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

[jham]

Goofy G, love the pictures of your gorgeous kids!

Anna, Love the birthday party pictures (and the birthday boys' tee shirts )

Hi everyone, I am a lurker learning to sew. Some of you may remember a couple of months ago I was making a quilting organizer (well that's not done yet) but I did finish my first sewing project and it was so fun. For those of you who didn't know, I bought my first sewing machine right after Christmas and I bought it at Joann's fabrics. In Joann's is a store (close to home it's called) that rents space from Joann's. Well if you buy a machine from them you get 12 months free of a Creative Sew Club that meets once a month. So far I have been working on my organizer (for three classes now), usually it's a different project. Anyway July's was a scalloped pillowcase and I finished it. The yellow fabric is supposed to be cording but I did a flat cording (just because I'm still a beginner and I wanted to be able to finish mine that night). So here is my first COMPLETE project. I figure I can make a lot of pillowcases now, lol.

That turned out great! I want to make some pillowcases for our Disneyland trip since we'll be bringing the big pillows in the car. Mine won't be that fancy though!

I finished Joe's shirt for Chef Mickey's. I never knew how difficult it can be to sew on black-my eyes aren't as young as they used to be. I liked Lisa's idea of yellow & red buttons but went with the black ones I had on hand.

Here's what Emma & Lizzy will be wearing:

Love it all but I may have to CAB that cool bowling shirt! It turned out great!

Here's a dress I made for Emma and top for Lizzy. I used the bodice of the Tiered Flouncy Sundress and the "skirt" of the a-line to make these. Super quick and they look so perfect for Disney in August.

cute!

Lori, Jojo's spider outfit is adorable!

All this new cute stuff!

??? for those of you with 2 yr old girls.

I am making this skirt for my niece and my cousin gave me her waist measurement of 191/2 and that sounds so big for a 2 yr old! Nikki's is only 22 1/2 and she is 8. My niece is very tiny and I know Nikki is tiny but still. When I cut out and put the elastic in the casing it still looks so big.
So my question is what is your 2 yr old's waist measurement. I asked for her to measure Anya's waist again but I am not sure she is doing it right. They are in Tampa so it isn't like I can just get in the car and measure it myself.

That measurement sounds reasonable. It's amazing how little the waist changes in size compared to length as kids get bigger. Here's a chart I like to use to check measurements that seem off based on clothing size: http://www.fiber-images.com/Free_Th...e_reference_charts_standard_measurements.html

My 2yr old measures 191/2 in the waist, remember that they have toddlers bellies. My 4yr old measures 20, but has no belly.

Here's what Emma & Lizzy will be wearing:

WOW these are all fantastic!!! Where did you get the black mickey heads on red?? I have only been able to find it in flannel OR in a $20.00 quilt kit and my son LOVES it!!
Love the bucket hats too...great use for those patches!!!

I have a weather question. We are going to WDW in late November early December next year, what type of clothes should I do, long or short sleeves. pants or shorts?

All of the above. During the day you may get away w/ tees and shorts but in the evenings it will most likely be cool. You should plan for layers. We go at the end of Oct. (earlier this year though ) And I plan for a lot of skirts or capris and take along long sleeves to wear under tees or light jackets to wear over as well as tights to throw on Lily's legs if she is cold.
I know that I've read that a few others use the pants for boys that zip off below the knee, we take those for mac and that usually works out good.

The weather here is somewhat unpredictable so it's best to be prepared

GRRR.... my computer froze twice while I was trying to upload those photos to my photobucket but it seems that now I have them- some of them twice, I think.
I'll pull them up and post them now.

My 2 year olds waist is about that. Don't forget that they thin out as they grow.

Here are some pictures of the girls a yr ago at disney world. The animal kingdom outfit my friend made.

 

[GoofyG]

Here's a picture with them in their halloween outfits. Also couldn't resist the sleeping princess.

No my mom didn't make the dress, but it was a beautiful find.

Now this yr she wants to be a pirate, go figure. (it's a good thing though, since I cut her hair short)

Thanks! Wow it really doesn't change all that much. My concern is because my niece is very tiny (45 for weight) and my dd is very tiny neither have an oz of fat. I am so jealous! LOL

My 2yr old measures 191/2 in the waist, remember that they have toddlers bellies. My 4yr old measures 20, but has no belly.

Thanks! So I guess I will sew it up then.

My 2 year olds waist is about that. Don't forget that they thin out as they grow.

See she is a peanut and tiny already just like Nikki was as a baby. The again Nikki is 8 and can still wear a size 5 in some things they are just shorter .

SO CUTE!

My 4yr old isn't even on the charts for weight. I think she may have hit 30lbs, and she turned 4 uin March, my 2yr old is heavy compared to my 4yr old. The 2yr old is 25lbs, so I know tiny, and now the baby is very tall, but at least on the charts 13% is all, but the Dr was thrilled to finally get one of my kids on the charts. So my mom has to change things around when she is sewing.

ISn't it funny how different kids from the same family are? Nikki was always tiny and Kyle was always a moose! They are 2.5 yrs apart and they both weigh the same amount! I think I will just sew the skirt up and at worst case we pin it for Chef Mickey's and she grows into it

HI everyone!!! Its been a LOOOOOOOONG time. Life has been so crazy. I still have yet to sew anything for Georgia in a long time. Lets see on the update.

Kevin is still gone, so that means I am working two jobs and taking care of the Little Georgia Peach. Its summer, so its been tough with the YMCA bill, but at least the ex in laws are helping with that. She goes there every three weeks so the bill isn't so high. if she was there the WHOLE summer it would have been $1600! Thankfully, they get how hard it is since Kevin isn't really helping $$ at all.

No Disney trip this year.... but working on it.

I am looking at everyones new outfits and they are sooo great! Totally makes me want to dust off the machine and get to town (when I have time of course! )

I hope everyone is doing well. I have missed you all!

So happy Anniversary to Heather and Henry! That is so fun you got married on the same day! And a belated Happy Anniversary to david and Barbara!
My mom and my step dad got married on my step grandparents anniversary since they were married for I think 50 yrs and they thought it would be lucky. Sadly my step grandma died on that same date so it went from a lucky date to a not so lucky. So we were hopping my nephew their 3rd grand baby would be born on that day but he came the day early. Either way I love that you all got married on the same date how fun!

Try not to stress about her going to school ( I know easier said then done! Hopefully she will get the teacher you requested if not I am sure she will be fine. You are an involved mommy and no matter what happens she will do great!

I stress alot about the teachers especially this yr. Now that Nikki has been DX' with Celiac it brings a whole new ball game to a good teacher! Kyle for the past 2 yrs has had awful teachers so I pretty much taught him everything at home. He is such a go with the flow kind of kid it worked out

I can't believe school starts in a month!!!!!.

Thanks! I am sure I will be fine once school starts, and we get into the routine, but I cried when Corey started High School too!My baby boy will be a JUNIOR this year!!!!

I finished Joe's shirt for Chef Mickey's. I never knew how difficult it can be to sew on black-my eyes aren't as young as they used to be. I liked Lisa's idea of yellow & red buttons but went with the black ones I had on hand.

Great job!!! I think I prefer the black buttons to colored ones on this shirt. It looks really good!!!

And I love the girls outfits!!! Too cute!

I made Lizzy a Pooh hat. I was able to enlarge all the pattern pieces 5% on a copier. I used the same size to make one for Joe. I still need to add the lining. I bought those patches in 2006.

Those are too cute!!! When Corey was a baby, and Miss Cammie was just barely out of Pampers, he wore hats like that! He was SOOOO cute in them!

Here's a dress I made for Emma and top for Lizzy. I used the bodice of the Tiered Flouncy Sundress and the "skirt" of the a-line to make these. Super quick and they look so perfect for Disney in August.

Cute!!!! I love these, nice and simple and absolutely adorable!

WOW these are all fantastic!!! Where did you get the black mickey heads on red?? I have only been able to find it in flannel OR in a $20.00 quilt kit and my son LOVES it!!
Love the bucket hats too...great use for those patches!!!...t.

I've seen that fabric at Hobby Lobby. Let me know if you can't find it and I can pick some up for you.

Here are some pictures of the girls a yr ago at disney world. The animal kingdom outfit my friend made.

I love these outfits! Your friend isn't Dena, is she? (woops, I meant to ask that about the Animal Kingdom outfits! But I love these too!)

Kelly, I've thought about you so often the last few months! I am so glad you checked in!!!! I am sorry you had to go through all this

No, she is a friend from high school. Now she lives in Mo.

Well I decided to do the applique.

Love the dress with the applique. Glad you decided to add it!

Hey everyone. I wanted to share my BIG GIVE story.

Chianna Striking a pose

This is her Cinderella outfit

WOW! That was so nice of Cathy! Chianna looks so pretty in all those poses! It is so cool that she can button those buttons!

Well, I decided to try doing tiny appliquéd apples to use for the covered buttons. Here's my test button:

I only had one button set in that size so I just did this one to try it. I'm glad it's only a test because I realized the thread ends from my knots show through the yellow fabric. I need to get some buttons today so I can make the final ones to use - and then the dress is finally done!!!
.

I love those buttons! And it took me many looks to finally see those threads!

I posted a picture of this outfit, before it was done...a long time ago.. Anyway, I finally took a photo of Ireland in it today...and she wanted me to tell you all that she got her hair cut...6 inches. Ouch! I was not expectng that, when you ask for just a trim...:

It came out beautiful! I love the applique on the front. I was going to add an embroidered picture just like that to Sara Beth's skirt and it was too big for the squares I am doing....Maybe I can use it as for something like this!

I decided that the girls will be a bride and groom for Halloween. They don't go trick-or-treating, but will be going to MNNSHP. After seeing a photo on eeek bay, the girls wanted to be corpse brides... What happened to my sweet little girls. Well anyway in the photo was a boy and girl. One was the bride and the other the groom, it was really cute. So the girls are fighting over who will wear the dress. I wound up buying the tux...it looked too hard to make, with the bow tie, and all...
The only difference is, on Halloween, Ireland will have grey skin, hair, and carry a grey bouquet....

The dress is made from grey satin, tulle and silver lame'. I decided to shirr a panel in the back instead of putting in a zipper. I don't do zippers
The skirt part, is a seperate skirt and made of three layers of satin, with tulle strips. I tacked the skirt to the top, but it does have an elastic waist and can be 2 pieces if need be. Just the weight of the skirt was a bit much...and was not staying up well on it's own. Ireland loves it and was trying hard to be scary...she did wind up scaring the dog...:

That makeup job is awsome! She looks really scary. The dress came out good too. I really need to learn how to shirr!

I came across this dress someone made on YahooGroups for the FarbenMix patterns. I thought it was adorable with the Ariel fabric. Since it's been "cased" alot lately I thought someone else might like to see it. I did crop the head out so no one could see the child.

I love this dress! has anyone here done a farbenmix pattern? How hard are they? I really like the pattern that was used for this dress.

I just finished an outfit for Jenna. I got inspired by all the recent Halloween things that I have been seeing lately. You can't see it very well in the picture, but it has witches all over it.

This is really cute. I love the hoodie underneath! I haven't even started thinking about halloween!

Here is the first picture of my 3 kiddos. My mom made the girls outfit, and I just happen to have a frog outfit for my little man. Enjoy!

i wish the pics were bigger! They are absolutely beautiful!

oh I am working on our second halloween outfit... we love boo day around here.. We call it jo-toberfest since it is josephines birthday on halloween. so we celebrate all year long.
I tried to get her to be scared for the pictures...hmmmm

She doesn't look too scary to me! very pretty! I love the patch on the pants !

Here our some pictures of the girls wearing wall-E. DD4 wore hers to the movie

They look so cute!

Just couldn't resist posting the girls birthday pictures and Attikus 1mos
Ellarie 4

Those are beautiful pictures! You had them done at Pennys? I will have to try there next tme!

Here's a closeup of the scalloped edging.

You did a great job! That is cool that you get a year of classes.

I finished Joe's shirt for Chef Mickey's. I never knew how difficult it can be to sew on black-my eyes aren't as young as they used to be. I liked Lisa's idea of yellow & red buttons but went with the black ones I had on hand.

Here's what Emma & Lizzy will be wearing:

Love that shirt! The girls dresses came out great too!

I made Lizzy a Pooh hat. I was able to enlarge all the pattern pieces 5% on a copier. I used the same size to make one for Joe. I still need to add the lining. I bought those patches in 2006.

Those hats are great! I love them both! I showed my mom the pattern today and tried to hint that I really wanted it! You did an awesome job!

Here's a dress I made for Emma and top for Lizzy. I used the bodice of the Tiered Flouncy Sundress and the "skirt" of the a-line to make these. Super quick and they look so perfect for Disney in August.

Those are cute! And they are perfect for August heat! I am so looking forward to lat sept/oct trip. I know it is still hot, but I am hoping a little cooler!

 

[mommyof2princesses]

Anyone here from Linette (MrsMiller) lately. I haven't seen any posts from her lately and was thinking about her.

 

[NaeNae]

All this new cute stuff!

??? for those of you with 2 yr old girls.

I am making this skirt for my niece and my cousin gave me her waist measurement of 191/2 and that sounds so big for a 2 yr old! Nikki's is only 22 1/2 and she is 8. My niece is very tiny and I know Nikki is tiny but still. When I cut out and put the elastic in the casing it still looks so big.
So my question is what is your 2 yr old's waist measurement. I asked for ehr to measure Anya's waist again but I am not sure she is doing it right. They are in Tampa so it isn't like I can just get in the car and measure it myself.

My DGD2, GoofyG's DD, is 19 1/2" in the waist. I think I do 16" for the elastic.
Hope that helps.

 

[lovesdumbo]

Love it all but I may have to CAB that cool bowling shirt! It turned out great!



cute!

Thanks! Feel free to CASE-I can't imagine you would butcher anything! I really liked the Mickey shirt that someone (was it 2cutekidz?) did in black/white/red too.

WOW these are all fantastic!!! Where did you get the black mickey heads on red?? I have only been able to find it in flannel OR in a $20.00 quilt kit and my son LOVES it!!
Love the bucket hats too...great use for those patches!!!

Thanks! I got it at JoAnn's. I think it was within the last month. Do you want me to check to see if they still have any? It is really thin.

I was wondering what I could do for a hat for my DS that wouldn't look too girly or babyish. I had that red/black Mickey and the navy Mickey but wasn't sure I would like them together and they were both very thin fabrics. Then I considered solids like black and red but thought that wouldn't really be his style so I thought of the denim and I thought I've got a Mickey applique at home and then I remembered those park patches. It is actually a tiny bit big on him now so it should fit for a few years. I do have to figure out how the alphabets work on my sewing machine so I can make a label with my phone number.

Here are some pictures of the girls a yr ago at disney world. The animal kingdom outfit my friend made.

Super cute!!!!!

 

[minnie2]

My DGD2, GoofyG's DD, is 19 1/2" in the waist. I think I do 16" for the elastic.
Hope that helps.

Yes thank you! Hum doing the elastic smaller then the waist size???? I always did DD's the same size as the wast maybe that is why all her skirts are falling off!

 

[princessmom29]

that is awesome. How old is your DD? Mine is turning 5 this year!

Mine is turning 5 too! Too funny! She likes it so far, but I am so afraid she will one day not like having her birthday on Halloween.

We've kept them separate so far, party on one day with whatever theme she chooses and Halloween and trick or treating another day with whatever costume she chooses.

She's already decided she wants a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday. Of course, she told me that shortly after watching the show the other day!

My DD will be 5 Oct 25. Sometimes we have a halloween birthday sometimes not. We did last year.
