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

[DMGeurts]

My FIRST ever Feliz. I have had the pattern for about 3 years and just now had the guts to do it. What I found was it is not really that hard. Just extrememly time consuming (sep without a serger like me). I don't want to make another for a while

But my DD LOVED it and was spinning around the house all day. That made it all worth while.

This turned out amazing!! I just love that fabric and the Feliz is one of my favorite dresses to make - I wish my girls could wear one, sadly - I didn't sew when they were little so I missed out on making them some fun stuff.

Wow, so much cuteness! I especially love the Feliz. I'm working on the courage to do my first too, and I even have the fabric for it and a deadline of Feb 5 (when we're going to see Sesame Street Live) so I'd better get on it!

I'm not even coming close to keeping up here right now, between the holidays, my son's birthday, and getting ready for our trip. DH bought me a new sewing machine (Janome DC2160) for Christmas and it is getting a workout!

The first thing I made with it - Christmas jammies for the girls (ignore DS and his duct tape dynamite )

A purse for DD in our high school's team colors and logo. When I finally get an embroidery machine I am SO digitizing this because I have orders for 2 more for friends already.

And a park bag, also for DD10 at her request. I improvised this one and I love how it came out - the zipper pocket is just the right size for her iPod Touch and has a button hole to run the headphones through, and the slip-in pocket holds her Epcot passport and pen perfectly. The only problem is the measurements on B&N.com for the Birnbaums weren't accurate, so that doesn't fit as well as it should!

The outside is completely blank white canvas, because DD wanted an *autograph* purse.

We leave in 13 days and I have 7 more projects on the to-do list. Wish me luck!

Love the Christmas jammies and the purse turned out awesome! I can't believe what a huge to do list you have yet... Although, mine isn't much better. LOL

Here are a few more items I made for our upcoming trip. Today is 30 days out!

First is my "day bag" for the parks:

Next is a tinkerbell outfit for my DD:

I'm kinda thinking of painting a tinkerbell on the front of this. I have a very small embroidery machine, but it only does 4x4, so I don't think that would be big enough.

I have a couple of short sets I made for my DS also, but they really aren't anything exciting. I am so glad I have a DD! I have 3 boys, and last was my girl, and she LOVES for me to make her dresses. Hopefully I will have time to make her a few more.

Thanks for looking.

Love the rosetta and the Tink outfit is adorable too!

Can't believe it is only 2 months until we arrive at WDW!

Your ticker didn't load for me... What are your dates???

Such awesome things. LOve the bags. Congrats on the new machine.

Such cuteness. Love the bag and that tink outfit is just adorable. I think a 4 x 4 tink would be fine on that outfit.

.

The Feliz is fabulous. I love the fabric

Great job, and I think a 4 x 4 would look good on this bodice.

Love the Feliz, aren't you glad you finally got one done? They are super twirlers aren't they?

 

[tinkbell13]

Great job! Love the idea of an autograph bag - so unique! Good luck with the rest of your projects too!

Love the ruffled bag! And I adore that Tink material!

Your ticker didn't load for me... What are your dates???

We are there March 11-17th. Second trip for DH & DS. First trip for the rest of the family. Can't wait to go! I haven't had time off work since our cruise in January 2011, so I really need a break.

 

[minandmick]

Hi everyone! I've been stalking this thread off and on for awhile and I am finally ready to join (I think) I taught myself how to sew this year and I am now venturing into real projects.

I recently made to American Girl blankets for my nieces and I have some other projects in the works. I'll post pics as soon as I figure out how to do it...

Hope you don't mind if I join...

 

[Luv WDisneyW]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this and have no idea if I'm even posting this correctly. Hopefully, I do and you can help me. I have adored many many of your projects, you all are so talented!!
We are going back to Disney this summer and hoping to do something different for my girls for Epcot. Does anybody know what I mean when I ask about the fabric with all the different countries on it. That is what I'm looking for and can't seem to find any information on where to buy it. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it!!
Thank you all for all your inspiring projects!!!
Shonda

 

[geishagirl81]

Thanks for the feedback everyone.


As to the fabrics I used, they were both Alexander Henry, and both out of print now. I paid an arm and leg for them, but if you search Etsy and other fabric/quilt shops online that specialize in carrying rare/hard to finds, you may have luck. I wasn't able to find much in the local fabric shops. HTH

Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year, I hope you all are doing well.

I have not posted here in forever, but I am so glad to be back.

You guys have posted so many amazing projects. I still don't have my brother PE770 but I will get it eventually. Trying to convience DH to let me fly off island alone to get one - its just cheaper. I paid more to ship my Csi6000 than the machine actually cost last year.

We are heading back to Disney in August and I have started makeing my wish list of outfits for DD. This year its all about conquering my fear of applique, and getting an organized sewing space put together...it's good to be back among my enablers....

 

[tinkerbell3747]

Ok, I think I can add a few now. These are all with my phone so not great, I'll hopefully have some good pics after our trip

I still have to finish the Rapunzel dress for her birthday dinner and also a birthday 4 shirt for the daytime.

and Jessie...

I Love the Minnie Skirt - would you mind sharing what pattern this is? Sorry if this is a repeate question - just rejoining the thread today. Thanks

 

[minandmick]

My first applique project. American Girl blankets for my nieces dolls they received this Christmas.

I would really love to make pajamas to match.....

 

[dianemom2]

The dress is just beautiful and your little girl is precious!

Congratulations on the new sewing machine. It sure looks like you've put it to very good use! I love the pajamas and the bags. Good job winging it on the designs. I hope you are able to get all your projects finished before you leave.

First is my "day bag" for the parks:

Next is a tinkerbell outfit for my DD:

I have 3 boys, and last was my girl, and she LOVES for me to make her dresses. Hopefully I will have time to make her a few more.

Love the bag and the Tinkerbell outfit is great. I think it looks good just like it is but I am sure it would be cute with the Tinkerbell painted in it too. I would be too afraid that I would mess it up to try to paint it but that's just me.

Enjoy sewing dresses and frills for your little girl while she loves them. I didn't get very many years to sew frilly things for my girls because I didn't start sewing again until they were about 6 and 7. By then they were already close to outgrowing their love of dresses and frills. Now they are in middle school and rarely like anything that I've made. Luckily I have a 4 year old niece who I am able to spoil with lots of dresses. I am not sure what I will do when she outgrows wanting to wear what I've made.

I just ordered some Disney fabric and some Hello Kitty fabric from etsy. I can't wait to get it and start on some new stuff. See how quickly I broke my no new fabric promise. I think it was less than 24 hours. And I shouldn't admit this but I bought a yard of fabric earlier today when I went to JOanns for buttons.

Of course I did cut out 4 bowling shirts for my nephews (2 for each of them) using fabric from my stash. I can't use Carla's pattern because our printer still isn't fixed. I had to use a Simplicity pattern I already had. I don't like it nearly as much as Carla's pattern. But I have all 4 shirts half finished after one day of work. Hoping that tomorrow I can put on the sleeves and do the buttonholes. Then all 4 will be done. My next goal will be to plan some special outfits for the niece and nephews with the Dr. Seuss fabric I bought last winter. You see, I really am trying to use up some of my fabric stash!


I also finished the last bit on this bag that I made during winter break.

This is the inside pocket that I added to this bag:

I love having zippered pockets inside my bag!

Your first applique project turned out great. i am sure your nieces love the blankets. This is the second time this week that I've seen fabric that I used for something else in posts here on the Disboutique.

Here is the bag that I made with the same fabric:

I love that bag! Someday I want to make a messenger bag. I've had this fabric for at least one year...I found it when I was taking out my Christmas decorations. LOL

 

[miprender]

How did I get so far behind. Maybe trying to keep up with D's PTR kept me busy

Yes, the driver stayed at the scene of the accident. Sadly, the man who hit her is a friend of their family. I can't imagine what he is thinking and feeling.

Here are things that I have been working on this week:

And an Ariel skirt and top:

I am a little sad because the red that I used on Ariel's hair bled a little bit onto her skin.

Sorry to hear that it was their friend that accidently hit her.

Love all these new outfits you have been very busy.

I

Great job!

First up t's for Lindsay and her brother (Big Give) and a collar cover for Bella the yorkie. Lindsay was supposed to have Minnie on elbows and I accidentally did Mickey on hers so just did a different Mickey face for Dalton (thank you Heather!!!!):

Great job on everything as usual! Glad you little furbaby is feeling better. I really love the fabric colors of the Christmas dress.

You are all so talented! Not sure mine will ever be good enough to post but I'll sure try. Keep sewing and I'll keep looking!

Some of us here have only been sewing for a little over a year and it is mandatory to post pictures

Love that fabric. I have been debating on buying some but I must resist or DH is going to have me committed for all the fabric I keep buying.

My goal for our April trip is to try and not buy any fabric for the girl. I may have to for the boy but then I might not LOL. (He might get new shirts to go with existing shorts) One of the outfits for December still fits and I think some of the outfits from last August still fit.

We really need to start our FHA (fabric hoarders anyomous) group back up.

I just organized all my fabric and it is finally out of bins... but it really shows how much stuff I have that I am just hoarding

Here is today's project:

.

Really love this mermaid fabric. DD loves mermaids too.

Great mermaid dress too. I think I feel a theme coming on.

I wanted to share this dress I made for Barbara's auction. Sorry for the big pictures.

That is such a sweet thing to do and love the dress with the matching AG dress.

Hi all. I love reading your thread and seeing all the pics. I have finally finished the outfits for my youngest daughter for our upcoming trip.

Thought I'd try to share.

Princess outfit.

Everything is so cute and really love those slippers.

Okay, I've finally racked up 10 posts so I can post photos! LOL.
This was a quick skirt I made up a bit ago for my grandmother's friend's granddaughter

Great job.

I'm hopelessly behind again. Love all the great stuff that has been posted lately.

I don't think I ever posted a pic of this skirt that I did for Alexa.

What a beautiful skirt.

.
Love all the Christmas jammies and matching AG clothes!

Thanks

What a cute shirt and love the tail wrapping around the side.

I bit the bullet and ordered the SE400. Yeah, maybe I'll get hoop envy but since I'll mostly be embroidering kids' clothes I think I'll basically be okay. It came today (gotta love Amazon Prime) and I did a test run and it's awesome (especially for the price - they had one listed as "used" for just under $300 claiming that the packaging was damaged but the machine was like new, but the packaging looks like it's been in the mail and the machine still had all the factory seals on it!)

WooHoo! Congrats.

But my DD LOVED it and was spinning around the house all day. That made it all worth while.

What a great job.

The outside is completely blank white canvas, because DD wanted an *autograph* purse.

What a great idea on the park bag. Hope you get lots of autographs.

Here are a few more items I made for our upcoming trip. Today is 30 days out!

I'm kinda thinking of painting a tinkerbell on the front of this. I have a very small embroidery machine, but it only does 4x4, so I don't think that would be big enough.

Love your park bag and the dress. Since the bodice is small I think a 4x4 would work but I would be afraid to mess something up since your dress is so beautiful already.

I love these. they are so pretty.

Diane I love this bag. I really should try a tote bag one day.

 

[mariolatry]

You all do such beautiful work and I'd love to get my girls some cute dresses like these for our trip in May. Do you sell your stuff anywhere? I tried searching Etsy.com....Please PM the names you sell under, if you do*



*I don't want to violate the board laws. If this is a problem, just know that I am so envious of everyone's talent!

 

[Mommyto1andtwins]

Tomorrow the store that I bought my machine from is offering a Bernina owner class. I am so excited. I have taken it before but I was so overwhelmed that I don't remember everything. I hope to relearn the basics of my machine. I am super super excited about learning to put a button on. My belly has popped buttons off all my jackets!

We are there March 11-17th. Second trip for DH & DS. First trip for the rest of the family. Can't wait to go! I haven't had time off work since our cruise in January 2011, so I really need a break.

We are there March 6-15... Where are you staying?

I also finished the last bit on this bag that I made during winter break.

These turned out great... And your interior zippered pockets look perfect!

I want a PE770 too and am currently looking around to find one in the US. Machines in Canada seem to be twice the price for some reason. Even paying shipping charges, it will be cheaper to purchase from the States.

We are staying at ASMo. I was thinking of trying Pop Century this time but my DH, BIL and SIL thought ASMo would be more interesting to the kids. Oh well, there's always the next trip! Where are you staying?
