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

[abcangie87]

WOW! Those are all so adorable! I love the Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty ones! May I CASE your Peter Pan shirt?? Love, love, love, it!




Those are SO cute! I want that pattern!




Love those Vader pjs! I have a bunch of that fabric and the other SW one that I've been using for a while now.


Ok, here are a couple pics of stuff for our trip.

The Animal Kingdom collection:

A close up of the outfit for dd. Butt ruffles!

The Peter Pan collection (to match my skirt):
I actually didn't end up liking the tan shirt for the boys so they have, plain green polos instead. We'll be wearing these on Saturday, Oct. 1st at Magic Kingdom for the 40th Anniversary celebration and our ADR at Chef Mickey's.

Close up of dress front on DD. This is the Precious Dress pattern:

That's all I've got pictures of so far. More to come later this week.

Ugh. I discovered the DisBoutique FIVE MINUTES ago and already have 'ooh, I want that!" going thru my head!

Love your stuff, two q's for you...where'd you get the Peter Pan fabric? And how did you do the Animal Kingdom logo/pic thing? My MIL has two embroidery machines, but I dont think she knows how to digitize. I certainly don't know how to do that. Anyone have a link to something that tells me HOW to turn something into a digital file that would work on MILs machine?

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.

This turned out adorable! I just love it!

There are designs you can buy and put on a flash drive. I am not sure who's design that is. What kind of machine does your Mil have?

I am also not sure who designed the Tree of Life design in that picture. I am pretty sure I've seen that Peter Pan fabric at Hobby Lobby and I know I've seen it on Fabric.com. Most people buy their designs from digitizers who have shops either on etsy or at their own website. Some machines take thumb drives and some have to connect right to the computer. Other machines are older, like mine, and have floppy drives. But with virtually any machine you can purchase a design, download it to your computer and then transfer it to an embroidery machine to be stitched out. If your MIL already has two machines, I am sure she knows how to do this.

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

That is too funny. Also if D is gone.... I forgot where she is going I will substitute for her as your moving buddy

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

My kids love it. It is a really cool experience and the theme inside is awesome. My DD who is a girlie-girl liked this better than BBB.

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.

That came out great! I love that idea and I saw some real cute Minnie Tshirts at Target today.

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.

Jealous I wish the PE770 cut the jump stitches.

I think that logo might be Bows & Clothes but you have to sign up to see her character designs and for the Peter Pan fabric I purchased all mine from EBAY.

Most of us buy our designs. Frou Frou by Heathersue has lots of Dis designs.

Pictures to share! First up (a lot of you have seen these ont he BG site) are for Jayden's BG -- a Phineas and Ferb set with appliqued pockets. I already had the t-shirt applique set to make some shirts for my kids (which of course I have never done) and Heather was kind enough to send me the head set to use on the pockets.

And hopefully this works -- I'm stealing a pic the mom posted b/c these are the cutest boys and way better than the model I used for the BG photos:

And then dd's Suess outfit for today -- I wanted to do a circle skirt but was short on fabric so did a double layer twirl instead. I am not thrilled with the applique. First, this is a girl's medium shirt and it's a 5x7 applique. The height of the applique is 4.5 inches Why the designer couldn't fill the hoop is beyond me. And I am first showing a pic so you can see how tiny the satin stitching is and how I clearly didn't cut close enough to the fabric so had all these little frays to cut (which is impossible). I was mad I did red on red and should have outlined the red in black; however, the sating stitch doesn't go up to end of the fabric so I guess the red disguises that a bit:

Here is the completed set:

Enabler Alert!!!​

HSN is celebrating Craft Month today by have several Singer Shows. I believe the first one is around 10is this morning. (check your local listings ...I have it recorded because I might not be home...dang grocery shopping!) They have a couple Singer Embroidery machines that are special priced as well as some have 5 monthly pricing and free shipping. The one I am interested in, the quartet, is still showing as out of stock...but when I called, they told me I needed to wait until it was shown on tv to know for sure....



Anyway...I will probably be getting another backup 770... it won't cut into my Disney money too bad...

The quartet is the one I bought from them.
Its a pretty good machine so far, though I do hate that it doesnt cut the thread..guess I got spoiled with that!! I had to return the first one cause it just birdnested out of the box no matter what I did.
Im not expert at all with machines, but I do love having the 6x10 hoop and the gathering/ruffler foot works really good!

Andrea- The outfit for the twin boys is wonderful! I love how it turned out. Your colors are great and the appliques are so cute! Also, the pockets on the easy fit shorts are super! Everybody on FB has been asking for you to do a tutorial on how you did them and then post it over there!

That is a real shame about the Cat in the Hat applique. I can see all the problems you pointed out. I think that the outfit turned out extremely cute in the end but I do hate when I pay for a design and then find out that it doesn't sew out very well.

 

[chellewashere]

I don't think I have posted these outfits here. I am sorry if these are repeats for those of you who are following my pretrip report and follow me on Facebook.

This is a skirt with 2 shirts.

Emotions Skirt for Miss C

And Cs Animal Kingdom Outfit.

now I am going to make homemade Mac and Cheese for dinner.

Love them all especially the Mickey skirt

I've been hard at work again this weekend and finished these off before we headed to the in laws to 'watch' the Daytona 500. The 500 was a rainout, but we still had a great time with everyone. And I think having us all there helped my FIL not miss being at the race this year as much.
First, a spring time inspired purse for my MIL (she has been hinting since I made the messenger bags for the kids and upped that once I made a purse for myself). I found the pattern somewhere on the internet at some point:

I have to finish DH's before we leave but I wanted to give everyone else theirs when we saw them today. I made one for MIL and FIL even though they aren't coming with us now because as my DS said "We want gramma and papa to feel like they are still part of the family". I still have a few more shirts I would like to make before we leave and of course a messenger bag for myself. Guess I better get on those right away!

Love the bag!! The shirts came out great

I finished the two shirts for Finn's Dr Seuss outfits for the week! We got home from a thing at church at 8 and I hadn't started them at all (designs, etc). . . finished at 10:45 . . . not bad, right? If you already saw these on Facebook, I apologize!

The three pairs of pants (easy fits with pockets):

Lorax shirt (was totally inspired by the furry one posted!):

Love it!! Love the pockets

Love all the Dr. Suess stuff!!!!!

Finished a few projects yesterday!!!

Brianna's Minnie Mouse dress is finished!! She is going to wear it to BBB. She said when she gets bigger she is going to make me one too

An Ariel dress for her. It is a little big but thats ok...she can grow into it. I think she will use it for a bathing suit coverup while we are there too.

I am making 4 of these skirts (one for my DD and then the other 3 are for my neices) for when we go to Hoop-Dee-Doo. There will be 19 of us in our party...yikes!!!! They are going to wear a white tee shirt or tank top with these....

I made 4 of these too (one for me, one for my mom, sister, and MIL) to use instead of a big purse while we are at the parks. We can just throw our cash and tickets in them and put them in our pockets I hope they like theirs!! I am surprising them with them.

And this isnt for Disney but i am still gonna share it...A circle skirt for DD!!! We are going to American Girl Doll store on Friday to celebrate her 4th birthday and letting her get a doll and have brunch there. She has a ruffly pink long sleeve shirt to wear with it and white tights. The skirt goes past her knees and is so twirly!!!

Thanks for letting me share!!!! I still have 4 more skirts to make and a pair of boxers then I am ready to pack for Disney!!!!!!

Love the circle skirts..want to try one, but boy is that a lot of fabric. Love the disney outfits and the little holders are great

So cute! She is going to look like a doll!

I am loving all the Lorax and other Dr Suess stuff!! I might have to venture into applique once I am a little more confident. I am trying to gather up the nerve to do the girls easter dresses next month.


This is not Disney but I needed to use up some jelly roll strips that I have had forever so I "whipped" (and by whipped I mean it took me hours apon hours to piece and finish all the edges. Not to mention 3 spools of thread!) up this twirly skirt. I am not a huge fan of peace signs but it was mixed in and I wasnt going to waste it. My oldest somehow aquired a Justice shirt with a peace sign so I guess that works out. I also played with my ruffler foot for the first time and can I say that I AM IN LOVE!

Love how the skirt came together. I am so glad my new machine came with a ruffler foot

Everything looks great! You've been very, very busy! I love the Minnie dress and the way the apron buttons onto it. The skirts are adorable and I love the wallets.


A zipper really isn't very hard. I watched a couple of youtube videos and then did one. My first one was not the most beautiful but it wasn't bad. Now that I've done a few, I definitely am better at them than I used to be. I made my older DD a Dorothy costume for Halloween using the SS pattern. It turned out very well. She already had a white blouse which worked under it perfectly. Unfortunately she ended up not using it because she went trick or treating with a group of 15 girls and they choose a group costume. Maybe she'll use it next year. Otherwise, I will pass it along to somebody else.

Here is what I worked on over the weekend and then finished up this morning:

Here are the shorts with Andrea's style of pockets:

Then I did this dress. Last week I had been thinking of buying the Daisy dress pattern on YCMT. But in the end I decided to frankenpattern it myself. I am beyond happy with how it turned out. It was one of those things where I had an image in my mind of how I wanted the dress to look and when I was done, it looked exactly like what I had been dreaming of:

I also decorate this dress. I found it at Walmart for $5 and it is so soft and stretchy. I couldn't pass it up. Then I remembered that I had the Minnie Mouse zebra ribbon and the leopard print ribbon, so my ideas came together after I digitized the Safari Hat Minnie.

Love it all. The dresses are too darn cute!! Wish I could frankenpattern something and have it turn out. Great job

Last non-Disney project. I have been working on this one for a while but it was so sloppy that I decided to take it apart and redo it.

Great job!

I typically use 70's. I wonder if a smaller would work or break. It seems that the satin stitches are just so many stitches I guess.

While I'm at it, here is my finished Lorax dress. I'm so pleased with how this turned out!!! This is the Grace pattern and the fit is great!

Love love love it!!

My PE 770 arrived on Friday. I was so excited to open the box and get started.

I did a few test runs this weekend and purchased some extra designs and of course the Disney Font and Mickey/Minnie Heads.

For PE770 users or anyone that can help, when you buy the fonts in .PES format is it possible to select multiple letters for a monogram or do I have to embroider each letter separately and try to keep it lined up? When I tried it, I am only able to do 1 letter at a time. For the second letter I moved the position over a little, but it was well out of line. Can anyone help me figure out how I should do this?

Thanks for any advice.

Cant hlep but congrats on the machine

 

[DMGeurts]

That is too funny. Also if D is gone.... I forgot where she is going I will substitute for her as your moving buddy

AHEM!!! I am still here and while I am gone, it is even more important that I have a moving buddy - because I can just log on from my phone if I am in the parks. I know you all would hate to lose me in the move.

However, I am totally willing to share and we can do a 3-way??? I'll PM you my #. That way we are all sure to make the move.

Andrea, the BG outfits turned out adorable - and those boys are just the sweetest! I cannot wait to get back to doing BGs!

I am so sorry about the Seuss embroidery not stitching out correctly, but overall - I really love how the outfit turned out, I especially love the fabrics you chose to highlight the skirt - they are so Seuss-like!

I had requested to join the FB group, but didn't see a place to add my username here. I just went to find it again and I can't find it

My real name is Meg S-----. and my profile pic is my son and daughter in matching red shirt & dress in front of the Alice topiary in front of the mad tea cups. Can someone add me, pretty please

Edit to add that there are too many pages to quote since the last time I checked in, but everything looks fabulous!! Here are a few things I have been working on:

Mickey and Minnie snack bags:

Cinderella pink mice dress:

Minnie dress (my first applique with my se400 - it's not as "clean" as I'd like it to be, but I LOVE the rest of the dress!)

All adorable...really love the snack bags what a cute idea

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!

Love them!! They turned out so great!!

My girls who are 11 and 12 would not wear customs if we were going to Disney. They would wear some appliqued t-shirts or some tie dyed Mickey head t-shirts. With the tie dyed Mickey heads they were even willing to match me and DH.

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.

Came out cute. Love the keyhole...great job

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.

This looks comfy

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!

I have got to do this. I picked up quite a few thirts at Walmart for DD this would be a great way to make them different from everyone elses. Great idea

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.

Love how this turned out and the pockets w/ the heads are just great. They must have been so happy to receive them! And for the stitches..I have found that a fabric pen can work wonders covering up things

Ugh on the applique not stitching out well. Overall, I really like the Suess outfit. The skirt fabrics are fabulous!

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

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 think I might merge the two. A ruffle joy added to the bottom of the hem.

Question:

I would like to make the bottom edge of the shirt have the lettuce edge ruffles. If I just run it through my serger, will it naturally curl up like that with a rolled hem? If not, how can I do that?

Here's a pic of what I'm referring to in case I'm not describing it right:

Here is the completed set:

Super cute! The Suess outfit is adorable, and the stitching issues are not even noticable. I love the shorts outfits also.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm going to get at least the 770 but am going to hold out a little and see if the quartet comes back up. DH is a new customer there, so we can use code C11871 to get an additional 15% off!

Pictures to share! First up (a lot of you have seen these ont he BG site) are for Jayden's BG -- a Phineas and Ferb set with appliqued pockets. I already had the t-shirt applique set to make some shirts for my kids (which of course I have never done) and Heather was kind enough to send me the head set to use on the pockets.

Andrea I posted on the BG site that I love those pockets and your Suess outfit is adorable. Sometimes I think it is a combination of the fabric or the design because sometimes not matter how close I cut the fabric I get those little stray threads popping up.

AHEM!!! I am still here and while I am gone, it is even more important that I have a moving buddy - because I can just log on from my phone if I am in the parks. I know you all would hate to lose me in the move.

However, I am totally willing to share and we can do a 3-way??? I'll PM you my #. That way we are all sure to make the move.

Got it

Love your minnie dress it is adorable.

Thank you I think it may just be the needle plate needing to be replaced.

Thank you! And glad it sounds like it will be an easy fix.

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.

Thank you!

I love this - it's adorable!

Thank you!

Thanks for the compliments -- those were from a while back but I forget how many people are new here and don't see the original post. I really should learn to add to the group photobucket account.

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

Thank you! It was pretty easy to do and I love that now it's a complete outfit on it's own.

Love this!!!

Thank you!

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?

I think that Jessie T would make a great t-shirt dress. If I was doing it with that shirt, I would take off the bottom hem of the shirt where there's that extra white part and then add the ruffles so they touch the blue part. But even if you just leave it as is, it will still look really cute. Can't wait to see what you end up doing with it!

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

Thank you!

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.

LOVE it! Looks great and I'm glad it will be comfortable enough for her to want to wear it.

That came out great! I love that idea and I saw some real cute Minnie Tshirts at Target today.

Thank you!

Pictures to share! First up (a lot of you have seen these ont he BG site) are for Jayden's BG -- a Phineas and Ferb set with appliqued pockets. I already had the t-shirt applique set to make some shirts for my kids (which of course I have never done) and Heather was kind enough to send me the head set to use on the pockets.

And hopefully this works -- I'm stealing a pic the mom posted b/c these are the cutest boys and way better than the model I used for the BG photos:

And then dd's Suess outfit for today -- I wanted to do a circle skirt but was short on fabric so did a double layer twirl instead. I am not thrilled with the applique. First, this is a girl's medium shirt and it's a 5x7 applique. The height of the applique is 4.5 inches Why the designer couldn't fill the hoop is beyond me. And I am first showing a pic so you can see how tiny the satin stitching is and how I clearly didn't cut close enough to the fabric so had all these little frays to cut (which is impossible). I was mad I did red on red and should have outlined the red in black; however, the sating stitch doesn't go up to end of the fabric so I guess the red disguises that a bit:

Here is the completed set:

I am IN LOVE with the P&F set! So cute and looks great on those two boys! You are so sweet for making it for them. Sorry the Suess applique didn't stitch out as nicely as you wanted. The whole outfit looks adorable though. I loved the fabrics you used for the skirt. Great job!

Enabler Alert!!!​

HSN is celebrating Craft Month today by have several Singer Shows. I believe the first one is around 10is this morning. (check your local listings ...I have it recorded because I might not be home...dang grocery shopping!) They have a couple Singer Embroidery machines that are special priced as well as some have 5 monthly pricing and free shipping. The one I am interested in, the quartet, is still showing as out of stock...but when I called, they told me I needed to wait until it was shown on tv to know for sure....



Anyway...I will probably be getting another backup 770... it won't cut into my Disney money too bad...




Nini

Oh you enabler you. Fortunately for me I am wanting to get a serger before I think about an embroidery machine and they don't have the one I want so I get to keep my money for just a smidge longer

I have got to do this. I picked up quite a few thirts at Walmart for DD this would be a great way to make them different from everyone elses. Great idea

Thank you! it was really easy to do and like I told Andrea it makes turns the tees into a whole outfit that can be worn on it's own. Would love to see yours if you decide to make them.



Shoo you girls are chatty and so creative and I LOVE IT!!!!

I didn't get any sewing done yesterday but I hope to start working on some easy fits for my son. I am going to try adding on the pockets like I've seen Marieanne and some one else (sorry I don't remember who it was, maybe Diane?) do.

but I have a QUESTION We are going in August and it's going to be super hot. I have some BLACK LINEN that I was going to use for the shorts but was wondering your thoughts on if I should LINE THEM with muslin or if they would be okay un-lined???

thanks in advance for your suggestions!

YAY!!!! I've never tried a font other than what is supplied by the machine which you can use to put names together. I know Ann (Fruto) has a program that merges designs that was inexpensive though I never wrote down the name of it. I haven't seen Ann around lately either.

I am so shamelessly behind on this thread! I have been on the go like crazy lately. My young one is home sick today so I finally have a second to try to catch up while she is sleeping.
The program I use is called Sew What Pro and it's $60. Very simple and basic and can be used with any fonts you purchase.
Ok...back to try I catch up some more.

 

[NiniMorris]

I think I might merge the two. A ruffle joy added to the bottom of the hem.

Question:

I would like to make the bottom edge of the shirt have the lettuce edge ruffles. If I just run it through my serger, will it naturally curl up like that with a rolled hem? If not, how can I do that?

Here's a pic of what I'm referring to in case I'm not describing it right:

Super cute! The Suess outfit is adorable, and the stitching issues are not even noticable. I love the shorts outfits also.



Thanks for the heads up! I'm going to get at least the 770 but am going to hold out a little and see if the quartet comes back up. DH is a new customer there, so we can use code C11871 to get an additional 15% off!

If I am not mistaken...somewhere close to the end of the hour they mentioned it would be back in stock some time in April...
