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

[GrammytoMany]

Smile5Sunshine,

Can I ask where you get all the little various trinkets to put inside the eye spy bags??? I've always wondered that.

I picked up the different trinkets (mostly buttons with the back loop snipped off) at Michaels and Joann's. They sell little packages of themed buttons. I also added coins and charms off of old jewlery. You could also use the tiny Barbie or Disney characters little shoes or pieces that have lost their mates

I've tried 4 times to send this message....but it keeps telling me I'm one character too short. I keep adding words but still no go...so lets see if it works this time....

WARNING Picture overload

So I finished these shirts a few weeks ago but I don't think I ever posted these. If I did sorry for the posting again

MONSTER INC

When you wish upon a star

Matching PJs

Remember my fiasco with the shorts just shredding last year.

THESE Turned into

THESE Turned into....THIS

So I decided to make this

Wow those all turned out so well. I love how you repurposed the material from the shorts into skirt panels. That was very clever. The Pinocchio things are very cute but I LOVE the Monsters Inc stuff.

What did he do to them????? I see according to your sig he's still your Prince Charming so I guess they are salvageable.

I honestly don't know what he did, but it seems that the knife sharpener apparently doesn't angle enough for scissors, so the stone dulls the edge . My neighbor is a retired grocery store butcher and he usually does them for me. On the up-side all my kitchen knives are perfect now, and I have been hinting they needed to be sharpened for a week or so.
Oh while I am thinking about it... Did you say you found fabric at Wal-mart? None of the ones here in Suffolk , or the one Chesapeake Square Mall has fabric.. the Franklin one did carry it, but its been years since I was down that way. I did see online price for fabric isn't too horrible and its free ship to store

Michelle I totally love all the outfits

Military Hwy Walmart in Norfolk has fabric and in Virginia Beach the one on the corner of Princess Anne and Lynnhaven just added fabric and the one by Lynnhavene mall on the corner of Phoenix Dr and Sabre has fabric

Great job on everything! I am sure your family will be the best dressed family when you are there! It is really neat that you repurposed the shorts into a skirt. I like how it turned out!

Thanks

I am in LOVE with the Monsters Inc. set. I have a Monsters Inc. themed outift floating around in my brain too. (Now if I could only get around to actually SEWING it...)

The Pinocchio set is great! You all will look super sharp in those!

The PJs turned out great as well. You sure are covering ALL your clothing needs for this trip and pulling out all the stops!

HA HA HA about being so broke that you actually have to REUSE fabric! But seriously the Stitch skirt is ADORABLE! LOVE IT!!
Sunshine

Thanks... I love having an excuse to make PJs and what better than a vacation to Disney

Wow, you have been busy! I love what you did with the shorts!!! You are so clever!

Thanks

I had no clue Jessica sold applique designs. Is she on etsy? I knew her user name at one time but now I'm clueless. Would you be so kind as to either post it here or pm me with it. All the designs look great -- I can definitely believe some took forever as they are detailed. I don't mind time consuming as long as they turn out OK.

http://misskenziemac.com/store.html Here's the actual link. She just added some really cute ones too.

Hi girls! Has anyone seen an in the hoop project to make minnie ears hair clips. I made some for our trip last week and while I got a million compliments on them, they are not perfect. I took pieces of felt traced a circle on them sewed them inside out, tried to sew a circle (that was the problem!!!) left a hole at the bottom. Turned them inside out stuffed a circle piece of stiff interfacing to hold them up then glued them to a french barrette, then glued a bow to them. The circles that I stitched were a hot mess! I just need something that will stitch out a perfect circle!!

Look in her clippies category -- she has mouse ears alone or a Minnie head with a bow or a bow alone -- she has tons of mouse parts as well -- she has three pages of clippies and ITH designs

 

[TinkNH]

I just bought and downloaded the easy fits pattern to make shorts for DS...this is my first attempt at sewing something with an actual pattern and directions. If the printer cooperates hopefully i will have something to show later tonight or sometime tomorrow!

 

[Jaylin]

Thanks Andrea! I've got a bunch of Heather's clippies, love them too. But this is what I need.

Literally, I just need a circle!!!!

Oh and I wanted to share a few pics from our trip. Of course I was sewing up until the last minute! I was making the minnie ears the morning we were leaving!

The grace dress was new for me this trip and I just love it! It's very easy and such a great dress for appliques!

This was also my first try at the Insa....loved them too! They were perfect for my star wars outfits above!

I also was stumped what to do with the pirate league's mermaid makeover. This is what we ended up with, loved them!

It's funny we we're walking thru the park after their makeovers and this mom rushed over to me asking where I bought their outfits that she just had to get one. When I told her I made them she was like, . She thought she could just walk into a store on Main street and get a custom outfit with her child's name on it!

And then I fell in love with these tanks from the disney store, and I just happened to have fabric that matched perfect! I loved these too!

It's such a shame, I get so burned out after a disney trip that I never end sewing just regular clothes! I'm cleaning up my sewing room today from the tornado that hit and I'm really going to try to sew some everyday dresses for the girls!

Ok just had to ask (dont really get to post much more on here but I had to stop and ask) but what did you make those skirts out of? They came out gorgeous!!
And I see you stayed at AKL. How was it? This will be our first trip staying at Kidani and we are super excited.

First of all, ACCKK! Sorry about the pics being so big!!!!

And here's my secret for the skirts.....got them at Costco last year!!!!
They were hanging in the girls closets and I realized how absolutely perfect they were!

Oh, and you will love Kidani! We bought our DVC membership there, and this was our 2nd time back there. I actually really love it. We been everywhere and honestly this is one of my favorites. From our experience their busses are by far the best! And we love their pool and amenities. And we tried Sanaa this trip and loved it! PM me if you have any questions about it....the only downside is they don't have their own counter service, but other than that the place is perfect!

 

[4monkeys]

IT"S HERE!!! IT'S HERE!!!!

So excited!!!!

 

[DiznyDi]

I love getting a new machine! Have great fun with yours! Can't wait to see your first project.

If anyone lives in So Cal, M & L fabrics in Anaheim has a whole end cap of Disney fabric for $2.49 a yard. Granted, it was older stuff, but they had Cinderella, Pinochhio, Bambi, tons of Tianna, and the coordinating prints (like the star print from the fairy from Pinocchio and the little blue crown print from Princess & the frog. M & L 3430 West Ball Road Anaheim, CA 92804 (714) 995-3178

I bought so much. . .now to just get motivated to wash it and actually sew it into something!!

So my loving wonderful, truly thoughtful husband decided today was sharpen the kitchen knives day. "Great idea" I said, "they are getting a bit dull" I said... I was busily not paying attention to him and he tried to sharpen ALL my sewing scissors. I know not a huge deal I will take them and get them sharpened tomorrow. I was in the middle of finishing a quilt binding too. They won't even snip a piece of thread. I had to use an ancient pair of safety scissors tonight on my binding threads. I feel better now.

Oh no! I guess he tried his best.

So I did it. I bought the pattern for the Audrey Skirt.
I don't have a serger, but I like the look of the rolled hem. I looked through my sewing machine's instruction book, and I do have an Overedge stitch foot as well as a double overedge stitch foot. Would either of these give me the same effect? Or should I buy a rolled hem foot?
It will take me at least a week to sew this, but I promise to post a picture.
Thank you for the encouragement to try my feeble sewing skills on such a cute skirt!

Congrats on the pattern purchase. The sewing machine won't "fold" the edges over for you like a serger would on a rolled hem setting. You would be better off with a narrow hem foot. I can't wait to see your finished product. I am sure it will be cute!

I thought there may be some circle gadget for quilters...though it has been a while since I looked at the quilting supply section.

Thank you for sharing the pictures. I hope your family had a great trip. I really like the outfits that you did.

IT"S HERE!!! IT'S HERE!!!!

Congrats! I even saw some Marathon thread in the background! What is your first project going to be?

All of your outfits are gorgeous and I love the mouse ears! What about using Heather's circles -- can you adapt those to an ITH project? Sorry, I've never made anything INH so I don't really know the process and if you are able to make a regular design an INT design but her applique circles go as small as 3" If I ever go back to Dis can I please case your idea for dd? That is if I can bribe her into putting her hair in piggies. Your Insa's are gorgeous -- that is my go to skirt for dd now.

IT"S HERE!!! IT'S HERE!!!!

So excited!!!!

Wonderful! Now get to work -- you have less than 3 weeks!

I wish I lived in So Cal -- well, I really don't so I guess I should say I wish we had those deals here! SOme of the older prints are some of the better prints. Happy sewing -- you'll have to post a photo of everything you bought.

My project today...
I took a $3 t shirt and added a ruffle to the bottom to make a skirt for DD4

Pretty happy with how it came out...just hope she will wear it!!
ETA:

now if i could get her to wear underwear..it would be a win win!

I'm hoping I can pick up some cute shirts in two weeks to do that too also when I hit the new Disney Store Outlet that will be opening not too far from me. I had been envisioning doing this for a while but I have already given away my boys shirts because a good pirate's shirt would look awesome with a skirt attached !

Walmart...they had a table of assorted Disney stuff all 2-3 bux. I got DD9 the same shirt but she passed on a ruffle

I saw my Walmart had moved it all but no prices on anything so I figured I didn't need them.
