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

[theworldneedscolor]

Hi guys! I'm new to sewing, just finished my first project today (excluding things I made as a kid). It's not clothing, but it's still Disney themed. Is it okay to post pictures of it, or is this a strictly apparel thread?

 

[BabyRapunzel]

As ever, I'm behind on quoting. I just have a minute to comment on a couple things...

Yay! We've got a ticker, too. I know I won't be able to keep up with the conversation, but I will pop in to your PTR to see all your amazing creations!

This is adorable! Care to share your stabilizing 'formula'? It looks so perfectly wrinkle free!

So many other great things posted! I'm sorry not to quote all of them!

regards,
C.

I really had no idea what I was doing or if I got the right stuff. I used this on my first design, so was really just trying stuff out. It is the Sulky fuse n stitch cut away permanent stabilizer (Joanns 50% off notions when I got it). I have not actually tried cutting it, as it can be used as interfacing as well and I'm going to use it on a bag, if I ever get brave enough to start the sewing part. The embroidery part felt relatively easy. I did stitch out 2 designs from different people. I had a glitch with the other design and haven't tried a redo to see if it was me. I got this Minnie from VTU, and this is the 5x7 all stitched, and it stitched extremely well, as did the 4x4. I will use her designs again! Hope to post a sewing project soon, but still editing photopass photos, and I procrastinate.

Once again, everyone has been showing awesome stuff! WTMTQ! I just can't keep up.

Finally got photobucket to work I think, just can't upload on my phone. I have done 3 appliques, this is the first 5x7 size I've finished.

Such a cute design

I am so excited to share this outfit...

I just finished it this evening! It's my own sorta makeshift pattern...though the pirate outfits on Disboard totally inspired me!!! I had planned to applique a Pirate Mickey on it but my daughter says there are no Mickey's in the Pirates of the Carribean! LOL* She loves it...I just took some fabric from my quilting stash to make her scarf on her head...but I think I'm going to look for a skull and crossbone scarf at Walmart...and she wants an eyepatch! LOL*** So I guess I better get on that.

So excited, just wanted to share!

Arrrgh!!! It came out great.

My latest project I whipped up, matching skirts! I think these will be our semi formal outfits on the Magic next week! My flip flops shouldn't have made it into the picture lol.

Love the matching skirts.

Here are the costumes for our HS day. I bought the badge and the belt buckle from Thefeltfrog on Etsy. I used the Portrait Peasant pattern for the dress along with this http://www.crafterhoursblog.com/2010/08/belle-dress-tutorial.html tute for the skirt. I'm pleased with how it came out!!


Thanks for looking!

Great Job on everything.

Here are the costumes for our first MK day.

Dress is SS bodice and a Simplicity skirt and Micky head from Etsy. Shorts are a McCall's pattern with t-shirt tie applique from Etsy.

You have been sewing up a storm. Everything looks awesome.

So here is my Ruffle test dress she loved it and wore it for two days straight not bad for a bed sheet

I really love all the ruffles in it. Not bad for a test dress.

Here's what I've been working on yesterday and today...this is totally stolen from you Disboutiquer's lol* Thanks so much for the inspiration!!! The best part...this cost me a whopping $6 to make. For my 1 year old...

What a score on the fabric. And the dress is adorable.

As long as it is sewing post away!

Well here is my launch set. It didn't sell but I made it so it will fit DD when we go in October.

 

[BorkBorkBork]

Well here is my launch set. It didn't sell but I made it so it will fit DD when we go in October.

Of course I love this! That's too bad that it didn't sell but hopefully your DD will enjoy wearing it. I'd want one in my size!

I have been a SAHM for 2 years and it has been wonderful but I have an opportunity I can't pass up for a part-time job. I had the interview today and I should know by this weekend. I am really anxious about this and it'll be hard to go back to work but the money is very much needed. Any good vibes would be appreciated!

Also, if I get the job I am SO getting a Brother PE770!

 

[pumpkinpatchquilter]

I love the Cinderella dress. It turned out great. How did you manage to make it for only $6? I agree with everybody else that these nice cotton dresses are so pretty and much cooler at the parks than those polyester things they sell in the stores.

Thank you! I am really thrilled with it. How $6? Well, I used an inexpensive poly cotton blend from Walmart...I bought 1.5 yards at $2.87 a yard of blue and .5 yard of white for the same price. I had the elastic leftover from another project and didn't use much at all...and I made up the pattern...also had the thread on hand. I made this SMALL though, it's for my 1 year old daughter, and used every inch of fabric...I have barely any scraps leftover. I really want to make a Belle dress for my middle daughter and I'm thinking I'll need like 5 or 6 yards of fabric for that!

Well here is my launch set. It didn't sell but I made it so it will fit DD when we go in October.

Looks great, sorry it didn't sell, I'm surprised though because it's awesome!!! Are you launching on Ebay or Etsy or your own site?

Yes, definitely post pictures. We love to see any sewing project: Disney, non-Disney, clothes, bags, etc.

Well here is my launch set. It didn't sell but I made it so it will fit DD when we go in October.

I thought it was terrific and I am shocked that it didn't sell. You did a great job on it.

Good luck with the part time job. I hope you get it!

It is great that you were able to make it so inexpensively. Have you seen CarlaC's directions for how to make a Belle style sundress from her Simple Sweet dress pattern? It would take a LOT less than 5 or 6 yards of fabric and it would be cool and comfortable for Disney.

Here are my launch sets:

Mine also did not get sold. I will list them on my fan page and maybe on my etsy site and see what happens. I was very sad that they didn't sell.

 

[OhStuffandFluff]

Everything on here has been so beautiful to look at!! Great job!! Thought I would share the first of many Disney trip outfits to come for our next trip!! This is my DD's requested Octonauts outfit! My DD wasn't too keen on taking many pictures so only was able to snap a couple!

There are different Octonauts around the skirt totaling 6 and one on the top.

Thanks for looking!!

Michelle...I was wishing that Haunted Mansion set was in my size....but then "pooh sized" ghost might be a bit of a problem....

Okay, here is my first sewing project since I was like eleven

They are luggage tags for my mom and I to take on our trip to Disneyland!

This is the front. They have a clear vinyl pocket, to slid a business card with your name and contact information in.

And this is the back. I love this fabric, it is too cute!

Sorry these pictures are so big, I have no idea how to fix them

 

[rcepek]

Your luggage tags look great! I've been lurking on this thread absolutely amazed at the outfits that everyone does. I would love to have an embroidery machine but am terrified that I would not get enough use out of it because I have 0% sewing abilities!

Has anyone bought an embroidery machine only and think they've gotten their money's worth?

Thank you

On my end the pics are tiny! Don't apologize, we like big pics! It's easier to see things, especially when there's lots of detail to look at.

Good job on the tags. I haven't made them for travel, but I did for my DD's instrument case. They've stood up to 2+ years of teenage abuse, so I bet yours will last forever! I like the fabrics too, very cute!

I love this set. I thought it was fabulous. Not sure why it didn't sell but you could try on any of the FB sites too

I loved your sets. I loved the boy one and wish it had been a little smaller for J.

This is SO stinkin cute!!!

 

[Amyhoff]

Soooo cute! I'm thinking of making tops for my girls using the portrait peasant pattern, but theming them to the princesses dresses. Like, make what you made, only as a top, with ruffles similar to the dresses, if that makes sense.

That sounds ADORABLE! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

I do not know how to multi quote, but everything is amazing as usual! I especially love the Haunted Mansion dress and skirt set. I can't wait until I can make something like that for my daughter, but she's a chicken and I'm not sure I can get her to ride it, never mind wear HM apparel!

Thank you guys so much for the compliments. I have been having a great time sewing and getting ready for our trip.

 

[tpettie]

HELLO EVERYONE!!

She LOVES Rapunzel and has already worn this out for errands etc. I made it a bit big and long so maybe she'll be able to wear it next year or for Halloween if she wants. Really just a dress-up costume!

Thanks for looking and for all the inspiration!

I have a niece that would love that dress can you give me pointer on how you made it... Trying to work out the bodice and how you get the ribbon placement.

Ok WHERE did you find Octonauts?? I NEED this for my 3yo son!! Not the skirt, the appliqués hahaha. I was all set to have my friend in London send me a bunch of Octonaut stuff over including a lunchbox for school when I finally found one on Amazon but it cost me like $22 for a stupid lunchbox! Better be made of gold PLEASE tell me where you got them!!! PLEASE!!

I hand appliqued the pictures onto my DD's skirt. I just copied pictures that I found online and went from there. I know what you mean about finding Octonauts stuff! It is sooo difficult! My kiddos love that show, and I must admit that I think it pretty cute too!

 

[Fruto76]

You guys do the most fantastic work! I am always inspired. I have been working very hard getting my kiddos costumes done for our trip in September. I actually just bought an embroidery machine yesterday, but I've been buying appliques from other Mamas for these costumes.

Here are the costumes for our HS day. I bought the badge and the belt buckle from Thefeltfrog on Etsy. I used the Portrait Peasant pattern for the dress along with this http://www.crafterhoursblog.com/2010/08/belle-dress-tutorial.html tute for the skirt. I'm pleased with how it came out!!

Here are the costumes for our first MK day.

Dress is SS bodice and a Simplicity skirt and Micky head from Etsy. Shorts are a McCall's pattern with t-shirt tie applique from Etsy.

This shirt is for our DTD night.

Sorry for the multiple posts. These outfits are for Crystal Palace dinner.

This shirt was made by Nancy from our boards. The shorts were a McCall's pattern.

This outfit was not made by me, but I found it in a local thrift store in Graham NC. I wondered if any of you talented Moms made this one??

Everything is so adorable. Love the Pooh fabric mixed with the bees! And Woody is fabulous...did you add the red plaid with a fabric marker?? Sew clever!

Been a while since I have been over! So busy sewing and carting the girls all over town! Love all the outfits...WTMTQ!

We are heading back to WDW in December and have been keeping it a secret, but have decided to tell them this weekend! I am so excited! I know they won't get all excited as other kids since we go every year but we already went this year in Jan/Feb and have never been at Christmas time so I am hoping they will be happy!

Here are some items I made a few months ago for a launch!

We have a new launch tonight, so I can share more tomorrow once they are released to the public!

Sew, sew cute!

Hi again!! I'm posting up a storm today. Hope you guys don't mind my jumping right in.

I just bought my first embroidery machine. It's a Husqvarna H class. Does anyone else have this machine? It can do HUGE embroidery fields, so I'm super excited to get started, but I'd love to talk with someone who has used this machine and compare notes.

I have a Husqvarna smb. machine. It's not a H class, but possibly similar. I think you will be pleased with it. I mine!

Very cute! One of my upcoming projects is a Jessie inspired dress.

Love both outfits and how cool that you found something in the thrift store that you were able to match up with the other outfit. Sometimes fabrics are discontinued etc. so I think that is super!

Love your stuff from the last launch. It is all so pretty. I am sure your girls will be thrilled about going back to Disney. How could they not be excited????



Sorry I can't help you with that. But congratulations on your new machine. That's so exciting!

Here is what I have worked on so far this week:

This shirt is another pattern from the Ottobre magazine. I am not thrilled with how the applique turned out. I wanted to use the knit fabric from the shirts as part of the applique but even though I used a ball point needle, it didn't do well. I have some special backing stuff that I probably should have put on it before I used it to applique. But it's too late now. LOL!

This is the same pattern but a different material.

Then I made my little niece a jumper using the simply sweet pattern. This is some of the baby wale corduroy that I bought on Memorial Day. I have almost used it up. I have two pieces of the corduroy left but I am not sure what I want to use them for so right now I am saving them.

Oh and the border on the jumper is made using fabric that was a leftover scrap from the back to school jumper I made her last year. I found it when I was cleaning out my fabric stash.

Everything is fabulous as usual. I love that BTS dress! the theme gets me excited as my kids are driving me bonkers lately...11 days to go (sshhh... don't tell them I'm counting!)

So here is my Ruffle test dress she loved it and wore it for two days straight not bad for a bed sheet

here are the quick easy pants I did for my older daughter her cousin modelled for me as my girl is out of town right now

Have to say I'm very addicted to you can make this patterns

I had a brain wave and managed to create a sewing space in my rec room which makes me very excited and hope we will be able make more stuff now that I don't have put machines away and clean up each day.

Fantastic job on both! When the model refuses to take the garment off, you know you were successful!

Thank you all so much for the super kind comments on my daughter's pirate outfit...they made my day!

I am loving everything everyone is making...I especially love that kinder-dress!!! How cute is that!!!

babynala - Thank you about the Ariel costume! Holy cow you aren't kidding about those fabrics, they were NO fun at all...and I may have uttered a swear or two in the process. It's hard to tell in the picture but the fin is deep turquois satin and I used a sheer organza overlay overtop of it so it would match the shiny costume KNIT tail...UGH...talk about a pain in the butt!!! Kind of why I didn't go any further with embelshments on the top...I was ready to be DONE!

Here's what I've been working on yesterday and today...this is totally stolen from you Disboutiquer's lol* Thanks so much for the inspiration!!! The best part...this cost me a whopping $6 to make. For my 1 year old...

Sew cute!
