Disboutiquers Part 28 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[dianemom2]

DH just gave me the go ahead to book a weekend in December so we can go to MVMCP!!! That means Christmas customs, right?!! We'll be at the party Friday, and have Saturday and Sunday to play around where ever we want. Now I need ideas. I'm planning on matchy matchy something for at least me and the girls, with Rebecca in something that screams Mickey Christmas, and probably shirts for the big sisters (at 15 & 20 that's all I can hope for, lol!). I'd make something for DH, but he doesn't always cooperate because he's boring.

Now I need ideas...suggestions are welcome!

How fun! It could be pretty chilly. The night we did that, we were in winter coats, hats and mittens. Maybe you should plan matching sweatshirts??? I did a set for a Big Give a few months ago and they turned out really cute!

Would you believe that stinker of mine wore that dress all day today with no problems? : i can't tell now when it's really SId or she's just needing attention....but either way the dress is ok now..go figure

Great! Maybe she just needed some time to get used to it. Probably a nice soft t-shirt underneath will take care of any problems if she decides that the dress still bothers her.

Those are fantastic!!!


QUESTION I made DD a simply sweet today, and I made a size 4 because when I measured her she was just over the measurement for a 3. She LOVES it when shes standing up but when she sits the bodice rises up making the straps up to her ears and she is not happy with how it feels..she is swimming in the thing. Is there any way I can make it a bit smaller (straps and bodice) or should I just pack it away till next year... it was for our breakfast with Pooh and friends, and I am so sad it is too big and i was so happy with how it came out. This was snapped moments before she sat down..freaked out and tore it off

Would you believe that stinker of mine wore that dress all day today with no problems? : i can't tell now when it's really SId or she's just needing attention....but either way the dress is ok now..go figure

I think the dress is great and I'm glad she solved her own problem.

Yeah!!!! We'll be there at christmas too. I'm trying to come up with ideas for christmas customs as well.

We are doing December too! We will be there December 10th-15. We are doing the MVMCP too! On the 12th I think. I am doing something with the princesses dressed in Christmas outfits and one with this great Mickey Christmas fabric i got. I am also doing a great epcot dress with new Alexander Henry fabric that has kids around the world in Winter wear! I already have 1 set of shirts for us i made for our Christmas pics last year. Don't know what else we will do yet.

Thank you everyone for your kind words about the loss of my mother-in-law Rosemary. It's been unbelievably hard. There are some issues that aren't making things easier. Brian and I are actually talking about taking a Disney vacation in October, just to get away for awhile.

Sending cyber HUGS and prayers that you are able to heal from this loss.

CONGRATS on getting to go for Christmas! I don't have any ideas, because I've never gone during this time, but I'm sure others will help you figure out some great ideas.

HURRAY for not having to fix it!

You guys both made me cry! This sounds so cliche, but it's just nice to know that people care.

It isn't cliche Teresa, we do care!! What I have found through the years is that most people simply don't know what to say, so they often say nothing. Since I am horrible about timely PM's I wanted to tell you I answered yours finally.

Diane, I am sorry your vacation didn't turn out the way it should have and I am keeping your DH, Dad and entire family in prayer

Sunshine, I still can't wait to see the Jessie outfit in action.

TinkNH, 3 of mine have SID and it affects all three differently....even on different days. I am happy your DD is now enjoying her new dress.

Prayers for the young lady healing from the spinal injury!

WTMTQ, I have been MIA for days, I just had to respond to Teresa!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREA!!!!!!

Check out Heather's site for some cute Christmas Disney stuff and VTU has some pretty princesses in winter clothing.

Happy Birthday!!

Not cliche at all.... sometimes it hard to imagine they are gone since they were part of your life for so long.

Hi everyone

I have been lurking for awhile. You all do such amazing work!! I finally built up enough posts to share my recent project. It's a ruffle pop skirt, with a small twist. I couldn't resist the doubloons :good vibes


My daughter is visiting her grandparents this week, so I can't close up the back until I make sure it fits her right. Please excuse the elastic hanging out in the back.

 

[pyrxtc]

All this talk of trips makes me envious. We don't have any trips trips in our pans for the next 1-1 1/2 years. The only way we'll be going is if we win a trip. December was my favorite time to be there. I spent Christmas week there this past year and we had one of our best vacations.

Sooooo cute! I love it. The doubloons are a nice addition. Plus I'd bet she'll love the jingle. I just finished pirate bowling shirts for my boys and they're my favorite project so far.

I saw those - they are adorable!! I've made a lot of bowling shirts for my little guy, but I haven't played around too much with mixing fabrics. Yours look amazing!

Oh, Teresa! People really care. I'm not the most frequent poster, here or on fb, but I did pray for your family.

Question?

Are there any special tricks to embroider on towels? My 8-year-old is going to Bible camp for a week and is a little nervous about it. I wanted to make her a few special things to take with her and thought about embroidering her name on a few towels and making a toiletry bag, etc.

Any other suggestions would be welcome!

 

[ceemys]

Hurray! My family will be there at the same time! So excited for us all!

Sunshine

No idea where they will put us but if you see a window decorated for my daughters 5th birthday, then that's us! Mickey heads already cut out and banner made with pink ruffles.

Yes, you don't want to hoop the terry cloth. Use a sticky stabilizer (or just spray regular stabilizer) and float the towels. Pin the towel into place very well because you don't want it to shift and with the weight of a towel, it increases the chance of it shifting. The tutorial on emblibrary recommends using cut away stabilizer on the back even though it stays there permanently. They showed the results of the various stabilizers after the towels had been washed and the cutaway kept the design looking the best. Then you have to use a water soluble stabilizer on top or the stitches will sink into the terry cloth and get lost. I did a couple of towels this spring and they turned out great! I was very happy with the results.

 

[smile5sunshine]

Sunshine, I still can't wait to see the Jessie outfit in action.

I hate to keep you waiting, but I think I'd like to finish the rest of this set (all four kids will be Toy Story themed for the day) and then try to get a pic of all of them together. Sorry for the wait!

​

Andrea, you sneaky thing!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Thanks Judy! You are always so sweet! My dad is doing much better and we expect him to get moved out of ICU today!

Oh that's wonderful news! Will keep praying he improves!

Oh wow this skirt looks FANTASTIC!!! I LOVE the doubloons you added! Great job!

I will be in the exact same boat after our trip is over with. We just can't afford to go even semi-frequently. I know that our upcoming trip in August will be the first in a "twice in a childhood" trips that we can take with our kiddos. We won't go back for probably three years when 3DD and DS are old enough to really enjoy it.

I hope that you all will let me stick around, even if I don't sew much Disney stuff. I DO plan to participate in the Big Gives, so that should help give me my Disney sewing fix.

No idea where they will put us but if you see a window decorated for my daughters 5th birthday, then that's us! Mickey heads already cut out and banner made with pink ruffles.

ACK, sorry for the confusion, I will be there at the same TIME but not the same place. we'll be staying at Shades of Green (SIL is a DOD Civilian). Your decorations sound great! That's yet ANOTHER project I have yet to even start! Better get on it!

You need a clear, wash-away stabilizer on top. I actually do hoop my towels, but it isn't too easy. I also like a perforated tear away I found at my local sewing shop.

After knocking out my mom's painting job in just two days, I finally am communing with my machines. Nemo is stitching out right now on a shirt with Dory, Bruce (the shark) and Crush already stitched. Next up will be a goofy theme soccer-style shirt.

 

[smile5sunshine]

Stayed up WAAAAYYY too late last night working on these. They sewed up fairly quickly, but DH wanted to watch a movie, so I was a good wife and did that with him before I started sewing. I didn't even get everything out and set up until 12am!

Here's the shorts I will use for DS's Woody set. They are made out of blue Chambray so they look like Jeans but will be MUCH cooler in the August heat. I wish I had the yellow/gold Denim thread because I think that would have really made them look more jean-ish, but I didn't so made do with the navy thread.

This is made from the Fishsticks Mud Puddle Splashers pattern she has out FREE until the end of July. She is partnering with Hopeful Threads (a great organization that hosts a charity sewing project each month) and this month's project is shorts for boys in an orphanage in Cambodia.
