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

[cogero]

Hi everyone!!! Gosh it's been eons since I've checked in here!!! So happy to see so many new faces and so many old faces!!!

I love seeing everyone's projects!

I have 3 trips coming up within the next year +, so I will have lots of Disney sewing in my future, I am super excited about that! But because of the age of my girls/me... It will all be adult Disney customs. I am still looking forward to it though.

And, as usual - I have a combined PTR going for all of these trips... So, if you 'd like to follow along, you are all more than welcome to jump in.

I'll have to check in more often here too though - for a while there, it seemed like this thread had disappeared, I am happy to see that it's been revived.

D~

We love seeing your outfits.

You know that I am a big fan of customs for adults so I can't wait to see what you make!

I love your grownup outfits

I think your DD did a great job designing! It looks cute as a two-piece outfit.



I made a number of Minnie-inspired dresses for myself over the years. I just use black woven fabric as the main parts of the dresses and using red polka dot woven as the accents. I have worn them for my August trips. This is an example:

Great idea for the water bottle holder!

This is still a favorite of mine.

Invested in a Baby Lock Esante yesterday. So for all my embroidery Momma's out there, where are some of the best sites for Disney appliqués. I know about Frou Frou by HeatherSue. What are some others?

All time favorite is Frou Frou by HeatherSue (just google it)


There were 3 pages of new posts. I have to say there was a huge amount of cuteness here. Guess I am going to have to check in more often.

Hi Colleen27, I remember you!

Here is a photo of an Elsa dress I made for a birthday gift for a little girl that goes to my daycare. I made the cape separate (I dislike any kind of lacy or sheer material for kids, always seems to get wrecked). It's attached to the straps at the back with Velcro. I made the dress simple as she loves dressing up and without the cape, it can be Cinderella.

I love the removable cape, that is a great idea! Right now my 13yo is saying no dresses except Alice but she likes the Simply Sweet as a top and thought a sparkly Elsa-inspired top with cape would be cool.

I've managed so far to sew an Elsa, a belle, and am almost done with a Cinderella-inspired dress.

Those are gorgeous!

I remember you Colleen! I made a magic band cover for our last trip (Dec 2013). I just made a simple fabric tube with a hole for the "Mickey" part of the band. I used satin stitch around the hole so it won't fray. Here's a picture of me wearing one on my right wrist:

I did a tube style for our last trip but I'm thinking about something a little different this time. I'm not sure it'll work and I wish I knew where our bands from the last trip have gotten to so I could test it out before the new ones arrive, but I'm basically thinking a cuff-style "bracelet", for lack of a better word, with ribbons or straps that the band slips into. That way the covers would be be easy on/off for when we want to swim, but when we're in the parks in the heat we'll have fabric instead of the band material against our skin.

I am going to share this Anna (age 7, from the second part of the snowman song, a very specific costume request lol) costume I made for Halloween. This was my first time making sleeves and a collar, and it cost way more than I thought between shoes, wig and trim. But it was worth it! She won't want to be a princess forever if it still fits her in November she Might wear it to meet anna and else....but the wig was too small and now probably annoying in the park. I want to make her a few outfits this year but we will see how I manage. Also the colors were less saturated than these pics show....and the pattern I used was the official frozen anna costume but modified quite a bit.

That is the cutest Anna ever! You did a great job on the dress. I hope the dress will still fits for your November trip. I am sure Anna and Elsa will LOVE the dress!

You guys were great with giving me places to go for Disney applique designs, now how about non-Disney designs?? Looking for some dance, football, cheer, etc. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm new here I sew a lot, but mostly non disney stuff, sibce it will take about 4 years before we visit Rlqndo for the first time, and our last Paris visit was inJánuary and then my old machine was broken.
I'm from Belgium, and around here you don't find a lot of disneyfabrics!

 

[ammag]

If you're able to pay shipping, and high prices there is a webiste called spoonflower where you can create and buy custom fabrics. I don't think they ever go much less than $20 per yard

I like Designs by Ju Ju and Embroidery Boutique. I have heard good things about Planet Applique.

Welcome! Please share pictures of your creations! They don't need to be Disney related!

In terms of Disney fabric, you can see if shipping from online fabric stores like fabric.com or Joann is acceptable. Of course there are other online marketplaces. I live in Canada and we don't have the same selection here. Shipping is expensive so I tend to stock up when I go to the US. Another option you can look into is to do embroidery/applique. The lack of Disney fabric options was what got me started on the embroidery stuff.

I like the fabric you chose for your projects! You look fab and the dress fits you very well! Did you use a pattern for the dress?

 

[CharJ]

Thanks
I did use a pattern, The june dress from la maison victor(a dutch design magasine)

I actually subscribed to Burda Style for a year but I found most of their patterns are not "my style." I just stick with the pdf patterns and the occasional printed patterns for now.

 

[CharJ]

Burda is quite, uhm, old fashioned imho

I hope I am not crazy to think that I can make 4 dresses, 3 superhero capes, and 2 pillowcases in 4 weeks, while caring for a baby in the house!

The dresses might be tough but if you plan you can do it! Depending on the amount of detail the dresses entail I can usually do one while caring for 4 kids in 3 days or less. Cutting the night before I start sewing, and using the last day for finishing touches. Superhero capes and pillowcases should be super easy, I bet you can do all of them in 2-3 days at a laid back pace.

 

[PurpleEars]

Thanks for the encouragement! I have the dresses and capes done so far. The pillowcases will be icing on the cake as I won't actually see the recipients.

Here are the capes:

And the dresses:

Thanks for looking!
