Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes

[LadyRob]

Are the Minnie heads and flowers all appliques?

Yes, this was my first real try at appliques.

Okay ladies, here is the next item in my Knock-Off Boutique. The original was posted by obsessedwiththemouse. I have to give a big thanks to everyone for sharing their ideas and pictures. I'm not very good at coming up with my own designs but that is my next challenge. I plan to brainstorm tomorrow while I tackle that 12 hour shift.

The Minnie ears look a little warped in the picture but that's just how the dress is hanging. I wish I could post pics of DD in the outfit but I've promised DH I would not post pics of the kids anymore.

That is so cute!

I'm even more impressed! That must have taken a lot of time and patience. Beautiful!

I mark half way and quarterway marks on my fabrics that I am joining, that way, they match and the gathers are even. Patterns tell you to make a point on the edges of the fabric; I use a fabric pen. Like a wash-away pen, or a disappearing pen. Good luck!

im still confused. do i pin the two fabrics (that im joining) together at half and quarter marks, then pull the strings to gather?

This is one that I'm working on now too, but I ran out of fusible web and stabilizer, at the same time... So I have to run to my favorite place, Walmart tomorrow.

That is my favorite! Glad you decided to make another one of these . I will be bidding on it.

I think it is so funny that this thread is moving so fast. To read here you would think that every kid who goes to Disney has a closet full of custom Disney clothes! I was in Disneyland last week and I did not see one single custom/homemade outfit in the entire 5 days I spent at the parks! I see them at Disneyworld from time to time, but not once in Disneyland. I was really surprised. I was hoping that I would see something that had been posted here so I could ask the mom about it.

 

[LadyRob]

Thanks for all the compliments everyone! Now I'm off to see what I can do with this Friends Around the World fabric. Any ideas?

dopeysgirl, the flowers are all appliqued.

We should have a custom/boutique Disers meeting at WDW. We could all plan to meet for a special meal. I'm sure our little ones would get major attention in a group.

Dena -

I love your JoJo outfit. Is the top based on a commercial pattern or is it something you created yourself? It looks like a great versatile pattern.

Tammy

Hi Tammy, it is a pretty versatile pattern, unfortunately it is one I sketched out. I am pretty sure there are similar patterns like it out there, I will do a search and post back in a minute!

LadyRob, that Minnie outfit is adorable! I think you did a great job, I like the word Minnie on the top better than the original. No offense to the person who made the original, they are both darling!

We could get technical and call it a Convention of Custom/Boutique DISers and write off all of our trip expenses!!!

I've never seen anything on Hancock's, but I do know that Joanns has some. My mom found the one in my signature online, and I know that she's making some pirate Mickey outfits and she found another website that carries the fabric. If that's something that you're looking for, let me know, and I can ask her where she got it.

I'm in too! It's not "too" long of a drive for us. And, I agree that I don't see a LOT of custom outfits, even as much as we chat around here.

There's some on eBay too.
