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

[danicaw]

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:

Thank you!

Love this!

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

!

Ooo! Card making is my other crafty hobby.... I love yours, great stuff.
Thanks for sharing!

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."

Thanks for the tips. Stephres posted that they do have a disboutiquers group, I need to go join it

The thread has been moving past the last few days and I have just now caught up with it all.
Lots of great stuff. Love the pink with dots. And what a beautiful new little baby! Congratulations! And all the Green for today is soo fun!
DD is finally napping so I think I am going to try to get some fabric cut.

I wish I could get some Sewing in but the kids are home all week for Intersession. I did get this done on Sunday.

I still have to Finish this Bow Holder

I also made this a week ago.

The Mickey Moms Club is a panel I joined over a year ago to give insight and advice on WDW parks. I was not chosen as a Finalist but as a member of the club. As for the Party I do not know what will come but I did have to write 3 essays about my Family, our Vacations and our Plans for our next Vacation. I also recieved a Car Magnet that says M

On an unrelated note I dyed my hair last night and it turned out I look Like a Blonde and Red SKUNK!! Now I must figure out how to fix it

On an unrelated note I dyed my hair last night and it turned out I look Like a Blonde and Red SKUNK!! Now I must figure out how to fix it

What were you going FROM ...
What were you trying to go TO ...
What did you USE ...
(was it bleach or dye/lightener? & what did you use for developer/what strength? )
What exactly was the results ?

Do you have a Sally's Beauty Supply near you?

There's rinses, toners, and tinted shampoos (color boosters) ...
but it really depends on the questions above, as to what you should try to use now to fix it.

Poor Devon is still sick

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.

Nothing worse than sick kids! Noah- my smaller guy- is sick in bed with an ear infection and a fever right now. I spent most of the night awake because I can't sleep when one of my guys is fevery (yes I know that's not a real word ). Cool washclothes seem to have the biggest effect on my kids.

older pixs =


homemade patterns & projects get hung in baggies =


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

Amazing. If my sewing room and stash could see this, they would hang their heads in shame.

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

So cute and perfect for a girl who doesn't like skirts.

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!

Isaac was stunning and beautiful the second he was born. Noah, ummmm, yeah not so much. He is cute as a button now, but when he was born I really thought he was going to be one ugly kid.

POSSIBLE FAREWELL TO HEATHER'S SEWING ROOM

She was a good sewing room,
Here's the view into the attached bathroom:

I love that you have an attached bathroom, so convenient!

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.

Sadly I have this same problem and yet I do not avoid JoAnns. I can not go in and spend less than $50 and I go in so often the cutting table ladies and cashiers know my kids by name. It's a real problem.

I really like these, the colors are beautiful.

 

[jessica52877]

Heather - I enjoyed seeing your room and all your thread! I am so jealous of the thread looking all nice! Guess I should organize mine all nice again. I need to make an order NOW because I am out of several colors and keep using slightly off colors.

I love to see sewing room pictures so keep them coming! Even if it is the kitchen table.

 

[Tykatmadismomma]

I was going a darker blonde with Light blode on top. I used a Dark Blonde haircolor I bought from The Dollar Tree ( Yes I know Stupid for thinking "Hey I 'll get what I want for a buck!") So I colored the Bottom layer and it just didnt look right the cream was dark red! so I washed it out and this is what I had!

There is a Sally's, about 20 miles away

I LOVE the bows and bow holder. The pillowcase dress is so sweet! I have a thing for little pockets, so I love it!

Aww... sorry to hear your little guy is sick! My kids like cool washclothes, too. In fact, if I'm not feeling well, Tessa always gets me one.

Sawyer was gorgeous right away, too! I'm almost glad he wasn't first because I would have expected the same from Tessa!

Did anyone with keen eyesight notice my Mickey soaps on the counter in the bathroom? They came from Pop Century!

I love seeing sewing room pictures, too! I agree, post pictures of where you sew! We wanna see it!

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

THat is really pretty!!

Wow..those are really cute cards! I have said for years that I want to start making cards...so I go out buy myself some stamps, and they have been sitting in my drawers for years!

Love the Dr. Seuss outfit!!! I love how you hang the outfits with clothes pin...I might have to steal your idea, if you don't mind.

Congratulations! She is so tiny...so precious!

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

Wow..I love your sewing room, and love that it has an attached bathroom! Would you/Jessica mind sharing where you get those embroidery thread? Now you got me curious why you would be losing your sewing room...when I first read that, I immediately thought you were pregnant....!

 

[livndisney]

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.

Cindy? Cindee who? Oh you must mean MORGAN's MOM

I have seriously considered having my license changed to say "Morgan's Mom"


I LOVE Huckleberry Railroad!!!!! And Beth you would so totally love the photo ops at nearby Stepping Stone falls.

Happy St Patricks Day!!

I need to dust off machine since I now I have a trip planned.

Here is Belle and Will from today with the shirt I made her. The sun was in their eyes

 

[billwendy]

HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY!!!!

Love all the cute St. Patricks day stuff! We made irish soda bread (what is that supposed to taste like anyway - i cant remember but i dont think our recipe was very good) and irish potatoes (yummmy!!)

I wanted to let you know that Daniel's fever broke, and he got to come home this afternoon. They said he just had a viris, and fortunately, it didnt turn into any type of infection or pneumonia. They told him to stay at home for the rest of the week and not even come in for therapy - they want him to be as rested as possible for the start of Chemo next week....I sold 25 bracelets yesterday!!!!!!

Sounds like you had a great St. Patty's Day! The kids and I went to get some icecream today after school. Cones were .50cents if you were in green! We had a good time and it gave us something to do to celebrate.

-That is great news about Daniel. I hope he is feeling better soon! He needs his strength! Prayers being said.

-It was so sad to read about Noah today. It just broke my heart. Prayers for him and his family too!

-The new grand-baby is just adorable! What a cute little peanut!

-I have made a couple of things, nothing spectacular but I did complete my first rag quilt. Gotta get some picks up! I have so much I want to get done before Disney.......have to get focused!! It is so hard to get motivated after being sick....must get moving!!!!

Happy St. Patricks day all!!!

 

[twob4him]

sorry to barge into the thread (i've been a lurker for over a year and just posted for the first time recently, but didn't add pictures yet

if you haven't done it yet, i highly recommend putting her in a lukeWARM bath, not a cool one...my understanding is that the goal is not to get the temp way down, but lower,slowly, in general, and in my experience, warm water will do it. (although my DD still though it was torture, though)

i feel for you...my DD has had some kidney infections that cause crazy high temps (105-106), and it is awful! the warm bath (for AT LEAST 15 minutes) always brings her temp down about 2-3 degrees.

the GOOD thing to remember in all of this is that my understanding is that a high temp. can't hurt a child (unless we're talking about a baby), as long as the temp. is responding to treatment somewhat (and again, this means that her temp. will go down 2 or 3 degrees when in a warm bath, or given motrin/tylenol). i can say this calmly and rationally NOW, but i don't mean to give the impression that i'm lecturing and know it all, because i ASSURE you, the last time my baby had a temp. of 106 and was hallucinating about men coming out of the tv , i was NOT a calm, rational woman!!

not sure if this helps, but know that i'm wishing you well...

Thanks EVERYONE for your well wishes for Devon (and for helping me calm down)...although she ran a fever all day she did eat and drink lots and the motrin helped keep her temp around 99-100. So hopefully I am out of the woods for now.

As you said, I did learn that you AREN"T supposed to put feverish kids in cool water as you said. It artificially lowers the fever and then when they get out they are chilled (body stresser) and the body works over hard trying to rewarm and it can cause a spike in fever. Soooo, we just did motrin and a wet washcloth.

I am a high school teacher as many of you know and I really can't be absent for days in a row...a substitute can't just come in and teach my subject so it is very disruptive to be out like this. I had three labs planned this week instead its turning into three videos Hopefully, I can go back tomorrow. My husband also comes home from FL tomorrow! He said its been 85 and awesome and the people are so friendly. He got to watch a few spring training games! He also said there was a huge huge Joann's there.... gee thanks honey.....that's not doing me any good!


Thanks again everyone...its been a sad day with Jonah's passing. I know he is in heaven now and is perfectly happy but it is very sad for us left behind. Many prayers for his family and friends!

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



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

Oh yes, Camelotcats, that was her! I hope she comes back and visits us!

------------------------

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:

Gorgeous mirror!!!

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

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:

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

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

You all are going to kill me for not shrinking these pics. First I am exhausted, second I love all of them sooo much...serious issues here with fabric and thread and organization...is there a patch I can wear for that????

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...]

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

OK now here is someone I can relate to....I completely understand the addiction. I fantasize about owning the cute quilt shop in Ocean City NJ. Its small but stacked floor to ceiling with shelves of fabric in color order...oh so pretty to look at! I am thinking its a great Dismeet place. Serious problems here....

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.

Awww sorry about your sick little one and canceled trip Hope she is feeling better! Love the fabric...I think I have some of that...I love the alternate dots....welcome to the thread!!!

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!

Oh there are those adorable children...is that Megan...I think her mouth is shut??? Awwww I am only joshin with ya...since Heather was kiddin with Jacob! So tell me...is it really 85 there today???

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

Gosh Michelle, you are right. I just checked my stash and I have three princess fabrics but they all have mixed princesses on it...Did you check http://disneyfabrics.com/ ??



Good night everyone. Happy St. Patty's evening. We wore pink all day and ate mac and cheese for dinner....hmmmmm....and I really have some Irish in me....hope I am not banned for life

 

[Stephres]

Thanks EVERYONE for your well wishes for Devon (and for helping me calm down)...although she ran a fever all day she did eat and drink lots and the motrin helped keep her temp around 99-100. So hopefully I am out of the woods for now.

Oh there are those adorable children...is that Megan...I think her mouth is shut??? Awwww I am only joshin with ya...since Heather was kiddin with Jacob! So tell me...is it really 85 there today???

Poor Devon! I didn't put in my two cents but I always use motrin first and then if it really bad we alternate between tylenol and motrin.

Oh Cathy I have a story for you. We had an elderly chemistry teacher who was out for 6 weeks. 6 weeks of watching movies with the football coach, it was awful. And then when we got the final there was all this stuff on it that we were never taught. When my mom went in to complain about it (the only time she complained about a teacher that I can remember) she was told that since the teacher had tenure he was only required to test on the material not teach it! She was pretty hot. And that is why I didn't major in chemistry in college.

Yes, I rarely see her with her mouth shut, and I think Jessica never has! I told Jacob if he wasn't so darn beautiful people wouldn't mistake him for a girl.

I am sorry to say it was in the 80s today and just gorgeous. Someone complained that it was a little more humid today and I wanted to kick them! We don't have many days that are perfect like today!

 

[jham]

LOVE all the St. Patrick's day outfits! I forgot to take a picture of Jayden in her skirt that matches Lily's pillowcase dress!

Hannah is going to be 3 in June and Elizabeth is going to be 7 in June (their birthdays are a week apart)- I'll wait till you make yours, and then I'll have a pattern to follow!!!!

Does Jayden like the round neck tops? Bekah, 17 wants me to make her one, and I dont know what fabric to use!!! Does Jayden have a suggestion of what might be "cool"?????

Jayden saw this one I made:

and asked me to make one just like it in her size so I went and bought more fabric. (Joanns) I don't have the bigger sized pattern though, and I'll still have to enlarge it a little to a 14 I think. You could also use a plainer brown fabric instead of the big polka dots to maybe make it a little older.
I'm so glad Daniel is doing better today!

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.

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

I love your house Heather. And I love your castle picture. My craft room needs one!

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!

I don't know of any and I'm not sure what you are making, but I know there is a storybook with just Cinderella that you could use the panels of.

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!

Cute dresses!

I was going a darker blonde with Light blode on top. I used a Dark Blonde haircolor I bought from The Dollar Tree ( Yes I know Stupid for thinking "Hey I 'll get what I want for a buck!") So I colored the Bottom layer and it just didnt look right the cream was dark red! so I washed it out and this is what I had!

There is a Sally's, about 20 miles away

That doesn't look nearly as bad as I imagined! I have no advice. I used to dye my own hair and it started to look so washed out and grayish (and my hair isn't gray--yet) when I started having it done professionally I was really glad they could fix it!

Glad your daughter is feeling better. How nice of your hubby to point out the huge Joann's in Florida, maybe he stopped in and picked you up a treat ??!! I'm up for a meet at the fabric shop in Ocean City. We will be down Easter Saturday for the easter egg hunt on the beach, but have to go home for a memorial service on Sunday. I love that fabric shop, (then again I love just about every store on Asbury Ave) Everytime we stop in I could absolutely go crazy. Such beautiful fabrics and displayed so nicely. They ladies in their are so cute. They asked if I was a quilter, I said I was just learning to sew kids clothes, and they were so insistant that I must try quilting!! I said let me fiqure out how to sew first then maybe I could try quilting, one challenge at a time.

 

[longaberger_lara]

This is so cute! Would you mind telling me where you got the fabric for the main body of the shirt - I think this might be something that my now finicky 10 yo would like!

 

[jessica52877]

Love the Dr. Seuss outfit!!! I love how you hang the outfits with clothes pin...I might have to steal your idea, if you don't mind.

Wow..I love your sewing room, and love that it has an attached bathroom! Would you/Jessica mind sharing where you get those embroidery thread? Now you got me curious why you would be losing your sewing room...when I first read that, I immediately thought you were pregnant....!

Thank you! Steal away! I had always seen them with artwork and just loved them and had meant to get around to making one but never did until I decided I needed it for hanging the outfits up! I need some better clothesline. I have bought about 3 different things so far and cute ends but it does the job.

The thread is from www.marathonthread.com

The website looks a bit odd. I called the first time I ordered and spoke to the nicest lady. I told her I wanted Piglet Pink, Crayola Orange, Pooh Yellow and so on and she was right on with the colors she picked!

The 2nd time I ordered the 2 most popular sets of 50 spools. They are 1100 yds (is it yards) on a mini cone as you saw in Heather's picture. The price is great at $75.

Hi - where is the fabric shop on Asbury?? i cant believe I havent been in there!! i havent been on Asbury too much lately - we go to Calvary Chapel there on the cornere - and sometimes the hardware store or Hoys....but I gotta find this!!! What is your favorite OC restaurant?

http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd149/jhaml/DSCN4572-1-1.jpg[/IMG]

and asked me to make one just like it in her size so I went and bought more fabric. (Joanns) I don't have the bigger sized pattern though, and I'll still have to enlarge it a little to a 14 I think. You could also use a plainer brown fabric instead of the big polka dots to maybe make it a little older.
I'm so glad Daniel is doing better today

ooh - that is really cool!! i love it! thanks for thinking of Daniel!!

Cathy - I hope Devon is feeling better soon - how is she tonight? I always feel worse at night time....if you open a quilt shop in OC, I'll be there every weekend in the summer!! Will you have coupons!!!???

Prayers for Noah's family. One thing I have learned from the many special families I work with at the hospital, is that the family just doesnt know what to do with themselves after their dear one has departed. So much of live was spent caring for their childs daily needs, which takes hours and hours - and lots of appointments. So they feel really lost - praying that they will remember all the fun times they had with Noah and remember that he is in a much better place now, free from a wheelchair, and a trach - God Bless them all....

Prayers for Jonah's family.

Sorry to hear about all the sick kiddos. I've got 2 down with fevers myself. I am so done with winter!

Oh you can sew for her. One of my the things I think about that makes me sad is that my DD didn't have any tiny little dresses when she was first born. I was told someone else was making some smocked dresses for me. I was miserable during my pregnancy and for about 6 months afterwards, so I thought I'd just wait for those dresses. They never showed up. Now looking back I think I would have forced myself to sit up and sew! Those pictures of tiny babies in handmade clothing are just priceless in my opinion. You could also make the the itty bitty dress. Those look darling on newborns if you don't want to tackle anything really hard. I keep meaning to post the pattern here in case no one knows about it. FREE PATTERN ALERT!

If you read farther down, she has a toddler version too.
I haven't made one yet because I have another pattern that I bought that is very similar.

Thanks for posting that! Cute dress and I got the pattern for this bag there too. I made if for a charity auction.

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!

Those are great!

Cute bows but your little one is just darling!

I wanted to let you know that Daniel's fever broke, and he got to come home this afternoon. They said he just had a viris, and fortunately, it didnt turn into any type of infection or pneumonia. They told him to stay at home for the rest of the week and not even come in for therapy - they want him to be as rested as possible for the start of Chemo next week....I sold 25 bracelets yesterday!!!!!!

What great news on Daniel!
