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

[babynala]

I have been missing for a while and haven't sewn for even longer but I hope to start this week. I have some curtains to make for my new house. I can't wait to get started on what I have cut out already. I also have to get started on cutting out my Halloween costume since I know making it will take me forever. We have been busy unpacking and trying to find everything in the boxes since we didn't pack ourselves and the movers didn't label all the boxes quite right. Almost everything made it here intact, I brought most of my sewing stuff myself so no problems there. we have a few rooms in the house almost completely set up, still waiting on the kitchen table to be delivered tomorrow. We bought a new one since the only table we had was a dining room table in not the greatest shape. Now I get to use the dining room table as my cutting table. Yay !! I'm so glad I don't have to clear the table every night.

I also got a nice and large sewing room. It has 3 machines in it right now. My Brother, my DS's Kenmore, and my treadle Singer. My sewing room is almost done, I have to make my door panels (I have the fabric) and then find fabric for my curtains. I would like to share pictures of it though, lots of Disney in it. My sewing room from the right of the doors and all around the room.


The fabric hanging in that last one is two aprons that my grandmother made when I was younger. I had a dress made from the plaid that I loved. I also got a new computer, you can see the monitor hanging in the first picture. I figured out what to do with all my antennae toppers since I can't use them on my car...

And my DVC wall in the first picture too. I got my golden key when the guide "lost it" while showing us the Villa's and the hallway of GFV before they could show us the rooms this past December. So sad he lost it by dropping it into my bag for me.

So glad to see you guys are settling into your new home? How do you like Texas? I'm sure it is a big adjustment from where you were (I think it was NH but I can't remember). I LOVE your sewing room. So big and organized. Love seeing all your machines and Disney stuff. Great idea for your antenna toppers Thanks for sharing all your pictures. What a nice way to display those aprons, what a nice reminder of your grandmother.

I made a little tutorial for how to make a lanyard HERE.

It makes me sad to think how long it's been since I actually sewed something!

It is nice to see you on the boards. I don't think I posted much when you were very active but I always remember the great stuff you made and all your helpful tutorials. I made a few of the car seat covers you did a tutorial for. I see a Sisboom dress in your future.

Ok. Last night I nearly pulled an all-nighter (and am paying for it at work today!) to start and finish the Sew Sweet Scarlett dress--my first ever sewing project aside from middle school (I got a C on a pair of shorts). I'm using my mom's old JC Penney machine. The dress looks ok from far away and I'm proud of the bodice especially. I was too tired and confused to figure out how to get a hidden seam on the skirt. Also, my measurements were off, so it's a bit wonky. It's too big for DD, but I think it'll do well as a dress-up dress for play (at home only!).

I have a cute Minnie Mouse fabric to try again with this pattern now that I've given it a go-round.

This dress is really cute. I think you did an amazing job for a "first" project. That dress looks a little tricky to me. Especially at that late hour. Good luck with your next one.

Just popping in -

We went to Disney March 2011 and I sewed DD's some cute outfits I never posted. Now we are booked for February (nearly 6 months exactly) and I have 2 princesses..... ugh! Not sure I will have the motivation! Thankfully ODD (will be 6) is tiny and can practically still fit in her stuff! My goal wasn't overly authentic outfits... but comfy and would let her take something off (skirt) and still feel like a Princess!

'Minnie' skirts!

Wow, everything looks really nice. What a good idea to have the skirt that can be taken off. That is such a cute picture of the girls in their Minnie skirts. Can't wait to see what you come up with for your next trip.

Just a super quick fly-by while I am on my lunch... Sorry I don't have time to respond to all the great items posted in the last few day... I will try to get back here to do that tonight...

D~

I didn't notice the double ruffle on your Jessie bag so I'm glad to I got to see these pictures again, very nice touch. Please don't let anyone autograph it....

Such dedication to stay up all night. You've been bitten by the sewing bug -- watch out.

I hope your daughter enjoys the dress.

HS outfits

Your outfits looks great. It must be fun to have daughters to sew for.

Meanwhile... Sorry to those of you who do not follow my PTR, or on Facebook and have to see these a bajillion times... Here's my latest 2 trip bags for our trip coming up in 19 days...

First is my youngest dd's... She went with Monster's Inc - the original...

Font close-up:

Then... Yesterday I finished up my first trip bag for this trip (I still have dreams of 2 more...) - this is my very first bag I have made for myself since August of last year for my trip to Charlotte - so I was very excited to finally get my own bag! Some of you may remember that I had dreams of a Toy Story UPB last year before our WDW trip - but I had to take it off my list because I ran out of time... I vowed it would be the first bag I made for our next trip. I just love all of the "cowboy" themed fabrics used for these characters in the movie - and I was dying to put them all together... I am very happy with how it came out.

Front:

I have lots of custom orders to show pictures of too - but I will save those for another day.

Can't believe August arrived and your trip is on the horizon. Seems like you've been planning this one for a long time.

The bags look great -- such amazing applique and attention to detail. ​

Oh, those are so cute! I wish I was your daughter - Monsters, Inc is one of my all time favorite movies! I wish I could be even half as good as you on your embroidery. You do AWESOME work!

I am going to resurrect this this post because I thought it was a fun idea. Then I got a little stressed out because everyone was posting all the things that have to make for their trip. LOL.

Let's have some fun!!!​

WHAT IS ON YOUR TO DO LIST FOR CUSTOMS FOR YOUR UPCOMING TRIP???

When is your trip?

Who are you sewing for on this trip?

​

My trip is October 12 - 20th (no free Dining for us ) My son will turn 9 on the 13th.

I am sewing for DS, DD (11 3/4), Me, DH, my mom and dad.

My list of customs:
Finish the bag I started for myself

22 shirts, at least, for the family. My parents like to recycle because they love all the shirts I have made for them in the past. I might recycle a few of mine but I like to have new ones so the pictures look different for our previous trips.

DS will not wear any shorts that I make so he just gets t-shirts.

I want to make my DD a few skirts but I think I will be VERY limited in what she will wear being that she is almost 12. She likes to wear the stuff I make to the park but I'm afraid she won't be too into the "idea" of wearing them so I'm not going to go too crazy.

I think I am going to try and make Chef hats and maybe an apron or two for our Chef Mickey night. Again, they could wear their outfits from last time but it would be weird for the pictures.....

I do need to refine my list but need some ideas for our MK days. Guess I should get started.​

Disney just extended free dining through December. You should call and see if you can get it added.

 

[familyabgar]

Pretty good for an all nighter, haven't sewn since school, dress! And all my proof of concept/sew practice stuff always ends up worn around the house!

Can't wait to see the Minni Mouse version!!

This dress is really cute. I think you did an amazing job for a "first" project. That dress looks a little tricky to me. Especially at that late hour. Good luck with your next one.

Such dedication to stay up all night. You've been bitten by the sewing bug -- watch out.

I hope your daughter enjoys the dress.

Thanks, all! I have been bitten. I'm going to see about making it better this weekend.

I showed it to my DD last night to see if I could get it on her. She said, "I don't wike it!" Oh well, she's 2--she'll probably like it when I try again tonight!

My trip is May 1 - 7 2014 ( I hope)
I am sewing for my husband and myself. We are staying at POP and deluxe dining and 4 day park passes ( he keeps cancelling our trip so I am going big on this one).
For my husband: I am using HeatherSue embroidery patterns for the Bernina to make him t-shirts for each park day, and for some of the character meals I have planned.
For me: I am making a couple of the dresses from Scientific Seamstress for park days and meals, plus a couple of skirts that will get rotated into the line up.
In total I have planned at total of 10 t-shirts for him, 4 dresses, 4 skirts and 2 t-shirts for me.
I would like to make a park/tote/pool bag, so I may add that into my list.

And now I feel sooo far behind in my sewing

If you have Hobby Lobby nearby they have plain white aprons and chef hats (and pink and black aprons too I think) in kids sizes, with the 40% off coupons they always offer you can get them each under $4

Thanks, all! I have been bitten. I'm going to see about making it better this weekend.

I showed it to my DD last night to see if I could get it on her. She said, "I don't wike it!" Oh well, she's 2--she'll probably like it when I try again tonight!

One of my 3 year olds said of the glow-in-the-dark Spiderman shirts I made for them a few weeks ago, "I don't want to wear that, it's not cool." are you kidding me? It glows in the dark. it has spiderman. and BTW you're 3 so you don't get to decide what is cool.

Of course, my kids say, "BTW you're the mom so you don't get to decide what is cool"!

Haha!! She still didn't like it tonight. Oh well! I know she likes the Minnie fabric I bought because when she sees it she says mine!!!

So glad to see you guys are settling into your new home? How do you like Texas? I'm sure it is a big adjustment from where you were (I think it was NH but I can't remember). I LOVE your sewing room. So big and organized. Love seeing all your machines and Disney stuff. Great idea for your antenna toppers Thanks for sharing all your pictures. What a nice way to display those aprons, what a nice reminder of your grandmother.

I love it ! The weather is gorgeous, i am five minutes or less from everything and our neighbors are awesome. yes, we moved from NH, the mountains in NH to be exact. I still haven't sewn yet but the room is ready. we have a lot to do unpacking the rest of the house. I am so glad my DH let me have this room and bought me all the shelving for storage. I miss being able to sew while watching TV with the family but I love this room. I think I mixed my love of Disney with my sewing pretty well. Right now, I can't find any fabric I am looking for though since I am not remembering where I put some of it. LOL ! I found the aprons in my Mom's attic and they brought back a lot of memories. I got to take my grandmother's wedding dress with me to, I wanted to find a way to display it but not sure how just yet. My ceiling fan gets installed this weekend so i don't get too hot in here and I got crystal shades for the bulbs for fun and to throw extra light. I can't wait. I almost put the toppers in storage but I was so sad and came up with this.

The thing I miss most right now is my family and friends. I don't know anyone here and all my family is back in New England. I am trying to get my mother to come out in October and invited my brother for Thanksgiving but I don't think it will happen, my Mother will but not my brother. Also every time I feel like calling, i realize that it is already late here and even later there.

I love looking at all the stuff being made for trips. I can't wait to go back but first I can't wait to go to China. Then maybe we can go to Disney next Thanksgiving. All 5 of us or maybe 6 if my DD16 is living here then.

 

[pyrxtc]

WHAT IS ON YOUR TO DO LIST FOR CUSTOMS FOR YOUR UPCOMING TRIP??? Lots of dresses and a bathing suit or two. A cover up would be a must be as well.

When is your trip? No trip until at least November 2014 so I can't book it yet.

Who are you sewing for on this trip? Hopefully for our new daughter. My boys won't wear anything i make unless I get them to dress up for pirate night on the cruise or something if we go on one that week. FX

 

[nannye]

2 more customs done, so that's what.... 5 done and 15 to go? Ya it's so not happening! lol I won't have anything for me done and I also am doing 5 simple mickey head shirts for a friend.

We leave for Florida in 2 weeks.

I did the appliques, but my mom pieced and sewed together.
The first is V's Disney Treat Dress and the second is a Drizella cutie shirt and inspired skirt set to be worn at magic Kingdom (probably for an hour at the most -overkill I know!)

 

[nannye]

Ok so here is a question:

On our second MK Day we are going to get up at the crack of dawn and go over super duper early to MK to try and get picked for family of the day. If we don't we'll just head over to the contemporary or ride the monorail to waste time. V wants to try for family of the day again, she thinks it's cool. I'm skeptical. This will only work assuming we have an earlier night which we should the night before.

I can't decide what V should wear.... should it be her classic dress or her Treat Dress?





Part of me thinks classic, because well..... but then I think the treat is cute and not as "in your face" We are doing the family magic tour that day and I think either would be fine for her to run around in.

thoughts?

 

[nannye]

I used my last needle and tossed the box (grrrr) I have a PE770 what size needle do those who have one use? Janome brand?

I absolutely love the treat dress! It is cuter than cute! I wish I could wear something like that! It is just so perfect!

 

[disneychic2]

You can order the hardware from Etsy. I have some on the way to me (from China). It is taking a while

I finished the Two zip hipster (Dog Under my Desk).... my first time quilting. I'm glad I don't have to do it for a living






Sorry for the huge pictures, Photobucket is really getting on my nerves lately

I love this! What beautiful fabric you chose too. Great job!

Thank you ! I can't wait to try. I also have about a 6x5 foot space in the center to move around in. it will fit the ironing board with no problems.

Glad you're getting settled into your new home. Your sewing room is fantastic! I know you're anxious to get back in there and sewing, but you're smart to get the unpacking done first.

Ok. Last night I nearly pulled an all-nighter (and am paying for it at work today!) to start and finish the Sew Sweet Scarlett dress--my first ever sewing project aside from middle school (I got a C on a pair of shorts).

I have a cute Minnie Mouse fabric to try again with this pattern now that I've given it a go-round.

I'm glad you caught the bug. You will only get better as time goes on. You did a great job for your first attempt and for being up most of the night. I can't think straight when I'm tired, so hats off to you! Can't wait to see the Minnie dress!

Just popping in -

We went to Disney March 2011 and I sewed DD's some cute outfits I never posted. Now we are booked for February (nearly 6 months exactly) and I have 2 princesses..... ugh! Not sure I will have the motivation! Thankfully ODD (will be 6) is tiny and can practically still fit in her stuff! My goal wasn't overly authentic outfits... but comfy and would let her take something off (skirt) and still feel like a Princess!

Cinderella (YDD had a matching one)

HS outfits

Epcot/Akerhaus 'Ariel' dress

'Minnie' skirts!

I agree with everyone how smart it was to have the princess skirts removable! And I just love that photo of your girls in the Minnie skirts. You did a great job on the skirts and that pose is just precious!

2 more customs done, so that's what.... 5 done and 15 to go? Ya it's so not happening! lol I won't have anything for me done and I also am doing 5 simple mickey head shirts for a friend.

Sorry you won't be getting everything done you had hoped, but what is done is fabulous. I absolutely LOVE that sweets dress! She will get lots of comments on that one for sure. And I think that would be the right choice for trying for the family of the day at MK.

Wow, just two weeks away. Hard to believe it's so close. I know you guys will have such a magical time.

 

[Iamthequeen]

Erin, I love all of V's dresses, but I would choose the Treats dress to wear to try for Family of the Day! That dress is just so adorable!

Everyone here has some wonderful ideas! Love the removable skirts and your two models are cute as a button! I think the Minnie skirts are my favorites.
