Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes

[Flea]

Day 6- Magic Kingdom
I didn't make these, I bought them off ebay. Same with the girls' hats. As a family we got a load of attention. People also made lots of comments on the hats.

I love those crochet hats - My plan for the year is to learn how to crochet (last year I learn't how to knit and sew). I've only been sewing since march last year as we cloth diaper our youngest so thought I'd have a go at making them all for her - from there I ventured into clothes (just basic stuff) and then now I'm itching to do something a bit more adventurous My good friend is a fashion designer and has been teaching me as I go

Thanks for that Youcanmakethis link - they have some funky patterns - do they actually include patterns or just instructions . I'm normally a wing it sort of girl and have a huge list of tutorials saved as favourites lol - patterns are a new thing for me but I'm sure I'll learn (the dressing gown I made recently was one of my first attempts at a real bought pattern).

I can't post pics but can I link to a picture in photobucket or flickr??

Sorry I tend to get carried away when it comes to crafty stuff and blabber on a bit just tell me to be quiet

Can anyone make a 12-18 month minnie mouse outfit for me? I have been searching ebay but havent really come up with anything yet. I would really like either a safari one or the normal red, black, and white. Can anyone help?

This is way off topic but I am so excited. I got Lauren into the Preschool class I was hoping for! She will go 3 days a week in the mornings starting in September. I actually got the last slot in the class! I think it is beyond crazy that you have to register for preschool 9 months in advance and even then you might not get your first choice.

CONGRATULATIONS! It is the same way here! You have to be put on a list and wait and so forth! For some reason I called about K4 last March and got the next to last spot for this year! So congrats that is great!

You guys are not going to believe this. My ruffler foot just BROKE! It's been acting kinda wonky. I was just finishing gathering the last section of the skirt of the pillowcase dress that I've been making, and I was about 1/2 finished, and there was kinda a wonky stitch, then a noise, and the maching beeping, and the thing just came off. The bottom part that attaches on the screw on bar thing just broke off. I paid $30 for this thing at Hancock's. I've had it since probably around August. I'm very, very sad. Now I'm gonna have to replace the thing. Anyone know where to find a ruffler foot for a good price?

SORRY! I hate when stuff like that happens, but I ordered a foot from somewhere and it did not fit so I had to send it back. So, I would suggest buying one from a place that you can make sure it fits! I am of absolutely NO help!

I don't know if anyone has this, but I got one for Mom for Xmas and she LOVES it. It fills the bobbin so much faster then the sewing machine. I got it at Xmas when JoAnnes had the 50% notion sale.

my mom also got one for Christmas and loves it!!

If I were you I would take it back to Hancock's for a replacement. Speak to the manager if you have to....It certainly should have lasted a few years not mere months!!!! The ruffler I have was made in 1951.....still works fine!!! Nana

WELCOME! Glad you've joined in. In case someone hasn't posted it, I just thought I'd let you know that all the pics from this thread can be found by going to the very first post of the thread, towards the bottom, there are two links that are posted in bold. One is for the photobucket account that has all of the pictures of everything that has been posted on this thread. Great place for inspiration! The second link is full of links for different tutorials on how to make great things. Take a look around - it's a great place to find great things to make.

Excellent, My MIL is taking my eldest for a couple of hours today so can have a good look (and become more obsessed) while the baby is asleep

I love this fabric but have never seen it at Joann's here. I'll have to keep searching.


I introduced myself as a sewing newbie last week and I finished my tote bag and a pair of pirate pj bottoms for my son. Just trying to get the feel of everything.

I love my brother 270D sewing machine so far. Its so simple to use. Granted I havent gotten up the nerve to do any embroidery yet!!!

Ok everyone talks about a ruffler foot and I'm really thinking I NEED ONE!!! Are they hard to use? The skirts and dresses are just so cute.

I found some really cute patterns for dd7 at the store the other day. I cant wait to get started on real clothes. I'm looking for easy stuff obviously. I really wish I would have started sewing when she was younger because of all the cute toddler outfits you all have made! Unfortunately she's grown out of all the cutsie stuff. I'm trying to find patterns that look more like an older girls outfit but use cute disney fabrics for our October trip!

So quick question. Where does everyone get the cute minnie dot fabric? I've searched Joann's, Hancock and Walmart. Cant find it anywhere. Thanks in Advance!!!

Good morning everyone! It's cold here in Dallas today so I'm kind of excited although my girls hate to wear their winter coats so it's kind of a battle but I'm happy!

I am near Dallas too! Where are you located?

Ooh I wish I could be of some help but Joann's and Hancock's near me don't carry rufflers. They look at me like I'm crazy when I ask for one. I know some of the sewing repair stores here do carry them but the two times I've been they have been out of them. I've got to put that on my to do list! I think it would make things much easier.

We are in McKinney.

Here is a grown up outfit one of us made:

Here is the website where you can find more great inspiration

That is adorable. I had considered using that fabric as an accent, but I think I may make a bold statement. I'm still thinking on this one.

Is there a link for the adult boutique look or are they sporadically posted in here?

Are you serious? I am near there all teh time. We live off of 380 in between Denton and Mckinney. My dd goes to preschool in Frisco and most of my friends live in Mckinney. How weird

 

[mommy2allgirls]

Another ? Wasn't there a mickey head cut out that you could print and use to trace a mickey head for a shirt? I am trying to make a shirt but need a mickey head, or am I just making this up

I'M DONE!!!!

Here is the Cinderella Mouse-made (I wish the mice made it) dress!!

Doing the Lydia:

Doing the Megan:

Doing the Tessa:

Just because Josie looks so cute with her haircut and her Tinkerbell jacket:

I need to find her a blue necklace like Cinderella's now! This is the bow she wanted in her hair and I wasn't going to argue!

 

[disneymommieof2]

You know I put the elastic straps on the jumper but the bodice is a little tight any ideas how to fix that as long as I have to fix the straps (cover up the zig zag stitches). I might just sew ricky-rack over the top of where I sewed the straps to the bodice instead of ripping it all apart
I was thinking of changing the back to a corset type so it can be tightened after it goes over her head. I'm not sure how to do that though- it's just an idea I have.
Any suggestions are welcome- I know you guys can help me out!!!

Hey Any ideas or suggestions out there to help me out???
This was the pink and purple belle & aurora stripwork jumper
