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

[miprender]

For Monster Inc fabric you can usually find some on Etsy.

.
Those are adorable! Great that you have another day done! I just finished t-shirts for a customer who booked the mermaid package. I'll post a picture.

Thanks! I figure if I finish a set a week I should finish on time. Of course I will probably add more things too.

.
Here are a couple of things that I have been working on. First up is a dress and capris. I just designed the new appliques. This is for the new movie Brave that is coming out in June. My little niece has seen the trailer and is very excited about it so I said I would make her something. I hadn't planned to work on it this week but I wanted to check out the appliques to make sure that they sewed out properly.

Then here are the shirts that I just did for a customer who has booked the mermaid experience:

Love the Brave design and those mermaids are so cute.

Funny about Brave, my DD has no interest in seeing it but I think it looks like a terrific movie.

I love love love these! I can't wait to go to WDW some day and do some pirate outfits.

Thanks!

Those pirate outfits are adorable. I just read abut the Pirate League and was considering it?!?!?

We did it last summer and it really was a great experience. I glad they wanted to do it again.

Anyways, just wanted to say that I love the pirate outfits and the Brave outfit. I cannot wait to see Brave! The whole fam cheered when we saw the preview, even DH is excited (very reluctant disney convert)

Thanks!

I like the set. I can't wait to see pictures of those outfits in action!

Me too I need a vacation NOW!

I wanted to let you all know that one of my favorite pattern companies has a free pattern out for Tutorial Tuesday right now. It's a simple skirt made with ruffle fabric but I thought it was cute and thought maybe some of you would be interested. Go here to see it. Also if you look for other Tutorial Tuesday patterns, you see some other cute items. I'm loving the patchwork skirt one.

Thanks for the link. I'll have to try it out.

FOR ANDREA.... it's the I♥Will fabric that I've had since last year

Awesome! I really love the Minnie one. I can't see the fabric well on your dd's skirt (that's a hint to post a bigger picture of the skirt!). I saw Nini use the photobucket collage -- if it's easy to figure out I'll have to try it. If it's too time consuming perhaps not.

Michelle, do you happen to know off hand if Just Fabrics has any Harry Potter fabric?

Thanks Adrea... And sadly NO she doesn't have any HP fabric as I have already asked.

So here is what I made for the newest Big Give:

Those outfits are adorable!

Help:

Has anyone seen Tinkerbelle wing applique? I found this, even tho' they are fae, they just aren't tinkerbelle looking. I'd love to do it on the back of a shirt.

http://www.urbanthreads.com/product_details?product_id=1868&category_id=6

Sorry I've not seen any appliques with just the wings.

Everything looks great. I like how you did the boys shorts with the pockets. I bet they will have a blast at the PL

Thanks... its funny because we all seem to be adding pockets to the easy fit pants/shorts.

O

And, just for the heck of it, I make cakes.

Love everything you posted but that cake is just amazing

I did paint the Mickey & Minnie designs on the shirt. Thank you, it was one of my wild moods. lol The bags were embroidered and the banner & sign were applique and painting and free motion quilting.

I haven't been on in a long time due to life in general, but I just found out that my son's school chorus group will be performing at Disney World in November. I can't remember the name of the place to go to purchase the precious Christmas Disney appliques. I remember she and her sister were on this board, but I can't remember her name. Her sister's name is Teresa. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Michelle -

(apparently I'm just calling you out all over the DISboards tonight )

We can go see Brave together this summer I can't wait to see it!!! I don't know that the boys want to see it, but I know I do!

 

[PurpleEars]

You are very close - I am actually from Vancouver.

Cool, it is always nice to know another western Canadian!

Thanks for sharing the link!

So here is what I made for the newest Big Give:

Very cute! Thank you for making something special for this family!

Long time lurker, occassional poster (usually near an upcoming trip) here with a question:

I was at work and saw someone with the cutest Marie print scrub top and thought it would make a cute skirt for dd - she LOVES Marie (and is 10).

I bought a 2xl top and have enough fabric to get 1/2 of a flouncy skirt from CarlaC. So my question is: would you do 2 panels of Marie and 2 panels of a coordinating fabric or 4 panels of Marie and 4 panels of coordinating (4 of one color or 2 of 2 different colors).

I tried to find a link to the top so you can see it, but can't seem to find it. The fabric background is black with purple ribbons.

Thanks,
Emily

The decision may be driven by the size of the skirt vs. the size of the print.

Oh it was the door sign, our last name is Simpson. This one should be the banner I made for a double dip, that, alas, we had to change so I sent it to someone in our FE group

Im going to try and do two pics in one msg.

This should be one the purses I've made.

And, just for the heck of it, I make cakes.

Great job on everything! The cake looks delicious!

I'm just about to buy a Brother PE770 embroidery machine and wanted to make some cute things for my girls for our upcoming trip. I need more places to find digital designs to buy. I know of the Frou Frou site and have several from there that I want, but I'm looking for others, specifically for princesses. Someone on another site posted a picture of a dress that she bought on etsy for her DD that had an oval with a design of Rapunzel and another of Ariel kind of like a cameo that was about 3x5 or so in size. I really liked that design and wanted to see if I could find something like that, but didn't have much luck. I also wanted to find more examples of Monsters Inc. and Toy Story as well as the Nemo crew.

Thanks for any help you can give. Since I'm new at the whole digital file thing, I would never be able to digitize an image myself, so that option is out for now.

Also, does anyone know where to buy Monsters Inc fabric? I've tried google searches, but didn't come up with much. There seems to be a Monsters Inc door fabric that is discontinued that goes for a fortune on ebay for just a fat quarter, but I would want something cheaper and more available since I would want to make a dress or skirt x3.

I don't have suggestions for Monster's Inc. For the applique, I would suggest searching on etsy. I remember MissKenzieMac has princess applique in vines and I know another poster has princess applique in ovals, I just can't remember her name right now.

This is a combination beach/sewing bag

I didnt make this shirt but I did go crazy embellishing it. You can sort of see thru to the back. It is a large Mickey head that I set rhinestones one at a time

And last but not least, the first purse I made. Again the rhinestones were set one at a tiime. I even put a hidden Mickey in the lower corner of the front pocket

Ok, that's all I have for now. I have been working on baby stuff. Christening dress, quilts, hair bows. Nothing more Disney yet. Yet is the operative word

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I always like to see Disney stuff for adults!

FOR ANDREA.... it's the I♥Will fabric that I've had since last year

That's the perfect fabric for the skirt!

Try Frou Frou by Heather Sue

 

[aripantaloon]

I am sure you will love having an embroidery machine. Try looking on etsy at some of the designs. I think the oval designs might be from KiralynB. Although her designs are probably larger than 3x5. I think her oval designs are 5x7 and 6x10. I haven't seen any Monsters Inc. fabric. I would imagine that if the Monsters Inc. fabric is expensive on Ebay, it will also be pricey on etsy.

Thanks! I did see some of KrialynB's designs on etsy! They weren't exactly the ones that I saw on the dresses, but they were in the back of my mind, for sure. Maybe I'm not doing the right search for the Disney designs on etsy, but I didn't find as many as I thought I would find. I searched "Disney machine embroidery" and got 476 items with many of them really not Disney in the first place. What should I use for a search term? I noticed that many of them, probably for copyright reasons, use names like "Asian princess" for Mulan. How does one find what you need if you don't even know what to search for?

Another question: I found several Disney fonts with a wide range of prices. Are they all pretty much the same if they come with the same things? Like if they all come with upper and lower case, numbers, and punctuation and come in the same sizes are they basically the same thing? I don't want to pay more than I need to, but at the same time, I don't want to cheapen out and find out that it's not quite the same font style.

 

[bear_mom]

That sounds like cute fabric! I think it would depend on how large the Marie print is to determine how small I cut the panels. If it is a larger print then use 2 panels. A smaller print would look ok on 4 panels and it would spread the design around more.

help finding an embroidery design

I'm getting ready to do a dress for our vow renewal/anniversary party this summer and I'm having a hard time finding an embroidery design for it. I'm kinda doing a pinwheel theme and I'd love to embroider some pinwheels on my dress, but everything I'm finding is too big and/or too juvenile. I'd really love a corner type design that could handle being set on point with a much more subtle pinwheel (either a tiny one among some flowers or stylized). Have you girls seen anything? Google has failed me.

Ahhhh! I love pinwheels! www.hangtodryapplique.com has some pinwheel designs that are nice. Her designs are usually very "vintage" and/or sophisticated looking so she might have something appropriate for what you're looking for. She usually also has a coupon code floating around so make sure to sign up for her newsletter b/c she doesn't run sales very often. Here's the design I was thinking of...http://www.hangtodryapplique.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=HTD-Pinwheel-Trio

Trying to catch back up. I love everything posted, per usual. Love! all the bags. I have a serious bag obsession.

Saw someone posting about Waltograph font and embroidering it.... I use SEU the free version, I just downloaded the Waltograph font and installed it into my fonts on my computer and it automatically shows up as a font in SEU. I'm sure it doesn't stitch out as nice as the fonts you buy but I think it works pretty well. It's what I used for Jayden's Big Give, I just bought the toiletry bags at the dollar tree. If I can figure out SEU, anyone can. I'd be glad to help if y'all need it.

 

[VBAndrea]

Ok this is a test I copies three pics of stuff I've done but it looks like only one posted so I'm not sure which it is. So it's either a purse I made, a banner, or my room sign

Cte!

Oh it was the door sign, our last name is Simpson. This one should be the banner I made for a double dip, that, alas, we had to change so I sent it to someone in our FE group

And, just for the heck of it, I make cakes.

Great work and I love your cake! I don't have great success with fondant but I have only tried store bought -- I need to make my own sometime.

I have seen Monsters fabric on both etsy and e-bay -- once I saw it for very reasonable on e-bay too!

This is Kira's website -- I know you said it wasn't her designs but I don't recall anyone using ovals that weren't hers:

Thank you Now I think I remember the fabric. Sorry, I just couldn't see it well (not that my eyes are old or anything ).

Thanks for the SEU tip -- Amy wants to do some names with my machine and I told her we were limited to what my machine came with. Though I wasn't the one who originally inquired, I'm glad you posted b/c this may be beneficial to me as well

Michelle -

(apparently I'm just calling you out all over the DISboards tonight )

We can go see Brave together this summer I can't wait to see it!!! I don't know that the boys want to see it, but I know I do!

Sounds like a fun girls night out!

Most people don't advertise their designs using the Disney name. You might try like pink princess or blue monster. Frequently, we just look at the sites of the designers we know and like to see what they have. Sometimes when you try a new designer, their stuff doesn't turn out as well you might hope for. That happened to Andrea recently. She bought a cute design from somebody she'd never used before and then wasn't crazy about the results. My advice, if you are trying a new designer is to stitch out the design on something you don't mind re-doing.

I would guess that most of the Disney fonts are the same. You might need a program to put your wording together. I don't think you can combine the letters on your machine.

I found a link to the top:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Maries-Pink-Bow-and-Kitten-Print-Mock-Wrap-Scrub-Top/19498246

That print looks pretty large. I would cut fewer panels so that you don't lose too much of Marie. The print is really cute!

My 3 year-old grandson is going to Disney for the first time next month so I made him a few things, they are also going to the beach.

Glad to help! Andrea, have you signed up for all the Yahoo Groups yet? There are TONS of them and they usually have a free monthly design. I know you're trying to be frugal so it's a great way to get free designs. Here's a list of the ones I'm apart of: AA_DigiStitches, AA_PlanetApplique, embroidery boutique, fivestartfonts, hangtodry, justpeachyapplique, and sewdelightful. And several of them (fivestar, and 8claws) do freebies on facebook. Usually it's full alphabets... once they reach a certain number of likes they post A-L, then M-Z, so forth. And don't forget www.freeembroiderydesignfiles.com... She posts a free design every day.

Everything looks so cute. LOVE! The stingray on the shorts..Is that a HeatherSue design? We're going to the Georgia Aquarium this weekend and that would be super cute on a shirt for my lil man.

When I am searching in ETSY I make sure I select Handmade to the left of the search box then I type in Disney PES and that usually gives me pretty good results. I have also searched more specifically like Beast PES I hope that helps.

Hi ladies! I'm a frequent lurker, infrequent poster, but I just LOVE all your creations. I'm planning my sewing for our next Disney trip and I have 21 customs planned. Yikes!

I am debating getting an embroidery machine. It's just a lot of money and although I really want one, I'm a stay at home mom and it's hard for me to spend money on myself.

Can those of you that do shirts and such for customers give me your contact information? I'd love a quote for the items I'm thinking about for our trip. I that allowed? I need three tee shirts appliqued.

 

[Disneymom1218]

Quick drive by... Haven't sewed in a couple days, not that I havne't wanted to. Just felt like I needed to do some yard work and cleaning. It looks like someone dumped a bottle of yellow baby powder in my living room and dining/play room.

Anyway.. Got two new materials to play with. The scooby doo I plan to make the little ones either easy fits or bowling shirts. I just need to figure out what color(s) to use to make it pop. The Minnie I am going to make my mom a toiletry bag with and use my red/white polka dot material with. Maybe with her name or initial on it. Depends on if my friend thinks we can...

Any thoughts or suggestions? THey are always welcome. Everything I have seen looks awesome!! Love the talent. Allison and I will be going to get some fabric to make her a sundress!!

Off to do my favorite!

For the Scooby fabric, I would go with the lime green in the fabric to make it pop. If you feel that is too bright then Maybe the Robin's egg blue that is in the fabric. Can't wait to see the finished products.

We can't sell on the board, but if you look at the signatures, you can see Etsy and Ebay Id's. Or someone will likely send you a private em.
