Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes

[princessstacy]

This is such a great thread! I am totally obsessed. I have only sewed one thing in my whole life and that was in home-ec in high school(and I never finished it), but you talented people have given me hope. Hope that I too can create wonderful clothes. or at least tell myself that. Thanks for all the ideas, hope I can do it, going to Hobby Lobby today. We are not going to Disney until September, so even if I mess up I'll have time to get someone to fix it.

This is a cars dress a put together real quick for dd. I have more Disney outfits for my dds, but don't have pics handy for them right now.

Please please tell me where you got that fabric from!

I just made one . Honestly, I had a large scrap of fabric, it went around the bottom of the t-shirt about one and a half times. I held the t-shirt and fabric up to my daughter, and eye-balled the length to see where it would fall on her legs. I folded over the bottom edge to create a hem (straight stitching) and at the top put my machine on straight stitch with the widest length and sewed all the way around, then about 1/4 inch under, did that again. I had left the thread with long (about 3 inches) ends on each end and did not secure when I did the sewing (meaning no forwards and backwards sewing to put it simply) then pulled the threads gently and "pushed" the material to the center to create "gathered" look. I then pinned to bottom of t-shirt (I had cut off about 4 inches of t-shirt to make length work.) They were turned inside out and then I sewed these together. I did secure the stitching that step. It is by no means perfect, but it is complete. I love it. some site on here has a quote along those lines. I used an old t shirt, and material that I had no idea what to do with, so even if it messed up horribly, I would not be upset. Like I said , I just love it. I just bought several t-shirts, and tanks at Target and Walmart, and "soft book" patterns. I plan on cutting out the square of the book, and apply ing it to t shirt, and then doing coordinating material for bottom of dress. Walmart has these books in Nemo, Pooh, Princess and Ariel. I am very excited!

would love to see photos!

I know it wasn't asked of me, but the cars fabric is at Wal-Mart.

I saw it at the Wal-mart near me on Wednesday, so I think it's current if your Wal-Mart sells fabric. (I didn't realize there were some that didn't.)

 

[dopeysgirl]

currently here in baltimore, walmarts are still selling fabric (i made my ds pjs from the beige car fabric), and they usually have pretty good selection- but anyway, ive heard rumor that walmart (i guess meaning all) will eventually stop selling fabric (and hunting/fishing stuff too). just a rumor i heard, and my seamstress cousin heard too (in virginia). but hopefully we'll get some warning and some good deals on fabric!

Okay all you creative people.

I have this vintage Peter pan panel and have been wanting to do something for dd with it.
The fabric is a wonderful vintage print, I am guessing it is from the time when the movie was released, just from the weight and feel of the fabric. I stumbled upon six of these panels at goodwill a few years ago and have been holding on to them.

Here's the panel............Peter Pan on this is at least 12 inches tall to give you an idea of scale.

I was thinking a sundress...........bearing in mind DD is almost 8. But she loves dressing up and the characters.
Any ideas for an outfit using a print this big??

That fabric is gorgeous!

I think that a sundress would be a great idea for an 8yr old. Also, there is a lot of little pops of red in the fabric, so you could add a red ribbon around the waist of the bodice, or add a red trim a the bottom of the skirt, or even red shoulder straps of the sundress. I love adding an accent color to different outfits.

Great find! Wow, what cool fabric. Love vintage prints. My suggestion would be to make a "peasent" skirt--a little longer--like to your DD shins and let her pair it with a plain tank top to show off the fabric!

Good luck--please post when you've finished the project!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

Does anyone know if there is a place to order the manual of a sewing machine? I bought my mom a kenmore a few years ago.. She never even used it. There is still a piece of tissue paper under the foot lol.. so since you all have inspired me to try and sew she game it to me. She did take the instruction book out and doesn't know where it is grrrr..

I am searching online but I cant seem to find anyting for this machine. Its a kenmore and has the number 15510 on the box.

I went to the Sears part section and it said sometimes there is a 3 digit number ahead of it. I put in "158" since a search seemed to come up with that number for a lot of Kenmore sewing machines. So 15815510 actually popped up a sewing machine. Unfortunately it doesn't show the user manual though, just parts that you order but maybe if you keep digging around you can see if that's the right machine and do more searches with the "158"

http://www3.sears.com/

Hope it helps some.

Edited to add: I found it, under "base assemblies" I did view parts and instruction book came up. You might want to do view diagram to see if it's actually the sewing machine you have. When I did search on instruction it didn't come up but when I did the "view list" it was at the bottom.

Normally if you just contact Sears online or by phone they will send you the booklet if you have the proper model #. My mother worked customer service for Sears many many moons ago and they did this all the time. Lots of folks lose instruction booklets over the years, but most of the time they archive these if the product hasn't been out in a while. So don't be discouraged if you cannot find the actual book online.

Sorry if it's a repeat, It's mother's day & I don't have time to read the last 8 pages to double-check ...
Thank you for your time.

Here are two more dresses I made. DD3's is a pillowcase dress. I'm SO glad to whomever posted the instructions using the binding. I didn't understand the other instructions I had with how to do the armhole. (And I had 4 or 5 different ones!)

For DD5's dress, I used a top from Wal-Mart and sewed fabric around the bottom.

I don't love the fabric. The girls picked it out.

I don't what my next project will be. I'd like to do something for DS, but I don't know what...

BTW...my Wal-Mart stopped selling fabric about a month ago. Just when I'm getting started.
