Disboutiquers Part 12 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[coteau_chick]

I got this fabric for the girls for summer outfits - im not sure should i do flowers on the top and the solid with ovals on the bottoms? suggestions on the pattern to use?????

Where did you find this fabric? It is really pretty.

Here is The Cat in the Hat for a Big Give! I think I'll make the brother a matching shirt also. Either Thing 1 or something else along those lines.

Really cute outfit. Which pattern did you use for the skirt?

I think I'm the only person who missed the Megan/Mac crush I didn't even notice it in that pic until T pointed it out! Was I there???

Ahem, I didn't know until I saw the pictures and I am the child's mother! She says, "he's cute!"

Hi Everyone - if you could send some prayer Daniels way - he was admitted to duPont this morning with a fever - seems his Dad has been sick too - poor kiddo, this was his last week of rest before mega Chemo starts next monday (when he will have to be admitted to see how his body reacts to the chemo).....He will hopefully be discharged tues or wed. Also, his Dad was laid off again, but at least he got a month of work in!!

Megan says, "get well soon Daniel."

Piper this is adorable! I really like it!

Cute! We did a Thomas birthday party for my son when he turned two. Those little kids love the trains!

I just signed up for Facebook this week and am still figuring it all out.
Are some of you guys on FB? Tips would be handy and I would love a few new FB friends

We have a disboutiquers group. Do a search for it and you can find a lot of us that way. Welcome to FB!

Okay, I am getting ready to start work on the newest Big Give outfits. There is a 4 year old girl and a 12 year old girl. They both like twirl skirts. I am making the little sister a traditional red/white one and the big sister black/pink. My question is how big would you make the tier for the waist for someone whose waist is 39"? I don't want it to be too skimpy, but if each tier is twice the length of the one above it, you could get into some serious gathering! I am thinking 54"(4 1/2 feet), 9 feet for second tier and 18 feet for the bottom . What do you guys think? Could I get away with 48" (4 feet -8 feet & 16 feet?)

Here is the pink Minnie dot for Lilyanne (Marena's Big Give) For some reason, I couldn't get the picture to show up on the other board!!

That is really cute! A couple of others were having issues posting pictures over there too, wonder if the board was being fickle.

Hmmm, I preordered my photopass on Feb.2 and I paid 99.95 total. No tax, no shipping.

I'll go check on Denise on facebook. I think she's fine.

Really, I am not a lunatic! I am going to put my receipt in photobucket so I can post it. The first one charges me the tax and when I send for it I am charged $7.28 I think it is for shipping.

I saw Denise post last night on facebook. I was getting ready to hit the bed though.

Hi all,
I'm just gearing up to do most of the sewing for our Disney trip. I've collected the fabric, cut some of it, but mostly I've been working on the Tshirts which are all done!
I posted pics here

I made a cute Thomas set for my nephew, I'll be making tons more shorts and skirts for my sons, niece, nephews, friends... birthday season is rapidly approaching too!

I am off to look at your other link! I love the way you made Jack perfect so you can see Thomas in it.

I think I have some Thomas fabric left if someone wants to swap. I forget who mentioned wanting it. IT is a different print though.

Where did you find this fabric? It is really pretty.


Really cute outfit. Which pattern did you use for the skirt?

Uh, pattern? There are patterns out there for this kind of thing?

I used the Jeanne pattern (aka Jeanne told me how to do it kind of). I modified this one to not include an underskirt and just lined the one fabric. Jeanne's directions are really great! They consist of cut 2 strips of this and 3 of this for ruffles but it works perfect! Thanks Jeanne

I don't think I am one to answer this but that is ALOT of fabric. Of course I find once I start it doesn't seem to end up being as much as it seems.

Gee I haven't been updated on the romance...is it still going on??? We can always photochop them together!

You don't mess with the classics Cathy!

True, true T...you gotta look at it that way!

Here is the pink Minnie dot for Lilyanne (Marena's Big Give) For some reason, I couldn't get the picture to show up on the other board!!

Piper its adorable! I love the color!

...and I wanted to say I love the way you organized your sewing stuff! Very nice...isn't it fun to look at?


JaimeK - Cute outfit! My son loved Thomas when he was little!

Sally - That is just so adorable! I can't wait to see the little boy in it...can you post pics here (or ask if they will?) I love it!

Danicaw - I am on facebook....Cathy Peckiconis!

Jess and Piper - When my ruffler broke I measured the ruffle tier of the patchwork twirl....just to see if I wanted to tackle it by hand. It was almost 23 feet!!!! Course its very full when you are done. If you are doing tiers, they may be long but they aren't all that wide...maybe 6-9 inches each if you do 3 or 4 tiers? I would stick to the 4 1/2 feet, 9 feet for second tier and 18 feet for the bottom??? Do you have a pattern?

Question for those of you who shop online.

Do you get charged sales tax? I used to some places and not others until about 2-3 years ago. Now I do everywhere so I am wondering if it is a state thing and that is why I get charged tax on the photopass. I thought it was a federal law that made everyone start charging but guess that doesn't make much sense since it is state sales and tax and OR and whomever else don't even have state taxes like that.

BTW, I took a photo of it. I couldn't figure out how to get it in photobucket! Really, I am not crazy! And I ordered it within 3 days of you Jeanne!

I am not sure how it works but yes, you will be charged tax on online purchases but it does depend on where you live and where the company selling is located.

I think it would work. For a 12 yr old they maynt want it as full as a younger kid might. Then again I have used some serious material for twirl skirts and I still love them any which way!

I think it depends on if the company has a location in that state you are in. I don't think amazon.com charges tax unless you are buying through a reseller with them.

Off to the Rhumatologist this am for my 2nd appointment hopefully I will have some answers today!!!!! Last week I was made a pincushion!

You and me both sister! Clearly I am too self involved to pay attention to my kids!

PIPER!!!! That is ADORABLE, I heart minnie bling Lilyanne is going to lover it too, I know my lily would.

Do you people only pretend to read my TR? There was all sorts of discussion of Megan/Mac on there!

I'll go check on Denise on facebook. I think she's fine.

I'm SORRY I only just got a computer last week!!! I'm trying to keep up but there are a million TR's to read. UGH! But I'm gonna have to go back and fish out the megan/mac discussion fo' shizzle.

Mac wants to put in a dancing banana.



Now, try explaining the 3 banana rule to your 10 yo.
I showed him the picture and he said "It's the hair"

I missed the original question but I can tell you when I do a double ruffle for Morgan I am gathering approx. 30 feet of fabric.

When I make one for JORD........ it is not "quite" that much

Sometimes I get charged tax and sometimes I'm not. I noticed the other day that it is starting to happen more and more.

 

[JaimeK]

Very cool! Where did you find the Thomas fabric? I can only find fleece.
I did find trainfabric.com, but would rather go to a store and get it I know, silly me.
A friend of mine is 34 weeks preg. and her DS 3 is a big Thomas fan, and loves to cook with Mom. So I was thinking a Thomas chef's hat for the new big bro might be fun!

I found the blue Thomas fabric shown here at Joann's. I found a red toss print on Ebay. It was a great seller, I got a Mickey and disney princess fabrics from them too:

I totally believe you Jessica! I'm just feeling glad mine didn't cost that much! I know there are a lot of state laws that can make things different. I came across it a lot in a job I once had. At the time I think Massachussetts had a lot of strange laws that no one elses did regarding things like tax and shipping and contracts and leasing etc.

Yes, but how many TR's include so many photos of YOUR CUTE KIDS???

I love that Piper! That pink polka dot fabric is one of my all-time favorites!

Prayers for Daniel...don't forget to give us details about buying the bracelets

Super cute Piper!

Do you people only pretend to read my TR? There was all sorts of discussion of Megan/Mac on there!

Sorry! To clarify, that is where I learned about the crush, I was just pointed out that even after reading about it, I still didn't pick up on her hugging him in the pic.

And right there is the math that lead me to determine that Aisling will never have another twirl skirt made by me!

You are not going crazy- some places charge and some don't. I get charged more often than not because Mass taxes pretty much everything. In case you haven't missed the news- they plan to start taxing soda this year and raising the gas tax to the highest in the country Thank God I live on the NH border

At the time I think Massachussetts had a lot of strange laws that no one else did regarding things like tax and shipping and contracts and leasing etc.

You had a job in Mass?

I LOVE the Prince Charming outfit!!! Tooooooo cute! On the T-shirt was that a DISign or one of your own? I would so love to have that for my son.

Thoughts and prayers for Daniel!

This turned out so cute! I love the stripes with the dots. The Minnie embelishment is great. Did you make it yourself or was it an iron on?

Georgia must just get taxed for everything!

I hope you do get some answers.

I was thinking that I get charged tax on Amazon but now I am not positive. I know for sure when I was buying legos I did but that was through Toys R Us on Amazon.

I totally believe you Jessica! I'm just feeling glad mine didn't cost that much! I know there are a lot of state laws that can make things different. I came across it a lot in a job I once had. At the time I think Massachussetts had a lot of strange laws that no one elses did regarding things like tax and shipping and contracts and leasing etc.

Don't worry! I was sure you believed me but I know on the thread I was reading they didn't! I gotta find it and post a picture!

I bet it is nice to be able to go across the border for some things. When I lived in OH we sometimes drove the 2 hours to PA to school shop and stuff. No tax on clothes (or something of the like in PA). I was a kid so don't remember the exact details of it.

Piper - I really love the flower on Minnie! That is a perfect Ohana outfit! Although it could be worn anywhere. I think I have both those fabrics now that I think about it.

Okay, Thing 1 is done now too. I think I'll do the word by hand next time so the G isn't so funky. Or do it before I iron it on.

He is waving hello to everyone!

Here is it all together! I am with it all. I hope the wish trippers like it as much as I do!

 

[LeeLee2U]

I've been lurking so thought I'd pop up for a minute!!! hope i didn't scare anyone!!!
I really don't sew but am leaning towards buying a machine so I can mess around!!! I do love crafts and i make bows and decorate shoes. I love cutom clothing and I just want to say what you guys do is beautifull.
I really love all the Big Give projects ya'll do.
We went on our Wish trip before this group was started.
As a Wish family Our trip was awesome and my mom and sisters had bought my kids some Mickey t-shirts they had found for our trip. Between those and the T-shirts my DH designed for the Wish foundation we felt it really added to our trip! So I know all of this effort is really making these WISH trip that much more special!!!
I'm going to jump on your Big Give board if that is o.k. and see if I can possible do anything to help!!
Thanks again for all you do!! Big hugs to everyone!!!

[teresajoy]

My hubby (who also works for Wal-Mart) just told me that one of the stores in his district did not lose their fabric when they were scheduled to, because the district manager fought it. So maybe ask for the contact info for the district manager to protest. My DM goes with anything the home office says.

'

That's why I encourage everyone to complain, it can't hurt!

I am just stopping in to check you guys out. Teresa pointed me in this direction. I don't sew but really enjoy seeing all the customs. Also I love DIS but have not gotten in on any chatty threads other then TRs so if it is ok with you guys I would like to lurk around and maybe chat some. Perhaps you can all inspire me to make something for our upcoming trip. Maybe I can start small with something like headbands or something. Of course they must require hot glue only because that is the only crafting skill I have mastered. Well that and making beautiful Christmas wreaths but we will have no use for those at Disney in June.

~Jill

Nice to see you here Jill!

Just wanted to drop in & say "HELLO ALL!"

Hi Laura!!!

*Toadstool* - yes it's a netbook. Pretty much bought for Disney trips. Though it is fun to have a tiny computer.

I had the same thought when I saw those!!! "That would be great to take to Florida!"
