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

[RMAMom]

We are planning on taking a sit and stand stroller on our next trip (October so I really need to get sewing!) I was worried that the cargo space is small for carrying park necessities. This "saddlebag" was my solution.

It has three straps that velcro on. The velcro where the little one will sit is hidden under his seat so he can't unhook it as we ride. Only one strap will have to be unhooked to fold the stroller.
I added one zippered pocket to the inside.

The fabric is a home decor weight fabric I found at a textile factory near me. They sell a lot of fabric by the $ at the once a month sale. It is odd with this 22" Toy Story panel. I bought it a while back with no clue how to use it. It was too big for a tote bag and too heavy for clothing. Anyway, this turned out to be perfect! Now I just need to make one more so the stroller doesn't roll in circles.

This is brilliant and what a great fabric find!

I have some non-disney sewing to share.

My grandson was a year old last Saturday. I made him the Jon Jon from the Scientific Seamstress. It's reversible but I only have pictures of the one side. I wish I had better pictures of this it's such a great pattern! The applique came from Stitch On Time. The pattern for the newsboy cap came from Petit Boy on Etsy.
The applique is from stitch on time.

Then I learned about cake smash," back in the day" we never dressed up our kids and had professional shots of them eating their first cake but I wish we did because it sure is cute!

The diaper cover is from Tie Dye Dive on YMCT. The bow tie is from Sis Boom but she uses hot glue to put the tie together, I sewed it. The suspenders came from a free tutorial here

So here are my super long overdue photos.

This one is for the oldest niece. They both informed me after I made this one that they don't like the ruffled strap. So the younger one got the same without ruffle, just scrunchy. At least they will be able to tell them apart.

This one is for the oldest.


And I'm working on a fireworks one for the oldest right now. Not quite done. Need to topstitch and hem. You can't tell from the photo but there are stars falling from the fireworks.


I can't seem to get that first photo to rotate. It's correct on Photobucket but it won't post right side up here. Fireworks one is causing trouble also.

Don't you love cats that help?

These are all wonderful. That fireworks dress actually got a "Cool" from DH - my astigmatism had it strobing on me, so it really looked like fireworks!

Awesome idea...and it's so cool when you finally find THE project for something you 'just picked up' one day.

RMAmom - your grandson is a cutie and that hat is a hoot!

 

[darnheather]

Looking good everyone. Scary about the flooding in Toronto. LOVE the UP! bag SO much. Do you sell those?

Does anyone live in VA? I have six or seven large bags of fabric that needs a new home. Some quilters cotton, some fleece, some mystery. We've just moved and I simply have to give some up. I'd love to gift it to someone from here so I know it's getting a good home. Feel free to PM me if you are interested or know a good place I can take it. Our new Army post doesn't have a thrift store and I know some Goodwills and the like simply throw that sort of thing away which is what I'm trying to avoid!

I just wanted to join in here... I've been a Disney addict for many years, but just recently started sewing (when I found out I was pregnant with my baby girl, who is a year old now, the sewing bug hit!)... I am drooling over everyone's pictures and can't wait to get through the whole thread!

I've been working on some things for our upcoming trip and have been eyeing a couple of fantastic applique dresses that I may splurge on! I will post pictures of what I'm working on as soon as I have enough posts! I tried just now but it won't let me yet...

Anyway, I'm glad to be here!

Hope everyone is well. I'm swamped as usual
I'm looking for some designs if anyones seen any please let me know, I think I've checked all my usual places, but I must be missing them.

Very cute skirt.

Now for my "where do I find" request... I have a friend who has asked me to make princess dresses for her two daughters for their early sept disney trip, one Cinderella and one Tiana. I found Carla C's tutorial for Cinderella, and I found a disboutique tutorial for Tiana, which I think will work modding the simply sweet but I have two questions:

1. How to I estimate how much fabric I will need? I am ordering the fairy frost from fabric.com and want to make sure I have enough. The cinderella dress is 5/6 and the Tiana 4/5. 3 yards total? 4? I was thinking the Cinderella 3 yards blue, 1, white, Tiana 2 and 2? It seems like a lot, but I always find dresses use a lot more fabric than I think they will.
2. I want to add the lily (?) or whatever flower is on her waist, I want to do an appliqué that maybe detaches for washing? The kid is 3, so washing is essential. And I am stumped where to find an appliqué like that. Thoughts? I suppose I could go buy a fake flower at Michaels and call it a day, but I thought the applique would be a nice touch.

And, I am getting caught up on some unfinished projects. I mentioned a while back that all my bowling shirts I made last year are getting too short on my boys. I think I figured out why! I made the Buzz lightyear one first, which still fits. Then I made the cars one which had DIRECTIONAL, VERTICAL (You see where this is going...) fabric. I could only eek out two shirts from 1 yard of fabric if I used the SHORTEST version of the pattern. So I cut the pattern. And then I used that same pattern for the rest of the shirts I made. I had an order for the next size up so I tried it on my kids and it was HUGE! Theirs still fit width, but are too short. I have since re-printed the pattern and am making them all the longest of the previous size, but have to buy 1&1/8 yards of directional fabric to squeeze two shirts. Mystery solved! I can still get 2 shirts from 1 yard of each of 2 fabrics if I use the horizontal arrangement.

All this to say I fixed my favorite ones! I added a couple inch band to the bottom and voila! They fit, and will hopefully last through another growth spurt!
(the rest of the shirts don't fix as easily due to the design/fabric, I think they would look weird.) Before and After (and he's scratching, not picking his nose):

My kids insisted on wearing these to the doctor today and then of course spilled chocolate ice cream on both of them this evening...

I can't help you with the fabric required for the dresses as I typically sew from the stash. I have to say you did a great job with lengthening those pirate shirts. It's too bad that the other ones cannot be "fixed" as easily.

I have a few pictures to share, though they are totally not sewing related. This is a picture of me after a day of clean up in High River.

This is the rail tracks in town.

And I don't think these folks are getting their mail any time soon.

Yikes PurpleEars, looks like there is a lot of work to be done.

We had a large meeting for our city with lots of mayors (old, new and from other cities) since the flood happened out your way. They are trying to put together a plan so our city is safer. We have had flood watches here since I moved out to the valley 8 years ago.

Rats! Two tries to grab the quote...


Princess dress...if you use Carla C's tutorial you will need the same amount for the peplum as you do for the skirt. Without digging up the pattern (which is on a different computer...GOT to get around to putting them all on the network) I can't remember the amount, but I 'think' it is listed separately so you can make a skirt different from the bodice.

If it is not, and you have the Strip Work dress, there is an option for solid skirt and that would be the same amount.

OK, probably didn't REALLY answer your questions.

[Luv2DressEmUp]

Hey guys - I don't post too often, (how do I do smaller pics? Webshots used to let me choose the size but I don't see a choice on photobucket - def willing to make smaller!!) but here are some pics of our trip last week. I didn't do as many different customs as I would have liked to have done but the addition of one more kid made that much more work!!!



Good ol Mickey head shirts.




Prince Charming jonjon and sister Cindy!






Big sis got a halter Cindy dress.




Sweet girls!




Hard to catch all 3 together!




hard to see, but every bike got a Mickey flag (we stayed at Fort Wilderness)




Not completely sewn but still crafted by us! Us in the Fort's 4th of July parade!




Goofy Shirt




"Tangled" dress - her fav!




3 amigos at the Chip & Dale's campfire.




Mickey/Minnie inspired dresses and Mickey jonjon.




Sad to say, but this is the best pic I have of him in the outfit!!

I was thinking I would just double the skirt measurements for both, since I am, well, doubling the skirt... I am not so good with math.

That stinks that the shirts are to short but I think you did a great job fixing the pirate shirt. Very cute! Does this help with the lily
http://shape-moth.blogspot.com/2012/01/fabric-water-lilies-tutorial.html

That's a great tutorial! I think I can do that.

Adorable!!! They are soooo cute in both photos! And great job fixing the shirts!

D~

I think I am just going to keep adding length every year until they are in high school. Hope they stay skinny.

Prince Charming jonjon and sister Cindy!


Mickey/Minnie inspired dresses and Mickey jonjon.




Sad to say, but this is the best pic I have of him in the outfit!!

Great job on all of them. I love the Prince Charming and the Mickey ones!

Here are a couple projects I have finished up this week, the first two are outfits for a friend's daughter who turns one in August.




And a quilt I just finished that is a graduation gift for a friend's cousin (I am a little late on getting this done) I LOVE the way it turned out. The flag was a design I made and printed from spoonflower.com and the rest of the fabric is from a London collection that was out around the olympics a couple years ago. I stitched around the flag even though it is printed and it looks a little like it was pieced, which is great and MUCH easier than piecing the Union Jack.




And the back:

Since it was older fabric, I couldn't get enough of the red or blue so I just made it work.
