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

[minnie2]

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?

tht is PERFECT Lilo fabric!

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!


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!

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!


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!

I hope you are feeling better! It is no fun when you feel awful.
Thanks about the skirt. I really LOVE these and am thrilled Nikki likes them too. I am debating making one for my 2 yr old niece but we will see I already have an outfit cut out for her and Nikki to match at Chef Mickey's. I just feel so bad I haven't made my nephew anything! Boy's stuff isn't as much fun.
I don't really need the convincing George does! He is being cheap! I have a bunch of things in my wish list on there and I look at them every day but George keeps saying why do you need more patterns I keep showing him how cute the bowling shirt is and he reminds me I made my own pattern and made 3 shirts from it so why d I need another one. He doesn't get it. MEN! Trust me I am still working on him! I just have to wait until he wants to make a purchase and I can say well if you are getting that I am ordering a bunch of stuff from YCMT I know that is so bad but hey we have been together for 19 yrs and it has worked so far

Oh and I have said it before and will say it again I LOVE the book marks!!!!!!!!!! I do have to ask though recently I have found a few that say page cannot be found. When I see that should I pm one of you? I know you work so hard on them I feel awful just leaving them and ignoring them....

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!!

That is great! Love the fur trim!

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!!!

Really cute! Nikki would LOVE that trim! i am now thinking I should make her a fur trimmed dress for MVMCP! Of course that means Kyle would need a new something then since we are going with our best friends and their boys i would want them to have something. hum..... Maybe not!

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!!!! )

She looks so cute in that! It came out great! Kyle would love that. He is such a car person. I swear it is in his blood my dad was all about the cars and my step dad is too and we joke it took my step dad 3 boys then his grandson to get a boy that loves cars like he does. HE tried with Nik but she was too busy admiring Mema's jewelry

Well, I haven't made it onto this thread until now. It's the first thread I haven't posted on. Of course I am kind of quiet and no one noticed me missing.

Things here have been rough. DH graduated from Georgia State University in May. He finally finished his Bachelors degree. But finding a job is really hard. He has been on three interviews and hasn't heard anything final from any of them. I have been sewing things for birthday gifts and using up my stash. For me it takes a lot of courage to give a home made gift but I think everyone has liked what I made.

I took somethings in to a consignment store today. Including some overalls with Halloween Mickey and Minnie appliques on them. They had never been worn. They didn't give me much money for them and now I am really regretting it. They didn't even tell me if they thought they were cute. I did try to sell them last year on but I think it was too close to Halloween.

Thanks for listening.

I am sorry things are so rough! I hope they get better soon. Congrats on DH graduations! That is great!

 

[minnie2]

I love this!! Very cute...and the shirt looks great as well. I need to learn to make these twirl skirts...DD (4) loves them.

Thank you. Surpassingly it isn't rally hard at all just time consuming and tedious. So I usually make this in between other things so I don't get bored or frustrated.

I use the standard overlock thread on the big spools and I use either black or white I just can't justify spending that much on thread fro one outfit.


I scored some great fabric today. None of it was Disney, but it was cute just the same. I got a light weight cord in black with red and green apples. It looks a lot like the michael miller pears posted a while back. Hancock had cordurory on sale. I also got some great christmas fabric at Walmart. They had a really cute 60 '' border print with snowmen and two other fabrics that coordinated with it. I am planning a dress from the border print and a school party outfit for the others. I also got a storybook that is Rudolph. It is scenes from the classic old movie, really cute! it will be storybook skirt. I also got some fall patterns for 99 cents at Hancock.

I saw that apple fabric it is darling! I have a pattern that I posted the other day that Nikki loved that I want to use that brown and bright colored 70's flowered corduroy for. I loved all of that corduroy Hancocks had! I also picked up a few patterns for .99! Love that!

Here is what I did with the applique I posted the other day.

I love the baby stuff. If we have another I will have to make my own bibs!

another great one! I love that Mickey fabric. I have been eying it for awhile.

Ok. The batteries are finally charged enough, so here is the pic of Jenna in her new Ariel outfit. She has not taken it off since the pic was taken. I had to change a couple of things when I made it. I just appliqued a square with Ariel, I added ties to the side because the side was showing too much of Jenna. I told her that since the pants were so long she could wear a long sleeve shirt under it during the cooler months.

IT is adorable! She loves it so much you can just tell!

Wow you ladies are So incredibly talented! I love, love, love all of the outfits!!!!

Am I allowed to post these?
I make these bows for my daughters when we go to WDW and also for my clients, with their own custom color choices.
I make them on a pony elastic, nylon headband (great for babies) or on a clip.

Very cute! Love the bows that people post here! I wish Nikki would still wear them

Jham and Heather.
I will fess up I accidently end up with thread and other sewing supplies in my gorcery cart when I shop at Super Wal Mart too. I am not sure how they get there though. I just wish mine had a fabric department or some cute fabric may have to jump magicly in my cart too

Okay guys. I just found out some exciting news. I am going to try and not share it with my DH until Disney ... but I am going to being sewing for another baby in April!!! We were pregnant in March but I miscarried. We were planning on trying again in Oct after the Disney trip - but I guess things happen when you aren't expecting it! I am wanting to tell my DH in Disney, does anyone have any good ideas??

Congrats! thats's wonderful news! Hope you are feeling well!

It's a NEW LOOK pattern, I think that's Walmart, right? #6693 - an "easy" "kids!" pattern.

Really pretty! Might have to go check out WalleyWorld today!

I hope this is cool enough for an 11 year old.

Was SOOOO going to ask you to make me one until you asked if it was cool enough for an 11 year old I'm 11 (plus 20 ) and I LOVE it

HELP!!!! I am Shirring the back of Katies Back to School top and I cant figure it out on my Brother CS6000i Yeah, and the first day is tomorrow.

First day of school is TOMORROW???? Sorry, I still think that sounds so funny. Kids here don't get out til the last week of June and don't go back til Labor Day!

[/IMG]

Oh Alice is my favorite too!

front.

Oh that is so cute. Makes me wish DD was going to school this year!

Oh that would be really pretty for Alice!

 

[minnie2]

I simply it!! Would you mind horribly if I CASE it, just for my baby?

Congratulations! I have no clue how you can hold out to tell you DH! I couldn't. With Kyle I couldn't even wait until he got home from work that day and he didn't have a phone at his desk so I emailed him Part of me regrets it now but I couldn't stand the wait. I know I have mentioned before that I am a tad impatient???? Congratulations again!

Yes!! I laughed so hard when I read this! Totally me too.

Anyway, here is the pooh dress I made. Someone asked about the pattern so she could make a Belle dress. Sorry, I don't remember who. Geez, it's just like the families in my neighborhood - I remember all the kids names, but not the parent's names. I remember what pattern she wanted, what dress she wanted to make, but not who wanted it!!


It's a NEW LOOK pattern, I think that's Walmart, right? #6693 - an "easy" "kids!" pattern.

So four new dresses for my daughter this week. It's like I exploded! She got to wear a new dress every day this week. Now, on to the bowling shirt for my son, and a quilt for my son. I made a quilt for my daughter before she was born. My son just turned two ... Guess I better get crackin'!

CUTE!

Thanks to Heather, I finally got this done for one of the MAW families. She helped with the design and insisted that I model it when I was finished (but no twirling). Now, the burning question is, should I try to do the bucket hat on ycmt before I have to send it out tomorrow? I'm not sure I have time, but would it be too busy? I have squares left over so I am leaning towards yes, but not sure about the time thing.

I hope this is cool enough for an 11 year old.


Forget the 11 yr old I would wear it! It is great!

I've done some letters with my cricut. I just put the fusible on the back of the fabric before I cut and then just ironed right onto the t-shirt!

What a cute idea!

I have been meaning to post some of my Disney bows. I started making bows when my DD started needing them Why buy when you can make! So here are some I have done.

Here is how you know you have lost it! The red and white one, the mickey in the middle is cut out of my old Disney Visa


Here are some ponytail holders.

I made the Tink one to match her swim suit for her birthday party at the pool.



Once I finish sewing I hope to make matching bows for her outfits before the trip.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and encouragement!

Love the bows!
LOL I had that disney visa! I just changed it to Tink!

Here's what I finally got finished up today. I've been working on them on and off for more than a month! These are more of my "use the stash" projects. I think they came out really cute... if I say so myself.

I also got the top done for the quilt I'm making as a gift for my niece and her DH (well, actually for the baby but he's not born yet). I was up way too late last night trying to get it done. I'm not totally sure if I like it but I'm warming up to it. I'm off now to get the layers pin basted so it's ready to quilt (by machine) tomorrow.

I am going to be different and say Minnie is my fav!

I am done with the outfit now I have to decorate some flip flops, I have red tulle, Yellow 1 in. grosgain and black satin ribbon. Now I need some inspiration
Here are a few pics of the back to school outfit.
the back


Maddy in her umm, dress thats not done yet( ignore the dirty face it was before bath time)

Twirling!!!!!

I will try and get some good pics tomorrow before school.

Very very cute!

Some of you know Nikki is a cheerleader and I am one of her coaches. We have JR coaches that do the hard work. us mom coaches just sit around trying to be cute Any way. A few moms have bags that say Cheer mom on it does any one know where or have seen iron on appliques that relate to cheer? I haven't seen many appliques at my stores here. Now I really want a cheer bag! And I haven't had the courage to figure out my embroidery machine yet!

 

[Stephres]

These two are my favorites. I just love the fabric you use for the pants. I can't wait to see the quilt.

Megan said those are cute back to school outfits. You did a great job!

FYI - If you'd like to check out this print for yourself, the line is from Free Spirit and it's called Jane's Paradise Garden. The designer, Jane Sassaman, has done several lines with similar prints. I love this print from the Butterfly Garden line and think it would be perfect for an Alice set, too.

I really appreciate how generous you are with information with us. I have been lusting after that fabric since the first snow white outfit. Thanks for the info!

That would be perfect for an Alice set!

I think an 11 year old will love it! I love it. I want those shorts!

Thank you!

Was SOOOO going to ask you to make me one until you asked if it was cool enough for an 11 year old I'm 11 (plus 20 ) and I LOVE it

I was thinking myself how cute mother/daughter shorts would be! I really like the fabrics but I can't think about sewing more squares together! Thank you!

I have seen cheer iron-on stuff at JoAnn's. I think I remember seeing letters, numbers and cheer stuff and even iron on crystals.

HUM my Joann's must stink because I looked there the other day Maybe a little closer to school they will have them.

great bows. LOL with the credit card. You know your crafty if you recycle a credit card . Anyhoo, how easy/difficult were the cupcake pops. THey look great. I love bakerella!

The minnie is my favorite. All the things you do amaze me more and more each time I look at them...way to go girl!

 

[kjbrown]

It was me! I don't remember names either, so don't sweat it. I was thinking of taking CarlaC's jumper and trying to put darts in it, but this already has them and it comes in bigger sizes!

It's so cute, and I love the Pooh dress too (that lace trim is so sweet). Thanks so much!

I really loved the lace trim. It seemed to make the dress look much fancier than the work it took to add it, if that makes sense. Plus, this one has the underskirt, the others did not (I'm too lazy).

I've done some letters with my cricut. I just put the fusible on the back of the fabric before I cut and then just ironed right onto the t-shirt!

OMG, I now officially have to get a cricut! Scrapbooking AND fabric?!?!

Hmm, Dallas will be 6 in December and I started his sesame street quilt before he turned 3, so you still haven't quite caught up with me!

I feel so bad for second or third (or later) kids. Seriously, there were like a BAZILLION pics of my daughter and maybe 10 of my son the first few months of his life. Poor kid.

Seriously, you are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We made a dress with that pattern and I laughed when you said "easy"! That was one mom did most of! It does come out really pretty through!

Did I say easy? The package said easy. It wasn't that bad in relative terms. Like relative to the double wedding ring quilt I once made with all of those curved pieces. Or like applique. Those pleats seemed like they would never end though!

 

[ncmomof2]

great bows. LOL with the credit card. You know your crafty if you recycle a credit card . Anyhoo, how easy/difficult were the cupcake pops. THey look great. I love bakerella!

The cupcake pops are not difficult, but time consuming. I recommend that you have some help when dipping the "icing" on the cupcake. my hubby helped twirl them drip so they did not drip. For the adults I just dipped them in chocolate which is very easy and quick.

 

[ncmomof2]

These are all amazing! I can't pick a favorite because I love them all.

 

[SallyfromDE]

Wow you ladies are So incredibly talented! I love, love, love all of the outfits!!!!

I make these bows for my daughters when we go to WDW and also for my clients, with their own custom color choices.
I make them on a pony elastic, nylon headband (great for babies) or on a clip.

I wish I had the patience to make bows. I've tried, and just can't do it.

I simply it!! Would you mind horribly if I CASE it, just for my baby?

Okay guys. I just found out some exciting news. I am going to try and not share it with my DH until Disney ... but I am going to being sewing for another baby in April!!!

I am wanting to tell my DH in Disney, does anyone have any good ideas??

Isn't that outfit already a case? Can you case a case? I broke down and bought the fabric with no clue what to do with it.

Congrats on the Baby! My sister tried for #2 for 8 years. They gave up and along came Lexi.

Yes!! I laughed so hard when I read this! Totally me too.

I'd wear it! A hat would be cool. Aren't they reversable? If they think it's too busy, they could flip it over. If you are worried about busy, you should see the shirt and skirt I made the kids! For the shirt, I pretty much made my own fabric. I patched squares of scraps together to come up with patchwork.

I took out my bobbin and tightened up the elastic and tried again and presto it worked now I am finishing the flutter sleeves and I will post a pic when it's all done!

I think I was also stressed since I have to have it done tonight. I origionally made another top to go with the skirt but didnt like it so I drew out another design and here we are.

I foudn I had to hand wind the bobbin.

 

[SallyfromDE]

I'm looking for Princess cameos. Like Jasmine, Cindy, Ariel. I need them for the girls dresses for the trip but I can't find anything anywhere. Has anyone ever seen anything even similar?

I try to save buttons off of anything we get rid of. Can you make your own? Use the covered buttons and put a peice of your fabric in. Or even do some Iron on of a clipart, and then use that fabric.

[Jen117]

Lisa - Where do you get your pictures from? They are such nice face shots and I haven't found any that are this clean. I did do a simple Minnie face, but I really want to do a Snow White for DD5 as that is her favorite.

 

[kpgriffin]

This are so beutiful...as usual. I have printed them for my inspiration file and realized that I need a special file just for lisazoe designs. You are so talented.

 

[kpgriffin]

Love all the outfits, esp. Stephanie's MAW outfit and the back to school dresses. I have been reading the MAW PTR and it is so much fun to see everyone's excitement when they get their outfits.

 

[HeatherSue]

Just because I know you have all been sitting in anxious anticipation (yes, that is dripping with sarcasm)...

I UPDATED MY TRIP REPORT- AGAIN!

In this, installment number 30, I meet another Disboutiquer- Krispy!! Where are you, Krispy? I haven't seen you lately?

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

Happy belated birthday! Your appliqué looks great. It looks like the perfect nascar shirt. Megan likes Jimmie Johnson, so I'd better not let her see this or she will want one!

Thanks! And see I knew I liked Megan. Jimmie is my boy all the way!!!! She could relish in the fact that my DH bought me a Championship ring for 2006 and a necklace for 2007. Okay...this may be where I need to admit, I worked for Lowe's the past 18 years...anybody want to guess where DH works? I met him there! DH met Jimmie and Chad this last year out in Vegas. Not fair!

BTW...i'll probably have to have me a shirt too! Gotta make the boys' next.
