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

[chimilady]

We are back, the trip didn't go as well as planned.... 2 outfits did not get worn, oh well, we had too many, a grumpy girl, a hospital visit, a lost photopass voucher, some wasted days blah blah blah, but lots of comments on her outfits! we were stopped by a Dis member at HS. She told me her Scnreen name and now I forget Loads of comments on her fab 5 dress, treats and Mary Poppins! Will post pics eventually.

Is there a pattern for an ironing board cover?
Thanks
Erin

I ran into you on Main Street one night at MK. I can't remember if I told you my screen name or not, but I asolutely loved that treats dress. You daughter looked ADORABLE!!!

 

[Mom2kmta]

I'm still trucking along! I just love the Simply Sweet pattern. I made a short dress/top for DD to wear to a carnival-themed birthday party this weekend. I walked past the fabric in Hobby Lobby and just could.not.resist.

The color in this first photo is a little washed out-sorry about that.

The ruffle-elastic sleeves were a first for me.

Here's a photo with DD. You can't tell but those are Cinderella sunglasses that she loves! (found at CVS, they had other princess ones, too).


Here is an embellished shirt and pair of ruffle pants. The pants are big and were my first try--I just used another pair of pants for the pattern as opposed to a "real" pattern. I'm not thrilled with them, but they work! I don't have the patience to undo it all and make smaller.


Next on my list is going to be a reversible A-line dress (Scientific Seamstress) with lightweight corduroy and flannel fabrics. I've got heavier duty needles to switch in!

Great job! She is too fabulous with those shades!


I really want to thank all of you who have suggested Youcanmakethis.com! I have never made a dress before and was too scared to attempt it but after seeing all of your beautiful creations I finally bit the bullet and ordered one. The pattern was so straightforward even I could follow it! Here's a picture of my daughter and niece. The dresses aren't perfect but all and all I'm pretty
happy with them. Thank you guys so much!

Great job on the Simply Sweet. I have yet to make one The shirt and pants set was cute. I am sure she will grow into the pants soon enough anyway I look forward to seeing pictures of the A-line dress!

And since it has been a while since I shared my projects...

A jacket I modified from a sweatshirt:

A pair of pillowcases I made for a Give:

A dress for my first cousin once removed (my cousin's DD):

And finally, a quilt for my niece:

Close up of the quilting:

Thanks!! BTW...I am in love with this jacket!! The embroidery is adorable and I never would've thought to make a jacket from a sweatshirt. Cool!

We were supposed to be leaving for the World this Friday. Good thing we're not because I've only just finished Izzy's second outfit!

The models look adorable! It looks like they liked their dresses!

Thanks. I had to modify the sweatshirt because it was too long for me. It started out as a men's hoodie (because I can't find a women's sweatshirt with sufficiently long sleeves). I just cut out the hood and modified it as I went. I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

Looks like you have been busy! The Feliz looks beautiful! You are way ahead of me, I haven't even started to think about Christmas gifts yet.

They are so cute!!! and the dresses look fabulous too.

Love that jacket! And Sunbonnet girls are very special in my family. One of my mom's aunts made a sunbonnet girl quilt for her when she was a baby (79 years ago) and mom used it for all of her girls. I remember it from when I was little.

And I actually made stuff!! well, actually I've been making things, I just finally have a picture to post.

I was in a swap and made a couple of versions of zipper pouches. I'm pretty pleased with the Jack applique, and I'm getting very comfortable with zippers.
The other pouch was made with a Spoonflower swatch. Expensive but worth it.

Welcome! Love your stuff! Just realized I started posting without a proper introduction!


I'm also married to my high school sweetheart and have 2 yr old DD. I starting sewing to make her boutique-looking clothing without spending $40+ per dress! So far I've been pretty successful in my projects. Thanks to everyone for welcoming me in past posts despite my lack of "hello!" first.

A jacket I modified from a sweatshirt:

Thanks for sharing, I have that sitting on a bench applique and wanted to put it on a sweatshirt. I love this idea!!

 

[scrap_heaven]

13 days until my trip and I am starting to feel a little like I am coming apart at the seams.

So instead of making an official to do list which was completely depressing me I have decided to take each project as I go and hope I get things done.

This is the 1st completed project towels for each of us to use on the trip.

Awesome purse and dress. Are they from a sheet set? I think I still have mine (well a pillowcase and a sheet). I never thought to turn it into something to wear now! Great idea

Thanks! My grandmother-in-law used to make quilts (by hand!) and one of her favourite ones is the Sunbonnet Sue quilt. I always liked how they looked so I decided to do one for my niece. Your applique looks great! The pouch is nice too. Great job!

Welcome! Your outfits and the purse look great! We like seeing pictures here so please come by and share pictures of your sewing projects, even if they are not Disney related!

Your projects all looked great. I can't see myself spending that kind of money for dresses either!

Thanks for sharing, I have that sitting on a bench applique and wanted to put it on a sweatshirt. I love this idea!!

Thanks. I knew I wanted to do something with that applique and the idea came to me in the middle of the night one night. I am very pleased with how it turned out.

I am sure your family will appreciate the trip even if there are fewer special touches than you would have liked. The towels look fun! I hope it will be warm enough to swim when you are there!

I managed to do one last dress a pillowcase dress with a Cars print. Sorry no photo.

That makes 14 dresses, 2 tops and a FE. Now I'm done. Time for the trip to begin.

Phew, that is lots of sewing. Hope you give us an update on your trip when you get back.

I lurk here all the time, so I thought it's time to share. Just finished our MNSSHP costumes. The boys are going as "wonderland playing cards" and I'm going in a Queen of Hearts Apron. All came out much better than anticipated. I'm very happy!! Sorry I couldn't get the pictures upright. Stupid Photobucket!! Grrr

That is a great idea. I love all the cards and the apron.

I'm still trucking along! I just love the Simply Sweet pattern. I made a short dress/top for DD to wear to a carnival-themed birthday party this weekend. I walked past the fabric in Hobby Lobby and just could.not.resist.

That dress is adorable and the fabric is a perfect fit for the circus theme party. I really love the top you did with the ruffles, super cute. Sorry the pants don't fit so well, can you just roll up the waist or resew the ruffle / leg seam to make them a bit shorter.

I ran into you on Main Street one night at MK. I can't remember if I told you my screen name or not, but I asolutely loved that treats dress. You daughter looked ADORABLE!!!

Cool that you got to meet Erin and V. Actually Erin is V's nanny. Her and her mom made all of V's outfits for their trip.

I really want to thank all of you who have suggested Youcanmakethis.com!

Love those dresses. The colors are wonderful and you did a great job. Which pattern did you use. (Great picture too)

And since it has been a while since I shared my projects...

And finally, a quilt for my niece:

Thanks for looking!

The jacket looks wonderful. Did you put those two designs together on your computer? Love that little dress you made. The quilt is just amazing. Such a sweet story about your grandmother. What a nice sentiment for your niece. Did you do the quilting on your embroidery machine.

We were supposed to be leaving for the World this Friday. Good thing we're not because I've only just finished Izzy's second outfit!

The Ariel feliz is adorable. The Bitty Baby clothes are so cute. Can't believe you have already started on christmas gifts.

The other pouch was made with a Spoonflower swatch. Expensive but worth it.

LOVE these pouches.

Anniescupboards - lost your quote. But wanted to say Welcome! Your dress is awesome (and so is the purse). Really that dress is so cute. Did you make that dress you are wearing in the other picture? Barbie clothes????? are you crazy??? Just kidding but that must be soooo tricky because they are so small. Hope you share some of the other things you have made/make.

I like your plan. I have a similar feeling. So much waiting and then I just run out of time. Too many ideas....The towels came out really nice and you will get lots of use out of them after you get home too.

I have nothing to share but I have been doing a bit of sewing. I made a skirt for my DD but I'm not feeling it. I need to finish it up so I can take some pictures.

Thanks for sharing, I have that sitting on a bench applique and wanted to put it on a sweatshirt. I love this idea!!

I'm mainly a lurker, but I'm working on a few small projects from inspiration here, so I just wanted to thank you all for posting your pictures and providing inspiration to someone like me just learning to sew!!

If you don't mind my asking, where is that applique from? It is just too cute!!

I would love to learn where the applique is from too. Would you mind sharing?

 

[NiniMorris]

Sitting here at 77 days and some change. I have a ton of stuff to do, but outside forces are keeping me from doing what I really want to do...sew.

There are 7 of us going for 10 days. One shirt a day makes it 70 shirts. Two shirts a day makes my head spin! I have finished a total of maybe 12...

I am halfway started with a studio remodel...or maybe it is just a revamp (although some could argue it is just a clean up!) This project has already gone over the time allowed for it. By today I should have been arguing with my husband (well, after 36 years it really isn't an argument, more like a convince him) that I really do need to buy another Expedit from Ikea. I should have had the 200 extra boards filled with fabric so I could prove to him that I really did need it. I should have already sorted my applique fabric into colors and be looking for the containers to put them in. But as it is I haven't even managed to get back to the studio since Saturday. I have three ginormous garbage bags brought up for them to haul it away today.

Since I am waiting on outside forces to give me a date for an important meeting, I can't really make any plans.

Sooooo I really need to find my mojo...I thought I would surely find it when I got some cleaning done...nope...

So I guess someone needs to kick me in the rear! Please....kick me!
