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

[dianemom2]

A while back I saw a precious boys shirt that had "Princess Protection" on it. I would love to make something similar for my nephew for their trip. If it was yours or you know where the pic is would you please share with me? THANKS!!

I love your fabric!!!! So cute - is it from Joann's??

I bought the fabric last month at Hancock. They had some really cute stuff in there. I tend not to shop there as much because Joanns is closer and I think they have better prices.

I saw that YCMT is having another sale. You just type in the coupon code PRINCESS at checkout to get 15% off.

I have a few things to share. We went away for Easter Vacation. I made my girls a few custom tops-

Incredibles set is looking for a home. Although . . . I really love it so it might find a home in my DD's closet.

That is ADORABLE!

Thanks Adi - that is my Hannah!!!! She's going to be 5 in June!! Dont blink or they grow up before you know it!!!

It is insane how fast they grow up.

I knew I would mess up that multi-quote thing!

I have seen the design on Etsy. I think it is really cute!

The Skirt Pattern is an Insa, from the 'Sewing Clothes kids love' book. I love the book, but as I'm no expert, I find it difficult at times to follow. Saying that I have just cut out the dress pieces to make a Feliz party Dress from the same book....I do however need to work out how to do the ruffles for the back, as these are not in the book.

Confession: I actually had purchased the book in December and after reading through it I returned it. I see the beautiful creations everyone makes but it just seemed to difficult for me

Here is a little dress that I finished today.

Here are the pictures of my new sewing room. I still have to get hubby to move my wall mounted thread racks. When we get a little extra $$$ I will do some actual decorating in there. Maybe paint and spiff it up a little bit.

Great dress but I really love all your space.

newsI have sad, sad news
I've been trying to meet multiple commitments sewing wise this week- finished 4 burp cloths for cupcakes, 2 big brother t shirts, made dd a new shirt and turned her previous dress into a matching skirt, and then IT happened... I was getting ready to start ds's shirt, and he walked in and said- mom, I'm not wearing that- customs are for babies! Oh, my heart

NO Customs...NO Disney

Did you guys see these yet? So CUTE and hopefully more comfie than the plasticy shoes at the parks!

http://www.crocs.com/crocs-sparkle-...8,default,pd.html?cid=001&cgid=girls-footwear

I did see those and was so tempted to purchase them for DD, but my mom just purchased the Birki sandals for her so DH so no more shoes!

That's adorable. What I really want are a pair of the Disney Birkenstock sandals but they are like $100!

I did splurge on them, but I am trying to break them in for our trip in July because I have NEVER spent that much on shoes before.

I have a few things to share. We went away for Easter Vacation. I made my girls a few custom tops-

Since we have been home I was able to finish two things.

Incredibles set is looking for a home. Although . . . I really love it so it might find a home in my DD's closet.

As always everything is beautiful!

Those are much cuter, IMO, than regular crocs. I actually am not fond of regular crocs and my children's schools never allowed them so it was never issue for us with the kids wanting any. Instead I just forked over big bucks for light up Twinkle Toes b/c according to my dd all the kids at school have them. When I picked her up yesterday I did a kid's feet inventory and didn't see a single pair! They need to make some Disney Twinkle Toes! I have a pair of Mary Jane crocs that are really cute (fortunatley the teeth marks from a puupy barely show) but they aren't as comfy as I expected.

I spent months last year trying to get those Twinkle toe shoes for DD. It was a bribe since we moved her out of the bigger room so her brothers could have it and she got the smaller one.

Here's the final product:

D~

Looks great.... and have fun painting.

Don't forget about pillowcases for GKTW.

That's alot of sewing. Great job on the pillows.

Here is the stripwork jumper. I decided to put the ruffle at the top after all. I felt like it needed a pop of the orange up there to tie in with the orange on the bottom.

I like the ruffle too. It came out great.



AND my wonderful DH has the day off from school tomorrow and said I can sew all day and he would take care of the kids. With only 84 days to go and still alot to do I am getting a little paniky.

Please pray for my state. We spent quite a bit of time in our safe closet tonight as a huge tornado passed within just a few miles of our house. The amount of HUGE hail we got was amazing. It was as though we had an ice machine in our yard! I am half afraid that our new roof is destroyed!!!

Other areas of our state were hit very hard with tornadoes touching down tonight! There are at least 3 fatalities confirmed and dozens of people in critical condition. Initial reports are saying an F5 hit one of our small towns and leveled most of it -- destroying 50-80 houses. They haven't been able to confirm it yet due to roads being blocked by major trees that were knocked down. The first responders are asking for able bodied volunteers with chainsaws to come help rescue trapped people. It is just awful! Just 10 miles away several schools were destroyed as well as houses. It was as though tornadoes were EVERYWHERE tonight.

This all comes on the heals of a horrible storm 2 weeks ago that killed 7 people in our state -- including our neighbor's sister and 7 year old nephew when a tree fell on their house. They found him cradled in his mom's arms -- they figure the storms scared him and mom climbed in bed with him to help him sleep. The 18 month old little girl was still asleep in her crib when our neighbor (her aunt) found her the next morning. And then we had storms again last week that caused more damage -- we lost a tree in the storms. It hit our neighbor's house but thankfully with minor damage -- fence and gutter.

And they are predicting more storms tomorrow night....

Oh my! I am sorry to hear about the destruction that has occurred due to the storms. I will continue to pray for families being affected by the storms.

You've all been so busy...I've only been away for the weekend, I come back and there is a new thread.....to page 11..wow

Love all the outfits, you are all so clever

Here are some I have made for our september trip...

DD6 in her Cinderella work dress ( to wear to the BBB)

In her Cinderella inspired Dress ( love CarlaC her instructions were fab)

Animal Kingdom Skirt and Top. I found the skirt quite tricky, I'm not that experienced and fine Carla's patterns much easier to follow

This is dress is for Chef de France, no model as I still have a bit of work to do on it, but love the material and like the way it has turned out.

Still have quite afew outfits and tshirts to do, but pleased I've made a start.

Great outfits!

UPDATE ON DS
DS just called and they are through with the procedure. His cancer was right below his temple along the hair line. They had to cut all the way to the jaw line in order to get a flap to close the incision. He did find out it was less than 1mm deep, about a 1/2mm, so that is good news. Anything 1mm or deeper runs a higher risk of it going to lymph nodes. He can't shower, lift, bend over or lay flat for 48 hours. Good thing he likes to sleep in the recliner! The doctor did tell him that melanoma, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer are all connected. So I guess I'm to blame, since I'm a breast cancer survivor.

Thank you everyone for all of the prayers!

Glad to hear that it was small and was caught early. Please don't blame yourself for what happened!

another little recycled dress I finished up last night. I really like these, too bad I don't have any little girls in the family to give them too, and the boys really don't want to wear them

The t-shirt part reminds me of the waiting area for the Nemo ride!

Here is a little dress that I finished today.

Here are the pictures of my new sewing room. I still have to get hubby to move my wall mounted thread racks. When we get a little extra $$$ I will do some actual decorating in there. Maybe paint and spiff it up a little bit.

I really like the dress! Wow you have a beautiful sewing space!

I have a question about the stripwork jumper. Do most of you put the ruffle on the top of the bodice or just leave it off? I am not sure what I want to do with it.

I have not done a stripwork jumper with that ruffle. I guess I like the "cleaner" look around the neckline better. I am sure it is just a case of personal preference though, since I have seen lots of dresses that look great with the ruffle.

newsI have sad, sad news

Since we have been home I was able to finish two things.

Incredibles set is looking for a home. Although . . . I really love it so it might find a home in my DD's closet.

This was custom for a little girl. It was so much fun to make a itty bitty outfit!

Looks like your family had a great trip. The other customs are beautiful like usual!

Thanks everyone for your help and advise yesterday.

I ended up cutting both side seams of the skirt - taking it in about a half inch on each side. Then I cut off the bottom ruffle, hemmed up the underskirt so it only hangs down under that last ruffle about an inch. Then I flipped the front panel inside out and rehemmed it to where the new last ruffle measured out to - trimmed all the excess frabric to 1/4". I had dd try it on, and then I top stitched. Considering how much I had to rework it, I think it turned out great!

And for the record - dd picked out this fabric. I told them they could choose their own fabrics, I didn't like this one as much as some others, but it was dd's favorite - and DH said it was OK - so that's what she got.

Here's the final product:

Now, I am heading upstairs to put the 2nd coat of pain on the sewing room and my next project will be my oldest dd's skirt. Once I get all these skirts done, then I can go back to sewing dolly clothes and BGs.

D~

I like the colour combination. I am glad you were able to make the necessary changes to make the skirt fit well.

Thanks!!!

Matilda Jane can be a bit pricey but it's addictive! LOL The straightees are beyond comfy. My girls don't wear pants but they love these!

It's Princess Week in our house. So, here is Ariel . . .

I am sure lots of little girls would love to have that outfit!

Don't forget about pillowcases for GKTW.

Joann has solid flannel on sale for $2.49/yard, this Saturday, 4/30

Wow you have been very busy! I am sure GKTW will be delighted with your wonderful gift!

Here is the stripwork jumper. I decided to put the ruffle at the top after all. I felt like it needed a pop of the orange up there to tie in with the orange on the bottom.

Good job. Am I the only one sensing an orange theme in the last couple of days?

I bought the fabric last month at Hancock. They had some really cute stuff in there. I tend not to shop there as much because Joanns is closer and I think they have better prices.

Thanks for the YCMT code - though I am sure my wallet won't be happy about that!

Wow -already on thread 25!!! So many beautiful creations!!!

And a little OT - I hope your children leave the "bling" on the customs - my 7 yr old spent the day at the ENT removing a "jewel" that had ended up in her ear!! That is one expensive rhinestone now!!!

 

[mommy2mrb]

Hope everyone who is in the storms path tonight stays safe!

LOL, my Special Needs son had a habit of putting beads in his ear. We were averaging a visit a week to the er. He even had his own ER doc! Luckily he finally outgrew that !

Hope everyone who is in the storms path tonight stays safe!

I have my daughter and son in law spending the night in our basement tonight. My two youngest are asleep on the couches in the livingroom so we can make a quick trip down. One of my other sons is on his way to visit for the night. My oldest son and his family aren't concerned....hopefully they will be fine!

I have been watching the news ever since we got in from church tonight...lots of praying going on in our house to see if we can pray it away...so far, not much luck!

Princess Week continues . . . Here is the sister set to match Ariel.

I was super excited today because I did some Disney reservations. Today I booked the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, the Pirates League and the Wonderland Tea Party. My girls have been lucky enough to do these activities before but I am still super excited they get to this summer.

In discussing "theoretical" WDW BBB trips my girls both decided they wanted that horrible fake pink hair. I had to take a big girl pill and remember it's their makeover and they get to choose. LOL For goodness sakes I can't have them saying in 15 years "remember the time Mom wouldn't let us get fake pink hair."

 

[squirrel]

Confession: I actually had purchased the book in December and after reading through it I returned it. I see the beautiful creations everyone makes but it just seemed to difficult for me

I got my copy for Christmas. I too have looked through the book and it's sitting on my shelf. I'm also a little scared to try it out. The patterns do seem more complicated.

I'm not taking it back, I'm just waiting a bit until I feel ready to try one. Maybe after I try making my own pattern like the Vida.

=) Glad I am not alone. I am still trying to find time to try the Feliz. I did the Vida and it turned out very well, I was so proud of myself. My problem is finding the time! Between Etsy orders, my 3 kids and DH, homeschooling my oldest, cleaning house and working part time as a RN I am completely out of time! One of these days I will try it.... just have to get brave and get time

Oh dear! I'm sure the inside of her ear sparkles now! My dd swallowed a penny when she was three or four years old. There are two things NOT to swallow -- pennies and batteries. She did it b/c she watching the Curious George show where he swallowed a puzzle piece and got to go to the hospital and she wanted the attention of going to the hospital. We just went to the clinic and she hated getting an x-ray so she never swallowed a thing after that (and it was already in her intestine -- frankly we didn't even know if we should believe her or not, but it was there).

I am normally not fond of SW as I just don't like the colors, but I think yours is one of the prettiest I have ever seen!
I was actually happy that my dd didn't want to go to BBB. I think she thought the obligatory bun was the only hairstyle you could get and she hates buns, which is why Cinderella does not rank as a favorite princess of hers. Anyhoo, very sorry about the anticipated pink hair.

I bought mine right before Christmas. It sat on the shelf until about a month ago when I pulled out the Feliz just to trace the curve on the neckline onto a variation of a SS I was making. I really want to make the Dtorje (?sp) trousers in a corduroy I have and want to make the Insa, but I am scared The Vida was easy b/c I had two tuts to help out. I do really want to try the Insa skirt as well.

 

[DMGeurts]

D- skirt came out great!! I hope she loves it and wears it alot after all the trouble you went to!!

That dress is adorable! So is the baby - of course!

Thanks - I hope she wears it a lot too.

I love this! Sorry about the pink hair... maybe some day they'll be embarassed about it - then you can laugh.

Thanks!!!

Matilda Jane can be a bit pricey but it's addictive! LOL The straightees are beyond comfy. My girls don't wear pants but they love these!

It's Princess Week in our house. So, here is Ariel . . .

Ariel is so cute!

Sorry, I didn't quote the pics from your trip - but everything is adorable... it's so fun seeing them in matching outfits! I loved matching my girls when they were little - for that matter - they matched every day of their lives until they were about 5 or 6... it was so much fun!

Here is the stripwork jumper. I decided to put the ruffle at the top after all. I felt like it needed a pop of the orange up there to tie in with the orange on the bottom.

I love this fabric! What a fun dress!

"coat of pain" perfect name for painting!! Or was this a typo?

I love the skirt. Did it come from YCMT?

LOL - it was a typo - but a fitting typo.

that Came out really cute. What pattern was it again?

Yes, the skirt was from YCMT - I believe it's the Audrey ruffle skirt. Honestly, the most time consuming part was ruffling and putting the ruffles on... remaking the skirt only took me about a half hour.


Put the "stripes" on the paint in the sewing room last night - I am anxious to pull the tape off this morning and get some new photos. Next up is the new carpet, and then DH will be installing the counter top - which is all cut to size and ready to go in... I am cautiously estimating that maybe by the weekend, I'll be able to move in - but it will really depend on DH's ambition level.

[RMAMom]

You do such a wonderful job I love how everything you make has such a fresh look



That is an adorable dress and super adorable little girl Wendy!

I might just have to stop trash talking my Wal-Mart...I went there tonight to grab dishwashing detergent and snuch over to the crafting department just to see if the remodel was bringing anything new with it and lo and behold!! FABRIC!! I didn't buy anything, because I'm making myself use up some of my stash but they had quite a few Disney prints and some really pretty florals too... I'll stop being a bitter betty about the whole fabric thing as long as they promise to keep things well stocked. I'm probably going to end up kicking myself for not grabbing some Disney stuff while it's still there.

Where did y'all find that Mickey Comic Strip fabric? I've looked everywhere and no luck.

I found my Mickey Comic Strip at Joanns.

Wow -already on thread 25!!! So many beautiful creations!!!

Beautiful!! "Doe White" is my 2 yr old grand daughters favorite!

My thoughts and prayers to all of you affected by the storms, they are headed here to the north east today but shouldn't amount to more than strong thunder storms. Just heartbreaking for all involved.

 

[Zeebs]

WOW you all have been doing such lovely stuff. I am getting inspired as I read,

I have managed to thread my sewing machine and have tried doing some squiggly lines on a piece of muslin just to practise my actual stitching, didn't look too bad actually.

The only arty thing I have done is fashion Cullen a top hat for his Royal Wedding Party today at school. Made it out of black card, the flower button hole fell off and broke before he had even left the house. But the hat stayed on for the entire walk to school which was great.

Look forward to seeing lots more pictures of all your great stuff.

Good thoughts go with all those who need them as well. Especially wanted to comment on the "it must be my fault" on her son getting cancer. You know that it isn't and if your parents had said that line when you got it you would have been very upset, please don't blame yourself.

When I made my first (because of being on this thread a few years ago) pillowcase dresses, I actually just used the width of a dress that fit the girls and then winged it to make Minnie Pillowcase Dresses. The Minnie patch on the front is actually one of those iron on patches that you get for fixing the knees in pants - I just cut it into the shape of a Mickey head - lol....

Wendy the dress is great, but those cheeks are just adorable!

Don't forget about pillowcases for GKTW.

Joann has solid flannel on sale for $2.49/yard, this Saturday, 4/30

Thanks for the heads up on flannel I am going to grab some flannel Saturday and try the pillow cases sometime soon.

Here is the stripwork jumper. I decided to put the ruffle at the top after all. I felt like it needed a pop of the orange up there to tie in with the orange on the bottom.

Love it.

I saw that YCMT is having another sale. You just type in the coupon code PRINCESS at checkout to get 15% off.

Thanks! I have an ever growing wish list on YCMT.

Good job. Am I the only one sensing an orange theme in the last couple of days?

I noticed that, too. I usually don't gravitate towards orange, but I love seeing the combinations you have all come up with. It's so summery.

Beautiful Snow White!
As far as BBB, I always giggle inside when I see the girls with dark hair come out with the blonde ponytails. I am surprised my dd9 has not wanted the blonde hair in our past trips. I guess they think it is more princess-y.
The first time my older DD did BBB, she did the "star" one with crazy hair. She was 10 or 11 at he time, so it was really ok with me. Plus she wasn't in Princess attire. The day my now 9 yo wants to change from princess will make me cry. Right now she still loves it, and I know I am lucky because she's still into them at 9.
Your girls will look fabulous with pink hair.

CUTE everything! But, I am especially lovin' the Jessie outfit!

OK - so I couldn't resist showing you all the stripes I put in my sewing room last night - they turned out so awesome - if I do say so myself!

Please keep in mind that we are still "under construction" though - it's a mess!

And with my curtain/sewing machine cover fabric:
