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

[PurpleEars]

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!

Everything is fabulous.

I was so sick yesterday that I wasn't able to work on a skirt for my cousin. So today I am going to try and finish that and a matching shirt.

I also want to make an outfit for my Godson since my cousin wants me to make him 2 outfits for his birthday in January. This will be a test for those.

I IMMEDIATELY saw the wood on the stairs...my stairs still have the ugly builder's beige carpet because my hubby said it was too much trouble to put the hardwood on them. I have the wood still in my garage for the last 2 bedrooms and the stair case! (and probably enough for the kitchen as well...we had a long running debate about tile vs hardwood for the kitchen...tile won, but I think we bought the wood when it was on sale for the whole house...)

I love LOVE LOVE your adult Insa. Especially the easy fits underneath. My daughter wanted to wear a skirt this trip but was unsure of how she would be able to navigate getting on and off the rides...let's just say she took a year of ballet and at the end was able to walk across the living room floor with out falling! She ended up wearing shorts but was self conscious all day.

I've been thinking about those Mickey heads for one of our Epcot days next year. I will bookmark your skirt for a reminder of that...who knows, I might even make a skirt for me...or not.

I love seeing your customs in action FluffandStuff...I wish I had been able to take more pictures of our trip, but it just didn't work out the way I had planned it. We even had trouble getting enough Photopass pictures to make it worth while...which angers me to no end...considering I had to pay an extra $100 to get FREE dining and that stupid photo book!

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..

I love your World Showcase skirt. It turned out fabulous! The shorts underneath are very smart! And you can tell your hubby that he did a wonderful job on the hardwood floors on your steps!

The outfits look awesome! So great to see them in action! Your dd must have gotten tons of additional attention.

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.

Lots of great stuff posted while we were away. Nini, I am so sorry about your DH's friend.

StuffandFluff - Great customs!!

I know there is a ton I missed, but WTMTQ!!

Ellen welcome back and love seeing your shirt in action.

Nini welcome back!

I didn't realize that there were disboutiquers who live so incredibly close to me! I live about 10 minutes from the N.Smithfield SuperWalmart, in MA. We should have a DisMeet in the WalMart fabric section. lol.

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

WOW what a beautiful skirt. And great job on the stairs. We need to redo our stairs as they are so knicked up!

Ellen welcome back! I really love that top and so want to get my hands on that fabric. I just love it.

 

[cajunfan]

That's a wonderful idea! I am thinking hats of different types? Anything from wizards to just halloween fabric bucket hats should do. Another idea I have is aprons (I remember one of the moderators from the DisAbilities board posted some apron costumes for her DD who uses a wheelchair - I think it was posted quite a while back though)

How nice of you and the other lady to want to make costumes for the kids in the hospital. I think the idea of capes are wonderful. You could also make some simple chef hats so the kids could be chefs or a mob cap/sun bonnet so that they could be pioneer girls. Paired with an apron, either of those would make a great costume. A red cape would be good for little Red Riding Hood. You could add mouse ears or cat ears to a headband and then whip up a simple tail to pin to the child's back end.

Thanks for the suggestions...I will have to check out the disabilities board. We have lots of easy ideas for girls, but I am really struggling for boys.

Sorry you drove there. They actually closed last week and opened a super Walmart off 146A in Smithfield. I just checked out their fabric department yesterday and they had some cool pirate fabric that I had been wanting for a while.

So where do you live? Hopefully it wasn't that far of a drive.

If I get a chance to go there and I see anyone looking a Disney fabric. I'll ask them if they are a member. That would be funny if we met in the store.

Where did you get the floral fabric, and the aqua dots? I have been looking for them for over a week now, and haven't been able to find them IRL or online!!

Hi Everyone! Welcome Home Nini!!

It is CHILLY here this morning!!! Its a challenge for us to see how long we can go without turning the heat on. Billy's parents are coming in a month though, and we will probably have to turn on the heat for them.

Today was my first day back to 4 and 5 Sunday School. I take off the summer. My Hannah was a MESS when it was time for me to leave. I almost gave in and either stayed with her or took her home - but I was strong! lol....its so hard when they say....."All - I - Want - Is - YOU!!!!!!" But I knew I had to have her stay - she's been adjusting since Tim moved up into the first grade class.....she was thrilled that I was back with her today - we had 22 little kids!!!!!

We are doing well with Owen's Big Give. If there is anyone who would like to help, even if you haven't before, we'd love to have you!!! We could use both Chef Mickey and Crystal Palace outfits, Family Wish shirts, eye spy bags, family scrap book etc. We'd love it if you joined us!!! This little guy is just so sweet - also just learned that he has recently become a HUGE Star Wars FAn!!!!!!!

 

[cogero]

went with the kiddos to AC Moore and bought some fat quarters and a jelly roll that DD wants me to make a skirt for her.

Also bought all my shirts for the give and 2 other projects.

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.

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

Im not a big hooper - lol. I like to hoop the stabilizer, and then use sticky spray and a basting stitch to put the shirt on the hoop. I still always babysit and move edges of shirts out of the way though.....have FUN!!

I am very new to this, but the last 2 shirts I made I did not hoop and it was so much easier. I hooped some sticky+ and then stuck the shirt to it. I did sit there the whole time it stitched out because I didn't want to make a mistake!

I am sooooooo frustrated, this is now my third attempt at trying to get this multiquote to post. Sorry I'm so far behind, it's been impossible to keep up with the thread!
1. Love the halloween skirts!
2. Nini- glad you had a good trip, despite all the bumps- congrats on the bounceback!

3. Welcome newbies- must see pics!

Where did you get the floral fabric, and the aqua dots? I have been looking for them for over a week now, and haven't been able to find them IRL or online!!

I got it at a local quilt store; according to the selvege it is Red Rose Farm by Elizabeth Scott for P&B Textiles- HIH; I absolutely loooooooove this range, wish I bought more- it makes me happy just looking at it!

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!

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 don't hoop anything but a reasonably heavyweight stabilizer and then I float my fabric on top using 505 spray. If it's a knit, I also use an iron on stabilizer on the back of the shirt before floating it. Works like a charm.
