Disboutiquers Part 30 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[Bektasmic]

Just wanted to share a safari vest I made for a colleague's 4 yr old son who will be making his first trip to Animal Kingdom in January.

Awwww! Adorable!

This is the first outfit I've made for our upcoming trip. I made a simple elastic waist skirt with appliqued scallop shells along the bottom. There are 12 shells on each skirt. The fabric is reminiscent of Ariel's tale, and the shells mimic her top. I also made reversible headbands (solid purple on reverse) with a detachable shell hair clip. I may embellish the clips more, but I'm going to work on the other outfits first. I may also do another clip with flowers and pearls to match the purple side.

My girls are 9, and they generally do not wear any themed clothing, but I got the shirts for the trip and the skirts will be regular summer wear with a basic non-Disney shirt.

Hello. I happened to just run across this thread yesterday while I was browsing and can't believe that I did not find it earlier. I am loving all the items you have shared and even though have just begun to read through it, am excited to see all the creative minds at work!.

I have taught myself how to sew (if that's what you want to call my lack of knowledge LOL). I started on an old sewing machine my mom had back when I was a kid. She got it from her mom, but couldn't sew a lick, so it just sat there collecting dust. As a kid, I was a huge Barbie fan and mom and dad didn't have much $, so I was always dreaming about the barbie clothes I would see in stores just wishing I could get them for my precious barbies... then one day, I got this brilliant idea to try my hand at sewing my own barbie clothes (I think I was 10...) so I drug the dust covered machine out of it's table and it still had the manual with it, so I was in luck. I started reading how to work the machine and with my mom patiently explaining to me to keep my fingers away from the needle, (her only tid bit of instruction ), I started planning away with my barbie clothes "design studio" in my little corner of the hallway.

I wouldn't say I am that great, but I can manager. I primarily just do alterations as I hate the idea of paying for them.

I did embark on quite the project last month. My daughter wanted a back pack purse and wanted it Olaf themed. We looked and looked and couldn't find anything for her. We happened to find a material at Walmart that was just as cute as could be and she begged me to make her a purse with it. I gave in and told her I would try, but was making no promises. I bought a pattern that was somewhat what she wanted, but knew that to get exactly what she wanted, I would have to add some touches to it. It is in no way perfect, but for my first complete from scratch project, I was pretty happy with the results and will share pics below.

^^^^^ Great job on the bag! Love the Olaf fabric.

Here are my girls' Animal Kingdom outfits. I made the skirt previously to wear to the Lion King musical and appliqued the shirts yesterday. I'm hoping it's not too hot for long-sleeves, but in any event, they can be rolled or pushed up.

There was great discussion of whether the Minnie bow should be on the side or centered. Centered hid the hat too much, IMO, so we went with on the side.



Matching headbands (reversible) and detachable bow clips

Love how you made the skirts re-usable. I'm working on an Ariel outfit now and trying to keep it subdued like yours. Love the headbands too!

You did a great job! I am sure your DD will love it! I haven't seen Olaf fabric at Walmart. Hmmm...

Adorable! I like the bow on the side! Did you use a pattern for your applique or did you draw it yourself?

I love this!

I looked up templates online and then altered them a little. I cut out the templates and appliqued the different pieces using Heat & Bond, then sewed around them.

Olaf-themed outfits- I made the skirts to coordinate the store-bought shirt (so we can reuse it with non-themed clothing) and made reversible headbands with a felt olaf attached to a bow.





All the headbands and bow/clips so far:

Can't forget about the boy/men folk, though they were a lot less interested in Disney-wear than my girls

Simple, basic tees with Mickey head and bow tie appliques. Each chose his own color for the bow tie.



Gotta love the tee-shirt sales at JoAnn Fabric- each only cost about $2.75 to make (all the dotted fabric was on hand, the solid black was bought for the project).

Love the outfits and projects posted in here! I wish I had your guys' skill. I used to know to sew and hoping I'm not too rusty.

I bought a brother pe770 and am hoping it isn't too much of a learning curve - hoping post holidays between birthday parties to get a few shirts made for my boys. I've already found a few tips and such (such as were to find files) helpful so thank you

Hi! I hope it is ok for me to join y'all here.

I heard a rumor that Santa put a Silhouette Cameo under the tree with my name on it!

I have been stalking Etsy, trying to figure out how to make some of the adorable vinyl iron on and appliqued designs for tshirts.

I am super excited to learn!

I plan on dusting off the old sewing that is somewhere buried in a closet. I'm hopeful that sewing is like riding a bike and that it will come back to me. I used to make quite a few of my older kiddos clothes and even a few bridesmaid and prom dresses......about 15 years ago!

Is it Christmas morning yet????

 

[love to stitch]

I haven't been on here in a few weeks and there are so many cute pretty things. I really need to remember to check in here more often.

I finished my first project on the Cameo!

I have been making good use of the Cameo that was under the Christmas Tree.

I just started on these, they are for the Princess and Pirate Party at GKTW. We will all be "pirates" and Faith wants to be a princess. A pirate princess! LOL Still trying to figure out how to do that one.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!

 

[MandiC]

How cute! I want one but probably has to wait for next Christmas I got my two biggest wants on my list; a KitchenAid and a new sewing machine...and a sewing table is on it's way! I'm super excited to have an auto buttonhole and lots of pretty decorative stitches

Very cute shirts. My grandson saw the pirate Mickey and informed me that he needs one to wear when he is fighting with his sword, so I guess I'll be adding it to my to do list.

Now that my Christmas sewing is done I really need to get moving on our trip sewing. I have never been this far behind! On my list I have a Doc McStuffins's skirt, 2 Mike W. shirts, 1 Musket Mickey shirt or dress, 1 Chip and Dale shirt, 2 figment outfits and more. Time for me to get off the computer and get sewing! I will try to get back with pictures next month!

These are really cute! A Cameo is a cutting machine, right? So these are iron on vinyl? I just bought some of that and was thinking of trying it out for the first time. Great job!

Congrats on the new machine! I got one for Christmas too and am excited about the same functions. I have made some really ugly buttonholes and can't wait to have the machine do it for me!

Wow! That is quite a list! I can't wait to see your Figment outfits! DD and I both love Figment!
