Disboutiquers Part 25 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[billwendy]

Why do you suppose the first thing that popped into my mind was portrait peasant and easy fits? Just saying...been lurking on this board way too long!

I can just picture this 6ft man in the outfit!!! Hahahahahahahahaha!!!! and maybe a bucket hat for the head piece????

Question:
Any tips on how to get a Mickey head sewn on easily? Do any of you use the spray adhesive instead? Ive practiced twice and am not doing so hot at this.

I have to admit. The first time I did a mickey head, I went out and bought some of those black patches you iron onto the knees of pants for kids when they get a hole in them??? Well, I cut it out to the shape of a mickey head and ironed it on - Walla!!!

You guys are all so sweet!! THanks for the turkey ideas!!! Im still stewing on that!! Today I had to repair and rebuild our hideous I did it Award Vest - hehehehehe -lots of lace and ruffles!!! I should have done it like an audrey ruffle skirt, but I held back - now to embroider some sayings on it!!! I pray I never EVER have to wear it!!! Billy had to wear it once!! He knocked over the easle in review time one night - all the campers reported him immediately

For those of you who remember the CricutQueen.....

Just happened to pop into this thread and noticed some of you talking about the Cricut.
Mommy2mrb suggested some good places for cartridges, but if you go here they have lots of them on sale right now for $19.95-

I've used this site many tiems and they are legit.

http://www.cricutmachine.com/specials.php

They even have the Toy Story Cartridge, Tinkerbell and Friends and Winnie the Pooh on sale at 19.95

I've missed you!!!!!

Don't worry because I already made the UGLIEST dress in the world the other day I tried upsizing the simply sweet halter just like I did the jumper and somehow it came out too tight on DD. Well I thought I could fix it and well..... it is just awful. Of course it was with my nice PeterPan fabric too. Luckily I had enough to make a skirt.

Pictures?????

A-ha! Now I get it! Thank you for explaining!

Regards,
C.

No problem! Heather is my sister, so she told me!

I love that picture.

The vest sounds lovely! Do you have pictures of it? It sounds like you have so much fun at camp!

I've missed you!!!!!

I miss you too Teresa! I'm doing better- isn't that good? When is your next trip to WDW? Anyone going in October?

FYI they no longer make refrigerator boxes -- trust me, we searched for one for some time last year to store the lei for my dh's ship and finally I contacted a local mom and pop appliance store where she told me frig's are now bubble wrapped. Washers and dryers still come in boxes.

[/QUOTE]

I am on my phone so I may have missed something, but they do in fact still make fridge boxes. My parents just redid their kitchen, and they saved the box for my kids to play in. They got it from sears. Hope this helps

The Deal from Joann's is $10 for every $50 you spend. I got two since I spent $100. I went to one Joann's and bought the Cricut machine but they didn't have the cartridge that I wanted so when I went to another one and saw the ad I asked and showed them my receipt and the gave me two.

I don't think my area has the same sales...that wasn't even in our ad And I spent over $50 yesterday.

INSA QUESTION???
The top gores have the option of using elastic which gives the skirt a really cute runched look. On the skirt I am making I am appliqueing 5x7 designs on the front and back panels while the sides have a print. I am assuming if I use elastic in all the panels it will bunch up the appliques a bit. I know I can leave the elastic out all together, but what about putting the elastic up the side panels only??? Has anyone ever done this? If anyone has and it worked please let me know and I will do that. Thanks!


Before you even mentioned the dolphins on the strap I was going to comment on the most excellent fabric placement! The skirt is perfect too with flowers up the left side and the dolphin on it's right. Very pretty fabric! And bravo to your dd for doing an excellent job.


WELCOME!


Glad you found the quilt!

Too funny that dh gets new batteries for his drill! Should I buy dh some mulch since I never finished doing the back yard?


Leggings with a swetshirt poofed out up top (just get a really large size). Not sure what to do about the tail though?


I had no clue about Joann's flannel being 42 inches either, but we don't have Hobby Lobby here and Hancock's never seems to put flannel on sale for the prices Joann's does.

FYI they no longer make refrigerator boxes -- trust me, we searched for one for some time last year to store the lei for my dh's ship and finally I contacted a local mom and pop appliance store where she told me frig's are now bubble wrapped. Washers and dryers still come in boxes though!

And where are pictures of yesterday's creations???? Actually, other than BG items I made my dd a tote which I never took pics of and embroidered my ds some t's, again no pics.

And I still can't believe you got your ds in the tutu. My ds refused to try on some hats for a BG and even my dd would only try one on for a few seconds My stair bannister and bud vase bowl ended up being better models!

I work at Home Depot.... we still get all our fridges in boxes. I just unloaded two off a truck tonight.

Grrr!!! Well apparently none are to be found in my neck of the woods! One of the girls in our group called everywhere to get one and no one had any and I called this little shop right near my house and she told me everything was bubble wrapped. And when we just got our brand new frig a couple of months ago it did not come in a box -- it was in some sort of plastic wrapping. I wonder if it depends on the brand?

When our new fridge came in December it was definitely in a box. They asked me if I wanted it for the kids but my kids decided they were too old to play in boxes. We got our fridge from HH Gregg (and it was a great deal too!) Maybe only certain brands come in boxes now? Our new fridge is a Samsung.

I really hate when my machine eats shirts near the end. Especially for a give off to the store for a new one.

 

[belle41379]

Okay ladies. This will be my first trip making outfits for the kids. We are going in mid October. Here are my thoughts. What do you think?

searsucker brown plaid fabric for AK - 3 tier skirt for DD w/Minnie head safari applique shirt, roll up (hopefully) pants/shorts for DS w/Mickey head applique or Yetti, romper for DS.

white/blue/green plaid shirting fabric for HS - shorts/roll up pants for DS w/Buzz or Toy Story appliue t-shirt, romper for DS (or tiny shorts w/onesie), probably Minnie tutu w/Minnie cupcake applique shirt for DD.

Epcot - patchwork 3 tier skirt for DD w/Marie applique shirt, nemo outfit for DS (romper or shorts/onesie), Test Track applique shirt and denim enhanced shorts for DS.

That's all I've got so far. I need EASY stuff, so keep that in mind. What do you think?

Excited to see what your finished product looks like. I need to get busy with my outfits too. When I made reservations September seemed so far away and now it'll be here before I know it.

THANK YOU! for the website where to get the cheaper cricut cartridges. Btw, I don't know if you guys know this or not but just FYI Joann's accepts competitor's coupons. They def. take Michaels because they let me use one...I haven't tried a Hobby Lobby one yet.

 

[babynala]

Sorry, but in addition to my above post...

D~ <---- who must get back to sewing now.

Thanks for all the tips on the bags. I still haven't decided what to make yet but I have some family in town and I'm not doing much sewing.

I bookmarked this tutorial that was posted by someone else here... (Maybe NCMomof2?) Anyway it looks somewhat similar to the Aivilo Messenger bag I've made several times, except it has a zipper which I have never tried. Anyway, thought it might help.

Thanks, I've made a few of the Aivilo messenger bags and I do love them but I like the idea of the zipper. Thanks for the link.

Lauren has developed this fascination with Darth Vader. She thinks he is so funny. I got the design to make a father's day gift for Dh but Lauren asked for a pink Vader.....

Oh, this is so cute. I'm sure the type-A little boys will not like this (like my son) but I love it. That Disney Commercial was too funny.

I have done some MAJOR sewing recently! The heat in maryland is ungodly at this point (Over 100 degrees) and there is nothing to do outside so sewing inside has kept me sane! This weather is just crazy anymore! Snow in Hawaii, The fires, floods and tornados! I pray everyone is safe!

Thanks for letting me share my LOADS of pictures! I have plenty more to share but I will just leave you with the outfits and not the pictures of the kidos lol Although Nathan has grown so much since I have shared any pictures of him!

Candice

Wow, AMAZING. The outfits are beautiful and so much detail. Your models are having so much fun. I love it.

Okay ... so I'd never made a tutu before, but I'd heard they were easy to make and lots of fun ... so when Amber needed a "rocker tutu" for Savannah for a photo shoot for the hospital next week, I talked to my cousin that makes tutus and decided I could give it a shot

And the longest part of the process? CUTTING and STACKING the tulle ... the actual process of putting the tutu together is super quick ... it's the "prep work" that took a while (and of course, Savannah's BOYFRIEND - DS2 - wanted to "help" ) ...

He was nice enough to model for me when I was halfway through ...

I decided it wasn't "poofy" enough and that I didn't like how the waistband looked with the tulle & ribbons all showing together, so I added a second layer - more POOF and it hid all the "mess"

So, there you have it! My first ever tutu ... and I LOVED making it!!! SO much fun!!! It helped curb the need to make "girly things" when I have two boys to sew for too
.

This is so cute. You did a great job and it is so poofy. How sweet of your DS to try it on since it was for his girlfriend.

We are 10 days from leaving for our trip, and I am now 1 shirt away from having 27 (yes, that's TWENTY SEVEN) outfits put together for my 3 nieces, 2 nephews, and 2 DS's! I just got an iPhone yesterday which I think will help with posting pics. As soon as I have a few minutes to figure that out I'll try and get some pics up.

And just as a shout out...I did have some help from a good friend and my aunt getting all these done. YEA for sewing buddies!!

You are on a roll. I"m impressed that you have done so much sewing. I hope you have a great time on your trip. Can't wait to see pictures of everything.

The discount was awesome - unfortunately - my entire paycheck went back into Gymboree - even after the discount. My girls matched, head to toe, every single day of their lives until they were about 4 & 5 - It was truly insane! I miss those days, but I honestly don't know what I was thinking??? I remember, standing in the store, back in the day - wishing Gymboree would have made this or that... now I just sit in front of my machine and create it. When I am done with this baby "outfit" - it will end up being 7 pieces that totally and completely coordinate and mix & match. I sure hope she likes this fabric - LOL.
D~

I always think that about the workers in Gymboree and JoAnn's - that their entire paycheck probably goes right back to the store. I always think is so cute when little ones match. I could never find coordinating clothes for my DS and DD. I wish I had been sewing my kids were smaller.

And dh won't let me put any other browsers on this pc - he is picky that way.
D~

I'm the same way, I don't like to add "extra" software on my computer but my husband is a computer guy in real life and he made the point that if you only have one browser on your computer and that browser fails you can't get to the internet to download any fixes or updates. He always advises people to install 2 browsers just in case.

Here is a messenger bag I made for Bridget's Big Give for her Mom. I had purchased the 7 dwarfs fabric a while back. I was excited to have an opportunity to use it for this family - they have 7 kids and each has a dwarf nickname, I thought this fabric would be appropriate for Mom:

Thanks for looking!

Oh, this is perfect. How sweet to make this for Bridget's mom.

This is one I made yesterday. I just need to iron it and take it to be monogrammed. I found a great stash of antique pillowcases with beautiful embroidery on the bottoms (2 of each style). I am making them for my nieces and my dd for our beach pictures.

These are beautiful and will be perfect for a beach photo shoot.

Here we go:

The whole set - a result of excuse #1... everything mixes and matches, coordinates and makes mulitple outfits for different seasons.

Another way to match them up:

This started out as a plain white T-shirt:

Detail on the pant legs:

And I think that's it! Now, I hope she loves the fabric. LOL

D~

First off, thanks for all the pictures. This set is gorgeous and the fabric is beautiful. You did a great job on the hand applique. I'm sure you will be addicted and I can't wait to see what else you end up making. I love how everything coordinates and can be mixed and matched. The bloomers are the cutest thing.
Question: how did you do that detailing on the pant leg?

Finally got the girls rainbow outfits done!!!! These will be from their brother Tim and I ! I only had 1 yard of the rainbow fabric - thank goodness the girls were still small enough for 2 pairs of shorts out of it!!!!

I LOVE this new heathersue design!!!!!

These came out so cute. Perfect fabric for that design. How sweet of you to make these for you and Tim to give to the girls.

I do not enjoy gathering so I've only ever used that pattern to make an A-line style dress and tops. I've never had any trouble getting it on either of my girls.

I would think the tie straps would work well. The first one I made the straps were too long-I ended up just sewing a tuck in the back of the strap but the ties would allow it to fit longer.

Cute, cute, cute.

OK - I have something else to share. Sorry... But this time - it isn't mine - it's 12 y/o dd's. She made her Kanani 2 dresses over the last 2 weeks, and I need to share them because she did such a great job. I helped with pattern placement and I read the instructions out loud - otherwise - she did it all herself!

We just love the dolphins on this dress... and we couldn't have placed the bodice more perfectly, than to get one dolphin up the strap.

I hope everyone had a nice weekend.
D~

Your DD did an amazing job on these dresses. They are so pretty. I think it is so hard to make things that are so small. The fabric placement is perfect, especially for such a tiny pattern.

Hi Everyone, I've been lurking here for awhile and oohing and aahing over all the beautiful things. You all are very talented. So I decided I should introduce myself. My name is Carol, I have 2 married daughters and 2 adorable grandchildren. I'm also a special needs preschool teacher and just started enjoying my summer break. I hope to do lots of sewing this summer for our Disney trip in Sept.

Welcome. Can't wait to see what you make.

OK - I just had to squeal with excitement - I figured you all might be able to understand.

And for the record - Allison is 13 and she does not care one whit about her baby blanket. I know when I tell her that I've found it - she will truly think I've flipped my lid.

I am not making DH anything. I already gave him his gifts because I thought he was going to be fishing in Canada... nope, wrong weekend. Oops. I gave him 5 boxes of his favorite Girl Scout cookies and 2 batteries for his cordless drills (in hopes that he will finish my sewing room - and I told him that)

D~

Great find on the quilt that your DD used as a child. I think it is so sweet that she wants to have it in her room. That is a great father's day gift, even if it was a little early. I guess you will have to give him Sunday off but maybe he will get your sewing room done soon.

You guys are all so sweet!! THanks for the turkey ideas!!! Im still stewing on that!! Today I had to repair and rebuild our hideous I did it Award Vest - hehehehehe -lots of lace and ruffles!!! I should have done it like an audrey ruffle skirt, but I held back - now to embroider some sayings on it!!! I pray I never EVER have to wear it!!! Billy had to wear it once!! He knocked over the easle in review time one night - all the campers reported him immediately

So funny, it sounds like you guys have so much fun at Camp.

Okay ladies. This will be my first trip making outfits for the kids. We are going in mid October. Here are my thoughts. What do you think?

searsucker brown plaid fabric for AK - 3 tier skirt for DD w/Minnie head safari applique shirt, roll up (hopefully) pants/shorts for DS w/Mickey head applique or Yetti, romper for DS.

white/blue/green plaid shirting fabric for HS - shorts/roll up pants for DS w/Buzz or Toy Story appliue t-shirt, romper for DS (or tiny shorts w/onesie), probably Minnie tutu w/Minnie cupcake applique shirt for DD.

Epcot - patchwork 3 tier skirt for DD w/Marie applique shirt, nemo outfit for DS (romper or shorts/onesie), Test Track applique shirt and denim enhanced shorts for DS.

That's all I've got so far. I need EASY stuff, so keep that in mind. What do you think?

Those ideas sound great. We too are going in October and I haven't started one thing. I have so many ideas but I really need to make a plan and coordinate outfits for the parks that we will be visiting.

Where can I find clothes to buy that you guys sew. I need the web site. I found it once, but can't find it now. Thanks.

Question: how did you do that detailing on the pant leg?

Wow... you quoted me about 6 times in your previous post... I didn't realize I'd been that busy lately. Thank you for all the compliments!

My DH is a computer/network guy IRL too - and I am frequently at his mercy for many computer issues. I am a little picky about the links I click and emails I choose to open - just because there are so many viruses out there. So if you all ever send me something and I don't open or click on it - nothing personal, just cautious.

All I did for the detailing on the ezfit pants was I followed the instructions for the pants with the border on the bottom of them - then I inserted a strip of fabric 1" x width of border - folded it in half lengthwise and put it in the seam. Exactly what Chiara does for her skirts.

Where can I find clothes to buy that you guys sew. I need the web site. I found it once, but can't find it now. Thanks.

Hi! I know we aren't allowed to sell on the Dis - but usually anyone that has items for sale, has their Etsy ID in their siggy - so you can search for them and find them on Etsy.

[RMAMom]

Does anyone know where I can find Safari Donald in PES format?

Andrea ~ Thanks for the link for the shirts, I may give them a try.

 

[cogero]

Divas Doodles has a full bodied one and Bows and clothes has a safari donald head.

Not sure if HeatherSue has one but I know she has a Mickey Head Safari Hat.

 

[BBGirl]

I heard that they are opening an AG store in DC! That is only a 2 hour drive for us! I would love to take dd for tea there (and I want to go too!)

I have ressies for tea for 6 on July 9th . So looking forward to it. We are 2 hours away too but my Dad lives about 20 minutes away. DD and 3 friends and 1 other mom just tea no shopping HAHA.

 

[belle41379]

Little dress I whipped up for one of our baby nieces. Simple and quick. Gave me a chance to work on my French seams.

 

[chellewashere]

You ladies are way to fast for me. I am going to have to go back 20 pages to catch up, but wanted to say that from browsing the pages everything looks so nice so far.
And thank you thank you thank you for the rolled hem tut!! AWESOME

 

[mommyof2princesses]

Need help! We are finally going to go to Universal on our next Disney trip and the girls want harry potter outfits. My oldest is planning on designing a hogwarts school outfit, but my younger one is still into dresses and such. I cannot find harry potter material anywhere. Except for a few on ebay that are charging an arm and a leg! I don't need much, enough for a skirt for a size 5/6. Preferably 2 or 3 different designs. Planning early as we are not going until Jan or feb.

I have ressies for tea for 6 on July 9th . So looking forward to it. We are 2 hours away too but my Dad lives about 20 minutes away. DD and 3 friends and 1 other mom just tea no shopping HAHA.

How much is tea? I think dd would love this! It would make a great July trip for us too, as my older dd will be at the beach with her friends!
