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

[billwendy]

Hey guys! I just joined the board because my son was granted a wish to Disney from Make A Wish. We are so excited about our upcoming trip! I was looking for other people's experiences. Well I came across some children that had received items from The Big Give. I am a sewer myself and I make tutu tote bags. I would love to be involved in some way! Please let me know what I can do. Here are a couple of my bags! These are just a couple:

Stephanie!! WELCOME!!! you would be more than welcome to join us over on the Big Give website. Just click on the link in my signature and sign up!!!!! It would be so fun - those are adorable!! Happy for your son too!!!! What do you have planned for your trip?

Here are all the kids..

I'll copy and past how to thumbnail from the first post:'

"When you click reply, the name of the picture will look something like this, but in [ _] brackets
{IMG}http://1234.photobucket.com/albums/1234/nameofthepicture.jpg{/IMG}
To make it a thumbnail, put th_ before the name of the picture, such as this:
{IMG}http://1234.photobucket.com/albums/1234/th_nameofthepicture.jpg{/IMG}
This generally only works for pictures that were uploaded to photobucket."

How exciting!! What kind of machine did you get?

Thank you for the info on the pictures. I missed it the first several times around....lol.

I ordered the Brother 770 and got my ship notice today!

I don't make pettis, I just order them! Chiffon does not like me.

I have the same relationship with chiffon, but it's really killing me that I can't get one made! I was hoping you would have the super magical tips that I needed.

Cute! Did you do the designs yourself? I did a premade rhinestone transfer for my trip this year but want to try my own next year.

Those are super cute!

Anyone have any good tutorials or pictures of how to use a narrow hem foot? I bought one for my machine and would love to use it but have no idea how, haha. However, I did buy a ruffler foot and used CarlaC's tutorial on how to use and OMG, that thing is the most brilliant invention ever!!!! It rocks!

Thanks

I know this isn't sewing-related, but I successfully made our tie dye mickey shirts for MVMCP! I am in with the way they turned out!

Those are adorable!!

Thanks to everyone who has made a similar dress before me, because I think I CASED a little from everyone on this one. So I think of it as FRANKENCASING.

Also thanks to Heather for the awesome filmstrip design!! Not sure how you came up with the idea for this one, but I absolutely love it!

I am very pleased with how this came out for DGD for our upcoming 4th b-day Disney trip in December.

Love this dress!!

They are images I found on the web. It was really easy, each design took me less than hour to do. I did learn (the hard way) that when you are ironing on the stones, don't move your iron back and forth. Lift it straight up and place it back down.

Teresa - I don't think I ever commented on your twirl skirt. I love it. And I just had to say...the scenery in your pictures is beautiful. I would love to live out someplace like that instead of in the city! Love the fall leaves in the pictures too.

Hi everyone! I introduced myself a while ago, when we were first going to WDW.. I sewed so much for that trip, I think I burned myself out! Anyways, my name is Megan.. I am a SAHM of four, and temporary mom to my 17yo sis in law. You all are amazing, so talented.. and such an inspiration. I come here almost every day to be creepy and lurk! Anyhow, I have a new sewing machine, its a Singer Futura 250. I havent tried to embroider on it yet, but I LOVE sewing on it. Here is what I did for Halloween.. I made the gloves, hairbows, top and tutus. My husband made the Lego.

Here are all the kids..

Great costumes...love the Lego too! And what a sweetheart taking in your SIL.

Is this the one?

Those are adorable. I may have to get those myself.

One of my friends gave me a few bibs she got from a boutique, and I'm wondering if they bought the fabric already vinyl coated or if they made it... Has anyone ever tried melting vinyl into fabric? I'm wondering if you can iron it on or if I'll just end up with one big hot mess

It could be oilcloth. I have seen a lot of things made from that but I can't help you on where to buy it. I don't think I have seen it in the stores.

Thanks

When I got mine, I didn't have a clue. I started looking at tutorials on youtube and found one for my machine. The best investment I ever made. I don't know what I did without it.

Ok ladies (and gent)....per your request, I took pictures of some of the stuff for my craft fair this weekend...warning....picture overload I didn't take pictures of everything but here is a BIG sample of what I am doing... (and on a side note...not sure why my pics are so big...I resized them in photobucket but they are still huge...Sorry)
Here are some of the dresses (I have about twice this many ready)

And some onesies and pants to match

and burp cloths...I just love these.

And I made this little shirt last night for a friend's son...it is my first time using the bowling shirt pattern and I think I am in love with this pattern. It turned out so cute. I can see many more of these in my future.

Thanks for looking....!

Could use some help coming up with ideas for a custom for DD3 to wear at Epcot. I'm going to JA's this weekend to look for that super cute Alexander Harvey print with the Small World kids on it. I don't want anything too outlandish, either a top or skirt would work. I'm down to the wire and wasn't going to make anything but this gang really inspires me!

Thanks for the help

I have a machine that is set up with just a ruffling foot. I put in the time calibrating the ruffler so now it is set to go when I need to ruffle.

Wow you have been so very busy! I love all the cute bibs and dresses. Just love the bowling shirt pattern. Well done on all the work.

Anita, OMG!!! That is a ton of work and everything looks so beautiful!! I hope you do really well this weekend!

Great stuff Anita. Is that this weekend? Or did it happen already? Good luck if it is still to come.

I love the bowling shirt pattern too, just wish it came in a bigger size as I have upsized it a ton for my little guy, and am afraid to go any further. May have to buy one from the big 3 just to get a few of the pieces sized properly, and then use Carla's construction methods.

Had a day off work yesterday and managed to get 3 dresses done. It is the Olivia pattern from Farbenmix and they are for a lady at works granddaughters.

Those are adorable! I dont have that pattern yet, but have looked at it several times...those girls are going to be absolutly adorable in their matching dresses!!!

Another quick question, and a photo to share of what I came up with after my last one.

First, DD9's Sailor Moon costume - a Perfectly Preppy circle skirt, modified a bit, over a store bought leotard. I just improvised the rest. I'd still like to take some good indoor pics of the costume, because the bow was flapping in the wind when I shot these:

And the other costume I made this year, easy as pie - just the vest and holster for my little cowgirl:

Now, the question - Do any of you have any ideas for where to find MLB licensed cotton prints? None of the fabric stores seem to have anything other than fleece.

I think I lost one of my quotes but just wanted to say Thank you to all of you for your compliments and for inspiring me to do this. Even though I have sewn forever, I don't think I would have attempted this without all of your advice and support. So....thank you!!
Tricia - it is this Saturday. I am pretty excited about it. And it is suppose to be perfect weather here in Houston (high 72 and sunny).

These are soooo cute! My DGDs would really like this pattern. It looks really comfy!

Great costumes. Very cute Sailor Moon outfit and that little one is just adorable.

I don't know if you were able to find the material or not, but this is what I made my little one for our trip in Sept. It went together pretty fast (minus the applique words). This pattern has no print pieces - it's all by measurements.

My little one is just over 2 and it was one of our favorites!

In my siggy you can see what I made for last December. It was just a modified simply sweet.

Thank you! We love having her here, but it is a change having a teen in the house! She is from Germany, never having lived in the States and wanted to give it a go for a couple of years.

Your dresses are SO cute! I love them!

Thanks! I have this pattern too along with the SS. I really hope I can find the fabric still at JoAnn's this weekend. Otherwise, i'll probably make her a round neck Princess top.

This one looks like the Criss Cross dress/top pattern, right?

 

[froggy33]

Yep it was the criss-cross. I can never find the fabric at my JoAnns so I hope you have better luck than me! I bought mine at etsy I believe.

 

[froggy33]

What pattern is that? It is gorgeous!

Thanks! It was my favorite and got the most attention. The fabric really makes the difference!

It's the criss cross pattern from you can make this.

It's really pretty easy - like I said you don't have to print out pieces, it's all done by measurements.
