Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes Part 3

[Hahawillis]

I'm in desperate need of this fabric to match a shirt my daughter has. Anyone know where I can get it or where to look online? I've hit every store near me I can think of.

I thought I saw it at Hobby Lobby.

Here are the first two dresses.

This is the green and blue Mickey print. I am proud to say I made my little one a moo moo!

Keep in mind we are not going for seven months- well six months 29 days. Who's counting. In the last nine months DD grew 5 inches. I am not going to sew the straps in yet. I am goind to wait and do that the week before we leave. That way I can make adjustments.

I bought the green striped St. Judes fabric. I really want to add a ruffle but I do not know if I should. I could take a couple inches off the dress and then do it. Also do you think I should add a tie somewhere in the middle of the dress so I can tighten the waist. She is just do skinny!

Here is the nemo outfit for MGM. She is going to wear it in the morning before we go to the princess lunch. There of course she will change into a gown!

I used nemo blanket binding on the bottom hem.

The baby is also getting a coordinating nemo dress. Thanks so much to whoever posted the previous nemo dress!!! Obviously we loved it!

I absolutely love love LOVE the "moo moo"! I have to admit, I wear dresses like that all the time. they are SO comfy, and great to Disneytrek in!!

Since sewing for my step daughter has become a political issue...*sigh* I have to try these things out on myself! I think this may just be "Project One!" WooHOO!!! Your little one is darling! My step son is a skinny minnie too! He's five and getting tall, but he still wears 4T sized pants and honestly fits fine in a 3T. All his shorts are starting to look TOO short!

My Joann still has it. I saw it there yesterday, and it's 30% off right now. If you still can't find it I'll be happy to pick up some for you. I'm planning to buy some to put away for future outfits for my girls.

 

[esab4]

Aimeeg, both dresses are very cute! I don't think I'd add a ruffle to the Mickey dress, but that's just my opinion.

 

[wannaseetigger]

I was thinking that I would cover the whole top panel of the overalls with the pooh fabric, but it never worked out for me, is there a secret to that folks? I added the piping (red) to the bib part (second pic) and am thinking of adding it to the pant leg cuff, but I am not sure.[/QUOTE]

Could someone tell me how you cover the bib of the overalls with material? Specifics I'm a beginner sewer. LOL
thanks

hearing that makes me soooo glad I'm not married
Haircut-$35 dollars
Wash, condition, blowdry $25.00
Tri-tone color job $50.00
Last minute added highlights $35.oo
Tip for stylist $20.00
Not having a husband to complain about how much this stuff costs...
PRICE-LESS!!

I'm in total agreement as a single mom.

Umm, Lisa, I think you have a problem!

Did I mention that photo is from more then 2 months ago and before I added mumble mumble yards of new prints? I did sell many yards of fabric during that time but none from the stash shown in the photo. I'm afraid I don't think I have a problem... I KNOW I do.

 

[revrob]

loc-tight ...
(spelling? lock-tight, lock-tite, ??)
just a teeny-weeny bit, though~!
too much & it'll "never" come out.

What is loc-tight?

 

[tanyaandallie]

See, I knew I'd found kindred spirits when I opened this thread. LOL I knew I had a problem when I was at the cutting counter and before I could tell the woman the length I needed, my then 3yo DD said "We'll take all of it". I realized that too often that's exactly what I'd say myself so I've tried to really scale back. The most I'll buy now is 5 yards unless I have a specific need for more - and I never really do. Still, I know if I added up what I've spent for fabric in my stash, I'd think of it in terms of how many Disney days that would have bought me instead. Here's a photo of just some of my stash.

Holy cow, Lisa. That's a serious fabric collection!!!

At least you have a business (your items are GORGEOUS btw--I came across an auction last night and recognized the JoJo set. Really, really amazing work!). I'm collecting mumble mumble yards for no good reason...

 

[LisaZoe]

I'm collecting mumble mumble yards for no good reason...

LOL A lot of the fabric I have that isn't shown was bought for no good reason before kind members of this board encouraged me to try sewing for others. The bulk of the fabric in the photo were purchased since then so I both applaud and blame those members for their encouragement.

Even though I have to make ruffles by hand like a caveman...
Trusting that dd will love anything I make
or wear it anyway;
That I may be reasonably happy with each completed project
and show it off to my new friends
Even if they're WAY better
Amen.


HEY!!!! I make ALL my ruffles by hand and I am not a caveman. I LOVE the way the "spinny" skirts look for my DD. (And when I say by hand I mean BY hand, each gather is hand pinned, no machine gathering)

I was in our other walmart today to get fabric and they don't have any (this is only the 1st time I was in there) I was talking to the girl in crafts and she said ...... get this...... they are in the midst of slowly removing the fabric dept from all walmarts. I said are THEY INSANE!!!! living in the hicktown that I do, walmart is the only place to get fabric. UGH. Has anyone else heard this said anywhere? And seriously, give me your time tips as to how to sew with kids running about. I want to make much more then I have time for.

They've been downsizing or totally eliminating fabric departments from many stores. I guess it depends on the sales volume for each location what they do. I know ours was reduced in size by half. They don't carry any seasonal prints and mostly just have one section of the wall and the $1 & $2 table.

I went to the poconos (sp?) two summers ago for camp jeep and we had an absolute blast! We went to Wal Mart because that was all there was! I just this past month discovered the Wal Mart fabric section. Sorry, I am a Target girl!

 

[teresajoy]

I take a day off to go the dunes, and look what happens! I am SOOO far behind right now! So, could you all stop posting until I catch up?

WOW! That's is a great bookmarks list!

It's so jammed packed full of GREAT SITES with Tons of Projects, it's taking me awhile to look through it all.
I'm still looking for that free corset pattern, though.
THANKS TONS for putting that list together & posting it!!!!!!!

Thanks, my sister, hkite has been helping me try to organize it better. I was looking through it, and I don't see the corset pattern I was talking about. I may have saved it to my personal bookmarks on my computer. I will try to find it and post it on there.

I had firm intentions of being a BOY...even told my first grade teacher my name was "Jo"...*ahem* She thought i was a boy for two weeks thanks to the short hair and overalls...when she found out I was in fact a girl, I was sent along to the psychiatrists office! This ceased to be an issue when I was enrolled in Our Lady of Sorrows elementary school...uniforms...*sigh*)

Oh my gosh! You made me spit coffee all over the computer reading your post! How funny is that story!!!! And CONGRATULATIONS on getting to the end of the thread!!!!

Here are just a few more of our outfits. The quality of these pictures is not good. I took them with a disposable camera after my digital camera's battery ran out. I forgot to pack the charger! I usually have good luck with those little disposable cameras, but not this time.

My seven year-old wanted a High School Musical outfit to wear to the pep rally. She picked these fabrics and we added appliques. There's a basketball and the words "Go Team" on the back.

An acquaintance who has the embroidery machine did the Ariel embroidery. She did a nice job.

The red/white polka dot sandals never left the suitcase once Grandma bought her the Crocs.

Adorable outfits!!! I wouldn't want to take the Crocs off either! I LOVE mine! I don't know what I'm going to do come winter! They need to sell a sneaker style.

my dd's picked out this fabric for their dresses they want me to make them for the county fair...and then i had a great idea afterwards to put the mickey head on them so they could wear to animal kingdom...what do you all think? i have no idea how to applique at all...so when i am ready i will ask for advice on how to do it...

p.s. i am in the process of having a garage sale this weekend so i most likely will not get to this project until sunday at the earliest...

I think that is going to be adorable.

I know this is off topic, but my dd is sick! She's not yet 3 and she was throwing up a couple days ago and has been having fevers off and on. Now she has a measles looking rash alllllll over her body. I don't think it's heat rash. Great! I'm taking her to the kid's Insta Care a little later. I just get so worried when my kids are sick. Goodness only knows what the sam-hill this is. Send a little pixie dust and especially prayers if you want.

I'm not to the end of the thread yet, but I hope Nora is doing better.

Not a Disney outfit, but I had a ton of this material so I gave it a go. I am having a heck of time attaching the skirt to the tshirt material. Even going very slowly - it still bunched up in places. I have gone back and fixed some of it. Any tips to make this easier and look better? BTW, in this picture, the dress is a little crooked, I didn't fix it before I took the picture.

And, I have to add -- you other newbies are doing way better than me. I'll keep trying though!

That's cute, nice job.

Has anyone seen this fabric? The only place I found it, it is out of stock. Grumble grumble.

UtahMama, I hope your little one feels better soon.

I haven't seen it, but I love it!

I found some photos, for Amy....this bodice is the same as the cow one. and it shows the back...

I love that Sea World dress!

I haven't looked for one @ WallyMart = I dunno if they carry them.
I bought My Ruffle Foot at JoAnn's, a long time ago. (Approx. $15-18 ?)
I've seen them at Hancock & Field's Fabrics, too.
IF the ones you find at those stores don't work for your older machine, then I'd suggest checking the Regular Sewing Centers.
They'll probably either have one instock, or can GET one.
OR just go there first. I'm not sure how much their mark-up is, it might not be much.
IT'S TOTALLY WORTH THE TRIP TO THE STORE !!!
After you get used to using it, you won't believe how you ever lived without it !
Here's pictures of mine, it's original packaging, and my foot I compared it to.
As you can see my machine's not "new", from the 60's or 70's (dunno exact year made).

We saw this at Joanns the other day, it's still $15.

This is the last photo for tonight, I sware...I just found all of these old photos, and I got excited...

This is totally not disney related...This is a great reason to move to Florida...there are tons of these little beachy areas, and the girls love them...and they are just beautiful...this was taken at a place called the Turtle Mounds near Cape Canaveral Seashore...

My husband's friend use to live in Cape Canaveral, he has moved to Titusville now, but I thought this beach looked familiar. I think he has taken us to that same general area before. It's so beautiful!

Here's one I have that's sort of upclose. Does that help any? What part of the closure do you want to see?



I will take some more pics tomorrow. The corset is really not as rigid as I thought it would be, which for DD was good. I was concerned about it being uncomfortable, but it really doesn't look it when its on. It's maybe the thickness of denim just to give you an idea....it does have some body, but it allows her to bend and move, too. I hope that makes a little sense.

I was wondering if buttonholes would work in place of the metal things (my mind has left me today, and I can't think what they are called!)

Okay, I think I have enough posts under my belt to post a picture. I did this Aurora t-shirt for my best friend's daughter. They just got back from Disney and she was so happy with it, she wore it three times during their five day stay. I'm not in love with it...I think her eyes look a little crazy. But I'm really excited to paint some more.

This is so much fun! My husband is so sick of seeing me in front of the computer...

Oh WOW! That is really good!

That is really incredible! Beautiful work!

Good Evening! Or should I say early morning! Is it really this late???????

I got DD's next outfit done! Whew! All I can say is thank goodness the seam ripper was invented!

I really need to pratice my applique technique. It looks o.k. from a distance squinting with one eye closed in a VERY dark room!
The completed outfit:

Ok Tom, fess up! Who are you and why are running around the DISboards masquerading as a beginning sewer???? This is beautiful! I can't wait to see what you come up with next Tom (if your name is in fact "Tom")....

I stayed up way to late smocking last night. This is really going to be a practice makes perfect kind of project. I started practicing cable stitches. The first row is a mess. I figured it out after I finished. Then I did the second row. I was not making my stitches even and tight enough at first.

Then I started the waves. The first wave was not long enough I may end up cropping that row out. The border is for the Mermaid smocking plate that will end up being Ariel!

I think you are doing an amazing job! I would really love to learn to do that.

Okay!

I have been a busy girl planning out my girls outfits. I was going to the fabric store and buying this because it was pretty too much!!!!

Here is the Ohano Breakfast outfit. I am doing it for both girls. I love the Lilly hair bow. These Lilly's were my wedding flower!

Here is the outfit for MGM in the morning. I hate the sketch but you get the idea.

Here is the sketches for a Magic Kindom outfit. I am doing different dresses for the girls using the same fabric.

Wow! You have some great ideas, I can't wait to see them completed.


Ok, off to read the rest of the posts, or maybe I should . Nah!!!

 

[aimeeg]

Thanks for everyones comments and compliments. I pinned the dress today to make a larger hem. I am probably going to just add a small striped ruffle to the bottom. In the center green tier I am going to open the seems and add a long striped tie on each side. That way I can make the dress a bit more form fitting.

By the way DD is already calling it a Moo Moo

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Although I didn't make the outfit you are talking about, I didn't see your question answered (although I may just have missed it in the pages and pages of posts since I went to bed)!

They are embroidered scrapbooking stickers put out by Disney. Here is what the package looks like:

I saw those today at the Walmart. They had the Minnie dot print and bottle caps too. But since I'm a non-sewer, I resisted buying them. My question is: Do the stickers stay on through washing? They can't go in the dryer, can they?

 

[danicaw]

Aimeeg - great job! And your DD seems to like them
I was considering the disney blanket binding for that same thing, it turned out wonderfully! Thanks for sharing the pics.

I was thinking that I would cover the whole top panel of the overalls with the pooh fabric, but it never worked out for me, is there a secret to that folks? I added the piping (red) to the bib part (second pic) and am thinking of adding it to the pant leg cuff, but I am not sure.

tina[/QUOTE]

I am still curious about this...
Here is a pic from the disboutique photos - such a cute big bro and lil sis.

I would insert the pic, but they aren't my kids and I feel odd about posting it...might be silly, but whats wrong with silly
Anywho, anyone know how to cover the whole bib part? I have this feeling its easier than I am thinking it is....or very very hard

No time to sew today, but DS and I stenciled some t-shirts (non-disney, shhhh don't tell) Its such fun to do that with him. And he loves wearing the shirts we make together. Last night he wore one as a PJ top but we had stenciled a Lg Dump truck on the back (to big for the front, as the shirt has a pocket), well he insisted on wearing the shirt backwards, so the truck was in front. Silly boy - gotta love it.

 

[princesssfws]

Here is the skirt that I "dreamed" up after my son woke me up and I couldn't go back to sleep. It was inspired by someone else's HMS skirt.
What should I do for the top? I was thinking an applique megaphone with either GO TEAM or EHS on it. Any other ideas.

I would just hem the last tier shorter to make it the bottom ruffle and then you'd be done . It looks great.
