Disboutiquers Part 28 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[4monkeys]

We went away for the weekend, so I am quite a bit behind on the posts. I will have to go back and read later once the kiddos are in bed. We weren't supposed to come home until later today, but ended up leaving yesterday since Allison is still sick and her GI dr wanted to see her this morning. I managaed to finish 2 more bags. I made one for Allison and Skye for our trip in June. SO excited!!

My moms Joanns in MD donated almost 3 yards of the flannel print for us to make pillowcases for GKTW. That's in addition to the ones they are making!!

Off to make dinner!! Enjoyed looking at the pictures on this page. Great job!

Hi everyone! I stumbeled onto D~'s trip report and fell in love with her creations. I then followed her pre-trip report and she linked me to this thread. You are all amazingly talented and I am both in awe and inspired. So much so that I dug out my machine (that was never taken out of the box) bought some sewing/fabric basics and I am going to attempt to learn how to sew.

Aside from a brief stint in Home Ec. 20 years ago I've never touched a machine. So, I plan on starting with napkins and snack bags (with fold over tops.)

I'm am heading back to Disney in July and I would love to be able to make something to take with me.

Please be prepared for me to ask the most basic sewing questions. I can't wait to get started!

I have quite a few more pictures on my blog: The Ultimate Smocked Easter Dress

I was still smocking yesterday morning and ended up staying up to 5am until I got the dress done. After just 3 hours of sleep, I crashed hard this afternoon. It was worth it though...she looked so sweet at church, and this will be an heirloom to pass down.

Simply AMAZING!!! Words cannot describe what a gorgeous dress this is - I just love heirloom items, they are just breathtaking... and yours is for sure!

I haven't shared anything in awhile (heck, I haven't made much of anything in awhile - I've had strep throat 4 times since the end of January and I'm having my tonsils removed in May). Anyway, here's DD' birthday outfit (I made the tiara, too).


IMG_20120318_115625

Adorable! I bet she loves it! I hope she had a happy birthday!

I followed along with your Rufus and what happened on your PTR. Your new baby is adorable! I know that each dog brings something different to your family. Your new little Max must be bringing something new and special to your home.

Thank you Diane - yes, he does bring something new and special.

It an out of print McCall's 5677.

DD is 5 today and I gave her this (among a few other things):

The pattern is Simplicity 1952 and also has some baby doll clothes with it as well.

I cut a top for myself and what will be a "Pooh cuties" themed outfit for our Disney trip for Gracie. I am hoping to make both today (after I force myself to finish writing some test questions for extra $$).

Thanks - for the pattern info. Happy birthday to DD - I just love the baby carrier.

Hi Tara!!! Glad you made it over here - these ladies are a great resource... taught me everything I know.

Oh- I almost forgot, I can share my latest bag, since the person I made it for has received it... For those of you following along in my TR - sorry you have to see it twice...

It's very similar to another Figment UPB I've done...

Great work! I love the border on the dress It turned out fabulous!

I remember your project runway dress -- it was very much my style but I'm glad you were able to rework it into something that suits you better.

Nice dresses. I really need to do my measurements so I can make myself some dresses and things that I will wear. Something that fits over my chest without making my stomach look so huge.

I love how you repurposed everything! It looks really awesome!
D~

I LOVE the stuff you've been sewing for yourself! I think my favorite is the trumpet skirt, because they are so versatile, but LOVE what you did with the other two dresses. Fingers crossed you are MUCH happier with them now and will wear them!

Sunshine

I love how you re-did all the dresses to make them work for you and what you like. I love the dress with the Mickey Mouse trim along the bottom.

Thanks for the positive comments on my projects. I really enjoy making clothes for myself since I have a hard time buying off the rack clothing. It is much easier to find something that flatters your body shape when you make your won. Yes the "new" dresses will get worn, I just need to wait for it to get warmer (or until our August trip, whichever comes sooner! )

I am sorry to hear about your recent bout of illnesses. I hope the treatment will work! That's a great birthday outfit. I hope your DD had a great birthday!

Oh that is such a cute gift! Happy birthday to your DD!

Welcome! Feel free to ask questions. A lot of regulars on this thread started their sewing journey without much sewing experience outside of Home Ec, and they were all making beautiful things in no time!

Your bag and wallet set looks great! Your work is amazing like usual!

 

[4monkeys]

Ok my mom wanted me to clarify, the donation didn't come from joanns but from the sewing guild of the bel air mryland joann fabrics. Sorry for the confusion!

 

[teacher1717]

Ok, I hope this works, I've never posted a picture before (a night of firsts.)

Ok, I realize this is way amateur compared to the rest of you, but, I MADE IT!!!

I'm feeling very pleased with myself, it's a reuseable snack bag (if you couldn't tell .)

It only took me 2 tries to do it.

Morning Sewers!

My mother in law made pirate outfits for my girls for our disney trip in 2 weeks (april 23). Can anyone point me in a direction or place where I can have Mickey pirate appliques on them? I have to get them back though by next Saturday. I am near Detroit.

I have been lurking awhile here.. but I dont have enough messages to PM folks or post images and am running out of time.

I will try and respond more to others to get my post count up.

(the outfits are tiered tank dresses with red solid, pirate print, and polka dot fabric with matching bloomers - I want the red solid part to have an applique)

Welcome to the group and feel free to ask any questions. Youtube is a great resource for sewing videos. It helped me learn a lot of techniques.

I love the new Figment bag. Figment is my husband's favorite character! Your fabric choices are wonderful, like usual!

It only took me 2 tries to do it.

Good job on your first project! What are you going to work on next?

 

[VBAndrea]

Thank you, and yes, she is 8. Maybe she just looks so much bigger because she's sitting next to her peanut of a sister? She's just a smidge above average height for her age, but skinny, skinny, skinny. My other two girls, however, are constantly trying to fall off the bottom end of the growth charts!

Sunshine

I guess size wise she looks very similar to my eight year old, but she has a more mature/sophisticated face than mine does and I think that's what makes her look older. She also has neat hair -- I'm used to my dd's messy mop! But your dd sports the same bruises all over her legs that my dd does

Awesome!!!! They turned out beautiful! Do the girls just love them? It looks you you changed up the lining fabric a bit -- it looks really good.

And yay for the sewing guild donating some fabric! I need to get mine made -- I have either 5 or six yards of flannel so should be able to get 24 pillow covers done.

Welcome! I was the same as you -- had home ec sewing years ago and dove in -- it's fun and addicting and not that hard once you get a little practice in.

Ok, I hope this works, I've never posted a picture before (a night of firsts.)

Ok, I realize this is way amateur compared to the rest of you, but, I MADE IT!!!

I'm feeling very pleased with myself, it's a reuseable snack bag (if you couldn't tell .)

And I see it didn't take you long to get going! Awesome job!

You could try contacting Teresa via etsy -- I think her shop is Princess Heirlooms and I'm almost positive Teresa lives in MI too. Otherwise post a lot and get up to 10 posts so you can get pms -- I am sure there are people available who would pm you that could help.

We all started sometime and practice makes perfect!

 

[DiznyDi]

I'm loving all the creativity on this board!

I'm particularly fond of the Figment bag and wallet and would love to make one for myself. Are you willing to give particulars: fabric, patterns used,ect.... Very, very nice.
As an empty nester with no kids or grandkids to sew for yet, I guess I can put a little time in for myself!

Enjoy your day!

Dorine does bags with her own pattern and does all her appliques by hand. A few people have made similar bags with the Two Zip Hipster pattern from Dog Under My Desk. You can find that pattern on etsy and also on her own website. I've sewn a couple of them and the pattern comes together very easily. I haven't done a coin purse or wallet like Dorine has made but you can check on the Picklepie website for their in the hoop zippered pouches.

Here is my first custom for our August vacation - it's Farbenmix "Uli" top and skort with Heather Sue's Pooh cuties. Gracie insisted on wearing it today, but she wasn't happy with the temperature when we stepped outside for a picture!

I had a productive day yesterday and also made this top for myself - it's not on my Disney list, but it's quick and will be cute for work with a different skirt or pants. (Butterick 5356)

I'm off for Spring Break this week, so I am hoping to get a good start on my Disney sewing, but unfortunately I need to knock out some extra (boring) on the side non-sewing work so I can avoid spending Disney money on car maintenance! At least I can write test questions while I babysit the embroidery machine. I made about $150 while stitching out the Pooh appliques. (Diane, I know I still need to test that last one for you - will get to that probably tomorrow!)

 

[PrincessMickey]

Love this! I have boys so I'm always in awe of all the great dresses and ruffles.

Love all the outfits and great pic of all of them together!

Love this! What a great job you did.If I ever have a girl I would like to make something similar for her!

IMG_20120318_115625

What a great birthday outfit!

Great bags! Hope DD is feeling better soon.

Welcome! You will soon be addicted to sewing. Most of us will recommend Carla C's patterns on the you can make this site. Her patterns are great and you will learn so much along the way with her patterns.

I love your bags, they are so amazing!

Great job on your first project!

Great outfit and I love your top. Looks great on you!

I hope to get a few things posted later today. I have a few errands to run and then hope to sew a little bit this afternoon.

 

[GrammytoMany]

Smile5sunshire...love the Eater outfits on your kiddos and the outfit with the flower on the shirt...I'll have to try one of those flowers.
D -- Love your Figment bag!! Patience does look a little scary...don't think I've seen a button hole maker like that one Sorry about Rufus...MM is so cute.
Sandi S - Pooh & friends outfit is so cute...dd looks like she is freezing.
teacher 1717 - good job on your first project.
4 monkeys - cute bags....

That turned out great! I just love how you put the square of fabric behind the appliques! It really ties everything together. I might steal that idea from you at some point, if you don't mind. No hurry in testing out the applique for me. We had spring break last week and my in-laws are here this week so I haven't had time to do much of anything anyhow. Great that you were able to make so much $$$ while stitching out your appliques!

 

[equinox]

I have been hanging around since the last thread halfway through (I did go back & read about 60 pgs of that one too!) & I love everything everyone does! I got my first machine a few weeks ago for my bday & I have finished my first project! It's for my youngest daughter (3) whom wants to be minnie mouse when asked what she wants to be when she grows up!

sorry that is so big! I will have to read over the photo posting guidelines up front again! I learned that bias tape is NOT my best friend while making this!

 

[Queen of Cumberland]

The outfits recently posted are super cute! I forgot to use the multi quote feature, so I'm sorry if I forget anyone.

PurpleEars - I love your outfits! You are inspiring me to finally start sewing for myself (which is a new thing as I have onl really sewn for others).

DMGeurts - love your figment bag! I have read your PTR and am currently reading your TR. My dd loves your AG outfits and has been encouraging me to make her some for her dolls.

The heirloom smocked dress left me speechless It was amazing.

The pooh outfit and minnie pillowcase dress are sweet too.

Everyone is so creative.

Now to figure out how to post my own pics. Off to read page 1 again.

 

[Queen of Cumberland]

Here are pictures of what I have been working on recently - the pioneer dress and pinafore. I used the Carla C portrait peasant dress pattern and it was a dream to use! For the pinafore, I used vintage instructions as to how to do it.

I am very happy how they turned out and I will definitely be using the Carla C pattern again!
