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

[aboveH20]

I tried reading through the directions posted on the BG board but they don't make much sense to me. I am hoping to sew some this week with my girls while they are on spring break.

ellenbenny posted directions which I used to make mine! I just made another set so I took photos as well, so maybe if you look at her directions and mine, they'll reinforce each other and make sense.

Materials -- 1 yard of solid flannel and 1/3 yard (12") print

1. Hem BOTH cut edges of solid material and 1 cut edge of print (I serged the other edge of the print, but that is not necessary) by folding over the edge approximatelly 1/4" then folding it over 1/4" again and stitching

2. Line up the hem of the print with one hem of the solid material RIGHT sides facing each other. Pin along the unhemmed edge of the print

3. Sew the two fabrics together along the line you've just pinned.

4. Now you're going to flip the printed fabric along the seam you just sewed.

5. Measure UP 15" from the seam line.

6. Fold DOWN along that 15" line. (Hope the photo helps.)

7. Once you've folded the entire length of the fabric DOWN along the 15" line, fold UP the solid fabric along the seam line.

8. When your fabric has been folded both ways, you have one long piece that you will now cut into four pieces. First, even off the end.

9. From that straight edge, measure and cut every 10 1/2 ". You'll end up with four sections.

10. I pin each one four times along each edge. Then sew both seams. Then serge or zig zag seams.

Then turn it inside out and voila - a pillowcase with a pocket - times four!

I didn't mean to usurp ellenbenny's directions, my hope is that seeing it two different ways will help.

Thank you so much! This explains everything! Now we should be able to make some of these this week./ I love your pictures. I just bought some of the same exact bright yellow flannel which I planned to use with the same exact Mickey print fabric! I bought 5 yards of the Mickey print on ebay and I still have most of it left.

Hi all!

Someone recently mentioned that they had found their wire dress form at HomeGoods. I was wondering how long ago that was because I'd really like to have one. If you don't mind, about how much did it cost?

Thanks!

Lori in East Podunk

I am going to answer for Aimee and guessing it has been atleast 2-3 years since she purchased it at homegoods. I got one at hobby lobby and again it has been atleast 2-3 years.

I really like the Gutterman. It's kind of expensive, so buy it while it's on sale! I can't use Coats in my Brother machine as the top thread, but it works on the bobbin so that's what I do to save a little money. I haven't tried Sulky, but I'm going to soon.

There's my two cents!

Lori in East Podunk

C & C embroidery thread does okay in my machine (brother ult 2002d) but I don't really like it. It breaks more then marathon and something just bugs me about it! LOL!

I love marathon and I now forget the first brand I used that I got when I bought the machine. It is mega expensive though.

My friend uses C & C on her walmart project runway brother and LOVES it! On my costco brother I HATE pretty much all embroidery thread. It stands up on it and there isn't anything for it to set on so it doesn't come off right. If I put a piece of cardboard under it works much better. The issue is I use the mini cones and the hole is too wide. Hope that makes sense.

Having 2 or more different people explaining and pictures is always better! The more the merrier!

Thanks for the replies about the thread everyone! I actually think it is user error ....I tend to take the labels off of both ends of the thread...just do for some reason...and I think the residual glue on the spool from the label was making it stick sometimes and totally threw off the tension...I have, ahem, made adjustments!

Thanks again!

[angeque143]

I have looked in Walmart and in Joanns...I am looking for the dolphin fabric to try and make AJ a pair of shorts and Eva a skirt for SeaWorld but have come up EMPTY...Any suggestions?

Found it online!! Thanks ladies!!

 

[DMGeurts]

What about Mulan??? I don't recall you doing her!
Jasmine turned out really cute. So do you list these in your shop and then just remake them as you get orders? Would doll clothes I think that would be feasible, but I don't know how people list outfits that can be made in numerous sizes. You'd really have to have all the fabrics plus extra in case of an oops.

LOL about Mulan... There are two princesses I didn't do - Mulan and Pocahontas... Honestly - I am just not that talented.

Actually, the doll clothes do take me a while to make, just because they are so little - it's really hard to maneuver sometimes - and to do everything on a miniature scale... pretty much everything thing I do has to be modified to some extent. The only bonus, is for the most part, all of the AG dolls are the same size, they don't grow and they don't have an opinion.

I make 2 outfits at a time - it takes me about a week to do 2. Originally, I was going to just sell them in my shop - but someone ordered one of each Princess - so one was already sold as I made it and the other was for the shop. I am not sure if I will pre-sell again, because I can only do two at a time, I don't think it gives everyone a chance to get them.

Since I am only one person, and I work about 30 hours a week - I am just doing a rotation - next I will work on Toy Story - then I am going to create a Fairy line - I would like to do a Villian line - then I will circle back to the Fab 5. I hope to start again on the Fab 5 by mid-summer. I also plan to do some limited edition sets - however - I have no idea when I am going to fit them in, and at the rate I am going, everything I make is LE.

D~ <---- sorry I was so long winded.

So ladies, I am hopping onto your thread. I havent posted on it before and wanted to share something I made for my youngest DD. She is 4 and loves Handy Manny and is soooo excited to meet him in September at H&V.

We had a Handy Manny b-day party when she was three, the cake lady was a tad confused when I gave her a girls name to write on the cake.

Anyway, there are ZERO girly outfits out there for girl Manny fans, so I had to take matters into my own hands and get creative.

I chopped off a pair of jeans and turned them into ruffly capris in primary Manny colors and then using my Cricut, MTC software, paint and freezer paper I made her t-shirt. That was tedious but worth the effort.

She will be the first to tell you that the nose is a little off, but that reminded her of Flynn Rider's nose problems in Tangled, so it worked out okay

Thanks so letting me share.

DD is beautiful! And her outfit is adorable. Someone just posted they got HM fabric from hancocks.

So, we had fun with our indoor easter egg hunt!!! lol

I SEE ONE!!!

I am very happy to introduce my seventh and final princess, Jasmine.

D~

Your doll outfits are just adorable. I don't have the patience to work on something like this. It's that little work that gets me. Kirsta's doll is smaller then a AG, so when i do make something, I have to go to the photo copier and shrink it. I like the idea of a bubble skirt for a Jasmine outfit. I've done short pants in the past.

LOL about Mulan... There are two princesses I didn't do - Mulan and Pocahontas... Honestly - I am just not that talented.

I love the idea of Villians. What's wrong with a story book line? Like, Alice, the mad hatter, Cheshire cat etc.... We can keep you busy.

 

[chellewashere]

Wow have you guys been busy....Are we trying to hit the 250 mark by the weekends end? I havent been on for a couple of days and I cant keep up with all the postings!
Love the Disney clothing, Hanny Manny, cute chick and everything that has been posted
Sewing room AMAZING...would love to have a dedicated space...even part of a space instead of our dining room which is in our living room
Jasmine doll outfit...insanely cute!!

This is all I have accomplished this week First time ever making pleats.

I didn't see any dolphins but www.fabricsgalore.com has some whales and other fish and sharks. I've ordered from them many times-great and fast service.

Yes you are!

Would love to see what you come up with for the villains!

So cute! What pattern is that?

 

[princesssfws]

We're getting down to the wire for our trip in May but as I started packing I started adding more things the baby "needed". So here is my CASE of the Jessie Toy Story dress. The boy has a buzz shirt to wear and the older 2 just won't match.

Lots of great stuff posted but since I'm usually browsing while nursing it gets too hard to quote everyone.

 

[aboveH20]

That was my intent, that if I worded something differently than she did or had a slightly different photo, between the two sets of directions people could figure it out. Once you decipher the pattern it's actually easy and neat that you make four at a time.

I don't think I could have gotten it out without Ellen's directions -- she must have done better than I on the spatial relations part of the SATs.

Thanks!! Its called the Gia by sewsweetpatterns on Etsy.

Not exactly sure what spatial relations are, but I was and still am a total math geek. (Which is probably why I don't know what it means, that would be English, LOL!)

Thanks...not after I figured out what she was saying...did it totally wrong the first time and couldnt figure out why the skirt was so dang big. But after using my trust seam RIP-PER it was quite easy

 

[jessica52877]

I had such a good day at Walmart and their fabric department that Chase had to call us and make sure it was us making the purchase! I thought it was a bit odd because I tend to charge that much but guess it has been a while since it was *that* much. Stupid walmarts without fabric departments! And YIKES to the price!!! $5.47 for just regular fabric!!!!

But I am happy they seem to have restocked. It was not fun tryin to find what I needed in their squished little area but all was well. And thanks to the electronics guy doing a GREAT job cutting my fabric!

Love the princess AG doll outfits! I did a mini simply sweet to match a big kid one with an applique and all. It took just as long! The only different was that I used less fabric! I decided it was my first and LAST one!

LOVE the jesse outfit!

 

[VBAndrea]

ellenbenny posted directions which I used to make mine! I just made another set so I took photos as well, so maybe if you look at her directions and mine, they'll reinforce each other and make sense.

I didn't mean to usurp ellenbenny's directions, my hope is that seeing it two different ways will help.

I never really read Ellen's directions b/c I don't yet have time to make these, but I read through yours and you did a brilliant job. I completely understand everything. Do you care if I copy and paste this over to the Big Give board so it is in the pillow case thread over there (if that's OK with Teresa)?

And that's my all time favorite Mickey fabric. I got a good deal on a couple of yards on e-bay and made the kids outfits for our trips. After that our Walmart had the fabric but I didn't feel I was good enough to sew for BGs at that time so I didn't stock up and now I'm so sorry I didn't. I have a wee bit left.

Thanks for posting all the photos and instructions You did superb!

D~ <---- sorry I was so long winded.

I wasn't speaking about time -- I made a couple of AG outifts and I agree, it's a bit hard to manuever the small armholes and the like. I was talking about fabric -- you don't need as much fabric to make a doll's outfit as you would a dress for a 6 year old. So even if you only buy a couple of yards of fabric you can probably get a few outfits out of it. Certainly would save on storage space!

I can't wait to see your fairies! And I think an Alice set would be cool as well.

The guy who cut my fabric last time at Walmart gave me 1/4 yard extra for each yard I had cut. He told me he gave me a little extra, but I was figuring an inch or two which is what the fabric ladies always do for me. I would have really stocked up had I known! I had only needed two pieces that trip.

I agree though about the prices. I can get sale fabrics at Joann's for less. However, Disney prints are cheaper if I need them right then and there, and they tensd to clearance a lot at $2.50 to $3.00 per yard. I really stock up then.

I have been away for a few days since I had a rough week. I see that all of you have been busy, it's getting close to TMTQ.

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

Great job on the shirt. I hope she had a great birthday!

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!

Great job on the skirt! The model is too cute!

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

Awesome job like usual. Thank you for making something special for this family.

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

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

All of them look great. I like the idea of changing the Insa into a skort. Your work is always so inspiring!

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!!!

Good job on the top.

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!

The skirt looks great. I am sure your dog likes the rag bed even though it didn't quite turn out the way you wanted.

Ok, let's see - I've sewn some things in the last few days.

a tank for A's summer wardrobe (waiting for fabric to come in to complete this outfit)

And I started making this countdown banner for our upcoming trip! I have several more links to stitch, but I'm loving how it's coming out!

Great job on the tank. I like your idea of the countdown banner.

Here are a couple of things I did a while back for a Big Give. It took a while for the family to receive them because they live in Canada.

A belle twirl scallopini set. It was my first time using this pattern and I just loved it!

A pirate outfit for little brother.

They are amazing!! I am sure the family will treasure them for a long time!

Yeah. I'm excited about the Grinch fabric. Some of it looks really cute. It's due the middle of next month, but it is hard to think about Christmas in May.

So, here are a few things I made for the girls' tutors and the students in my class from our co-op.

For the adults...... I had asked is anyone had a pattern. I ended up just winging it.

And for the kiddos.... A smaller version.....

Both the adult and children version look great. I am sure the recipients will like them!

OT: Please pray for the victims for storms in my state -- Arkansas. We had very minor damage - a tree came down in our back yard and hit our neighbor's house. Minor damage to our fence and their gutter pipe. We can clean it up in a day or two be back to normal.

But 3 children were killed last night in our state due to trees falling on their houses. They found a mom holding her 7 year old son in her arms dead from a tree this afternoon - he called her in his room due to being scared so she went to comfort him. Her 18 month old daughter was fine. So so heartbreaking! That happened about just 6 miles from our home. An 18 month old and her dad who she was sleeping with both died and a 6 year died in his home. This just breaks my heart. It puts our lost tree, broken fence and damaged gutter in perspective.

And happier news -- another doll dress for a birthday party.

Sorry to hear about the damage the storm did. The dress looks great!

QUESTION

What can be done with panel fabric? Our Hancock's has Wall-E panels on sale for $1 yard. I bought two yards at one store but another has way more. Would they work for pillow cases for BG's? Any other ideas? Are they too big for the pillows for the GKTW project (I think those are smaller than regular pillows but not really sure as I haven't made any yet). I just feel compelled to buy more of the fabric at that price, but if it has limited uses I hate to hoard something that I won't use much. I bought Tink panels at Walmart on clearance ($3 panel) but figured I could make totes for the ladies with those. Tink is also more popular than Wall-E. I could see myself using those for Vida's as well, but doubt I'd ever have the need to make a Wall-E Vida.

Perhaps they can be used in a skirt (someone posted a panel skirt not that long ago - it may have been based on Winnie to Pooh)?

I haven't posted for awhile, but I finally finished Disney outfits for our trip to DW in a few weeks and thought I'd share.

My DD will be going to BBB one day, so I made her a comfy Cinderella dress. The fabric has glitter in it!!

I liked everything you made. I really like this comfy version of Cindy's dress! Good job.

TMTQ... It amazes me that I can fall behind in one day... Everything is adorable - as always!

Well, I've been sewing like crazy the last few days, trying to finish up a few outfits that I had half finished - I am finally working on my last princess. I hate to say it, but I am a little tired of them, and I'll be really happy to move on to Toy Story.

Anyways - here's Belle. This outfit did not turn out, at all, like I'd wanted it to. I planned to do a scallopini, but I just couldn't get the scallops even - appearantly, I can't do perfect curves - and it really bothered me. So, I went with this skirt instead - it's not my favorite. The lumiere embroidery helps - I did two variations - one with Chip as well (personally, I like the Chip on better). The top turned out cute - the ruffle was really hard to get situated and sewn, I had to rip it out a few times.

And on the other outfit I did - Chip:

And then I did Ariel. I am actually happy with this one. I chose not to do any embroidery work on this one at all, just because there is so much going on, I think it would just detract from the outfit itself. Over all, I think it came together really nicely - again, it wasn't the skirt I'd originally intended for Ariel - I don't even remember which one I was going to do - but I drew the pattern for this one on my own and I really like how it turned out. It was quite labor intensive - but I like it just the same.

I finished Jasmine's skirt last night. It's a smidgin tighter and shorter than I wanted it, but I think I am going to leave it that way. I hope to post pictures by the end of the day.

D~

Your work is always so amazing. I actually like the Chip version better.
