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

[effervescent]

Here are a couple of things I did a while back for a Big Give. It took a while for the family to receive them because they live in Canada.

A belle twirl scallopini set. It was my first time using this pattern and I just loved it!

A pirate outfit for little brother.

I just adore that Belle outfit.

Yeah. I'm excited about the Grinch fabric. Some of it looks really cute. It's due the middle of next month, but it is hard to think about Christmas in May.

So, here are a few things I made for the girls' tutors and the students in my class from our co-op.

For the adults...... I had asked is anyone had a pattern. I ended up just winging it.

And for the kiddos.... A smaller version.....

Those are awesome! I have something similar on my never ending to do list.

OT: Please pray for the victims for storms in my state -- Arkansas. We had very minor damage - a tree came down in our back yard and hit our neighbor's house. Minor damage to our fence and their gutter pipe. We can clean it up in a day or two be back to normal.

But 3 children were killed last night in our state due to trees falling on their houses. They found a mom holding her 7 year old son in her arms dead from a tree this afternoon - he called her in his room due to being scared so she went to comfort him. Her 18 month old daughter was fine. So so heartbreaking! That happened about just 6 miles from our home. An 18 month old and her dad who she was sleeping with both died and a 6 year died in his home. This just breaks my heart. It puts our lost tree, broken fence and damaged gutter in perspective.

And happier news -- another doll dress for a birthday party.

I saw all the storm damage reports on the news this morning before I left work. Heartbreaking.

Lovely doll dress!

The outfits are beautiful, and it looks like you put a lot of work into the applique on the skirt. I saw Peanut modelling, and I'm sure it was all worth it after seeing her making the heart and loving the outfit. Great job, and so nice to do.

So sorry for the losses, so sad

Love the doll dress, that is a different style than I have seen before and I like the gingham with the monogram.

QUESTION

What can be done with panel fabric? Our Hancock's has Wall-E panels on sale for $1 yard. I bought two yards at one store but another has way more. Would they work for pillow cases for BG's? Any other ideas? Are they too big for the pillows for the GKTW project (I think those are smaller than regular pillows but not really sure as I haven't made any yet). I just feel compelled to buy more of the fabric at that price, but if it has limited uses I hate to hoard something that I won't use much. I bought Tink panels at Walmart on clearance ($3 panel) but figured I could make totes for the ladies with those. Tink is also more popular than Wall-E. I could see myself using those for Vida's as well, but doubt I'd ever have the need to make a Wall-E Vida.

I was going to say vida but I see you already thought of that. I used a minnie panel to make a messenger bag before. I think a pillowcase would be good too. Not sure how big the characters are on it, but even the back of a bowling shirt might work. I would get a few for that price, I am sure you can think of even more uses

I haven't posted for awhile, but I finally finished Disney outfits for our trip to DW in a few weeks and thought I'd share.

I got the idea for this outfit from someone on here (it was a skirt and t-shirt), but my DD insisted on only dresses.

My DD will be going to BBB one day, so I made her a comfy Cinderella dress. The fabric has glitter in it!!

I bought the shirt at Walmart last year, and found matching Tinker Bell fabric to make the skirt.

For 1900 Park Fare (DD went as Drizella last year and wanted to be Anastasia this time!)

 

[DMGeurts]

TMTQ... It amazes me that I can fall behind in one day... Everything is adorable - as always!

Well, I've been sewing like crazy the last few days, trying to finish up a few outfits that I had half finished - I am finally working on my last princess. I hate to say it, but I am a little tired of them, and I'll be really happy to move on to Toy Story.

Anyways - here's Belle. This outfit did not turn out, at all, like I'd wanted it to. I planned to do a scallopini, but I just couldn't get the scallops even - appearantly, I can't do perfect curves - and it really bothered me. So, I went with this skirt instead - it's not my favorite. The lumiere embroidery helps - I did two variations - one with Chip as well (personally, I like the Chip on better). The top turned out cute - the ruffle was really hard to get situated and sewn, I had to rip it out a few times.

Close-up of Lumiere:

And on the other outfit I did - Chip:

And then I did Ariel. I am actually happy with this one. I chose not to do any embroidery work on this one at all, just because there is so much going on, I think it would just detract from the outfit itself. Over all, I think it came together really nicely - again, it wasn't the skirt I'd originally intended for Ariel - I don't even remember which one I was going to do - but I drew the pattern for this one on my own and I really like how it turned out. It was quite labor intensive - but I like it just the same.

I finished Jasmine's skirt last night. It's a smidgin tighter and shorter than I wanted it, but I think I am going to leave it that way. I hope to post pictures by the end of the day.

D~

 

[mphalens]

Wow!!! I would have loved outfits like that for my AGs when I was a kid!!!

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

Ugh! I lost all of my quotes. Thanks for all of the advice about the fitted type shirts from jiffy shirts. I think I will go look for one at Target instead. Is the rabbit skins brand okay for little kids tshirts and onesies? I have a mom that wants a light yellow in a 2T, 4T, and 0-3 months and that is where I could find the same color for all of them unless you all can recommend somewhere else?

I found the Rabbit Skins SHRINK!! ALOT!! Wondering if you have a Walmart near you the Garanimals are better not sure if they come in yellow though...I was looking for white and pink.

 

[RMAMom]

WOW way TMTQ but everything is great!


I finally finished 22 pairs of shorts.... 11 each for DS3 & DS5. Now I can move onto things for DD. I will post pics after I have appliqued the shirts to go with the shorts.

But I have found a new obsession besided buying fabric... I keep buying plain Tshirts for DD,DS5,DS3 when I find them at the store. I could probably clothes all the kids in my neighborhood now I have so many shirts. But I just think of all the possibilities I can do with those tees.

You have been busy! I can't wait to see what you do with all of those shirts.

Okay ... question: For those that do hand applique, do you still get designs from people? How does that work exactly? I've read the fabulous tutorial, but I'm still sort of lost Can someone explain?

I've got an open bottle of wine and am under strict orders from my chiropractor to relax tonight (I've majorly messed up my neck and don't know how) ... so I can't play with my sewing machine like I'd hoped, but I can have fun playing around online!!!

If you go to the first page of this thread you will find the best Appliqué Tutorial Ever. It explains in detail how to hand appliqué, it is completely different from using an embroidery machine which is digital and why we have to get the designs from someone who can digitize or turn pictures into a digital format, appliqué by hand is actually done on a regular sewing machine.

I hope your neck feels better soon.

Such great items lately!!! All of the cat items are sweet. The rag quilt is great! The sweat skirts! So many things!!




Here is where I got mine from: http://apexembdesigns.com/easter-peeps-embroidery-designs I copied it 2 more times and added my own wording

I found these on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/67371041/three-peeps-machine-embroidery-applique

I'm so sorry to hear of the tragedy from the storms, I am glad that you came through it OK and I will pray for those that didn't

Some how I lost the scallopini quote, it's just beautiful. I just finished my first one, I can't imagine how you did all of that embroidery work on the scallops! It's gorgeous!

Not sure about Jiffy shirts, but all of the Rabbit Skins shirts I've ever owned for my boys run SMALL... like REALLY small ...

My almost 3 year old is TINY. 24lbs and short (most 2T stuff is still too long on him) ... anyway, he's worn a 3T Rabbit Skins Gymboree Play & Music shirt since he was 18 months old ... when he was even tinier!

 

[aboveH20]

I just want you all to know you have inspired me. This was my 2nd ever sewing piece. It's not Disney but I am making a Mickey/Minnie inspired one for MK and a top for Epcot as well. I don't have an embroidering machine so nothing like that yet
Just wanted to say Thank you for your INSPIRATION!!!

Beautiful

I made this skirt for dd for Valentine's Day ~ but it's mainly kitties with some hearts so she wears it all the time. I took photos when I made it but she had on a shirt that was way too big and it made the skirt look awful. It looks much better with this shirt:

And I made this rag bed for my dog's crate. Didn't pad it nearly enough so I now use it as a throw over their crate bed and it's so thin they just dig in it and scrunch it up. I'm really mad I did not make it thicker

Thanks for looking!

I love the dress and the bed sure looks comfy.

I finally finished 22 pairs of shorts.... 11 each for DS3 & DS5. Now I can move onto things for DD. I will post pics after I have appliqued the shirts to go with the shorts.

WOW. You and your sewing machine must be very close!

a tank for A's summer wardrobe (waiting for fabric to come in to complete this outfit)

And I started making this countdown banner for our upcoming trip! I have several more links to stitch, but I'm loving how it's coming out!

I especially like the countdown chain becasue it's reusable.

The bibs were a big hit.

I also volunteered to make some easy fits for him since he is such an odd size for his waist and legnth. She is going to get me a pair of pants that fit.

My dad came up to me at the party and told me what a nice thing I did making the bibs and how nice the look. it was so sweet.

Always makes the work worthwhile when it's appreciated. Way to go.

Here are a couple of things I did a while back for a Big Give. It took a while for the family to receive them because they live in Canada.

A belle twirl scallopini set. It was my first time using this pattern and I just loved it!

A pirate outfit for little brother.

What works of art. The Belle dress is incredible.

For the adults...... I had asked is anyone had a pattern. I ended up just winging it.

And for the kiddos.... A smaller version.....

They all turned out great and will be very useful and appreciated gifts. Nice job.

I heard about the storm on the news last night. Such devastation.

I like you doll dress -- it's very cheerful.

I always enjoy seeing your creations.

We'll have to plan a playdate at my house and I can show you how I do hand appliques.

 

[mphalens]

Yes

 

[revrob]

I can't beleive the work you are putting into your countdown banner! That means you must plan lots of trips so your time is worht the effort!

We do take lots of trips, so it will be great to have this for several trips to come! The greatest thing is that since it is all in the hoop, it only takes about 5-6 minutes per link to complete. It's relly going together pretty quickly.

I especially like the countdown chain becasue it's reusable.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping! We can use this for lots of years too come!

Yeah. I'm excited about the Grinch fabric. Some of it looks really cute. It's due the middle of next month, but it is hard to think about Christmas in May.

I love your AG outfits.

I thinkI missed a few in my quote but everything that has been posted is fabulous.

They sound adorable - lots of ideas already mentioned - I did a round neck top a few times with pillow panels and they came out nice,,,

I only quoted one, but they're all so cute!!! I just love all the lengths we go to to dress our kids for Disney!!! I have 4 outfits for just 1.5 days for our trip in a couple weeks. We'll be there mid May! When are you headed down?

 

[billwendy]

QUESTION hi Everyone -Im thinking of taking a try at the wrap top dress. How does the sizing run on that. I had the kids mom measure them, and I know their usual sizes (4/5 and 10) but they measure chest wise at a 2/3 and 7/8? I was thinking of doing a 4/5 and a 8/10....thoughts??? Thanks!!

We were supposed to watch the kids all weekend, but Elizabeth was sick puking yesterday so their mom stayed home. No one else has puked and its been 24 hours since Elizabeth did, so they are going to come over here for dinner and an indoor easter egg hunt!!!! Im going to wrap the outfits I made them and hide them too!!

We just decided to try netflix for free for the month. Does anyone else do this and, if you do, do you cancel your other cable movie channels?

Ugh! Now I don't know what to do . I really need some matching pale yellow shirts and onesie. Does anyone have any other ideas? Walmart doesn't carryt that color.

We do take lots of trips, so it will be great to have this for several trips to come! The greatest thing is that since it is all in the hoop, it only takes about 5-6 minutes per link to complete. It's relly going together pretty quickly.



Thanks, that's what I was hoping! We can use this for lots of years too come!

I love it! It is super cute! Is this one of the designs you have digitized and are selling?

Both outfits are just AMAZING!!!!!!!! Love them!!!!

I adore the Ariel -- the skirt is really neat! And I favor Chip as well -- super duper job on that -- Chip must have taken hours!

They sound adorable - lots of ideas already mentioned - I did a round neck top a few times with pillow panels and they came out nice,,,

What a great idea! I love those!!! I would have never thought of that. Maybe I will pick up a few more panels at that price. Wall-E doesn't seem to be metnioned too often on BG favorites though.

And Ellen thanks for the idea of the bowling shirt -- no clue why I didn't think of that! Again, I just wish Wall-E was more popular. I hate to buy a bunch and never use it.
