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

[minnie2]

I just read this from Jonah's trip report and wanted to post it here as I know alot of you took part in his give.

"I know I neglected his trip report but the memories are still there. Jonah passed away March 13, 2007. He pulled out his trach in the middle of the night. We are having his visitation on Wednesday and his funeral on thursday. We are having a tough will the realization that he isn't here with us. We are remembering the good times that we had with him and that always brings a smile to our faces. We can't thank Make-A-Wish enough for giving us some of those favorite memories. We can't thank Give Kids the World enough either. Please just remember us.

So tragic!

Hi all! Wow...I am so far behind! I have been lurking some, but my back has been killing me for about two days...ugh! It seems some better today, not sure what is going on other than something is pressing on a nerve so my whole leg tingles from time to time...and yes that is my driving foot so sewing is a bit of a challange. I'm trying to finish a skirt for my BFF's DD5...I've only had the fabric since before Christmas!

But I wanted to wish everyone a Happy

day...

Get it? St. Patrick? ....okay lame...but Patrick is pretty sure today is all about him!

Too cute he thinks it is all about him! And why shouldn't he he is such a cutie pie.

I finally got her awake enough to take her medicine...right now her fever is 104.4...so I am on edge until it lowers enough....I fear seizures and all with high fevers...so I am keeping a close eye on her right now....I hate it when kiddos are sick...I go into weird mode. Hopefully things will turn around with the motrin and I can finish my chores and, yes, maybe even sew. I just feel very crumby and alone.

Oh NO! poor thing I hope you can get the fever down! Did you call the dr? Others have given some great advice! Keep us posted.

Good Morning everyone! Happy St Patrick's Day! Please excuse my drive-by posting, but I wanted to share pics of Megan's St. Patty's day outfit. It was just suppose to be a elastic pillowcase top, but I cut the green border too small and when I cut down the body to match, it turnedout smaller than I expected and was too small. So, I ended up adding the side strips. It did force me to learn the rolled hem on my serger!!

And both of them. Wyatt just got a quick felt applique - which he dribbled toothpaste on...

Great job!

Just wanted to post a few pictures of a dress I made my dd for St. Pats Day

cute!

 

[teresajoy]

Thanks everyone for the compliments on the Minnie dress. The bling was an iron on.

Now here is the skirt I was asking about. No pattern--just the math! I did end up going with the 54" top tier. I made it first (after that one, the little one will be a breeze! I used a hot pink with tiny white dots on the top tier and the asprin sized ones on the other two. . .white in the middle and hot pink on the bottom. I thought that since she is 12, she might not appreciate the huge "real" Minnie dots I am going to use on her sister's!

I love it!!! Great job!!

Lookie what I got! My new grand-daughter, Taylor Elise. 5 lbs, 4 oz and 17.25 inches long.

That's my IPhone beside her to give scale to the picture.

Penny

Oh Penny! I just want to pick her up and snuggle her!!! She is GORGEOUS!!!

Awhile back, we had an Aunt Penny discussion and found out a LOT of us have Aunt Pennys!! I know at leat 4 Pennys (besides you) that I can think of off the top of my head, my Aunt, my SIL, a girl I went to school with, and of course, there is Penny from The Rescuers!

I did--I am so glad you could use it. It would have been wasteful of me to have the card and not use it, so I wanted someone to enjoy it!

Here is the red Minnie dot for Aubree:

As you can see, I used some of that Minnie dot!

Love it!!!!

I'm thinking we should start a FB Group page so that we can find each other (if interested). I'm happy to do it if others would be interested in joining. My advice is to be aware of your settings. For example, I believe the default for viewing you photos is "Friends of Friends." I switched mine to "Friends Only."



Wow, those turned out great! I love the Things as well!!

I think this link should take you to our Disboutique Group on Facebook:

Absolutely love all your fabric and threads and organization and I saw a little bit of your machines....amazing! You really are the seamstress!!!




Does anyone remember who it was on the first thread who bought fabric store closeouts and filled her entire basement/garage with thousands of bolts??? I think she had to sell it all off, if I recall...but it was impressive I tell ya. Was that any of you?

Yep, Angela, Camelotcats. I've been wondering what happened to her. Has anyone heard from her?

I'm so sad about this.

I finally got her awake enough to take her medicine...right now her fever is 104.4...so I am on edge until it lowers enough....I fear seizures and all with high fevers...so I am keeping a close eye on her right now....I hate it when kiddos are sick...I go into weird mode. Hopefully things will turn around with the motrin and I can finish my chores and, yes, maybe even sew. I just feel very crumby and alone.

Oh poor baby!!! I hope you get the fever down soon.

I read about Jonah passing away this morning and I've spent a good deal of the morning crying. He was a special little guy and I loved reading his mother's updates on his progress at school and such. It's just so sad.



I just signed up and told them you sent me! You can do a lot with a yard of expensive fabric! Teresa made Lydia a Marie dress out of less than 1/2 yard, I believe. You just have to add some coordinating fabric!

How big was Lily? Tessa was 6lbs, 4oz and pretty long. She was almost a month early. So, she was really skinny when she was born. I gotta say, it took her several weeks to "cuten up". Yes, I said it! My newborn was not beautiful!



I tried to get Henry to take the carpet out of the guest bedroom when we turned it into a sewing room. He just looked at me like I was crazy since the house was only 2 years old. I guess it's a good thing he didn't take it out because it may have to be converted back to a bedroom! Now, I'm working on trying to talk him into turning the formal dining room into my sewing room. But, he says I'm too messy to have my sewing room in the front of the house, where my mess can be seen by all. Wow, did I get long-winded or what? What's new?!

I'm heartbroken too, he was such a special little guy.

Yep, it wasn't much fabric at all! I was so pleased!

We loved her anyways though!

Put a curtain on the door!

Good thing your mom had that ugly doll to compare her to. I bet she was MUCH cuter then.

Compared to that doll, Tessa was the most beautiful baby I'd ever seen!

I could be wrong, but I thought there was already a facebook group? I need to go set up my own facebook page!

Oh you are right! I just joined, thanks for letting me know.

 

[t-beri]

WOW! ...
Huge Thanks to the person that posted the sewmamasew blog link!

that's an awesome post!
will take me days to get through it all!

You are all very welcome! I am addicted to searching blogs for free pdf patterns and tutorials. It's really a shame that I am so cheap. but I have quite a nice collection of patterns...crochet, knit,clothing, dolls, paper projects you name it. Now if only I could get motivated and make half of the stuff I download

One I HAVE made is that Bitty Baby Dress that was posted a few pages back. When I downloaded it it was just the preemie size and didn't have newborn and toddler variations.
It takes me FOREVER to sew anything, I swear but other than the cutting (there were a lot of parts for this little dress!) I promise it went together in 15 minutes. It was one of the quickest, easiest things I've ever made. I made a little Tinker Bell dress for my DH's cousins VERY preemie baby. It took her a while to grow into (she was only 2 pounds and change at birth) but it was adorable once it fit!

I haven't been on in awhile, but I just wanted to add that when my kids have a high fever my pediatrician recommends alternating between tylenol and motrin every 4 hrs. That usually keep the fever down. I hope she feels better soon. Sending prayers your way!

YUP. If I don't use motrin my kids will never get rid of their fevers.

 

[HeatherSue]

I keep saying that on one of our trips to my mom's we'll have to go to Huckleberry Railroad! I remember going there as a kid.
Probably would be a downer after Disney though.



Good thing your mom had that ugly doll to compare her to. I bet she was MUCH cuter then.

OOHH!! You should come with us!!

VERY true!!

...and of course, there is Penny from The Rescuers!


Put a curtain on the door!

Penny from the Rescuers. You're too silly!

I can't put a curtain on the door because it's a pocket door and we couldn't slide them shut. But, I could put some of that sticky film stuff on the window panes to obscure the view a bit.

POSSIBLE FAREWELL TO HEATHER'S SEWING ROOM

She was a good sewing room, but she may be lost soon, due to a very good reason. I am dying to tell you all the reason, but I can't yet (no, I'm not pregnant)! I will tell you as soon as I am allowed, though. It may not happen at all, so I may be able to keep my sewing room, after all. Okay, that's enough cryptic talk.

I took some new pictures for the occasion:
The view from the doorway. I put my Cinderella's castle picture in the chair for you all to see because I never got around to hanging it up.

Here's the view into the attached bathroom:

Here's the empty drawer in my desk...

That used to contain all of this stuff, until the drawer fell off and the stuff went everywhere...

Here's the drawer on my other desk:

My beautiful Marathon thread. It was pretty inexpensive, thanks for the link, Jessica!

My Husqvarna serger and good 'ol Brother. Tessa put my initials on it with puffy stickers:

The Viking Designer 1 that I have on permanent loan from my cousin.

My stash, along with t-shirts and 1/2 finished projects:

ETA: Here are closeups of my stash:

These are my character fabrics and flannels:

My shameful tote full of scraps in the corner.

My ironing board, stand-less tv, and such:

My unorganized by any method ribbons on a pants hanger. I have more ribbons, but I ran out of room:

My entire closet that Henry organized for me (it looked better before I started using it again).

Doesn't it look nice with the doors shut?

There yah have it! I know you didn't ask for it and that was way too many pictures, but tough!!

 

[Jennia]

ah shucks, thanks
that's only a small part of it, too ...
the FULL BOLTS are stacked to the ceiling on a high shelf all around the room ...
Plus, there's hanging fabric below the counter top.
It's a SMALL 12'x12' room ... so really had to organize to get it all to fit ... and still be able to work in here a bit.
click to enlarge.
older pixs =




Would love-love-love to have more room & cabinets to hide everything away!

Hi there folks! I have been off for a bit. Lots of cleaning the house stuff. I had a good weekend. I went on another date! yay... but with a different guy! hahaha Got my stuff to do my first applique, Im excited! I will be doing that after I make the crayon roll ups for the big give.

Here is what I Finished tonight, just in time. ha! Its for my roomie's dd. She is not a dress girl, so she will wear this over a white shirt and jeans.


Im going to try to get a picture of the girls wearing their St. Patty's day fashions tomorrow. Hope they are both in good moods. haha

Very cute and bright, that's going to look great over jeans!

That room looks huge! I'm definitely having craft room envy. Mine is combined with the guest room, and it's a total mess in there.

OT: I have braces, and one of my brackets loosened on Sunday, so it's still attached to the wire but it's spinning around/won't stay in place. I called Monday, and they can't see me until Thursday, so I have to avoid eating on that side of my mouth until I can go in. Pretty annoying.

 

[DisneyMom5]

Heather - and everyone else that has recently posted sewing rooms and fabric stashes...I stand in awe of your stash.

I do not sew a lot nor do I scrapbook, because I have an inexplainable addiction to fabric and paper.

I could go into JoAnns to the Quilting section and just roll around in the bolts and bolts of beautiful fabric. The scrapbooking section also.
[Oh, beautiful Disneyworld stickers, why do you mock me so...]

So, because I know my problem (admitting it is the first step, no?),
I avoid temptation by avoiding JoAnns.

So, yes, hanging out here with you all is a bit of a co-dependent thing,
but it saves my sanity and the bank account of my dh.


Continue with all the amazing sewing you were doing.
I'll be here, admiring.

My children are on Spring Break this week WOO HOO! We have tickets to Disney on Ice for Thursday evening. WOO HOO! BUT WAIT! AbbyGrace wakes up yestereday morning with a fever. We alternate Tylenol and Motrin all day, and her fever drops, but never goes away. SO, we spent the morning at the pediatricians office. Turns out she has the flu, and an ear infection. My poor baby! She's spending her vey first spring break in bed feeling miserable. It looks like our trip is cancelled, and we're staying home pumping fluids into my baby girl. My DH is picking up her scripts right now, I sure hope they help her.


Heather, I love the tribute to your sewing room! If there's one positive thing about AbbyGrace being sick, it's that I have the time to straighten out my craft room this week. I've already started, and I hope to be finished re-organizing everything either today or tomorrow. I'll snap some pictures when I get it complete.

She is so beautiful! And incredibly tiny!! My daughter was 8lbs - I can't imagine 5lb!! Congrats!

Oh!!! It's an obsession. Worse than sewing. Here are a few things I have done recently...

These cards are amazing!! I do not need a new hobby...I do not need a new hobby...!! Just beautiful!

This just breaks my heart. I did not know this family but my heart just aches for their loss. My thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time.

Oh no, I hope your little guy is feeling better today. Is he?

Yes, we need to get together when you come to Michigan! If you're up here at the same time as Cindee, we'll all have to go to Huckleberry Railroad together!

]I had to take him back to the doctor today. Hed is still sick. I hate it when kids are sick.

Oh yes, I so wanna head back to Michigan soon!!! When is Cindee visiting? Are you talking about Cindy and Morgan???? Sweet!!! What is Huckleberry Railroad? Who cares, I'm in!!! Hahaha.

Ugh, I am not getting a lot accomplished today. I had to run a boat load of errands so that always saps my energy. Anyway, here is a beret I made for a skit. JoAnn's did not have any black ribbing so I had to use gray and I am not happy with the way it turned out. The girl who wore it liked it though!

[the_seamstress]

I thought I had done this already = but I can't find it anywhere!
so here it goes!
A BIG HELLO & Shout OUT
to Teresa, Heather & all the other "ole" disboutiquers !
and of course, the new ones, too !

I deeply apologize for having been away for so long recently.
Those silly doctors kept changing my meds & I was quite sick for quite awhile (again!) + they kept diagnosing me with other things, that they'd have to play with more meds for awhile = ugH! ... I've never felt so much like a guinea pig in all of my life.

No, I'm not contagious, still. ... I'm fortunate enough to be able to keep it all to myself ... heheeehe

Anyways, I am, just now, starting to feel much better !
Please, forgive me, for my absense!

So I guess you sew more than just for the occasional Disney trip?? That is impressive and amazing! You have everything at your fingertips

Actually, I've sewn ever since I could remember, mostly for myself, family & friends, etc ... + I've sewn for a living off & on since high school.
But, after we had the two girls (now 4&6 ... both special & one lives on a liquid diet), I could not go back to work outside the home ...

So, now, I mainly sew to help pay for our food & my older daughter's liquid dietary needs. DH covers EVERYTHING, but sometimes needs help at the end of the month, ya know how it is.
+ things have been particularly "bad" around here, between the slumping economy, eb@y's serious-slow-down over the last 3-5 years, and businesses/factories/shoppes drying up, all over michigan here, etc. ...
Luckily, somehow, I worked myself into a small niche of customers & friends that are fortunate enough to go to DW on a regular basis, and most of them can't sew/applique = so, I help them out when they need me =).

On a brighter note = DH is just now finishing up furthering his degrees (has been taking 1-2 classes all year around for last 5-6 years) ... so, who knows?! If we play our cards right, we might actually get to go to DW for a first time within the next year or two. yeah!

Plus, recently, I scraped up enough extra cash, to re-open my old website ... I hope to start filling it with sewing supplies, then MAYBE add a few of my own creations, &/or do resells for other seamstresses ... especially after that new CPSIA law goes into effect full blast (UGH! Do NOT get me started on that one!) ... I dunno 100% for sure yet. ... Maybe I'll have to go into website design for extra money, at least until DH gets a much-needed-higher-paying-job ...

Okay...you have more ribbon than my local craft shop does :

I just get sick of dragging my two little ones (they're VERY LOUD & ROWDY!!!) to the store, so I stock up. DH hates it, but hey, I put up with his scooters & cars = and those take up far more room than my sewing stuff does.

Thanks for all the tips! I just love drooling over your sewing room! I currently have all my scraps sorted and in plastic baggies and thrown in a tote. It's just so hard to see them in there!

Did you see this blog page yet ... ?

She makes it look sooo pretty.

Devon = I finally got her awake enough to take her medicine...right now her fever is 104.4...so I am on edge until it lowers enough....I fear seizures and all with high fevers...so I am keeping a close eye on her right now....I hate it when kiddos are sick...I go into weird mode. Hopefully things will turn around with the motrin and I can finish my chores and, yes, maybe even sew. I just feel very crumby and alone.

ahhh, poor thang. I feel for ya both!
my little ones don't let me give them liquid or suppository meds very easily = if at all.
so, I resort to large re-useable ice packs, laid out on the sofa with a towel over them ... mostly up near the neck & head, sometimes the upper back area ... then have them lay on them. it really helps ... and if it's too cold, add another towel, until they warm up a tiny bit. ... we found our large ice packs at a medical supply store, they are 10"x4" & cost about $3 each ... but they've already lasted for many years~ I even used them on my swollen ankles when I was preggo with the girls
Bunches of Well Wishes to you two!!!

HEY FRIENDS, I NEED HELP....

Im looking for fabric with JUST CINDERELLA on it. I am will to buy, cheat, steal, or trade. I need 3 yards, or I can make only one dress and get something different for the other twin in that case I only need 1 1/2 yard.

Please pm me if you can help. I have been to WalMart, Hancock fabric, and Hobby lobby. Have not checked JoAnn fabrics yes, will later this week but I hav ebeen all over town. The good news is that it is 67 degrees here today and I loved being out of the house for a few hours.

Thanks for your help, Michelle

Hi everyone! New here, and pretty new to sewing. I have been reading your post since I found it the other day. I am only up to page 58 so far, but I did want to say that you all are super talented! I am amazed by some of your creations, and my daughter's are always checking out the pictures behind me and suggesting that I make them some of the beautiful dresses ad such. Here is a picture of my latest projects that are finished. these are for my two daughter's and I also made my neices dresses out of the same fabric ( different patterns) but I forgot to take pics of them before I gave them to them. I'll be sure to post a picture of the four of them wearing their dresses to church!

I've only been able to get in on Ebay. There are about 3 blue I know of, a lavender. And another lavendar with the storybook scene.

Oh these are so pretty. Love the color combo.

Ugh, I am not getting a lot accomplished today. I had to run a boat load of errands so that always saps my energy. Anyway, here is a beret I made for a skit. JoAnn's did not have any black ribbing so I had to use gray and I am not happy with the way it turned out. The girl who wore it liked it though!

And I hope everyone is having a great St. patrick's Day!

Bonjour Megan! Oui, you look tres jolie, mon ami. I probably spelled everything wrong and I know "you look" are not French words!

You have the prettiest little girls! You know I'm kidding, Jacob!!

Heather - and everyone else that has recently posted sewing rooms and fabric stashes...I stand in awe of your stash.

I do not sew a lot nor do I scrapbook, because I have an inexplainable addiction to fabric and paper.

I could go into JoAnns to the Quilting section and just roll around in the bolts and bolts of beautiful fabric. The scrapbooking section also.
[Oh, beautiful Disneyworld stickers, why do you mock me so...]

So, because I know my problem (admitting it is the first step, no?),
I avoid temptation by avoiding JoAnns.

So, yes, hanging out here with you all is a bit of a co-dependent thing,
but it saves my sanity and the bank account of my dh.


Continue with all the amazing sewing you were doing.
I'll be here, admiring.

The next time you come over, you can roll around in my fabric. Then again, maybe not.

My children are on Spring Break this week WOO HOO! We have tickets to Disney on Ice for Thursday evening. WOO HOO! BUT WAIT! AbbyGrace wakes up yestereday morning with a fever. We alternate Tylenol and Motrin all day, and her fever drops, but never goes away. SO, we spent the morning at the pediatricians office. Turns out she has the flu, and an ear infection. My poor baby! She's spending her vey first spring break in bed feeling miserable. It looks like our trip is cancelled, and we're staying home pumping fluids into my baby girl. My DH is picking up her scripts right now, I sure hope they help her.


Heather, I love the tribute to your sewing room! If there's one positive thing about AbbyGrace being sick, it's that I have the time to straighten out my craft room this week. I've already started, and I hope to be finished re-organizing everything either today or tomorrow. I'll snap some pictures when I get it complete.

Poor little AbbyGrace! I'm sorry you had to cancel your trip. I hope she starts feeling better soon!

Oh yes, I so wanna head back to Michigan soon!!! When is Cindee visiting? Are you talking about Cindy and Morgan???? Sweet!!! What is Huckleberry Railroad? Who cares, I'm in!!! Hahaha.

Yes, that's the Cindee I was referring to!! I don't know for sure what dates she will be here yet. Here's a link to Huckleberry Railroad and Crossroads Village. I haven't been there since I was a kid. It may be hokey, but I remember having fun!

Tessa was 6lbs, 4oz and pretty long. She was almost a month early. So, she was really skinny when she was born. I gotta say, it took her several weeks to "cuten up". Yes, I said it! My newborn was not beautiful!

I thought my 4lb, 10.5 oz; 18" preemie looked like ET with her sunken chest, so I know what you mean about needing time to "cuten up"!

It's good to know I'm not the only one. Tessa looked a lot like Clay Aiken when she was born.

Lookie what I got! My new grand-daughter, Taylor Elise. 5 lbs, 4 oz and 17.25 inches long.

That's my IPhone beside her to give scale to the picture.

Congratulations! That is so exciting! She is beautiful. Have a wonderful time with her!

ah shucks, thanks
that's only a small part of it, too ...
the FULL BOLTS are stacked to the ceiling on a high shelf all around the room ...
Plus, there's hanging fabric below the counter top.
It's a SMALL 12'x12' room ... so really had to organize to get it all to fit ... and still be able to work in here a bit.
click to enlarge.
older pixs =


homemade patterns & projects get hung in baggies =


after moving some stuff around, recently = had to add more stuff, right?!


It's a small room, so it's hard to backup enough to get good pixs ...
there's a big U shaped work counter all around the room ... minus just enough wall space a 4'x2.5' light table, and a 3.5'x6' cutting table ... + there's a rolling storage/triple ironing board/photo display counter that moves about the middle, like an island.

there's a curtain hanging from that bar, along the top shelf, that holds my velvet backdrop for photos.

the counters hold my serger, 2 counter-inset all-metal sewing machines, an embroidery machine, and a backup plastic sewing machine (for buttonholes) ...

I'll try to take pixs of the island & counters when they are cleaned up a bit more = messy right now, from sewing.

only one cook in this kitchen, mind you.

I'm working on getting us moved about of here & into a bigger place = some day.
Would love-love-love to have more room & cabinets to hide everything away!

Oh my! I don't even know where to start with what I want to say about your room! I'll just leave it at this....... !
