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

[jessica52877]

Hi! This is my first post here ... everyone just has AMAZING stuff!!!!

I used to sew quite a bit in middle school (yup, twenty something years ago) and when my older DS was born I made him a few things b/c he was so tiny ...

But I haven't done a whole lot of sewing lately (although I did make us all Star Wars Costumes for DS#1's birthday party this year

Okay... so I have a very old Singer (as in it was my Great-Aunt's machine when my mom was a teenager and Mom is now 30 years or so past 30 )... it does some embroidery using cams but I've never tried to do any ...

We're going to WDW in November and I really want to make some things for us... My older DS's best friend is ambergreenawalt 's DS (He had a MAW trip when they were 3 and they recently returned to the World this past January) ... Anyway, my guy thinks that Disney trips mean coordinating outfits for the family, etc. and I don't want to let him down ... He asks to look at Seb's Disney pics all the time and ALWAYS comments on their "cool outfits" . . . I'm just having trouble figuring out things to make without having an embroidery machine.
Especially when my DH isn't too keen on the whole "coordinating outfits" thing and my parents think I'm NUTS So there's a good chance it'd be me and my two boys on our own in that department ...
Can anyone point me in the right direction for ideas? I'm lucky to live in Charlotte, NC where I have MaryJo's Cloth Shop in Gastonia and a great Walmart that still carries LOTS of Disney fabric ...

Everyone's stuff is just gorgeous and makes me wish I had a little girl!!!

Oh, how I love Mary Jo's! I only get to go when we drive through on vacation to somewhere north, which we don't do often!

Sebastian is such a cutie and Amber went all out this year!! You have a while so check the first page for Heathersue's tutorial on hand applique. I am sure you can knock out some mickey heads doing that!

We all love Carla C's patterns on youcanmakethis.com . It is like a sewing lesson along with the patterns! Best $10 you'll ever spend!!! You can make shorts from the easy fit pants!

Opps! Belle did not show up.

Wow....I leave my computer for the weekend and come back and I am 20 pages behind.

I have read/looked through all of them and everything is just beautiful.

I really love the little "boy" easter outfits, the tiny little shoes, the Big Give Items, and everything else.

Aimee - your Star Wars outfit is beautiful (love the midnight blue and yellow combo).

My daughters and I hosted a lingerie shower this weekend. The couple is getting married at one of the huge resorts on Galveston Island in their outside gazebo this summer so we went with a beach theme for the whole shower. We did a full lunch table (with a ton of food which included crab cakes, crab dip and some chicken of the sea...aka chicken salad sandwiches)
We also did a cake/cookie/punch table. We decorated almost all of my living room, dining room, and breakfast room with beach items (fish, starfish, sand dollars, and candle holders with sand and shells in them). We got a lot of compliments on the decorations. Everything was aqua, peach and sand colored satin.

My youngest daughter and I decorated the cake. I know this isn't sewing related but it is the only creative thing I have to show for the weekend.

In addition to lingerie, I also made the couple tshirts for their Disneyworld honeymoon.

And I know I posted these dresses a couple weeks ago, but I had to show them off in action. I made them for my DGDs to wear to the Butterfly Festival @ their church this weekend. It was a beautiful day and since their mom was involved in doing so many activities for the festival and different booths, I had the fun part of following them around and keeping them out of trouble. It was a great time (well, until the end of the day...see more below).

Now for the bad news...I had to park across the street from the church in a school parking lot. When I left at the end, I backed into a car and scratched my bumper pretty badly and put a dent in the other persons car. I tried to be honest, went back to the church and asked around (even asked the people in charge at the church) if they knew who it belonged to. No one knew so after leaving the information with the church office, went back to the school to leave the info on the car and it was gone. I felt so bad but I tried. Hopefully, they will contact the church, but if it were me, I would never think to do that.

All in all, a very busy but fun weekend.

I have a couple of projects to share now that I know packages have arrived at their Big Give destinations:

A set of outfits for Epcot (for a family from Canada):
A reversible a-line:

And a bowling shirt for the brother:

For a different family, I made a set of matching dresses for AK:

And for my recent trip to DL, I decided to make a jewellery roll to transport my Mickey bling:

By the way, we had a great time at DL. Thanks to everyone who helped me when I was planning the trip. We can't wait to go back!

Thanks for looking at my creations!

I love everything! And I know this is weird - but I love that Mickey head button... where did you find that?

Purple Ears- Great job on the Big Give dresses. I really like the Aline dress. It's so neat and clean. I love the bling bling roll up too.

I finished a few more things this weekend. . .

I totally love that cake and cake topper! The t-shirts are so cute and the GD are adorable! Sorry aboutt he little accident, hopefully the people will contact the church - they might not have noticed it right away.

I love all of your clothing. It's neat that you used the Canadian fabric. I finally printed the striped jumper pattern from CarlaC, but when I saw how much fabric it takes I decided to wait until there's a Give I can use it for, and not just make a prototype (that's what I tend to do).

Everyone needs Mickey bling!

Wow! I didn't comment on the Smurf a few pages back, but I really liked that one too. Smurfs have a soft spot in my heart.

The shower sounds like a lot of fun.

The cake topper made me laugh and I really like the bride and groom t-shirts.

The butterfly dresses look so cheerful, as do the girls!

I love, love, love, the black and pink skirt. Did you use a pattern? Or can you share how to make one of those? It is just too cute!!!

I have made a few things over the last few days. I just need to take pics. I also made the wrap dress for the first time. I love how fast and easy that pattern is!!!!

I have a question. My daughter wants a skirt with one of those 3 inch wide elastic waistbands that are so popular right now. We shopped for one over the weekend but she's too small for the juniors department and too old for the girls department. It is getting very tricky to find her clothes! Anyhow, has anybody worked with the wide elastic? Is there anything special I need to do to sew the skirt? Thank in advance for any tips you can give me!

 

[aboveH20]

I was just wandering around and came upon a post on another DIS forum that GKTW needs pillowcases. They sound easy to make and there are directions and pictures on the post.

It's listed on the Just for Fun board (near the bottom of the list of forums), then select Cooking, Crafting and Scrapping, then Arts & Crafts. The actual post is entitled HELP needed for GKTW pillow program!

Sounds like they must have mini pillows they give out because a yard of flannel makes four pillowcases. In addition to the solid color there's also a pocket made from a printed fabric.

Maybe someone who's been to GKTW can explain how the pillows are used.

PS Joann's has solid color flannel on sale this week 50% off.

Here is a link for the Made Circle skirt. She uses a wide elastic. Don't remember if she gives any specific instruction about it tho. http://www.dana-made-it.com/2008/07/tutorial-circle-skirt.html

Just stopping by to see if my NEW TICKER is working!!!! Yipee! I get to go back this year. But I get to keep it a surprise! We are just going for Halloween weekend. Should be fun! This is if all works out just right with DH's vacations...should find out soon....but I am planning now.


Also, wanted to share that FIL's wife's mother passed yesterday. This is a very hard time for her I know so please remember her. I never met her mother as she has had dementia and in a nursing home since my FIL married his wife, but they both loved her very much and I am sure her family will miss her very much.

Welcome! I am not far from you...I'm is Salisbury...just not the near side of Charlotte to MaryJo's I hope to some day venture there...just have to make sure I have multiple reasons to drive that far with the price of gas! And jealous that your WM still carries fabric...mine has nada!

There is lots you can do without the embroidery! I didn't have one until recently and so all I did was by hand. Our first trip I even sewed all our my kids stuff on a 1950's singer that only did a straight stitch! UGH! Be sure to check out the photobucket account and to read HeatherSue's bestest most wonderful tutorial on how to applique by hand.

CarlaC's bowling shirts are GREAT for little boys! I make lots of matchy stuff from that pattern!

HAVE FUN!

Has anyone seen a Sorcerer Mickey fabric? I'm trying to get our FE ready for our cruise and we've been to every store locally and searched online but can't seem to find any sorcerer mickey fabric, embroideries, iron on's or anything close (except a 2"x2" on ebay that's too small). We're wondering if fabric has ever been made, or iron-on's...

Thanks!

Question: I was scanning the photobucket account and saw some princess dresses made for the American Girl doll. Is there a pattern out there to make these?? TIA!

I can't find it...can you post a link? thx

You're right, it's pretty well buried. This is the first post in the thread. If you keep reading there are directions, photos, and the address to mail them.

I just emailed the GKTW contact to see about pre-washing the fabric. They want new fabric (understandably) and since fabric doesn't always seem as new once it's washed I wanted to make sure before I start. I just got back from Joann's where I got solid flannel and some prints. It's a project that's right up my alley.

There is/was a Simplicity pattern 5705 to make Disney Princess Dresses. I think a lot of people make their own pattern or modify a pattern (quite a few people like Carlas patterns and several have the doll sized patterns)

I have used the simply sweet pattern by Carla C and used her tutorials to "princessify" them:

Cinderella

Aurora

Belle

Love MaryJo's, they have the best selection of fabric. We've been lucky to have two WM's in the area that still carry a nice selection of disney fabric.

I have nine grandchildren, 6 girls and 3 boys. In the past I have made the boys tee's with iron on designs that I have copied from The Creative DISigns Boards. There's a couple of really cute Yoda and Darth Vadar in a Christmas scene. We're originally from Boston, so the boys love anything that has a Patriot or a Red Sox Mickey on the designs. I bought the tee's from A.C.Moore in Matthews. They put the tee's on sale pretty regularly.

We're planning a trip for the week of Thanksgiving. I love Disney World that time of year.

Take care,
Marianne
