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

I have a lot of catching up to do, and will, but for now I am dropping by to tell you all that Joann fabrics has FIVE new Disney Villains fabrics. I know Joann's fabric quality is dubious, but hey, VILLAINS! I already had a skirt planned for myself for halloween and am now rethinking that. I mean, holy cow. So here they are, I saw them yesterday, I know they were not there last week. (they also have some new mickey felt with fuzzy (not its technical name) that is red and black and I have NO idea what you would use it for.)

(please excuse the terrible camera phone pics, my kids were ransacking the aisle while I was trying to check these out.
 
Kids carryons are ready to be filled yay! I got these great backpacks at Children's place originally $30 (canadian) for $7.50 added a patch and their names now they are super cute carryon bags for our flight

Awesome!!! and the kid's should be able to get a bunch of use (besides just carry ons) and a good deal is always awesome.

Aakkk! - I have literally a week left before we go and you show me this!?!?


And I completely forgot to grab quotes, but Hi! to everyone new! (that Little Mermaid outfit is great! - I have a Clone Wars sheet hanging around and was planning on making a skirt. I may have to make a matching bag now. :goodvibes)
 
Hi Everyone... Sorry I didn't have time to go back very far to grab quotes... I sure hope I didn't miss anyone...

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!

You did great with these!!! And great job making your own pattern - I started out much the same way... I was too much of a tightwad to go buy a pattern, so I just started drafting my own. :confused3 And your dd is just precious!

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!

These turned out fantastic!!! And they look like they love them too!

I hope you will come by and show your work more often! Don't sell yourself short - you did a great job on the costumes!



Great job on the Simply Sweet. I have yet to make one :blush: 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:

Thanks for looking!

I love everything Flora - but I really love how creative you were with that sweatshirt - BRILLIANT idea! Also - your quilting - magnificant!!! Is that free motion quilting?

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!

Ariel Feliz


Start of Christmas present sewing. Bitty Baby outfits.



Super cute!!! So, when are you leaving then? Do you have a lot left to make?

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.


zipper pouches

This is really awesome Ruth... I think we need a bigger picture though - I love the fabrics and that Jack applique ROCKS! Are either of these for you?

Hello!!

I just read a bunch of your past posts here and love it!

I too sew. i made a post on another section and told me to come here to see you all. So here I am.

hi!

Little background on me. I am married to my High School Sweetheart and have 2 kids. (ages 18 and 23) I live in Florida.

I made this last year. I wear it often.

I make a variety of things. Not just clothing. I LOVEEEee to sew. Anything from Barbies clothing to making rag dolls.

Your items are just fabulous!!! I just love the vintage look and feel you have going on... And the fabrics you used are spectacular!!! Great job! I hope you have a wonderful trip!

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.

These are great!!! I seriously debated on bringing our own towels last time - they would have been nice to have.

Kids carryons are ready to be filled yay! I got these great backpacks at Children's place originally $30 (canadian) for $7.50 added a patch and their names now they are super cute carryon bags for our flight

I saw these today!!! I did not get all of them, because I didn't like all of them... but I did get two because they really spoke to me... Not to mention a few other seasonal goodies that I couldn't pass up. :thumbsup2

I don't have anything of my own to post... So, I am just saying hi. :wizard:

I make a variety of things. Not just clothing. I LOVEEEee to sew. Anything from Barbies clothing to making rag dolls.
Love the dresses. I am branching out and making myself some clothing, not just t-shirts, for this trip, I am excited.

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.

Love the towels. I keep looking at my to-do list and my head is spinning too and then I just think hey we can wear last years clothing, but what fun is that??

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!


Nini
I have two expedit-like shelves from Ikea, they are the same style w/ square shelves 2x4 cubbies, but were like 1/2 the price of the expedits. Ikea's bins don't fit in them though, which is annoying. I am constantly overwhlemed w/ fabric and scraps and I feel like I will never be on top of it.

Kids carryons are ready to be filled yay! I got these great backpacks at Children's place originally $30 (canadian) for $7.50 added a patch and their names now they are super cute carryon bags for our flight

1239936_10201897916587580_1742774671_n.jpg

1234954_10201897920867687_1354680525_n.jpg
Love those backpacks. I just hit up children's place clearance too and got a couple plaid shirts to add farmer chip and dale to for our Garden Grill dinner.

I did finish something for our trip today! My kids have completely rejected napping, though one kid has fallen asleep on the couch by dinner time twice in the past week so I hope they realize the error of their ways and just nap already!
These are the outfits I have planned for Epcot for my boys, I love the Nemo characters, and went back and forth as to what to do for Epcot, since nemo is such a small part, but ultimately decided they would be cute. I used the Funktional Threads Jackson raglan and did the Nemo/squirt applique MONTHS ago when my new machine was new (and working!) and then the machine broke... Generous and amazing Flora offered to jump in an help out with the larger hoop projects. This one I really wanted to match the one I already finished so I sent it to Canada, and she did an awesome job (as well as a t-shirt for my husband that benefitted from the larger hoop.) on the Mine, Mine, Mine Seagulls.





I'll be honest, I love the applqiues and the colors but I guess I still love the style of the bowling shirt/collared shirts, these I am sort of not in love with. I think they are cute and my boys like them though, so I suppose it doesn't much matter. :)
 
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.

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. :upsidedow I need to finish it up so I can take some pictures.

Thanks. I actually just combined the castle and the bench on Mr. Genie the embroidery machine. I think my niece will have to thank "Aunt Nancy" who is my co-worker. Nancy is the one who talked me into make a quilt for her, since her older sister and brother both have a "special quilt." Yes I cheated and used the embroidery machine for the quilting.

Sending you sewing mojo to finish the skirt!

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!!

Welcome! Please share the pictures of your projects when you get them done! I am sure you do a great job!

The castle with fireworks applique came from Frou Frou by HeatherSue and the Mickey and Minnie on the bench applique came from MissKenzieMac.

Would this be an incentive for you - you can show off your handiwork to a kindred sewer when we meet up in December? ;)

Cool! I am sure the kids are super excited about having these backpacks!

I have a lot of catching up to do, and will, but for now I am dropping by to tell you all that Joann fabrics has FIVE new Disney Villains fabrics. I know Joann's fabric quality is dubious, but hey, VILLAINS! I already had a skirt planned for myself for halloween and am now rethinking that. I mean, holy cow. So here they are, I saw them yesterday, I know they were not there last week. (they also have some new mickey felt with fuzzy (not its technical name) that is red and black and I have NO idea what you would use it for.)

(please excuse the terrible camera phone pics, my kids were ransacking the aisle while I was trying to check these out.

Again, my wallet is thankful that I can't go to Joann's without at least a 5-hour drive. :lmao:

You ladies are so talented! I only wish I could do any of these projects.

Welcome! You never know until you try. Many of us started here with minimal sewing experience (other than from Home Ec) and everyone was making beautiful things in no time. I hope you will give it a try!

I love everything Flora - but I really love how creative you were with that sweatshirt - BRILLIANT idea! Also - your quilting - magnificant!!! Is that free motion quilting?

D~

Thanks D~. I cheated and used Mr. Genie for the quilting :rolleyes1 I had good intention to do free motion quilting on my regular sewing machine but I could not find the foot for it. I am sure it is around somewhere though. Besides, I have at least 3 more quilts I want to finish between now and November, so I am sure I will still get to do some free motion quilting.

Love the dresses. I am branching out and making myself some clothing, not just t-shirts, for this trip, I am excited.

I did finish something for our trip today! My kids have completely rejected napping, though one kid has fallen asleep on the couch by dinner time twice in the past week so I hope they realize the error of their ways and just nap already!

I am glad that you are making something for yourself for the trip! The shirts look great together! I am thrilled that it worked out so nicely for you. I agree that I like the collared shirt look better too. You can tell the boys that the appliques have travelled a long distance each way - even further than from home to Florida! :)
 
I hope you will come by and show your work more often! Don't sell yourself short - you did a great job on the costumes!



Great job on the Simply Sweet. I have yet to make one :blush: 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...

It is 47 days until my trip and I am also coming apart at the seams. I can only imagine how crazy you are right now! I think I will be a total mess by the time my trip comes around.:crazy2:

I LOVE your towels. I have always thought that towels take up too much room in my suitcase so although I would love to have my own towel, I must leave them at home:sad2:

I didn't see any of these when I was there the other day. I only found this one.



And these for $1

 

Ooh the Christmas one is cute. I didn't see that one. But the Mickey Halloween they didn't have with the character stuff, the had it with seasonal so perhaps the Christmas Mickey is too.
I'm wondering what I could make with the villain fabric. We have our breakfast at the castle the morning of Halloween so maybe villains are appropriate. :)

No kick in the pants from me, but lots of encouragement. I know you'll get lots done for the trip. And I remember seeing your studio and if I'm not mistaken, it is HUGE! So no small task to tackle, no matter what you call it!

On second thought, I'll kick your rear if you'll kick mine. I can't seem to stop buying embroidery designs!!! At 4 AM, I'm placing an order! They make it so easy. No infomercials for me when I can't sleep...just buying sprees on the internet. Help!!!

Kids carryons are ready to be filled yay! I got these great backpacks at Children's place originally $30 (canadian) for $7.50 added a patch and their names now they are super cute carryon bags for our flight

These are so cute! What a great idea as well as a great bargain! You go girl!

I bought 2 cloth banners to see together to make a flag I don't know if it is better to use a small length stitch or long can someone please help
Thank you

I agree with Flora a small length would probably be best. Good luck!

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




Great job on the costumes! We love MNSSHP!!! Have a great time.

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.

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!

Your little one is simply adorable! You did a wonderful job on the dress and the other outfit looks really cute. No need to redo the pants, they're fine. Next time you'll have a better handle on how the cut should go. You're doing great!

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

Thanks for looking!

Everything is absolutely gorgeous, but I am IN LOVE with that jacket! What a smart thing to do and it's done beautifully! The pillow cases will be much appreciated I'm sure. I was not accepted into the facebook group, so I guess i've done my last Big Give, but I'm glad it's still alive and well! Thanks for continuing to pitch in that way. Those families are so deserving!

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! :blush:

Ariel Feliz


Start of Christmas present sewing. Bitty Baby outfits.



May I ask why you are not going to Disney as planned? Are you going later this year? If that's too nosy, just ignore it.

Anyway, you have been one busy lady! Everything is beautifully done and starting on Christmas already??? You rock!

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.


zipper pouches

Those are stinkin' cute!! Mo would love those, right? Great job!

I make a variety of things. Not just clothing. I LOVEEEee to sew. Anything from Barbies clothing to making rag dolls.

Welcome!! Everything is lovely and so well done! If you love to sew, this is the place to be for sure. I'm so glad you joined us and thanks for sharing! Keep it coming.:goodvibes

did finish something for our trip today! My kids have completely rejected napping, though one kid has fallen asleep on the couch by dinner time twice in the past week so I hope they realize the error of their ways and just nap already!
These are the outfits I have planned for Epcot for my boys, I love the Nemo characters, and went back and forth as to what to do for Epcot, since nemo is such a small part, but ultimately decided they would be cute. I used the Funktional Threads Jackson raglan and did the Nemo/squirt applique MONTHS ago when my new machine was new (and working!) and then the machine broke... Generous and amazing Flora offered to jump in an help out with the larger hoop projects. This one I really wanted to match the one I already finished so I sent it to Canada, and she did an awesome job (as well as a t-shirt for my husband that benefitted from the larger hoop.) on the Mine, Mine, Mine Seagulls.





I'll be honest, I love the applqiues and the colors but I guess I still love the style of the bowling shirt/collared shirts, these I am sort of not in love with. I think they are cute and my boys like them though, so I suppose it doesn't much matter. :)

Your boys look cute in ANYTHING!! But these shirts are absolutely great and I'm so glad they love them. What a sweetie Flora is for helping you out. :hug:

Your trip is right around the corner and I know you're probably equal parts excited and stressed with so much to do last minute. I know you'll get everything done b/c you do more with your day with 2 three year olds than I do in a week! As for naps, my DD has her kids who no longer nap have at least an hour, usually two of quiet time in their room. They can look at books or take a toy in with them, but they have to stay in the room. It works to at least get them some much needed down time (as well as giving her some time to get things done!). You would no doubt have to separate the twins for it to work for you. Good luck with all you have to do

I didn't see any of these when I was there the other day. I only found this one.



And these for $1


Oh my gosh, I'm going to have to go to JoAnn's and get that Christmas fabric! I just love it! Thanks for enabling!! (I mean that sincerely.:rotfl:)

Here are some shirts I made for Dan and I to wear at Disney. We are probably going in February. The designs are all from Heather Sue. She's a genius!





And some things I'm working on for a shop that buys my stuff: The snow mittens are from Five Star Fonts (love her stuff!) and the fall item is from SWAK (I think?)



These next couple need ironed, but you get the idea. They have me doing envelope pillow cases and the ones I've done are selling very well for them, so they want to keep me busy.

I looove the "What happens st Disney Stays at Disney" shirt. Priceless.

D~ not a single thing in that picture is for me. I have done some things for me for this trip, but DH has already added them to the packing pile, so I'll have to post after the trip.

Lois - yeah, Mo would eat those up with a spoon. I thought about that when I posted the pictures.

In usual fashion I have waited until the last minute to make my bag for this trip. My original, half formed idea was WAY to complicated so I've streamlines, simplified and, in my stash, found the fabric. Now I just have to finish the pattern, cut and sew. All before Thursday. No Pressure.
 
Gorgeous sewing everybody!

@disneychic2 Trip got moved to mid November due to spouse's boss.

And here is the latest sewing.

Snow White skirt with all seven dwarfs machine embroidered and then their names hand embroidered. :fainter: And yes I know it needs ironing but after 30 minutes in the theme park I don't think it will matter. lol

Oh I am sure we would appreciate seeing pictures of other projects too. I still remember Andrea's cake for her DD's birthday, as well as many other non-sewing projects!

The T-shirts are great! I still haven't used the film strip despite having it for over 2 years now. Maybe I should get on it :)

I am glad to hear that your pillowcases are selling well. The snow mittens are super cute! I hope they will sell quickly too :)

great stuff!! And that's the spirit - who's going to care if the skirt's a little wrinkly after a few minutes in Florida Humidity?

I'm sure you'll come up with something fabulous for the EPCOT top.
 
This woman on facebook makes the most amazing dresses, any ideas where/how she is getting the front panels for them? I don't have a clue? Could she be possibly printing them herself? Is that even possible? She has every character possible! My sewing time could be cut in half if I didn't have to applique everything, and all I had to do was just sew!!! I'm dying know!!!

Those panels are so neat! I have not seen them anywhere. I would love to get my hands on some though. I hope someone has an answer.

You've done a beautiful job on everything. The Seven Dwarfs are darling! Thanks for sharing. And I'm so glad you are still getting to go soon. The weather in November is pretty nice, so you may be really glad your trip was delayed. Lets face it, a trip to WDW is magical no matter what time of year.

I looove the "What happens st Disney Stays at Disney" shirt. Priceless.

Aren't you sooo excited for your trip this week???:banana::banana::banana: I hope you get your bag made. I'm sure you will and it will be gorgeous. I told my DH that I want to design and make a bag before our next trip. He usually wears a small backpack to the parks and I thought a cross body bag would be a better solution, so you've inspired me to get going on it, even if it's just the designing of it. I want to make a couple of Christmas tree skirts and some stockings for my DDs and some clothes for my 6 grandkids. I'm also still doing a bunch of stuff for that little shop in Virginia. Oh my, suddenly I'm wondering how I'll get everything done!:scared1:

Have a wonderfully magical trip, Ruth!!!!!!:dance3:

The T-shirts are great! I still haven't used the film strip despite having it for over 2 years now. Maybe I should get on it :)

Re: Big Give - please PM Teresa your Dis Name and your FB Name to be added to the group.

Yes, you should definitely use the filmstrip! It is so fun to find just the right fabric for each space. Some are a little harder to fill than others, but it was fun. Maybe for your December trip? I think it would also look great as a tote bag or purse.

Thanks for the tip on PMing Teresa. Wasn't sure how to let them know who I was. :thumbsup2

Sorry, haven't got a clue. But I'll bet someone on here will.:goodvibes
