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

[cogero]

Mickey sports themed hoodie shirts for my nephews:

Next I made a monster themed dress for my niece. It made with some of the baby wale corduroy that I got on Memorial Day weekend on that huge sale.

Next up is a Hippie themed Insa skirt and peasant top:

Then a shopping themed dress:

A Wild About Disney Dress:

A little knit dress with my niece's name on it:

A hoodie dress for my niece. I made this dress by lengthening the Imke shirt pattern in the Sewing Clothes Kids Love book:

I love it all. I think I am going to have to work up the nerve to try some of the patterns in Sewing Kids Love

We took our most recent trip to Disneyland earlier this month. I made my Princess a Minnie dress and a Jessie dress.

She loves meeting the characters ...

I made this dress last summer and gave it to my sister so my niece could have it for their trip they took in October. It is Ariel themed but I was never thrilled with it. I felt it needed something more to make it "pop"

So much cuteness

These are great - I love the Jessie dress the most!!! and I think the blue and green dress is precious!!!



Welcome!!


Here's my latest labor of love lol (yet another grainy iPad photo). We had a small FE group so I decided to make each of the ladies an embroidered tote bag, we only had about 8 families. I had 3-4 made and we got up to NINETEEN!!! I have been making these bags in my sleep. DD and I organized all our gifts this morning and she laid these out first (top left is a small size Rosetta I made her to match mine). I was actually 3 short. I just finished one and will crank out the last two tomorrow, one is cut... but I am watching gymnastics!

[/COLOR][/QUOTE]

My Cousin is going on that cruise and I think she is doing the FE group too. Her shirts are one of my projects for this week

So cute - love all of it!!

Tink Minnie head, Stitch as Yoda, and the Minnie words are all mine.
Mickey words are for DH, Darth Goofy for DS#2, Jedi Mickey for DS#1.

Benjamin's pool bag:

I used ribbon for the handle and straps like I did for his sister's. The top shape is formed by snaps.

Matthew & Jamie's pool bags:

Theirs are drawstring backpacks. There is a casing at the top with the ends open and pair of grommets at the bottom corners. I just need to swing by Lowes Home Improvement during lunch and pick up some lightweight roped for the drawstrings.

I also will be making each child a drawstring bag for their personal items. I have them cut and ready to applique/embroider on. They make up super fast.

I also cute a Tinkerbell skort for me, two pairs of bike shorts for under skirts for both me and DD (makes anything a skort), a Cinderella themed outfit for her, and a tunic top for me that I will add Sweet Pea's "Sassy" princess designs to. I plan to stitch those on white felt so I can remove them from the top and use them in some other way later.

I have my tie-dye shirts ready to dye, just didn't get to that today since it was DH's b-day...

FIVE more days!!! I have a feeling I may be a tad distracted during my curriculum stuff.

okay Love it all. I hope you get everything done. you are going to have a fabulous trip.

The girls will be 15, 12 and 9 when we go! We can find loads of Disney things for our youngest, but the older two are proving a little bit more difficult! But yes! I suppose they are very lucky girls, but truthfully, as cheesy as this sounds I feel like the lucky one for having such brilliant nieces!

I've wanted to go to Florida since I was a little girl, but there was no way we could afford it. But, through working 50+ hours a week ontop of my uni degree, we can just about afford it next year. And, I just felt bad us going and not taking them, as I remember how much it would have meant to me when I was little!



It's a relief to know that others are self taught too! Especially when they're super talented!



Aaahhh! I'm jealous. I've been looking at all of the beautiful embroidery and thinking "Oh, I wish I could do that". But, it's probably best to get the sewing down first! We have over a year until we go, I can always hope I'll be amazing and pick it up so quickly, and then I'll be able to start doing a bit of embroidery before we go! Wishful thinking perhaps!



Hahaha. Well, I certainly seem to be in good company. I have saved a couple of pictures for reference, such as a beautiful Beach Club themed dress (apologies, I forget who posted it) which is simply gorgeous! I'm hoping to be able to do something similar for my girls.



Thank you so much! I'll check it out now.... I've been googling sewing machines for about two days now, my partner thinks I'm crazy, especially as I've now prioritised this over getting a car

Thank you all so much for your kind comments! I better head off and start looking up fabric and patterns before deciding on my sewing machine!

Hi Hollie,
just wanted to leave a message from someone else in the UK. I don't post a lot , but i'm always lurking on this thread and have been for about 3 or 4 years now. These ladies are a total inspiration and they got me totally hooked on sewing customs for my DD. We leave in a week so I have been ultra busy trying to get all of my customs finished, will try to get posted what I've done so far later.

Anyhow, if you need any advice about fabrics and retailers in the UK, I'd be happy to help.

Have fun now you have discovered the group, you will be hooked in no time!!!!!

Here is the latest outfit for DGD to wear at HS when we go in Sept.

I couldn't shake it off her so that I could take it home to put in the Disney box Mommy had to hide it while the little gal took her bath that night.

Who is your cousin if I may ask... I am being nosy! I am the keeper of the FE list )

Sandi - love everything you have continued to crank out! Whose designs were the Star Wars ones? We are in the early planning for Mem Day weekend next year and hope it'll coincide with SW weekend (it usually does).

 

[pequele]

You sound like me. I have already made buzz, cars, pirates, Mickey and tigger. Working on another Mickey. Then moving on to the grown ups. It's crazy addictive. And since the shirts are for our Disney trip in 3 months I haven't let my kids wear them except a short 5 minute photo op because I don't want them ruined. So they are all in a pile on my dresser! I think it lends to the crazy town vibe.

Grown ups??? Aw man I haven't even thought about grown ups yet! Ollie does wear his shirts though. I made a pirate one last night (not Disney )but my mom got him up this morning and he HAD to call me at work to tell me he's wearing his new shirt! Cute kid!

Dianemom2. Where did you get the fabric for the sport hoodies?? Love it!

Love everything you've made. Where did you get the designs with the Mickey and Minnie made out of words? Those are so cute! It sounds like you have a busy week coming up. Make sure when you dye your shirts, you put way more dye on them than you think you need. Pull the folds apart some and squeeze some dye in there too. I've done shirts a bunch of times and they always seem to need way more dye than you expect!

I love it all. I think I am going to have to work up the nerve to try some of the patterns in Sewing Kids Love

You'll love the patterns when you finally try them. I put it off for a long time because I despise tracing patterns but these are so cute. Plus, Sandi got me hooked on the Ottobre magazine and I have to trace those patterns too.

Getting some sewing done for your 9 year old niece will be easy. There are lots of fun Disney prints and cute styles to make for her. The older girls will be harder. I do agree with the suggestion that you purchase one of CarlaC's patterns to start out with. They are easy and have great directions with tons of pictures. They are a little expensive but you print them out and can use them over and over and over again.

Once you get the sewing down pat, the embroidery is the next step.

I have been lurking on my phone but not posting. As a result, once again WTMTQ and loving it all!!!!

Welcome, Hollie! Where in the UK are you? DH and I were stationed in Cornwall for a year and I'm getting terribly "homesick" to go back for a visit to England watching the Olympics. There is a huge fabric store in Truro; sadly, I can't remember the name, nor do I recall if they had an online presence.

In sewing updates, I'm finishing up the last coat for my brother's movie. (4 vests, a dress, corset and skirt to do after that). I'm also brainstorming a Princess and the Frog set I'm going to auction off to raise money for Team Gleason (for ALS patients).

Hope all are well!!!

My cousin is Marjorie not sure what her DisName is though.

QUESTION
Has anyone seen a cruise chip and dale besides the one a divas doodles?

I though I had seen one with them in a life preserver.

 

[pequele]

What's diva doodles? I need to find these sites hahaha.

I am so hating being in this curriculum thing...would much rather be sewing, but since they had a hard time getting people to come they at least upped the amount of money we are getting. Still, it's quite the buzzkill...

 

[smile5sunshine]

I'm sorry I am being so selfish and rude for not commenting on all your lovely projects. I am REALLY feeling the heat as we are leaving on Thur and there is still SO much to do (pack, get the house ready for house/pet sitter, finish sewing)

But I did want to share the last few outfits I've made.

Mike W. shirt for DS. I had planned on making shorts to go with this too with some really cute appliques, but I doubt that I'll be able to get to them. Oh well.

Tinkerbell Skirt Set for one of my DDs. Embellished shirt with embroidery and button accents.

Bullseye dress for my littlest DD. Made from the Grace Ruffle Dress Pattern

And here is the work in progress. hope you've all got your imaginations ready to picture these done.

The Mock Insa skirt Finding Nemo Set (I don't have the pattern, so I self drafted this one to mimic that look). The Skirt still needs the satin stitching around the appliques. The top is also self drafted. It will have a shirred back, halter ties, and an orange ruffle all along the bottom.

I used/made piping (1st time!) to accent the different panels on the skirt since I was using all the same fabric.

Back to sewing!

Does linniepinnie have Disney appliqué/embroidery? Who has Disney (and sesame) for that matter what do people mean by backdoor access? Email these sites and say psssst let me see your Disney stash? hehehe.

Cute! I know what you mean about feeling the pressure - I'm there too! We leave first thing Saturday morning, but my machines are all going on vacation Friday afternoon.

Pretty much...Sweet Pea and Bows and Clothes are the two you need to do that for...mention you found out here.

Wow, everything looks terrific! I love the Jessie dress and the Nemo set the best though. Good job on the mock insa skirt. It looks just like the regular insa that I made.

 

[dianemom2]

Dianemom2. Where did you get the fabric for the sport hoodies?? Love it!

Sorry I missed this before. I ordered the fabric off of Etsy. I've never seen it on there again but maybe you can find it.

 

[GrammytoMany]

Mary (RMA MOM) I don't know if I'll have time to make another one or not. Sarah (my daughter) has made some dresses, too...so some of mine are backup dresses in case someone needs a change of clothes. I've been making some ribbon/bows/barrettes to match some of the dresses.

Diane...WOW, you sure have been busy -- cute outfits.

thanks, I emailed both!

no worries! I get lost on here sometime because of reading during the day via email and the iphone app, then coming on here at night! I'd figure I just missed ya if I didn't get an answer haha

So I am "ready" to start making some appliques (I think!). I bought the spray adhesive. Can someone tell me how to use it? I mean yeah I can read the can, sillies, but is there a trick I also finished up getting supplies (I THINK!) to start work on my bowling shirts! That's the hard part right...please tell me it is

 

[Sandi S]

I just finished my own princess custom! I thought I'd share some pictures while my next embroidery design is stitching out on something for Gracie.

I combined these 3 sassy princesses from Sweet Pea on white wool felt...and put it together with McCall's 6123.
