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

[1308Miles]

Thank you! That makes sense! Do you mind if I put this in the blog?

No problem...sure, by all means, put it in the blog! I would love to be able to help out fellow DBoutiquers that have helped me in the past!

 

[miprender]

Love seeing all the outfits in action. Looks like all of you had a great time despite your DS

Those came out great.

Does anyone know of a Disney font I could purchase that works like the built-in ones for the Brother 770? I bought one on etsy but it is completely worthless to me because I can just do one letter at a time. I wanted one to do some personalization for a Big Give. I may have to stick to what I have in my machine for this one but if I would like to find one for future use. TIA!

I think I bought the same one and couldn't get it to work either. I did buy the Stitch Era but haven't had a chance to play around with it.

This is the new pattern that is coming out from Sis Boom and CarlaC. I can't even TELL you how much I love this!!! It looks difficult (to me anyway) but it goes together SO smoothly and quickly. Do NOT fear the zipper!

This is Lydia in the Marissa (not the best pictures of Lydia, she's making a really weird face, but a good shot of the dress):

and just because I think Lyddie is a nut and she cracks me up every single day:

and, this is me in the adult version, the Jamie:

.

Oh I can't wait for that pattern to come out. Did you say it might be out on Monday

Here are a few from last Christmas at Disney-

Just love those dresses especially the Minnie Mouse Vida.

I have had a bunch of projects that I have been working on. I finally finished a bunch of them today. Now I need to dive into a few more projects. Here are a few pictures:

Those came out great.

I am so proud of my future son-in-law did any of yall see on yahoo or the news were the braves minor league coach was hit the face at the ball game yesterday at disney sports my son in law was one of the parimedics in the picture he took care of him if it wasnt for people doing that we would be in trouble, you could actually see him in the picture on yahoo. My paryers and thoughts go to the coach and his family for a full recovery he has some broken bones in his face.

Wow what a scary story.

 

[RMAMom]

Sooo far behind, I love the beautiful things that have been posted on the last few pages

The pictures of Liam in EPCOT are adorable!
I love the Vida and Hello Kitty outfits and the ruffle butterfly bag looks like Spring!

Does anyone know when the new pattern from Sis Boom will be released? I can't wait to make the adult dress for my 3 girls and then the childs version so my DGD can match her Mommy.

Ruffled Socks ~ I found a free tutorial for this months ago. My plan was to make socks for every outfit. I still haven't tried it. I am on DH's laptop but I'll check the bookmarks on my laptop later and post it.

Very sweet bag and love the rompers. What are you making for the cruise?


I have a disney font I D/L but I use it in PE8 and put the words together. I am more than happy to help you out by doing the personalization if you want. But I leave in two weeks.

Thank you so much for the offer. I also had another offer to digitize for the Big Give but I had already started since I had several siblings I was doing things for and I have a long work week ahead and wanted to get started. I will definitely keep in mind that I can always ask the wonderful Disboutiquer's for help for the next Give!

Those are absolutely adoreable! Love the Hello Kitty outfits!

Love that dress! I want that pattern because Alexa has a concert in two weeks and it would be perfect! It probably won't be out in time. And you look smokin'!

Great stuff! Looking at your pics makes me want to plan a Christmas Disney trip!

Hi all!

Started on an AG doll dress tonight with my younger daughter while the older one was at scouts. She made a few mistakes but I am trying to let her do most of it. My natural tendency is to take over and do it for her but then she won't learn anything. I did manage to get the fabric panels ready for two more bowling shirts for my nephews. Now I just have to pin and cut them tomorrow.

I got the Curious George patterns from Diva's Doodles. They stitched out fairly well. The design with just the head stitched out better than the full body Curious George. On the full body version the stitching on his feet was very heavy and you can see where the fibers on the appliqued fabric started to get thinned out. Overall I was pretty happy though. I had to search around a bit before I found just the CG head.

 

[PurpleEars]

A drawstring might be the solution if the little girl's weight fluctuates.

Lori in East Podunk

That's a great idea. I will have to keep it in the "for future reference" file.

I saw those on Kade's BG and on his PTR as well -- very nice job and I know the grandma's had to excited to get some clothes as well. Awesome work!

These turned out awesome!

D~

Those came out great

Thanks for the positive comments on those shirts. I have made a number of Patricia tunics for Gives lately so I branched out a little bit for another recent Give. Those princess seams give me troubles from time to time (having the curve start at about the same spot left and right can be difficult some days)!

Anyway - as promised, here are some pics of the custom outfits in action:

Lastly, before I left, I posted a question about hats/headwraps for my BFF who was starting chemo. Thank you for all the hugs, prayers, etc. I loved the suggestions that were posted and I bookmarked them. However, I really liked the idea of making a bucket hat so I turned to my go-to pattern website, YCMT! I modified the reversible patchwork bucket hat to fit an adult and here's what I came up with:

I also made two matching smaller hats for her DD6. They kind of look like fedoras in these pics...but they are actually bucket hats!

Looks like your family had a good time even though Liam had a rough time. It is very kind of you to make the hats for your friend and her DD to match. I hope your friend is managing the treatment and the side effects reasonably well.

So, I have made a couple of things I wanted to share. I had to test out a couple of new patterns to get ready for our Disney Cruise next year!

I started with the Ruffle bag. I made the medium size to test out the pattern and the size. Love the size, but I will definetly be making the large for my cruise. And of course in "disney" fashion. The pattern was also very easy!

I also made the reversible romper...also very easy! Love this! Cannot wait to make more. Just wish this pattern went larger. I plan to let my son wear this one for his birthday, so I will post pics of him actually wearing it later.

Now, I have several baby showers to make outfits for. I also have birthday outfits, Easter, and to start preparing for our cruise!!

Beautiful bag! Good to hear the romper is easy to put together. I am thinking about purchasing that pattern to make a few rompers for a friend who is expecting her first baby in June, though it sounds like they have quite a few pieces of clothing for this baby already.

This is the new pattern that is coming out from Sis Boom and CarlaC. I can't even TELL you how much I love this!!! It looks difficult (to me anyway) but it goes together SO smoothly and quickly. Do NOT fear the zipper!

This is Lydia in the Marissa (not the best pictures of Lydia, she's making a really weird face, but a good shot of the dress):

and, this is me in the adult version, the Jamie:

Yes, it was freezing out.
Is anyone looking for a house in Michigan? Our neighbors are selling.
Come move to Michigan where even our evergreens turn brown in the winter! If you love tan, beige and brown, THIS is the place to be!

I think that should be the new state motto. I might mention it to our new governor.

Both the child and adult version look great (I think the models really help!) I think I will have to add those patterns to my sewing budget. You guys can keep the tan, beige and brown in the winter - we get those colours in the summer! We only have a few weeks of green, which in some ways is great for allergy sufferers!

Beautiful dresses!

I really like the Curious George sets!

How scary! I totally agree that paramedics don't get enough praise for what they do. They deal with a lot of icky stuff, and they don't have the same kind of equipment as police officers when they deal with people who are aggressive (either delibrately or due to their mental state). I am thankful that there are people like your future son-in-law!

Those princess seams give me troubles from time to time (having the curve start at about the same spot left and right can be difficult some days)!

What I learned with the tunics is to use the nicer cottons. When I use calicos (thicker fabrics) and stay away from the symphony type (thinner sheer) fabrics the seams look nicer. I also press the seams and that seems to help too. I also try and pin where I want the curve to start. Maybe that would help?

I think I am caught up! It has been a crazy few weeks. I fell and ignored my ankle for 2 weeks. DD8 got horribly sick, then I did, then my MIL did, then I went to the doctor for my ankle -- partially torn ligament -- and got a brace. That very night I slipped on the darn brace down our hardwood stairs and now have a sprained shoulder, sprained wrist and a horrible knot the size of 2 fists on my hip plus bruises down my back to my knee. I am now on the mend and can catch up!!

So much cute stuff lately! I don't have time to go back and multi-quote on everything though!

I see where you don't need this anymore but if you do in the future I can send you names in PES formats with the disney font.

Beautiful!!! I love it!!! And I also think your "chestal area" looks fabulous!!

Hey Ladies! It's been forever and a day since I posted. It's a rainy afternoon and I am procrastinating. What better to help me with my procrastination than the DIS.

LOVE the dress!!! Beautiful!!

Here is what I have been working on...

We have an annual daffodil festival and here is what I made for DD8 to wear on top of leggings.

And here is her Easter Dress and hair bow

That's what Carla is shooting for.

The word is to be on the lookout Monday. (Things can happen though, so that's not a promise!)

First of all, THANK YOU!
Second, the pattern should be out in plenty of time for you!

Thank you. This was a really fun one to make.
Generally, most of the winter we have white and brown. It has just recently turned to all brown. In the summer, it's usually rather pretty here, unless we don't get much rain, then it turns brown again! Really it's not fair!

How old is your dd? We started our first last night too, but didn't get far at all since dd asked to start about 20 minutes before bedtime. All she did was get the pattern (portrait peasant) printed and cut it out and then I cut out the bodice pieces as I'm afraid to let her use my rotary cutter. I also have to piece some fabric together for the skirt b/c we're making a flannel nightgown to match one I made dd and we don't have a lot of leftover fabric. I think my dd is going to need a lot of guidance, but she just turned 7 so I don't expect a lot from her.

Love your dresses -- the daffodil dress is so bright and so spring! And we have daffodils popping up all over now! And I'm sorry to hear about your ankle but I'm even more sorry to hear about your second fall! Ouch
Please heal quickly!

My DD is 10. She took a basic sewing class last summer and really liked it but we haven't done much together at home. We are doing the sew along tutorial that was posted her a couple of days ago. It is for a mu mu style dress. Very easy to put together. I also didn't let DD use the rotary cutter. I made her use scissors and it was fine, especially for a doll dress. My girls have been asking for "sun dresses" for their AG dolls.

My Daughter was only 7 when she first started sewing. Her first project was a quilt for her new baby niece...and her second was an A line for her niece's first birthday. She did really good on both projects. Of course she had always taken my scraps and used pins to make temporary clothes for her dolls! She is much better at designing her creations than actually constructing them.

She designs most of the clothes I make for her, although she will be 11 soon and no longer thinks handmade is cool!

I love the daffodil shirt My daughter wants a shirt like that so I printed a tutorial yesterday.

I need to pack my sewing machine up as my mom wants to try it so I am bringing it to work.

Her sewing machine is giving her fits. It is older than my brother who just turned 46. She bought it when she got married. I told her since she actually knows how to sew she should go and get a really nice machine. Back in 1964 she spent 100 on her machine it was the best Kenmore made.

We shall see had to actually take the foot pedal out of the box to bring with me last night.

I will post pictures later of the pjs I made. I am not happy with the Mickey head it is a little too far down on the shirt but it was my first time doing it on the 5 x 7 hoop.

My girls have did a couple of simple projects like pj pants and a draw string backpack at their sewing class. They made a skirt with me at home. The older DD is much less interested in sewing than the younger one. With the AG outfit, I am trying to let her do as much on her own as possible. I feel like she won't learn as much if I keep jumping in and doing part of it for her.

My girls are 10 and 11 now and they won't wear anything that I make them. I do most of my sewing for little nieces and nephews now. It is sad for me since I didn't have much time to sew for my own girls when they were little. I never really made them anything and now they don't want me to make stuff for them.

 

[chellewashere]

Good morning everyone. Just wanted to post a quick picture of a skirt I finished for Lorelei. I sure cant wait to be able to do pieces like y'all do.

Finished my Jessie inspired stripwork in time for our trip to Toy Story on ice. Actually made a few of these for customers and have a few orders to finish still. Lots of interest on the Jessie's.

PD to those in need!

Congrats to Granna on her new grandbaby to be!

Thats adorable! Do you sell on Etsy? If so you can include your user id in your sig I think, I would love to look at your other stuff!
