Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes Part 4

[LisaZoe]

I finally got it finished! It is 4 x 6. I made it for uor upcoming cruise, so I know pretty much what characters we will see. Thankfully it is a lot less than Disney! Those books can get pretty big! The last picture is a metal lunchbox I plan on carrying it in. Since we will be on the ship, I don't have to worry about rain!
I covered 4 x 6 chipboard and punched 2 holes in every piece. The book rings are 2 1/2 inches, they are hard to see because I covered them with ribbons.

Wow! That is gorgeous! I keep thinking about how much I need to get going on a scrapbook/photo album for Zoe but still haven't even started.

Girl, you need to go to bed, you cut 2 inches off her waist? Poor child!!

I wish it was that easy... at least for my own waist.

Good Afternoon ladies and gentleman !

Here is my latest creation!

Here's my last year's Autograph Books:

Done with spiral scrapbooks (small) and scrapbook paper and decoupage glue (Mod Podge) and ribbon.

I do NOTHING to the inside because I want each character to sign in the sequence we meet them. They sign one side with a sharpee marker that coordinates with their color: Pink for Aurora, Blue for Cinderella, Orange for Tigger etc. Then when we got home we got paper copies of the pictures we took of the kids with each character and scrapbooked the page that opened with the autograph opposite. This saves me a lot of time and expense and sadness when a certain character isn't seen.

The mod podge used on the girlish ones has glitter in it and is glossy. I let it dry well and stuck 3-D die-cuts on top and also mod-podged them. It sort of protected the paper and die-cuts from the rain and orange juice spills in the case of a character breakfast. Several thin coats wont bubble up like thick coats will tend to do.

The boys ones aren't as fancy but still really fun. We got a TON of compliments on these books!

Utahmama they look awesome - I'm sure the characters loved them. Were they easy to make?

Thanks for your help this morning everyone! Here is the Princess set with a sash I made.

Cute Cute Cute!!!

I'm not usually a big fan of sailor type stuff, but I really like this! I'm definitely going to CASE this if/when we do a cruise!

You and me both. I was so nervous when I cut it!!! I am glad I did but . . . I went and bought replacement!!

Every time I go to WM I check to make sure they have some so I can get replacement if/when I decide to cut mine! Even if it's imitation replacement, it's better than nothing!

This is what I've been working on. It's for my neice's birthday. And yep, DD wants one too! I'm making a peasant top to go with it too, it is awaiting a ruffle!

The jeans are from voldemort, I have another pair coming for DD. - I'm going to add some bling to the sparkles on the pantleg

When I started this outfit I wasn't too crazy abut the Tink fabric, and I wasn't sure how the two fabrics would look together. Now that it's done, I love it! I hope DN does too!

I've almost bought both of those fabrics several times, but kept putting them back! If I had picked them up at the same time, and saw how well they looked together then I might have actually bought some! Now, I think I might!

You all will just hate me - but I decided to dye a shirt - LOL! I just wasn't happy with the light color - and blah style shirt. This way I can pick a prettier T to start with.

In case you've never dyed before, make sure you use HOT water and just when you think it's time to take it out, don't! Especially since you're wanting a dark purple, leave it in a little longer it won't hurt it. And most importantly... make sure your dye is mixed well before adding your shirt!

Don't you just hate it when your camera won't cooperate!!! I'd really love to see these better. If you do get better pics, would you please repost?

Mom's for Mickey!

Ok, who's making the bumper stickers?

I have to second that recommendation...I bought one in the 70's and it was invaluable so that I could understand what patterns meant, how to set in sleeves, how to ease, putting in zippers, cutting out patterns, everything you can imagine. It is a great book for anyone who wants to learn to sew and who is going from sewing straight stitches to making patterns and piecing patterns (Frankenpattern?) together.

Where can I find this?

Now that is simple enough for me!!!!! Those are adorable!

 

[CastleCreations]

HI,

I have been lurking for awhile. I am in awe of your talent! These clothes that you are creating are amazing!!
I am a fulltime nursing student and don't have the time to sew right now, so I am going to live vicariously thru you all~

Take care,
Jeanette

Hi Jeanette! I'm in nursing school too! Fun huh? Love those care plans! LOL.
My sewing hasn't been all that much lately so I feel a little out of the loop. But I have every intention of catching up this weekend!!

Does anyone remember the Pluto autograph dogs? I love mine. I got it years ago when I first went to Disney World and it is my prize posession. It seemed the characters really took their time and found a perfect space to write on him, and their autographs are perfect....Pluto signed with a paw print and a bone! I always call that my Pluto on a string....I have him in my office at work and everyong admires him...I know this is off topic, but just made me think of him when I saw the pretty autograph books.

 

[bsusanmb]

I have been an RN for 36 years and I wonder who will take care of me one day when all of us baby boomer nurses retire. I am so proud of you for furthering your education and wanting to be a nurse. I LOVE my job and my patients. Best wishes to you...and don't get discouraged...you can do it!

 

[glorib]

Don't you just hate it when your camera won't cooperate!!! I'd really love to see these better. If you do get better pics, would you please repost?

Definitely! I'll try to get better pics this weekend!

 

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

Thanks for all the comments on DD's new outfit! I appreciate it!

The pattern that I used is McCall's M5031.

I wanted to get on and post this earlier, but gave up. The boards kept shutting down. The rumor is that someone was posting some nasty stuff and the moderators couldn't delete it fast enough! Yikes! What was this person thinking!

Can we see pics? Do they still have this? I have not seen one before in WDW. That is a great idea for kids.

Can you post pictures of what the insides look like so I have a better idea? Also, what age do you think is okay to start doing the autograph books? We did the autograph tee shirts (only time we ever did the whole autograph thing) when the boys were 4.5 and 8.5. They really seemed to enjoy it in the beginning, but after a while, it was me shoving the stuff in their hands"Oooh go get Tigger, or Pooh or whatever." I was thinking of doing an autograph pillowcase dress for DD who will be 3.5 on the next trip. She could wear it to preschool on her first day back home. But I am wondering if at three it's more for me than for her???

Did any of the pictures of our "Fries Meet at the Beach" turn out?

Yipee!!! I started a new word!!! I am so excited about the Frankenpattern.

The book is great and really recommend it for anyone who sews.

These are the books I'm lookin for, where did you purchase them? are the pages blank? I want blank pages, not pages with lines (Hobby Lobby has these with lines on them). Are they 4x6 (thats what I want)

I contacted CRICUT about the possibility of Disney Princess cartridges and they emailed me with news that they are planning to release a Princess cartridge some time this Fall. That cinches it for me!! I'm asking my mom for an early Christmas present- the Cricut Expressions machine. If she agrees, I'm getting one tomorrow.

Close up of my applique work:

We aren't going on a cruise, but if we were this would work. Anyway she will have fun wearing it in the park!

Not perfect, but I have been busy with work, and three weeks from today we will be at my "happy place"!

That is so very cute. I love how you always pay attention to the little details like the flower for her hat. If I had your talent I would never buy clothes for the twins again.

 

[luv2go2disney]

SHWWW! I finally caught up on this thread. Somedays that feels like a part-time job! (If only it payed!!!)

There were so many beautiful creations the past few days.
Aimee I LOVE the Belle dress!!!
Tom-The sailor outfit is SO adorable. I love how you can add just enough details to make it stand out.

To everyone else-you have all had some wonderful creations this past week. I had some wrote down but my little DS ran off with the list. Sneaky little stinker...

 

[bsusanmb]

The book is called "Simplicity's Simply The Best Sewing Book" and I saw it on Amazon.com for $15.95 I think was the price.

It is a MUST have for a novice sewer and will teach you everything you need to know....and if you are new to sewing, be prepared to rip....you will need a seam ripper for sure
