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

[Cheeseball]

Wow, you girls move so fast! We had a rough week or so around here, and I fell behind on the thread, and now I have 130 pages to catch up on!!

My husband and girls got sick with colds, then my oldest dd hyperextended her foot and ended up in the ER (she's ok now), then I had my 2 bottom wisdom teeth extracted and since I have TMJ, I've been in a world of pain before and after the extraction. I'm finally feeling better, although the wisdom teeth had cracked the molars next to them and they still hurt some. I have to have all this dental work done before Disney, that's for sure!

So anyway, I've been busy sewing to pass the time while everyone was on the road to recovery. I wanted to share a couple of outfits I've finished.

This is my oldest's outfit for when we go to AKL and eat at Boma (little sister will be getting a Zebra outfit too! I just ran out of material!)

Here is Belle's pirate outfit, she has been so excited about this one! At first it was a corset and skirt with a white shirt, but it was not flattering to her at all, so I tore it apart and made it into a dress. It will be cooler for the summer heat anyway. I found some coin ribbon to embelish it at Hancock's Fabric.

We picked up this hat at Hobby Lobby for $3 and I sewed on the ears, the red Mickey Material, the skull & bones and one of the coins that matches her dress.

Here is her Hannah Montana outfit. I got the idea for the guitar from the Disboutiquers Photobucket account, my daughter loves it! She "plays" guitar on her shirt!

The pants to this outfit that I had made were too hot for when we go, so I made a skirt to match the top.

That's all I have for now! I look forward to catching up on the thread as much as I can and see what you've all been up to!

Editing to add in these pictures that I forgot-

I made Belle a Wall-E shirt and she and her Daddy went to see the movie and loved it!

Sorry the quality is so poor, I don't know what happened!

And this is my very first bow, made to match her Wall-E shirt

It turned out ok, but now I realize what kind of ribbon to use and what not to use! :lol:

 

[Tinka_Belle]

Wow, these are fantastic! I love the AK one! You did a fantastic job on the Spongebob one too, but I cannot stand SpongeBob! I know that is kind of sacreligious to say, but that show drives me crazy and of course both of my girls love it! I am definitely not showing them that outfit!





We are all here to listen (read really) so vent away.

I don't like SB either. I really hate it when he laughs, but Jenna loves it. kids!!!!

Awesome!!!! I love the pirate hat. I paid $13 (I think) for a pink pirate hat in WDW. I wish I would have been able to make one before we left.



I want to thank everyone for thier support while things are stressful here. DH and I had a long discussion and I think that he came to realize some things especially when I pointed out to him that I have not had a day off for the last couple of months or so. Maybe things will change.

[Flea]

OMG YAY I found you all I'm loving all the pics - now I need to go back over 50 pages and see what I'm missing hehe

BillWendy I did see your fabric shopping - How cool. Yay for finding some of that Mickey dot fabric (so jealous )

I'm soooooooo far behind I feel all lost now hehe. We no longer have the laptop so I don't get much computer time but the good thing is I've been doing lots of sewing and knitting so I'll have to show you all when I get a chance to upload stuff - I'll post some pics of what is in my photobucket (mostly knitting I think)


This is a funky scarf I knit myself - it buttons up and is sort of like a collar. I love that it is different (excuse the pic of me it was a self portrait )

A tiny nb hat for a friend - I thought this one was appropriate for the disboutiquers thread as the pattern is called Lilly

This is a "Scoodie" hooded scarf for my girls from the tutorial on indietutes blog

A bag for my lil sisters birthday

oooooh and I got some fabric the other day. I love Michael Miller and I'm hoping to disneyfy these fabrics by teaming with some disney fabrics I'm having sent to me by a lovely diser Exciting

Keep up the good work ladies - you always keep me inspired

 

[minnie2]

Okay, here's my house when I bought it 4 years ago. Lookout, photobucket is being really fast and cooperative today so lots of pictures! My apologies in advance if you like some of the stuff I may criticize or make fun of. I'm just saying it was NOT decorated in my tastes.

Great house! My mom had that same wall paper in her kitchen!!!!!!

Big Give sets!!!

Minnie AK set - still needs a bow!!

SpongeBob set. This is not from me!!!! This is from Emily. It was her idea and it's what she helped me with last night. (I should have let her help with the skirt instead of the tank!!) Poor SpongeBob's nose and cheeks are a little wonky!! I couldn't see what I was doing with her on my lap!! Oh well, just gives it more character!

I think SB came out perfect! I love them both! I guess now I have to figure out how to make a stripwork skirt! I

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the difference between the 2 different peasant patterns on YCMT one is by Dainty Designs and the other by Carla C. I want to buy the Carla C one but I want to be able to make just a shirt with ruffles at the very bottom like a Pooh one I saw in the I made this. Also what would be the difference between those and the store bought patterns. I know the YCMT are easier but I am on such a horrible budget. The ones at Joanns goes on sale for so much less just not sure I can afford the YCMT patterns.

Thank you so much,
Valerie

I hear you on the cost of the YCMT patterns. I love them though. If you are looking for a peasant blouse pattern if you look in the book marks I think there is one. I was thinking about trying in. Right now I have a some skirts I need to make though...

I love everyone's pictures of their homes. Here in the UK we are big on boxes that all look the same and none of the wonderful uniqueness you guys have.

I've been in a bit a sewing lull so I decided to attack my pile of ideas with full gusto.....only to be defeated. My machine keeps pulling the fabric into the dog feed and jamming up. I'm sewing the final hem which is quite narrow but I'm stumped. I've tried a new needle and have now taken the cover off and will give it a good vacuum in the morning. Im off to bed and will try again in the morning (its almost 10:00 here before you think I'm taking my afternoon naps a bit too seriously )

I LOVE the homes in the UK. I have family in Scotland and their home is tiny and no frills but it has such history. We spent 3 weeks there a few yrs ago. Ok may yrs ago Any way I simply love it over there.

Sorry about the machine I hoe you can figure out what is wrong with it.

I don't use a pattern for my skirts. But YCMT has a few good skirt patterns - I'm guessing the stripwork twirl would be the closest to my AK skirt and the double ruffle pattern would be similar to SpongeBob. I can PM you how I did the skirts if you want.
The CarlaC pattern is better by far. I bought the Dainty Designs pattern first, and was never really happy with the pattern. You can modify the CarlaC pattern and make a top instead of a dress. Here's a few things I've made using that pattern...

This was obviously around Christmas!!

If you are going to be using the pattern more than a few times, I'd go with YCMT. I prefer them to the commerical patterns. They come with more detailed instructions and PICTURES!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Pm me too! I love those skirts! Great pics! too. Love seeing Christmas pics in July

Ok, I made my Big Give #3 skirt today using this tutorial but i feel like its not twirly or young enough for a 9year old. What do you think? Should I just make a new one and keep this one for myself?

[[sorry i look like a mess]]

you and I must think alike because I cute out the pieaces for that skirt for my 8 yr old then realized her best friend has a bday coming up and decided to cute 2 more of them out to make her and Nikki matching skirts! So now i have 3 of those skirts cut out and I need to at least finish 1 today!

Yours came out GREAT! You certainly don't look a mess!

As far as not enough twirl factor it depends on how big the girl is. Nikki is tiny so I am hoping she gets some good twirl with it if not it is still a really cute skirt. Looking at it on you almost makes me want to make one for me though!

So I am no help to you as to what to do! It looks great so if you want to keep it then go for it and if not I am sure the little girl will love it!

My errands have for the day have been run. At the end of the day I am so worn out. All I want to do right now is sleep. I have come to the conclusion that I need to eliminate some of the things that I am currently obligated to. I have decided that even though the extra money is nice to have the extra stress is not. I am going to quit my job at Dairy Queen decorating cakes. My grandparents have come to rely on me for things that they need help with and I would rather be around to help them. Nobody else will help them with what they need and that's just not fair to them. DH has promised too many times that he is going to find a second job and he just won't do it which puts the financial burden on me. It's just not fair to me. Maybe with me quitting this job he will realize that he needs to find a second one. At the end of the week I end up with no time off. He gets two days off a week and he does absolutely nothing. I may have to eliminate the stress of him before too long. Thanks for letting me vent.

Well I just wanted to let you guys know that I have been inspried by you guys! You are all so absolutly amazing, and I can only dream of being half as talented as you all are!! I have decided to take up sewing!! I have bought a very easy pattern and some cheap fabric to use. The fabric is really nice actually so if it all turns out, DD will have a cute dress!!

I really hope to be able to make DD a couple of Disney themed outfits by the time our vacay rolls around...not too sure about that though!! So far I have sewed on an applique of Wall E to a bucket hat and we have the tie dyed Mickey Head t shirts sitting with the dye on them as I type.

So once again a huge THANK YOU to everyone for being such an ispiration to me!!!

Welcome! That is how they got me. i stumbles upon this thread and fell in love with all of their great stuff and every one is so wonderful so I jumped in! Now I LOVE sewing! I can't wait to see what you have made.

 

[minnie2]

I made something tonight!!!! I made two bowls, but one of them is really awfull so I won't show ya'll that one.
This is Amber holding my bead bowl.

I'm gonna make some more for Jenna's birthday next month. I'm going to make them in other sizes to hold chips and dip and stuff. I'm even going to try to make a few plates for hotdogs and stuff like that.

Very cool!

Welcome to thread #7! Wow, you are one gorgeous lady! I love your funky scarf, how cool! The little tiny Lilly hat is adorable! Love the purse for your sister and the headscarf thingy is really cute!


I was curious if the name Lily was only popular on our little thread. Turns out it's not just us! It ranked #27 in popularity last year in the US, and has been in the top 100 baby names since 2002. I love this website to find out the popularity of baby names and the top 10 baby names each year. It's an official count from the social security office.

http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/

Of course I had to check my kid's names, too. Tessa was #280 the year she was born and Sawyer was #247 in 2006. Then, I checked Teresa's kids. Lydia was #137 in 2002, Corey was #65 in '92, and Arminda was not in the top 1000 baby names- ever! What fun (for me, at least)! ETA: Wait! The last time Arminda made the charts, it was ranked #637 in 1886! I'd like to see someone top that name in uniqueness, without having completely made the name up, or just changing the spelling!

Heather was #4 in 1974. No wonder there are so many Heathers the same age as me!

Lily is an extremely popular name here in Boston. I know tons of them. Aisling's name didn't make the list either. Yay for Arminda and Aisling for having names that people will never get right!!!

 

[Cheeseball]

Thanks for the compliments everyone! I love the pirate hat too, and it saved us quite a few $$$!

What pattern did you use for the top?

No pattern, I just cut out the top and shaped it, then two long strips of zebra material and ruffled them on. It has elastic across the back and I tied a couple of zebra strips for the straps. Then I appliqued a piece of zebra material for the Minnie head. It was my first applique, and took forever!

Heather was #4 in 1974. No wonder there are so many Heathers the same age as me!

Shockingly I thought my name would be right there with arminda's but back in 1968 my name (marlo ) actually made it way up to 397!

Nicole's made it to #6 back in 1982 and this yr she is 87 the yr she was born she was 25.

Kyle is ranked 86 the yr he was born it was 40 they highest it every got was 18 back in 1990.

DH name George is popular made it to #4 but is currently at 147

My nephew Chetan is no where to be found! it tells me it has not been listed in the top 1000 names in the past 200 yrs! Yeah kind of knew that one! It is a good thing he is adorable because with that name he is gonna get picked on I promise his name isn't made up it is a family name of the father!
His sister Anya is actually at 366 I was expecting her name to be non existent like his.

Last one because I know I am boring you but I love these kinds of sites too.
My brand spanking new nephew not even a week old
Simon George is actually at 258.

Oh and I was supposed to be a Heather but for some reason my parents went with Marlo?!?!?! So I am Marlo Theresa! I guess I could have been Heather Theresa?!?!? How odd would THAT have been on this board. LOL

 

[disneylovinfamily]

Russell was 404 in 2006 (when he was born) and Roseanna has not been in the top 1000 since 1983 and it was ranked 912.

I checked mine too. Nicole was numer 7 in 1980 and my husband, Mark was number 30 in 1979. I would think it would have been more popular than that. This site is so cool.

Really??? I would have thought Roseanna would have been on there???? I also would have sworn Russell would have been higher.

 

[HeatherSue]

If you want to use a pattern, the Simply Sweet halter dress on ycmt looks just like that.

Lily is an extremely popular name here in Boston. I know tons of them. Aisling's name didn't make the list either. Yay for Arminda and Aisling for having names that people will never get right!!!

Woo-hoo! Poor Arminda, people are forever repeating her name back to her as "Amanda". Then, she has to repeat her name over and over. But, I love her name! It was my grandpa's mother's name. They called her Minnie, though (very Disney)

Shockingly I thought my name would be right there with arminda's but back in 1968 my name (marlo ) actually made it way up to 397!

I don't know if I want to ask this, but how do you pronounce Chetan? I know how I'm saying it in my head and I'm hoping I'm saying it wrong. Anya is a very popular Russian name. I love it! That would have been so cool if your name was Heather Theresa! I would have been Shannon if I was a boy. I'm SOOO glad that didn't happen!

I didn't know your name was Marlo! Cool! I didn't have any other Heathers in my class in school, but now that I'm an adult, there are Heathers popping out of the woodwork!

Wow, I thought Roseanna, or at least Roseanne, would have been more popular, too! I bet it was up there in the top 1000 in 1983 because of that song "Roseanna, Roseanna"!

I'm glad you're all having fun with this site, too!

I just looked up Emily and it has been the #1 most popular baby name since 1996 and in the top 10 since 1992! I'm not surprised! At one point, we had 3girls in the day care named Emily (and we only had 10 kids)! We had LOTS of Jacobs, too. It's no wonder, they're cute names!

Here is Irelands Toy Story outfit for the cruise. She is waiting for the red hat that I bought her to get here, and I have added detail to the cuffs since the photo.. the belt isn't finished, I'm putting velcro on the back, so it will be adjustable...

And a close up of the hidden Mickey on the leg...

Oh my gosh, how cute!! Tessa has been saying she wants to be Jessie for Halloween and that's exactly what I had in mind! Tessa immediately stuck out her tongue and started panting when she saw it. I think that means she likes it. SOO cute!

Amber is one of the girls that I babysit. She is the oldest.

I would love to tell you how I did it, however I purchased a tutorial from YCMT.com and I don't think it would be fair to the author to divulge the secrets. I hope that you understand where I am coming from. I'm not trying to be mean or anything. On the plus side the pattern was only $5 and the author is very happy to assist with any problems that may occur during the process.

No I totally understand. I wouldn't expect you to do that AT ALL. I just thought it was something that you did on your own. Off to check it out.

Wow, you girls move so fast! We had a rough week or so around here, and I fell behind on the thread, and now I have 130 pages to catch up on!!

My husband and girls got sick with colds, then my oldest dd hyperextended her foot and ended up in the ER (she's ok now), then I had my 2 bottom wisdom teeth extracted and since I have TMJ, I've been in a world of pain before and after the extraction. I'm finally feeling better, although the wisdom teeth had cracked the molars next to them and they still hurt some. I have to have all this dental work done before Disney, that's for sure!

So anyway, I've been busy sewing to pass the time while everyone was on the road to recovery. I wanted to share a couple of outfits I've finished.

This is my oldest's outfit for when we go to AKL and eat at Boma (little sister will be getting a Zebra outfit too! I just ran out of material!)

We picked up this hat at Hobby Lobby for $3 and I sewed on the ears, the red Mickey Material, the skull & bones and one of the coins that matches her dress.

Here is her Hannah Montana outfit. I got the idea for the guitar from the Disboutiquers Photobucket account, my daughter loves it! She "plays" guitar on her shirt!

That's all I have for now! I look forward to catching up on the thread as much as I can and see what you've all been up to!


It turned out ok, but now I realize what kind of ribbon to use and what not to use! :lol:

Cute stuff! I really love the guitar. I have got to get Jham to post close ups of the boy one she did. Jackson would love that.

OMG YAY I found you all I'm loving all the pics - now I need to go back over 50 pages and see what I'm missing hehe

BillWendy I did see your fabric shopping - How cool. Yay for finding some of that Mickey dot fabric (so jealous )

I'm soooooooo far behind I feel all lost now hehe. We no longer have the laptop so I don't get much computer time but the good thing is I've been doing lots of sewing and knitting so I'll have to show you all when I get a chance to upload stuff - I'll post some pics of what is in my photobucket (mostly knitting I think)

A tiny nb hat for a friend - I thought this one was appropriate for the disboutiquers thread as the pattern is called Lilly

This is a "Scoodie" hooded scarf for my girls from the tutorial on indietutes blog

oooooh and I got some fabric the other day. I love Michael Miller and I'm hoping to disneyfy these fabrics by teaming with some disney fabrics I'm having sent to me by a lovely diser Exciting

Keep up the good work ladies - you always keep me inspired

Pretty, pretty. I especially love the teeny hat. I miss knitting, but I just don't have time for it anymore. The fabric is so beautiful. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Here is Irelands Toy Story outfit for the cruise. She is waiting for the red hat that I bought her to get here, and I have added detail to the cuffs since the photo.. the belt isn't finished, I'm putting velcro on the back, so it will be adjustable...

And a close up of the hidden Mickey on the leg...

Jackson must not see this. He has this grand idea that we are going as Toy Story characters for halloween. Cooper wants to be woody, they want me to be jessie, and jackson wants to be. . .wait for it. . .bullseye I really don't want to make all those costumes. Yours came out GREAT!

Oh my gosh, how cute!! Tessa has been saying she wants to be Jessie for Halloween and that's exactly what I had in mind! Tessa immediately stuck out her tongue and started panting when she saw it. I think that means she likes it. SOO cute!

I thought Alexis was the only one with the tongue out, dog panting thing... I had no idea that other kids did this..

Nope, Jackson does the dog panting thing when he loves or wants stuff. No idea where it came from. Cooper is starting to copy him too. Glad to know I don't have the only weirdo.
