Disboutiquers Part 7 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[princesskayla]

Ok Here is my latest. The pictures didn't come out great for some reason but oh well. Nikki also wasn't in the mood to model this morning

Twirl factor which I love

getting dizzy which is even better!

I really love the shirt but it didn't come out i the pictures that cute oh well!

Very cute! I love the colors. That is always the scariest part of sewing for me - picking out which colors go together. You did a great job.

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

I just had to share my great news....

I got a promotion! A nice little raise, more hours and a manager type position..!

thanks for all the positive vibes!

YIPEEE!!!!!

I finally have some finished projects to share! Finished dh's shirt this morning, but the others have been done for about a week or 2...

First, Sara Beth in her Minnie Mouse dress. I was thinking of adding a little embroidered minnie mouse near the bottom on the red/white part...what do ya think? Or a daisy near the top?

Here is Ashley in her top that is part of our family matching set.

And dh and me....don't mind me...I didn't wash my hair today and walked a few city blocks...tell more later!!! And dh likes to make funny faces for the camera!

i know I resized them, but they look huge...sorry!

These all turned out soooo great! I think a yellow daisy would be great!

I so wich I could get my DH to wear matching outfits! He would never! I may have to try sneaky techniques like Heather does with Henry so he matches without knowing until too late!

Congrats!!! Does this mean you don't have to worry about tickets to DW?

Okay, this is what I have been doing today. It is the first of many outfits for Disneyworld in Sept. It is a little longer than I wanted, but I do not want to redo it so I will live. The bad thing about this skirt is that it is so heavy. This one did not take as long as the first one like it did. Sorry the pictures are not great.


Twirl factor:

She didn't want to take it off to go to sleep.

I have some of this fabric that I bought for this years trip then forgot about it! I love your outfit!

I was MIA today! Trying to get everything in order for our meeting with MAW on Monday! I have to order all new birth certs! I cant find tehm ANYWHERE! And I have no custody papers on Zoe so I have to find a 9 year old court case number and try to look it up that way at the court house! Wish me luck that I am able to get it all done by Monday!

I have lots of pictures to share tomorrow! Old projects I am finally getting back to and finishing!

NIght!

Good luck getting everything together!

That is so great and with wonderful twirl factor! I may have to try one of those!


I was very MIA yesterday. Dh was off so we had my birthday a day early. We went with the kids to Red Robin...YUM! (Okay you have to say that after you say RR in our house, because of the commercials!) Then we came home and I did some sewing. DH got the kids out of the house for a while which was great. I did things yesterday I have never done before. Thanks to Heather's great tut on appliques, i did my first. I bought CarlaC's pattern for the bowling shirt. It is turning out great. I just have to put the sleeves on and the collar and I'll be done! When I get done, I'll post my pic. But now for my BD present to myself, I must go clean house!

 

[jham]

this is the latest thing i have made i bought the fabric from a girl in china i think it is actually what you make sheets out of but it washed great.

minnie is the front and mickey is the back it is for dgd we go in sept.

I love that fabric and the dress came out so cute!

Love it! Great twirl factor.

Just came back from a little cross-border shopping trip. DH took the day off since he has to work all weekend (and it's a long weekend too) Went to Joann's and bought several metres of Star Wars flannel and Tinkerbell flannel for comfy pants for camping, Wall-E & Buzz fabric for shorts and pre-shirred Minnie and Princess for sundresses! I officially love Joann's!
Oh, and we also went to Toys'r'Us for the kids to spend some birthday money, and Target for all sorts of other stuff. And we didn't have to pay any duty or taxes. Great Day! I'll post pics tomorrow - it's all in the washing machine right now

I love shopping! Especially for fabric!

HOLY CANNOLI!!! I finally caught up!!! I know some of these pictures were from AGES ago, but I HAD to comment!!!

I finished my Robin+5 BIG GIVE outfit today!! This is for her 11 year old daughter, Morgan. She's big for her age, so I wanted to make her something that looks like a kid outfit because she has to buy grown-up sizes. I'm hoping she doesn't think it looks too "little kid-ish".

And since I thought you'd all appreciate the humor in it, I'm going to post pictures of my very first customs modeling gig! Tessa was my photographer today and she was very excited that the tables were turned!

I thought I should definitely do "The Megan"!

There is a "twirl factor" photo, but you don't need to see me from the back!

I used the tween flare skirt pattern from ycmt as a base shape for the panels in the skirt. But, I made them flare out a lot more and I added 2 extra panels to make it big enough.

You are SOOOO flippin cute!! Are you SURE you weren't in pageants when you were little?

The outfit turned out GREAT!!! Loves it!!

Sorry I haven't been around lately, we're so busy these days...I managed to print up my door signs for the cruise and I'm working on finishing the outfits. Also I made a special door sign just for Mom..what do you think..

FABULOUS!!!!

Howdy Ho..fellow Disers..I made this for my coworker's cousin's new baby...or something like that. The baby's name is Macenzie, and is just over 6pounds..This is my first quilt ever and a little bit of a challenge but I got through it.

That turned out BEAUTIFULLY!! I just KNEW you'd be fabulous at quiliting!! I saw that gorgeous harlequin pink and white fabric in one of the hearts! I love that fabric!!!

There is a link to a really cute one in Teresa's bookmarks.

http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=221179.0

It rolls up and everything. I didn't need something quite as fancy so I took a yard of flannel and stuck some batting in between and sewed it up with blanket binding. It was easy and lasted the rest of the school year (she had torn up her rest mat with three months left of school).

Doxie approved...MUST be comfy!!

 

[SallyfromDE]

I haven't heard of the characters wandering around yet but there is a photo scene set up where you can take a photo with a lifesize wall e in a little walle scene. I'm thinking it's at Hollywood Studios/MGM.

Yep, found the link, here's a pic

http://land.allears.net/blogs/lindamac/2008/07/walle_photo_op_at_disneys_holl.html

In Studios, over by the Little Mermaid, is the animation studio. It's inside there.

Here are the ops from the last few years.

Here is Ashley in her top that is part of our family matching set.

And dh and me....don't mind me...I didn't wash my hair today and walked a few city blocks...tell more later!!! And dh likes to make funny faces for the camera!

i know I resized them, but they look huge...sorry!

WOW!!!! I LOVE these!!! I was thinking of doing something matchy for us b/c I want to get our Christmas pictures taken on the beach at the poly or coronado springs. DH will absolutely NOT do the matching thing at the parks but maybe I could do a Heathersue inspired sneak attack!!
I think that style top will make me look fatter but yours is so cute I'm willing to give it a go! What patternd did you use??? I'm sure you already answered that, but if you don't mind...

GRR I hate typing on the blackberry. Sorry for the bad grammer and spelling in my last post. I hadn't had access to a computer and really wanted to check in on my give.

I did sew last night. UNfortunately I need to rip out the seam joining the bodice and the skirt. W/ the bodice lined and inter lined and 2 layers of skirt I didn't quite catch all 5 layers...I was skimping on pinning, always in a rush!
BUT I did sew at home. It is the first time I have sewn at home since Christmas when my MIL got her serger. I'd cleaned the kitchen and Mac was at his dad's and B was at band practice and Little uncharacteristically fell asleep at 8:00. So instead of mopping or I decided to drag my sewing machine out onto the clean kitchen table and sew. Just me and a glass of Sparkling Shiraz. It was very therapeutic. I also went through my list of inspiration and came up w/ this plan

MK- Minnie dot wrap skirt and peasant top

Epcot- Friends around the world. Carla C SS(jumper style) w/ peasant top
*I think I will to the skirt 2 layers w/ the top one cut away and the
word fabric as the bottom layer
Ruffled capris

AK- "safari" outfit using Carla C's bowling shirt and easy fit pants in tan w/ animal print mickey head on the back (and a leg..maybe)and some minnie dots wherever I can think to put them

I think I will make Mac a shirt to match and he can just wear cargo
pants.
It'd be cool if I could get their names embroidered on the pocket area. Then they'd look like uniforms.

DHS- Toystory Carla C halter top and Capris. I'd like to put a rex applique on this...but I think Ham will be easier She loves rex, so we'll see.

That doesn't seem like a lot. But I have some "if I have time" outfits. A Cinderella Zuma CASE'd from JHAM and a pirate outifit. I've had these pirate fabrics for a year... I've been waiting for the right time to use them...no time like the present.

The bonus to this plan is that aside from the Cinderella outfit and the tan for the AK outfit I have ALL of the fabrics I need to make these outfits.

I think that we are going to nix the Alice in wonderland themed MNSSHP outfits in the thoughts of saving money and time. If that is the case I have an idea for some cute matching witchy outfits for Little and I using some really great retro fabric.

That is all for now, until I have a chance to catch up.

...t.

Twirl factor:

this is adorable. it was the first fabric i bought. you can definitely tell how much she loves it

i am so impressed. i want to learn how to make a patchwork twirl. the colors are great. i love it. i also think the shirt is adorable. i am afraid of sleeves. i guess that means my daughter can only wear customs in the summer

Super cute! It doesn't look too long to me and now it will fit for a while.

Just came back from a little cross-border shopping trip. DH took the day off since he has to work all weekend (and it's a long weekend too) Went to Joann's and bought several metres of Star Wars flannel and Tinkerbell flannel for comfy pants for camping, Wall-E & Buzz fabric for shorts and pre-shirred Minnie and Princess for sundresses! I officially love Joann's!
Oh, and we also went to Toys'r'Us for the kids to spend some birthday money, and Target for all sorts of other stuff. And we didn't have to pay any duty or taxes. Great Day! I'll post pics tomorrow - it's all in the washing machine right now

How exciting!

I was MIA today! Trying to get everything in order for our meeting with MAW on Monday! I have to order all new birth certs! I cant find tehm ANYWHERE! And I have no custody papers on Zoe so I have to find a 9 year old court case number and try to look it up that way at the court house! Wish me luck that I am able to get it all done by Monday!

I have lots of pictures to share tomorrow! Old projects I am finally getting back to and finishing!

NIght!

Good luck pulling it all together!

Patchwork twirl isn't too bad just time consuming. You can do the peasant top as the sleeves are just straight lines-not set in like a "regular" shirt. BUT....the sleeves went into the bowling shirt very easily too so I wouldn't be afraid to try that one either.

 

[TravelinGal]

Anyone have a good idea for a boy birthday design? DS will turn 4 when we are at WDW this Oct. and I'd love to have something extra cute to wear on his birthday. Thinking shorts and a shirt. Not coveralls and not jeans (too hot)

And, no, I do not know how to applique... All my attempts have been HORRIBLE.

Thanks!


ETA - coverall shorts might work now. He's been potty trained for a year and a half, so he doesn't usually wait until too late to tell us...

 

[lovesdumbo]

Here's the reversible patchwork bucket hat I made for my friend's baby shower. It is a size 0-6 months. I made it to match the bibs and burp clothes I had already made. I already have plans for lots of Disney ones!

How about a bowling shirt and matcing bucket hat?

Will you have a meal somewhere to celebrate?

You could make shorts but do the T as an iron on if you don't want to do applique.

I'm impressed you got your list narrowed down! I still have about 2 outfits per day in my mind. I may be CASEing your AK bowling shirt though

I was just looking for something yesterday since we will be in DL for DS5's 6th birthday. I found some great DISigns on the DISign board. Rumblytumbly has a link to her photobucket acct. Here are her birthday DISigns:

I hope I got that right. My cut and paste is not working so I had to type it out BY HAND

Thing is I was wanting something that was birthday specific. Don't really see how I could do that with a bowling or camp shirt. And I was wanting something a little more special than transfers.

I would consider paying someone to do applique for me, but I'd need an idea before contacting them.

Note I did edit my OP to say short coveralls might be OK now that he's been fully potty trained over a year.

 

[TravelinGal]

Thanks jham, but I do want something a bit nicer than transfers. (nothing wrong with them...I've done plenty of them!!) Just since it is his actual birthday when we're there, I'd like something extra special. (We all know it's for US and not for them! )

 

[mommyof2princesses]

Thank you everyone for the compliments on our outfits. It feels great to get them done! Thetop I made for myself and my dd was Simplicity 3799. it was pretty easy. the hardest part was the circle part but even that wasn't too bad. I bought the xxs, s, m size. I made the medium for me the first time and I looked a little prego in it, so when I made the mickey mouse one I didn't cute right on the line so it added a little more fabric and it falls a lot better. Of course dd got the xs one....wish I could were that!

I was really surprise dh agreed to it. After he tried it on he said he was surprised how comfy it was! he wore it to work today!! Made my day!

 

[Marianne0310]

Hi HeatherSue and TeresaJoy,

Thanks for the info. I have looked at the bookmarks, and wish I could knit or crochet.

After looking at YCMT.com it looks like I'll be purchasing one of the YCMT patterns.

Also, thanks for all the hard work you both do on the Disboards.

Marianne

 

[t-beri]

Thanks!! I thought it might be a simplicity pattern. I am a little on the chubby side so EVERYTHING that is slightly loose makes me look prego- it sucks!!! I get asked how far along I am all the time. But I hate to wear fitted stuff b/c I feel even fatter, it's a no win situation, but I will be sure to add a little to the sides too JIC...Thanks so much!! Heck, I wish I could wear a medium!!!

...t.

 

[Cherlynn25]

Here's the reversible patchwork bucket hat I made for my friend's baby shower. It is a size 0-6 months. I made it to match the bibs and burp clothes I had already made. I already have plans for lots of Disney ones!

did you use a pattern for the bibs
