Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes Part 4

[tadamom]

We are going to a Seafood/ Chesapeake Bay Festival this weekend. This is the dress I made for both of my girls. This is the baby's first custom. I am so excited.

I do suggest not learing how to applique with the MD Blue Crab. (They are blue until you steem them. Yummo! Well I don't like them but a lot people do. )

I still have to cut some little threads. I was busy watching Monk and Psych tonight.

Super cute! I love the colors!!

 

[tadamom]

OK, I have one more outfit to share before I call it a night. We have to catch an early flight for Disney tomorrow morning - woohoo!

We just got this one tonight. MIL made it for DD to wear on the cruise, and probably to 'Ohana one night. Kinda tropical and cruisey .

Are princesses supposed to make these faces??

Oh and a BIG THANKS to Tom for the great, coordinating bow! It matches the outfit perfectly! Tom rocks!


I'll post pictures when we get back. I can only imagine what this thread is going to be on when I get back. It'll take me a day just to catch up!

I love this outfit too!

I would imagine Archiver's still carries the line. If you want, I will look on my paper to tell you the correct name so you can call them. I try to stay away from that place! As for the lunch box, I can't remember. Maybe Michaels. I know Joann's carried them for a while. Oriental trading carries them. Again, this is something I have had for over a year and finally used! Since you scrap you know how we collect things! I went to 3 Targets today to try and find the Primas on clearance, no luck!!

I've been hunting for these papers as well. The brand in Reminisce and the line is called Real Magic. I did find several of the papers in stock at scrapbook.com. The Reminisce website also has a store locator which might help you. I got a couple of the metal lunchboxes from Oriental trading and I was very happy with them.

Are the lunchboxes plain? Or are they painted? I try to stay away from Archiver's too! But it is hard once you go you can't stop. I have to drive 45 minutes to get to the one near me so. But please let me know if you can what the names are of the papers. I have some coupons for Archivers so I know I will be going back soon!

I didn't know Target had Primas hmmm I am looking for some of those. I may have to run in and look.

I bought an "M" at Michael's today but it is a little different style than yours and I found the little metal "memories" sign today too.

Good morning everyone. Does anyone have a current coupon for Joanns. That you might be willing to share. TIA

Here's a few pics of my new Minnie set and Jojo Set I just completed. I have to iron the Minnie top because she's a little wrinkly... Hope everyone is doing great!

You did a great job! Love the twirl factor!

Hi everyone, as always, I'm in catching up mode. I'm loving all the outfits that I'm seeing, though it seems to be slowing down a bit? Perhaps because everyone is actually going off to WDW this month for free dining!

I need to send out a thank you to the ladies that shared the idea of Locks of Love that their daughters had participated in. Your sharing gave me the idea to ask my 8 year old if she would consider cutting off her hair to donate it. She made me very proud when she said yes! This is the child who told me she was never going to cut her hair and agonized over the 1/2-inch trim I gave her last month. Anyway, here's her before and then her after is the newest outfit I finished for her.

While I'm at it, heres a t-shirt, twirl dress I completed for the baby. It's amazing how fast and easy this was! I definitely want to do more, maybe with long sleeves. I thought the top of the shirt was too plain so I simply added a sequin patch.

What a sweet DD you have! She looks so adorable with her new cut too! Love both the outfits!!!

My mom made Megan a mermaid outfit but she can't walk in it:

LOL - LOVE IT!

Well everyone I survived my first week of school sort of. I was so tired I couldnt comment on all of the creations this week individually....but know that I saw everything with toothpicks holding my eyelids open.... Great job everyone!!!


Ohhhh VERY NICE!!! Now we had the discussion at least a month ago but I never heard what the final consensous was.....can you or can you not use the Cricut to cut out fabric appliques? Don't you think that will dull the blade?

I think it will probably dull a little quicker than the cutting paper - but worth it for some things that are tricky!

Zoe started school yesterday... finally. Unfortunately, this summer she made it clear that she doesn't want to wear clothes that make her stand out too much so I tried to keep her "First Day" outfit simple. The tshirt was fine but I have a feeling the skirt won't be worn again.

This is as she walked away from me... as if she'd be able to leave me outside.

Here she realizes I'm actually planning to go inside with her!!! :

Oh the embarrassment - I made a major faux pas and actually asked for a "good bye" kiss when there were other kids nearby!

The good news is she loves school and thinks it's FUN. The bad news is I have to revise my plans for new outfits I was going to make for her to wear to school.

I think the outfit looks great - and not over the top at all. DD7.5 (LOL) is not having issues with clothing yet - as long as it is comfortable. BUT - she won't let me sing in public or private sometimes for that matter! They grow up so fast. Sometimes I wonder if I should stop making some customs for DD - she will wear them - but I don't want her to be teased.

We are going to a Seafood/ Chesapeake Bay Festival this weekend. This is the dress I made for both of my girls. This is the baby's first custom. I am so excited.

Great job on the crab!! I am still trying to do my first Mickey head - LOL!

Good morning everyone. Does anyone have a current coupon for Joanns. That you might be willing to share. TIA

There is a bookmark on the links page (the one you can find on the first page) that has the JoAnn coupon.

The lunch boxes are painted white on the outside. The paper is the same as what Cutterbug listed. Target had Primas marked down 75% off, so they were like $1.74. I bought a couple of bottles for $4.88 and thought that was great! I think I got my M from Hobby Lobby. The B on the autograph book is just 2 pages of cardstock. I didn't want to make it too bulky!

Ok, I finally got some better photos of the outfits I posted the other day! As soon as I put the minnie twirl on Ella, she started singing "I'm a little princess" and swishing her hips! What a crack up! She's going to be trouble, I just know it.

So here they are - there's a lot, but I was excited to get some good ones finally!

Hope everyone's having a great weekend!

here's one for me...
Impaired mental status related to 2 screaming kids as evidenced by continuously taking them into public places despite their inability to behave.

I think that you just diagnosed me too, how did you know?!?!? You are going to make a fine nurse!

Still not caught up! But I am home from our week at my Mom's and the big news is I won the bet I had with my husband! YAHOOOO!

He bet me an upgrade from the 70 stitch Brother sewing machine at costco to the Disney Brother machine (SE270D).
I am so excited I won! His memory is usually much better than mine and I have learned over the last 10 plus years not to bet anything with him if my memory is involved. But this time I was sure I was right and I WAS RIGHT!
Poor guy, I have been rubbing it in since we got home last night at 11. But he has been a good loser.

So, I am in serious need of sewing machine reviews.
I love the idea of the Brother SE270D

But it intimidates me a bit also. Who has it? Do you like it?
I have found really mixed reviews online so I am looking for more info.
Thanks.

Now I need to go back about 50 pages or so and get caught up.
I love the back to school outfits and the costumes you are making.
What a talented group.
Thanks for sharing, its seriously inspiring.

(still missing my sig pic...don't worry we didn't fall out the window )

I have this machine. I do like it, but keep in mind it's my first machine so I have nothing to compare it to. The loading of the thread, threading the needle, and loading the bobbin are super easy. Buttonholes are only one step, which I love. But if you don't plan to do a lot of embroidery I'd say get a different one. But I love it. The only downfall I found is that it makes a loud thumping noise when you do lots of layers. It sews them fine, but the noise is kind of scary Good luck

never mind

I made this last night.

I got the idea from ebay. Hmm, I had the auction link but I think that is a no no, search mike custom costume if you wanted see where I got the idea from.

Best friend wanted one for her son. This really isn't for Dallas. It was just a practice run for nothing! But Dallas was asleep and her son is about 14 months old, although I think it would fit.

How long have you been sewing? Why was I thinking you were fairly new to this? You do some FANTASTIC work! I really like this! And I LOOOVE crab! I can come and eat your share!

I can't wait to see pictures of your girls in these outfits!

Aww that is absolutely precious amieeg. I LOVE the blue fabrics! I am seriously wondering if you ever sleep though lol.

She doesn't sleep, she just drinks Coke Zero!

gee...thanks...
here's one for me...
Impaired mental status related to 2 screaming kids as evidenced by continuously taking them into public places despite their inability to behave.

THAT is very funny!

I used to do the same thing when we visited my grandmother's retirement community and we got to swim in a pool! I loved Weeki Wachee when I was a kid. I am sure all the seniors thought I was nuts!

Oh gosh! We should get together while we are down in May, and put on our very own mermaid show!!!

I'll e-mail my mom and ask what pattern she used. I don't think it was hard, except the end of the tail was tricky she said.

Thanks!

Hey everyone -- just letting you know I am still here, lurking here and there. I've been too busy to sew and my fabric stash keeps growing. I did want to share what happened this week at DD's school. Thursday was the school's yearly back to school picnic. All of the teachers came up to me and asked where I was buying DD's clothes because everything she had been wearing to school was so cute. When I told them that I made them, they could not believe it. This made me feel really proud (since I've only been sewing for about 2 months, I also thought "Thank goodness, they are not looking at the inside of the outfits (not too pretty)). Anyway -- if that's not encouragement for a newbie, I don't know what it.

Also, OT, DH swapped one of "his toys" for a boat -- so we've been driving to the river every day. Actually, we will be off in about 10 minutes. We're thinking of names -- right now "Still Afloat" is in the lead. (Does this call for a custom outfit for DD?) --


KEEP UP ALL THE HARD WORK!! I've loved all the custom autograph books lately -- wonderful!!

That is so nice!!! Isn't it wonderful to be able to say, "I made it!" ?! The new boat DEFINETELY calls for a new outfit!

Ok, I finally got some better photos of the outfits I posted the other day! As soon as I put the minnie twirl on Ella, she started singing "I'm a little princess" and swishing her hips! What a crack up! She's going to be trouble, I just know it.

So here they are - there's a lot, but I was excited to get some good ones finally!

Hope everyone's having a great weekend!

These really are gorgeous!!!

WHEEHW!!! I'm so relived you didn't fall out that window!!!

I made this last night.

Jessica, that is SOO cute!!! I love it! Great job, and thanks for the picture!

I just checked the Fields Fabric site, and BUTTERICK patterns are finally on sale! I am off to find Arminda a Mulan pattern!

 

[UtahMama]

I made this last night.

Mike Wazowski!!! Sheesh that's cute!

 

[100AcrePrincess]

I just got the new JoAnn's mailer & Butterick patterns are on sale for $1.99 from Sept 9-15.

 

[Stephres]

Oh gosh! We should get together while we are down in May, and put on our very own mermaid show!!!

Thanks!

Yes, let's! My mom e-mailed me and she said she didn't use a pattern for the tail. I guess I didn't realize that! I guess she just drew it out and made it. I do know there is stiff stuff in the bottom of the tail so she can flap it around. The pattern for the top is McCalls 4818.

Love the Mike costume and I am laughing thinking about an 18 month old toddling around in it. It will be so cute!

 

[Stephres]

Ok, I know you all are sick of seeing her, but I finally got the cranky one to go get some more thread with me and I finished her outfit. Now that we have a proper custom Florida State outfit I am sure we will do much better than last week! This is totally cased from CastleCreation's cute froggy outfit, which I have been wanting to copy since I saw it. I hope this does it justice:

The back:

When I used my mad math skillz to figure out how many panels (measure the bottom of the bodice, multiply by 2, then add a few more in for good measure) I thought maybe I made it too twirly. Then my good sense took over and I remembered that nothing is too twirly!

And here is a close up of the appliqué:





psych! Who do you think I am: Tom? It looks ok from a little distance, and that's all I am saying!

Oh, I forgot to say that when I told her it was finished, Megan said, "Let me try it on and you go get the camera to take some pictures for Nanny and our friends." How's that for trained?

DH did not like the letters at a "jaunty angle," which is something I learned from scrapbooking. Why try to get a title straight when you can put it on a jaunty angle and not have to worry about all that measuring stuff? He also thinks it looks a bit busy. I don't know, I like it. He doesn't get the ric rac obsession so I don't always listen to his opinion. What does he know anyway? Ok, off to watch the game: go Noles!
