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

[spongemommie05]

Okay so i have a question ?
Has anyone ever done an applique on a pair of sweats before ? if so is it pretty simple? The reason i ask is... i am a huge Twilight -Stephenie Meyer fan and i am going with the TwilightMoms to Forks washington i wanted to applique some sweats with Forks all over it as my pj's because it is gonna be cold...... But i am so excited..... a vacation away from my hubby and kiddos for 5 whole days ...

DH had his birthday today at the waterpark! Here are a few shots:

And some totally unrelated garden pics!

DH and the girls work in the garden every night!


Ok I can't find anything else to torture you all with and I have insomnia!

Since Kaitlyns birthday is coming up in less than 2 week I better get to work on her Tulle Petti that will go under the skirt I am making her for her Birthday party. I finally finished it last night so here are some pics of it.

Here is the fabric she picked out.

I think it is adorable and was shocked to see it is now on clearence at Wal-Mart. I am also really glad I bought this fabric for Madison.

I got it for 2.00 a yard and bought 1.5 yards. I am thinking of a strip work top wih the colors in the fabric, and ruffle jeans to match since it will be cool soon.

My walmart had a bunch of charcter fabric on sale, I went back 2 days later and it was all gone the lady who works there said one woman came in and bought everything they had left.

That petti is just too cute. I just can not make my mind up to make one.

I have that same girlie fabric. I made a messenger bag for Jenna to use for school. I need to take a photo to show everybody.

I finally finished my Camp Rock outfit!!!

Lori

Well I am the new one that started out on Monday. I posted the 2 I did, and did 2 more tonight definately practice practice practice... let me know what you guys think or if you have any suggestions. Again you all have been a great help!!

I got some of that sticky stuff on my iron and guess where it ended up...yep on the shirt. Oh well.

Ok here is the one I really experimented with, I think I should have waited until I had more practice.

[Disneysnel]

Boy, your son is handsome!

I'd love to see your clay figures! :

Welcome to the group and now we need pictures!!!

Um...ditto on the "we need pictures"! And your DS is handsome, post often so we can see his picture!

Thank you SO much for your compliments and interest!

My DH UNFORTUNATELY decided to refurbish our basement MONTHS ago and my studio is a sea of snow globes (Disney ones of course so I don't dare go in there as I would probably break one) which is where the computer is with all of my pics on it - as soon as he finishes and I can get in there, I would love to show you all some of the little outfits I have made for them - inspired by all of yours.
We leave for WDW in less than a month so fingers crossed - he finishes before then!
I am going CRAZY without being able to sculpt or sew! Well, at least I have a trip to plan.

Thanks again,
Kelley

[mommyof2princesses]

here is the outfit sorry the picture is so big

This is such a cute idea. I may need to make one as I don't know if I will get a whole oufit done before Sunday for a baby shower!

I posted the dress a few days ago but dgd decided to model it.

REally cute! And what a pretty model!

This isnt a disney but I think it came out cute, it has a pair of lt blue leggins
I love this patteren

I like that pattern. It is really cute!

you all have posted some adorable stuff the past 2 days!!!

That is really cute! I know some little girls who would love that!

Happy Birthday Edmund!


Your veggies look great! Mine are dying away. I had 2 cucumbers turn yellow....why did that happen? and my tomatoes are lookign pittiful. It probably doesn't help that we are in a drought and it has been 100 degrees!

 

[minnie2]

since yesterday I kept getting "need to log in" even though at the top page it said welcome,mrs miller so I was unable to post Anybody else had the same problem?


MINNIEVANMOM :

i am glad you like the dress, it was not difficult to do (less than 1hr) I did cut it free hand in the fabric (for my niece) but I will try to do another and take more pictures for a better tutorial, the casing for the elastic was easy , just make sure that you sew the casing big enough for the elastic to fit thru

I put the elastic , before closing the final side seam of the dress
I will work on this today or tomorrow morning , you can pm me or email me at linnettevl@yahoo.com

I have this cotton fabric that might work for you (let me know what color)

about 3 yds of each, if you want I can send you the fabric for your costume, is cotton but it works fine as is lined, I also have the fringe that I could send you too...(somewhere in my pile of mess!!)

I hate to do zippers this is how mine usually look
(I know, I know !!! bad, bad )

(Sorry but did not have a yellow zipper so had to use a white one)

If I could only glue them to the outfits

linnette

Linnette, you are too sweet! For the record your zippers look fab!

Okay, so my kids are narrowing down their Halloween costumes. Luke wants to be Indiana Jones I hate the little cheap all-one-piece kids' costume I've seen, so I found him this hat and jacket: (hopefully, assuming the backorder is filled in a timely manner )

I'm not too worried about the pants (yet) but I have been searching all over for a shirt like this:

So PLEASE keep your eye out for a boys' shirt like this or a pattern that is really similar to this shirt. I am not talented enough to transform Carla's bowling shirt into this so don't even go there Let me know if anyone has any ideas. THANK YOU!!!

He is so stinkin cute! Honestly I think the shirt he has on works! Don't stress yourself on the shirt. For pant I would just get a pair of cargo pants and at least buy me you can get them every where! Especially Old Navy.

Loves Dumbo HAve a Wonderful trip!!!!!!!!


Ok I am in the middle of CarlaC bowling shirt. So far I LOVE it. I ahve had a few miss haps like I got stuck with a pin and realized an hour later I got blood spots all over y nephews version ICK! Thankfully they came out. Then I did my button holes but sewed the placket with the button holes on it wrong! UGH! So I try to rip the placket off ut I had sewed it twice and zigzaged the edges. So I try ripping out one of the button holes since I didn't cut them open yet. OMG they are so hard to rip out! So I go back to the idea of ripping the placket off and this time it comes off easily! So I try to put a new button hole over the one I ripped out most of the way and figured at worst case I make a new placket. Well I am so proud of myself I actually managed to put the button hole back ! Yippee! I sure hope there are no more mishaps!!!!!

 

[Stephres]

She would have appreciated your sympathy as she was laying in the back of he cart sobbing! I'm ok now, but my back still hurts a bit!

Arminda sometimes asks me if she can ride in the cart too! She is getting a bit big for that! Then they want me to get thos ginormous double carts! And, then half the time they don't ride in it anyway, so I end up pushing this huge cart around the store.

I feel for you on the mac and cheese! My kids don't usually appreciate my culinary efforts! Brian usually cooks for us. If I make something,the kids are always shocked if they end up liking it! I don't think I cook that bad, but everyone else has a different opinion!

1) Poor Lydia! Hey, does your wal mart have eeyore fabric? Clutterbug was going to look for me, but she went on vacation.

2) I hate those huge carts! They usually stay in them so I am pushing a giant cart with two big kids in them around the store before I even get the groceries in. I told them they are for toddlers!

3) Funny! We had someone over for dinner and Jacob told them I was a bad cook because I was always cooking things he didn't like! Picky kids!

What a cool party! Megan really likes the big water slide (she kept making me scroll back to it) and I like the cake! DH's best friend is Edmund, it's not a name you hear every day.

Cute petti! And the fabric you got is super cute too! Too bad about someone buying all the rest of the fabric.

That's happened to me too! Just let it cool and you can scrape it off with your fingernail. Your mickey pumpkin is so cute!

It's been a long time since I posted! Our trip went great! All of my neices custom outfits were wonderful! I need to post some pictures of her from the trip in her outfits.

But I also came by to say that we are finalists in a contest to win a trip to Disneyland! If we win, we get to stay in the DL dream suite! You can vote once a day at www.youtube.com/disneyparks. It would be great if the disboutiquers could help us out! I swear to write a trip report with all the details if we win.

Good luck: I hope you win!

Status report: my elbow doesn't hurt much today at all! I am sure she'll find a new way to injure me, though, don't worry!

I am working on Traci's animal kingdom outfit. Then I need to start on Megan's back to school outfit. I only have a week left!

We found out the kids' teachers today. Jacob has a teacher new to the school and he is excited. Megan's teacher is supposed to be very nice and very good for first grade.

Kelli

Wow- I think they turned out awesome! I can't believe you just started Monday! You give me hope that I can pick it up quickly too!

 

[minnie2]

I posted the dress a few days ago but dgd decided to model it.

What a cute model!

here is the outfit sorry the picture is so big

It is great! My brother just had a boy. Oh well i don't think Little Simon woudl appreciate Aunt Marlo making a dress for him when he gets older! Then again my brother refuses to put clothes on him!

Goodness, you'd better keep an eye on that kid! I hear you about the shoes at the soccer field. I see moms wearing flip flops and I cannot get it: I get stepped on by somebody at least once a game! Almost always it's Megan trying to climb in the folding chair with me.

Megan always wants to ride in the cart but I can't lift her to put her in anymore, let alone push it with her in it!

Aw, don't feel bad. I made macaroni and cheese from scratch and no one would eat it, not even my husband! Jacob told me he prefers easy mac, in case I wanted to know for next time. I thought I was making them a special treat!

I admit it I am one of those crazy mom's on the soccer field with flip flops and YES Kyle always manages to step on my feet with his cleats! Problem is I hate socks and aI hate closed in shoes. Which is a real problem i IL in the winter!

I also admit I am not much of a cook. Not a fav thing for me to do.

you all have posted some adorable stuff the past 2 days!!!

I finally finished my Camp Rock outfit!!!

Lori

That is so pretty! My DD loved the JB! Now I wish I could applique that would be a cute 1st day of school outfit for her!

Looks like a fun day at the Water Park! Happy bday to your hubby!
I am jealous of those veggies! I love tomatoes and cucumbers! That is probably the one thing I really miss about living in NJ George's grandmothers tomatoes!

The petti came out great!!!!
The BFF material is so cute! HUM it has got me thinking about something I could make for Nikki and her 2 best friends that are on cheer with her.... I need to focus on the projects i have planned 1st! but al of these cute materials and outfits get my mind racing with ideas!!

wow that party looks like fun .. i am always so envious of water park fun since i have a huge fear of drowning....
and wow look at the size of those tomatoes

Looks good ! i love the girlie fabric this is what i made Jayedyn with mine...

Glad your are feels better!

Ok I can't find anything else to torture you all with and I have insomnia!

Looks like a great time at the WP. And WOW what big tomatoes they veggies look yummy!. We have the same red outift whith the stripes and flowers in blue and red for the twins.

 

[Twins+2more]

Im so embarassed to say, that I forgot my friends name...either crystal or carrie. I think carrie. But anyway Kris's momma I miss you girl ... you haven't wrote in so long. I hope all is well - pm me and I promise not to erase alll of our messages and loose touch again.

 

[HeatherSue]

I tried to read everything I missed and then I gave up. So, if I didn't comment on something it wasn't because I didn't like it!

Just thought I'd share a picture of Nate and his birthday cake. We had his party on Sunday afternoon. It looks like I CASEd Sawyer's birthday party, but Nate had picked it out before I found this board! Great little boy minds think alike I guess!

He looks so cute!! How cool that we made our boys the same shirt for their Buzz birthday party!

Yeah, Heather, we already told her. Keep up, man!

...t.

Well, EXCUUUUUSE me!!!!

I have been lurking here for months and just had to say that y'all are amazing! The outfits you come up with are just too cute!

My children are grown and I don't have any grandkids yet but I do have to admit I steal some of your pics for the little child figures I sculpt from clay. Hope you don't mind.

You guys are GREAT inspiration!
Thank you!

Kelley

Okay, I have to know, are you actually putting our kids faces on these little figures? Or, do you mean you are replicating some of the clothing? We want to see pictures, even if you have to go down into the studio!!

This isnt a disney but I think it came out cute, it has a pair of lt blue leggins
I love this patteren

So cute!! They look even cuter on your model!! The pictures aren't too big at all!!

I would like to do an applique and so I was wondering if you can get the applique foot for most sewing machines or do you need a machine that does embroidery? Mine is a pretty simple machine.. it is a Singer model 1748.

Thanks in advance. You ladies are all very talented! I found this thread a little over a week ago and have been lurking nonstop trying to learn as much as I can! Thank you for all of the inspiration!

You can applique on any machine that will zig-zag. You don't even need an applique foot, but it makes it easier to see what you're doing. some people have fancy embroidery machines that make it a lot easier to applique (maybe not less time consuming, but it makes the appliques turn out perfectly).

Aw, don't feel bad. I made macaroni and cheese from scratch and no one would eat it, not even my husband! Jacob told me he prefers easy mac, in case I wanted to know for next time. I thought I was making them a special treat!

I feel for you! I know if Henry pulls out the ranch dressing and starts pouring it on his food, it is NOT a hit!

i love the jo bro's they are just too cute ...esp that middle child .... RIGHT JHAMMY

I have to agree with my friend Jeanne!!

okay i am also downloading the applique tutorial there is a wealth of info i did not know about on here

You didn't know about my applique tutorial? Am I not "advertising" it enough. Just ask t, she'll tell you that I post links to it too often.

Tell Edmund happy birthday!! What fun to celebrate at a water park! Your tomatoes look a lot bigger than ours! We planted better boys, too. They are really yummy, though! We also have tons of cherry tomatoes.

LOVE the petti!!!!!

I think you're doing great!!! Most of us aren't brave enough to post close-ups of our appliques. I know mine look better from a distance! I think it looks like you've been doing appliques for a long time!

To get the gunk off your iron, iron a dryer sheet (like I did in my turorial).

But I also came by to say that we are finalists in a contest to win a trip to Disneyland! If we win, we get to stay in the DL dream suite! You can vote once a day at www.youtube.com/disneyparks. It would be great if the disboutiquers could help us out! I swear to write a trip report with all the details if we win.

I voted for you! You are so cute!!

Wow- I think they turned out awesome! I can't believe you just started Monday! You give me hope that I can pick it up quickly too!

You can do it!! Have you seen my tutorial? Here's a link: http://disboutique.blogspot.com/2008/04/bestest-applique-tutorial.html

 

[kjbrown]

Here it is! My first applique, the Hello Kitty shirt. The face fabric kind of puckers sometimes and not others. Weird. But I think it looks great, I am very pleased with it. And my first twirl skirt! Used the CarlaC pattern, LOVE it. Making a "Minnie" one for my daughter now. This outfit is actually a gift for another girl, but my DD modeled it for me.

Close up...

And the requisite twirl photo...
