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

[EnchantedPrincess]

Sewing has been really slow going lately..but I finally did finish my ds's Mickey shirt. I actually had to start all over because I messed it up...I really enjoy doing applique although mine is far from being perfect.

Next I will be working on Crystal Palace outfits..I have had a piglet applique cut out but just can't decide what to do with it...

Hi Ladies!

I am so behind on this thread. I have tried to keep up, but it goes sooo fast somedays I love everything I have seen lately. The new big give little girl is ADORABLE. I forget my password for the big give board, if Heather has that info I would love to try to help out in this give. It has been so long!

Has anyone made the Aivilo Pocket Tote from YCMT? I bought it yesterday and made a trip to Joanns for some material to make a diaper bag. Do you think the extra large size be big enough for a diaper bag? Is the pattern pretty easy to put together? Does it go together fast? I am also making a matching nursing cover and a rag quilt. I think it is going to be a LONG couple of days. I waited unit the last minute as usual. But I think I can get it done.

Leanne and I just got home from a cheer trip toJacksonville. We didn't get to go to Disney World but we did drive from Jacksonville to Orlando to shop at Downtown Disney and to eat lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. We had a blast and did not want to leave. We are going back (to Disney World) in September as a family and I can not wait. Here are a few pics of Leanne at Downtown Disney.

Pretending she is underwater:

I'm started to get addicted to this, I just need to get better at it Oh, and sorry the pics are so large

I tried making the Itty Bitty dress last night. I would make the ties a little longer next time. They are a little difficult to tie with 2 knots so that they stay. This is in Flannel. Thought that would be nice and soft for an itty bitty baby.

HOW CUTE!!! I love how fast that itty bitty dress comes together!

Now I have to get that Disney outfit done TODAY! We leave Sunday!

You'd better get sewing Steph! These are ADORABLE!!!! Lily would flip...she LOVES HK!!

So I really need to clean up and organize my sewing room. I am looking at getting the comic book boards for storing the fabric. What size boards should I get? Any suggestions?

Get ready for too many Bambi's!

So I enlarged the coloring book pages and they were MUCH easier to applique! It's still not perfect...but this is as good as it gets with my machine and experience (not that much!)

I am making a skirt or capris with "Thumper" on it. I am just trying to scrounge up enough matching fabric.

I think Bambi looks great! Good job!

Last night I came home to find my Mickey Moms Club party kit on my porch. I thought I would share with you all what was inside.

I cannot wait to celebrate with all of our friends.
You can host your own "What will you Celebrate?" party PM me for more info.

WOW that looks like a ton of neat stuff!!!!

So I promised Wendy that I would post a pic of Aisling wearing all 5 of her "Daniel" bracelets! I know we aren't supposed to apologize for messy hair but this is pretty bad...she just got out of the shower She is modeling the bracelets "Next Top Model"-style

Your dd is adorable. =)

okay - here is my frankenpatterned dress - Im thinking adding one of Carla's bow sashes in purple - but it looks like maybe it needs something else? should I put something at the peak of each scallop edge? HELP!!!
THanks!!!

ps -was Paula wearing a petti on American Idol tonight???

That dress is so pretty, is it going to be for Easter?

Well here is my little man, already 10 months. Just 2 more months and he will be 1!

What cute photos of your baby boy! I still can't believe my dd is closer to two now than one.

Well, I am sitting here trying to keep my 2yo awake, because she got into Sydni's singulair and took about 10 of them!
I was FREAKING OUT and that is putting it mildly. The poison control lady said to keep her up for another hour and then she could go to sleep. Please just say a prayer that she is ok!!!!

Yikes! I hope she's okay!!

That looks great, and also very soft!

Speaking of which, here is the latest wristlet for a friend who is a girl. I thought it was cute Wendy and I picked the same frogs!

I was worried that the frogs might be a little young for a 4th grader, but it was what she requested and she told me she loved it!

mrsklamc was so sweet to send me Hello Kitty fabric so I could make some things for Megan's class basket for the school silent auction. She said it was a scrap, but it was a big one so I was able to make three things: a little coin pouch, a crayon rollup and a mini eye spy bag.

Now I have to get that Disney outfit done TODAY! We leave Sunday!

Those are very cute!

It looks great to me! I'll admit, all these machine done appliques greatly intimidate me, lol!

Hi Ladies!

Your dd is beautiful! Looks like she had fun Downtown, too. =)

Everything looks fantastic, you must have been very busy!

SO dd was sick all yesterday, throwing up, liquid diarrhea. . .ick. She was supposed to get bloodwork done, too, but I put that off until today (now that she's acting normal).

I am so jealous of the Mickey Mouse Moms Club house party winners! I applied for the club awhile ago and got my "membership" welcome stuff last week. So at least i'm a member of the club now.

WIERD QUESTION....... where the heck did the "SEARCH" button go??? I'm not seeing it any more!

I was at a friend's profile and pressed the "find all posts by...." button. A window popped up and said "search function has been disabled"

I have NO IDEA why, though! That's all it said! VERY frustrating!!!!

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

Sorry but I had to post her picture from her Bday party. She had me downsize my Princess Leia costume from highschool to fit her for her party.

I can't believe it. She starts T-ball & Kindergarten this year. She is reading with a little help and can do addition & subtration already....where did my baby go?

 

[MouseTriper]

Tricia, thanks for posting this. I think I am going to try this as a baby outfit need to check if it printed on our downstairs printer! This is adorable. I haven't decided what fabric to use....

These all came out great and I love the colors for the girls stuff. Are these all YCMT?

Okay thanks! Are any of you taking advantage of this offer?

 

[desparatelydisney]

All but the tink halter, it's a simplicity pattern that I WILL NOT use again The strappy halter is just the top of the "strappy sundress" lengthened.

Okay thanks! Are any of you taking advantage of this offer?

I'm a TA and I can tell you that LOTS of people have been waiting for this

There are some totally talented ladies on this board! I loved the Monsters Inc outfit.
A question, do you find it an insult or a compliment if someone copies an outfit on this board?

I have learned from reading this thread over the years (wow, i cant believe I have been on here more than a year- WHERE did the time go!)
That you will get a variety of answers to this question.
Some absolutely do not wish to be copied,
some are flattered and love it. (I have never been CASE'd ,it's my dream to be CASE'd because it will be a sign that I actually make stuff others like, LOL
we use the term CASE- copy and steal everything

I think part of it too is the reason, I dont think most folks wish to see their creative idea CASE'd and then sold on ebay, etc.
If you were to make it for your child the polite thing is the PM the original user and ask if they mind.
I think there is also a blurb on our first page that discusses this. The general assumption now is that if you are posting photos here, you are okay with it being copied.

Fellow Disboutiquer's did I answer this right?


Teresa- I ABSOLUTELY do not sew anything more than pillowcases, etc for Big Gives because I am still a novice and what is acceptable to put on my child- I wouldn't dream even goodwill would want. Once I get to be as good as some of the other ladies on here, perhaps I will consider it. That and the price of fabric-I just dont have the money to donate my fabric. I sure do wish I could help, I love the stories of these kids and their disabilities NOT holding them back from a trip filled with fun memories and I live vicariously through those who sew these amazing BIG GIVE outfits for these wonderful kids. The one I participated in I was so thrilled to get a thank you (marymoo) card in the mail, I wasnt expecting that and it made me so happy that i could add joy to their vacation.
You know what I would love to see- an option where we can get info on their resort, etc so that I could have a little something delivered to them while they are on their vacay- like a favorite stuffed character, etc. is that possible to do? Or extra pixie dust, like if I come across some disney related item that I could mail to them (like a colorwonder Tinkerbelle book, etc)
Is that possible?????

All but the tink halter, it's a simplicity pattern that I WILL NOT use again The strappy halter is just the top of the "strappy sundress" lengthened.

I'm a TA and I can tell you that LOTS of people have been waiting for this

Hmm, thats interesting. I looked at that pattern and I like the back, but the models I saw it didnt seem like it covered enough for me (too much skin on the sides and top) but yours does not look like that- I know you have it laying flat, but it just seems more porportional to the rest of the dress than the ones in the photos with the description. I have it in my "wish list" but I have the Anna wrap dress above it.
Those commercial patterns are wonky sometimes! I think your Tink is outstanding!

I love the hair! She is adorable!
