Disboutiquers Part 24 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[jessica52877]

I'm full of questions today: I want to make my DS (6) an Imagination Movers outfit (coveralls). I searched through some old threads and saw that Toadstool had made a really cute skirt / coverall outfit for her DD. My questions are:
- where can I find the IM designs to create the name tag and the the main emblem design?
- how would you suggest making the coveralls? Is there a pattern that someone might be able to suggest?

TIA

I don't see the logo but convo or pm her and ask. I assume she made it too.

I saw a coveralls pattern on YCMT under the BOYS section... I kept going back and forth on whether to order it because I know my little guy would love it ... but doesn't NEED it ... so I decided to wait ...

Three days later I was finally able to upload photos to photobucket.

Here is what my finished pillow looks like,

and since you actually make four at a time, here they all are.

But why stop there?

Great job. I love the fabric combos you used.

Thought I'd finally get around to posting that Mary Poppins dress. It's a frankenpattern really, although I kind of followed the shirred corset pattern from ycmt.com. I decided to shirr the back (like the fitted look). Of course it should have been easy peasy, but I did it on the wrong side first, and then for the red I used a thread that didn't really shirr well, so I had to take it apart a few times. Plus the bodice is a bit longer than I would have liked, but I think it turned out pretty good all in all. My daughter is going to wear this to 1900 Park Fare breakfast!

And I even managed to make something for me! I needed to test out a new applique, so I made this to go with my daughters EPCOT princess dress. Luckily we're both relatively small so I was able to get both out of just 1 yard of each fabric. However, making this pattern...I believe it's called the Amelia shirt...made me realize that must bust to hip ratio is way off. I'm pretty pear shaped so the bottom literally just fits around my hips but it works. I even modeled it for you! That's rapunzel on the bottom there. I won't wear it with a shirt underneath, but you could.

Thanks for looking. I guess I had better get ready for work now!

Jessica

Gorgeous creations. Mary's dress is fabulous and you are adorable as well!

I wanted to share the shirt I made for our daughter for her 5th bday. It's not sewn by me, but I did design it, print it and press it. We have a commercial printer and heat press so it should last a long time. Also, you can't tell from the pic, but the bottom says "best. day. ever" with each period being a minnie head. She actually noticed the teensy tiny bows so the trouble to layer it all on there (it's sparkly and metallic) was well worth it

She loves Tink too so I had to include her as well!

Amazing work!

I hate to admit it, but I have had the Audrey Ruffle Skirt pattern for probably 4.5 months and just used it for the first time today. The Gymboree near my house had a huge mega clearance sale and I got my DD the kitty tee for $2, I thought it would look cute with a kitty print skirt... and since I now know how to use my serger I was able to do the rolled hem on the ruffles. I am in love so much easier than pressing small hems or praying the narrow hem foot doesn't stitch weird. Anyways... picture overload, but I am proud!

Very cute!

This is just lovely. I am scared to try this along with my serger. I actually need to find time to just get to work with it.

I can finally post this out fit I did for Hannah's Give. this is for Abigail and I combined a bunch of different tutorials with different things I liked

It's great, as usual! I love that Tink fabric!

 

[tricia]

I hope I didn't miss your trip.... I had to work today.

Here's a link to some of the fabric - at this point I'd take anything Harry Potter...

I did look for you, but it seems there is nothing there right now. Plenty of Elvis, and the Beatles in that section, but all out of Harry Potter. Hope you can find it somewhere.

Ok everyone I've decided to make a rag autograph quilt. I've never done a quilt before but the rag quilt doesn't look as scary as others lol! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

Here is a tutorial for a rag quilt.

Got some clothes done for my little cousins. They had birthdays last month, so these are late B-Day presents from me.

For Amber:

Winnie the Pooh Insa and Brooklyn Tank Top.
HeatherSue embroidery and the I made the Insa a skort instead of having a double skirt.

And I also made her a Piglet T-Shirt.
Raglan by CarlaC and Piglet from HeatherSue

For her little brother Riley:

Thomas the tank Engine Easy fits and T-Shirt

Lightning McQueen Bowling Shirt

I love everything, but the bowling shirt is absolutely fabulous!! I hope you don't mind if I CASE this idea for my boys...I've been sitting on that Lightening McQueen fabric forever wondering what I'm going to do with it! LOVE IT WITH THE CHECKER FABRIC!!

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

I just want you all to know you have inspired me. This was my 2nd ever sewing piece. It's not Disney but I am making a Mickey/Minnie inspired one for MK and a top for Epcot as well. I don't have an embroidering machine so nothing like that yet

Just wanted to say Thank you for your INSPIRATION!!!

 

[squirrel]

Would a darning foot work okay for embroidery? My machine doesn't have an embroidery foot and the regular one is very hard to see where I am sewing on an applique. The darning foot is just a round ring and I think I would be able to see where I am sewing better than the one I normally use.

Is it better for me to try and purchase an embroidery foot if one is available?

I honestly don't know, but I would think that you should just try it on some scrap fabric and see how you like it.

Everything is awesome! I must really put the Insa skirt on my immediate to do list. I love the looks of the ones you made. Those tissue paper patterns just kill me though. I dread tracing mine.

Fabulous job! Now I can't wait to see the Minnie Mickey one.

I have no clue what a darning foot looks like, but try it on some scraps and see if it works better for you. I bought an embroidery foot and it made hand applique so much easier. You really have to be able to see what you are doing (and even with seeing I don't always get it right!).

 

[VBAndrea]

I made this skirt for dd for Valentine's Day ~ but it's mainly kitties with some hearts so she wears it all the time. I took photos when I made it but she had on a shirt that was way too big and it made the skirt look awful. It looks much better with this shirt:

I still want to applique a t-shirt with a cut out of the kitty fabric, but not at the top of my priority list right now.

And I made this rag bed for my dog's crate. Didn't pad it nearly enough so I now use it as a throw over their crate bed and it's so thin they just dig in it and scrunch it up. I'm really mad I did not make it thicker

Thanks for looking!

Love the set and your daughter is such a cutie patootie!! Oh, and I don't even know how many patterns (ycmt.com included) I have purchased and have yet to use!!!

I love your design, it came out really nice. The Tangled movie is really cute and I don't think it is as "dark" as some of the early Princess movies. I still need to see The Princess and the Frog.

Thanks! I totally agree with you about it not being as dark. The "mother" isn't really mean/evil, she's just kind of a "B". (If you know what I mean ). I didn't really have a problem with Princess and the Frog (liked it a lot as well actually), and my 2 year old daughter wasn't bothered by it. But it is kind of dark - a lot of voodoo. I know people that actually left the theater because of it!

Gorgeous creations. Mary's dress is fabulous and you are adorable as well!

Thank you thank you!

The outfits are great great minds think alike i just made my dgs a lighting mqueen shirt using the same fabric a few weeks ago just havent posted pictures yet he wont wear it till our trip in may

 

[miprender]

WOW way TMTQ but everything is great!


I finally finished 22 pairs of shorts.... 11 each for DS3 & DS5. Now I can move onto things for DD. I will post pics after I have appliqued the shirts to go with the shorts.

But I have found a new obsession besided buying fabric... I keep buying plain Tshirts for DD,DS5,DS3 when I find them at the store. I could probably clothes all the kids in my neighborhood now I have so many shirts. But I just think of all the possibilities I can do with those tees.

 

[angeque143]

QUESTION I have been looking for the easy fit short pattern...Is this no longer carried? I only see that easy fit pants and was hoping to make AJ a couple of pairs of shorts for the trip!

 

[cogero]

Angie the easy fit pants can be made into shorts.

I am running to my nephews birthday party. The present is some bibs since he is 13 and special needs my SIL asked for 15 I was able to finish 3 in the time frame given with all my other projects. I gave an IOU

I posted them on facebook and will link here later.

 

[effervescent]

Way, way TMTQ! I keep trying to get caught up with the thread but everytime I come back there's 7 more pages! I'm sitting here waiting on our newest fur baby so I'm taking the opportunity to at least look at everything. Amazing work from everyone as usual!

So, I have been sewing a little bit...nothing Disney related, yet! But, I have a few QUESTIONS

1. I'm starting my "stash" of Disney fabric (before it gets too big)....should I go ahead and pre-wash, or does it really matter?

2. I'm a scrapbooker, or at least hopefully will again, Anybody else out there who sews and scrapbooks? How do you organize the two together?

3. Does anyone know how to find out which Walmarts still have fabric? I'm on the GA/SC border.

4. Anybody interested in sharing pics of their CrEaTiVe spaces?

5. When you buy a fabric with no real purpose in mind...how much do you buy? Although, I'm guessing it depends on how much you like it

I'm always full of questions....Sorry! But I do try to research first before I ask!

~Jennifer

1. I prewash before I put it away, but it's really a matter of preference. As long as you prewash it before you begin your project you should be okay.

2. I'll eventually get back to scrapbooking again myself. I have a craft room with all of my scrapbook stuff, but all of the kids school stuff shares that space so there's no room left for my sewing stuff. I made a corner of my bedroom into my sewing area. When we move again I'll be making sure that I have a decent sized space for all my crafting - I hoard fabric, thread, yarn, scrapbook suppies, ribbons, and beads....lol!

3. Are you in the Savannah area? The Walmart in Pooler still has a fabric department and they usually have Disney fabrics.

4. Eventually I'll get around to pics. I haven't been as accomplished in the organization department as I would like to be!

5. For me it depends on the price and what kinds of things I can use it for. Typically I go around 2-4 yrds.

QUESTION

Looking for Disney inspired crochet patterns for Big Gives...Any one know where I can find some?

Also I recently started with a serger...NEVER used it have to watch the DVD BUT what is an EASY starter project that could be used for a big give?

Thanks so much ladies!!

Check etsy for patterns. I've found several cute Disney amigurumi patterns there.

My tension saga continues! I found the online Brother site and it gave a few suggestions that were not in the manual. Jessica suggested I try a new bobbin. So...armed with this info I went in search of good tension. 20-odd adjustments later...the top looks fantastic and the bobbin looks so so. I try it on an actual pattern on scrap fabric...and I break a needle!

But from the looks of it the bobbin was all funky before the needle actually broke. I am taking a break. Right now I would throw it out the window!

After kiddies come home from school and GD3 goes home, I think I might give it a few more tries before I decide to call and see where the nearest service site is.

What was that I said about being in the black?



Nini

When I had that problem I had a rougue bunch of thread in my tension plates in the thread path.

When Megan and I checked into the POP Century on 3/29 we received a HUGE surprise!

I told the CM that I should have three deliveries....my box, Garden Grocers and box from Wendy....but wait, she said nooooooooooo, you have a lot more than that!!!!

from effervescent - wishes shirts and cute star necklace, we wore these to our get together with other DIS friends when we watched wishes from BLT Top of the World..which Megan is wearing

We can't thank you all enough for making our trip so extra special with all the beautiful and fun pixie dust!
We got so many wonderful comments on our cute shirts and of course my beautiful bag!
all the extra goodies were enjoyed and played with a lot during the trip and will continue to bring lots of happiness to Megan!
You all are such special ladies and will always have a special place in our hearts and of course our memories of our trip!
I am sorry I didn't get to take photos of Megan opening these, she was so excited and had such a huge smile on her face the whole time, thank you for putting it on her face from me!!

Thanks you again for thinking of us, making our trip even more memorable!!

Lisa and Megan

I am so glad you all enjoyed everything! I can only imagine what all those packages at check in looked like. NaeNae helped me out tremendously with my shirts - she did all the wording for me since I cannot understand Stitch Era. Her word files gave the shirts that extra touch and I really appreciate her help!




Well our new fur baby Marley is here and trying to get adjusted, so I'm going to go and work on some shirts now before it's time to go to work.

Thanks for looking!

That skirt is adorable and you're lucky you found a shirt to match perfectly. Annabella still wears her Valentine's outfit too, I just see no sense in sewing something and using it for only one day.

I hate to admit it, but I have had the Audrey Ruffle Skirt pattern for probably 4.5 months and just used it for the first time today. The Gymboree near my house had a huge mega clearance sale and I got my DD the kitty tee for $2, I thought it would look cute with a kitty print skirt... and since I now know how to use my serger I was able to do the rolled hem on the ruffles. I am in love so much easier than pressing small hems or praying the narrow hem foot doesn't stitch weird. Anyways... picture overload, but I am proud!

LOVE IT ALL!!

OOOOhhh!! Pretty set, I LOVE Tinkerbell

QUESTION
Does anyone here have the Juno Janome serger 3434D ? Its on sale at Hancock's starting next Wed for $179. Has pretty good reviews online, just hoping maybe someone here might have some input. Is this a good starter serger? User friendly?

Great job on this shirt!

So adorable. I've been thinking about getting that skirt pattern too.

Got some clothes done for my little cousins. They had birthdays last month, so these are late B-Day presents from me.

For Amber:

Winnie the Pooh Insa and Brooklyn Tank Top.
HeatherSue embroidery and the I made the Insa a skort instead of having a double skirt.

And I also made her a Piglet T-Shirt.
Raglan by CarlaC and Piglet from HeatherSue

For her little brother Riley:

Thomas the tank Engine Easy fits and T-Shirt

Lightning McQueen Bowling Shirt

These came out great.

Great job.

That's a really cute skirt.
