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

[babynala]

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!

Next time don't ask....if it was so easy. I hope she changes her mind.

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



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.

Thanks for the tip about the Hobby Lobby aprons. I will probably do that for my DS and then make a cute Minnie inspired one for my DD. That Spiderman shirt does sound cool. Maybe he will change his mind when his brother wears his and gets lots of compliments.

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?

we are going in oct 2014
I have already made t-shirts for the 6 of us. 2 sets one animal print mickey heads for AK and pirate mickey heads, we are doing a pirate day!
I also am doing iron on t-shirts for EP a girl on disboard made a mickey head pic with our family names on it and all the flags. Just have to print them out and iron them on. I have made pages for each day telling my DGDs where we will go that day and what they should wear. do not disturb door hangers, several sets of mickey/Minnie ears, trip books, and I am working on making Disney themed purses......whew and I still have a year to come up with more stuff.......

You have been busy. Now I'm feeling more behind

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.

Glad you are enjoying Texas but I know it is hard to be so far from family. The time change does make it hard. I used to have the same problem with my brother when he lived in Colorado because when I was ready to make phone calls it was too early for him.

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!)

Wow, I really love the treat dress. The saying you used is perfect. Love the 3 layers of ruffles on the bottom of the dress. The Drizella outfit is very cute too. I would also go with the treat dress for your try at the MK family of the day, it is different but really adorable.

I don't have a 770 but I just use the needles I got with my thread. I think they are a 70/80 if that makes sense. I'm sure there is a better choice.


Hmmm, I lost some quotes.

[Iamthequeen]

Erin, I always use Schmetz needles - they should have one marked for embroidery -- a size 11 or 12 should be about the right size.

Hope this helps....

Just popping in -

'Minnie' skirts!

I love this one. I think my dds need one.

Gorgeous!! I love your bags. Wish I had half the talent you have.

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

Love it~!

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.

I'm having a craft room envy LOL Nice room !

Question to all of you, I saw a dress with lots and I mean many layers of ruffles on the back almost over kill but very pretty. it has a front panel to the bottom front of the skirt. I'm trying to find a pattern but have no idea where to start. Maybe I should start by finding an example and maybe it would be easier to get help Do any one have an idea of what dress pattern I'm talking about?

As for how much I have to do before our trip at the end of October my answer is too much and probably won't get much done.​

I'm assuming the appliqué was done on an embroidery machine? (green with envy) could any of these sweets be done with a regular machine? Is there a pattern you could direct me to for the appliqué? Would it be weird to put a sweet appliqué on a pair of jeans or shorts for adults or even one sweet or a row of 3 on a tee for an adult? I can't stop thinking about how cute the appliqué is so until I have a little girl I'm trying to figure out what I can get away with wearing as an adult! Lol! Thank you!

 

[Iloveeliot]

Can you guys point me in the direction of your favorite patterns of things to gift a mom expecting a little boy (her first). She is due in November so winter stuff would work. I haven't narrowed it down at all yet. Cute burp cloths, bibs, blankets, clothes, nursing drape cover things, etc. I want to make her something that will seem special and not just be something the baby wears once for a few hours. Totally open to anything. What do you all think? Nothing that requires a massive amount of skill. I have a regular machine but not an embroidery machine. Thank you!!!!

 

[disneychic2]

Erin, I also use Schmetz needles, usually size 11. I don't have a 770, but these work with my Baby Lock machine quite well.

Also, what's the pattern for the treats dress? Is it from Carla C?

I'm guessing it's either the Feliz or the Vida (never made them, but people talk about them all the time.) found this post:

Does that help?

that's a nice one too. I'll have to look into it and find that pattern.

I am pretty sure the one in the pictures is the Vida dress.

There are many ways to customize these dresses. adding ruffles like in your pictures is one way to do it.

The first dress is the Grace by our own Lisa. You can find it on her Facebook page or on YCMT

I was going to suggest the grace ruffle dress from funktional threads or the irelyn peekaboo ruffle dress by fairy tale patterns on craftsy. It had a ruffle panel in front but i have seen it done with the skirt twisted 180 degrees so the ruffles on the back. It looks way more complicated than it is.

THANK YOU! that's exactly it. I have been looking for it for a while without luck. Don't know why I never thought of ask here. Of course you know where it's from. Thanks again

Has anyone done it? How bad is it? I know how long ruffles can take and am not scared of them but if you tell me it's a 12 hour dress, I might stay away from it. 5 hours, I wouldn't mind. That's 15 hours for 3 dresses. I can do them in almost a day

 

[darnheather]

First we moved and then our vacation was on hold for two weeks so I haven't done any sewing in a month. Now that we've got a new reservation for November I need to get moving. Hopefully can at least knock out a purse tomorrow to get myself back in the swing. Great to see all of you working on such beautiful things as always.

I honestly think the Irelyn is the Farbenmix Feliz just turned so the ruffles are in the front. If you want the ruffles in the back buy the Feliz. Farbenmix are fantastic patterns!

Let's have some fun!!!

Okay looking for suggestions.

My cousin is going to Disney in February. Was thinking of making her daughters matching Disney dresses for Christmas. Any suggestions on a pattern for something easy for a newbie to make. Her girls are 3 and 8. The older one is on the "plus" size.

A friend is also going (late teen) and she said she wants to match too. If even possible something I could make for her 6 year old son that I could match the girls.

And this may be the tricky part. The younger 2 (boy and girl) have sensitivity issues due to ASD.

Thanks for the help ladies!!!!

I highly recommend anything by Scientific Seamstress or Sis Boom (Both Carla C.) And they have several patterns for girls that have a matching pattern for women.
