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

[jas0202]

And...OT...but, is it just me who is jealous that the DisDads get their own subforum, and we're on thread #25 and don't have one? Color me Green with envy...

 

[babynala]

I bought a basic black t-shirt from Michael's that I put an applique on. It is fairly boxy and I want to try and make it more girly but I'm not sure what to do with it. Any suggestions? TIA

 

[PurpleEars]

We got to ride the Star Wars ride today it officially opens the 20th they wont let you take any pictures yet let me say it was awsome

Oh, this is making me look forward to our next trip even more! Thanks for sharing!

WOW!!! You are on a roll with the Jaimie!!! I love this one too!!! Really really pretty!!! I haven't actually worn my Jaimie dress yet, I'm trying to find a little jacket or sweater to wear with it.

The Lego shirt is so cute!!!! Love that little guy!



We had SUCH a good time!!!! Seriously, I think it was one of our most enjoyable trips ever. And, we didn't even go to a Disney park! We are planning our big family trip next May. We are hoping to surprise my SIL Barbara (the one with Stage 4 breast cancer) with a special hotel. shhh... it's a secret! Let's just say, she wants to go to Hawaii, so Corey had an idea about the perfect Disney hotel for her (the Poly) We are hoping to get enough money around to pay for at least a few nights for them. Corey has already said he will pay for one night. He's such a great kid.

Thanks for the compliment on the dress and the embroidery (I know a few others commented on them as well - so thanks as well. It really makes me feel good to receive positive comments from here!). I think that's all the Jamie dresses I'll do for now. My next project is to upgrade my Minnie Rosetta to *gasp* a large one! I use my bag as a carry-on bag too so it has to be big enough for the laptop. The last version was barely big enough and the zipper was almost busted on the way home! I guess I will be "the one who carries a large bag at the parks even though she does not have children's gear to tote around."

I think it is very sweet that Corey has offered to pay for one night. You did a great job as a parent raising him to be someone so caring. I am happy to hear that Barbara is responding well to treatment. I hope she will countinue to do well and get to enjoy that special treat!

Hopefully I can get this to post right...

I started this quilt as a class project, didn't like the way it was going and quit. Once I got my embroidery machine, I ripped out all the applique and started again with my machine.

I put it on the long arm and had major problems with the thread. It kept breaking every few inches. So, after it was finished, I ripped out the stitches to redo. Fast forward to a year later, and I FINALLY finished the quilting and the binding. I was planning on giving it to a casual friend. (one of the moms at therapy) But I really like the way it turned out.

So my question is...should I get mom a different baby gift and sell this one? Or go with my original plan and give this as a gift?

Crossing fingers to see if the picture actually loaded here...



Nini (feeling slightly selfish at the moment..

I can see why you don't want to give it to a casual friend after the amount of work you've put into it. If she doesn't know about your plans, I would just make something else for her.

Here is the shirt I did for Trace's big give:

You did a great job on it!

Finally getting around to post some pics. I finished my 1st Simply Sweet I needed to upsize it to a 10 and it fits DD

Here are some outfits for the boys:

Here's some outfits for our AK day:

These are all HeatherSues designs and they are just too cute

Now I need to go back and see what I missed the last few days.

You did a good job on all the outfits. I have to say I like the Simply Sweet the best (but of course I am biased being a Minnie fan)

Hello All-

After many years of following this thread- I finally actually made almost all of our customs for our last trip. We just got home last weekend- and we had a ball! I made customs for our 5 yr old daughter, and our friends' 3 yr old. The girls got lots of compliments and I think most of the outfits are headed back in June with some more family friends!

Here are a few quick pics:

Here are their Animal Kingdom pillowcase dresses and matching hair wraps:

Magic Kingdom- Mickey T and Twirl- I have ZERO pictures of my own kid in this outfit!

Hollywood STudios- I did not make the skirt- it's TCP.

Epcot

I made a Minnie hair wrap for myself-

Thanks for all of the inspiration- can't wait to do it again next trip

Looks like your family had a great time. I can't wait to see what you create for your next trip!

Mickey pjs for my nephews. I made two sets of these but I only got pictures of one set.

This Cinderella work dress I saw on here a few weeks ago. I just loved it! I had to make on for my little niece to play in!

My husband says that this is the cutest thing I've ever made. But I can't take credit for it. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration on here!!!

Oh I think that slipper on the dress look great! Good job!

 

[cogero]

okay I am finally beginning to catch up after being gone last week.

My project is to clean my sewing area and rearrange things.

I need to make a list of our August Outfits and get sewing it is now99 days for our trip and I have one pair of shorts for DS cut out.

 

[DMGeurts]

And...OT...but, is it just me who is jealous that the DisDads get their own subforum, and we're on thread #25 and don't have one? Color me Green with envy...

I am a bit jealous too...

But I look at it this way... I miss seeing stuff posted as it is. If we had our own sub-forum, and in turn, had our own threads - I could see where I could miss something.

OTOH - Disboards would reduce their bandwith by a considerable amount, because we wouldn't have to quote each photo numerous times - we could just reply to a thread.

Thought provoking... I wonder if Disboards would give us our own sub-forum if enough of us wanted it?

[VBAndrea]

Maybe I got it right this time. Shorts and tshirt.

That is adorable!

Once I could see Teresa's enlarged pic I would say way too much work went into that to give as a gift for a casual friend. That's a gift for a relative.

Here is the shirt I did for Trace's big give:

Looks awesome -- he should love it!

Everything is great! I'm glad the upsize on the SS worked for you. I upsized one for a BG and it ended up a little too big (though the girl loved it and it wasn't bad enough that she couldn't wear it). I love all the appliques you chose and how well the kids will coordinate.

I *think* everything looks adorable but I really would love bigger pictures so I could see them better!

Here is what I have been working on in the last week:

Fabulous job! And what a nice dh -- sometimes mine doesn't even notice new outfits!

Since it was someone on here that got me addicted to these key fobs, I thought I would post the ones I made for teacher gifts. (yes, I am cheap. with 10 teachers, key fobs is all they got!)

And, I'm hoping the picture is coming out large enough (the real reason I am posting this! LOL) I am attempting to use Teressa's instructions... but then again, I never have been good at doing what I am told!

Nini

The pic turned out good, so you are indeed a good listeneer! I hope the teachers enjoy their gifts. I made key rings as a part of my package to the teachers only I never ordered the hardware -- I just did the round key ring and sewed the fabric around it. It turned out fine.

I bought a basic black t-shirt from Michael's that I put an applique on. It is fairly boxy and I want to try and make it more girly but I'm not sure what to do with it. Any suggestions? TIA

Buy at Target next time Seriously, they do have the girly cut t's and that's mainly what I get for my dd, though I can tell you it's much easier appliqueing on a toddler boxy one than it is on a child's small from the girl's dept at Target!

You could lettuce edge the sleeves and bottom (if you can lettuce edge -- not so sure I could do that).

Add bows to the sleeves.

Tie a knot on the side at the bottom.

okay I am finally beginning to catch up after being gone last week.

I need to make a list of our August Outfits and get sewing it is now99 days for our trip and I have one pair of shorts for DS cut out.

Is the board shorts the pattern you have cut or did you try it already? I would really like that pattern, but my ds is 9yo old and I'd likely need to upsize it. I think the pattern only goes up to an 8 (which he may fit into, but I'd like some longevity from the pattern).

Anyhoo, that's how I did our trip -- I made lists. There were a couple of revisions along the way, but it really helped me prioritize. I suffered with hairbows (only got about 1/2 done) and did no jewelry event hough I purchased beads -- just ran out of time!

I was thinking about this the other day when I could not find a girly cut t-shirt in red (plain) so I ended up with a boxy tee.

I think you could use the Sienna dress pattern (Lil Blue Boo - YCMT.com) to cut the center part down, preserving the neckline and hem, and then cut new sleeves out of the old sleeves, reattach the sleeves, and then sew up the sides at the new, narrower width. Hope that makes sense.

Or better yet, now that I think about it, use an existing tee that you like the fit of and use it as a pattern to do the same thing.

 

[NiniMorris]

I know it's been on here before, but can you post where you got the hardware for the fobs? I really like them, and it seems like a quick and easy gift idea.

ps...you did well with following instructions, picture was lovely!

LOL...thanks everyone for the compliments on my ability to follow instructions (I guess there is a first time for EVERYTHING!)

I got the fobs from ebay. I know there are a lot of sellers on the site...some of them include the webbing in case you want to make them that way. I knew I wanted to use the embroidery machine for mine, so I only needed the fobs.

I wanted to make sure I had the right seller...they were fantastic to deal with. The original order had a problem. Well, more accurately, the post office lost the package. I always track my purchases, and on the day the postal service said it was to be delivered, it went MIA. After 2 days, the post office said they couldn't find it.

The seller sent me a second package and 2 days later , both the original and the duplicate arrived. I tried to pay for the duplicate, but they wouldn't let me. They said they would do whatever was necessary to make sure they had satisfied customers.

You don't see that type of customer service much any more...so I HAVE to support them. (after all, I am STILL fighting with the person who took my money and never gave me my pettiskirts! That was almost a year ago!!)

So here is the link I have to get them...

Great to hear of good and honest sellers on ebay. Sometimes you hear only the bad stories and not the good ones! I have never ordered the key fob hardware off of ebay. I have gotten it off Etsy a few times.

I made the key fobs as my end of year gifts last year. Teachers, scout leaders and coaches all got key fobs with names embroidered on them. This year everybody is getting one of my quarts of home canned applesauce. I just need to get busy cutting out some pretty fabric for the top to dress it up a little bit.

These are great Nini! I've made them before, but I've never actually used any. LOL I should really make one for myself for once.

I have to check and see if I bought the Board shorts pattern I can't remember. The shorts I have cut out are Easy Fits.

This week I am writing my list and getting started. I am looking for plain sleeveless tees for my little guy for the August trip so now I am on a mission

 

[miprender]

I am loving all these outfits!!!!! Those Mickey with the ice cream bars are so cute!!!

Thanks and I loved the mickey bars. I bought the designs so long ago from your sister but knew I needed to add them to one of the outfits.

Obviously named Simply Sweet because of the model, the dress pattern, and the look on Minnie's face. I all three.

I love Mickey holding the ice cream -- not cannibalism, right?
And I love all the AK outfits.

Thanks and DD was all happy when I said I would post her picture online.

Aww...I love your Simply sweets. I too need to upsize to a ten. Can you tell me how you did yours?

Thanks, I have the instructions for enlarging the pattern on the copier but I was too afraid to try it that way. So instead I took the size 8 bodice(front/back) and increased the fold side and the other side each by .25" for the ruffled sleeve I added .25" on the fold side.

I could have probably gone a little bigger too but DD said it fits fine even though in the pic it looks a little snuggly around her belly.

Everything looks wonderful! I love all the appliques, especially the Mickey with the Mickey bar!

Thanks.

I really love everything.... My favorites are always the mickey bars - and I've never seen the one of Mickey holding the bar - CUTE!! My second favs are the Mickey hats... so I love them all!!
D~

Thanks

This week I am writing my list and getting started. I am looking for plain sleeveless tees for my little guy for the August trip so now I am on a mission

Did you try Old Navy? The store near me still had a good selection, but my Target was completely wiped out of plain Tshirts.

Adorable. Great job on the Simply Sweet, and Love the Mickey Ice Cream.

Thanks.

I have used the easy fit pattern to make board shorts for years. Gianna likes her shorts a little slimmer than the easy fit pattern so I just narrow the entire pattern a bit and cut it to the length needed. They look great and are super easy.

 

[TinkerbelleMom]

I give up, I'm just starting here because I'm so far behind I'm never going to catch up! Been crazy busy here, school ends june 1st andall of the end of year performances/awards banquets/parties have us on the go. I'm glad I did so many outfits for Rebecca to wear on our WDW weekend in march because I haven't done a thing so far for our cruise.

Right now I'm sitting in the car waiting on DD Marissa to finish an audition...at WDW! It's at the rehearsal facility near AK, I can see EE from the parking lot here. . AK costuming is in the same building, but I controlled myself and didn't take a pic when I went in to use the bathroom. it is fun watching CM's come and go with wardrobe changes, and trying to guess where they work in the park. Dinoland ones are easy to figure out!

I'll post her results good or bad when I know When she's done we plan on hitting one of the parks for lunch and maybe an attraction or two before heading home.

I know I've gotten the sleeveless t's at Target in the past, but there is generally a limited color selection. If you have trouble finding them let me know what your size your ds. We are having a yard sale on June 4 and I will pull out all my old clothes -- I can send you any ones I have (though they would be used, but I would only send them to you if in decent shape). I have a hard time finding them at times too, so I may not have the size you need but I will gladly look. And chances are I would only have navy or gray.

I just bought several (OK, about 20) designs off emlibrary. Most are fill since I need sophisticated horses and trains. This should keep me busy for some time to come! I need to head to Target though to get decent colors in boys t's. ACMoore doesn't even carry a brown or khaki in youth sizes They seem to only have really bright colors aside from gray, white and black.

 

[froggy33]

We got back from our trip on Wednesday and I'm all caught up, but wow TMTQ!!!

We had such a great time at Flower and Garden! I'm hoping to go back next year for a longer trip!!! I'll post pics as soon as I get them off my dad's camera and mine! So many compliments about my daughter! Didn't see too many other customs though.

Sounds like you're ready to get Stitch Era Universal and do your own digitizing -- 1. you've had your machine almost two whole weeks, 2. you won't need to buy so many designs, and 3. then I can learn from your questions

Here's my first attempt to tame SEU, a logo for my older son.

If you look closely you can see a J or maybe a G or an A

Not sure why it turned out so small . . .

. . . but I don't think I'll give up my day job just yet.
