Disboutiquers Part 17 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

oh I am not ready now to make my own - but I will be in the future, someday. Then again I am always on the look out for a good bargain and if I ever come across the software at a great deal I will get even if I am not ready yet. I am sure that I will be there within the next couple years. I am a very quick learner when it comes to editing and stuff on the computer - with my photoshop things (i do photography on the side.) (I am not the greatest by far with speaking and grammer but I can do lots with software. - I may not be able to explain what I did but I can do it.)

On another note is there anyone that will make an image for someone? Like digitize it for someone?

I think CarlaC's Flouncy skirt makes a great poodle skirt

I second this. I have made 2 from this pattern and dolly skirts to match and they sew-up in no time.
THink an hour or two from first snip to done.

I hope you didn't think I was saying you couldn't do it! I was just saying to be prepared - it's not as easy as I thought it was going to be. I've heard the same thing from many that digitize as well. I'm pretty techie - most software programs don't give me a problem at all. However, this was a little more difficult to learn.

Do you need somethig digitized? If so, the best bet is to contact someone that you know sells, or digitizes for their own personal use. If they have time, most are usually willing to help!

Love all the holiday outfits!

I finally finished DDs dress!
She wants to be a pink princess... not sleeping beauty, just a fancy pink princess. And she seems to like it so YAY!

Its my first precious dress and I like the pattern a lot, so many more to come.

No, she doesn't usually get to stand on the train table... silly princess She has a crown and fancy shoes... and a pink boa (which cracks me up ) to complete the outfit.

in other news Hubby and I (just us) leave for WDW on Friday! He is running the 13K this weekend at the Studios. We were going to spend our days not in the parks or at Universal, but then we saw the deal we could get on park passes since we are race participants... and well, We are going to Disney Parks! I am super excited, and a tiny bit guilty that the kids won't be with us. But we will bring them home something... that won't make up for it, will it? - Oh whats a Disney loving mom to do?

In case anyone here has some great resources, my DS6 was just diagnosed with PDD-NOS, so in the autism spectrum. Hubby and I are in l"earn all you can" mode. Thanks.

Great job on the dress! Have a great time at Disney! My DD (9) has PDD-NOS along w/ other interesting quirks; ask me anything- I may not know the answer, but hopefully can at least help you find it. Also, google autism and your city, there's probably a local awareness/support group, or your states parent to parent; they'll have resources too; and autism speaks will probably have some links.

Y'all put up with my fussing all weekend, seems like the least I can do is post a pic of my first big project. This is for me to wear to MNSSHP Friday night. I'm happy with how it turned out, but next time I'll try it without spray adhesive on the fabric layers...it was an option listed on several of the tutorials, but it made trimming difficult.

Great job! I also find if I'm working w/ applique, it works just as well to finger hold the pieces as they're being stitched. I do use spray adhesive when I embroider unhoopable stuff to hold the fabric to the stabilizer; but then I use a basting stitch also.

Here it is... my very first project. My daughter is going to be the blue fairy for Halloween and my son will be Pinocchio (his isn't quite done yet). I used the Disney Fairies pattern but changed a couple tiny things to make it look more like the blue fairy as opposed to silvermist.

I changed the design on the wings to make it look more swirly

For some reason the underskirt / overskirt thing doesn't look quite right to me - don't know if I pinned it wrong?

Thanks for inspiring me - I am having so much fun learning how to do this!!

Great job!!!

I finally have something to post. DS wanted to be Anakin Skywalker from the Clone Wars. I didn't want to spend the money so I decided to sew. The biggest challenge for me was that there's no pattern so I had to create the pattern by looking at several pictures. The long sleeve shirt is the raglan by Carla the rest I did myself. The tunic part is all one piece that wraps around. I have two hooks that kinda closes it up, I need to move the one in front to make it a tad tighter. I'm not too thrilled withe the shoulder/breast thing but I didn't know what else to do. The emblems are just ironed on, I didn't have the time to attemt to applique plus it was a bit intimidating with all the skinny lines in it. The only thing I still need to add is some sort of belt but I don't know how to go about that yet. He's posing in all the pics so it's hard to see all of it plus he insisted on wearing his Darth Vader gloves.

I'll try to get better pictures tomorrow when it's light out but there it is. I'm pretty proud of myself, I've never made my own pattern before and I think it looks pretty similar to the actual character.

Well done! I'd be too intimidated to make my own pattern, I'm impressed.

Revrob--Love your blog too. How am I supposed to sew when there all these great Blogs to read.


Also am I the only one who can't open any of the links in bookmarks on page one??

Oh no offense taken at all! I am just a major planner!

I am looking for a Princess Leia for my daughter but have not been able to find one yet. I can find jedi Mickeys and a lego Princess leia but not a Minnie one or a regular person one I would love the Galactic Hero version too - infact the other characters as GH would be great if someone had them -mostly the main - Leia, Luke, Han, Chewie, C3PO & R2D2. She would like a Star Wars outfit for HS. She wants to be a part of the Jedi Academy. She has been practicing at home and I would like to make her the outfit by her birthday in March but I know that if someone has to make the design it could take a while. I have seen the Goofy Darth Vader, Stormtrooper Donald & Jedi Mickey.

I'm baacckk!! Hey I used to play on this board alot but I since I have been gone I have had a baby, started a business, and bought two embroidery machines, and sold one cause the hoop was too small!! I have gone crazy, I think.

Anyhoo... I finally convinced my husband to go to Disney at Christmas!!! My kids are super excited for their Christmas present. We are going the discount route, (ie: super cheap lodging $170.00/3 days Bonnet Creek, 1 night at a Disney hotel. 1 day of park tickets, and 4 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas party tickets.) We are going to spend one day just exploring the resorts. I can't wait!!! Now for the hard part... Deciding what to wear!!!!

I have read the boards every once in awhile and try to keep up. Everyone's outfits are absolutely wonderful. Keep up the good work! I am off to add to the board. I have lots of ideas running in my head.

Hi all!!! I am back from my super busy couple of weeks that ended with me being kidnapped by my 3 girls and 6 grandgirls and taken to Disneyland for my birthday!!! For those who don't know, none of my girls live close to me, so they all came into town to celebrate with me!! We all had a blast and I will get some pictures up maybe this afternoon.

How about a minnie Leia:

Her designs are very easy and she is super nice! Give her an image and she can help you! Our HeatherSue also does great work! I haven't given her a job, yet, I have asked several digitizers to help in the past and they are all more than wonderful to work with! If you know now what you want, start asking! Digitizing is not easy. I am not computer savvy, but I can generally work with a program (with the book!) and I have actually only gotten one thing digitized and it took days! I prefer to just ask someone to do it for me!

Everything posted has been so pretty. I have been lurking on breaks and loved all the pictures from the recent trips. I am always impressed by the originality of everyone! And the outfits for upcoming trips are also so cute. Hopefully I am caught up and will stay that way for a while!! And will finally post some pictures of some of the things I have made!

I am super excited, and a tiny bit guilty that the kids won't be with us. But we will bring them home something... that won't make up for it, will it? - Oh whats a Disney loving mom to do?

Hope he does well in the race. I noticed that WDW has a marathon about 1X a month of one kind or another. DH read the El Vaquero Loco over the summer, a 25K and in the mountains.

In case anyone here has some great resources, my DS6 was just diagnosed with PDD-NOS, so in the autism spectrum. Hubby and I are in l"earn all you can" mode. Thanks.

I am a parent of a child with autism, we knew early one there was something wrong but it took me a wasted year of speech therapy before we really got some serious help. The first few months were bad and I cried a lot. It is like a loss of a loved one, because it is. We don't get the happy, loving child, the "I love you" and hugs. Sorry way off topic.

There are great resources out there but be careful. A fool and their money soon part. Do you homework, figure out your plan and don't fall the next great cure. There is no cure for autism, just interventions and hope for making things better. We used ABA, started at 3 and did intensive. 40 hours a week for 2 years. We changed the outcome and DS is verbal and can make eye contact. It was labor intensive, expensive and hard for DS but for us it worked.

Find what will work for you and do it. Don't take no for an answer from anyone. Good luck and PM if you would like.

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

Thank You for the Minnie! It is great! I am guessing Juliet will love this!

It is funny how when you own a DVC you are already planning the next trip when you get home from WDW. I am not really wanting to go back but DSS said to his dad that he wanted to go to WDW. He went two years ago with us and several other people. He seemed to like it but everytime I have asked him to go to WDW with us he doesn't want to go.

When we went to DL and took DS BFF the said child was acting upset that BFF got all new customs for the trip and she was over everyday for fittings. But he still stated he didn't want to go.

Past trip, he told his dad he wants to go to WDW but could not because of school. That is the best reason and it is nice that he loves school. So we are trying to plan for the day after school gets out. That happens to be right with the 7 month window for BCV. So here we are 1 week away from perhaps making our reservations for the next trip to WDW.

I hope DSS will speak with his family and I also pray DH will speak with his ex and explain why I have to know ahead of time. Also that they all commit to DSS going to WDW. With DVC it isn't the end of world to back out but there is so much with me banking points for this big trip.

oh my goodness.... I am home!!! woo hoo... We got home thursday and wow did I feel bad. I had a cold, got a case of heat stroke and here I am. It is tuesday and I am feeling better. anyone ever need a vacation from a vacation?

anyways, thought I would post some quick pics from our trip!!

First day was Pirate day.. Nicholas was not interested in being in a lot of pics.. and he was not ready to meet mickey or minnie!

 

[eeyore3847]

I want to apologize for my lack of excellent pics on this trip. It was raining off and on, and I just did not bring out my camera!
Day 2!
Now, look at nicholas, so not happy taking pics! lol

 

[100AcrePrincess]

Yep! We were there and it was so disappointing for me! It was my first U2 concert (wanted to go the last time they were here in Dallas but I had just had Claire) and I've wanted to go to one of their concerts for so long! So frustrating! I don't blame the band at all. The accoustics in the stadium were terrible and Jerry Jones needs to start refunding money! I will never attend another concert in the Cowboys stadium again. Love your pictures though! Jealous of how close you were! And personally, Bono does it for me!

We saw then in Dallas in 2001, but the last tour we went to Atlanta. It's one of those things that I hope we can always go to since they don't tour but about every 3 or 4 years. You can have Bono, I'll take Larry!
