love the flame one on the bottom especially if I made it with some sort of car applique. What a cute idea. (and no...he is not a Bieber fan).

Your work is fabulous. I love the green rockstar outfit.

This is the Boardwalk pattern from YCMT. It was pretty easy though I know how I would do it different the next time to make it easier.
