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

[ceemys]

I just spent days going through this entire thread. I just sew basic stuff for my 3 y/o. I have made some dresses for me and my 11 y/o, but nothing major.

I just had to say that I am in AWE of all the absolutely beautiful clothing that has been made and it makes me want to go out and spend $$$ for an embroider/applique machine. lol I went to my old metal Kenmore machine (that I haven't touched in over a month) and made my 3 y/o a dress. I cut out the Mickey from a homemade stencil and sewed around it free hand with a zig zag stitch. I did the ruffle by hand also. No ruffle foot yet either. lol Thanks for looking!

Other than the portrait Peasant to go underneath these, my last Disney outfit is nearly complete! Time to start packing!

This is adorable!! I love the colors and ruffles!

Three weeks from tonight we will be loading up the car to head out to Disney. My DIL just ordered her share of the t shirts..all 34 of them! Hopefully they will get here by Tuesday...Please send Pixie Dust and wishes to me to get them finished in time! I still think I am going to look for that extra long extension cord so I can work in the car on the way! Or maybe just take the machine and finish up every one's shirts each night while they are asleep!

I see no problem with taking the machine with you! I would recommend a power inverter instead of the extension cord though!

These are too cute!!! I love those fabrics together!

Very nice! Is this your first applique? You did a great job! Your daughter is such a cutie!!!

I have a ruffler attachment, but I never use it.

There are some really beautiful new things posted! I especially loved the Cinderella dress for the big give and the film strip dress.

It's been a crazy couple of weeks for me, but I think I'll get a chance to do some more sewing this weekend; spent my lunch break today picking up some fabric.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Had to share this one....Katie had to define two words to the class this week for new word Wednesday. They could be any two words, she just had to define, use word in sentence and draw some pictures....Katie picked embroidery and applique. Yep, her pictures were of outfits with different Mickey heads....gotta know we are bringing them up right!

Hi all!

I'm almost finished with my first Vida. It's pretty darned cute if I do say so myself. The only thing I have left to do is put in the elastic under the arms. I've never seen that before. Is it necessary?

I'll try to get my daughter to help me post pictures when it's done. I have a Simply Sweet and and a pair of Easy Fits finished too. My step sister is letting me use her 3 year old as my sewing guinea pig so it's all for her.

Thanks everybody!

Thanks to all who replied about the 4x4 embroidery size. I got my machine yesterday, and have already done two shirts for my daughters, and have two pair of easy fit pants cut and ready to sew to go with them for our trip in 3 weeks!

Hope to have pictures to share soon!

Congrats on finishing your first Vida! I like adding the elastic - it makes it fit much better, IMO. Scroll to the bottom of Stephres blog to see part 4 of her Vida Tutorial where she inserts the elastic:

Howdy everyone! Sorry I've been MIA. I've worked around the clock to get all my Halloween orders out in time, now I'm playing post-Halloween, pre-Disney trip catch-up!

I want to do something Christmasy for our Animal Kingdom day, since the characters there are in Christmas attire. I thought I'd seen some things posted that combined a safari theme in Christmas colors. Am I losing my mind?????

Thanks! I think it will fit Kenzie better with the elastic. Once I finish the Vida I need to make a nursing cover for their new baby Nina and my DSS. That's mostly a big rectangle of hemmed fabric with a strap so it shouldn't take too long. Then I can ship the whole mess off!

Thanks again!

Congrats! I just got one in July and have used the heck out of it!!! I'm kind of ate up with it really. I buy Heather's designs whether or not I have plans for them and I have started digitizing my own! It's quite addicting. I was a big fan of the "by hand" applique, but the machine is just so much easier!

Have fun!

Sorry I don't post much. I've been lurking and staying busy too!!

Ellarie's 1st gymnastics meet is tomorrow against many gyms in the state. I also found out she has to compete against 7yr olds because of when her birthday fell, bummer! She is dissapointed that she doesn't get to compete in bars because of 1 move she sometimes get!

I don't know if my nerves can handle tomorrow!!!

Will try to post some pics sometime!!!

I'm finally posting what I have been up to

And the Fall Victorian Vida...Love this pattern so easy and versatile.

This floral is so pretty - can u tell me what fabric this is and where it came from?

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

Your projects always leave me almost speechless! What pattern did you use for the Belle dress? I may have to try to make one for Alexa just for fun since I don't see another trip in our near future!
