Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes Part 4

[livndisney]

Guess what happens when you have all the suitcases unpacked and all the laundry done?

ALL of the customs don't FIT in the closet!!!!!

And I haven't started the holiday outfits yet. (But I have lots of fabric and ideas for them)

Soooo I guess I am going to have to take the gymboree stuff out that DD doesn't wear anymore to make more room

PLEASE be careful with the tulle and the iron. My mom burned a hole in my wedding veil by trying to iron the tulle on it the mornig of my wedding. It was a hotel iron too, and they are just unpredictable as far as temperature I think.

I want to use it just for the steam setting, you know hang the skirt and just steam around it. Also need it for cotton. Thanks to all who replied. I am such a nervous wreck right now. I HATE to fly but I LOVE Disney so.... we fly.

This is wonderful!!!! The fabric selections are gorgeous!! I love it!

This is amazing!! Love it!


AIMEEG Love everything you do -- I can't believe you've only been sewing for 3 months. You are one talented cookie!

Castlecreations Did you happen to see Brent on the Travel Channel last night? He sounded like he has an accent of some sort. Immediately thought of you when I saw him. DH thought I was off my rocker when I started screaming -- there's Brent!

When we travel with tutus, I pack them in a ziploc bag, squeeze all the air out, and when we get there I use a hair dryer to fluff it back up. It works like a charm! I don't get the dryer real close to the tulle, just sorta under it, blowing up into the layers of tulle. I fun my fingers through it at the same time. I'e never tried an iron.

Okay. I need to learn how to applique. That Boo and Monsters logo look fantastic!!!

On to other things - I need advice. I am making my son a Woody costume, but, of course, the yellow and red plaid fabric apparently does not exist. Even on Voldemort. SO. Should I just buy yellow and a red fabric marker? Will that work? I can wait until after I cut the pieces to draw the lines, right?

I really just want to find a piece of the fabric. But I think (after this much searching) that if I did it would be prohibitively expensive.

I need to post a pic of the patchwork twirl I made for my daughter on Saturday. Not disney, but still cute, in a hippie-ish sort of way.

We did Woody two years ago and this was my solution, a sharpie and a shirt. Turned out perfect and to this day it looks like this still. I have it hanging in his room. Hmm, should have taken a picture of that so you could see better. It never bled or anything. I know i washed it once for sure, not positive if ever again. This was a simple costume, since making the vest and bandana didn't take too long and we wore regular jeans.

Okay, I am a lurker and an occasional commenter but now I want to post pictures. I finally figured out what the problem was with photobucket (for others having this problem, if you have norton on your computer it won't let you log on to photobucket for some reason, so you have to disable norton - I usually set it to disable for 30 minutes - and then log on). I am now ready to post pictures if someone will tell me how. I asked a while ago but now I can't find the instructions and 800+ pages is too much for me to go through! Thanks for all of your help!

Love all of the outfits you've all created. The mermaid is unbelievable! I can't believe you've only been sewing for 3 months!

Here's what I created before I left for Chicago. Tessa picked out the fabrics, the thread for the applique, and the pony fabric (it's Starcatcher for all you Non-Pony fans). I probably wouldn't have used the 90's-esque pink and purple fabric, but she loves it and I think it turned out all right. I made my own pattern for the top!

She plans to wear it to Downtown Disney when she gets the "Box Full 'o Ponies".

Oh! I love that! I think she did a great job picking the fabric - what better to go with MLP than pink and purple? And the applique looks awesome! My DD is just getting into MLP and just saw this and said "ooooh pwetty pony!"

You know, this is the kind of thing that makes me NOT try applique! You do an AWESOME, perfect looking applique and you say "Boo went ok - not great, but ok" I hope you are only referring to how hard it was to do, and NOT the finished product! I mean, this looks PERFECT!

Thanks so much!! It was hard to do! And, of course I can see all of the imperfections. You're always your own worst critic, right?

Thanks everyone for the compliments! I truly appreciate them and they make it not so hard to go try Mike and Sully. Maybe when the kids go for a nap.

That is a GREAT tip - thanks!!

That looks awesome! I wanted DD and DS to be Woody and Jessie last year, but gave up when I couldn't find any fabric. Your trick worked great!

packing for our trip... OH MY only 2 days 11 hours and 4 minutes left till take off!!! AAAACCCCKKKKK. do you know how hard it is to pack in secret??? our kiddos do not know about the trip and I can only pack when they are in school and have to hide it all before they get home. OMG!!!! I must be insane. BUT I have a ????? does All Star Sports have irons in the rooms???? I have tulle skirts for the girls that need to be wrinkle free as well as cotton skirts. and camp shirts for DH and Ds. HELP!!!!!!!!!! I am a panic stricken women who has to keep using backspace for mistyping.!!

I know that tulle can melt easily. So for my DD dance recital she had a tulle skirt. We just streamed it in the bathroom. We put it the room and turned on the shower. Then after a few mins I could literally pull on it gently and all the wrinks feel right out.

Thank you! I thought this was going to be the solution. I made a t-shirt for my daughter with sharpies once - bled like crazy, so I guess I will just get a fabric marker.

So, here is the skirt I made her. It didn't turn out as well as I thought it would. But she likes it and insisted on wearing it to church yesterday. It is cords and some sueded poly.

Dont forget to get this pic of our kiddie with their customs with Minnies sewing machine

how cute!! i took one of Mya when we were there in June..she was so sick

You can't see the rhinestones micky head on her tank top in this picture.

 

[disneylovinfamily]

Wow, aimeeg, that mermaid costume! It's even better on! No surprise she won the grand prize!

Ok, I was going to wait until I had the whole outfit done - but, well, I can't - I just have to share because I'm so excited! I'm making a Monsters, Inc. outfit for DD - and I have the t-shirt finished. It's the first character I've appliqued. Don't think I'll be doing any princesses any time soon, but I do have to do Mike and Sully for the skirt. Boo went ok - not great, but ok, so we'll see how the other two go. Anyway, here she is. . .

This looks fantastic!!!!!!

Here's a few pics from our photopass, I still need to go through and delete all the bad ones from the camera.... I've flipped all these photos in photobucket, but they have a mind of their own. Now they decide to behave.....

At Pirate and Princess Party I forgot to mention the hook. Suddenly she wanted to be captain Hook, so Daddy made her hook, from the top of a hanger in the closet, a plastic cup, note paper, sharpie, clothes pin, and tape. She never put it down, she carried her little loot bag on it, and would hold it up at the treasure spots!

Her Epcot outfit, that hardly anybody saw, it rained alot, so she went barefoot, and was covered in a poncho in the stroller, so much for the shoes! Note my skirt I made it at the last minute, I got lots of attention too. Someone even offered to buy it off of me. Sorry, I need some sort of bottoms for the day.!

Here's Wendy checking out DD outfit. She got tons of attention this day! She was showing Wendy her brothers on her necklace.

The highlight of her trip, I have video of her jumping up and down, screaming, ANNIE ANNIE ANNIE, as they walked to the photo spot!

Family photo op with Crush

My little princess

Gosh darn it, aren't we stinkin cute!

Did anybody answer you yet? Now that you have them loaded onto photobucket all you have to do is take the IMG code that shows up under the picture and when you are in post reply just paste the code into your post. You're almost there

 

[karrierock]

Traci, I see you are from MO, I was born and raised, all around Springfield. Where are you at?

 

[lori123]

Looks great! Looking forward to the finished product!

Love them! Love how the Hannah turned out!

Thanks so much! It is not perfect - but DD says it is her favorite so far - I think it has more to do with Hannah than my sewing ability! LOL!

Are those yellow mickey head buttons I see? Those are totally cute and I love the way the Hannah Montana one came out. I bet she'll never want to take it off!

Ok, here is how silly I am. I had all those leftovers from Megan's FSU outfit so I decided to make myself a skirt. I took some old jeans that were a little tight in the butt and cut them off. It looks pretty silly, but I'll post pictures anyway when I'm done so ya'll can laugh at me.

Yes they are Mickey buttons you see! Thanks! She does love the Hannah outfit! Can't wait to see your skirt!

Those are cute. I think the HM top turned out very nice, is that the one you dyed?

Thanks! I ended up finding this tye dye top in a bag of summer clothes for DD so I just went with it.

Thanks everyone for your compliments. but I didn't make the Raggedy ann, bought it at the party store for 25 dollars. LOL...I couldn't even buy the trim for that much. She loves it and it's a size 2, ahem, did I mention that she's a size 5. She has to suck in all of the air in her head to get it on...
Poor thing...but she really wanted it.

What a deal! I would buy it too!

Here is my DD modeling her halloween outfit for out Royal Caribbean Cruise. It's for dinner before she changes into her costume (which she hasn't decided on) this isn't done yet - I have to add straps (I pinned the elastic to it tonight) and hem the skirt... oh yeah and add ruffles to some khakis for her.

Please excuse the dora pj shirt and striped pj pants - this is what she chose!

And for good measure you're daily dose of cuteness.... my 17 month old has figured out how to climb on chairs... this is where I found him!

Love it! The Dora PJ's go great with it! Your DS is too cute!

We're off to the World for a short weekend in 12 days! DD5 think's we'll never get there!

Skirts are done, need to decide on the tops:

I'm a quilter, I like patchwork. She likes long skirts (this goes to mid-shin). We like the red top with it, so I need to work with that and ditch the white I was planning on. 2.25 yards of fabric, 1/2 spool of thread, and since this is the second, I'm dying for my gathering foot to come in.

And the last: I'm applique-ing a striped Mickey to the bodice of this. Not so much of a hit, as I've got a girl who likes skirts, and full skirts at that.

Deb

Great job Deb! The time will fly by if you are trying to finish outfits!!! LOL!

Hi all we are off to start our holiday from Australia in 15 more sleeps and will be in WDW in 25 more sleeps so am trying to finish of the outfits I with the help of my DM and DMIL. This is the first one. My DM did most of this and I thankyou for the person who originally inspired this for me I think they had Alice on theres. I know my stuff will never be as great as the things lots of you make but I think she looks pretty good in this. Thanks for all your help and tips.

Sam from down under
PS sorry for putting customer in the title should have been custom could not work out how to change it

This is FABULOUS! I love the pretty colors - and the applique work is just great!

Is this the shirt you dyed? The outfit turned out great!

Nope - I found this one in a bag of summer clothes I had stored in Emma's room.

I'm ba-a-a-a-a-ck!!!

Very nice work. I just love your DD's hair cut- it looks so adorable on her. She has a very sweet look about her.

Welcome back! Thanks for saying that about DD - she is really loving her hair.

I have been meaning to tell you just how cute this turned out!!! I really love it. The purple is perfect and I think it looks better than a darker would.

I love the yellow mickey heads. They are too cute!!!

Great Job!!!

THANKS!!! DD loves it too!

LOL - BREATHE!!! I am with you - we leave on Thursday!

Here are the pics from the weekend. I have to go run errands so have a great day!!

WOW - those look even better on! You did a fantastic job! Your DD is adorable!

Soooo I guess I am going to have to take the gymboree stuff out that DD doesn't wear anymore to make more room

ROFL!!!

I want to use it just for the steam setting, you know hang the skirt and just steam around it. Also need it for cotton. Thanks to all who replied. I am such a nervous wreck right now. I HATE to fly but I LOVE Disney so.... we fly.

I am a nervous flyer too - which doesn't work well for DH since he is a pilot. He tells me I'm not allowed to be a nervous flyer - and shakes his head at me when I close my eyes and grip the armrest in flight!

KARRIEROCK Your pictures are AWESOME By the way, loved that you added the children around the world to your skirt.

Thanks! We had a few good photopass guys! The skirt was simple, I bought it on clearance at Kohls $9, (it's sort of hard to tell in pic, but there's a solid white band at the bottom, the rest is white, with white textured polka dots) I already had the fabric, so I cut them out, ironed to wonder under, ironed to skirt, then single stitched around each one. I then washed it to give them a slight frayed look. I used all the faces in the fabric except two I think. Just didn't fit.
