I am in the process of washing all the Fabric I have stashed

 

[Haganfam5]

How is Carla's bowling shirt pattern? Is it very hard?

I really need to start making something for my son and this one looks cute for the boys.

No, it's not hard, like someone said as long as you follow the directions you will be fine. With my second one, I did not follow along with the directions and I had a hard time with the collar.

I think the hardest part is the button holes.....which I finally attempted on my sons Mickey shirt. By the time I got to the bottom hole, they got rather large. Here is how it turned out:

The second one I made is a Simpsons one that my son wanted. Sorry about it being wrinkled, he wore it already and I had in the wash. I just figured I would show you since you asked about them. I didn't line this one and there is No buttons yet......hey, my son liked it!

I don't know why I only took a front shot, but the back is like the Mickey one just Simpsons.

Have fun!

 

[carrie6466]

This came out great!

Every time I see stuff from Hancock's, I wish we had them around here ::sigh:: I really like that Mickey one

 

[roscoepc1]

Michele....it came! It came! It came! Thank you SO much!!!

It's even cuter in person, and Melissa is going to love it! I cn't wait to go shopping to get some coordinating fabric to finish it out...

 

[Haganfam5]

Here is another little something I put together with some tutti frutti fabric for my d8. The bottoms are capris and the top ties around the neck. The back meets at the center with a hook and loop to fasten it. I didn't use a pattern, I just had a little vision and went with it. I just loved the fabric and I think it came out cute. When she wears it, I will post some pics.

I bought the fabric at Joanns and I thought I got a bargain at $3.99. Then I went to Walmart and found some for $2.97! I couldn't believe it. THe same material and brand. I think they had last years stuff because I had bought some like it last year at Joanns. Either way, you can't beat that price!

What a great jobs.. those are cute. I do love the simpsons on.


I will have to buy the pattern and give it a shot. I have some cars fabric I want to do it with.

Thank you!

Board shorts would be a great idea for me to do too! I think I have to get more fabric though. My son really wanted it and I had no idea what I was going to do with it so I only bought a half a yard of both. Now I need more!

Thank you LisaNJ25 too! Cars would be great!

 

[Family Loves Disney]

I have a question. I used to be apart of this thread a few years ago. As our vacation came and went, I did not frequent this thread anymore. Now we have reservations for Feb 2010, dd and ds have outgrown their custom Disney outfits. I have looked on voldermort and I am not finding my old friends who use to make the clothes for me, I have even emailed them and the emails come back undeliverable. Can someone help me with names or emails of those that can make some clothes for me? Please PM me if you can. I appreciate it. I would attempt to make the clothes myself, but everytime I even look at my sewing maching, it breaks. I wish I had friends or family living close by to help me, but I don't which is why I am asking for help. TIA.

 

[Jennia]

Now I've done it!
I went to the fabric store for no good reason and came home poorer....
Not horribly, but still more than my fabric budget had room for

I rarely go to the Hancock Fabrics here because the staff is big on attitude, but I decided to brave it and my DD2 paved the way to softening the staff with her cuteness .

They have the Disney/Licensed prints all mixed in with everything so it was a hunt, but I found some things I have had my eye out for. She found a Little Einstein fabric. And I also got a red, white and blue print that I really liked. All at 40% off, except the Nemo... which might be DDs favorites.

So we are washing our new fabrics, and I am trying to get DD to take a nap so I can go cut our a roundneck dress for her......her eyes are closed so its looking good!

Cute Hanna Montana Skort! Great job.

Oooh, cute, might have to run to Hancock's sometime!

Very cute, like that shade of blue.

So DH is acting better today, but never apologized for last night. He DID make cookies, though, so I suppose he's forgiven. DD didn't want much to do with him, today, though-apparently she holds a grudge.

 

[teresajoy]

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!

Great hat, cute kids!!

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 !

Did the doctors figure out what is going on? I hope you are doing well now!! Everytime I'm up in your neck of the woods I keep my eyes open for yah!

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

:

Great bows!!! Those are really pretty! And I love the little outfit!

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.

That is so funny! Corey was gorgeous when he was born!! But, the first thing I said to my darling Arminda when they showed her to me was, "Oh you are not as cute as your brother was."!! She grew out of that soon enough and got pretty though!! Lydia was pretty cute right away too. Corey was the prettiest though!

.

I love the purse!!! Hey, did I ever post the pictures of the purse that wonderful sweet Steph made for me??? I uploaded them, but I think I forgot to post!!!

they were a huge hit and that was before they saw the "grandma" and "grandpa" embroidered on the front of the.

Hmmm, do you think that child will sleep anytime soon

I love the hats and the nightgown!!! So cute!!!
I'd go with the pink.

Ok here is Wubzy! He looks better from a distance! LOL Ok so does my yard!

Marlo, that looks great!!! YOu did a fantastic job!!!!

Seeing all the wonderful fabric stashes and sewing rooms some of you have (and thinking about sewing for new baby Taylor) made me have the craziest dream last night.

We are bursting at the seams in our house. I'd love to have a spare room. Well last night I dreamed I "found" not one. but two rooms that I'd just never noticed before and one of them was a sewing room.

Penny

I have dreams like that sometimes!!! When I'll just find rooms I never knew we had!!! I'm always disapointed when I wake up!!!

I got to hold a new little baby today!! She was 7 weeks old and SOOO cute and pretty!!! It was so nice to just snuggle a little baby!

How old is Jacob? (Nikki is 9) I am all for pre arranged marriages to a good family

Wait isn't he Tessa's? Or are you studding your son off? !

He's ARMINDA'S!!!

REALLY, Steph!

Yeah!!! What Heather said!

Although Arminda says they are JUST FRIENDS! They are too young to be boyfriend/girlfriend.

That purse I was talking about, Jacob picked out the fabric for, and Steph made Arminda a little wristlet too!

Happy Happy me finally finished some sewing today...my back isn't hurting as bad, so I was able to sit and stand a little easier.

I finished a skort for my BFF's DD5...she is a big HM fan...my kids are not...so no models...plus my only option was Timmy...he was not going for the skirt!

!

I love that, it's so pretty!

How is Carla's bowling shirt pattern? Is it very hard?

I really need to start making something for my son and this one looks cute for the boys.

It's a very good pattern! Carla has excellent directions!

Really cute!

 

[lucyanna girl]

I'm going to stay with my son and daughter-in-law tomorrow - Sunday to help her with little Taylor and her brother Ty. I'm gonna see how many kisses I can give those two precious babies.

I can't wait!

Penny

 

[HeatherSue]

Okay, we had a HORRIBLE St. Patrick's night. I decided to take DH and dd out to dinner, which for some reason dh was whining about having to go out. . .even though he ran in with us to get laundry detergent at the grocery store. Anyway, we go in, get seated, get our drinks. Everything going fine, but dh still giving me dirty looks for dragging him out in public. Then, they give me my salad-dd eats one little bite, and begins vomiting EVERYWHERE!!!! I couldn't get out of the booth right away because dh wouldn't move the high chair, and just kept yelling at me, "Get her to the bathroom!" When I do get in there, I even have vomit in my *shoes* and she's still throwing up. The automatic towel dispenser wasn't working, either, luckily another mom came in with her baby, saw what was happening, and gave me some baby wipes. We come back out and I tell the waitress we're going to just leave and skip dinner, so they waive the check for our drinks/uneaten salad (which was so nice), and dh continues to be a snothead in the car. Then he decides to stop for pizza (while our dd is STILL crying and sick) and is in there for what feels like ever. When we get home, he's still being a brat, and goes straight downstairs with his food and won't help give her a bath or help with her so I can take one. Phew, end of vent. =P

UGH!! I've been there with the vomitting kid (Sawyer throws up a LOT)! There's nothing worse than trying to carry them through a restaurant in that state! We usually try to ride it out in one spot and then make a dash when we think he's done. I'm sorry your DH was being such a poopy head.

Warning = Going off on a hair color tangent for a moment ...
(*'mind you, I'm not an expert, but I used to be a hair dresser, and when I was working in that area, color was my specialty, before I left to focus on another job/my own clothing store, way back when.)

Sorry, it took me awhile to get back to computer ...
WOW! I think it looks good!
People pay big bucks to have their turn out like that!
But I understand that it might not have been what you were looking for.

1st thing to Consider = It WILL FADE gently with every wash
You might just want to wait it out, and just re-dye it when it's longer or after your next haircut.
If that's the route you go = buy some dandruff shampoo (aka "a hair colorist's worst nightmare")
This Slowly FADES the Color with Every Wash ... PLUS ... Consider some blonding shampoos/conditioners, to gently tone down any left over red/brassiness, as it's slowly fading from the dandruff shampoo.

IF you decide it NEEDS TO BE FIXED & NOW = Things to consider =
Note : These are things that anyone will run into when they try to fix red, even a hairdresser. It's the nature of the chemicals really = one never knows exactly what the results will be, until AFTER they are tested & tried on the hair.

Some Hair Coloring Facts =
COVERING RED DYES, without going too dark, is tricky ... & the red could still shine through anyways.
REMOVING RED DYES, with some form of color stripper/remover, bleach or a lightening hair dye = most often times, the hair color results are rather orange-ish to bright orange. Not so much with more newer color strippers/removers ... more often with bleach & lightening dyes, especially without neutralizing additives.

In your case, I THINK that you like the upper color blonde (is that correct?), a RINSE won't help much to calm to the red ... because the rinses are temporary/semi-permanent "fixes/adjustments" and are very liquidy = hence they will surely effect the pretty blonde you have on top.

Knowing that, My advice / suggestions :
NOTE = IF you really want to make sure that the top blonde is NOT effected = CAREFULLY, prep the hair by sectioning out all the pretty top blonde hair, that you don't want colored = get assistance, and possibly a 3-way mirror & a good light, so you can see it clearly. Also, consider CAREFULLY, applying vaseline on the base of the good blonde hair to prevent color seepage up into that area, even on it's roots ...

option 1. Try a permanent or semi-permanent COOL medium blonde dye on the bottom = that's a blonde with a "blue base", to help neutralize the red & copper tones from the red dye. ...
If it's not neutralized enough when you are done (meaning too brassy or red still), wait a day or so & try a toner to help neutralize it a bit more. OR get some BLONDE shampoo (it's purple) & / or conditioner, to gently neutralize it daily ...

option 2. Try a color remover/stripper on the red part underneath ... This is a re-dye PREP step = meaning = this would help you get the hair back to a more neutral state so that you can redye it, to a more preferred hair color. ... I prefer to only use WATER with these strippers, since some can be a bit harsh.
There's a good chance that it won't turn orange-ish & you'll be fine. But just in case it does = don't freak out. The above toners & Blonding Shampoos/Conditioners will definately help.

HOW TO GET THIS DONE =
You COULD TRY to find a hair dresser to do this for you ... but please keep these things in mind =
a truely talented, experienced & enabled color specialist is hard to find! Not ever hairdresser is a color specialist. ... (*ppl don't get mad at me for saying that = it's the schools = they cover the basics = vast amounts of color training & experience is usually only available as private studies in HUGE, name branded salons = positions are few & far between = that's just how it is in that business.)

Also, most normal hairdressers usually don't go out & buy things special (a few do/can, though), and they usually use what's in their shop = some are contracted to ONLY USE what the shop supplies in their back room (it's part of how the shop makes money on the supplies, from the hair dresser's services) ... so, they might be limited or restricted on what they have available to use, chemical-wise. Most won't tell you this fact (or can't by contract), and most will/can not OFFER to go get the stuff that you may really need for this specific job. ... Plus, they are limited on / charge by TIME, in most cases = and color correction does take much time, and sometimes 2-3 visits a few days apart, to fix it right.
Going to a hair dresser may just be as much of a gamble as going to Sally's Beauty Supply, and doing it yourself with a friend or DH helping separate it. It will definately COST ALOT MORE! And there's no guarantee it'll be fixed correctly in one vist. ... like in my best friend's case = the last time she had to get a hairdresser to help her with her hair color (I wasn't available), it cost over $200-$250 per visit (times two) & she still walked out with orange stripes, that I had to fix later anyways.

I'm not trying to scare you = Just FYI what people don't usually tell about this topic.
If I were in your shoes, I'd buy some dandruff shampoo, and some blonding shampoos/conditions, and wait a month of two = THEN try to fix it myself (maybe with a friend, if I want the hair separated again) ... but that's just me.
But really = It looks great, the way it is ... Good Luck! Hope this helps.

WOW!!! That is so helpful- and I don't even color my hair!

I love it!! Thanks for not subjecting Timmy to that kind of humiliation like SOME moms around here do!

I LOVE the Mickey fabric! I don't think I've ever seen it before!

Thank goodness there are some new posts! 2 hours and 15 minutes passed after my post (which never happens around here) so I thought I killed the Disboutiqers thread. This is one of the busiest threads on the dis and the thought that I killed it made me go.

There is no killing the disboutiquers thread! Not even when we entertained each other with renditions of the diarrhea song! Aaahhh...those were the days...

That is okay Madi thinks DJ Lance is her Papa John, My FIL.

Papa John! That's my dad!!

Progress on the revamp of my craft room has been very slow! Of course, it involved measuring, drilling & hanging of new things on the wall. Which is ok with me, and I'd be just fine doing it. My DH volunteers to help - which is helpful until it's not! I've FINALLY got my embellishment center on the wall. I'm still loading that thing up, and then I've got a few more Ikea rails to hang. I'm not sure that it will be done today after all. I may be working on it tomorrow too! I still promise to post pics, though!

I can't wait to see pictures! Henry doesn't like me to drill holes into the walls- at all! So, I have to wait for him to do it. This is why there are very few pictures on my walls!

Very cute, but where are your models?

I got to hold a new little baby today!! She was 7 weeks old and SOOO cute and pretty!!! It was so nice to just snuggle a little baby!

Where?? What baby!! I wanna hold a baby!!

How is Carla's bowling shirt pattern? Is it very hard?

I really need to start making something for my son and this one looks cute for the boys.

It's really not hard at all! As long as you follow the directions, everything should go pretty smoothly!

Oh, have fun!!

It's officialy Tessa's 6th birthday. She was born at the stroke of midnight between March 19 and March 20. So, we got to choose her birthday. My midwife said she's never seen it happen in all her years of practice. We chose March 19 because that was my grandpa's birthday.

Where has the time gone?

I told you she looked like Clay Aiken as a newborn! She was 3 weeks old in that picture.
