Disboutiquers Part 29 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[smile5sunshine]

Here is my little Scarlet Macaw:

There are feathers on the tutu as well but they don't show up in the photo. Also should probably color her hair red for Halloween.

WOW Andrea this costume is BEYOND AMAZING!!! you did such a fantastic job with it! Hope she got a good grade on her report!

Just a quick photo post, since I got captain hook to try on his outfit. The whole family is going as Peter Pan characters to MNSSHP on 10/30, little Mr. Smee has been under the weather with Ear infections and fevers, so he wasn't into dressing up today. I think I did OK, considering it is a $2 boys shirt, $2 girls leggings and brand-new, never worn Sperry Topsiders from a thrift store, a little lace, and a (splurge) hat from the Disney store when it was on sale. All told less than $20 for the whole ensemble. Of course I am biased but I think this kid would be cute in pretty much anything

I think he liked it, he didn't want to take it off and insisted he wanted to wear it until we go to Disney World, which is a month away!

Now back to the sewing room, still so much to do. Thankfully the family costumes are done, save for Peter Pan's hat, which I think should be pretty fast and easy.

Oh my golly that's CUTE! LOVE it! I love that you used thrifted items to make it! Can't wait to see Smee!

I finally have something sewing to post! Items have been received so here are a few things I made for a big give.

I made a Buzz bowling shirt for the 4 year old brother.

And a Tink tote bag and matching wallet for mom.

The bowling shirt is cute but I LOVE the tink bag! I love the purples you used! The fabrics coordinate so well together.

So picture time

Day #1 MVMCP

these are all so great! Thank you so much for posting the fashion show. Hope you little DD is feeling better.

Here is one of the Halloween costumes she made Lilly:

[/url]



She also made a matching bib for her and it will be what she wear on Halloween.

That is SUPER (pun intended!) CUTE!


As for me: still cleaning. BUT I've also added a bit of last minute sewing to my list. My 2nd DD's bday is tomorrow and I decided to make her a birthday outfit. I'm just going to do a simple skirt and then applique the top. Her favorite princess is Mulan, so I think I'm going to add that to the top. Shouldn't take too long (famous last words, right?) but I want her to be able to wear it to church tomorrow. I am a wee bit nervous because this will be my first "face" that I try to do and I'm worried about it looking goofy.

Yes they're twins but they're not even 3 yet and they have a fascinating way of including each other in everything. They probably have no idea what Halloween even is since its 4 days before their birthday so effectively they were exactly 1 and 2 the previous years. But when i asked, they always mentioned things that go together. They also speak in plural almost all the time. I rarely hear me, mine, my but we, our, us constantly. "We are hungry." Or we want a snack" or "we are pirates."
It's interesting because we have lots of twin play mates around the same age and they all use mine and my a lot more.
I'll try to get the other kid to model the smee outfit when he feels better. It's incredibly cute.

Here's a link to last years costumes: Mario and luigi. http://goteamwood.com/2011/10/23/boo-at-the-zoo/

twin dynamics fascinate me...the way they interact together from when they were newborns...of course now when maddie is angry at her brother she will announce that she will not be his twin any more

That's hilarious. I don't think mine understand about twins yet. It's just so normal for them since nearly all their playmates are twins they just sort of think all kids come in pairs... so far they haven't tried to un-twin themselves, but I am sure that's not too far off!

Mr. Smee is feeling better today, amazing what 24 hours of antibiotics and some advil can do for the mood... So I got them to pose, together even!





Mr. Smee's shirt I made with some super cheap knit fabric I got from fabric.com and it is really rough, but hey, he's a pirate. The shorts and sandals we had, the hat, also cheap knit sewn in a cone and attached a pompom from the craft box. The glasses are from the $1 store, they were those 3x reading magnifier glasses, I popped out the lenses as not to blind my poor child. His outfit total cost was about $7. If it is cool the eve of MNSSHP I will put a long sleeve shirt and navy pants on him, so he's not shivering while Hook is cozy.

 

[PrincessMickey]

Great job on the bowling shirt.... but I really love that Tink bag.

I love both things you made. I used the same fabric to make bowling shirts for my nephews. It is such cute fabric and the shirt looks wonderful!

And I love the Tink bag. I have that bag pattern but I haven't used it yet. You used such pretty fabrics and I love the jeweled button. I am sure it was very well received!!!!

very nice! I love that bag pattern...I have made several for myself and family but not Disney...this makes me think I need to do that

Thanks everyone!!!

Glad he's feeling better. They both look so cute, you're gonna get some awesome photo ops. Also great job on putting these together for so little money!

So my new Hobby Lobby opened today. It is a huge store but I thought there would be more fabric. But they did have some pretty fabric though. I hope they run more smoothly though. The poor girl at the table was young and new and having a hard time cutting the fabric. Plus they have to write everything done. I love how Joanne's just scans everything. But overall I am glad they are so close

Yes, it will be a great trip for them. My daughter had a friend over this afternoon and was telling her about the trip. I overheard her tell her friend that one of the best parts of the trip will be spending time with her cousins but that my niece is going to talk her ear off on the car ride there! My 5 yo niece is one of those non-stop talkers. I'm going to look for some good headphones for my girls so that they can tune her out for a bit.

Awe that is sweet and funny that she is a chatter box.

So I asked my niece if she had anything special to wear for a trip to Disney World. You all have seen all the pictures of the stuff I have made for her in the last several months. Well she responded that her grandma had bought her a Minnie Mouse t-shirt and that would be good for Disney. LOL!

You will need to tell her she needs more than a store bought Tshirt

Yeah hobby lobby operates in the stick ages. And you really have to watch when stuff is on sale because they manually calculate it. So if they didn't pass 8th grade math you can totally get charged too much. Happens at mine all the time. It by far the closest to my house and the one I least like to visit because it seems so archaic. They do have some Disney fabrics I haven't seen elsewhere though. I got cute Mickey, cars and pooh there.
They did recently release an app for the iPhone though which is essentially the 40% off coupon they ordinarily have on the web anyway. I prefer Joann.

Thanks, I think they're pretty cute too. And they are SO excited to go to disneyworld. They ask every day. And since they can't count past 12 it doesn't mean much that we are 28 days out.

I saw these on the Big Give board; they are great! I don't know that bag pattern, it looks really cute.

AAGH! SO CUTE!! You got great pictures of them too, they look like they could be in a magazine.

I love Halloween! I've made a pact with myself to try really hard to make DD's costume every year as long as it's feasible. This year she wants to be a pink cat and I have the faux fur already. I think I'll try to just find a vest pattern/make one up and add a hood with ears. No zippered jumpsuits over here (I wouldn't want to attempt it)!

 

[PurpleEars]

thanks...she has been seeing an OT since late Feb...but we are not seeing improvement so at this point think there may be something else at play...like a food intolerance just adding to things....hoping they can squeeze us in before the end of the year...

I hope you will get some answers soon. I understand that it is really frustrating not knowing what else could be at play.

As for me: still cleaning. BUT I've also added a bit of last minute sewing to my list. My 2nd DD's bday is tomorrow and I decided to make her a birthday outfit. I'm just going to do a simple skirt and then applique the top. Her favorite princess is Mulan, so I think I'm going to add that to the top. Shouldn't take too long (famous last words, right?) but I want her to be able to wear it to church tomorrow.

I am sure the outfit will look great. Please post a picture when it is done.

Thank you all for the compliments on my macaw. This costume was soooo much easier to do than the Sgt Pepper ones I did last year. And ds wants to be a cowboy so that will be easy, though he was a cowboy at age 4 and hated it so I'm trying to get him to do something else. I really want him to be a snake and it would fit with the Amazon theme, but sadly he's not buying it.

My DGD wants to be Jewel and I saw the link you posted earlier, so thought I'd give it a shot. I like yours WAAAAY better than the other one. Would you mind telling me how you did it? I think you said you didn't attach it to the sweatshirt, right? Did you fashion the shape and size of the feathers yourself? I don't have my DGD here to help gauge size etc., but I will be traveling there on Monday, so I guess I will just wait until I get there. I wanted to surprise her with it, but I need to use her for sizing. She's 5. You did an awesome job!!!

I did not attach dd's to her shirt, though I think it would have been easier to. I just didn't want to permanently use the shirt for the costume b/c $ is so tight right now. I basically followed this tutorial because I wanted the feathers on both sides of the wings:


http://www.maidendshade.com/2011/05/bird-wings-tutorial.html

Be sure to scroll down on the link b/c the pic at the top is not the one this tutorial depicts -- it's the one she got her idea from. I made hollow sleeve tubes out of red cotton though and wrapped the feathers over them and hand stitched them on. You can do the wings without the feathers wrapped over the arms, but I liked the look I did.

I winged it in drawing my own feathers -- I needed mine more elongated like a real macaw. I also overlapped my feathers off the edge of my base fabric because I liked that look too -- but in hindsight I should have made my base fabric a little smaller as my wings ended up then being a bit too big. I also had to add elastic straps to help hold them because they are heavy. You could use cotton which would be lighter in weight and it would naturally fray like bird feather edges, but I liked the more polished look so I ended up using the felt (and it was on sale!).

For the feet I used plastic canvas and covered them in felt. I sewed them on old sock cuffs b/c I did them while dd was sleeping and wanted to make sure they were OK -- I am going to attach them to her leggings though for Halloween. And the leggings are a pair of red that I cut (they were a 4T so way too short but dd is thin so still fits in them fine) and I attached black bottoms from another pair that she got holes in.

I think I am also going to add more feathers to the headband on streamers down the back of her hair -- I think that will look prettier than coloring her hair.

Love, love, love how this turned out Andrea. You are so talented. Got me thinking that may I could try a Rio costume, but that would just be crazy for a novice like me! Nice job!

A novice can pull off a cute bird -- it really wasn't overly difficult at all and you can simplify the wings a bit -- see the tut I posted above.

I finally have something sewing to post! Items have been received so here are a few things I made for a big give.

I made a Buzz bowling shirt for the 4 year old brother.

And a Tink tote bag and matching wallet for mom.

What nice give items! I think the bowling shirts are great and I love the tote and the colors in it.

They don't do grades at our school. The only things that get marked are spelling quizzes and they just get the number correct -- no letter grades.

Good luck getting the birthday outfit finished. Faces are definitely harder to hand applique but you do really well with all your appliques that I think you'll do fine. And Happy Birthday to your dd!

That's hilarious. I don't think mine understand about twins yet. It's just so normal for them since nearly all their playmates are twins they just sort of think all kids come in pairs... so far they haven't tried to un-twin themselves, but I am sure that's not too far off!

Our Joann's always writes down the fabric because their scanners NEVER work. I have still never been to a Hobby Lobby

Hello, I have been lurking but not posting. I love everything posted so far. Everytime I look at this board it inspires me.

Anyway - I am looking for a Remy embroidery design. I have looked at my regular haunts and I haven't found one. I thought I had bought one but I can't find it in my files. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. I am going on the Pixar cruise in a week and I know that Remy will be there for pictures. I have a great idea for a custom. Thanks!!!

That's funny because the girl was very nervous and kept checking her math and then asking her supervisor. I felt kind of bad for her she looked so nervous. I even mentioned the scanner thing and the lady looked at me funny and said "No we do everything old school here" I know my local quilting shop writes everything down but for some reason it doesn't bother me at that store

Too cute about you boys... we do a count down calendar starting at 100 days but my youngest has a hard time understanding how long that is too.

I love Halloween! I've made a pact with myself to try really hard to make DD's costume every year as long as it's feasible. This year she wants to be a pink cat and I have the faux fur already.

First of all, I just sort of started commenting on this thread without really introducing myself. I've been lurking for some time thanks to D. I read her pre-trip report and when she mentioned this thread, I came over and got hooked! I have been sewing since I was a child, but it has been sporadic since my kids are grown. Now I have grandchildren to sew for and I'm back to it and loving it.

What I really love about your thread is how helpful everyone is and how much encouragement and advice is given, whether it's sewing or personal. This thread exudes friendliness, thoughtfulness and just enough orneriness to be simply wonderful. Thanks for letting me hang out!

Okay, so that comment bolded had me lol!!

Thanks so much for the explanation on how you achieved such fabulous results. I've got all my materials and am so looking forward to making it. I've never posted a picture, but I'll try to do that when I get it made.

Sorry I don't have the quotes, but:

I love, love love the Captain Hook and Mr. Smee costumes! Great job and smart savings. You gave me the idea to get the hoodie I need at the Good Will.

The Buzz bowling shirt and the bag was fabulous! I love the lining choice on the bag. I know they will be much appreciated.

My local quilt shop writes it down too. But the ladies who work there are all long-time quilters who retired from other careers and work there for fun (and let's be honest, free fabrics to make "sample" projects) so I feel like they have an idea what they're selling. At hobby lobby who knows. I don't even feel like I could ask a question about what such-n-such I need.

I printed a countdown chain for the boys. Maybe I'll actually assemble it before we go. It's on my epic to-do list. And somehow I totally spaced on the fact we are taking another mini vacation before Disney, going away all weekend to in-laws place in Wisconsin. Tempted to just send my husband with the kids and have myself a real vacation at home in the quiet!

I never understood why Hobby Lobby does everything by hand. I am constantly checking their math and it is never right and frequently in my favor. I don't even know how they manage inventory control that way. There is no way in stores that large they know how much to order and when.


I finished up the littlest one's Minnie Dress last night. She will wear it for CM and maybe another day at the park. It is also the littlest ones halloween costume (I am making one for the 6 year old too but I haven't finished it yet and she won't be wearing it for Halloween). I am in love with this dress. I think it is my favorite of everything I've made so far. I can see me using this pattern a lot in the future.

I have been wanting to make a bag out of my dh's stained uniform shirt for a while. Last night I finally did it!

I ran out of navy thread so I haven't been able to top stitch it yet. Hopefully I will get that done this week.

I finished up the littlest one's Minnie Dress last night. She will wear it for CM and maybe another day at the park. It is also the littlest ones halloween costume (I am making one for the 6 year old too but I haven't finished it yet and she won't be wearing it for Halloween). I am in love with this dress. I think it is my favorite of everything I've made so far. I can see me using this pattern a lot in the future.
