Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes

[my*2*angels]

I finished the outfit. The skirt wasn't as bad as the top! Now, I have to make DD6's outfit. I am going to make her's slightly different.

This turned out soooo cute! I love the twirl!

I see a trip to Kohls for a pillowcase in my near future.

 

[Disney 4 Me]

Here are the outfits I made with the Mickey winter fabric I bought back in, oh, October, maybe? It only took me 3 months to complete.

DD4 showing the underneath of the skirt.

DD4, DD5 and DS2. THANKS for all the input for DS2's shirt. I went with Donald & Mickey sledding towards Goofy (top ball) and Goofy looking in a different direction (bottom ball). It's hard to see in the pic.

Back of the outfits. DS has Mickey & Donald throwing snowballs at each other.

And can you believe it - NO twirling pics!!!!!!!!!

OMG that pillowcase is to cute! I wish I would have seen it before I went to the movies tonight I was within walking distance to Kohls! OK we went and saw the veggie tales movie ... big surprise I didnt get her over alls anywhere near done. But I am going to work on them this week. I am at a stand still though because I cannot make a decision. Should I go all out and try and match thread on each color? Should I just use black or what about white? Also what about around the edges of the veggie fabric? I was thinking of going with a green that matched.

 

[ms_mckenna]

Disney4me! Those are so sweet! I love that fabric. I also love that your son matches too.

Hi Cathy,

I always forget to say that I love your signature-I LOVE that song

USUALLY I try to take the stupid comments with a grain of salt, or difuse with humor. There are times however when the comment is particulary nasty or hurtful. And I might for a moment "forget" I am a Christian woman . But I think it is important for my DD to know that Mommy will always stand up for her. One comment comes to mind. We walked into a furniture store prepared to SPEND money. A "salesman" approached and amoung other comments said (right in front of my DD) "She's cute where did you get HER?" I loudly asked him (in front of all of his "buddies") "what you don't know where babies come from?" (which caused laughter for his buddies) I then proceeded to question HIS upbringing before going to his manager and "chatting" with him. The salesman was pulled off the floor and "counseled". We walked out of the store and have not been back. Sadly my DD remembers the event. Everytime we drive by that store she says, "that is where the mean man works that mommy made cry"

I just don't understand WHY people think it is ok to question/comment on children. I actually had a tee made (to wear to WDW) that says "you don't have the right to question my family".

HUGS to ALL the children and parents who have had to endure stupid comments.

Oh my...glad they got him off the floor! Yeesh.... you got that taken care of and as you said your DD was defended. Hugs to you both... and thanks about the song! Its my fav too!

Here is my littlest dd. I made her a party hat and a onesie dress. But of course I forgot to take a pic of the dress itself and it's already in the wash. The hat says Phoenix's 1st Birthday....in the Disney font of course.

And this is my middle dd helping the baby.

Funny story about those bows in her hair. We went to walmart to grocery shop last night and this lady came up to me and wanted to know where I got my bows. I told her that I made them. (kicking myself that I didn't bring my business cards with me) well she said they were EXACTLY what she wanted for her daughter. I jokingly said that I'd sell her those. (the ones my dd was wearing) and she said I'll take them and handed me a shiny $10 bill. DD was kinda upset so I bought her some cookie dough and all was right with the world again.

Absolutely adorable!!! I love the hat and the shirt! And the bow story... too funny!!

One of my DGD wore one of my first custom outfits to a Festival and came back very indignant(sp?). She told me that her Daddy tried to "sell" her outfit three times that day and she would have had to come home NAKIT!!!

From then on anytime she puts on one of my customs (my DGDs are my primary models so I make the prototypes in their sizes) she wags her finger at her Daddy and tells him he can't "sell" it while she is wearing it.

Nana

You gals are cracking my up or is it cracky... The outfit is absolutely adorable! Great job!

I was checking out this thread today and saw this adorable dress. Hours later I was at our local Joann's and saw this fabric. It is much cuter as a dress than on the bolt. Great Job.

Oh for heaven's sake...get yourself back there and buy the whole bolt....and I will pay ya for at least 6 yds if it!!!!!!!!! Seriously..... please PM me if you can!

Ohhhh those are absolutely adorable and I love the matchy shirts underneath....so cute!

OMG that pillowcase is to cute! I wish I would have seen it before I went to the movies tonight I was within walking distance to Kohls! OK we went and saw the veggie tales movie ... big surprise I didnt get her over alls anywhere near done. But I am going to work on them this week. I am at a stand still though because I cannot make a decision. Should I go all out and try and match thread on each color? Should I just use black or what about white? Also what about around the edges of the veggie fabric? I was thinking of going with a green that matched.

I would match the color for each but remember you only have to change the top thread not the bobbin color. Also you are going to have to open up the seam on the pants to do the applique work...a big pain...and resew. I did that today to my DD's jeans.



I didn't take pics or else I would be showing you all my grand accomplishment. I started at 11 am and finished at 10:15 pm and of course took a few breaks....garsh....the family had to eat.... but anyways, I made ruffled gouchoes and a peasant top to die for. Seriously, I am so proud of myself. And I tried shirring and using my new ruffler and everything. Tomorrow when she puts it on, I will take lots of pics!
OK good night all...stay warm..its freezing cold here!

I would match the thread, but what do I know, I don't applique! These are going to be just too cute though!

Oh My Goodness! Those veggie tales appliques are going to be SO CUTE! Great job! I thought about you today when I was at Hancock's. They had Veggie Tales fabric. But you found some, didn't you?

Anyway, I would use matching thread on the appliques. It tends to kinda hide any slight imperfections that would be magnified if you outlined in black. That's my choice, at least.

You've GOT to post when you get these completed. They're going to be awesome!

 

[ms_mckenna]

Why did I have a feeling that was going to be the outcome lol. OK I will go get matching threads, going to go ahead and put them on the overalls and then take them to buy thread. I have Mr Lundt (Sp?) too but I need fabric for his hat and his gold tooth. Plus I am not sure where I am going to fit him. DH told me tonight that I was insane he thought I was making ALL four of our kids shirts to wear to the movie ... did I remember how small the 2 year old was lmao. I am praying I have not bitten off more than I can chew with this one. She is already excited about them ... especially after the movie tonight. It was both she and her brothers first movie ever and they had a blast and were SO good!

I am proud of myself-in my quest to use the fabric I have before I buy more......

Here is what I whipped up this evening (My model is sleeping)

In real life the blue in the tee and the blue in the skirt match

That is sooo cute! I love that fabric. Also wanted to say I love your siggy.

I can't believe all the horrible things people have said to some of you. I've noticed that if a girl has red hair people usually love it, but if it's a boy they think it's unfortunate.

I've noticed that about the red hair too. It really odd!

You are all so talented! I love the Princess Pillowcase dresses.

Here is something I did yesterday. Do you think it needs it needs anything?

I love that! I think I would leave it like it is, it's very cute!!!!

Everybody keeps showing their pretty DD's in their pretty flowergirl dresses. So I have to show my DD in hers. It is also an ebay dress. This was from my wedding in june 2006.

DD is the one on the right and the other girl is my cousin's DD. They are the best of friends.

OOOH, those are really pretty dresses! And, beautiful girls!!!

They look great! A lot of us on the bow board use something called Fabric Tac. It works great for holding the character clips together and a huge bonus is no burnt fingers!! You can find it at walmart or joanns.

Thanks for the tip about the glue!! I may try to find some of that!!

I love your daughter's hat!! And the story about the bows is too funny!!! Thank goodness for cookie dough!!!

Actually, I have it bookmarked for if & when that time ever comes. I'm hoping that it will be at least 7-8 years though. They both have to finish college, start their careers, meet the right man, get married, etc. (and not necessarily in that order).

You weren't finished with college when you married Chuck, right? So, who knows! It's hard to believe that your babies are that old allready though!!! Wasn't just yesterday you brought a baby to my wedding?????? (A very good and cute little baby!) Of course, if you ever feel the need to just make some girlie things, I hear your old college buddy has two very cute little girls that love things like that!

Yep she did many times It was awful I tell you

That is so very very hurtful, and even more so since it came from her Grandma!!! I am so very very sorry that happened!

SO, maybe we should all start taking a changes of customs for our kiddos into the park so when people ask, we can sell the clothes off their backs and put on the next custom! I wonder how many sets to be sold in a day would be the record!

This is the outfit that I'm currently CASEing. It's a shame that it's on Voldemort for $185...it's crazy...I could make about 5 outfits for that much money...Anyway I finished the top, it's a pretty simple style. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the ribbon trim on the pants. Do you think it would look just as good with a red and white dot ruffle on the bottom instead?

I really like that outfit Elisa!! I agree that the ruffle would be adorable!

One of my DGD wore one of my first custom outfits to a Festival and came back very indignant(sp?). She told me that her Daddy tried to "sell" her outfit three times that day and she would have had to come home NAKIT!!!

She is so cute!!! I love that outfit! What a little cutie!!

OOOHH!!!! WAY ON TOPIC!!!! I found a peasant top that I'd cut out of Faeries material(leftovers from my FQ swap) before christmas. I am working on it NOW.

...t.

Yeah!!! I can't wait to see it!!!

Hi everyone,

Im so excited . I just got a pillowcase in the mail that i brought off It was sent over from the states and i am so happy with it that i wanted to share a picture. I brought the pillowcase just mainly to use belles face and the rose on a dress but auroras faces is quite pretty so i am going to do a dress with her as well. Next to Belle is some fabric ( musk pink and pale pink with muck pink roses) i brought last week which i thought matched really well. The package that the pillowcase came in had a barcode from 'KOHLS' on it. Cinderella is on the other side.

I haven't ironed it yet, i pulled it straight out of the package to take a photo to show you all.

Melissa, that is really pretty! I can't wait to see your finished outfit!!
I may have to run to Kohl's too!!!

I finished the outfit. The skirt wasn't as bad as the top! Now, I have to make DD6's outfit. I am going to make her's slightly different.

VERY pretty!! I love satin!!! Your daughter looks like she is loving it too!!!

I'm a beginner sewer, do you ladies think this is an outfit I could attempt? Really not so much the top as the pants? I loved the embellished overalls etc, is this relative easy to do? Any and all tips appreciated! THANKS

I haven't attempted applique myself, but there are lots of tutorials in the bookmarks in my siggy.

Here are the outfits I made with the Mickey winter fabric I bought back in, oh, October, maybe? It only took me 3 months to complete.

These outfits are adorable!!!! I love them!! And, you have some of the cutest kids ever!!!

That is turning out really cute!! I like the look of matching the threads to the color.

OK good night all...stay warm..its freezing cold here!

Have I ever told you that I love the way you use different colors in your posts?? Well, I do!!! I can always tell right away when you are posting because it is so pretty!!

I can't wait to see your pictures!!!

Bundle up!!! It's cold here too, I am SOOO ready for spring!!!

Here are the beaded tiaras- The kids are in bed so my doggie volunteered to model for me

The black one is for my ds. My Dh just rolled his eyes- He did let him wear it out to breakfast yesterday though.

 

[my3princes]

I read through about 50 pages here today and I am very impressed with what I've seen. I meet Tom on another thread here so I have been watching his work for a while. I am the mother of 3 boys so I don't sew nearly as often as I'd like and mostly make Disney blankets, potholders and costumes. I have made a few custom Disney things for myself, but usually stick to designing Disney t-shirts. If you ever happen to visit the Creative Designs forums you will find me over there.

I bought this fabric at Joann's tonight and was wondering if any of you had made anything with it. I'm thinking of making a sarong for my bathing suit with it as I think it may be too busy for a top. With no little girls to "doll up" I'm a bit limited.

I'm thinking of making some of the princess hair clips, but making them as lapel pins that way I can wear them too.

 

[disneymommieof2]

This is the fabric I used for the appliques- dd is only 18 months and the pillowcases princesses are to big for her but I really wanted to do a princess jumper so I found this. It was at walmart.

Update on my WDW trip saga: It seems to go on and on! So DH and I decided that we were still going to go on our trip even though his company cancelled their sales meeting their (and the whole reason for going in the first place!). Of course that all changed yet again today! On his conference call today is boss decided since the big sales meeting was cancelled to go ahead and schedule a three day meeting that same week so it looks like our trip is cancelled yet again. We still havent' cancelled the tickets or hotel yet because my DH thinks it still might get changed since some of the people his boss will want there might have conflicts so we are holding but it's not looking good. I know we don't necessarily need to spend the money right now (due to upcoming home renovations) but I think it will probably be our last chance for a real vacation for about 18 months. I also hate it that last week (before the meeting got cancelled but after we booked everything) that we told our girls and they are so excited! They loved our trip there last year and were so happy to be going back and like every parent I hate disappointing them. Who knows...........I guess whatever is meant to be is how it will turn out. In the mean time I'm still hoping but facing reality that it doesn't look like it's going to turn out.

Sorry for the totally OT rant but I just needed to share with others who understand the obsession with WDW!
