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

[kelly1218]

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?

Well that I can't answer LOL. I had an LG and a maytag last night. Some patio doors come in cardboard too.... not square...but a nice 3X6 piece of cardboard

For appliance boxes I was told to call your local lowes and home depot and get the number of the company they use to deliver the apliances. I am told it may take a few tries to get the number. Then you can call the number and find out how to get some boxes from them.

Here is a link to show you how to go about getting the boxes.

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.

How about just using fabric in the colors of the House she likes (red/gold, green/silver, etc), to make a twirl dress or skits? Maybe a tiered skirt? For the top you could appliqué the house symbol on the dress or on a t-shirt. I think that would be cute.

Anita,

Can you please tell me where you found those cute strawberry appliques that you used on your GD's dresses? I bought some strawberry fabric today to make something for my girls to go the strawberry patch in.

Thanks!

Sorry...I just saw this. I haven't been on the boards for a few days. They both came from SWAKembroidery.com I hope I didn't get the info to you too late!

I sort of interduced myself last week. Ive been watching and drooling over all the cute clothes you all do, and decided to give it a try myself. Well, this weekend my mom came over and brought me all kinds of stuff I didnt think to buy, along with a bunch of practice material and she helped my sew my dd3 a pair of shorts. She did most of it, I just watched and then today I finished the hem at the bottoms. I think they turned out good.

Today, I made a dress for dd3. She is out swimming, so Im waiting for her to get home so I can figure out where to put the straps and I will then have to take my new camera I bought yesterday out of the box and take pictures to share.

I know they are not perfect, but wearable and its a start.

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.

Don't ever worry about something being perfect. I think it's all up to interpretation. Just because the directions say to do one thing, doesn't mean you have to do it that way.

I like the iron on patch idea! Have you used heat and bond lite? It's a "glue" inbetween 2 peices of paper. You peel the paper off one side, iron it on you fabric, then peel the other side off, iron into you shirt. Then you would do your satin stiitch or zigzag.

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.

If you check the signatures, you can see some ebay and etsy id's. We can't sell from here.

Pictures?????

Sorry the dress is just so awful I am afraid it might break my camera

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

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?

Sounds great to me. Can't wait to see what you post

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

Nice Job.

Okay ... as promised, here's what I've sewn in the past few days ...

Disney Decoupaged Jeans:

Star Wars Jeans (which are cut-offs that I attached the sw fabric to the bottoms of):

Pillowcase dress (on which I learned french seams, ric-rac and bias tape):

Flat front "pirate pants" with pockets (made using a free tutorial that is almost as easy as the EasyFits!):

(Finn totally picked out both of the fabrics for these... cotton pants with flannel pirate pockets )

And WOW! after posting those I realize how blurry they all were ... sorry!!!

Im not sure what thread this was orignally on, but I did the shirts being sold on Etsy.

I found them, thanks!

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.

My Joanns told me they take Hobby Lobby the other day. I used about 4 coupons and she asked if I had any competitor coupons, which of course were in the car!! HL won't take anyone's coupons I just don't understand...of course their Disney fabric is almost ALWAYS 30% off!

Flat front "pirate pants" with pockets (made using a free tutorial that is almost as easy as the EasyFits!):

(Finn totally picked out both of the fabrics for these... cotton pants with flannel pirate pockets )

Where did you find the free tutorial? These are tooo cute!!!

 

[mphalens]

Where did you find the free tutorial? These are tooo cute!!!

Thanks! I found the tutorial at http://dana-made-it.com She has all kinds of stuff, but these are her kid pants with a flat front /kid pants with pockets,. She also has kid pants with elastic waist, kid pants with a lining, and kid shorts

If you like to have all of your instructions in front of you, be sure to print out the basic "kid pants" in addition to the flat front & pocket versions, because all of the tutorials are based on the basic "kid pant" ... even the pattern is just modified for the others ... I use my iPad, so I just had to flip between the three tutorials ... but if I needed a hard copy, I'd have to print them all

These are the smaller of the two pocket sizes she gives a pattern piece for ... Because I was using a totally different fabric I didn't want to make them TOO big ... Now that I've made these I'm picturing a pair of red cotton ones with some sort of nautical pockets and some big time contrasting stitching

Hey! RI & Southern MA (and anyone else for that matter!) Disboutiquers!!!

I'm only in town until July 5th ... we're heading out of town next weekend (to Glen Arbor, MI) but I was thinking ...

Does anyone want to get together and meet IRL??? There's got to be someplace somewhat central for all of us ... Maybe this get together could center around a fabric store, or not, I just thought it'd be cool to get to meet some peeps while I'm here

I was thinking early next week? Monday or Tuesday? I'd say this weekend, but we have family in town ...

So, anyone up for a Meet & Greet? Coffee? Lunch? Whatever!

I've been a lurked lately, sewing like crazy for our cruise. I'll post pics of the clothes later, but wanted to share my Fish Extender. The FE (as it's referred to on the DIS cruise forum) is to collect presents from other DISers on your DCL cruise, sort of a secret Santa thing. The ship has a fish outside of each cabin that CM's use to leave messages for the guests in each cabin...the FE is a series of pockets that allow for gifts to be left in, "extending" the fish. If this is confusing, hop on over to the cruise forum, I was clueless!

I made a pocket for each of us, with our fav character on it. Jay didn't really want to play along, but liked the Mickey Gator I created for him. He's a big UF Gator fan, but I wanted it to stay with the theme, so I had to get creative, lol.

I'm going to be at the Minneapolis airport July 23 & July 31 when i'm coming and going from Montana (to see the Disney-hating ILs )

Or wait, did you mean when I get to Michigan?

The Mickey Gator would be right up my DH's alley too We're big Gator fans (and the boys actually had Gator print Mickey head shirts on our last trip)

Ooooh! That's what those are! I saved a picture of one a while ago, but thought it was from an unfinished quilt top. Makes total sense.

What a fun bit of Disney magic for your cruise! Very cute!

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

Who are all the Disney Digitizers?

I know about HeatherSue, lotsofappliques, applicakes, Bows and Clothes, and now, Divas Doodles.

Are there others that have a good number of designs (not just 1 or 2)?

Regards,
C.
