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

[4HppyCamprs]

Thank you all for the kind comments!

Minnie and Mickey heads with lights are from Glitzy Stitches on etsy. donald is from Bows and Clothes. All are time consuming appliques, but I loved them!

You're so sweet! Thank you! I can't take credit for the pocket design on the skirt, though. It's a commercial pattern - Simplicity 2655.

Here's last night's work:

Dh and the boys will wear these while dd wears her Snow White costume in MK one day and DHS another. The boys have the logo on the front and back.

Close-up, though the fabric isn't photographing well. It's textured and shiny like a real badge. I think dh actually likes this one! Yay!

I'm going to stitch out SW on a shirt for me now. I have another skirt planned to go with it, but I don't know if I'll have time to make it yet. My awesome MIL is taking my kids Wed. night and most of Thursday so I can have a full day to sew, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Regards,
C.

Thanks for sharing the skirt pattern and I love the shirts!! Your able to do them on a embroidery machine?? Do you have a really expensive one??

My computer has been acting up (low disk space) so I haven't had time to get a picture posted of the serger. I need to clear off some stuff on the computer before trying to add a photo on. I'll try and get that done this week.

Working hard on getting Christmas gifts done. I have 2 aprons and some PJ's for my nephew left. I might need to do one more gift for a daycare child-not sure if she will be here in Dec. or not.

I hope to see your creations soon! It sounds like you have been busy!

Great job on the shirts! The shiny fabric is really cool. I am glad that your husband likes the shirt. Maybe he'd wear it at home too!

You are so creative! All of the shirts are great but I really love these! I need to finish my wheelchair bag so I can get to work on some applique tshirts. And I am totally stealing a couple of these ideas!

 

[love to stitch]

I'm almost finished with one set of outfits. We'll wear these at DHS the day we're staying for the Osborne Lights and at MK for MVMCP, minus dd's outfit. She'll wear her Feliz dress to the party.

Close-up of dd's shirt. All the fabrics are sparkly! Mine will be the same design, but I'm debating whether or not to make it now in a 5x7 hoop like this one, or wait to do it at my mom's in a 6x10. I'm leaning towards the 6x10 since it will be the only shirt I have to do there now.

My skirt. Like with my Peter Pan skirt, it has a silk lining and side zipper

Regards,
C.

Those are great outfits and perfect for the light show.

With 4 day to go before we leave - I actually finished everything on my list! I counted it up last night when I was done. This is a 9 day trip. I made 11 dresses, 9 skirts and 19 tee-shirts. 1 dress and 1 skirt are for my neice. 3 Tees are for my nephew. 2 tees are for my neice and 2 tees (1 each) for the older neices. The rest for my 2 girls.

Here is the stash laid out last night on the bed.

And the last 2 outfits. My youngest sort of modeled my first Lauren Dress. I really like how this came out with the elastic casing in the back. She was twirlling too much so it was hard to get a good picture.

And the girls modeled their Perry Tee's and World Skirts this morning for me.

Please forgive the mess. I got the house straightend up today finally.

I can't wait for Thursday!

You've been really busy, everything looks great!

Thank you all for the kind comments!

What a cute idea! The shirts look great...sure to get lots of attention! So great to have a full day of sewing. Nice to have a wonderful MIL!

I guess what I should really ask is if a machine like the pe770 that I have seen mentioned can do embroidery like what has been shown on here. That is my real question. Expense is relative and we all know from being on here there is a wide range. Anyways I really love embroidery but don't have thousands to spend and I do not understand hoop size but I do love these designs and if some of the things I have seen have been done on the pe770 that would help me know the possibilities. Thanks!

I have the pe770. You can see some of the stuff I've done on these boards (scroll back a few pages I just posted dozens from our trip) and at my personal websites. Just-joshin.com and goteamwood.com
Hoop size limits it to 5x7 so imagine all your embroidery will be smaller than a standard greeting card. I find its an adequate size for kids stuff scale-wise but a tad small for adults unless its more of a chest-patch thing. The only shirts I did not using the pe770 were the adult Halloween ones, those were hand-appliqués. I hope that helps.

 

[4HppyCamprs]

Yes it does!! Thank you!!

My machine does embroidery but it says something to the effect of "monogram as well as you can draw...." Well.... I got detention for a week for my handwriting and I do not believe it has improved significantly from there lol.

Hi, I have been lurking and reading this thread for ages. I'm finally ready to come out of hiding. I am currently making over my work space and just ordered the brother cs6000 that gets such good reviews. Can I post a picture of my craft room when I get it ready? I would love to show it off to somebody, and we don't really have any friends or family closeby. (My husband is in the marine corp.). My first project is actually going to be curtains for our kitchen so not disney. But I would still like to post a pic anyway if that's ok. Everyone here has inspired me to get going on learning to sew and it is a goal I have had for a looong time, so thank you!! I know I will never be able to keep up with the flow of conversation bc you all move way to fast for me. But I thought i would introduce myself anyway and jump right in.

Please post away! I need the encouragement/ideas/kick in the rear to get my sewing room straightened and organized.

Not that I would do this ( ) but I doubt you need to rip out the stitches. Just turn them inside out and sew inside your previous seams and then cut off the previously sewed extra fabric on the outside. Taper your new sewing like so that it matches up the the original waistband. I am sure the idea is horrifying to real seamstresses but I pretty much have to do that with everything I sew!

I am currently trying to make a bag for DD's wheel chair. I have a grand plan which involves taking ideas from a lot of places and then just sort of winging it! I wanted it to be quilted. I was totally excited to find cooler insulation right next to the regualr batting at Hobbly Lobby! Has anyone ever used this? Will it actually keep things cool? Even if I quilted on it?

LOL - I literally did this last night. DH misplaced his knit camp so I whipped him up a fleece one - winging it of course. The first one turned out to small for him, but it fits me fine, and the second was HUGE on him, so I just re-sewed, but he told me this morning (after the first wearing while walking the dog) that it still needed help.

As for the insulated batting, I haven't quilted on any, but I do know it keeps things cool. I had a remnant I picked up that I used as an emergency lunch cooler - I just wrapped it around my sandwiches.

I just got my pe770 two weeks ago. Everything I've shown was done on it. It's a great starter machine!

I've never seen a more friendly, helpful, encouraging group of people anywhere on the DIS!! The Disboutiquers rock

Totally agree!

Awesome shirts! I love that design! I was thinking of doing one for my nephew for their trip during winter break.

Many of the people on here have the pe770. It seems to be a good starter machine. Most people feel that the 5x7 design size is adequate for almost every shirt size. Lots of people will put two or three appliques on one shirt or outfit if they really want to make something special but there really isn't the need to do that. My current machine goes up to a 12x7 hoop size but honestly I use the 5x7 the most often. One thing that almost everybody agrees on is that the 4x4 hoop is just too small. My first machine had a 4x4 hoop and I replaced it within 6 months.

Hi Everyone!!!

I know you arent all on facebook, but I wanted to ask if there was anyone who would specifically pray at 1pm eastern time for my cousin Steve Piasecki. He was diagnosed with esophogeal cancer on Friday and is having a PET scan tomorrow which will tell us how far it has spread. I was hoping that we could unite together in prayer for just a few moments that Steve and his wife Sue and their 6 kids would feel peace and acceptance of whatever is in store for our family. When we were over the other night (when they told us) he was trying to keep himself from thinking the worse - "I have 3 girls to walk down the aisle" - the first one this July!!!! Bekah is getting married then, Elizabeth is 10 and Hannah is 6. Thanks friends!!

I also wanted to invite you to be a part of Shawn-Brooklyn's Big Give!! Things are still needed and pixie dust is always a blast!! They are going on a little Disney cruise and then a few days for the parks!!!! Please come and join us!!
Look at this FACE!!!!!!

I can't take the credit the credit for this .... I bought this panel on Etsy (someone on this thread posted about it)

and a friend of mine at work made me this wall hanging

She did a great job on it! I plan on hanging it on the wall in my spare bedroom/sewing room when ever I finally get my DD to clear out all her stuff. She moved out 2 years ago and hasn't made much progress

I think most of the work posted around here are do-able using a PE770. The hoop size is the maximum area that you can embroider with just 1 hooping. Of course you can do multiple hooping for a larger size (for example, doing a Mickey head in 1 hooping and the name in a second hooping). I hope this helps.

I will try my best to do so tomorrow. I will be at work with a meeting starting then so I will use that as a reminder. I hope the cancer is caught sufficiently early for effective treatments.

You have all been very helpful and explained the hooping very well. Thank you!!

The quilt looks beautiful! I am sure it will look great in your spare bedroom!

The skirt looks great! Thank you for sharing.

Speaking of sharing, I have a few projects to share:

The first project was a T-shirt made using the Easy Cap Sleeve Tee pattern from youcanmakethis. It ended up being too big. The next time I will just use my size from off the rack T-shirts. I decided to add the embroidery just for the fun of it. It also shows what a 4x4 embroidery would look like on an adult sized top.

Some of you may recall that I talked about making something for Chinese New Year last year. I finally found a pattern that could work. I am not entirely happy with how this turned out but I suppose it will do for 1 day a year. The top is too short and my mid-section shows if I am not being careful. I had the fabric for a long time and I finally worked up the courage to cut into it.

Finally, a pair of oven mitts for my office Christmas gift exchange. The pattern is courtsey of youcanmakethis.

Thanks for looking

I am SO behind. DAYS and DAYS and DAYS...... And what's more I have no good excuse for my absence! I'm sorry I'm such a bad disboutiquer! to make matters worse, I remember the last time I posted it was about me being glad there was an extra hour in the day because I needed to make my DD a birthday outfit and hadn't started. Yeah, she STILL doesn't have her birthday outfit. I'm sure one of you will be by shortly to make me turn in my card....

there have been SO many wonderful things posted. you all are nothing short of AMAZING.

AND CARRIE. I am IN LOVE with your skirt. it is PERFECT! Thank you for sharing the pattern because now I NEED one. IT.IS.AWESOME.

pytrx (I think I got that right, going off memory so forgive me if I didn't!) I am SO jealous of your upcoming trip! you are a lucky girl indeed!

Flora: bummer that the top is too short. Would it be improper to add a ruffle or extra cuff around the bottom to add some length?

Goteamwood: I LOVED seeing all your pictures! they made me so happy to remember all the cool places and characters in the parks. I'm glad your boys had a blast and you all made many special memories. Hope you are feeling all better now!

What a great wall hanging! Your friend did an excellent job!

PS- I never cleared my stuff out of my parents house either. There was in incentive to bringing my old junk to my new place when I moved out. So my smart parents slowly started boxing things up and bringing me one small box of stuff every time they came to visit. It didn't take long before the room was cleaned out.

Wendy- I'll be praying at 1pm. There were so many people that prayed for me when I had cancer and I really believe that it helped pull me through.

I signed up for Shawn-Brooklyn's Big Give. What a cute little guy! My items are almost finished because I want to mail them before Thanksgiving!

I finished one of the Christmas skirts this afternoon and am almost finished with the second one.

That turned out great! The fabrics look so nice together. What kind of top will they wear with it?

Love the things you made. The t-shirt looks great. It is too bad that it is too big. Can you cut it down so that it fits better?

The Chinese New Year top is very pretty. Can you add a contrasting band at the bottom of the shirt to give it a little bit of length? I love the high collar and the buttons on the shoulder.

And somebody is going to get lucky with those pretty oven mitts for your office gift exchange! I always got terrible gifts when had a gift exchange.

Hi Sunshine! Glad to see you back! You do what you can and if you don't have time to stop by everyday, then we are always happy to hear from you when you do have time to come on. I'm sure your daughter will have a wonderful birthday, with or without a birthday outfit you've made for her.

I had the exact same thought about Flora's top.
