Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes Part 4

[mytwotinks]

LOVE the fur cuffs. My sister told me about those (she has a friend . . .) Anyone willing to sell - send me a PM. I'm in the market . . .

Okay. This is what I have been working on lately. I have not been diligent. And I have a bunch of stuff to make. BUT. I thought it turned out well. I love the colors together.

Close-up of my first applique. This was easier than I thought!

And. Just because - pics of my kids. I made the Peter Pan outfit for my son for our trip in December. Some wise people once told me that so few people dress boys up for the parks, that it makes the ones that do REALLY stand out. We're going to try it. The Tink is obviously a Disney store buy.

That Peter Pan is going to be adorable in the parks! Where are you going to have him wear it?

 

[tnmom25]

I love your outfit! I love the peek-a-boo ricrac and I always forget to do something like that! Your applique looks great! I'm sure Peter Pan is going to be a hit as well as Tink!

I need some serger help. I bought a singer serger for the sole purpose of rolled hems. Well, I can get it to do the over lock stitches to finish the edges, but I could not do a rolled hem to save my life. I am following the directions in the book very carefully. I know it is threaded correctly since it does all of the other stitches well. Can someone please give me some sample settings that work for them. I am trying to use cotton fabric and all of the settings in the book are for sheer or very light fabric.

That being said... I LOVE the serger. The edges are sooooo much nicer on the insides of my outfits.

I have been sewing away. I am however still without my laptop, so no pics for a few days. I can not wait to show you all the dress I made Miss. Katie for the pumpkin show.

Thanks in advance for the help. I really need this to work. I bought a rolled hem foot yesterday just to try it and is all I can say about that!

Wow great job on both outfits! I'm sure Peter as well as Tink are going to get alot of attention!

I love it. Did you use a pattern from YCMT? I'd like to give it a try.

I didn't use a pattern from YCMT but here is what I did.
Each square is 5x5.

First tier has 8 squares.
Second tier has 12 squares.
Third tier has 18 squares.
Triangle ruffle also has 18 which match up with the third tier.
Top band shows 1 1/2 inches so adjust for casing with the size of elastic you are using.

I used 1/2 seams everywhere.

This fits my almost 6 y/o daughter of avg height but short legs.

This skirt isn't as full as most, it's only 1 1/2 times instead of 2 (which gives you the full horizontal twirl), but I was working with only a set number of squares in the pack.

A few more pictures.

This child has the weirdest modeling poses I have ever seen! Do you ever wonder what they are thinking when they "strike a pose"?

Can anyone guess who made this gorgeous Tee?

This outfit was totally CASE'd!

Lisa Zoe made the Aurora, but did she make Chip and Dale too?

I love your use of rickrack in your Mickey outfit. The applique looks great!

Your children are stunning!

thanks for the simple instructions! It should make this easy to follow! Well maybe not EASY, but ABLE to follow

Love, love, love the outfit. The colors go so well together and I like the rick rack, too. Great job!

I got some flannel last winter at JoAnnes. I guess you keep an eye out on that site "that must not be named", you'll come across some of it. It has a yellow background.

I too have a yard of flannel, probably from ebay, it is the yellow background. No idea when I got it!

Could either one of you post a picture of it so I have an idea what it looks like? I'm glad to hear there is some out there!

Such adorable outfits! Your daughter is precious! I like her poses!

Cute top!

Yes, I know "fabric row"! The exact address is between 10795-10901 Harry Hines Blvd, Dallas TX. I got familar with that area real quick after we moved here. It's actually several warehouse facilities that sell both wholesale & to the public at great rates. The 1st trip can be overwhelming, because the places are gigantic with room after rooms of bolts & notions. I feel light headed & giddy, just thinking about it.

Have to be careful & prepared when you go, because it's deep discounts & sometimes discontinued fabrics. So know exactly how much of what, in what color, style you're looking for. It would be impossible to go back & ever find the same material again if you run short of something.

When I was looking at interior fabric to do the livingroom, I took my favorite top of the line swatches I'd collected from the other stores. Then I narrowed my selection down that way. If you do the research & planning before shopping there, it can truly pay off-big time, on costs. Especially with interiors!

Oh, I wish I could go there!

Hi everyone, trying not to apologize for being off-topic, but maybe I should apologize for venting a bit. I'm still trying to recover We leave for our Disneyland vacation on Saturday and I'm having one of those everything that can go wrong moments. DD sprained her ankle Friday, just found out I have a slow leak in my tire, and now developing a toothache, which never happens to me of course. Oh yeah, then there are those wildfires. I truly do feel for the people who have been affected by these fires and I know it is much more important than my silly vacation. That being said, on with my story. Today I decided to check out what people were saying over on the Disneyland side of the Disboards. I wasn't too worried about my vacation. However we were booked to stay at a resort (where we stayed on our honeymoon) near Escondido (a bit north of San Diego). Dissers were saying Anaheim is okay but stay away from San Diego so I started investigating. My resort's website said they were closed until mid-way through my reservation Now I understand that they may have been too busy running from fires or something to inform me of this. However I booked my trip through RCI who just sent me a happy "here are some details for your vacation in a few days!" email today. I came very close to driving 10+ hours and winding up with nowhere to stay! But happy ending, I was able to book the days we needed at a resort we have stayed in before right across the street at Disneyland. And hey, we will be muuuuuch closer to Disney and will just have to spend more time there. Unfortunately this is all costing way more money than we had planned. Okay, thanks for listening. DH is working late and I'm still coming down from panic mode.

Wow, you would think that RCI would have let you know about the hotel! I'm glad you got things worked out though!

Wow! That is waaaayyyyy too long without an epidural. I had an epidural with my first and it was heaven! I progressed too quickly with my second and only received Stadol. I don't know how that happened. I was in labor with her for about 7 1/2 hours. I HATE Stadol. That second labor was not good.

My third, I went to the hospital and as soon as I saw a nurse, I demanded an epidural. She just kind of looked at me and said let's see how I'm doing. I KNEW I didn't want to go thru another labor like my second. When I was settled in bed, they tried giving me Stadol. I said NOOOO. I wanted an epidural. Well, DS decided to enter this world before I could get one. He was born less than 45 minutes after I got the the hospital. I had no pain medicine. I actually did better with him than with DD#2. But 36 hours? No way, no thank you.

Oh, my babies weren't very big. DD#1 was 6 lbs. DD#2 was 5 lbs. 10 oz. DS was 7 lbs. 7 oz.

I knew everyone would find this very fascinating.

I do find it fascinating!

I looked on the YCMT website and can't find those.. What are they called?
Gooosfraba!!!! It will all work out in the end and we are here for you to vent!!!

I added a link to the fur cuf crochet and knit patterns to the bookmarks site under applique and embelishments. You will have to sign up for the site to view them though.

Goosfraba! Funny!

Ok I just have to tell you gals- my husband just offered to help me sew the applique mickey heads

What a sweet heart!!!!

If you go to lionbrand's website and register so you can get free patterns, there is a very easy way of making those fur cuffs. You basically use a hair elastic and do triple crochets with a chain in between until it is full.

Lucinda

That's the one I added to the bookmarks.

Welcome Lucinda, tell us a little about yourself!

I'm the kind of person where almost everything goes wrong too. I'm sitting here with a terrible cold and we leave in 2 days...My Mum is also sick and has missed 2 days of work, and she is supposed to go with us. The poor thing even dragged herself out of bed to go and buy a costume for MNSSHP. I don't even know if we will be going now...I can't see wearing a heavy hot costume with a fever..yuck....

Aww, I hope everyone gets to feeling better soon! Here, let me go find my stay well/get well pixie dust for yah!

 

[Cindy B Good]

I'm baaack.....fell asleep on my posts last night!

Disney 4 Me: thanks for the encouragement! You can be my DIS board persoanl trainer any day!

Revrob: I didn't think about printing it out, that's a great idea. I just can't believe no one's made an outift like this 'round here. I'm putting it on my "to do" list & will premiere it on this site in the future!

Georgia Aristocat: I loooovve the Mickey dress! Your 1st applique? I'm impressed, your stitches are perfect! It looks amazing!
"And. Just because - pics of my kids. I made the Peter Pan outfit for my son for our trip in December. Some wise people once told me that so few people dress boys up for the parks, that it makes the ones that do REALLY stand out. We're going to try it."
Cool duds on the little dude! I was thinking of making a Peter Pan/Robin Hood outfit for my youngest too. We dressed him as Buzz for the Block Party Bash at DL & he did catch a few extra looks. Plus, he had fun being his hero for the day!

 

[Cindy B Good]

Ok, let's see if 10 post has me at the point I can post these photos.....

Drum roll please, (Oh, I'm so nervous)......

This is the Mickey quilt I made for the plane ride to Disneyland in May. Cuz did you ever stop to think how many cooties are on those airplane blankets? Ewww! Plus, what's more cozier than a quilt? No one slept on our west bound late night flight but me-but I used it! I'll have to get a full shot of it later.

This is the back of the weighted vest I made for DS(5) who has autism. Long story behind the applique....

This is the front of the weighted vest. I don't like it at all, it's too home made looking & I wanted to tear it out & re-do just a plain denium front with apps. Alas, I ran out of time before our trip, sigh. Thank God he didn't even need to wear this creation! (This was one of many miracles, for our dream Disney trip!)

These were the T-Shirts I made for our entrance into California Adventure, our 1st day at Disneyland. I went thru multiple brands of transfers, before I found one that worked & ran all the ink out of the printer. That's why only the lil DS' have the wording "Our Family Dreams Coming True" on 'em. We love Brother Bear!

 

[disneymommieof2]

Yeah you got it!!!! Sooo cute-All of you- Love all the boys in the camo shorts!! I love brother bear too. Makes me cry every time!!
Your applique looks great!!

I'm in Dallas too! McKinney, actually. I haven't been down there yet but I had heard about it from Childress Fabrics in Frisco, TX (I think they said they own some of the stores down there too). Childress has mostly interior/upholstery fabric, is it the same there or do they have fabric that you could use for clothes too? I need to learn how to make drapes so I can have some window treatments, I'm going to have to check it out!

 

[LisaZoe]

A few more pictures.

This child has the weirdest modeling poses I have ever seen! Do you ever wonder what they are thinking when they "strike a pose"?!

LOL, I shake my head many times at what Zoe considers a good "model" pose. For some reason almost always it involves having her tongue extended.

Can anyone guess who made this gorgeous Tee?

This outfit was totally CASE'd!

She looks like she's having a great time! Sorry she didn't get to wear all her custom outfits. I'm sure you'll think of some place where they'll work.

he'd look sexy in anything...hmmm or nothing!

LisaZoe"OK, I was at the mental image of Captain Jack (the real one as played by Johnny Depp) in a tutu. He could SOOOOO pull it off and make it look hot."

!!! Johnny Depp could pull the tutu look off, that's for sure!

Or he could just pull the tutu off! Yummmmm....

Better yet!

Now I would actually pay to see him in a tutu. The man is hot hot hot. Don't tell my husband thats why i go to the movies with him.

It's amazing how well he does creepy crazy but still makes it sezy. I don't think another actor could do it nearly as well.

Hey, I know you!

Lucinda

Hi Lucinda!

Lisa Zoe made the Aurora, but did she make Chip and Dale too?

Just the princess tee is from me.

DH is working late and I'm still coming down from panic mode.

How come DH's always work late when things to wrong? That is the story of my life! The smoke detector needs a new battery on the top of a 14 foot ceiling, DH is out of town. My 230 lb dog throws up in the middle of the night on my bedroom floor, DH is out of town. My children throw up, DH is nowhere to be found! I hope everything works out fine for your hotel stay. I'd be a little upset with RCI if I was you! Thank goodness you checked on your hotel before you left! Just remember, you'll be at Disney! It wil all be worth it in the end.

I did not applique, the only thing I can sew is decoupage pants! The shirt was made by a very talented lady here on the Dis, all I did was buy it!



I don't have a close up yet, but I will take one soon and post a picture.

Could it be LisaZoe?

Wow! That is waaaayyyyy too long without an epidural. I had an epidural with my first and it was heaven! I progressed too quickly with my second and only received Stadol. I don't know how that happened. I was in labor with her for about 7 1/2 hours. I HATE Stadol. That second labor was not good.

Oh, my babies weren't very big. DD#1 was 6 lbs. DD#2 was 5 lbs. 10 oz. DS was 7 lbs. 7 oz.

I knew everyone would find this very fascinating.

Stadol does not work for me either. I just act like I'm drunk but I still feel all of the pain. With DD4 I had stadol and my husband, nurses, doctor would come into the room and they would be talking but I couldn't even get my eyes open. I'd answer their questions but according to my husband my words were slurred and I'd usually preface it with I can hear you but I can't make my eyes open! My doctor finally came in and said I needed to sleep it off! A drunk, pregnant, about to deliver, first time mom! I must have been an Ob/Gyn's dream!

I'm in Dallas too! McKinney, actually. I haven't been down there yet but I had heard about it from Childress Fabrics in Frisco, TX (I think they said they own some of the stores down there too). Childress has mostly interior/upholstery fabric, is it the same there or do they have fabric that you could use for clothes too? I need to learn how to make drapes so I can have some window treatments, I'm going to have to check it out!

The name Childress sounds familar, but I can't recall if any of the warehouses have signs as such. There are mulitple warehouses & wholesalers. (The whole area is a wholesale market for just about anything. If you have a tax id, or small business you can get access I couldn't have! Bonus! Just be sure to use wisdom & caution in some areas, the neighborhood can be seedy. You know in TX it's legal to carry a firearm, right? )

Some shops do cater to the interiors, a lot don't. Just have to be able to take your time & look around, ask questions. You name it & they've got it! Exquiste silks, hand beaded exclusive fabrics, cottons for quilting, leather, tons of notions, etc. etc. There's even a great little shop down there that does sewing machine maintanence & repair. (I've got to get mine in to them sometime soon!)

I bought all my yardage when I sewed all my 1st DS' nursery stuff. Also bought yardage for maternity clothes. Then once we had 2nd DS & had the house, I bought all the interior fabrics for curtains, linings, cornice boards & pillows in our livingroom. You can really get some great buys! It's hard for me to restrain myself there! I've avoided it for awhile, intentionally. Check it out, when you can!

 

[sahm1000]

Ok I just have to tell you gals- my husband just offered to help me sew the applique mickey heads cause I said I was scared to & had to practice first and thought I might just puffy paint seal them. He does not usually get into my crafty stuff- He is a car guy and is a welder by profession so it was totally unexpected- not to say that guys who are interested in those things can't be interested in sewing, it is just very unexpected from him- hope that makes sense. He said he used to be really good at sewing- Not sure when that was, but I guess I can see where he might have picked it up- He grew up with 4 sisters and a brother that is 8 years younger than him. I told him about "our" tom and showed him a couple of his customs. Now as I am typing I am wondering if I will be having competetion for the sewing machine - Doubt it, but it was so sweet for him to offer to help me out. We'll see how my practicing goes......I might just have to take him up on it We have 8 days to take off One Row left on the mickey head countdown!!!!! I think I'll be finding it hard to sleep from here on out with all the excitement and list making and to do's rolling around in my brain.........How will I make it through I'll be exhausted by the time we actually get there Alright I better try to get some sleep, I swear the kids know when I stay up late and then they get up an hour early the next morning just to teach me a lesson
I'm also considering a PTR and wondering if it is too late to start with only 8 days before the trip- what do you all think- I have already been taking pictures of stuff I have bought and the clothes we have made. Oh and I have another OT question- Do I need to reconfirm my ADR's I was reading in a book to reconfirm all reservations 1 week prior to the trip, Does everyone do this- is it necessary to make all the phone calls and the waiting on hold, we did use a TA so do I just need to call her??? Not sure what to do. Sorry for the long post- just so much going on in my head. TIA for all your help!!

If you're going to try to applique, make the investment in a clear embroidery/applique foot. Someone (maybe Susan or Nana - sorry I don't remember who!) on the board was very kind and helpful and suggested that I buy one. I took their advice and did and it made it so much easier! I know they sell them on but I sometimes need to have the instant gratification of the item in my greedy little hands and found it at a sewing store in town. The store where I bought it had the snap on kind for $9.95 which was a lot cheaper than . Also, the store was a locally owned store not Joann's or Hancock's. Check around, for that price I was thrilled!

I am an anal retentive planner and I always double (okay, sometimes triple) check all of my reservations (dinner ones too!). For me the planning is part of my fun. I guess I get to look forward to it more!

LOVE the fur cuffs. My sister told me about those (she has a friend . . .) Anyone willing to sell - send me a PM. I'm in the market . . .

Okay. This is what I have been working on lately. I have not been diligent. And I have a bunch of stuff to make. BUT. I thought it turned out well. I love the colors together.

Close-up of my first applique. This was easier than I thought!

And. Just because - pics of my kids. I made the Peter Pan outfit for my son for our trip in December. Some wise people once told me that so few people dress boys up for the parks, that it makes the ones that do REALLY stand out. We're going to try it. The Tink is obviously a Disney store buy.

My grandmother taught me how to crochet years ago and I can still do it today but I have no idea what the stitches are called. I wish I had learned the "proper way" to do it but I think since I know most of the stitches and just don't know what they are called I could figure it out easily enough. I have crocheted on my DDs socks though and added beads and fun fur and they end up pretty cute!


Your applique looks fantastic! Love the outfit and the colors. Great job!

 

[sahm1000]

I need some serger help. I bought a singer serger for the sole purpose of rolled hems. Well, I can get it to do the over lock stitches to finish the edges, but I could not do a rolled hem to save my life. I am following the directions in the book very carefully. I know it is threaded correctly since it does all of the other stitches well. Can someone please give me some sample settings that work for them. I am trying to use cotton fabric and all of the settings in the book are for sheer or very light fabric.

That being said... I LOVE the serger. The edges are sooooo much nicer on the insides of my outfits.

I have been sewing away. I am however still without my laptop, so no pics for a few days. I can not wait to show you all the dress I made Miss. Katie for the pumpkin show.

Thanks in advance for the help. I really need this to work. I bought a rolled hem foot yesterday just to try it and is all I can say about that!

I have no help for you on the serger but I wanted your advice ( or anyone else who has one). I want to ask for one for Christmas and I was thinking I was just going to ask for the Singer that is around $190. I have two friends who have sergers but they have $1200+ Bernina's, and I am nowhere near their league as far as sewing goes and no one would buy me such an expensive gift anyway! Is this the Singer you have? What about the rest of you out there? Is this an adequate machine or should I ask for a gift card and pay for some of it myself to get a more expensive machine?

Ok, let's see if 10 post has me at the point I can post these photos.....

Cute outfits! The vest doesn't look homemade to me! I know you said there was a story behind the applique, we want to hear it! Your quilt is beautiful too! Your family is so cute and I love that you're all wearing shirts that are alike.

I looked down this morning on a page I posted on and I made it I have my ears. Mouseketeer Melissa I am so happy. I am with the jr high girls When I am a vet I will be in highschool then. Sorry for the offtopic: I just wanted to celebrate. arty:

Hey! How does CindyBGood get a tag from the tag fairy and she only has 11 posts! Just jealous, that's all! I actually don't think I'm as funny (in my opinion I'm funny!) on the boards as I am in real life (wow that sounds like I'm bragging but I'm not trying to!). Does anyone else feel like your personality doesn't come through right?

Also, about my little dog Oscar! He actually doesn't slobber that much! Most mastiffs slobber all the time but apparently it is genetic somehow and his parents weren't big slobberers(is this a word?) either. You do have to watch him after he drinks though b/c the water just runs out of his mouth (I call these slingers b/c he usually wants to shake when this is happening and it slings it all over the place) in streams and if I let him in immediately I do have to wipe his mouth. Also, his mouth is so big that sometimes food just rolls around in there and falls out eventually and he doesn't even know it. Poor baby, he is a good dog though. I'm gong to add this one story though about why I love him so much. My DD4 (at the time only 2) got out of my house once w/o me realizing it. I had run in to use the restroom (just #1 so it was quick - TMI I know!!!) and when I came back out I couldn't find her. I ran upstairs to our playroom and looked around there. I was calling for her and she didn't answer. I ran back downstairs and looked around for her there too. Still couldn't find her. Ran back upstairs again b/c I was sure I was just missing her and that she was hiding. All the while I had DD2 (at the time just 6 weeks old) in my arms. When I went back downstairs I realized that Oscar was also missing. I ran out to my fenced in backyard and they weren't there. The front door was still dead bolted so they didn't get out that way either. By now I was panicing and I called a neighbor and told her I couldn't find Grace. She said she was going to drive over. Of course, DH was out of town (see my other posts and you'll see my pattern of this!!!). I ran to my next door neighbors who were out of town but who had a pool but she wasn't there. I had my phone with me and I was running to the neighborhood school's playground to see if she had gone there. My phone rang and it was my neighbor. She had found them walking down her street together. Grace apparently decided she wanted to go for a walk and Oscar, of course being the great dog that he is, followed thankfully. Our subdivision was under construction at the time and the workers and taco trucks flew through the streets. I know they wouldn't have seen my little girl but they wouldn't have missed Oscar! Also, who is going to mess with a child when their dog is with them and he's that big? Of course, immediately after that I had all of my doors to the exterior baby-proofed with hotel locks above my head so my little "magician" couldn't get out again. So that is why Oscar is my baby boy! He takes care of his sisters!
