Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes

[MickeyP]

I have a question about painting on leather sneakers. How do I heat-seal them so the design doesn't chip or scratch?

I think this is the place where the Nemo overalls came from. I bookmarked the store when that was asked on a previous thread.



I thought that was the store where Nemo came from too!

Thanks! It has been almost like pulling teeth to get people to admit to where or how they got their overalls.

I am still waiting for someone to post if there is a particular site that people use for the actual character. Some of the characters are "real" fabric images and not just created from scratch.

I loved all the pictures!!! Too cute! Last time we just got matching t-shirts but I love the idea of customizing it so much more.

Now if I could just figure out something similar for a *gasp* teenager!!! And older boys.

I can't really sew much (in that I can't make a shirt to save my life -- at least not yet but I made this...go figure!!!) So, I'm thinking I just need to make DD a Cinderella type top & I could handle that but if it's a normal shirt I can't.

Looks on bolts of fabric, that is where the characters are coming from that aren't pieced together. PM me if you have any questions, I will be more then willing to help.

From all the overalls I have seen if they weren't made by themselves they are on ebay. I just search boutique overalls. I think I already posted that. You can try particular images but I find not many come up that way. I love to look and search, but I make my own. I am making a pair today in fact! Darn needle just bent though!

If you made that I would have to say you can make anything! Especially with that type of fabric! I cannot stand to sew with it, so loose! Great job on it!

I sew but I am not wanting to create a life like Mickey or princess from fabric pieces. I have looked at bolts, but at least for now, I am not finding much. I am lucky that I am not in a hurry. I am still waiting for the pregnancy to happen! I am just a planner. . .

Thanks!

You sound like me, a big planner! I think right now the fabric pickings are slim, older styles from ebay might work. I went through all my old fabric and don't have much but I know I sold some fabric panels and pillow panels that were great and that I see on other overalls.

Thanks. There are TONS of mistakes on it (the back was uneven so one side of the zipper in the back sticks up with ummm...no fabric! We had to punt, thankfully she has long hair & it covered up all those mistakes!).

It was for Patriot's day at school when they had to dress up in colonial times. I didn't want to spend $175 on a dress she would wear one time (and she was INSISTING on something like Felicity wore for the ball on American Girl). However, after making it, I think I spent MORE but it became a challenge.

I have made shirts in the past but the hems are always crooked and when it's a shirt, it's *way* more obvious than something like this where I could fudge a lot.

I just think all the outfits here are so adorable for little ones. My DD would not wear them though but she would easily wear something that was Disney that had a more teen/grown-up flair. Especially if I could make something we could match in (being as she only has brothers, she was a little jealous last time with the boys having matching shirts & she had no one to match with).

I'm not creative coming up with stuff on my own but seeing what others have done I can usually then start thinking of something, keep those pictures coming!

lolol like an underground fabric website.

I did look at walmart yesterday. I found a bolt with the princess' and one with ariel l but ariel was huge

I am more then happy to help anyone. I am confused as to why you think that it "is like pulling teeth to get any info". I don't think anyone has any special sources or secrets! From what I have seen it is all normal fabric that has been offered over the years.

Do you have any suggestions as to what stores to look at?

I only have a walmart nearby, Joanne's is a good hour away. So that is the only place I buy fabric, they are doing away with their fabric department cut by the yard though so are unable to order any more fabric at this time. It is a 3 yr phase out so other stores might be different. That being said though, they did have ariel the other day and some princess. I didn't check to see how big the ariel was as PP said it was, it might be too big. Besides that I haven't seen anything in a couple of years that would work well. Most of what I am being seen sewn and sold now was fabric from about 2-3 years ago. Ebay is an option to find the fabric, beyond that maybe a specialty quilt store. I don't have anything like that around to even try though.

ETA: I piece mine together, so haven't been on a search for the perfect size princess, etc but I do buy fabric so am familiar with it. I sold many bolts of what some are using. Just don't have any anymore.

Thanks for your help! The pulling teeth comment was because many people would ask for information but the individuals responding would respond to other parts of the question and never seem to say directly "I bought on Ebay or I buy my fabric at XYZ, I print from a computer etc." Happy creating to us all!

Thanks for all of the help Jessica.

FYI to all... Yesterday I bought overalls at walmart for 5.00. They were in sizes 4 to 14. The long ones. i bought 2 size 14's for my 7yo. I figured I could cut them into shortalls lol
