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

[micksmoma]

Yes, I have done several with seersucker and they have turned out so cute! I don't have any pictures right now, but I can post some later if you'd like I love seersucker! Nice and light!

Please post the pictures. I would love to see them. Do you do anything special to the seersucker? Does it lay down good on the tshirts?

 

[DMGeurts]

The on line tut I found looks pretty similar to that hat, except one reviewer said the hat was all floppy and didn't fit right and it sounded really disappointing. I'm going to try it though. I can't make it reversible however since Bridget needs a soft lining. I'll make the brim with a coordinating fabric though. I hate to spend $ on a hat pattern b/c I don't think I'd get any use out of it.
.

Do you have the link for the hat tutorial? Maybe the person that made it from the tutorial didn't add interfacing to the flap portion? That's my first thought - and if the tutorial doesn't call for interfacing there - I'd add it, that should take care of the floppiness of the flap?

The hat I made from the pattern isn't reversible though - just lined... I lined mine in plain white cotton, but I would think that you could line it in any fabric you choose?? I like your idea of using flannel.

Hi to all,

I am new to the Disboutiquers thread and love all your work. It has been a while since I have actually made clothes and all my children are all grown up (I use to sew all their clothes and smocked my daughter's dresses) so I wanted to do a few things for myself. I wanted to make myself some tops and maybe do a little handiwork on the hem of some capris.

I just was wondering about applique on t-shirts. Do any of you have any special tips or hints? What kind of sewing machine do you use to do your applique? Do you recommend an embroidery machine?

I appreciated any help you have to offer.

Thanks so much,
Carla in VA

I think your question has been answered so I just want to say welcome!

I'm really for truly gonna sue Simplicity for false advertising. Then I'm buying Carla C's bowling shirt pattern just to get the instructions even though I have absolutely no one to sew a shirt in those sizes for.

OK, all done ranting and raving now.

Lori in East Podunk

Oh I am sorry to hear about the troubles you've had with the shirts. I am probably going to start making mine soon so hopefully they would turn out!

Y'all are so talented! I've been lurking on this forum for a while, and I can't get over the beautiful outfits so many of you create.

I would really like to get back to sewing, but I haven't done anything in about a decade. I have a 6 year old son and a 5 month old daughter, and I'd like to be able to sew things for them both. Our son is absolutely fanatical about wearing cute, coordinating clothes. (Seriously, this child wants his shirt, shorts, underpants, and socks to coordinate, preferably to match. Too many relatives have bought him too much from Gymboree and Janie and Jack over the years.) Our daughter has no opinion she is able to vocalize about her apparel yet, but I'm sure her brother will teach her to.

Some of the appliques I've seen on this board are stunning. I know this sounds like a completely stupid question, but how do you do it? Where would one start to learn to do this? Is there special equipment to buy that could make this easier? What about for embroidering? (I have done cross stitch, but I've never done hand embroidery.)

Anyway, I used to be able to sew a bit, but I'm so out of practice I hardly know where or how to begin again. I've seen people mention a couple of different websites where you can buy patterns. Back when I actually sewed (in the dark ages, clearly), I bought all my patterns at the store. How does buying them online work? I don't have a printer that could print something the size of the huge sheets I remember trying to refold and put back in the envelope.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Welcome! I am not sure if anyone answered your question about printing the online patterns. You just use a regular printer, cut out the pieces and tape them together.

WOW!! I am in such awe! I just got through reading all 106 pages of this thread! (it took me 2 days) Obviously there is just TMTQ. (I think I got that right. You all are just amazing!! I am a long time lurker on the Dis and my family has just recently been bitten by the Disney bug! For now we are only swinging it once a year (for the past 3 years) but I long for the day we can go twice a year! I have made a few posts and even one here in the disboutiquers section. Unfortunately sewing didn't really click for me until after our last trip. Which was in march so I have a loooong time to wait until our next trip. I can't wait though cause I will be a sewing fool as it draws near! Anyway I thought I would share some pictures of some of the recent items I have made. Sadly they are not all Disney.

The blurry spot on the last 3 pics is where my water mark was. I was unsure if it was against dis rules to have it on there so I just blurred it out.

This is a pic from our last vacation right before our breakfast at the castle. Making these dresses is when the whole sewing thing really clicked in my head and became more enjoyable than a headache! I used this tutorial http://makeit-loveit.com/2010/10/cinderella-dress-halloween-costume.html and it was fabulous!

Dresses I made for my cousins girls for their upcoming Disney World Trip

Just some fun non Disney sets

Thanks so much for looking and for being such an inspiration! I'm looking forward to spending a lot more time here!

Jeana

Good job on all the outfits. I really like the colour combination you used for the "fun" outfits.

I love it all... and your pictures are gorgeous! Great job.

I took a break from dolly sewing today, and I made the curtain for my sewing room... I love how it turned out, but I am a little disappointed that the diamonds on the top are lopsided - I was very careful when I was cutting and very careful when I was sewing - I am not sure what happened... but it doesn't look as horrible in real life - I promise.

D~

The cutains look great. I can't wait to see the finished room!

I did it! I did it! I made a pair of Easy Fits!!!!

Of course, after I cut them out (using "practice material we dug out of the depths of my mom's sewing closet ... once upon a time this material was bought to make AG Kirsten some clothes) I realized I hadn't cut them from my pattern piece, but from the taped together pieces you use to MAKE the pattern ... so they're a little short ... but not bad overall.

I used these as my "practice EVERYTHING" pair ... so I tried my hand at "hand applique" as well ... and I "decoupaged" the patches on with zig zag stitches, so the edges should fray nicely!

He's quite proud of his new pants, can you tell?

It looks like he really likes his new pants!

Ladies and Gents, for your amusement, the much anticipated photos of my sewing quadrant in the basement. Tomorrow will be two years in this house. When we moved in, the first year was Year of the Furniture, the second year was Year of the Lawn (looks like that will be a multi-year project) and the third year was going to be the Year of the Finished Basement. As we thought more about that, we decided what we really needed was the basement for storage, not living, so I've been gradually "making do" with my quadrant. It's not pretty, but it's mine

Welcome

There it is. My very functional (with the possible exception of electrical issues) sewing quadrant.

I don't know why some of the photos are so big. I tried resizing them, but sometimes photobucket has its own ideas.

Your sewing area looks great and it is so well organized. Mine is a mess. Oh and if you were interested in a bag from HKDL for your wall paper, let me know. I might have a tiny one from there.

Hi all! Remember me? Hi to all the new friends we have! I have been gone because to say life has been hectic is an understatement.

I did want to update those who have been around for a while. Last I was on, hospice had been called in for my FIL...DH had traveled to OH to visit and things were at the least, grim. Well...GOOD NEWS! Yesterday he was released from Hospice and it looks like he may be going back on the lung transplant list. He has agreed to allow his wife to call 911 if he has another attack, but he still will not agree to be intubated again. He has to have a few more test done in Cleveland next week and then hopefully he will be back on the list. He is up and walking and all. He says that when we arrive in OH week after next he wants to out to dinner with us to get out for a little. The kids are so excited!

My Grandmother that fell and fractured her pelvis is back home as of Tuesday and doing well. We told her no more standing on chairs! She did however cook my father an entire dinner last night with cake for dessert! She will not be put down....gosh I hope I am that way at 85!

I hope to get a little sewing done this next week before the kids get out of school. Great stuff you all of done...as always!

Welcome back. I was thinking about your family the other day. I am happy to hear that things are improving.

I finally have something to post. This is what I did yesterday for a first birthday party.

I signed Alexa up for a "Sewing without Stitches" class at our community college. They made no-sew fleece blankets. She was really proud of it. I tried to get her to hold it up for a pic but she wanted to wrap up in it.

I don't know why that posted upside down, I rotated it in photobucket!

Very cute Tigger outfit. It looks like Alexa may be ready for a "sewing WITH stitches" class!

Okay, I need your honest opinions. I coundnt find the Snow White fabric I wanted for the Give blanket I'm making, so I thought I'd try my first appliqué. I decided to do a simple silhouette and to practice it first. So, here it is. It's scrap fabric, so bear with the red bleeding through the super thin white.

Does it look okay? Can you tell who it is? My plan is to do the silhouette in yellow on blue fabric, and put a red ribbon bow on her head. Does that sound okay? Please be honest. Im not sure how to make her hands look less pointy. Lol I'm so uneasy since it's my very first appliqué... Here is a close up of some of it. I'm just using a regular ol machine.

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated. I don't want to make her something that looks bad.

You did a good job on the applique. I think adding a red ribbon bow will make it look perfect!

I e-mailed GKTW a couple of weeks ago to inquire about the possibility of using the tie-dye/marbelized flannel instead of a solid flannel and I finally received a reply today. Good news as this is the reply for those who are interested (I also posted this on the BG site):

Andrea,



Yeah, we are always looking for additional pillow angels!



As long as everything matches, marble/tie-dyed is great! As for the prints, as long as a child will enjoy them and everything matches, it will work J.



We prefer that you do not pre-wash first as some of our children might be allergic to a certain type of laundry detergent. However, if you have some material that is already pre-washed, just place them in a separate bag and mark as such.


Thanks so much and have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks so much for looking into this and posting your findings!

So I finally have pictures of my models in their outfits!!!! The girls looked so cute, and they wore their skirts to church at the beach and got lots of questions and comments about them!

It looks like they enjoyed wearing their new outfits!

As most of you know my son is in the USAF and stationed in OK with my DIL and my 2 grandchildren.My grandson will be 1 yr on Sunday. DH and I are saving every penny to host all 8 of us in Disney for 10 days in Sept so we couldn't spend the $1000 it would cost the 2 of us to fly out for the weekend. My oldest Dd decided she was going so we bought a ticket for our youngest (just turned 18) DD and the two of them went out today and will be back on Monday. basically they are there for the weekend. My Grandaughter will be 3 the first week of July so the plan was to celebrate both birthdays this weekend.

Here are a few outfits I sent for the kids.
I posted this before but the picture was small and a few of you asked for a larger pic.
Carla's reversible romper

Carla's newest pattern...

Edward's first birthday, a T-shirt with denim easy fit shorts

Emily's birthday outfit.

And the last one is my youngest with my granddaughter when they arrived. Emily was so happy to see them. 89 days untill I can hold her like this1

Great job on everything. I am sure the 89 days will go by very quickly!

Love Everyones Creations. I finally finished a couple of small projects. My son finishes up Kindergarten next week so I have been trying to get some end of the year gifts made. He had such a wonderful year that I wanted to thank all the teachers. I decided to make sunglass cases for his specials teachers. I still need to come up with something for his music teacher, because it is a man. (I don't think he would appreciate this. LOL) Now I just need to finish up his classroom teachers.

I appliqued this beach towel for a birthday party my son is going to tomorrow. I think this is such a cute little Rapunzel. I am a little disappointed in the quality of towels Target put out this year. It seems like in the past they were much better.

The eyeglasses case is a great idea. The applique is very cute!

Well I shared the couple outfits I have made recently, but I figured I might as well share what started it all for me! Custom Hair Bows. I tried and tried to find pics of the bows I made for our last Disney trip but every angle pic I had didn't do anything for seeing the bows. Apparently I was more interested in my kiddos.

Anyway here are a couple of my latest creations....

I just realized that I did not take my watermark off of these pictures. If this is not allowed please let me know and I will redo the pics.

Thanks,
Jeana

Cute bows! I really like the second one!

I lost the quote, but here are two appliques I did with seersucker, on the Bunny one, only the wheels were seersucker I had no problems with it, I have washed the bunny one a ton and had no problems, the turtle was for a gift for my cousin's new baby and she loves it. It didn't pucker, it laid well. I didn't do anything different then I have done for any other applique. Good luck

Thanks so much. I will give it a try. I will post pictures when I get them done. I knew someone would know how to do it. This is the most helpful site I have ever used.

Andrea, if you are looking for embroidery designs for older kids, I love Urban Threads, they have some great stuff.

Thanks -- I have another friend who recommended them to me as well.

This the tut I am referring to and this is the one and only comment:

http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2009/07/how-to_sew_a_reversible_sun_ha.html
Cute & Easy Pattern, Bad Fit
This pattern was easy enough to draft and super easy to follow and sew. However, while the finished hat is very cute, there is no real "fit" to it. It would have to have ties to stay on a child's head, and even then, would be too big. After following the child pattern measurements and using 100% cotton fabric, it is loose even on me. Needs to be a little more snug for it to fit nicely, and smaller to fit at all.

Looking at the pattern pieces shown, the adult pattern is only wider at the top and brim, and a little taller. The circumference, however, is the same as the child's hat. No wonder it is way too big.

There is no interfacing on the brim b/c the brim is a part of the hat. I think I can figure out how to add interfacing though and will try it with a lightweight interfacing to start with. I think you want the brim to have that wavy appearance though and too heavy an interfacing would take away from it. I also wonder if the review was trying to make a hat for a small child. Bridget is 10 so I think the child pattern would work. I think I may just add optional ties (with buttonholes) in case it's really floppy. I'll try it on my 7 y/o with a tiny head and hopefully can bribe my 9 yo ds with a quarter to try it on as he has a bigger head (chances are he'll demand a dollar though!).

I remember the bunny but not the turtle -- it's very cute and I was contemplating buying that applique design. I will add it to my next order. I love how you did your turtle in a frame as well

Greetings from WDW! DH got a rare weekend off and requested a short stay at the Beach Club. Who was I to say no?! lol

Rebecca asked for something Toy Story, and I managed to get this done at the last minute. She can wear it on the cruise too. It's a Simply Sweet with a tiers skirt to make it twirl well. We recieved tons of compliments yesterday, even from other kids who kept shouting "it's Jessie!". I love th SS pattern, this went together in just over 2, uninterrupted because everyone was asleep, hours.

I get it now... I wasn't having the right visual... I have no idea how you'd add an interfacing to that pattern - unless you were able to trace a ring after you'd partially assembled the hat???

I hope you're able to negotiate that dollar with your ds.

I love this - I am so partial to TS dresses! It's so cute!

[DMGeurts]

OK - so now that I am looking closer at the dress... How did you do the top portion? Are the yellow and white two seperate pieces? Or did you applique the yellow on to the white? It looks so perfect - especially where they meet.

Thanks! It's appliqué. I printed out another bodice pattern piece, cut it to the shape I wanted and stuck it down with heat and bond lite. I had pulled up a pic of Jessie to get the red trim design, and noticed the yoke was edged in red, so I did the satin stitch red. Super easy, and I'm really happy with how it looks. Also when I looked at the pic online, she has a big gold trimmed white button under the yoke...it's not quite as big, but I found a single similar button in the button collection I inherited from my mom. Silly, but it made me happy.

 

[cogero]

I love the seersucker outfits and the jessie outfit is just too too cute.

I actually have something to share. This is a quick shirt I made DD for International Day she wanted something blue and saw this in my stash. It is pre-shirred so I just needed to sew a straight seam and add the ribbon.

Here are the 2 machines on the table we made. The table sits on 2 expedit shelves from IKEA I am going to put some of my fabric and projects in progress on the bookshelf and todays project is to clean the wall.There were bookcases across there for years.

I love seeing your machines... which ones are they again? Isn't it sad that I love to see everyone's machines? LOL Have you set up your serger yet?

[jeniamt]

Greetings all! I haven't posted in awhile as this is a crazy time of year for everyone in my house and I just haven't been doing my normal amount of sewing (or DIS lurking!) When I do pop in I am as amazed as always by what everyone is creating.

Question for those who have used HeatherSue's Facebook store... how long does it take to get the designs? I ordered a few on Thursday and haven't received anything yet. I am assuming the designs would be emailed to me. Is that correct? Thanks, I would like to jump back into sewing by signing up for a Give but as I'm still getting use to my new machine, I wanted to sew out a design before I signed up for it.

 

[cogero]

You should receive your order with in 24 hours. Anytime it hasn't gotten to me with in 24hours I just drop her an email and she resends it for me.

Oh, it's so cute! I cannot wait to make a SS. There are so many possibilities. Have fun at BC. we went up last weekend and stayed there and had a fabulous time. I'm hooked.

OK - so now that I am looking closer at the dress... How did you do the top portion? Are the yellow and white two seperate pieces? Or did you applique the yellow on to the white? It looks so perfect - especially where they meet.

I'm thinking this exact same thing. The top is perfect!

THANK YOU! The bodice really makes the dress stand out. And I noticed the button right away and thought to myself it's just like Jessie's! Again, I love this dress.

Those are great! You make the best coordinating outfits for your kids!

Thanks

I finally have something to post. This is what I did yesterday for a first birthday party.

I signed Alexa up for a "Sewing without Stitches" class at our community college. They made no-sew fleece blankets. She was really proud of it. I tried to get her to hold it up for a pic but she wanted to wrap up in it.

I don't know why that posted upside down, I rotated it in photobucket!

So cute. I love the blanket.

I decided to do a simple silhouette and to practice it first. So, here it is. It's scrap fabric, so bear with the red bleeding through the super thin white.

Great job. I could tell right away who it was.

So I finally have pictures of my models in their outfits!!!! The girls looked so cute, and they wore their skirts to church at the beach and got lots of questions and comments about them!

Love the outfits. Looks like you has such beautiful weather.

Thanks everyone for the compliments on my Jamie dress!

I got to put the dress to use today! I met... wait for it... JENNIFER PAGANELLI today! At a book signing event in Atlanta. I happen to be here for a conference, so I was able to get to the store for her event. She is a SWEETHEART! I absolutely loved meeting her!

Great photo. Does she know about the DISboards

As most of you know my son is in the USAF and stationed in OK with my DIL and my 2 grandchildren.My grandson will be 1 yr on Sunday. DH and I are saving every penny to host all 8 of us in Disney for 10 days in Sept so we couldn't spend the $1000 it would cost the 2 of us to fly out for the weekend.

And the last one is my youngest with my granddaughter when they arrived. Emily was so happy to see them. 89 days untill I can hold her like this1

Love all the outfits but this last pic is so precious

Well I shared the couple outfits I have made recently, but I figured I might as well share what started it all for me! Custom Hair Bows. I tried and tried to find pics of the bows I made for our last Disney trip but every angle pic I had didn't do anything for seeing the bows. Apparently I was more interested in my kiddos.

Anyway here are a couple of my latest creations....

I just realized that I did not take my watermark off of these pictures. If this is not allowed please let me know and I will redo the pics.
Thanks,

WOW those are great bows. As for the watermark I have seen other Pics on different threads with them on so I don't think it's a problem.

Question: Do any of you know of any fabric lines that would be suitable for boy/girl coordinating outfits?

I would really love to have some advice or additional ideas for this project... Oh and a sneaky way of finding out their sizes would be good too.

Thanks everyone!

I've seen the pink and green John Deere fabric at Joannes and online. Or maybe you could make the mom a Rosetta bag with pink John Deere fabric.

Those came out cute. Thanks for posting them.

That dress is adorable. Thanks for posting how you did the bodice as I was wondering how you did the top too. It came out great.

Question for those who have used HeatherSue's Facebook store... how long does it take to get the designs? I ordered a few on Thursday and haven't received anything yet. I am assuming the designs would be emailed to me. Is that correct? Thanks, I would like to jump back into sewing by signing up for a Give but as I'm still getting use to my new machine, I wanted to sew out a design before I signed up for it.

I usually get mine within a few hours and they are emailed to me. I know she posted on FB she was having some problems so I would email her and let her know you didn't get it.

Greetings all! I haven't posted in awhile as this is a crazy time of year for everyone in my house and I just haven't been doing my normal amount of sewing (or DIS lurking!) When I do pop in I am as amazed as always by what everyone is creating.

I would check your spam or junk folder. First time I ordered from Heather, that's where mine were. I just added her email to my address book after and they no longer wind up there.

Rebecca asked for something Toy Story, and I managed to get this done at the last minute. She can wear it on the cruise too. It's a Simply Sweet with a tiers skirt to make it twirl well. We recieved tons of compliments yesterday, even from other kids who kept shouting "it's Jessie!". I love th SS pattern, this went together in just over 2, uninterrupted because everyone was asleep, hours.

Adorable! What a fun way to spend the weekend!

I love the seersucker outfits and the jessie outfit is just too too cute.

I actually have something to share. This is a quick shirt I made DD for International Day she wanted something blue and saw this in my stash. It is pre-shirred so I just needed to sew a straight seam and add the ribbon.

Here are the 2 machines on the table we made. The table sits on 2 expedit shelves from IKEA I am going to put some of my fabric and projects in progress on the bookshelf and todays project is to clean the wall.There were bookcases across there for years.

I love the preshirred top. How do you calculate how much yardage to buy for one? That is something I would not want to overbuy for since it's pricier. I bought some elastic thread a month or two ago b/c I really wanted to try shirring and I have yet to try it

I would send her an e-mail. I also requested a design for a BG from her and just e-amiled her for it. I told her I couldn't promise I could even make it work for that particular give as I was new to my machine, but knew I would use it in the future. Fortunately my machine likes me so I was able to get it done for the particular give I wanted it for.

BRIDGET"S BIG GIVE HELP PLEASE!!!

If anyone is making an outfit for Bridget could you please post your fabrics on the BG site. I would like to attempt at least a couple of hats and am hoping to coordiante with her outfits. Thanks so much! Obviously if you are already making a hat with your outfit you don't need to post fabrics. I have two outfits in specific I'd like to do: Dianemom2 and either effervescent or kstgelais4
~ I'll pm you ladies over there as well, but if all goes well I may attempt more than two hats so all others feel free to post plans/fabrics and I will try to help out.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone, I did send her an email yesterday since it looked like she was having some issues with her FB page. I even included a copy of the PayPal receipt in the email. And I checked my spam folder, still nothing. I'm guessing she must be really busy since she was offering 35% off. Just stinks b/c I am losing my sewing window today! Oh well, I should be cleaning my house and folding laundry!
