Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes Part 4

[Jen414]

Tom, Congratulations on your auctions! I lost out at the end, but am super pleased for you! Hopefully you will be able to have even greater success in the future! Maybe us women here will finance your next trip to "The World."

I lost too! But congrats!!! I think you're going to get a following if you post more. Please let us know if you're ever going to do customs. I'm sure lots of people (like me ) would be very interested.

I have been to every joanns the only hancock and a all the walmarts I can find within 2 hours from me and I cannpt find any minnie dot fabric. I need two yards if any of you have some and are willing to part with would you please pm me. I am working on the girls xmas day disney dresses. TIA.

Sending you a PM!

I love this top and want to CASE it(if you don't mind) What pattern did you use or did you just wing it? TIA for any info!

I started with McCalls M5306. I don't remember who showed us (many moons ago) about the scrunchy straps, but I used 3/4" elastic in those and added the ric-rac, obviously. I also used larger buttons than it called for on the back. Otherwise the top is pretty true to the pattern. The pants are capri length, but since we are going in December, and especially how I did the two rows of ric rac that look like a cuff, I wish I had made them full length. Oh well.

Thanks so much! I am doing pants to go with it! We will be there the week after Thanksgiving and two years ago we were there at the same time and it turned FREEZING. And even before it was cool enough for a pair of lightweight pants. Thanks for sharing!

Hey all. Hope this is ok to post this on the DisBoards. I submitted a photo of DD8 Sam from this years trip to allears.net's photo of the week contest. And she won ! She is this weeks photo of the week. Here's the link.

That expression on her face is just priceless! Truly an adorable photo!

That's exactly what I was going to suggest. Use a Mickey head & give him a pirate bandana (we have GREAT instructions for one here somewhere). Then get one of those iron-on rhinestone tairas to put on it. Or maybe a princess scepter instead of the tiara.

Here's the pic we're talking about for those that don't know.

Oh, I am so going to have to do something like this for DD's pirate petal skirt! I hope that's ok! It's just so cute!

My favorite! Thank you for sharing. Did you have the most wonderful time?

No, we had a MAGICal time. (we were on the Disney Magic)

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

The Chip and Dale shirt are painted, from

Could it be LisaZoe?

You got it!

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.

Yeah, like a trip to Disney World

Okay, I don't think this is going to work. But my scanner is acting up again, so right now I can't get a picture of the fabric. If you look at the jacket, there is a little peice of it on the sleeve about Docs head. And next to the cuff of the sleeve (same side). Unfortunately, Dumbo is under the sleeve. I'll keep trying to get a scan of it.

Okay, now is this just supposed to make us all yearn for all the cute Disney fabric we will never have?

 

[jham]

A few more pictures.

I was rapidly scrolling down a page as DD10 walked by and saw this picture and cried out "someone went on a Disney Cruise?!" I had to laugh that she recognized your verandah. This is a girl who thinks she should always pose with her head tilted to one side (or giving the peace sign). I'm loving your cruise photos. Did you build sandcastles with Navardo at Castaway Cay?

Sorry!! I haunt the "site that shall not be named"! Plus when I see it in the store, I put some away. Right now, I'm using the patches to make a twirl skirt. I think I'm going to take a pair of overalls apart and attach it to the bib.

 

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

I am officially turning into the daughter my Mother always wanted!

Yes, I know how to crochet too! Geez, I am such a girl!

All this talk about fur cuffs got me thinking!

You all are a bunch of ENABLERS!!

Princess Leigh thinks she's a "model"! Good thing you can't see her legs in these photos!

It's loose. Two layers, one shorter than the other, and it is split in the back (closed with buttons). When I get it back from my button-hole maker I'll take pics of the back if anyone wants. (How sad is it that I can construct almost anything - I can actually sew quite well, but I can't do buttonholes??? I MUST buy a new machine.) Thanks! Can't wait to make the rest of my creations!

I've been inspired by folks around here. WAY inspired. Which reminds me ~ DOES ANYONE HAVE A GOOD TEMPLATE TO DO A LIGHTNING MCQUEEN APPLIQUE AT THE TOP OF SOME OVERALLS???? I've done some searches for coloring pages and haven't found anything simple enough. Yet. I must keep looking. And find the right fabrics, too. sigh.

That was fast Tom! But doesn't she look so cute! I wish my DDs would pose half as nicely (or even hold still!)

Okay... Now that I have fraken-patterned this halloween twirl.... my mother and I are EYEBALL deep in fabric and I'm starting to wonder if this birds gonna fly... I have visions of a LED ZEPPLIN in the works!!!

So heres what I did. a Faux corset top w/ straps w/ a ruffle around the bottom of the bodice. then the normal patchwork formula. I decided to add ruffles to the bottom of each tier of the skirt and a double ruffle at the bottom....I have over 23 feet of ruffles all said and done( i always do my ruffles 3x the measurement of the piece it's getting attaced to-I hand ruffle too)... Lily's only 2 is she gonna e able to lug this dress around? And is my corset top gonna support it? as I'm sewing the final ruffles, I'm getting scared..

Do we have a pro around to advise? PLEASE???

...t.

No real advice, but I think it will be ok.

I'm in the same boat. I'm working on a 33ft ruffle at the moment for a 4 yr old. I keep looking at this pile of fabric & thinking "I could make MYSELF a twirl skirt out of this much fabric."

oh since everyone has loved fur cuffs. wanted to post what Jojo wore to school today. she took these pics 2 weeks ago but finally got to wear the outfit! yep and those are removeable fur cuffs!

That's really cute!

DS was sitting here when her picture was up and was like is she my friend. I said yes, then he said I think I saw her on Barney, and after a minute of thinking hard, he says yes, the one where they were fingerpainting.

She is too cute! And the cuffs are great too. Around what age did you learn to do all this stuff? I would love to teach DS, what a great husband he would make!

For Dallas' lightning mcqueen I had bought the wilton cake pan and on the back where the frosting directions are was a simple tiny lightning. I used that, scanned it and enlarged it. I bought the Cars Magic Artist book but there just wasn't one to my liking in it. I did use the little blue guy out of it, can't think of his name right this second. I sold the pan or I would send you the picture!

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?

I do have the Singer that is around $190. I got it at Wally World.... I had not shopped there is YEARS until I joined this thread and now I can say I have been there so many time the girls at the fabric counter know my name

I do like it. It does everything I need it to do. Well... if I could figure out the rolled hem settings it would do everything! It is nice machine and worth the money. I love the way the edges look after they are serged. I think it is a great serger for the money and for someone to begin with. I would have loved to have lessons on using it. However I have done fine with just reading the manual.

sahm1000 - I have the singer serger that cost about $190 - I got it at WalMart. I love it! It does everything that I need for it to do. I'm not a seamstress, I just sew for my DD, and have begun to do a few things for others. It works perfectly fine for me. I wish I would have purchased it sooner.

Can you please share which settings you use for the rolled hem? I am at a loss. I have tried everything.

Camping - I wonder the same thing!

and what in the world is a rolled hem?

and I haven't been keeping up with this thread lately, but adoption - did your youngest get her cast off yet? I can't tell in the pic in your signature.

I saw some others answered your questions about the rolled hem. I will add that once you can do a rolled hem you will not want to hem any other way.

Yes, Katie did get her cast off. She has had it off for 2 weeks and is still walking like she did with it on. I will ask her why she is walking that way and she rubs her leg and says "cast" I think it still feels a little weaker than the other leg. The doctor said it could be months before she is walking normal. It is cute, but sad. She is kind of walking with a limp and dragging her leg behind her. It however is not holding her down. She is back to jumping and climbing. That child is dangerous Thank you for asking about her.
