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

[tricia]

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....

No problem, and it doesn't take much fabric at all, you could do the whole thing with 3 fat quarters I would think. 1 for the skirt, 1 for the bodice, and 1 for the lining.

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!

Wow! I am blushing now...I've never had anybody think that way about something I made before. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I just traced a comic page onto tissue paper, pinned it to the halter and then hand sewed over it.

I have made several of the strappy sundress halters now. I love that pattern for the top; I just add about 5 or 6 inches to the length for the halter. However, I do not like the bottom...the skirt is too gathered to sew nicely with my machine, she only tells you to sew one gathering line (which does not work I learned the hard way) and the ruffle is only a single layer. If I make the dress again I will reduce the skirt by at least a third and make that bottom ruffled doubled. Also, she has you sew the side seams together and then gather it...I learned I gather much better if I gather one big piece and then sew the side seams (plus I got the ruffle twisted and had to take it back off twice ).

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?

http://www.bcwsupplies.com/products/Comic-Boards/

I just called my local comic book store and they had them in stock for the same price and I didn't have to pay shipping or wait on them to arrive. I picked up 200 on Monday and I've alreadyi filled those and went back for another 100 pack today. The ones I bought are 7 X 10 1/2 and they fit great on the bookshelf I bought.

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

I wish we are...we actually leave Disney World the day before the offer begins! UGH!!!

I called this morning to book and had it done and overwith within minutes. Much different then previous years where I would be hold for well over an hour. I had no intentions of booking at 7:30 am and by 8:30 had it booked.

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.

At least you got that. I still haven't gotten my welcome kit!

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

Steph- those are so cute. Did you just make it up or go by a pattern?

Good luck with your outfit

Congrats

Stupid AP is burning a whole in my pocket. I seriously thought about taking Aisling by myself before school starts

 

[t-beri]

We will come and visit you Kristine!!!

 

[MouseTriper]

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

I bet....seems like a pretty good deal.

Oh noooo...that is a bummer. I guess there is no way to change your dates, huh?

Yeah, very cool!!! May I ask when you guys are going???

Enablers...both of you!!! Let's not forget that I'm going in October (link to my PTR below...HINT HINT!!!). I think my child would be ruined forever if I took her on two trips less than 8 weeks apart! Although it may throw her off the trail of her bday surprise

Okay...

First REAL applique is done. By DISboards standards it is pretty poor, but the little man loves it so so

And the other projects I have been working on for the last few weeks...

Strappy halter & sundress

and Tink halter & A-line halter

closeup of tink...

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 also looked at the patern and thought it was skimpy but I LOVE your sundress and Halter! Dont get me started on Tink Here I am trying to get out of hand sewing Glass beads on a tee in the shape of a mickey head

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!

I love the Hello kitty trio.

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

I thouhgt it was just me last night who could not find the search

At least you got that. I still haven't gotten my welcome kit!

My DH wont let me stick my MoM magnet to my truck, somthing about it messing up my clear coat. Plus I am afraid it might disappear

HEY!!!! So are you trying to say MY child is ruined? LOL She goes on WAY more than two trips in 8 weeks

She was not happy with me for taking her to MK yesterday JUST to renew a pass.............. Who else runs an errand to the MK?

You live there! It doesn't count!!! (you couldn't have taken her on 1 ride or 2??? that's just CRUEL!!!)

What is the end of August usually like? I know that it's extremely hot but are the crowds really bad?

 

[kjbrown]

That is so AWESOME! And what a great accomplishment. I think Weight Watcher is a great tool! And I'm sure you will be in the fabulousity category!

ya know that is so awesome! You'll do GREAT as a leader I'm sure! WOW!!! What I would do to be in your shoes right now!! GOOD FOR YOU!

Wow!! That is awesome!! I lost a whole bunch of weight with Weight Watchers after I had Tessa. I was down to my goal weight and wearing a size 4 jeans. *sigh* Then, I got pregnant with Sawyer and haven't made the effort to do the program again.

That is wonderful!!! I would like to get back to Weight Watchers.

Thanks everyone! This is actually my second go around with Weight Watchers. I lost 25 pounds back in 2001, stopped going and gained it all back plus 3! I had two kids and after DS's first birthday decided I needed to go back! I re-joined and lost 41 pounds. I figured I might as well work for them since I'll be going the rest of my life!

I even made the skirt I wore to my first meeting, it's the wrap skirt from youcanmakethis (where else?) I need to take a pic!

The locals are back in school-we go every year for Labor day and we love it!

If you told her about that trip-you could explain all the customs you would make her.


I asked Morgan if you should bring Aisling-do you REALLY want to know her answer?

 

[livndisney]

These look so cool!!!!
I saw Spash Mountain, Space Mountain, The Pooh ride and The Castle. They were about 25.00 each

WOW! We're gonna have to have those! AbbyGrace LOVES legos - I think I'll have to be bringing some of those home from my upcoming trip for her.

As far as the free dining offer - I was very tempted to book. But I think we're gonna pass. BUT, AbbyGrace keeps saying that she's going to have her birthday party at WDW. She's almost convinced us! Our DS will be at camp all summer,so he wouldn't be able to go, but we are considering taking DD just for a few days to celebrate her birthday. PLUS, we're AP holders, so she'd get a gift card. That would be a good thing.
