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

[ireland_nicole]

So part of the reason I haven't been able to keep up is because my car got hit this week and I've been sore, but the other is I've been trying to keep on track w/ our trip sewing (I only have one nienie outfit, two easy t-shirt dress outfits, 2 pairs of jeans to embellish, a few sets of ruffles, and 26 tshirts to make- plus an eye spy bag; I think I'm on track to finish, hopefully early )
enough to do hair accessories _

This week I made DD's park bag (it's the small avilo messenger; I made the strap a crossbody length. FWIW, the back pocket fits an autograph book perfectly I used Heathersue's autism minnie head for the applique

Outside front:

the one that looks white is actually pink, and they all have "sparkle" so DD loves it!- and sorry the flap looks off, but it's the pic, normally it's straight; I promise

Inside with specially measured pockets for her ipod, tangle fidget, etc.

And here's the Feliz I also did this week for MVMCP-

and the back:

FWIW- I know the bottom ruffle is a bit small, but it's DD's request- and I promise the hem isn't actually wonky...
Thanks for looking!

Hello friends! I haven't posted here in FOR-EVAH! It's nice to see some "old" friends and very cool to see lots of new people! I've been missing you guys!

I feel like I don't have much to contribute since we don't have a disney trip planned (I'm having major withdrawal though!) - but I thought I'd pop in and say HI!!!!!

I'm gonna try and pop in a little more often!

 

[ireland_nicole]

WooHoo- Eye Spy bag is done! It was my first, and I used the tute that Andrea posted on this thread- wow, I can't believe how much fun it was- I definitely see more of these in my future! Thanks Andrea and Teresa for putting it in the bookmarks so gals like me can find it!

I can't quote (still on the iPad) but -

RI/MA peeps - I'll be back the 1st weekend of November and would love to meet up. I'll probably want to make a Just Fabrics run that Friday if that would work for y'all. I'll be in town for a wedding (which is on Saturday) and don't know when my flight is for Sunday yet ... But let's really try to plan something!!!

Ireland-Nicole - I love the MVMCP dress and the messenger bag!

I raced to Ryco Trim this afternoon ... We had the "day after" party for my cousin's wedding here at the house, so I couldn't get away until 3:15(literally, as my mom's car was blocked in) ... It was 3:55 when we were still an exit away, so my cousin called and we begged them to stay open until we got there.... THEY DID!!! I picked up the black, purple & orange tulle I needed to make my Halloween costume (or not, I haven't decided what I'm going to be yet, but my backup is to be a witch with a tulle skirt).

 

[effervescent]

I feel like I've been away from this thread forever! We just got home from Disney and had a great (although hot!) time. As soon as I get my pics uploaded I'll share some of the customs that I made. I did not get nearly as much done as I had planned on, but the kids still loved what did get done. Now I'm back on the horse with some gives and hopefully a short trip coming up after the first of the year, and I'm determined to get done what I have planned! Just wanted to drop in and say hi, hope to keep up with the thread for awhile.

Fabulous. I love that bag. I need to get over my fear of patterns.

Here are a couple of dresses I have gotten done for our November trip. This one is a Carla C stripwork jumper for the Hoop Dee Do Review.

I am in love with this pattern right now and keep coming up with more I want to make!

This one is Carla C portrait peasant embellished a bit. I am really proud of how it came out. Despite A being sick I got her to model for me on this one.

Thanks for looking!

love them ALL! and looks like your sweeties had a great trip!

precious babygirl! and love the outfits too! and welcome to your new addiction!!!!

I have a new project to share (I am actually quite please with this one)! I have been thinking about upsizing an Insa for myself. I ended up playing with a few ideas in my head and just drawing my ideas on paper. I am not sure how close it is to an Insa now that I am done. One thing I am sure is that they are both 4 panel skirts!

May I present...Purple Ear's rendition of World Showcase Insa!

This is the front:

And the back:

(DH would also like to point out the beautiful job he did on installing the hardwood floors on the stairs)

I just took a few more pictures to show the embroidery around:

And since I am not graceful enough to enter and exit the Test Track vechicle without the risk of exposing my undergarments, I added a pair of Easy Fit in place of the underskirt in the Insa.

I am not sure how well they show up in the picture, but the hem is slightly scalloped (similar to the overskirt in Insa). I just scaled them so each Mickey Head sit in the middle of the scallop.

Thanks for looking!

Wow! Amazing work! The skirt is beautiful! I love all the applique and I can totally see the scallops. I also love how you did the Easy Fits attached (I always wear bike shorts under my short skirts because I have one skirt that blows up on a windy day).

Very nice stairs as well! I took nearly an arm and a leg to get dh to do ours and our stairs split through the FROG so he still has five more stairs to get done (wonder if that will happen in my life time?).

We just returned home from Disney (Sad day, i know!) But it was such a magical time!! WE enjoyed every second of this experience!! So many memories were made!! I want to thank everyone on here for inspiring me to make some outfits for my daughter to enhance her experience on this trip!! She had many nice comments from people around us and truly enjoyed the extra attention the outfits brought her Here are some pics of the outfits she wore (sorry for so many pics!)

Minnie inspired dress

ariel top and skirt

Thanks for looking!

Fabulous outfits and it looks like you had some nice character interaction.

Anyway, we are all safely home and attempting to get back in to routines. (of course I was not ready to turn the heat on this morning...but after melting all week at Disney, I really didn't want to freeze when back home...ok maybe bot freeze, but it IS in the 40's!!!)

With that in mind, I need to get the family up and at 'em or we will be late for church services..

Nini

Welcome home! I loved your daily updates! I am very sorry for the loss of your dh's friend. Also sorry the nanny didn't really aspire to be one! Can't wait to see photos!

We just returned from our Disney trip last night. I am pretty sure I saw Denise and family (NCMomof2) go by at EPCOT one night, but we were both on the move and didn't stop. I did say hello. Also on our first night we passed a family with a little girl in a princess stripwork skirt, and the Mom recognized my Rosetta Minnie bag, but not sure who it was. Saw lots of other customs, but not sure I saw anyone else I recognized from here. I was hoping to run into Nini, but did not see her.

It was quite hot, but only got rain one evening, and had a great time.

We did the Wanyama Safari at AK Lodge and that was great!! Here is a photo of us from the Safari, it included a download of the photo they took. I wore the top I made for Project Runway.

Welcome home! I love that picture! You look great in the top and it looks much nicer seeing your face with it

Hi everyone,
I have been lurking and wanting to introduce myself for a long time.
I am a stay at home mom to my almost 18 month daughter. I have sewn for a few years making quilts but it was seeing what you all create that inspired me to get some Carla C patterns and start making clothes for my little girl. I love it! I am having so much fun.
Last winter I read this thread almost every day. I was so inspired by the beautiful clothes and also what you all do with the big give projects. But then last spring life got complicated and messy for a while with a job change for my husband, a big move to a farm in the country, losing my sewing room, and trying to adjust to all the changes! I am now back. I have a sewing corner set up instead of a sewing room. I have made several dresses for our trip to Disney world in November and have several more ideas. I am sure I will have more ideas than time before the trip! Anyway, thanks for all the inspiration. I look forward to seeing all of your new creations and sharing some of mine after I get the hang of posting pictures.

Welcome! Sorry you lost your sewing room, but I think at least half of us here don't even have our own rooms. I just claim space in my tiny laundry room!

Question, I am going to try to do my first embroidery on a T-shirt, my question is do you hoop your shirts or use another method. I tried hooping a small tank top for my DD and it seems like there is a lot of shirt material, I tried to clip it but it still seems to roll over to the embroidery field. Any tips are helpful

I use Floriani med weight cut away, hoop that, spray with Dritz and pin the shirt to the stabilizer. Then I float a piece of tear away under it (if it's a fill design I hoop at least two pieces of tear away. On small items I still have to hold the shirt out of the way and I too sit and babysit most items.

So part of the reason I haven't been able to keep up is because my car got hit this week and I've been sore, but the other is I've been trying to keep on track w/ our trip sewing (I only have one nienie outfit, two easy t-shirt dress outfits, 2 pairs of jeans to embellish, a few sets of ruffles, and 26 tshirts to make- plus an eye spy bag; I think I'm on track to finish, hopefully early )

Love the messenger bag! And the Feliz looks awesome. I like the small ruffle. I had to do a small one once on a Vida due to running out of fabric and I liked it so much I sometimes do small ruffles intentionally.

Sorry about the accident ~ hope you are recovering OK.

Hello friends! I haven't posted here in FOR-EVAH! It's nice to see some "old" friends and very cool to see lots of new people! I've been missing you guys!

I feel like I don't have much to contribute since we don't have a disney trip planned (I'm having major withdrawal though!) - but I thought I'd pop in and say HI!!!!!

I'm gonna try and pop in a little more often!

I don't have any Disney trips planned -- just one I want to do but finances will dictate that. I keep Disneyfied by doing BGs and just post the random stuff I do for my kids on here as well.

WooHoo- Eye Spy bag is done! It was my first, and I used the tute that Andrea posted on this thread- wow, I can't believe how much fun it was- I definitely see more of these in my future! Thanks Andrea and Teresa for putting it in the bookmarks so gals like me can find it!

Glad it helped. I'd like to do a better tut, but I have not been in the mood at all to make eye spy bags.

Do the newlyweds need a house? Look for the one in Saunderstown -- should have the for sale sign up any day now! It would mean my Dis trip could come true.

Hi Beth! Haven't seen you around in a while. I'm sure you're busy with your job now but hope you still have some time to sew. I love drooling over all your great thrift store finds!

Cute dresses! I love the stripwork dress pattern too, it's so easy and so versatile. Your LO is adorable too.

I am still sewing away... I've been very busy trying to get everything sewed for this trip... ACK!! I have 5 days off of work this week - so I hope to make a huge dent in my numbers - I would love to get out of the 30's!

Have a great day everyone!

Okay, pic overload from our trip. I usually take pics of the kidlets (and outfits!) in the hotel room before we head out, but we had a number of early morning breakfasts this time and that just didn't happen. So here are the best shots I have of the outfits.

Day 1 - Hollywood Studios - Lightning McQueen! Modified Juliet for DD and CarlaC bowling shirt and easy fits for DS.

Day 2 - Animal Kingdom - this is a picture of the kids with our new friends from Botswana, Ram and Maureen. We had so much fun talking with them, looking at pictures of their country, learning about their way of life and traditions and learning to play mancala. One of my favorite things to do is to talk to the CM from other countries.

Day 3 - Magic Kingdom - HeatherSue's Splash Mountain design for DS, and Jasmine for DD.

And Daddy in his princess protection shirt with his princess

Day 5 - EPCOT - Test Track for DS and Mulan for DD

I really think that she and Mulan made each other's day. Mulan is currently DD's favorite princess, and I guess Mulan doesn't see too many look alikes!

Day 6 - Animal Kingdom. DD decided to wear the same dress that she wore the first time, and DS wore a bowling shirt with a zebra fabric that he picked.

Day 7 - Magic Kingdom - Ariel dress by request from DD, and a super cute Mickey themed transportation bowling shirt for DS. It is hard to see the details of the fabric in this pic, but it is some of the cutest I've seen. He got tons of compliments on it.

Day 8 - Hollywood Studios - This was our Toy Story Maniacs day. Each of us had personalized tshirts, design was made by one of our talented DISigners here on the dis. I made easy fit shorts for DS and a twirly skirt for DD out of Toy Story fabric to match. The pic of all of us together didn't turn out well so here's the best I can do.

Day 9 - MNSSHP - Alison was supposed to be Tinkerbell and I was going to be Fairy Mary, but she decided that she wanted to be Jasmine instead. I changed my costume too, I figured people would be hard pressed to recognize FM anyway, but it would be even harder without Tink! The only costumes that I made in this pic are Jasmine and Jafar (except the hat).

Day 10 - EPCOT - recycled dress for DD, Jack Skellington shirt for oldest DS which earned him a ton of compliments, and Nemo outfit for youngest DS. He loves orange so I think this was his favorite outfit. I made myself a Crush shirt to match DS but I didn't get a pic of me in it.

Day 11 - Hollywood Studios - Sorcerer Mickey for DS and another recycled outfit for DD.

Dress I made for DD for Spirit of Aloha. I made myself a dress too, but once again did not get a pic of it.

And just for cuteness sake:

DD getting her very first haircut at Harmony Barber Shop. She did so good with the haircut and the stylist gave both of us a dash of pixie dust at the end. So much fun!

DS trying his hardest to get the sword - this pic just cracks me up.

And my proud mommy moment in pics - DD used chopsticks (the spring type, but it's the first time she's ever held chopsticks!) to eat her dinner, even the rice!

All in all we had a fabulous trip. DD was 40.5 inches this time, so she got to ride all the "cool" rides - Splash, BTMRR, TOT (yes, she loved TOT!). DS was 45 inches and got to ride Space Mountain and Expedition Everest this time. He loved EE and talked about it to everyone that would listen. Had some good pixie dust come our way too. MNSSHP was an absolute blast this year. I'm still recovering - I feel kind of like I've been hit by a truck!

Thanks for looking!

 

[Meshell2002]

Love all the pics posted this past weekend! I missed a lot just for taking the weekend off

Adult Insa, lots of princesses....and maggie.....you DD in the snow white peasant is sooo precious! she reminds me of DD last year (she's almost 3 now)

Kids are out for fall break (they started 8/1) so I'm trying to sew for our trip in less than 40 days....and attend to arguing siblings the next 2 weeks. I just can't get myself organized. I have a feeling I'll be sewing til the last minute.

Precious. Your little snow white is adorable.

Kendra your pictures are fabulous. Thank you for sharing.

My goal is to try and use at least one new pattern a month out of all the ones I have collected and I definately think I am going to start with bowling shirts for the boy.

 

[mkwj]

Wow 27 pages already. I have a lot to catch up on. We just got home around 11 last night. Had a great trip and ended up staying all day for MK's 40th. I will post pictures later. DH has been downloading them on the laptop and he took it to work today. The weather was awesome. Only rained on one day. DD got to meet all the princesses and it was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. Her only disappointment was tinkerbell. She is more of the woodland tomboy tink, and not the tink we are used to. DD didn't even recognize this one. For those that have seen her what did you think? Being there on Saturday was pretty cool. They gave out 40th pins and commerative maps with the guides. If this has been posted already sorry. I haven't had a chance to read past posts yet. I really wanted to get something that said I was there that day, but the lines were ridiculus. T-shirts were sold out in minutes, and the line to get the pins was forever long. I would have spend my entire day trying for that. Wasn't worth it to me. I wish they would have done it different and made it a little bit easier. The fireworks that night were awesome. They were bigger than just the normal ones. I did get to meet Nini on our first night. It was brief, but great to meet another disboutiquer. Saw a few customs, but not very many. It is hard to believe our trip is over. I always get so sad walking down main street on that last night. But it does feel good to be home too. Now I just have lots of . Hopefully I will catch up on posts tonight.

First of all, I am completely jealous that you had such a long trip!!!

Secondly ~ stunning clothes and it looks like everything got you lots lots of attention. I the pic of your dd with Mulan and you did a superb job on her Mulan kimono. I've heard Mulan is one of the nicest princesses at Epcot -- sadly we didn't have much Epcot time and didn't get to see her. Your Jasmine outfit is awesome as well and we had a very nice Jasmine and even better Aladdin so hope your experience with them was fabulous too.

You have sooooooo much cute stuff I can't even remember all that I wanted to comment on! I loved the Cars set too! And I've seen that Mickey transportation fabric and it's adorable and looked awesome on your bowling shirt.

I would have loved to have seen pics of your dress, but let me guess, you are the one always behind the camera too?

Thanks for sharing your fabulous photos!

Love all the pics posted this past weekend! I missed a lot just for taking the weekend off

Sorry you have to put up with school break kids whilst trying to sew. I would love a school schedule like that -- I'd be in Dis these two weeks if my kids had off school! Good luck getting organized.

CHIARA: Hope you are feeling better today. This is nasty bug going around. DH is on day 12 of being sick but I'm only at 1 week and I don't think I've been as bad as dh has -- our fevers were only low grade but we're getting recurring sore throats and the congestion will not go away at all.

D~: Happy Sewing this week! I expect to see lots of things posted on your PTR. I picked up my interfacing this morning but also started dd's jeans yesterday and am having more fun with those so may work on those more today rather than finishing ds's shirt -- would love to make good progress on both, but I'm too slow.

 

[VBAndrea]

RI/MA peeps - I'll be back the 1st weekend of November and would love to meet up. I'll probably want to make a Just Fabrics run that Friday if that would work for y'all. I'll be in town for a wedding (which is on Saturday) and don't know when my flight is for Sunday yet ... But let's really try to plan something!!!

I raced to Ryco Trim this afternoon ... We had the "day after" party for my cousin's wedding here at the house, so I couldn't get away until 3:15(literally, as my mom's car was blocked in) ... It was 3:55 when we were still an exit away, so my cousin called and we begged them to stay open until we got there.... THEY DID!!! I picked up the black, purple & orange tulle I needed to make my Halloween costume (or not, I haven't decided what I'm going to be yet, but my backup is to be a witch with a tulle skirt).

I am totally in for a meet. Maybe lunch/fabric?
I was at Ryco last week looking for that illusive fabric that Irelandnicole posted in her beautiful princess set. They had everything but.

Outside front:

the one that looks white is actually pink, and they all have "sparkle" so DD loves it!- and sorry the flap looks off, but it's the pic, normally it's straight; I promise

Inside with specially measured pockets for her ipod, tangle fidget, etc.

And here's the Feliz I also did this week for MVMCP-

and the back:

FWIW- I know the bottom ruffle is a bit small, but it's DD's request- and I promise the hem isn't actually wonky...
Thanks for looking!

Love the feliz, and Thank you! for the name and designer of the fabric. I looked and looked in all the quilt shops, and didn't find it. It is more of an aqua than a blue? They call it "blue" online, but I am looking for more of the aqua color family.

We should. I live in Warwick but my mom lives in Woon. We can have one when Marriane comes up to visit.

Like I said before, I would love too!

Kids are out for fall break (they started 8/1) so I'm trying to sew for our trip in less than 40 days....and attend to arguing siblings the next 2 weeks. I just can't get myself organized. I have a feeling I'll be sewing til the last minute.

I sew to the last minute all the time...I was sewing buttons on J's bowling shirts in the hotel room. It's like a ritual to me now.

Kendra your pictures are fabulous. Thank you for sharing.

My goal is to try and use at least one new pattern a month out of all the ones I have collected and I definately think I am going to start with bowling shirts for the boy.

Thank you! I was intimidated by the bowling shirt for a long time - I think I bought it before I ever found disboutiquers and these were my first group of them. The first one was a little rough, but after that they were easy peasy! I can't wait to see what you do!

Wow 27 pages already. I have a lot to catch up on. We just got home around 11 last night. Had a great trip and ended up staying all day for MK's 40th. I will post pictures later. DH has been downloading them on the laptop and he took it to work today. The weather was awesome. Only rained on one day. DD got to meet all the princesses and it was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. Her only disappointment was tinkerbell. She is more of the woodland tomboy tink, and not the tink we are used to. DD didn't even recognize this one. For those that have seen her what did you think? Being there on Saturday was pretty cool. They gave out 40th pins and commerative maps with the guides. If this has been posted already sorry. I haven't had a chance to read past posts yet. I really wanted to get something that said I was there that day, but the lines were ridiculus. T-shirts were sold out in minutes, and the line to get the pins was forever long. I would have spend my entire day trying for that. Wasn't worth it to me. I wish they would have done it different and made it a little bit easier. The fireworks that night were awesome. They were bigger than just the normal ones. I did get to meet Nini on our first night. It was brief, but great to meet another disboutiquer. Saw a few customs, but not very many. It is hard to believe our trip is over. I always get so sad walking down main street on that last night. But it does feel good to be home too. Now I just have lots of . Hopefully I will catch up on posts tonight.

That sounds like so much fun! We missed the 40th by a couple days but considering I hate crowds it sounds like it worked out lol! I would have loved to have seen the fireworks though, my fave part of MNSSHP is the different fireworks.

We too were disappointed in Tink. Alison watches that particular movie frequently so she knew who she was, but I don't think she cared for it a whole lot. I asked Tink's CM friend if she would be there for the Halloween party (since DD at that time was going to be Tink) and if she would be in her dress. She told me that Tink was wearing her adventurers outfit for fall. They didn't do that last year and I know the night of the party last year there was a 40 min wait full of little Tinkerbells waiting to see the real Tink. It would have sucked to wait in that line again only to find Tink dressed like that. Petty I know, but you're not the only one that didn't like her outfit!

First of all, I am completely jealous that you had such a long trip!!!

Secondly ~ stunning clothes and it looks like everything got you lots lots of attention. I the pic of your dd with Mulan and you did a superb job on her Mulan kimono. I've heard Mulan is one of the nicest princesses at Epcot -- sadly we didn't have much Epcot time and didn't get to see her. Your Jasmine outfit is awesome as well and we had a very nice Jasmine and even better Aladdin so hope your experience with them was fabulous too.

You have sooooooo much cute stuff I can't even remember all that I wanted to comment on! I loved the Cars set too! And I've seen that Mickey transportation fabric and it's adorable and looked awesome on your bowling shirt.

I would have loved to have seen pics of your dress, but let me guess, you are the one always behind the camera too?

Thanks for sharing your fabulous photos!

This was kind of a family celebratory trip so that's why it was longer than usual. I can't decide if it was good or bad - I was definitely ready to leave by the last day! We probably won't be doing that long of a trip again for a few years.

We did get lots of positive comments, especially from CM. I think the universal favorite was the Cars outfits. They get lots of comments on those here at home too!

Mulan was as sweet as she could be. She signed a special autograph for Alison calling her "Mini-Mulan." She was not expecting to see a 3 1/2 ft Mulan walking up to her for sure! We had never met Mulan before but given DD's obsession as of late, I decided that I would park myself in China until we met her! Luckily she was out with a short line as we passed so we didn't have to do anything extreme.

Jasmine and Aladdin were very nice when we met them. We also saw them in the Halloween parade and they danced over and blew kisses to Alison. I thought she would faint right there! Jasmine and Ariel are very close runners up to the title of favorite princess.

I am always the one behind the camera! I had intended to get my oldest to take pics before we left (I made myself a Jamie dress for our dinner at Yachtsman and a different Jamie for Aloha) but time was always of the essence. I have to be on it with the camera - we had breakfast at Tusker House when we went to AK. I came back from the buffet to see Daisy walking away from the table. I asked DH if he had gotten a pic of the kids with Daisy and I got the blank stare in return. I had to go ask Daisy's CM friend if she could swing back by the table for a pic! If I wasn't on camera duty, we'd have no pictures of our trips!
