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

[desparatelydisney]

Also I hope some others can answer my ruffle ? on the last page...???

I know the instructions for those type of ruffles are on the CarlaC embellished patchwork twirl skirt but I haven't tried it (and those instructions are downloaded on a different computer). But I know there was a beautiful minnie twirl skirt posted on here sometime this week that had those on it...maybe that poster can help

OK! OK! You all talked me into it! I wanna take AbbyGrace to the world for her birthday! Now I've just gotta convince my hubby. But since AbbyGrace has him wrapped around his little finger, I don't guess that will be too hard!

Isn't it something how we can ask a million times but the little sweet voice only has to ask once? And they say they are tough

I booked Oct 3-10. It is Dallas' fall break. I am not 100% positive we'll go then. I called with intentions of booking labor day weekend and somehow got sidetracked. I booked Pop for anyone joining me!

I thought free dining ended on Oct 3rd??? Are you not getting free dining.

What are the dates???? This is the 1st I am hearing of this????

So glad your DH is home!!!

I "think" the dates are August 16th through Oct 3rd?? I could be wrong though...lol

I thought free dining ended on Oct 3rd??? Are you not getting free dining.

As long as we check in by the 3rd we could have it for up to 10 days she told me. I was shocked because last year they would not allow this although we did do it the two previous years. I had heard mixed answers about what the CM's told people the year previous to last but worked for us.

ITTY BITTY DRESS HELP!!!

I've had this preemie pattern FOREVER but the link to the toddler version is no longer available, does anyone here have the infant and toddler PDF's to e-mail to me? or know where I could get them???

TIA,
...t.

I searched and searched and could not find the toddler version anywhere online and the site with the infant version says not to email for the toddler version as she does not have it.

Thought I would post these for all of you who were interested in the sundress so you could see better how it fits. I don't think it's skimpy (but that's JMO). It has a lot to do with how tightly you tie the straps...

That is really pretty. I may have to buy it to make for my cousin.

I should have asked this earlier - is anyone going to the Women of Faith conference in Shreveport tomorrow and/or Saturday? If so, PM me, maybe we can meet up!

Awwwwwww............... You're such a nice Mommy!!!

I've been looking around at all the custom Disney dresses and thought since I'm a quilter I could try to make my own. Here's my first attempt. I'm really happy with how it turned out!

 

[jessica52877]

Just read this on the budget board...

" You can still search !
Stumbled upon it by accident....

But if you click on your name or anyone's name and then find all posts...
It takes you to the search screen and it still work"

It worked.

 

[karebear1]

Now see............ when I do taht jessica, all I get is "Search function disabled'> that's not fun!

 

[karebear1]

AHHHHH HAAAAA!!! It works now! You have to

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! How scary for you! My 3 year old takes singulair and I remember when the pediatrician gave it to her she told me to hide it since it tastes really good. She said most kids think it tastes like candy. And I totally get how some kids can get into everything. My oldest two have been climbing things lately. Nothing like finding them on the top shelf of the 7 ft. tall entertainment system in our game room! Little monkeys! Glad to see in your update that she is okay.

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

Ooh! My girls have always loved Legos but I have to tell you, I think their offerings for girls are a little sparse. The boys have a ton of stuff (Indiana Jones, Star Wars, City) but the stuff they do have for the girls is kind of puny and not very interesting. I've always thought they should really make a great line for girls. Not that this is for girls - since it seems pretty gender neutral - but I know my girls would love it since they have been to all of those rides.

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!)

Cathy, that is wonderful!!! You really did a great job! Bambi looks so cute!

So, I'll work out what I have the nerve to make and sign up by tomorrow. (See if I give myself a deadline like that, I'll have to do it. Right? Please hold me accountable or I'll chicken out!!)

I was just checking the Big Give board and don't see where you've signed up yet!

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

She's so stinkin cute!

LOL! Honestly...that's the biggest reason I don't sign up for more Big Gives. I just can't disappoint a sick child or an overwhelmed parent like that.



SO JEALOUS!!! What a great stash! Can't wait to hear the details of your party!

Oh PUHLEEZ!! I've seen what you've made! You are good! Now stop making excuses and go sign up for something!

That little cutie is ADORABLE!!! Give her a hug for me and thank her for helping Daniel and his family!!! Thanks to some of my friends here, on facebook and at work I've sold about 40ish bracelets!!!! YAY!!

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!!! Im going to make Hannah one too (this one is for Elizabeth) and want to figure it out before I start hers....Oh, maybe Steph or anyone else with a 6 year old sized kiddo - what size bow should I make??? I dont know Eliz's waist measurement - should I just go with the measurements in the size charts? are the bows pretty true to size????? I havent really reiviewed much of the pattern yet....
THanks!!!

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

Wendy, that turned out so cute!!! I would put little bows about the tip of each scallop, I think it really accents the scallops so nicely when people do that. And, I am a really big fan of the sash!

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.

AWWWW!!!! ADORABLE!

What? No, he is a tiny newborn, you must have the wrong kid!

He look so cute in his pictures.



Oh good luck!



LOL! I say that all the time about Megan. Actually, I say if she were born first she would have been an only child! One day you will look back and laugh, I promise Mindy!



1) Ok, maybe so, because I forgot to measure Megan this morning. Sorry Wendy!

2) I KNOW!

3) I am the same way. I get very stressed out when I have to sew for others. It must be perfect. I have offered to make Megan's cousin an outfit for Disney and I keep putting it off. What if I mess up?

I would suggest starting with something small and easy, like a little purse. I have been making wristlets for Jacob's "friends who are girls" and I don't get near as stressed out since it takes no time and if I mess up it's just a little scrap I am throwing away.

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 wristlet and the Hello Kitty items!!!

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...

That turned out great!

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.

I love the pictures! It looks like you guys had so much fun!

Okay...

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

and Tink halter & A-line halter

)

Your applique looks great! And I love that Tink!

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?

It is considered a compliment. Just don't sell anything you copy and a mention that it is cased is nice.

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?????

Didn't you make a Feliz?? Come on, you can do it!

Almost every family stays at Give Kids the World, the address is listed on the Big Give site. You could send things there if you would like.

Thought I would post these for all of you who were interested in the sundress so you could see better how it fits. I don't think it's skimpy (but that's JMO). It has a lot to do with how tightly you tie the straps...

That looks great, and not too skimpy at all!

Hello ladies

I keep slipping into lurkdom and I'm doing my best to get back out...I've completely lost my sewing mojo and don't know where to find it. I see all your beautiful creations and I slip further into lurkdom because I feel bad that i don't want to sew. I've not sewn anything since my sisters wedding in January when I made the girls pettiskirts

Our (hopefully) trip is coming up quickly and I really need to make a start on stuff.

Not only that but we are going to the wiggles concert this weekend and I had great plans of sewing stuff for the girls and then in a couple of month we have tickets to Disney Princesses on Ice (it's nice having some decent kids shows come to New Zealand ) Again I want something fun for them to wear.

Where oh where has my mojo gone? What do you do when you just can't find the love to sew?

Have a fantastic day

Leah

I've been wondering where you were lately!

I've been looking around at all the custom Disney dresses and thought since I'm a quilter I could try to make my own. Here's my first attempt. I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Yeah!!! It's great!!! Keep it up!

I would like to 2nd everything my sister just said. It's 1:30am and I need to go to bed. But, I did read through the whole thread!

I haven't heard back from Shannon about baby Samantha today. But, I just e-mailed her to see if there was any news.

and good night (er...morning).

 

[jenharring]

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

wow he is cute as a button. My little man is almost 8 mo he will be 10 mo the day we leave for disney in June. I am sooo excited. How long has he had his teeth and how many does he have? our little one has been working on getting so in for so long now im beginning to wonder if he ever will have teeth. lol We have 3 others and I remember them all already having 2 teeth already. I guess he is just going to take his time.

A question, do you find it an insult or a compliment if someone copies an outfit on this board?

wow are kidos are so close in age, just my youngest is much younger. does the 9 year old like to ride the kiddy rides. My acts a lot other than is and I am wondering how she is going to be.

Now that I am finally finished reading the threads, it took me 3 nights in a row. But I work nights so it helped the nights go by faster. About the only thing I have sewed are some sheets- which are like pillow cases for my ds cradle and a many pillows over the years. I also usually make the pillow cases for our body pillows.
I have to say I have been inspired dust off the good old machine and get to sewing. I guess I'm gonna have to go make a visit to the fabric store. I really want to make my ds-4 a dress or 2 for disney. I really like the minnie mouse ones. We are in dier need of new pillow cases for our body pillows and what better than a disney one to take them with us. Thanks for the inspiration everyone. As soon as I get some things made I'll try and figure out how to post pics.
