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

[HeatherSue]

No, that one is regular frosting. He does use fondant sometimes. Yes, he makes (from scratch) and decorates all the birthday cakes.

Some others he has done:

for my grandma's birthday

for Cara's first birthday

Cara's girly birthday

Cara's tea party

Jenna's Tinkerbell

Wow! He's really talented! I love the jewelry box! I thought it must be fondant because it looked so smooth!

You may have noticed that my cake was nowhere near smooth because I use a mixture of pudding and whipped cream for the frosting. It doesn't look smooth, but it tastes really good!

 

[Jennia]

GREAT JOB!!! I love those~!


That is such a pretty bracelet!! They are going to love those!

Thanks, I certainly hope so! =)

I just got the sweetest thank you and I wanted to share it with everyone.

I have done some little things here and there for various people on the boards and off the boards. But I ran across one family that just touched my heart. Due to various medical reasons they thought for years they would not be able to go to WDW. They finally got things in place and starting planning a trip for their DD and I read part of their story and emailed the mom and asked if I could make a dress for her DD. She relpied back touched that I had offered, but "I did not need to go through all that trouble". I ummm "insisted" LOL. She mentioned a few things her DD liked and I made an outfit and delivered it to their hotel as a surprise for her DD.

Fast foward to a few weeks later, I got an email from the Mom telling me how much her child had enjoyed the trip and the special attention she got. On top of that she sent me a wonderful card and pictures of her sweet daughter in the outfit I made and all the characters! You can clearly see how much her dd was enjoying it and it just made me so happy. (OK I am a sap). I know a lot of us sew for special children and we don't usually get to see the "end" result. It was very special to me to know I was "part of the magic".

(Ok I can't find a "blushing" smilie) LOL

That was so lovely of you, and I'm glad to hear that the little girl loved her outfit!

Both of my girls had their Birthday parties this weekend.

Luckily I have an Auntie Darla.

Olivia wanted a Fancy Nancy tea party. So Auntie made her a Fancy Nancy dress of course.

Then she made a proper tea party for all of the little girls.

She even brought over her real tea cups for the girls to drink out of. She then tells me that the pattern has been discontinued, but not to worry the 5 year-olds will be careful.

Sierra had a Build-A-Bear party. So Auntie made her a bear dress.

Even though her tea party was over Olivia was not going to take off her fancy nancy dress.

Sierra went to dance auditions after her party. She got cast as Raggedy Ann in Babes in Toyland. Sierra is over the moon she says it was her best day ever. Although Auntie has said no more sewing until her daughters wedding in July. I told her I could find the costume on ebay. But then Sierra was at her house last night and asked her to make it. So one more dress before the wedding.

Both of those parties look like they were so fun! Love the Fancy Nancy dress, too, amazing!

Thanks for the compliments on my cake and my birthday girl! Thanks for watching my cake kit review, too! I added some reviews featuring Tessa last night!



That is so pretty!


Nice to see you again!! Great news about the trip!! I love that you're already planning outfits!

Thanks for the bracelet compliment, I was amazed at how quick they are to make-about fifteen minutes!

Must have been the weekend for birthday parties:

Dh making dds cake:

Finished product (can you guess who it is supposed to be?)

I put a new lens on my camera and a lot of pictures didn't turn out, they were blurry. I think I am going to have to do a lot of practice shots before our trip.

WOW want to trade DHs??

Okay I am going to try this again. I finally got some sleeping pants made for my son. You can tell from the pictures he is a hugh Star Wars fan. I also made his cape a while back. We had a Star Wars party and he had to have a Yoda Cape because he had a Yoda light saber.



My little camera shy son is suppose to be showing off his sleep pants not his Star Wars pose. I made a pair for his older brother but he does not want to have his picture taken

 

[lorli]

Here are my two newest outfits. I made the Hannah Montana on Saturday for my DD8 and the Elmo and Friends shirt and pants I made yesterday. I'll try to get DD8 to model the dress so i can take a picture and post for you. it's hard to see the shape of the dress when it is just laying on the bed.

Now I need to get started on my girls Easter dresses and the Easter baskets I am making for my 3 daughters my two neices and my nephew. I have a feeling I'll be tired of Easter baskets before I get finished with them all!

I love the Hannah Montana dress for your dd 8. Did you use a specific pattern or did you create it on your own? This is something I think my dd 7 would enjoy and may have to try my had at it. Thanks for the gorgeous pictures.

 

[DisneyMOM09]

I love the Hannah Montana dress for your dd 8. Did you use a specific pattern or did you create it on your own? This is something I think my dd 7 would enjoy and may have to try my had at it. Thanks for the gorgeous pictures.

This is a McCall's pattern(#M5574) and honestly it was one of the easiest dresses to put together! I started it on a Sat afternoon and finished it that evening after we had a family dinner. I actually think that this it the pattern I am going to use for her Easter dress as it is so easy and she really loved it. It also has a different neckline (more of a halter top look).

 

[sahm1000]

We had a great time at Tessa's birthday party on Saturday. I made her this castle cake, which she loved!

If you want to see what I thought of the kit to make it, here's a link to my video review:
http://www.expotv.com/videos/reviews/13/136/Wilton-Romantic-Castle-Cake-Set/291415
If you watch it to the end, you can see us singing happy birthday and Tessa blowing out the candles.

She was so excited that I got her hair to curl on the sides!

Her friends thought the best part was ripping up the wrapping paper and throwing it into the air.

Cute cake! Glad Tessa had such a great party!

I finished these 2 cute sets... I really love the mickey set!!!! It is a OOAK and so is the Piggie dress!!! cross your fingers

Lori

Cute outfits Lori! Love the Mickey one!

another drive by post! George's surgery is over he had to stay over night. The hernia was about softball sized. It was rougher then the dr expected because there was bowel and some fatty tissue sticking through it. (sorry if it is TMI!) When the dr was telling me I asked if they took the fat out or just pushed t in and he just shook his head at me! I told him G would be very happy if he took some out! LOL Then I heard when g woke up from anesthesia he was asking he they gave him rock hard abs! LOL He is is in good spirits but I am sure he wants to be hme. I got kicked out last night and can't go back untl 11 am today and it is killing me! With his past 3 surgeries and when he spent the night earlier this month I was always allowed when ever I wanted so it is killing me knowing I ca't go in early! Heck he had his colon removed ad the nurses all said I could even stay the night if I want. Then his last hernia surgery I was g with Kyle and the nurses there took care of me as much as him! This time I get yelled at for using the bathroom in his room! UGH Keep in mind I was hunched over because I threw my back out so I couldn't walk straight at all! Then my knee was swollen like a balloon and this idiot nurse is telling me to go to the other side of the hospital to pee! UGH I was a good girl and just walked out calmed myself down and went back in a bit. I was actually thinking about making G some cookies this am and bringing some in for him and offering every one at the nurses station who has been nice one except the meanie! Yeah I know that is wrong but still! I am all for rules but In the past 10 yrs of his surgeries Kyle's surgeries and anyone I have gone to see in the hospital not once has some one complained about going potty in the patients bathroom! Ok vent over!

How come I never knew it was a big deal to use a patients bathroom? I don't spend a lot of time in hospitals but really, what's the big deal? Mean nurse! Hopefully she'll be off the rest of the time he's there.

Well, it is official.

It is now two weeks and I am still sick. Even more fun my period starts, ends, starts, ends. Mom says go get a shot and I just chalk it up to being 50. I am not as concerned as the fact that I can't seem to shake my cold and the dr still won't do anything.

Oh well, I am leaving for a Brain injury conference tomorrow. At this point it is going to be nice to get out. I will be sick at home or sick while out. I am sick of being sick.

Any suggestions?

Okay, I need another picture of you now April! I never would've guessed that you were 50! You look terrific!

And you know that Tom is now dying after reading this post !

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

WOW! Those man-made cakes are awesome!! (no pun intended hee-hee)

Hmmmm....what can my husband make???? Waffles? Ice Cream? Or single food meals.
Like Hamburger, steak, you know the meat dish- but no veggies- ever. Maaaaaybe potatoes if its breakfast LOL

You have one very talented Hubby! My favorite is the Jewelry box cake!!

Cindee- that's an awesome story! You ARE a sweet person!

Okay- so if I'm gonna make a couple things for this little baby (and I am worried I will make summery clothes and then nothing will fit til Sept) WHAT should I make?
Living in new england means my warm months are limited. Do I make some sort of dress that I would put a onsie on underneath?
What patterns go tha small that are good? I have a few in my stash I have to look at, but Id love input.

I have yet to work on the pooh quilt today. My sewing machine is still in the car from Saturday. maybe this evening....

I have NEVER heard that using a patient's bathroom is an issue unless the PATIENT doesnt want it used, or has a lot of medical equipment in it and it makes it non-functional for others. I think she was being rude and if you don't want to be kept away from your child you have a right to complain- you are the Mom and I think you should be able to be there anytime you want! Your son needs you! Good Lord- I want to go have a chat with this nurse myself!

I can't believe Im down to like 9 weeks. My midwives told me at my last appointment that I could try natural induction methods starting at 38 weeks. I am praying I have a more positive experience this time around (last time i was induced and my entire labor was strapped to machines and having pitocin pumped into me because I was a week overdue and we failed the biophysical test (which means baby may be in fetal distress)
I really want my body to "go on it's own" this time. I read that acupressure can work well.

Okay off to find some ice cream for my throat.

 

[revrob]

How do you all wash your fabric before you sew? I use cold/cold, very little detergent and will was similar colors/patterns together but seperate from regular clothes. Do you wash fabric seperate or do you put it in with clothes? I also use a little fabric softner and clorox 2.

I wash in cold, the quickest cycle, little soap & dry in the dryer.

What a great story, Cindee! Doesn't it feel great to share the magic? It makes you feel like a regular cast member! I'm so happy that you were able to be a part of a magical trip for this girl - what a great gift!

 

[lynnanddbyz]

I have to make a correction. My son is very upset. Yoda has a cloak not a cape. Superman has a cape. Sorry for the mistake.

 

[eyor44]

I am hoping for a bit of advice.
I am getting rather brave in my attempts to learn to sew. I have been reading about ruffles and wanted to try, so I ask my friend who mentioned she had a machine if her's had a ruffler foot. She said she thought so and we would get it out after dinner to check. (she had invited us to dinner). So after the kids play in the pool, I admire their new dock and we eat dinner, we go upstairs to get out her machine.

As she is opening the box, I'm thinking "Switzerland, her machine is from Switzerland?" Then I see the machine. Oh my goodness, I think you just hand it the material and it asks what would you like. So I'm like "Um, can you do a bit of embroidry with it?" She say "oh, yes, monograms and stuff".

Now, I am in heaven. Her husband is happy because he bought it for her over a year ago and she hasn't touched it. (she lost three machines and a ton of material to Hurricane Katrina and she still feels bad about that.)

Question: We are going to get it out and try to use it, but I am completely sewing machine illiterate and she hasn't touched a machine for 3 1/2 years. Does anyone here have a Bernina? Will we be able to figure out how to use it without too much difficulty?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Twins+2more]

ive been so busy sewing princess dresses for the twins. Sure is quiet here today. What is everyone up to today?

In many ways, sewing is a lot like riding a bike. The most difficult thing initially is figuring out how to thread the machine. Many machines have a diagram printed on them somewhere to give you a hint. The sewing part shouldn't be too difficult. Have fun!

 

[lovesdumbo]

By the way, Megan typed that entire post all by herself. It only took 20 minutes, lol.

How sweet!

I finished these 2 cute sets... I really love the mickey set!!!! It is a OOAK and so is the Piggie dress!!! cross your fingers

Lori

Cute! Love the piggy one!

This is a panel of classic Pooh that is supposed to be for a set of bumper pads but it was on sale for $2 a panel and I thought they might make a good middle section for a twirly skirt. Do you think that would work? I bought a couple, because it was cheap and because I wasn't sure what I'd do with it.

I think that would look really cute!

the tinkerbell is for my dgd for our trip this week I am so excited daughter got free rooms at saratoga springs, the pink is university of texas fabric and molly mine had a baby bevo so i did this little dress for a friends gd, the pictures are a lttle big sorry, the tinkerbell has striped capris having trouble with photo bucket tonight

Cute!

Here's one of the bracelets I made for the Big Give, I did NOT make the Minnie bead, it's been years and years since I did anything with Fimo and wasn't sure it would be up to par on a first try (though I do plan on getting back into that, eventually!):

Beautiful! It will be well loved!

Hi guys! It's been awhile. Just can't bring myself to be on the boards when I don't have a trip in the works. My inlaws just left and they've given us the most wonderful present ever! They're celebrating their 40th anniversary and taking us all to Disney with them........over christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited!! There will hopefully be 10 of us total. Just waiting to see if everyone else can get the time off of work then the crazy planning starts. Oh I can't wait! I've got so many outfits to do! We'll hopefully be there dec 23-30. If not everyone can make it we'll have to do it christmas 2010. 8 days, 3 girls, 24 outfits to make! I know I'll need a christmas one, a mickey one for chef mickeys, a pirate one for a pirate dinner offsite, epcot, nemo, AK, ariel, tink. Ah, the list goes on and on!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!! Now to try to plan outfits that can be layered. Who knows what the weather will be like.

How exciting!

How do you all wash your fabric before you sew? I use cold/cold, very little detergent and will was similar colors/patterns together but seperate from regular clothes. Do you wash fabric seperate or do you put it in with clothes? I also use a little fabric softner and clorox 2.

I do what ever I want to do with the finished garment-which is usually detergent, warm/cold water and the dryer.

How nice of her to take the time to write a nice note with photos and all (oh...and nice of you to make the dress of course!!!!).

Both of my girls had their Birthday parties this weekend.

Luckily I have an Auntie Darla.

Olivia wanted a Fancy Nancy tea party. So Auntie made her a Fancy Nancy dress of course.

Even though her tea party was over Olivia was not going to take off her fancy nancy dress.

Sierra went to dance auditions after her party. She got cast as Raggedy Ann in Babes in Toyland. Sierra is over the moon she says it was her best day ever. Although Auntie has said no more sewing until her daughters wedding in July. I told her I could find the costume on ebay. But then Sierra was at her house last night and asked her to make it. So one more dress before the wedding.

Love those outfits. Looks like fun parties!

If she just took it out of the box she should have the manual.

 

[anewvance]

Hi ladies. I am not on this board very often but can be found tons in the theme park, disability and community center boards. We are planning for a trip in less then 2 weeks so i've been working on a few outfits. I am NOT a seamstress by any means but thought this set turned out pretty cute. Thanks for letting me share.

She is thrilled it twirsl..

 

[snubie]

I just thought I might chime in about using the patient bathrooms. I worked for years in a hospital and in home care; I was a Physical Therapist in my prior life.

It has to do with infection control. The hospital does not know if you are carrying any infections and they don't want anything passed onto the patients unknowingly. They also don't want infectious patients passing things to the visitors. I know, you can just as easily transmit infections in a public bathroom but the hospital is trying to protect its patients.

I had to laugh when Darla posted she wasn't going to take anymore requests until after the wedding!!! Yah, sure Darla!!!

These outfits are so cute!!! Lydia has been bugging me for that Fancy Nancy outfit since Lori posted Ella's! I love the way Olivia's turned out, I may be inspired to actually make her the outfit! I can't belive she let 5 year olds use her good china!!

The bear dress is cute too! We just went to Build a Bear last night. Arminda picked out the cutest little bunny!

No, that one is regular frosting. He does use fondant sometimes. Yes, he makes (from scratch) and decorates all the birthday cakes.
Cara's girly birthday

Cara's tea party

OOOH, I love these two!!!
Are the tea cups cakes too?

I have to make a correction. My son is very upset. Yoda has a cloak not a cape. Superman has a cape. Sorry for the mistake.

tsk tsk tsk!! You should be ashamed of yourself!!! The cloak looks great though!

It is now two weeks and I am still sick. Even more fun my period starts, ends, starts, ends. Mom says go get a shot and I just chalk it up to being 50. I am not as concerned as the fact that I can't seem to shake my cold and the dr still won't do anything.

Oh well, I am leaving for a Brain injury conference tomorrow. At this point it is going to be nice to get out. I will be sick at home or sick while out. I am sick of being sick.

Any suggestions?

Ugh, I am sorry you have been sick soo long.
I hope things start getting better. Enjoy your conference.

Must have been the weekend for birthday parties:

Dh making dds cake:

Finished product (can you guess who it is supposed to be?)

Dd getting ready to blow out candles:

I put a new lens on my camera and a lot of pictures didn't turn out, they were blurry. I think I am going to have to do a lot of practice shots before our trip.

Thanks for humoring me.
I love all the cakes and party pics that have been posted lately.
We are planning a Bolt party for DS and a Cinderella party for DD this summer. And you guys are really getting us inspired. Do you get as excited about your kids parties as they do... Sometimes I think I am a bit crazy.

I just thought I might chime in about using the patient bathrooms. I worked for years in a hospital and in home care; I was a Physical Therapist in my prior life.

It has to do with infection control. The hospital does not know if you are carrying any infections and they don't want anything passed onto the patients unknowingly. They also don't want infectious patients passing things to the visitors. I know, you can just as easily transmit infections in a public bathroom but the hospital is trying to protect its patients.

Hey Snubie!!! I didnt know you were a PT!!! Im an OT!!!!!

Love all the cakes!!! Beautiful!!! What does fondant taste like anyways????
