Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes Part 2

[lil_ragamuffins]

You all are so creative! I have the vision, just do not have the talent or the skill to sew. Do you sell your creations or do you buy them? I would love information.

We do both!

My DS just turned one today!!!! We will be having his party this weekend also. I shouldn't be wasting my time hanging out on the DIS, I have plenty of cleaning and party preparations to take care of. I am seriously addicted though and can't go to bed without catching up for the day! If I don't catch up for the day then I could be 20 or 30 pages down by the next day!!!!

My goodness, it sounds like a lot of us had our babies at the same general time. Lets see your son turned one today. There's two more first birthdays on Friday, then my baby girl's birthday is a week from Friday! Happy birthday everyone!!

i've been brainstoming a ariel top for dd6. i have a plain white singlet top (the same kind as the one i used for the strawberry shortcake top, i brought a heap of them because they were reduced to $2 as it is winter here) i would like to do ariels whole body with her face on the front but her body continues around one side of dd to finish with her fins on her back. does that make sense?


melissa.

That Ariel outfit sounds adorable! I love the idea of her wrapping around to the back! Post pics when you make it! I'd love to see it!

 

[TravelinGal]

Well, I don't know why I stopped getting the notices - but it's going to take me a while to catch up - so, sorry if I miss anyone...

I was one of the original designers on the DISigns board for t-shirts, but I burned out on that. I see lots of familiar faces from there! I always make us matching t-shirts for our trips, and we get so much attention. For Sept maybe I should try to make a couple of boutique outfits for DD and matching t-shirts for my boys?

I think this would be perfect for a creative outlet. I have a sewing machine in my basement, but I haven't sewn in 25 years, so I wouldn't even remember how to thread a bobbin. I will need lots of basic instructions. Anywhere in particular to start? And, Dawn, why didn't you tell me about this?

Glad to join you all. Your work is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!

HI!!!!!
Make sure you check out the DisBotique photobucket page that has the outfits posted here sorted into categories (including a boys section)

Then Dena had to post that awesome small world outfit. So here is my version! I even made shoes! This is my second attempt at an appliqué. Not bad I don't think. I still need some more practice. Oh, and I drew the face on. I tried to appliqué it about six times and kept trashing it.

Gosh! That whole set turned out SOOO cute! Great job!

The Ariel outfit was really cute too! Great job on creating that! The outfit doesn't have to be homemade for the outfit to be custom! Lovely job.

Appliquéd Aurora - Nice job! I'm still not brave enough to do appliqué - ESPECIALLY on a stretchy t-shirt! (but it's also harder to think of things to appliqué for boys)

Well, that's all the time I have for right now.

 

[lil_ragamuffins]

okay everyone...your first opportunity to see my first attempt at applique (and your first look at my twins). Here are my pillowcase dresses for the girls. Im making some matching tutus for the big girls to match.

GREAT work! Your twins are so darling! I have identical twin boys (5). I always tell everyone when I get the stupid "double trouble" comment, multiples are often more work than you can ever imagine, but also more fun than you can ever imagine!

 

[lil_ragamuffins]

While I was out looking for a serger threader at a small fabric shop I go to every now and again, I noticed a backroom that I had never seen before. In there, they had all of their deeply discounted items. Guess what? I found the most DARLING Chip & Dale fabric!! I've never even seen Chip & Dale fabric before and this was not only incredible quality at an unbelieveable price (1.99/yd.)--but it's simply TDF!! It's one of the cutest Disney prints I've seen in a while and it's super, super RARE! They had lots of it. I bought only about 2 yards, but I'm tempted to go back for more. It'd be perfect for a boy or a girl! I really love it!


I was also going to ask you all, several pages back somebody mentioned that they'd be willing to pick up some from "Friends Around the World" fabric at their Hancocks and ship to those who wanted it but couldn't get it. I'd love to find out who this was and see if they could possibly pick some up for me. Have fun sewing and playing with your kiddos today everyone!

 

[twob4him]

You did an awesome job on this! I must have been very tough finding that purple outfit so you can put the Ariel on it. I think it looks cute and your applique looks great! I can get fabric from Wal-mart for you if you need for your next project. Pm me if you want. They have plenty of Ariel, princesses, nemo, pooh, and some tinkerbell as well. Oh yeah, Mickey, too. It runs about 3.94 per yard. I am pretty much there every week getting groceries. Hancocks has some too but I don't get there as much and it's only good if they are having a sale. We also have a hobby lobby that I go to occasionally. There is a rumor going around that our 2 Wally fabric places are closing but the clerk said that it will be open "until further notice" It's always busy there so I don't know what the deal is.

What a great price...online stuff is at least $6-10 / yard and then you add shipping. The problem is we arent going back to Disney for 1 1/2 years. I have no idea what outfits I would be making and what amount of fabric I would need. Hmmmmmmm I wonder if I should just get a few yards anyways....let me contemplate that...thanks again Buffy

Oh, and here is a pillowcase dress made of a vintage snow white sheet set. I made one for each of my 4 girls. They all have snow white doing different things with the 7 dwarfs. Here is image of the front and back.

Ok how is that for a start?
Will post photopass pics when they come in the mail! Missing about 10 outfits and the pics of the jewelry is hard to see with the outfits

OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!! How satisfying to see them all IN their outfits IN WDW!!! Thank you SOOOO much for sharing! It really is a thrill to see them. (Sorry this post is so behind... I haven't been online much the past few days and you guys are SOOO busy!!!)

 

[TravelinGal]

Hi All,

I just bought this onsie on Ebay for my DGS Cayden. I can't wait to try it on him when it gets here. If the applique is hard to see it's a baby with Mickey ears and a pacifier. I also have a bunch of clothes ordered for my DD's and once they all get here I'll take some pictures and post them.

Oh gosh that's cute!

In the meantime, I've finished a Pooh dress for my youngest. It gave me loads of trouble, but I do like how it looks on her. Thanks for letting me share.

Cute! Is the top that 'minky' fabric? It looks really soft!

I can't take credit for this one! Got it off ebay! Thanks anyway! I did redo the straps around the neck and spent 30 minutes clipping threads off, that they didn't!

Oh my! That's terrible. I know it's not a major deal, but it would make me mad to get something that wasn't fully finished. (and lots of hanging threads falls into not fully finished!)
Cute outfit though!!!

just tring to post pics that i had trouble with earlier.

tahlia- i still have to add some straps to this to help it stay up, plus i think it looks too old on her without them.

Ash - didn't want her photo taken

hope they work this time, melissa

Good job!

These aren't the best pics of her dress, but the others are not uploaded yet.
My daughter makes this terrible squishy face when the cameras out and says Cheese, we can hardly get a picture of her not making it!

Squishy Face

Oh my that's too cute! My DS always says Cheese, but drops the smile before the camera clicks. It's really hard to get a pic of him smiling. And candids don't exist because he sees the camera and comes running - saying "Cheese".

Outfit came out relly cute!

Oh, and here is a pillowcase dress made of a vintage snow white sheet set. I made one for each of my 4 girls. They all have snow white doing different things with the 7 dwarfs. Here is image of the front and back.

-Michelle

Love the vintage fabric!

Ok, how did I miss this thread for so long? I sat up until 3am reading every page and got up early this am to finish! I have bbg triplets who are 7, but my DD would love the older girl designs and I want to learn to make those pillowcases! Who made the really cute ones a few pages back? Are there directions anywhere?

I was one of the original designers on the DISigns board for t-shirts, but I burned out on that. I see lots of familiar faces from there! I always make us matching t-shirts for our trips, and we get so much attention. For Sept maybe I should try to make a couple of boutique outfits for DD and matching t-shirts for my boys?

Glad to join you all. Your work is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!

Hey Triplefigs! Nice to see you over here! I've admired your work on the CreativeDisigns board!

Hello All - You have all been such an inspiration to me. I used to sew and have just returned from a Disney trip. Unfortunately I found this thread about 10 days before we left for Disney so all I could churn out were some matching t-shirts.

I do have a friend who is going to Disney and I asked to make her an outfit. Her 7 year old daughter is an Ariel fanatic of the highest degree. I simply bought a basic outfit in her size and added to it. I have to say I have not appliqued before and need lots of practice.

Oh and I forgot to say that I also picked up some beads and Ariel stuff for decorating flip flops. I made them into a matching bracelet and necklace. I also used left over ribbon to make a hair bow:




And there you have it folks! Next time we go to Disney, I will be making outfits for us! Or at least altering already existing outfits for Disney. I wish I could do this full time...I love it. That and scrapbooking when I am not out horseback riding or Dissing

That turned out great!

Hi all! I haven't posted in a while, I've been really, really busy! Had a yard sale two weekends ago. I made enough to pay for plane tickets and rental car and $175 for spending money! Originally we were driving, so this is great!
I had decided I was done making clothes. I already have more outfits than days being there! I had to make a spreadsheet to figure out which outfits go to what day!!!!!Then Dena had to post that awesome small world outfit. So here is my version! I even made shoes! This is my second attempt at an applique. Not bad I don't think. I still need some more practice. Oh, and I drew the face on. I tried to applique it about six times and kept trashing it.

Great job on the outfit and shoes! Congratulations on the great yard sale! And, the spreadsheet it too funny!

I have a question. Is there any way to make appliques stay on temporarily? DD is getting a little "old" to wear some of the Disney applique stuff year round, but she would love to wear it for our vacation. I was thinking I could make/buy ie a jungle/leopard outfit and then temporarily afix a Mickey or Minnie head in a jungle print and pin on a ribbon?

Also, she only wears headbands now. Any patterns or info on how to make those? Or the bandana/scarf headbands?

Someone posted about some glue from Aleen's that is temporary. I don't remember the name of it though. You put it on the applique, and then stick it on the clothes. If I remember correctly, you can reuse the applique several times before having to reapply it.

I have headbands and hair accesories directions on my bookmark site. Under the "hair" section. (link in siggy and on original post of this thread)

I didn't make this one and it's not Disney, but it's Orlando! I was so excited about it, I had to share! I won this off ebay. It even came with the corker bows! Obviously this is for our Sea World day! Don't mind my DD's crazy wet hair, she just got out of the tub.

I love the Shamu!

Okay ladies- I did my first boys shirt and fancied up some jeans. They are a bit big for ds, but we still have 5 months till WDW so I figure it's better to have it big!! So what do you guys think?

Really cute! The outfit and your son!

Thanks so much. Honestly we do not know what is going on. They think she is having pedi mal seizures. They are less severe but still scary as can be! We living pretty close to Baltimore and D.C. so we have great hospitals. We are just waiting to be seen. She has to have some testing done but because of her age she has to be sedated.

The good news is everyone has told us she should grow out of all this. That is my hope. She is the sweetest little baby. My DD3 is very high matienance. It is nice to have a break with the little one. The baby has just been spending extra time with Mommy.

Thanks so much for your concern. It is funny because I do not technically know how to sew. I love to sew. I just was never taught the proper methods. It has been very theraputic for me. My DH has had to work at night for the last couple weeks. (He is a project manager.) I have really enjoyed sewing in the evenings when the house is quiet.

I took the girls to JoAnne's yesterday and I was conned into making matching Dorothy costumes for the girls! They are too funny. My DD is three and managed to pull that off!

So sorry about your daughter. That has got to be so stressful for you.
I can't wait to see the Dorothy costumes!

Hello Ladies,
I just finished Destiny's Ariel outfit. I think she likes it!

That turned out great Shamiki!!! I can tell Destiny loves it.

ok, so I scanned these in from our pictures at cinderellas lunch. they scanned horrible geesh sorry about that, but thought I would share the whole family!!

Lori

Hey, it's you! Great pictures and outfits!

DH just handed me reservations for Port Orleans French Quarter!!! FOR SATURDAY!!!! I am sooooooo excited!!!! BUT DD does not have enough customs!!! I KNEW I was going in Sept. . . so i was takoing my time!! Well. . she has a couple!!! We are leaving out Friday am and are going to stop by Wild Adventures water park on our way (we already have year passes for that)

I'm excited for you!!! Have fun!

Have a great trip!!!! Remember boutique clothes do not make the trip!!!

Bite your tongue!

I love that fabric! The dress is adorable!

Ok... I have my 3 rows done for a twirl skirt,,, I am a little nervous since the 3rd row is taller that me lol.

Can someone point me in the right direction to show me how to gather the rows to attach them together.

There are gathering tutorials in the bookmarks site.

There is a rumor going around that our 2 Wally fabric places are closing but the clerk said that it will be open "until further notice" It's always busy there so I don't know what the deal is.

One of the fabric departments near us was closing recently. They had stopped sending them stuff and were just waiting for it to run out. But, they got so much protest from the customers that they reopened it! They should start getting shipments again this week! There is an online form somewhere that you can sign, protesting the closing of the Walmart fabric departments. There was a link on this thread way back near page 100 or so! The lady at our Walmart said that they were told that the fabric department doesn't earn them enough money, since lots of people only buy the $1 and $2 a yard fabric. But, what the associates tried telling them was that people might come in for the fabric, but usually buy other stuff as well. That is true for me! I go in to look at the fabric, and often don't buy anything, but I ALWAYS leave Walmart with something! If there was no fabric section, I might as well go to Meijer!

okay everyone...your first opportunity to see my first attempt at applique (and your first look at my twins). Here are my pillowcase dresses for the girls. Im making some matching tutus for the big girls to match.

Oh geesh! They are just TOO cute!!!! Great job on the dresses too!

These aren't the best pics of her dress, but the others are not uploaded yet.

Happy Birthday Cuties Dress

I really like this cuties dress! I think ever kid goes through the silly smile phase!

While I was out looking for a serger threader at a small fabric shop I go to every now and again, I noticed a backroom that I had never seen before. In there, they had all of their deeply discounted items. Guess what? I found the most DARLING Chip & Dale fabric!!

It'd be perfect for a boy or a girl! I really love it!

Great find!!! I have never seen Chip and Dale fabric either! And what a great deal! Could you post a picture of it?

Oh, and here is a pillowcase dress made of a vintage snow white sheet set. I made one for each of my 4 girls. They all have snow white doing different things with the 7 dwarfs. Here is image of the front and back.

I love this vintage fabric! I love seeing different fabrics like this!

 

[disneyfreak74]

I know that she doesn't HAVE to have the customs. . . .JUST I wanted her to!! But anyway!!! I have the GREATEST DH!!! I'll keep my eye out for customs while I am there and might get some ideas for September!!!

 

[TravelinGal]

I love the Friends around the world fabric and the coordinating fabric with the writing. I just got some on Sunday and I have been wondering if it was too "girly" to make something for DS out of it?

I am definatey making a dress for DD but am wondering if it could be used to applique some of the boys in the fabric on some denim shortalls? I love the faces on the shoes!

Please share your opinions or ideas!

I think this fabric would look awesome on a boys style camp shirt. A while back someone posted pics using busy fabrics in a strip on each side of the front and the rest a solid color. I picture this on black or blue. I think it would look awesome, then applique the boys on the pant legs or back pockets would be awesome!

I played around with the shirt I made DS (in photoshop, of course) and this is what I came up with using images of the friends fabric:

The shirt pattern is Simplicity 4287

The shirt I sewed that I used to edit/photoshop the design below:

Gave me these results:

That was me I can see if they have any left. THey were almost at the end of the bolt when I got there

THANK YOU!!

 

[buffy0214]

Wow! Some awesome outfits lately! I left on page 400 so I have some catching up to do. I finished some outfits for my DDs. These are for CRT.

Skirt and shirt for DD9 (She posed without any instruction from me.)



T-shirt dress for DD6--more ruffly than the skirt

 

[t-beri]

Yeah, 9 yo's seem to be good at that- mines a boy and poses w/ the best of them!!!

I'm wanting to make a dress out of a pair of overalls by cutting it off at the waist and adding a circle skirt. This seems pretty straight forward. I think rather than using my daughters waist measurment for the skirt measurement I should use the waistline of the jumper so it fits...But whenever something seems simple to me it seems as though I overlook stuff that, in hind sight, was SOOO obvious. So, have any of you done this and have advice or just see a particular problem in my theory? I'm thinking of adding a minnie dot skirt and making a shirred MD shirt w/ short puffy sleeves to go under the jumper and getting her some Yellow crocs. It will be the end of Oct. so if it's cool (and w/ the temperatures we're having now I doubt it will be!!!) she can wear a black longsleeved body suit and leggings. Of course I have these GREAT ideas then start to work on them w/ out thinking through them fully (eg: the huge print on the cuties dress w/ my DD's teeny tiny bodice! )

Any and all suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!

Ya'll have been busy, busy, busy. Same here. I'm having trouble trying to keep up with the boards, play with my girls, keep up the house, sew, etc. Plus, I was on Sunshine Rewards quite a bit yesterday. Tricia was having increased payouts on lots of offers. Tomorrow is increased payout on shopping, so I may not make it here tomorrow either. Uh-oh!!

Anyway, I love this pattern, and ended up buying it myself. I don't know how to do the photoshop thing, but I love the way it works. How would this look with the Friends Around the World fabric as the main fabric and a solis stripe? Could you do that for me? Thanks,

 

[MiniGirl]

Nice work everyone, and welcome to all those who are coming out of lurkdom and/or just finding us here.

I have enjoyed all the outfits but especially the boy outfit. I don't have boys, but I seem to be drawn to making them. It's a tough balancing act though between making them cute but not too cute, KWIM?

Anyway, keep up the great work everyone.
