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

[Delaney21]

Hi everyone! I was looking through the photo album for this group this past weekend and my DS came up behind me and started going crazy over everything. You are all so talented!!

So, now I think I'm going to need to have custom outfits made for my kids. I was able to talk him down from having matching outfits for every day to just one day! : He picked out a dress for his sister and shirts for himself and his little brother...and now I need to find someone to make them for us. What is the best way to go about this? Is there a way to figure out who made them based on the original picture or is there a better way to go about this? MAW said his trip won't be at least until March or later, so right now I just want to get prices so I can start to budget things, but depending on prices, I may be looking to have it started in January so I can spread some of the costs out.

Thanks everyone!

Delaney, you can post the pic here and we can probably tell you who made it, but keep in mind that not all on this thread sell. Most just make for their own use. Then you can pm the maker, but we can't sell on the dis.

Thanks for the advice!

This is the dress he picked out for Mallory:

And this shirt set for him and Mason:

I'm so glad we have a pattern tester because I have that pattern on my list of things to make for MYSELF (not that I ever will!). Are the zippers well explained? I haven't done zippers yet. Yours looks flawless (well except for the bloody nose and the fact that you made a sock monkey purse!).

Thanks, sorry about the sock monkey, LOL! My niece loves them though (she is 18) and I did it for her for fun. Not sure if she will really carry it in public or not.

The zippers actually are explained very well and were not too difficult. The most difficult part for me was sewing on the little tab over the end of the zipper because it was hard to get to it. Otherwise I didn't think it was too bad at all.

I can share pictures from a couple of Big Give related projects as they have arrived at their destinations:

First up, a set of Portrait Peasants for 2 girls:

Next, we have a couple of blouses for a teen:

I also made a wristlet/wallet prototype over the weekend. I will take a picture of it when I finish making these Christmas gift tags.

Can't wait to see your wristlet. I am sure it looks great! I love the Big Give items, especially the the portrait peasants. They turned out very cute!

A while back I mentioned that I wanted to make a bag for my niece and liked the style of D's bags. Someone here pointed me in the direction of a pattern called the 2 zip hipster. I tried it and really like how it turned out.

Certainly not as creative as D with her hand applique, but I think it turned out nice and it is a very good pattern, the instructions were good and even though there are a lot of pieces and steps it went together fairly quickly. I started yesterday morning and completed it this morning, maybe 4 hours total.

Oops, noticed a stray red thread on the poor monkeys nose, better go get rid of that!

Thanks for looking!

I love the bag. I am going to have to check out that pattern. Is that on YCMT? I was afraid to try the Rosetta bag from there for a while and that turned out pretty easy. I even added zippers to two of them following D's instructions. I'd love to try something this size that would be more practical and I'd get more use from. I think that the sock monkey purse is very cute! I have a friend who loves sock monkeys. I made her a sock monkey key chain wristlet over the summer.

Not sure about the dress, but I made the shirt/vest/shorts outfit. Feel free to PM me or check me out on Etsy or Facebook. I can't sell here.

Thanks Diane. I got it from Dog Under my Desk (available on etsy or her own website I believe.) Search for Two Zip Hipster. I did not see it on youcanmakethis.

These are super cute.

Update on Kylee......

they are finally home!!!! she will be on IV antibiotics at home for a few more days, but happy to be home!

thanks for all your prayers!

Kris must be so happy to be home

I am just learning how to sew, but have made lots of no sew projects and freezer paper shirts and T's in the past.

What specifically have you made for boys? There are so many fantastic things you can do for girls, but for boys I am at a loss. We are toss around the idea of going to Disney in either May/June or Nov./Dec. and I want to get a head start on our Mickey Wear.

Thanks!

I have two boys and for our trip this past July I made them all shorts using Carla's easy fit pants.

That came out cute. I did buy a hipster bag off of YCMT website but I think I just like the idea of making bags and not actually sewing one.

I've been reading some TRs and have seen some really cute designs such as Rapunzel (cute, with big eyes), Pascal, Belle and The Beast (Both cute, with big eyes) and Chip and Dale.

I was wondering if there is any way to get these made into iron on appliques?
I don't have any embroidery equipment.

I really want to make a few shirts etc (Including for adults!)

Thanks
Laura

If you see a picture you like right click on it and save it to your files. Then you can print it out on Iron on transfer paper.

Super cute purse. I think my cousin would like something like that (she is really into monkeys in general). I almost bought myself (yet another) purse pattern last night on YMCT, which was a similar pattern. I had to tell myself no as I have a whole bunch of purse patterns already (and I can't make them for Gives because they will be too bulky to ship). Besides, I am still holding out hope that D will sell hers at some point.

I just booked my next trip!

I will be going on the Disney Wonder and then staying at BWPPI and visiting DL/DCA for 4 days.

I'm not taking my niece's or my nephew (I offered but nobody would let me). My mom decided to come.

I don't know what or if I will make anything for this trip. I really enjoy sewing for my niece's and nephew, but not so much for adults.

I hope everyone is almost ready for Christmas-I'm not. I have so much to do!

Congrats on your new trip!

The work you all do is amazing, I wish I was even half as talented as you all!

I would suggest looking at etsy (disclaimer: I DO NOT sell on etsy or anywhere else for that matter)

Everything is great, but I ADORE the Lilo and Stitch. I love how you did the appliques on the top portion and the fabric you use is beyond awesome. Outstanding work!

Thanks. Heather's applique patterns are simply amazing to stitch out! I've had the flower fabric in my stash for years. I didn't realize it was panels of flowers when I bought it (came from the $1.97/metre bin from Wal-Mart back when they sold fabric). The length of the panels worked out perfectly for the dress. The girls looked so beautiful in those dresses!


Ok, 2 more Christmas gift tags to go! I should be able to get them done tonight.

 

[Delaney21]

Not sure about the dress, but I made the shirt/vest/shorts outfit. Feel free to PM me or check me out on Etsy or Facebook. I can't sell here.

Thanks! I just sent you a message! If anyone knows about the dress, please let me know! Thanks!

 

[cogero]

okay productive evening. I am almost done with the last pair of easy fits for the boy but I need to measure his waist and I can't find my tape measure

I also packed the last of the scrapbook store orders. Now to get rid of all the extras. I am selling them on one of my FB pages if anyone is interested LOL

Here are a few things that I have worked on lately.

Custom hospital gown:

Father and son firetruck shirts:

For my nephew to wear to Disney:

For my niece to wear at Disney:

I also made DD two shirts to wear at Disney but I didn't get a picture of them. I did a Dopey applique shirt and a Minnie Mouse head. I've also made a couple more zippered bags but I didn't take pictures of them either.

I am assuming you don't just want a simple iron on but an applique that you iron on, right? If so, pm me!

Great job on the clothing! Is the hospital gown for your friend who is undergoing cancer treatments? I hope she is doing well.

DH walked by and saw the picture of the ice cream cone shirt. He asked if it was a flower pot! Apparently it looks like a flower pot to him from a distance. I corrected him and thanked him for the chuckle.

The hospital gown is for another friend's father. He is a huge fisherman and loves sailing. He is having major spine surgery next month. She came over today and we made him the nautical themed hospital gown and we put "Capt. Richard" on the pocket. She is going to give it to him for Chanukah. When I say that "we" made the gown what I mean is that I cut and sewed it and she kept me company. But it was fun and he will appreciate it. We're not sure he will be allowed to wear it in the hospital but he'll still need it for a bit after he is allowed to come home.

That was funny that your DH thought that the ice cream cone was a flower pot. I didn't use the best color for the ice cream but I wanted it to match the skirt.

Hi ladies! I don't post enough, but I read all of the time! We took our second trip to Disney this month and I had some sort of custom for each of our 9 days! It was in part thanks to Teresa for rescuing me. My embroidery machine pooped out and I had 6 shirts left to do, so I was able to order the AWESOME appliqués from her and she overnighted them to me! I am going to try and post the photos!

It was so fun making them and we got lots of compliments which made the girls (and my) day! It was all inspired by you guys! thanks for giving me the courage to step out and try something new and find out I'm not that bad at it! Also, big thanks to Teresa for all the help!

I guess I am not good at reading the names on the gown! It is very sweet of you to do something like that for your friend's father. I hope he will have a smooth and speedy recovery from his surgery.

Thanks for sharing your pictures! I like the Star Wars set the best! Great job!

I should go and find the camera and take some pictures of my recent projects. I think this year has been the calmest Advent season I had for quite some time. We had the shopping completed two weeks ago. I just need to toss them in fabric bags and attach gift tags (The gift tags were on my project list in the last week). I even have the list of day-by-day tasks ahead of Christmas (e.g., start thawing turkey on Tuesday). Wish me luck on the turkey - it may be the first time I am "flying solo" on prepping the turkey. Please let me know if you have any secrets to make turkey tastes great!

Some projects to share:

My Christmas gift tags. They are embroidered on both sides so I showed 4 of them with the Mickey ornament side and 4 of them with the name side. The last one does not have a name on it - it is related to Disney movie trivia.

My wallet/wristlet prototype. I am thinking these may be another idea for Big Gives.

Thanks for looking!

I ran into a little girl & her family with a beautiful appliqued princess dress. The mom said that Ellenbenny made it for her. I thought it was pretty when I saw it posted but it is so much more gorgeous in person.

Love the ornaments and the wallet.

I wonder which dress? That is great that you were able to run into someone.
