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

[Tinka_Belle]

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!

That is just too cute. I need to make a patchwork twirl skirt for Jenna. I think is something that she would really enjoy having.

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!

I love that hat. I debated about buying that hat. I decided to get the fleece hat pattern instead.

For the person asking for the birthday outfit a bowling shirt made with CarlaC's pattern from Youcanmakethis.com is very easy to personalize. You could do the horizontal stripes on the shirt and applique something like birthday boy accross the back and then on the front stripe you could put Mickey with ballons and a party hat. Just make some coordinating shorts to match.


Happy Birthday Kim!!!!

did you use a pattern for the bibs

Yes-it is the Chic Baby Bib & Burpie set. I thought it was a bit pricey at $8.95 when there really isn't much to it but the bib does fall nicely and the instructions were good. The hat pattern is much more detailed-has 5 sizes and is only $6.95.

Thanks! I like the fleece one too but want to make a few hats for our trip.

I love them all!! I love those colors, especially for babies. You are really making me want that pattern - lol!


I agree that the bowling shirt pattern would be great to use for a boy's birthday outfit.

I must have lost some quotes somewhere along the way, but I know I wanted to say

Moonk's Mom!!

The McCall patterns are on sale (.99) at Hancock's this weekend starting today!! You are in luck.

I saw that and I went and bought it along with another pattern today!

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.

That is actually my fav part!

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

The patchwork is time consuming but I love them so much! As for sleeves not a biggie and this pattern was a breeze! I bet the Carla C one would even be easier. I am too cheap to spend money on them when I can get others for .99 cents. Although I am itching for a few.

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!

Ok need to find simplicity patterns on sale!

Well, I just finished a Goofy on my cricut and in it his vest is black, his shirt orange, pants blue, shoes brown and hat green. I think it is not quite olive, not quite lime, somewhere in-between maybe?

Hi, I have a stuffed Goofy magnet that I bought at DW. His hat is lime green, shirt orange, vest black and pants bright med/lt blue. Those should be the right colors since I did get him at the parks and it says "authentic original Disney Parks".

 

[mommyof2princesses]

happy Birthday Kim!

 

[SallyfromDE]

I have to show you this fabric I just got!! I made Kirsta a Lilo outfit for Ohana's. I wanted something for my Nephew, so I went on a search. I ordered this from Hawaii. I think it was only $5 or $6 a yard. Shipping was only a couple dollars and I had it in a few days. I'm just going to make him a bowling shirt.

Isn't this the perfect Lilo and Stitch fabric?

Question about serger....mine was delivered yesterday, and I was reading the manual last night and took it out of the box this afternoon. Do you change out the threads with the different outfit that you make so the thread matches...or do you keep it at one color, like white and use that on all outfits? Right now, it is threaded with red, green, yellow and blue and I am thinking those probably aren't the colors that I would stay with. The threading really scares me....I think I will play around with it a little after the kiddos go to bed tonight.

Also, do you buy regular thread or are there special thread for sergers?

Thank you both so much! I am doing a Goofy applique and was not sure on those colors! it is so funny how they have so many different colors on teh internet! i am never sure which ones! lol, Thanks again you both ROCK!

Does anyone else feel like they know the Chung family personally? I'm always typing in ycmt.com instead of youcanmakethis.com!

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!

Woo-hoo!!! Congratulations!!! Do you have enough pull now to get them to open a Disney Store near me?

You are all too stinkin' cute!!!! LOVE the matching outfits!!! Henry has refused to wear anything I make myself. I wonder how I could put tags on it and pretend I bought it...

I LOVE the minnie dot! I think a daisy would look really cute on the front of the bodice, like Denise (Mytwotinks) did a while back!

That's it today ladies....only 2 pages???....are you all ok?????

I KNOW! I've been feeling yucky this week and I couldn't do much but lay on the couch and look at my laptop yesterday. So, I was dissapointed that it was so slow!

Sorry--Your Mileage May Vary

A-ha!! I never would have figured that one out! Thank you!

I've been CASED once, but Tifani, has been CASED many times, as she let me know, just to rub it in, I think! (Just joking with yah T.! )

That is because you are just SO fabulous, no one can touch you!

I really LOVE this!! We used to see all sorts of tulle stuff around here last year, but it's few and far between now. I'm glad to see this type of skirt making a comeback. It's adorable and so is your DD!

This is wonderful! I absolutely love the twirl factor. You ladies are making me think I need to make one of these patchwork twirl skirts! Maybe someday!

: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!

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!

Now I just need to figure out how to sneak Henry's name onto the shirt...

I can't wait to see your shirt, and the applique!

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

I'm quite certain! You are too funny!

i am afraid of sleeves. i guess that means my daughter can only wear customs in the summer

I was afraid of sleeves until I tried a peasant top. I am telling you, this is as easy as sleeves get, and it's pretty darn easy!! You have to try one!! I recommend CarlaC's Portrait Peasant top! Her instructions are very easy to follow and detailed!

That is such a cute little hat! These are such thoughtful gifts! I loved getting homemade things for my babies, so I'm sure she'll really appreciate it!

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

Aw, thank you!!! We used to have to work pretty hard at the photobucket account, but it's so nice now that everyone adds the pictures themselves! Teresa still works on the bookmarks a lot, but I've been slacking!

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.

First of all, I don't think you're chubby. Second of all, I know what you're saying! Loose things make me look pregnant and tight things show all my rolls. I just can't win! Has liposuction come down in price any??

!I bet the Carla C one would even be easier. I am too cheap to spend money on them when I can get others for .99 cents. Although I am itching for a few.

I was a youcanmakethis holdout for a long time. I couldn't believe people spent so much money on patterns when I could find them for 99 cents! Then, I got one and realized how much easier they are!! I think you save money in the long run. I've made the portrait peasant top at least 15 times already, in lots of different sizes and configurations! I've also made the doll sized one a lot, too. We'll talk you into it eventually!

When I made the first one it looked small to me but I was able to get it on my DS(7)-it was tight on him but it made me feel better that it would fit a baby or toddler and I think I could increase the size if I had to. I put terry on the back and it looks nice but it was really hard to cut and really messy-shedded all over my house. I may try flannel next time-it might even be less expensive.

I love them all!! I love those colors, especially for babies. You are really making me want that pattern - lol!


I agree that the bowling shirt pattern would be great to use for a boy's birthday outfit.

Thanks! I might try making a bigger hat tonight but I really ought to work on my DS's bowling shirt. I just need to do the sleeves and collar but those are black and black is hard for me to see at night.

OKay I have a ? What color is Goofy's vest and hat? I looked at several pictures but they are all different colors! i have seen the hat in Olivia gree, Bright green, Black and purple! lol and the same for the vest!

Thanks ofr any help!

I agree with the lime green hat, orange shirt, black vest and royal blue pants.

I made this for my daughter for our trip to DL in December this year...Just wanted to share. I have only sewed a few times in my life...usually curtains and a costume once or twice...but I really do not like patterns. I'll add a few more They need to finished off with matching bows, tights, and boots/shoes...I'll send the finished look, once completed!!! How fun is this!! I am getting obsessed!! Hahaha...so happy to have found this board!!

 

[charlinn]

Here are a few more...

The xmas one I still need to finish...I need to decide if I am going to have buttons on it, criss cross in the back...ugh...decisions decisions. Good thing I have 4 more months to go till our trip!!!

I change the threads with each outfit usually. Rest assured, a serger gets way easier to thread after you've done it a few times. I don't look forward to changing the thread but it's not all that bad either. I personally use Wooly Nylon thread most of the time. I buy mine from Thread Art's site. http://www.threadart.com/shop/ It's an off brand, they make all their own threads but quality and service are great. Some only use wooly nylon for swim and extra stretchy stuff, I use it for everything because it is really soft and light.

Another vote for well worth the money. All of the patterns I've gotten from there have been great. Carla's in particular are amazing. They are easy and fun and you can make them over and over again. I just finished a bowling shirt that I've got to get a pic of tomorrow and I'm amazed at how awesome it came out. The last time I attempted a collared shirt was a DISASTER! DH actually walked in as I was holding it up to the light angrily and goes "seriously, that's a mess, don't waste more time on it". He was right. Then I got the bowling shirt pattern and voila, a perfect shirt. I figure I lost 99 cents on the big three pattern I tried first

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! I needed them today! First year not with my mommy on my birthday...I will see her Saturday, but it still seems weird being away from her!

I finished the bowling shirt and I must say, Katie is so proud of it!

I think this may need to come with a warning...she is a HUGE NASCAR fan and she LOVES Kasey Kahne. We just decided the other day to go to the October race so she needed a new shirt...right? So here she is in all her racing glory!

And my very very first applique (thanks Heather!!!! )

Thanks! She loved it!

I've got to agree with you on ycmt patterns. I thought I was being foolish spending $10 on a pattern for a simple pair of pants but I can honestly say it was the best purchase I could have made. It gave me the confidence to start sewing again and showed me how to make a professional looking garment. I have used it at least 10 times since May. I know I wouldn't have the patients to trace out a comercial pattern so I love that with the e-books I can just keep printing the patterns out for different sizes or different styles. All the other patterns I have tried have been great too. All the directions have been so great. Well worth the cost!
