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

[Tinka_Belle]

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...

That is so cute. I love how those skirts look so full even though they have nothing under them.

To the person who made the Mickey-o-lantern I think it turned out really cute.

hahahaha that would be cute on you!!! only on a trip to disney, no starbucks in the jo bro's!
Lori

What!!! NO starbucks in my Jo Bro's

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

Kelli

wow i think they look great ! keep practicing and soon you will be a pro..

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.

How awesome ! i will vote for you although i am extremely Jealous... Good Luck

GOOD MORNING!!! Last night I sat down at my machine and practiced appliqueing for about 15 minutes. I really needed the tutorials w/ me. I need to print them out today so I can practice tonight while DH is at poker.

I just praciced w/ randomly cut shapes and scraps, and it didn't go too badly. BUT it would have been better w/ some guidance. I HAVE got to get my applique done for our FIRST BIG GIVE for Isabelle, they are leaving soon and I haven't got Isabelle's friends around the world dress done cause I'm askeered to do the applique. I don't want to sew the bodice together until it's done either so I have a bunch of fabric pieced and no dress. I will practice some more tonight and get the dress finished this week Then I can move onto our projects for WDW Maybe I can pay one of the girls at the local quilt shop to applique the little girl on Isabelles dress

Morning! I heard Heather has a great tutorial!!!! Though she is far to shy to mention it!!!!

 

[billwendy]

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

This is so cute - I may have missed this, is it an applique, pillowcase, fabric you got someplace?????? I'd love this for Hannah who is fab five crazy right now!!!!

I have an extra Little Mermaid fabric storybook kit that I got on clearance for $5 if anyone would like to buy it - my Elizabeth decided she likes all the princesses together, not just Ariel in a skirt - lol - so I wont be needing this and I cant find the receipt!!!!

I finally finished the crabby outfits and we are at the beach right now!! I think they turned out pretty good. Hannahs pants need to be rolled a few times cause they are long, but Elizabeth and Tim's fit fine.

And I had posted these birthday outfits before, but I finally had all my girls together!!!

I actually brought my sewing machine with me to the beach house - our company is gone, so I think I"ll get it out tonight~~~

 

[Stephres]

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!

Oh you daredevil mom you! No, I am in the minority with my sneakers so I know that I am the odd mom out.

Thanks for the heads up. Last time I looked on ebay I couldn't find any that was just eeyore, no pooh and friends. I'll check again.

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!

Ha! Tom does that with the red pepper flakes. Somehow, if it hotter it is better!

Megan says it is cute, but next time make Hello Kitty's nose yellow. Picky kid!

I think it looks great and love the twirl factor. Great job!

Where does B play poker? Tom plays at the race track, so I was just wondering.

Poor timid Heather! Won't anyone look at her applique tutorial?

those crabby outfits are adorable ....cute b-day outfits ..
I am jealous i would love to be sewing at a Beach house... listening to the waves...



I think my mood today is jealousy I have said it 4 x's this morning

 

[kjbrown]

WOW!! That's your first applique!! That's is fabulous!! Great job!! Your little model is beautiful, too!

I used YOUR tutorial!

Megan says it is cute, but next time make Hello Kitty's nose yellow. Picky kid!

I think it looks great and love the twirl factor. Great job!

Ah, that makes sense now that you say it (the yellow nose), but the image I got from google did not have a yellow nose. That might have been easier than the outline. I had a hard time with the eyes though, they were wider than my machine's widest stitch!

I love that! If Lily ever discovers Hello Kitty, I may have to CASE that!

Fantastic, Wendy!! Your sewing keeps getting better and better. I especially love the crab outfits!

All the girls and the outfits are so cute. It is very hard with only a 5 yr boy who destroys everything he wears. I might try a few things for myself after I get the costume done.

Mrs. Miller I will PM you in just a few minutes. I need to go back and read the forum as I had been at work for a few days and need to get going again.

 

[iheartdisney]

OK...question for those with boys...
I really wanted to make the kids some Little Einstien outfits for our day at MGM. (since the fabric is on sale saturday at Hancock)
I got some cute patterns for the girls, but at a loss for my boy. I can't applique (yet, its on the list of things to figure out). So other than a collared shirt, what can I make for my son?!?
(Poor boy, the girls get all the cute stuff!)

Morning! I heard Heather has a great tutorial!!!! Though she is far to shy to mention it!!!!

WHAT???? HEATHER HAS AN APPLIQUE TUTORIAL? Nobody ever tells me anything around here!!!
I suppose I would find that in the BOOKMARKS ON PAGE 1 (OR FOLLOW THE LINK IN EITHER HEATHERSUE OR TERESAJOY'S SIGGYS)
hmmmm...ya learn somethin' new every day

...t.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Guess what I found on the very first page. A link to resources and in the link is one for a Pocahontas costume dress.

I think Mrs. Miller's is by far better but I had to laugh after hours of trying different things, there is a simple dress right there.

I have been way too on-topic lately, so here are WAY too many Sawyers and Tessas.

I "borrowed" (okay, I stole it for a few days) my dad's camera and took some pictures of the kids out in the yard.

Here's an example of what most of them looked like!

But, I also got a few of these.

These were taken later that day when they were outside playing with Daddy.

Our garden. This is our first garden and we tried to cram way too much stuff in a little spot!

Okay, I'm almost done, I promise! My dad bought this little house for $50 at WalMart (for the grandkids, this is next door at their house) and Sawyer was "helping" him put it together.

CarlaC has a great pattern to make t-shirts, "faux" layered t's, or reconstruct t-shirts. It would be great for boys! It's called All the Rage Raglans on youcanmakethis.com

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Wow. This one could be a professional photograph! I put some pics that I took with my new DSLR on my PTR (hint, hint!)

 

[mytwotinks]

Well ladies! School has started!!!! I just dropped the girls off at their first day and then met a friend for coffee to celebrate! I am a little sad that summer is over though. It was so crazy with all of our doctors appts. and tests at the hospital for Riley, but I can't really complain because we were able to make it to most of the major things that we had wanted to do. It does seem to have slipped away though and now we are headed into the "structure" of the school year.

I can't get the pictures off of my memory stick, but you'll have to see the "beautiful" (horribly tacky) outfit that Drew picked to wear for her first day. It is from limited too and it horribly tacky with faux necklaces and jewels all over the front. It is very DREW!

Riley was so funny this year. I guess fifth graders are too cool for new lunch boxes! I wasn't trying to talk her into a character or anything, but I thought that she would at least want a fresh new little cooler looking one like she has been using, but no go! She wanted to use her same lunch box and her same backpack. She also talked to her friends about what they would wear and the general consensus was a jean skirt and t-shirt. They didn't want to look like they were trying too hard!

Girls are so funny!!! Maybe now that they are off at school for a few hours a day being "funny" for other people, I'll have time to keep caught up here and maybe even if I go crazy I can get some sewing done!

Ok I left them original size because they are so cute! I LOVE all of them!
Loved the silly faces, Love the ones of them together That one of Henry and Sawyer is too sweet! Then I love the one of Sawyer helping out grandpa! Kyle loves to get his tools out and help Pa! You would think I would have a picture of it. A few yrs ago when MeMa and Pa came to visit for Christmas. Mema, Nikki and I went shopping and Kyle wanted to go help Pa instal our new pedistal sink in the bathroom. I wish George was on top of it and took picutres of that because I heard he stayed with Pa the whole time handing him tools and helping him. Kyle now says HE put in the sink!
