Disboutiquers Part 27 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[Corrine 1973]

Corrine... I can't wait to see your first applique! I bet it will be awesome! I didn't even know you were trying to learn - if you have any questions, feel free to PM me - or post here - these gals (and Tom) are amazinly hepful!

D~

It's all your fault D, OK maybe not entirely. I actually looked at the toturial over a month ago when I saw the pretty things that was made for one of the big gives in November and while I wanted to try one I was super busy with life at the time (damn that life getting in the way.) I had bought some fabric to make my DD a dress when I saw Lidian's bag a decided to make a bag as well. And than I saw the great bags you have been making a thought that a tinker bell applique would look great on the bag I was thinking of. So like I said it is all your fault. But if it comes out good, it just might be a good thing.

NINI I was quite unimpressed with the new annoucement too

I have to say I am so impressed by everyone on here. You have all been my inspiration! So, I wanted to share a couple of my latest outfits for our upcoming trip to DW in February 2012.

First up is a Minnie outfit for my DD4:

Last is an animal kingdom outfit for both my DS5 & DS9:

Thanks for looking! I have MANY more to make, but all my inspirations come from here.

Love what you made so far! I find AK to be the easiest park to make customs for as you can get as creative as you want with all the animal prints.

 

[miprender]

SO finally getting around to posting pictures of what I made.
D.... you should be proud of me I made all matching outfits for DD's AG dolls.
Except I cheated with the Tshirts. I used newborn onesies and cut off the bottom and sewed a hem.

Here is DD's PJs pre-torn

Here's the shirt Judy sent me to put this little girl on:

[ivey_family]

After more than a week of crazy Christmas schedule, I finally have time to sit and catch up. Our kids have had about 1 hour total since Christmas day with their new toys. Tomorrow, we are all staying in our pjs and relaxing, and I can start re-doing my sewing space with my new counter and cupboards! I'm loving all the photos and ideas that have been shared!

"DO OR DO NOT; THERE IS NO TRY"

They're all by Master Yoda . . . which would you choose???

I promise to post pictures when the room is all done!!!

The room sounds terrific! Can't wait to see pics! My vote is for the classic "Do or do not..."

And probably the best pictures I have of the boys' Jake shirts. There are lots of appliqués on these, tic toc crock, golden doublons, Jake and Skully

That's all, I promise!! Thanks for lookin'!

I didn't quote the first post, but I really enjoyed all your photos! You've got some really creative twists in your outfits! The story about wishing for another baby made me tear up! So sweet! Also, congrats on being that much closer to being in your new home and your own sewing space!

May I ask where the classic Mickey applique design is from?

Latest project for Barbara's auction:

A Rebecca Dress (one of the latest SisBoom patterns) for myself:

That skirt is adorable! I love the colors and the way you used the appliqués! The dress for yourself is really nice, too!

We are back from our trip and had a great time

Welcome home! Looking forward to seeing pics!

Thanks for looking! I have MANY more to make, but all my inspirations come from here.

Welcome! All your outfits are really cute!

SO finally getting around to posting pictures of what I made.

The boy's PJs

Michelle -Everything is super cute! Great idea to use baby t's for doll dresses!

Where is the sledding Mickey applique from? Love it!

C,

 

[gallafamily]

Thank you all for your encouragement! I am by no means up to most of your standards, but I am having fun. I will continue to admire all your creations!

 

[cogero]

so I have decided I may try to sew something today or at least cut out something.

I owe DD 2 pairs of PJ pants so I want to get them cut out.

I also wouldn't mind doing something creative.

 

[miprender]

LOVE LOVE LOVE it all Michelle!!!! The Christmas nesting dolls skirt is adorable!!!!

Thanks I bought that fabric the day we went shopping together

Michelle -Everything is super cute! Great idea to use baby t's for doll dresses!

Thanks. The sledding Mickey and the Donald Duck are both from Bows & Clothes.

Thank you all for your encouragement! I am by no means up to most of your standards, but I am having fun. I will continue to admire all your creations!

I sometimes feel the same way But I keep telling myself every mistake I make only makes me a better sewer.

Well, it made me have a sad day yesterday. I kept thinking about what I wanted to do with 1 more day. Ride Peter Pan's Flight with my Mother, her favorite ride, just one more time. Sadly, she passed away Mother's Day in 2010. Unless I were to win a trip, I don't think I'm able to go back to Disney for $$ reasons.

I love how I get blamed for most of the mischief around here... Remember - a lot of these ladies were here before me, and are responsible for my behavior.

(Ahem... Nini, Ellen, Nicole, Aimee, Diane... The list goes on...)

Everything looks great. What a clever idea to use newborn onesies to make AG t-shirts! I recently read about how to use a knee high sock to make tights for an AG. The pjs are adorable. Too bad that they got ripped. Hope you were able to mend them.

First up is a Minnie outfit for my DD4:

Second is an animal kingdom outfit for my DD4:

Last is an animal kingdom outfit for both my DS5 & DS9:

Love the outfits for your DD. They are so cute! I always love anything with Minnie's colors on it. The safari style outfits for your boys are great too!

My DD told me that she wore the Dopey shirt that I made to Disney on Christmas Eve. She said that several people asked her about it.

Great job on everything! I am scared to use the large dot on kids' clothing as I thought it would be overwhelming. I am going to rethink that plan now that I can seen your work!

I borrowed your idea for reusable gift tags and made gift tag/tree ornaments from Heathersue's Mickey head. It was fun to make and fun to add more Mickey stuff to the tree.

Your skirt is perfect. I love the colors and all of the different Mickey faces. The jumper looks very comfortable. well done.

I've always stayed at the Di$neyland Hotel and despite what seemed like a boatload of money, it had views of (what I think is the employee) parking garage. I've been thinking of going again -- if my son ends up at a UC school I KNOW I'll be back. Have you ever stayed at the nearby Holiday Inn? I have enough points for a couple free nights there. If not Holiday Inn, have you stayed at any of the other nearby hotels?

Glad that my idea got some use! People were a little bit confused by the new gift tags because they were looking for the old ones! I have to say I like the new ones better because I did not lose a single one this year!

The skirt was inspired by Mickey's Fun Wheel at California Adventure, or better known as "the ride that should have had an orange triangle". Hey, maybe you should plan to be there in February too, just sayin...

DH and I have stayed at the Hilton Anaheim. I have to say I was underwhelmed (even though we got a great rate). I stayed at the Ramada Maingate when I was at the conference in November. It was very close to DL (less than 5 minutes from my room to bag check), however it could use some TLC. I would say it is comparable to a value resort with free breakfast, free wifi, and walking distance of Contemporary. We are staying at the Ramada Plaza this time, which is a little bit further from the parks than the Maingate but it also looks much nicer. There is a Holiday Inn Express next to Ramada Plaza. It looks pretty nice too.

Great job on everything! I still could not fathom making doll clothes - my fingers are too big to work on something that small! Too bad about your DD's PJ's - could they be repaired?

Sadly, she passed away Mother's Day in 2010. Unless I were to win a trip, I don't think I'm able to go back to Disney for $$ reasons.

I am sorry to hear that. Sending during this difficult time.


Well I am going to my friend's baby shower today. This is what I ended up making for her baby boy:

I just hope they would be considered culturally appropriate!

 

[aboveH20]

I always enjoy trying something new (to me!) so I made Dorrrine a quilt and a pillow and a pillowcase. Fortunately, I created a number of learning opportunities (AKA mistakes ) for myself, so I'll probably give it another go.

The family next door gave us some cookies right before Christmas so I dashed downstairs and made each of the girls snowman ornaments (free from sewforum) and AG dresses designed using the same snowman.

I debated whether to make them each something different or the same -- having had an older sister I now what it's like to compare. So, if you look closely you'll see I went with similar but with a slight difference so they could tell them apart.

Dorrrine is one lucky duck...errrrr...doll! Love the little difference in the snowman dresses. What a clever idea!

Thanks everyone. The pants shredded at the seams. I think I have to try something else. I usually serge the seams but there is no seam allowance so not sure if that was the problem but none of my other PJs had this happen so I really don't know.

And I think it was Cheryl that made the AG tights from knee hi stockings.

That came out so cute

Making the same but a little different was so clever As a mother of two sons who fight about everything that was a great call Love the snowman faces on the dresses and Dorrrine will be nice and warm now when she sleeps.

The snowman dresses are TDF! I love Dorrrine's quilt, and a pillowcase - with her name on it... Just sayin' - I remember as a little girl, I would always go into every shop that had coffee mugs/pens/pencils - dorky stuff with people's names on them - and I was always so disappointed that nothing ever had my name on it... So, Dorrrine must feel the extra special love you have for her, because you made her something that's all hers.

Michelle.... I make doll leggings out of knee high socks all the time... One sock for each leg - cut the pattern piece out, so the waist band is the top of the sock, then I do a lettuce edging around the leg opening (before you sew the legs shut)... Some of my original Fab 5 outfits were done this way.

Oh, and I have an addition to my earlier statement.... Andrea (for sure)... Who else did I miss??? Because I would hate to leave anyone out.
