Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes Part 4

[livndisney]

Ok I have given up on trying to get caught up. (I am still not caught up on the 23 pages from labor day now I am 11 more pages behind)
I skimmed some pictures, Tom the sailor set is adorable!

Teresajoy, mouse ear clippys are $6.50.

I spent the morning at a Doodlebop concert and saw no customs My DD wore her DeeDee Doodle last year, but I never had time to make one this year. My DD did tell me she would like a new dress for NEXT year LOL.

OT, but since we're friends, do any of you have DVC or are considering DVC?? Any tips or hints? You can PM me if you'd rather. Thanks I figure it's okay to ask here, because now that my DD is going to have so many customs, don't we need to go more than once a year???

I like the idea of the painted shoes!!! I want to try a castle pair!! I figure if I can do a castle pair, they can be worn with all of the customs!

We're DVC members. LOVE IT! My only regret is that we didn't do it sooner. We just joined in 2003? 2004? We just did an add on of more points, and probably plan to do another add on or two before it's over. It has really been a way for us to stay in awesome resorts that we otherwise wouldn't. Before we joined we stayed at value or moderate resorts only. We have become VERY spoiled by staying in DVC resorts. It really is just a wonderful thing. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions!

I too am a DVC member and LOVE it. Now since I do go so often is why I have to have the custom outfits!!! LOL

But seriously, it is a family investment I am glad we purchased for the many memories it creates.

I just got back from Joann's and found this cute fabric. I bought 4 yards and don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. In the pic, it looks greenish, but it's blue.

I was there buying fabric for a blanket I'm planning on making. Our Joanns hardly has any princess fabric. It's all flannel. Do you think that will be ok for a blanket? Flannel?

Now that I have been back to work I really feel like I havent been able to comment on everyone's loverly work and beautiful outfits. I barely have enough energy to read thru each days posting. I just want everyone to know that I love everything!

I would LOVE to be a DVC member. I'm so jealous of you all!

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!

Very nice! Great job! I like the letters wonky too! Much easier that way!

All I could do was laugh when I saw your reference to me! Or was that of Teresa's old refrigerator?!

DH and I are DVC members It has really afforded us to be able to go more often and stay in better accommodations. We used to go several times a year and stay in value or moderates. It's not for everybody but it works for us. There are DVC boards on the DISboards and the folks on there are super nice and very helpful! One of the rules of thumb I often hear when it comes to advice on buying or not buying is the following...If you go to WDW at least every other year and stay in either moderate or deluxe resorts then DVC will save you money. If you ahve any specific questions feel free to PM me.

Well I got the fabric and supplies to make DD's Alice costume today.
Also, I got the fabric ans supplies to make DW's and my Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum costumes. I have never done anything adult sized. We shall see how this goes! It should be easier though, no "little" parts and pieces to stitch together!

Geesh!, How much time before we leave? I don't think I will ever get it all done. Too bad I can't call in sick to work for 2 weeks, and then take my week of vacation!

I think I will need to stock up on Dt. Pepsi MAX. (Sorry Aimee, not a big Coke fan here! I tend to side with UMama on her choice of drink! ) It tends to keep me moving and the speed of the surger with the pedal to the medal!

Off to study my patterns, and then cut them out!

Terrie,
Your Golden Retriever is gorgeous! I remember you told me in a PM that you showed dogs and you came up to my area for a show. We have a Golden who is almost 2. My friend, who is big into dog shows around here, got her for me. She is related to the dog, Bailey, that does commercials, etc. Hmmm... you may know my friend.

 

[SallyfromDE]

Dreadful pictures of Kirsta. But here is her Tinkerbelle outfit. I think I should shorten the skirt so you can see the net. But that may have to come later as I've still tons of stuff to do. I was origionally attach the petals, but decided that I should have 2 looks. So I put the petals on a waistband. I used a purchased tank top.

 

[tadamom]

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 are adorable!!! I may have to CAB that Christmas outfit!

Too cute!!!! Love it! GO NOLES!!!! I wish I could get FSU fabric around here and/or ribbon to make bows...It's so pricey on "that" site and I know if I were in Tally again I could get it. I'm jealous and your daughter looks like a very bright girl ~ being a FSU fan!

GO NOLES!!! I love it. When I was very little we lived about 3 minutes from FSU!!! We even had a puppy named Nole.

Another talented and smart woman!

Ask away, we've been members since 1997 and have never regretted it! Best thing we ever did.

How clever is that. I'm so impressed....

and Tadamom ~ your daughter is such a cutie. I can't find the orig msg to quote but I just had to tell you that!

I haven't read since last night but I absolutely had to share that I just finished my first applique! I am quite pleased with it and think it went well, other than the detail straight stitches. I kept the shape simple, which helped. I used all the tips I've read here and used bobbin thread, heat n' bond lite, and sulky, tear-away stabilizer. I did not use a pressing sheet because neither Joann's I went to seemed to carry it so I guess I'll order it. Anyway, here's the applique, I'll share the full dress later when I have a model for it. Although I like it, do any of you pros see something wrong that I need to do different next time?

 

[luv2go2disney]

I downloaded that Minnie Font a few pages back, now how do install it on my desktop as a True Type Font? I can never remember how to install it. TIA for your help!

You put my crab to shame!!! This is fantastic!!! I thnink I will try the bobbin thread. That is the only thing I did differently. Great work, you should be very proud!

Thank you! I'm sure I do. Bailey's owner Kathy lives near your area. Disney did a few commercials too (same agent as Bailey) but we were mostly too busy at dog shows to do many commercials. It is fun though! To keep it on topic...once I learn to sew I am also hoping to make Disney a cutom boutique dog bed...but then I'm sure the other seven will want one too

How clever! I love it. What pattern did you use for the skirt itself? I love the layered look of the lining, netting and then the print. I want to try something similar but havent figured out how just yet. I am still a newbie

First of all, we're never sick of seeing Megan, and second of all there's no such thing as clothing being "a bit busy" on this thread! There's also no such thing as hair bows too big or skirts too twirly or too many ruffles....


I NEED to do a vertical paneled skirt. I love all the ones posted here!

 

[wheelerkidz3]
