Disboutiquers Part 22 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[teresajoy]

I made my very first patchwork skirt!!! This is for another Diser, but Lydia is modeling it for me. I have promised to make her one now!

 

[NiniMorris]

I wasn't trying to order, but the site opens up ok for me.

OK...now I'm really thinking something, somewhere doesn't like me! I can get on if I use Internet Explorer (which I don't like) but not if I use Google Chrome (which I like...and have everything SAVED in!)

My DIL tried to get in at work and she couldn't get in either...

We will try again on Thursday...because I won't have access to my DIL's checkbook until then! LOl

I guess I'll have to just get by with the 15 shirts that I already have bought that need to be finished....

Ideally in the $500 range, but I'm fairly flexible on that. I have a feeling I'll be giving the machine quite a workout so I don't mind paying a little more for it to keep up with me. Conversely, I don't want to spend a small fortune and then discover that DIY embroidery isn't for me.

You can find the brother 750D for a bit more than $500. I think I paid $800. Go ahead and figure in the cost for a good thread set ($100+), some good needled ($10+) and a couple of stabilizers to get you started ($40+).

I have made 2 of these and I have just used disney fabrics that I have on hand. Usually I can get at least a face to fit inside the individual frames of the filmstrip.

For this one I used the largest size embroidery design (~ 6x8)

And for this one I used the 5x7 embroidery design:

Thanks for the info!

Awesome, I just love the patchwork twirls with all the different fabrics. The skirt and your DD are sooo cute!

I didn't get a picture of DGD wearing hers the other night, but I certainly better get some pics at Disney!

 

[ms_mckenna]

I am so far behind I cannot even figure out where I was to start multi quoting! Everyone's halloween costumes look awesome!

I dropped the kitty Saturday night and made Emily a senorita skirt with twirl skirt tutorial. I have decided I no doubt bit off more than I could chew on that one. We got a lot of compliments though.

Then her with the boys I ordered their costumes this summer from a lady in Mexico.

Sadly the best picture I have ... we may have to get redressed up to get a decent one.

A little better pic of the details.

With just over 30 days left before our December disney trip I think I have completed most of the outfits for DGD.

I credit this thread with inspiring me to make this many outfits! It will be interesting to see if she actually gets a chance to wear them all, and what kind of reactions she will get.

I have posted most of these before, but here they are in order and what they are designed to go with:

Dinner at Chef Mickey's

Bibbidy Bobbidi Boutique and dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table (I have since added covered buttons to the drape peaks and center of the bodice)

50s Prime Time Cafe/Hollywood studios

Tusker House breakfast/Animal Kingdom (I may add a minnie head to the tee and shorten the necklace?)

Dinner at 1900 Park Fare (want to make a peasant top to wear underneath)

Small World Dress for Epcot Day

Breakfast at 1900 Park Fare and Hollywood Studios day

Lilo and Stitch breakfast at Ohana and Animal Kingdom

 

[NaeNae]

Im thinking of maybe doing a Disneyland shirt for Billy and I for our trip...should I do short sleeves?

My husband and I went in early December and nearly froze! We went to Kmart and bought gloves.

 

[Disney Yooper]

Here are a some pictures from recently completed Big Gives:

For Juliana I did this Cinderella/stepsisters dress:

What an absolutely beautiful dress!

Very cute love them all!

 

[peachygreen]

All I can say is AWWWWWWW They are CUTE!!!

I love them all, especially the Alice dress!

Everything is awesome. My guys got a full 3 wears out of their costumes this year too. Tyler was so excited about that. "I get to wear it on Friday at school, Saturday at boxing, and then AGAIN on Sunday for trick or Treating!!!!"

Love the little Alice.

I am over my limit on pics here but I just had to say they all look adorable...you did a great job but my favorite is the Alice dress (I am a sucker for anything "Alice").

It all is just beautiful, great job on colour choices for the pirates. The Alice dress is just adorable on that too cute baby.

Very sweet!

!!!

I love everything you posted!!!! Your girls are just so cute too!!! That Alice dress just makes me smile!

Very cute love them all!

Thank you all. I've had fun working on them. I can tell I'm becoming more confident with my sewing hte more and more I sew as I now modify things on the fly. I am so happy with how the Alice dress came out. I used the retro pinafore pattern from YCMT but decided I'd like it better lined so I modified it so I could line it. Next time I think I'm going to make the back so it buttons.

My goal for the week is to make 2 draw string back packs for my neices and make my eldest a Queen of Hearts Dress. I was planning on making one for hte cruise, but I want to try to make it before we go to New York next weekend. It turns out my 2 neices were also Alice for part of their halloween celebrations and I think it would be cute to ge a picture of the Queen of Hearts with 3 Alice's.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good drawstring back pack pattern?

 

[peachygreen]

I have really enjoyed looking through this thread (for hours! ) and seeing all the great creations everyone has made. We just got home from Disney last week, so I thought I'd share a couple pics of what I made. I didn't have the kids model anything beforehand, so everything is action shots.

DD had to have something Tiana:

Minnie for our Chef Mickey breakfast day:

Snow White for a MK day:

Incredibles for Studios - I did the tshirts for the kids and the skirt for DD

Tinkerbell for MNSSHP:

Emperor Zurg for MNSSHP - we forgot the chest/shoulder piece at home, but DS1 said he preferred it this way :

Thanks for letting me share! I can't wait to get started on next year's outfits!

These are all great. I'm especially impressed with Zurg.

Just wanted to share my kiddos Halloween pictures. My boys pants were the Easy Fit pants, the vests were from a Hannah Montana pattern I got for 99 cents at JoAnns during a pattern sale week. And I took the easy way out and used a Woody iron on applique that my mom bought for my boys at JoAnns. My sweet little girl was Alice and I made her apron from the Nana's Pinafore pattern from YCMT, and the top underneath is a portrait peasant. My mom made her the tutu I was so proud of these costumes (I am a bit of a new sewer). Our pumpkins were Lightning McQueen and Mater. I also made them some Halloween outfits... used a HeatherSue design for the boy's shirts and the easy fits for their short. And used the Simply Sweet for my daughter's outfit Thanks for letting me share!

Very cute. Love the pettiskirt unde the Alice.

I have several pages to catch up on. I had my granddaughters all weekend and we made it to 2 Fall Festivals, 1 Car show (@ our church), and had a birthday party for my oldest daughter, who turned 30. Here are few pictures of the DGDs in their costumes...both Tiana!

And in their outfits I made for them to wear to the Car Show @ our church...
(the car behind them in the first picture is my husband's baby)

Now I have to go back and catch up on the last few pages....

Love the Tiana dresses. They are both stunning. The fall outfits are very cute too.

Love all of the Halloween cuties...so many Alice's this year!
Gianna decided that this would be her first Hallween NOT going as a Disney Princess, so she picked a witch. Even though I sew, Grandma traditionally makes her costumes, so after much deliberation and design consulations, here is my funky witch:

Great witch.

Ran out of picture room - breaking up.

 

[peachygreen]

Got a couple of more things done on the weekend.

First a Christmas table topper that I am donating to a Silent Auction to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society. It is very similar to one I had done earlier:

Then a St. Patrick's day table runner. I had made a set of 3 table runners (Halloween, Christmas and Easter) for a friend for her wedding shower, now she sd to her sister, that she is only missing a couple of seasons, so her sister contracted me to make them for St. Pat's and Valentines to just about cover the whole year.

A Manhattan dress from the Sewing Clothes Kids Love book for a customer for a Christmas present for her daughter (I can't wait to see it on her)

And a Brooklyn shrug from the same book to go with above dress:

And a quick way to make your 9 yr old boy think you are the best mom ever. Buy a cheapie Walmart hat and embroider a skull on it in the colors of his choice:

Great table runners.

I love that dress - its gorgeous. How hard was it to sew with material like that?
Don't you love the little things you can do to make your kids happy.

Heading over there now!!! How cool for them!!! YAY!!!



Sure you can!!! Especially for Toddlers!!!

These are so cute.

I made my very first patchwork skirt!!! This is for another Diser, but Lydia is modeling it for me. I have promised to make her one now!

Grea job. I'm hoping to try a patchwork twirl soon

Ellen all I can say is WOW! I'm not sure which is my favorite. The Belle dress is simply stunning, the film strip patchwork twirl is amazing. I love them all.

 

[PolyndianPrincessJes]

Aren't you and your family starting to get excited!!!

Excited is definitely an understatement!!!

I made my very first patchwork skirt!!! This is for another Diser, but Lydia is modeling it for me. I have promised to make her one now!

LOVE the twirl!! I think all the patchwork skirts are my favorite things on the thread.



Ellen---meant to quote you, but I must have missed it. GREAT outfits!!




I'm finally getting to where I can follow the thread more often, and you all are definitely inspiring us to keep creating. Our trip is quickly approaching, and although we leave in a month, our bags are leaving in about three weeks. Have to get on it!!!

 

[ellenbenny]

What an absolutely beautiful dress!

Thank you!

Ellen - this is AMAZING!! She will look beautiful!!! When is your trip? Is that Lilo fabric!! ADORABLE!!

Thanks Wendy, we are going Dec 4 - 11 with my Stepson, DIL and DGD who will be turning 4 on Dec 5th. Yes, that is Lilo fabric, isn't it cute!

All of these are so gorgeous! I wish I was a little girl again so that I could wear such beautiful dresses.

Thanks!

Very cute love them all!

Thanks!

I love all of the halloween costumes posted. I didn't make any costumes this year so it is great seeing everyone elses. And we only had a couple dozen trick or treaters here, as it was 40 degrees and raining out that night. Yuck!

Love all the little Alices!

And for fun, since I don't have any little ones any more, here is my 24 year old DS from 20 years ago:

 

[miprender]

Here is my outfit for Joey's Big Give - for his sister Shaelyn

I altered the back of the Emma Swing Top using Stephres tutorial:

Adorable

DH told me today that he'd rather get me an embroidery machine than have me keep buying my embroidered things. So those of you with experience, what machines would you recommend? Any to stay away from? We can't do a super expensive machine at the moment, but I'd like something I can use for awhile.

I have a Brother Innovis-900D, but it also sews. I do so have Hoop envey as this is only a 4x4 hoop. But since my mother gave it to me for free, I can't complain.

DD had to have something Tiana:

Minnie for our Chef Mickey breakfast day:

Snow White for a MK day:

Incredibles for Studios - I did the tshirts for the kids and the skirt for DD

Tinkerbell for MNSSHP:

Those are so cute.

Pictures finally.

Here is Megan as Sleeping Beauty tonight for Halloween. She had a blast. She's worn it part of the last 3 days (Halloween Party Friday night at school, Halloween Party at the Zoo Saturday and Tonight for trick-or-treating)

THe under shorts

Alice's Coordinating Dress

And Both my girls together

Those are so adorable!

....

Love those dresses.

Place the fabric where it goes (one trick is to use glue...I like to use washable school glue sticks. Some people use a spray adhesive, others just place and hope...they all work equally as well!) Press the start button and the machine will tack down the fabric. Remove the hoop from the machine...and cut around the tack down stitch. Place the hoop back in the machine and press the start button again. If you are doing a one fabric applique, it will add the final touches and the satin stitch at this time.


Nini

That is what I do. I do not hoop the fabric, just lay it on top and pray that it stays

 

[miprender]

Everyone is sewing some great things. I can't wait to after the New Year so I can really start sewing for our July trip. DS5 already is getting upset that I have made some items for DD but not any boy things. I told him not to worry.

I've been lurking on this thread for months, drooling over what you all create. I have a basic sewing machine and have done some beginner sewing, but what I REALLY want to do is embroidery.

My DH told me to go ahead and order a machine for Christmas. I searched and searched, but a 5x7 or larger hoop just was not in the budget, so I went with a Brother machine with a 4x4 hoop.

Now I'm worried I'll get it and wont' be able to do much due to the size restriction. I'm mostly sewing for my toddlers, so I HOPE the 4x4 will hold me for a while - if I get comfortable with it, hopefully I can upgrade.

So, those of you with 4x4 hoops - please show me some examples of what you've been able to do to reassure me!!!!

I am actually going to my mom's today to work on our MVMCP shirts. I thought the 4x4 on the adult shirts are just a little too small. So I will post both the 4x4 for the kids and 5x7 for the adults when I finish. But I do have hoop envey

How do you do the repositionable hoops and do they work on a 4x4? Would love to do the name thing also.

I have one of the adjustable hoops for my brother and it does work great if you want to embroider/applique and then put a saying or name underneath. No need to rehoop. Just take the hoop off and reposition it on the machine.

I made my very first patchwork skirt!!! This is for another Diser, but Lydia is modeling it for me. I have promised to make her one now!

That is came out great.

How did I miss some of these They are all beautiful and you should get lots of attention. The trim that you used on Lilo's outfit I used to make DD's lilo dress. (which I still haven't posted yet. Maybe I will post it when DD meets Lilo in 39 days)
