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

[Sandi S]

Oh My! Those are super cute! Such great fabric choices, and the appliques are TDF!


I need to get to sewing. It's been a busy 2 days. Our cat had to have emergency surgery yesterday and lost over half of his intestines due to eating thread. He got into the thread on my serger last week, and I didn't know it, but some of it got stuck on the back of his tongue and then knotted up in his tummy and eventually started slicing through everything. He had over 20 slices to his intestines. I feel sooo bad that this happened to him. He's home now, but it was iffy yesterday if he would make it. I'm giving him more IV fluids at home. So, moral of the story, watch your kitties around thread. It's deadly to them. The vet said it's the deadliest thing a cat could eat. We're lucky to still have him.

Poor kitty!! I have three cats and I try to be careful with my thread because I am afraid of something like this. I have one cat who will chew the serger thread if I don't drop the stand down. (I have a nice cover but I rarely use it.)

I started working on a shirt for me to wear to AK - it's a beautiful cotton voile with a large scale colorful animal print. I'm making McCall's 6512 - the short sleeve view - out of it.

Love these! What a great idea!

Those are so cute! Wish I had time to make pirate skirts for my nieces and a pair of pirate shorts for DS before we go. Maybe if I get my butt in gear I can pull it off.

Oh no! Poor kitty. I'd worry about that with our cat, but she is almost 17 years old and doesn't jump up on the tables and desks anymore. She is basically a sleepy lump under DH's desk or on the couch. I'm still careful though as I don't want my dog to get into it either. Hope your kitty recovers quickly.

That looks like a nice shirt. I might have to go look for that pattern at some point. Can't wait to see your finished shirt.

Do you go to Mary Jo's in Gastonia? I haven't been in a while, but I love it. I'm in central NC.

I do! Where abouts in central NC are you? My husband & I both attended Elon (College when we were there) University in Burlington.

Marianne just made the cutest ever pirate outfits for Keira's BG -- I know she posted pics here but it might be easiest to go to the BG site and look at Keira's BG for the pics. She just reposted the girl's outfit on D's ptr and D just posted some cute things there. I also made pirate themed Insa's with t's for Madison's BG -- I posted pics here but it was sometime in the summer so I'll see if I can readily grab a pic and post what I did (Marianne's is way cuter for a pirate cruise):

I never put things in the BG group photo album -- I really should learn how to do that!

I LOVED those pirate outfits you did for Madison's BG! FAB-U-LOUS!

I always forget we have the BG group photo album too . . . if you figure out how to add pics, let me know

And THANK YOU! for your kind words about my pirate outfits! I did have a blast making them and cannot WAIT to see pics of them in action. So exciting that they're in WDW now!
Here's a pic of the brother/sister pirate outfits I did. Easy Fits (chopped up hem using pinking shears), Pirate Mickey Head Hand-Appliqued T-shirt, felt vest with pirate mickey head on the back for the brother. Scrap Fabric Tutu, portrait peasant shirt (with modified bell sleeves), faux corset top with shirred back for the sister. I also added some black leggings to wear under the tutu in case they were needed.

Mphalens I didn't grab your quote but I love all the dr. Seuss clothes you made!!!

Aw! Thanks! :

So I spent a little while playing around with another pair if Easy fits, trying to make them girly without adding ruffled to the bottom. I didn't make a shirt because I'd bought several summer themed tanks at Walmart last fall for $1 each and one them matches this pretty well. Here is what I came up with today:

I wish I'd put the pockets a little bit lower. I might take them off and move them down.

Here is a better picture of the pocket:

Here is a picture of the keyhole opening on the legs and the tie. This was hard to get a picture of. I wish my niece had been here to try these on.

Commented on Facebook, but I just LOVE these, Diane!

Here's what I made for our trip last June. The shorts actually have Mickey pirates but they are hard to see.

That's the same Peter Pan Finn got to meet on his way to Pirate's League!!! Such a cutie-patootie

Andrea.... I don't remember seeing these before... OMG - they are AWESOME!!!!! If I wouldn't have done our pirate outfits already, I would have cased these!



If you go to the table of contents of my PTR (link in my siggy) - I have made a few things for my teen girls... They will be 12 & 13 when we go next week. I also made them custom bags to carry in the parks...



OK - so I commented on these on FB... but I did not see a pic with the keyhole.... I totally love it!!! Really adds a lot to the EF pants.





I just posted pirate outfits for my almost teenage daughters and I in my PTR... the link is in my siggy.

Marianne, I missed your quote (I didn't go back that far)... But you know I love the outfits you made for the boys... I hope you'll take pics and post them in action too.

I know I am missing a lot of stuff - so sorry... I try to hard to keep up here, but then I get busy and I miss a lot.

D~

hi D~ ! Did you notice a jump will be coming up sometime soon? Are we moving buddies again?

I neglected to get a pic of Finn in his outfit today . . . I was so wrapped up in getting him to the pediatrician, making sure Dave got the special One Fish, Two Fish jello snack to the preschool on time (we have allergy kids in Finn's class and their parents have to sign off on snacks), etc. that I was lucky to get out the door on time. Tomorrow is his Cat in the Hat day though - I promise I'll get a pic!

 

[Sandi S]

I do! Where abouts in central NC are you? My husband & I both attended Elon (College when we were there) University in Burlington.

I'm in Sanford. I do a lot of fabric shopping at Elegant Stitches and the Patsy Aiken/Chez Ami outlet when it's open (in addition to J's and H's and my online faves).

 

[SallyfromDE]

Hi All! I had to take a 3 year hiatus but I am going back!!! Not till summer 2013 but I have started saving and started planning so it feels real! Last time I went to wdw my dd was only 8 and I was able to make some really cute outfits. This time she will be 12 and her tastes have "matured" but I still want to sew some theme outfits. If anyone has any cute ideas for a 12 year old girl please post pics!!! Thanks!

My tween 2 trips ago.

But she likes the style and asked for more, for out Spt trip.

I didn't like this one, but Kirsta had been asking for a few years for MP outfit.

And our annual special dinner:

I think I'd like to redo this one as a tunic:

 

[cogero]

so Js school does this thing for March Madness a different event for every day of March.

Tomorrow is National Pig Day so everyone is supposed to wear pink. Well J is wearing a shirt with piglet on it (Last year it was Hamm)

Friday is Crazy Hat day so I just finished a shirt with Dr. Suess Hat on it because there is no way J will wear a hat.

While doing the Dr. Suess Hat applique my 770 crapped out. The needle kept getting stuck down and it was creating a birds nest underneath. I am going to put it in my truck and see if I can drop it off tomorrow morning. It has over 2,000,000 stitches so maybe it needs a trip to the spa.

Luckily I was able to start over on my Duetta so it wasn't horrible and I do love that my Duetta cuts all the threads. I just like having 2 embroidery machines so I don't have to switch back and forth and have a back up.

These are ADORABLE!!! I always just poke around the Gives I'm contributing to to keep tabs. I should really look around the board more!

Here's what I made for our trip last June. The shorts actually have Mickey pirates but they are hard to see.

I'm almost thinking that would be smarter to do for June (the lighter customs as opposed to costumes). Too bad I can't ask the kids!! Darn surprise trip!

It's my kiddos' first time to do Pirates' League. How did yours like it?

If you go to the table of contents of my PTR (link in my siggy) - I have made a few things for my teen girls... They will be 12 & 13 when we go next week. I also made them custom bags to carry in the parks...

I really like the scraps on your "hideous" pants!! I also LOVE all of your bags!

Here's a pic of the brother/sister pirate outfits I did. Easy Fits (chopped up hem using pinking shears), Pirate Mickey Head Hand-Appliqued T-shirt, felt vest with pirate mickey head on the back for the brother. Scrap Fabric Tutu, portrait peasant shirt (with modified bell sleeves), faux corset top with shirred back for the sister. I also added some black leggings to wear under the tutu in case they were needed.

My niece would TOTALLY be into this tutu!! I think it would look cool over her pettiskirt, too! This is even the color scheme I'm going with for the outfits.

Thanks, gals!! I knew you would have some inspiration for me! Now to see what I can put together over the next couple months!!

 

[GlassSlippers]

Agree with others that Carla makes patterns for adults and are under the name Sis-Boom, so try those. I have also used her instructions for upsizing her patterns for the Simply Sweet and Bowling Shirt and both worked well.

Where can we find the instructions for up-sizing these two patterns? I love them both but everybody at my house is all grown up!

Thanks!

Good for you for making something for yourself! I am trying to be better about sewing for myself along with my kiddos. It's hard because clothes just seem to be so much cuter for kids than adults! But I'm trying! Can't wait to see how it turns out.

ACK!!! That's such a bummer about the 770! I hope it's nothing major and you can get it back quickly! I know you still have a lot of projects you were wanting to work on for your upcoming trip (I've been lurking on your PTR...I'm really bad about that!). Phew for having a back-up embroidery machine, you lucky girl!

Okay, I didn't go back far enough to grab the quotes, but I also wanted to say:

WELCOME to DAN! I know NOTHING about digitizing but I hope you are able to figure stuff out and can't wait to see what you do!

mphalens: the Dr. Suess outfits were great!

Loved the Lorax shirt with the mustache! (Sorry, I don't remember exactly who did it!)

mandy92: LOVED your simply sweet Cinderellie dress!

Okay, so I finally started on my VERY FIRST DISNEY RELATED PROJECT for our trip in August! I am SO excited about our trip (will be my family's 1st). I have 3 girls (ages 8, 6, and 3) and one boy (1yo.) to sew for.

Today I started the first Tshirt dress my 3yo will wear. Minnie is her favorite. This shirt fits really slim but is also really long so this will look kind of like a flappers dress. I have two more tees like this (same cut/fit, different designs) for my other two DDs and will work on those.

And a close up of the "skirt" portion I added on:

I'm so happy with how this turned out! It looks just like it did in my head! (Don't you just love it when that happens?)

Okay, that's enough blathering on from me. I can't wait to see what everyone else keeps coming up with!

Here it is on the Disboutique blog:

Hope that helps!

*edit*I've never used these instructions to upsize a pattern before and I don't know how well they would work when trying to go to adult sizes (because then you start needing to account for curves) but I just wanted to post where I had seen the instructions before.

Piglet was a great idea! So sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your machine. Maybe it will be something simple like some thread stuck inside somewhere. You are lucky to have the Duetta too. Does the Duetta cut the jump stitches? If so, I would never be using the 770!

That turned out adorable. Can't wait to see what designs you make for your two other dds. I love when you imagine how something is going to look and when you make it, it does look just like what you pictured.

Yes, I did notice... You're gonna have to text me if it happens while we are at WDW...

Bummer about no pics yesterday... can't wait to see the ones for today!

So, moral of the story, watch your kitties around thread. It's deadly to them. The vet said it's the deadliest thing a cat could eat. We're lucky to still have him.

Oh no!!! One of cats has vomited small pieces of thread (and long pine needles that the dogs drag in on their fur and any plant matter or rafia he can eat) but he's too old to jump up on things and actually steal thread. Our younger cat has no interest in thread, but loves it when I'm working with bias tape and dental floss. She even stole floss out of the trash can once -- I think that could result in surgery too.

I hope your cat recovers well. It sounds like an awful surgery but I'm gald he made it and am keeping him in my prayers.

Andrea.... I don't remember seeing these before... OMG - they are AWESOME!!!!! If I wouldn't have done our pirate outfits already, I would have cased these!

D~

These were for a BG but I think I usually get around to posting most of my BG items here too. These were the first Insas I ever made. Thanks for the compliments

Oh no! Poor kitty. I'd worry about that with our cat, but she is almost 17 years old and doesn't jump up on the tables and desks anymore. She is basically a sleepy lump under DH's desk or on the couch. I'm still careful though as I don't want my dog to get into it either. Hope your kitty recovers quickly.

We have a 16 year old as well -- he could never jump up onto my sewing table or counter, but he has gotten ahold of stray threads on the floor. He also can still jump onto beds (sometimes not on the first try) so he spends most of the day on dd's bed or our bed.

I'm so sad that your machine is Thank goodness you have the back up!

Where can we find the instructions for up-sizing these two patterns? I love them both but everybody at my house is all grown up!

Thanks!

Lori in East Podunk

These are the instructions from Carla:
I was looking at the size charts in my patternmaking textbook, and it seems like the larger "tween" sizes increase pretty proportionally. I did the math to get the differences in the sizes so that the pattern pieces could be scaled up on a copy machine.

to go from an 8 to a 10, scale up 103%
to go from an 8 to a 12, scale up 106%
to go from an 8 to a 14, scale up 110%

to go from a 10 to a 12, scale up 103%
to go from a 10 to a 14, scale up 106%
to go from a 10 to a 16, scale up 110%

You'll want to go to a place like Kinko's that has nice machines so you can adjust the scale to whatever you want, and also so you can select a larger paper size (I think you can go up to 11X17 in most machines).

I haven't tried this personally (I just do the scaling in my drawing program), but these are the percentages I would use. This should work for most patterns (not just mine) that are free-fitting like the peasant top/dress. With more fitted styles, keep in mind that as girls develop, the hip/waist ratio changes, and also the bustline changes. So for something like the a-line, scaling up might not work. Boys are easy - they stay pretty much the same until they either get big muscles or a beer belly !

Teresa told me a program to use but I couldn't get it to work so I just calculate the size to increase the pattern and hand draw it.

Oh my goodness! those pirate outfits rock my face off! LOVE THEM!!!

I love what you did with the t! My dd would so love something like that.

Sooo cute! I'm thinking of doing something similar to this with this shirt from the Disney Store:

I was originally going to make a ruffle joy skirt to go with it, but the top is big on her, and so I think it would make a great top to a tshirt dress.

What do you think? T-shirt dress or Ruffle Joy skirt?


Thanks for the well wishes on my kitty. He's doing better. He ate a little this morning. I'll probably take his IV out this afternoon if he keeps this up. I'm so happy that we got to him in time.

Piglet was a great idea! So sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your machine. Maybe it will be something simple like some thread stuck inside somewhere. You are lucky to have the Duetta too. Does the Duetta cut the jump stitches? If so, I would never be using the 770!

Yes it does. It is one of the things I love about it. I just hate switching back to sew LMAO.

I think I am going to have the 770 serviced and then use the Duetta more.

And a close up of the "skirt" portion I added on:

That is so cute! And so very Minnie! Love it!

Sooo cute! I'm thinking of doing something similar to this with this shirt from the Disney Store:

I don't think you can go wrong either way but I'd probably go with the t-shirt dress. Can't wait to see what you decide.

Glad to hear that your kitty is doing better too!

I have my Ellageo set up only for embroidery. I never use it to sew on. I use my Brother se270 for sewing and I never embroider with it. Funny that both have the capability to do both things on both machines but I don't use them that way. Luckily I have the space to have all 3 of my machines set up all the time.

My First Dis creation!

DD 'needed' a princess (Cinderella according to her - 4) dress for our breakfast at CRT in March. Since she is really sensitive to how things feel I came up with this solution. It is an Old Navy 'ballet' bodysuit (with attached skirt) and a Cinderella skirt. I had to add puff sleeves to the bodysuit .....

I am SOO happy with how it turned out. Her little sis (9 months) has a matching outfit.
