Disboutiquers Part 13 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[praline3001]

Welcome Brook! Your TR is what got me addicted to customs! I was reading for the VIP tour, but feel in love with the cute dresses. (BTW Thanks for the info.... DH agreed and I am booking them for our girls trip in August in 2 weeks when I reach my 90 days). I bought a few customs, and then found this thread. I couldn't sew a button to save my life a few weeks ago and thanks to everyone on this thread I found some great patterns and made my first custom dress last week. I am like 99% finished with my skirt and tank for Animal kingdom now, hopefully I will have pics tomorrow.

Oh I have tried to sew ... I am all thumbs!
Glad you liked my TR... this upcoming one is going to be GREAT ...lots and lots of planning on this baby

Aww Eyore, congrats on your Hannah! I'm a "Hannah Mommy" too! Here's my little Hannah Mae!

I can't wait to read it..... I saw you talking about your son's cake.... it sounds awesome. I am still trying to pick a cake design for DD's bday.... we will be at DW for both of our bdays (they are 3 days apart). I lknow the feeling with the planning.... my mom and sis are going with DD and I, and they are thinking I am nuts with the over planning.

Aww Eyore, congrats on your Hannah! I'm a "Hannah Mommy" too! Here's my little Hannah Mae!

How cute she is.

I just finished uploading one batch on facebook! I've got another batch to go, but that's gonna have to wait til morning. I'm thinking about doing a trip report, but I'm afraid it would be kinda boring. BUT, I can do pictures1

oooh.. I hope I can remember my facebook login. I never did get the hang of that. I will try to look tomorrow!

Aww Eyore, congrats on your Hannah! I'm a "Hannah Mommy" too! Here's my little Hannah Mae!

I'm a Hannah mommy too!
We should make t-shirts...
I didn't realize how popular a name it was until after I named Hannah that. I knew no one growing up named Hannah. I must know 10 people with girls the same age named Hannah. I love the name though. I chose it because of its biblical goodness.
We call her BeeBee most of the time.

Toadstool- I dont know how I lost your quote but I just had to say- I can tell ever since you joined us- it's a good thing we don't live close, because Id want to get together with you ALL the time- we have such similar taste! Love the Kari Me Away site, and of course we already both read sew beautiful- the difference is I subscribe and just drool over the photos- you actually MAKE those creations of batiste and smocking!
and DH and I came to an agreement yesterday- we are going with "Hannah" and Im so pleased.


One of these days I plan to post a belly shot- it has to be a day when I have make up on. For Tom's sake I wont post any photos that may show my lovely "striped" skin. LOL Okay, its for EVERYBODY'S sake- cause really- nobody wants to see that......
So. I talked to one of my midwives today about the potential of travel for a funeral, and she had them copy my medical records and said, if I travel with them it will gaurantee I wont go into labor (tongue in cheek) and we basically agreed, anything past this coming sunday is probably too great a risk for me to travel. My chiropractor (who I cried in her office today from emotions, pain and lack of sleep) cautioned me my symphysis would not like the 7-8 hour car ride.....sigh.....but otherwise, I could travel if I really really wanted to go.

I have accomplished no sewing today!!!!
I DID make up my mind which fabrics to use for the cupcake purse...

I think we would get along too! I would love having someone in my age range that is into that kind of sewing around me. That is why I hang out with all the older ladies. I learn a heck of alot from them though. They are like grandmothers to me. You surely must not have as many good teachers around as I do.. I know I am lucky! You however live closer to the lobster.. for that I envy you!
So excited about the name Hannah for you. Even though it is popular around here I think it is a special name! Obviously...
I can't imagine travelling and being that pregnant! Omgooses... I was miserable those last few weeks!


Has anyone tried the Growing up with Rosie Knit Leggings from YCMT??
I am thinking about buying them. I don't know when I'll make my next farbenmix order. Stephres recommended one of those. The Rosie pattern does look kinda loose fitting, so I am not sure if I will like it.
Has anyone made the Crate a knit Jumper either??
I am itching to make some knit things on the serger now.
Maybe I just need to check out Hancock's.

Aww that's too cute! Mine is "NannahBelle" most of the time. I think since "Hannah" doesn't have an obvious nickname, most Hannah's end up with really creative ones!

 

[Tinka_Belle]

I have used the Growing up With Rosie leggings pattern. I thought that it ran a little small. I bought it when Jenna was still wearing a size 6 and they did not fit her. I had to upsize them a good bit to get them to fit her.

 

[danicaw]

Thanks everyone for your comments on the wrap dress.
DD finally tried it on and then cried when she had to take it off.
So, I think she likes it
The pattern intimidated me a bit and I put off starting for a week or so, but once I started and it started to come together I couldn't wait to see it done.
Now I am going through my stash to see if I have coordinating pieces to make another one maybe not this week.

Heather I forgot to say how much I love the sets you posted!
Great job digitizing! I love Mickey's expression.
They are both wonderful sets!

Haha.. Nanahbelle is cute. We call her BeeBee because my mom and dad speak cajun french, and bebe is cajun french for baby. Somehow she started saying beebee instead of bay bay. So when people ask her what her name is she usually says BeeBee. Her friends call her Hannah Montana though.

That might work for me then. I like the leggings to fit snug. Were they easy to put together? I am wondering if there is a casing for the elastic or if you sew it in without a casing. I'm guessing I could change that part to my liking anyhow. I have never sewn on knits before. I always stayed away. I'm nervous. Oohh.. I bet I need to get ball point serger needles.

 

[praline3001]

Welcome!! I saw your Test Track dress on the other thread - it's really cute!! I'm in the same boat - DD is NOT into the princesses and I have to bribe her to get her into anything I make. Of course a Disney trip would be a different story - she says she'd be happy to wear ANYTHING I made her in Disney! Too bad we don't have a trip planned!!

My DD and I are really getting into the made to match a ride thing! The dresses are coming out so darling!
With her RNR dress, it has a lot of reds, whites and blacks and a guitar on the bodice. She will be wearing converse red high tops with it

Super cute!

I must be tired. I forget what else I was going to say already!

My son likes outfits for the rides and always requests them! I think I am yet to make one though. I'll get around to it.

Your TR is is really fun to read. I am reading it right now when I really should be sewing! Glad you found our little board. Welcome!

check with your dealer - I bought needles yesterday and asked if I needed ball point needles for knits and he said no - to use the same needles. I don't know if he was talking about, though?

 

[minnie2]

ok, finished today Super Girl... I like to call this one super jojo!!!!

Lori

That is adorable!!!!!!!

Cute! Great job!


I have been lurking, and I am sure I have missed some, but everything posted is great. Cute Tink outfit! Love the precious dresses - I want that pattern next.
I made hubby a laptop sleeve with the pattern from YCMT. I won't post pics - its plain black w/ black zipper. But it was my first zipper! So, I am proud it works and look good.
I finally got DD dress done!!!! Thanks for your help in picking the striped fabric... I like how it turned out. She is napping so no model, but she had it on last night before I had the ruffle and ties on and didn't want to take it off, so thats a good sign.

Pics off my phone... the real camera needs to be charged.
So, I still need practice with gathering and ruffles and I think a ruffle foot (or whatever its called) would make life easier, but putting the bias tape on is that cause me the most grief. It looks a bit twisty... not sure if an iron would take care of that or not... I really didn't notice it til I looked at the pictures. I am hoping that when its on a moving 2 year old it will be harder to see the few things I messed up on
I promised DS a new tie this week also, that should be quicker than the dress

GREAT job!!!!!! I lve that pattern and those Jelly fish are too cute!

I have so many projects planned that I don't know which one to start. Anyone else have that problem??

That is SO me! what I started to do is write them all down and prioritize them. It has actually helped!

Hi everyone!
I was just shown this thread. I never knew it was here!

I am a huge Disney customs fan. I can't sew to save my life but my DD and I love putting fabrics and ideas together and I have a few designers who are friends

People tease us all the time for the time and effort we put into the outfits but we ENJOY it so =p to them

On our upcoming trip my DD is starting to get out of the princess stage and more into the tween stage. We have come up with some ideas for great sundresses and are slowly watching them take shape. We focused on many of her favorite rides (TT dress, EE dress, RNR dress)
along with some camp rock stuff.

Anyway ~ just wanted to give a quick shout out as I hate lurking without giving an intro
I can't wait to see all of the adorable outfits!

Welcome! Reading your trip report! You little girl i adorable!

Ok ladies, I finally figured out what as wrong with my new embroidery machine,... ME!!!! It just wasn't doing what I wanted it too, and i was almost ready to chuck it when it dawned on me what I was doing wrong. THE HOOP WAS UPSIDE DOWN!!!! I` don't understand how it could even sew that way, but it did 2 complete appliques with the hoop upside down. I did minnie tonight with it rught side up and the difference is huge!

Sorry the pice is burry. Didn't notice that untill I posted it.

I feel really silly, but at least I fugured it out!

That would so be me!
It came out really cute!

Welcome!!! You know, once you have come out of lurkdom, you wont be able to resist- watch, in another week you will be asking for a pillowcase, a-line or easy pants pattern LOL. Non sewers welcome here too!
Speaking of....CampbellScott WHERE are you?????


One of these days I plan to post a belly shot- it has to be a day when I have make up on. For Tom's sake I wont post any photos that may show my lovely "striped" skin. LOL Okay, its for EVERYBODY'S sake- cause really- nobody wants to see that......

Post the belly shot! I bet you look great!

Nooo I have tried to sew and I am HORRID at it!

I do like to match fabrics and come up with fun ideas and I love looking what others have done.

I bet if you tried some patterns from YCMT especially Carla's patterns you would be great!

WHERE ARE PICTURES FROM THE TRIP?? I want to see!
I didn't find a screw in the little compartment thing. I keep putting stuff in there and forgetting where it is. I looked forever for that little plastic brush with the holes in the end to help put in/ take out needles. It was in there!
Thanks for the tip on the magazine. I think I get the parenting magazine for free, but I just skim and throw it out.

www.nitasplace.com/sampler
Cute embroidery designs for free for boys. It is a tool theme. Just thought some of you with embroidery machines might want them. I love her deisigns!!

Aww Eyore, congrats on your Hannah! I'm a "Hannah Mommy" too! Here's my little Hannah Mae!

she is beautiful!

That is so sweet! I love that she wouldn't take it off!

That is so cute. My DD (2) does the opposite. Everytime I have her try something on to show DH or her Grandma she is so excited and then I have her take them off and change. She thinks they are like costumes. Hopefully she won't think that when it comes time to actually wear them, or Disney will have it's first streaker.

So as I am reading your post, I happen to look over to see where you are from, don't know why I hadn't noticed before! We are practically neighbors! I live outside of Gulfport!

I loved the Cindy dress and all of the appliques! I am scared of appliques, so I just sit at my computer and drool with envy! I am a few pages behind. I took yesterday off from the computer to get some work done and you guys just kept on posting. Just finished my first stripwork dress and am working on one for my oldest. Will post pictures later in the day. Our vacation is in 17 days, and I still have tons of sewing to finish. Really need to start working on the Mother's Day gifts! Not to much time left! I guess I am a last minute sewer!!!

 

[Haganfam5]

Tick, Tick, Tick!!!!! Disney here we come! I am so excited and I want to make sure I share it with my fellow Disney lovers!

I was wondering if anyone had any last minute, can't forget, don't forget, can't live without, packing advice?

We are flying and carrying everything on with us so I can't pack too much but I know I am going to forget something! This is only our second time flying so I am not an expert packer. I like to over-pack the van and drive down! That way I can be sure I have everything!

You are brave to fly carry-on! I can never get it down to a small enough bag, even for a short 3 or 4 days trip. The things I always forget are a toothbrush, toothpaste, HAIRBRUSH, extra hair ties, headbands, and my phone/camera/video camera/gps charger (expecially this. Do you know how hard it was to find a video camera charger in Poland?). Really, anything you forget you can buy on your vacation. Have fun, take some gravol, and enjoy your flight and trip!

I have been in lurk mode for a while, but I just finished a paper so I have a minute to catch up:

Heather - love the applique sets! Especially Winnie the Pooh!

The pillowcase cindy dress is adorable! I have been trying to convice fabricland to carry Disney fabric. Their response everytime? One day. Its frustrating!

Danicaw - I LOVE that dress! It is the perfect fabric combonation, and the ruffle is the perfect touch.

Lori - SUper JoJo is adorable! Amazing work as always, I wish I had your talent.

Jham - I saw the doors you decorated on FB, and they are awesome! They are making me want to go out and get a cricut RIGHT NOW!

Prayers and Hugs to all that need them

I know I missed a ton of things, but everything has been absolutley gorgoeus lately! You ladies always amaze me!
