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

[teresajoy]

Carla, if you haven't heard it lately THANK YOU for what you do!! Did you know that you empower us? Really! I have always said I can't make clothes, I can't sew. And it was true. But your directions and patterns have changed that. I really can make beautiful things for my children. I'm even proud enough of them to give my creations as gifts. NEVER would have happened without your patterns and this group of wonderful people. Thank you!!!

Aww, that was really sweet!!! I know what you mean, I had been sewing a long time before I tried one of Carla's patterns, but they really boosted my confidence in my sewing! I never thought I'd be able to finish a dress in one day before! But, with all the little tips and hints she gives us, she makes everything so easy! THANKS CARLA!!

I was going to wait until next week to announce this but I just can't wait.

We found out last week that I am pregnant! We have been trying for a very long time and have undergone many fertility treatments to get here. We are feeling very blessed but also anxious. I have my first ultrasound next week so we are hoping all looks good at that point. I know it is very early and I normally would not share something like this so soon but I knew everyone here would be very supportive.

So I guess I won't be going on Mission Space or TOT (not that I would if I weren't pregnant )
Also I will be losing my sewing room in nine months or so.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have me crying. It took us nine years to concieve our third child. I am sooooooooooooooo happy for you and I will say a prayer for you.

Okay, Jedi Mickey is finally done. Sewing stuff is put away. Maybe now I will have time to read that last 15 pages of this thread and look at everything everyone else has made.

Fantastic applique!!! You really did a great job on that!!!

 

[MouseTriper]

Okay somehow I just lost all my quotes.....I hate when that happens!

Anyway, from what I can remember I wanted to say the following:

Love the new dress Carla made your little sweetie, Teresa. It is darling. Carla you ROCK!!!!

Love the TAGGIE blankie Jessica....so cute!!!

Awww the little guy who got his shots and fell asleep on the couch!! Hope he is feeling better today!!!

Hmm...what else...I know there was more....hmmmm

Oh yeah Minnie2...love the pink ruffled dress!!!! Very cute. I say make something really bright and funky for that girl, her mother will have to love it. Hahaha....just teasin!

Okay I have to tell you that I almost done with my next outfit and it includes a SHIRRED top and a skirt. Thanks to Haganfam5 who encouraged me to do the shirring....I was hoping to finish it yesterday but we had a huge snow storm and I got distracted with two sick kids at home. We just got back from the doctors....!

 

[MouseTriper]

Oops...I knew I forgot something.....CONGRATULATIONS Snubie!!!!!! I am so excited for you!!! We suffered with unexplained infertility for years and never was successful. I used to get so upset and never understood why I couldn't get pregnant. It was truly heart-breaking, as we wanted a child more than anything. It just turned out that there was a different path for us to take. When I held our DD for the first time I immediately realized why I never could get pregnant.....because THIS child was meant for us all along!!! And WE were meant for her!!! This overwhelming feeling just took me over at that moment and I couldn't help but cry!

Congratulations!!! At least it will be sooooooo worth losing your sewing room!!!

I had such a great time with my new grand baby and her big (two years, four months) brother this weekend.

The two of them

Penny

Too cute!! I bet you didn't want to leave!

Your soooo welcome! I can't wait to see it. I am sure it is going to look great!

I love your story. You brought a tear to my eye too! Just too sweet .

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

Snubie- Sticky Vibes!!!! Congratulations!!!:cool1:
are you hoping for a boy or girl? Will you find out or let it be a surprise?

I know ho you have been trying for a while and I am so thrilled for you!

Carla- All I have to say is- it's about time! So where's the pattern huh? LOL
I wanted you to come out with a pattern that had a collar and sleeves in the worst way when I was doing Butterick 4054 and now- voila! here I am seeing your prototype! Teresa- thanks for sharing! This is an adorable dress! Now I can't wait to see Tom's version of this. My personal fav is the Mickey/Donald wit hthe pinwheels in the skirt peice on the simply sweet.
I am so excited about this pattern and can't wait to buy it!

I forget who did the Tink outfit- but it's fabulous!

DesperatelyDisney- Thanks for the info and photo on the fact that how you tie the straps has an affect on the coverage- your dress fits the way I think a strappy dress should fit! i still think yours fits better than the model's dress

Today is so beautiful here- 65 degrees- finally!!!! After lots of 35-40 and rainy days. So we drove down to meet and have lunch with Daddy (an hour drive) and we were going to go to Cookhouse (bar b que) but sadly it was closed so we settled for Bertucci's. I was almost home when I got off the highway to buy dog food when I realized I didn't have my wallet. Yup, it's at the restaurant, now DH has to go back there on his way home. ....sigh....

I am so ready to have my brain back, I recall it took a few months after Little M was born, but it's coming back, right??

I was telling my chiropractor, as long as baby is healthy, I'd be happy to go early this time (rather than be induced at 41 weeks for a failed biophysical)

Anybody watch Moonlight? I have it set to record and there was nothing recorded this past Friday- is the season over????
Twilight-Sookie Stackhouse-I like them all. The next Sookie book isn't out until May 5th....
which makes me think, do you think there really are girls named Sookie???

Minnie2- I love your ruffle dress!! And I like it all in pink!

Baby Names-
Hannah
Danielle
Rachel
are the top contenders.
I liked the middle name Opal (my Grammie's name) but DH says no way- too old fashioned and she will be teased for it. ;(
Lucia (my Great grandmother's name) and surprisingly he likes that better than Opal
Hannah Lucia......???
I also like May- no particular reason, just like the sound of it.
my middle name is Lyn, as is DD and my Mother's, but guess it's weird to give 2 sisters the same middle name.
DH likes Kaelyn and Kathryn. But our last name starts with a K and Im not huge on the double illiteration......and Kaelyn, caitlyn, etc is VERY popular now.
I liked Hannah years ago because I love the Book of Samuel and can relate to what Hannah went through...now it's getting to be popular and now theres even a Hannah Montana- but oh well, it's still a name I like....
I also really like Anna, but I dont think DH was open to it. Even more so, i like Ana- but he veto'd that.

 

[tadamom]

I made a taggie blanket today for a friend that just had a baby. I just LOVE it!

Dallas is not loving it but I am! I love all the tags on it! I always rubbed the tag on my teddy bear when I was little! Why wasn't I this creative when Dallas was born? Actually I don't remember seeing them until after but I am sure they existed!

Jessica....that taggie is preciouss! Those are the exact fabrics that I used for my SIL's purse/diaper bag/diapee&wipee case.

Don't know if you saw my other post...but we will be in Disney Oct. 8 - 13. If you see us out, give us a hollar!

 

[MouseTriper]

Your soooo welcome! I can't wait to see it. I am sure it is going to look great!

I love your story. You brought a tear to my eye too! Just too sweet .

Thanks...hopefully I can finish it when my husband gets home. LOL.

I am so sorry, I spelled your name wrong in my last post. I just corrected it. I don't know what I was thinking...LOL....I guess I will blame sleep deprivation! Haha.

Thanks...I am actually working on writing an adoption book just for my DD. She loves to hear our story!

 

[DisneyMOM09]

Here is my latest project. I think itwould look really great with a Mckey Head applique, but I am still scared to do appliques,so I'll have to work up some courage. This is a an old pattern that my mom had and made for me when I was a little girls so it has some sentimental value! Oh and I hope you guys like her pose!!

the back

 

[Adi12982]

Thank you. I agree about the name. I have another friend thinking of naming her son the same thing. I love the name Hudson but not sure with William. It is two hard sounds if that makes sense. I was thinking even William Hudson for some reason was easier to say. I think lots of wierd things while sewing! Of course if my kids name was William I would call him Will! LOL!

And if I ever have another child his name will by Dylan (or hers) in case you were wondering!

I love that so many have booked for free dining! Disney sure knows how to get people to visit this year. We had no intentions of any trips to WDW and of course have been on one and added another for now.

First of all - I LOVE your taggie blanket - I had never seen them before this thread, and now I feel like I need to make one for this baby on that way

Second, I agree about William Hudson being easier to say - in fact, that is how my brain read it before I thought about what I was looking at more. . .

Baby Names-
Hannah
Danielle
Rachel
are the top contenders.
I liked the middle name Opal (my Grammie's name) but DH says no way- too old fashioned and she will be teased for it. ;(

I LOVE Hannah Lucia! That is SOOO BEAUTIFUL!

One of my best friends is the oldest of 5 kids (3 girls, two boys) She and the next sister bot have their grandmothers name as their middle name - Ann. The youngest has a different middle name (gabrielle)

 

[flying_babyb]

Hi, Im a beginer sewer but think this is a neat idea. Also I love to make stuff and am curently learning how to make doll clothes. Anyone have any tips? I love to make puffy sleaved dresses. I want to make a special dress for a very special little girl and her extra special doll that shes had since she was a baby.

 

[Flea]

I've been wondering where you were lately!

I've been around lurking. I'm thinking maybe if I post more then I'll feel obligated to sew. I'm hoping now the weather is cooling down here and I'll be spending more time inside soon that i'll get more done. I've been knitting lots as I can take my knitting with me anywhere (yes I even took it to the beach with us and knitted while DH was in the sea with the girls - I don't do the ocean or togs/swimwear either )

I saw ycmt had a new wrap skirt in bigger sizes!

.

Yeah I was trying to see if I could get away with only purchasing one pattern and modifying it. Izzy takes after my DH so is a tall 4yo in size 5-6 clothes - mainly because of length, Em is short and can fit size 1 (she's 2 now ) but has a long waist. If I can get away with only purchasing one pattern then it leaves me free to buy the wrap dress one I've been eyeing up

 

[Flea]

I am so totally jealous that you are going to see the Wiggles. I miss seeing Anthony and all the guys. We used to see a few concerts a year and keep up with them on their website, but now that the girls are older...old Uncle Anthony and Jeff...just lost their appeal...now that Anthony...he is very appealing to Mommy...LOL

My girls are so excited (izzy mostly and em just does whatever izzy does) . I've been waiting for them to come to NZ since I became a mama and this is the first year they've had a show. I'll do my best to make them something special to wear tonight but my machine will be in for a bit of a shock as it's been in hibernation for a couple of months now.

It's going to be weird without Gregg Wiggle but Sam seems to fit in quite nicely and has a great voice

For some reason it's captain feathersword that does it for me

 

[SallyfromDE]

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

Oh Boy.......... I'm in trouble!

I was going to wait until next week to announce this but I just can't wait.

We found out last week that I am pregnant! We have been trying for a very long time and have undergone many fertility treatments to get here. We are feeling very blessed but also anxious. I have my first ultrasound next week so we are hoping all looks good at that point. I know it is very early and I normally would not share something like this so soon but I knew everyone here would be very supportive.

My sister and I were just talking about the yummy men in our childrens shows, Like Joe from Blues clues and she likes the long haired guy from the Upsidedown show.

I had such a great time with my new grand baby and her big (two years, four months) brother this weekend.

Penny

OH Penny you have some beautiful grandbabies!!!!!!

I LOOOOVE IT!!! Sometimes it's nice to see a dress made with just one color. It is beautiful! So, did Nik say she was too old for this dress? I think she'd look gorgeous in this style!
How is George doing today?

George is doing well. hanks for asking!
Thanks about the dress! Not sure if Nik would wear it. My mom said the same thing I should make one for her. Maybe! I would just have to up size it because I think the pattern only goes to a 6... She is an 8 in most patterns.

This is for my oldest...for meeting Tink! I gotta make something for the littles

Is your Tink made from a pillowcase? My husband bought me all the princess pillowcases the other day for me to begin making outfits but now I've got to figure out how to incorporate it into an outfit!

Adorable!

We're snowed in! The roads are closed, school is cancelled and work just called to say the mall is closing at 1. What's a girl to do? Well, DIS and sew of course!! LOL I bought the coming and going bag pattern from YCMT the other day and I made one and it's so cute! I'm working on another one this afternoon.

I heard Texas got sonow!!!!!! How much did you get????
They say we are getting 2-4 inches this weekend I am so dreading it!

I'm so excited!!! Carla just gave me the go ahead to share these pictures with you guys!!! This is one of the prototypes for the new pattern Carla is working on!!! She made this for Lyddie, isn't it just adorable!!! I begged her a few months ago to make a pattern like this after I struggled with a similar commercial pattern. She said she had been thinking of doing one already (don't you just love the way Carla is on top of things!), so here is one version: (sorry the pictures aren't the best, I should have had Corey take them!)


She had been dancing on the front porch and I tried to snap her picture between "moves"!

Carla even embroidered little flowers on the collar. Lydia loves it so much she didn't want to wear it to Tessa's party the other day because she was afraid she would get frosting on it! The fabric is really really cute little flowers with smiley faces on them!!! It's just adorable.

I can't wait to try this pattern out myself! It buttons up the back, but the buttons are hidden.

That is adorable! Carla is so great!!!!!! I am on the kids pc and the monitor is bad but from the sound of it it might be the same material I made the ruffle dress in...

Either way is to great! And Lyddie is too cute!

I made a taggie blanket today for a friend that just had a baby. I just LOVE it!

Dallas is not loving it but I am! I love all the tags on it! I always rubbed the tag on my teddy bear when I was little! Why wasn't I this creative when Dallas was born? Actually I don't remember seeing them until after but I am sure they existed!

That is great! I love the colors!!!!!

Okay, Jedi Mickey is finally done. Sewing stuff is put away. Maybe now I will have time to read that last 15 pages of this thread and look at everything everyone else has made.

Love the Jedi Mickey! That is on my list to atempt! but I am askeered!!!!!

Oops...I knew I forgot something.....CONGRATULATIONS Snubie!!!!!! I am so excited for you!!! We suffered with unexplained infertility for years and never was successful. I used to get so upset and never understood why I couldn't get pregnant. It was truly heart-breaking, as we wanted a child more than anything.

When I held our DD for the first time I immediately realized why I never could get pregnant.....because THIS child was meant for us all along!!! And WE were meant for her!!! This overwhelming feeling just took me over at that moment and I couldn't help but cry!

You just made me cry! That is so beautiful!!!!!!!

Anybody watch Moonlight? I have it set to record and there was nothing recorded this past Friday- is the season over????
Twilight-Sookie Stackhouse-I like them all. The next Sookie book isn't out until May 5th....
which makes me think, do you think there really are girls named Sookie???

Minnie2- I love your ruffle dress!! And I like it all in pink!

Baby Names-
Hannah
Danielle
Rachel
are the top contenders.
I liked the middle name Opal (my Grammie's name) but DH says no way- too old fashioned and she will be teased for it. ;(
Lucia (my Great grandmother's name) and surprisingly he likes that better than Opal
Hannah Lucia......???
I also like May- no particular reason, just like the sound of it.
my middle name is Lyn, as is DD and my Mother's, but guess it's weird to give 2 sisters the same middle name.
DH likes Kaelyn and Kathryn. But our last name starts with a K and Im not huge on the double illiteration......and Kaelyn, caitlyn, etc is VERY popular now.

I also really like Anna, but I dont think DH was open to it. Even more so, i like Ana- but he veto'd that.

LOL about little Grild named Sookie!!! I bet there will be a few now that the TV show is out!
There are a ton of Bella's!
I like all the names! I think Opal is pretty! It is a middle name and no one will really know it so the fact that it is a family name is great!
Kyle was almost Kyle Vasilly which is William in Russian. It was George's Pop's name. We decided to ask his Grandma which Pop would have liked and she said the american version. So he is Kyle William.
As for May It is my mom's middle name! And my Dogs! LOL My mom got mad because I named the dog after her not any of the kids! LOL Actually Daisy Mae wasn't named after her at all she is Daisy Mae because my beloved Rocky was born in May and so was my baby Polo(my beloved cat)! See when we name our pets we use part of another loved animal in the name. My Rocky was Rocky Leopold and Leo was George's Rhodesian! LOL Well he had this really long crazy name but every one called him Leo! LOL

What is Moonlight? Since you like the Sookie books and Twilght too and I LOVE both of them I wonder if I would like Moonlight??????

Here is my latest project. I think itwould look really great with a Mckey Head applique, but I am still scared to do appliques,so I'll have to work up some courage. This is a an old pattern that my mom had and made for me when I was a little girls so it has some sentimental value! Oh and I hope you guys like her pose!!

So cute the way it is! but you are right it is perfect for a Mickey head!

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

Adi- Thanks Hannah Lucia has been in my head since yesterday morning- I haven't mentioned that combination to DH, but I really like it too and my Great Grandmother was one of those amazing women, she passed at age 86 and she taught me to bake, wrote letters to me every 2 weeks, we discussed prom dresses and boys and cooking and ironing- she was a crafter-crochet-er, and a few quilts. She made us the coolest Clowns- they had a block of wood inside them so they would sit on a shelf. I was very close with her. we called her "Grammie Lou" I guess I could do Hannah Lou....but then Ill always be thinking of Cindy Lou Who.

LOL about little Grild named Sookie!!! I bet there will be a few now that the TV show is out!
There are a ton of Bella's!
I like all the names! I think Opal is pretty! It is a middle name and no one will really know it so the fact that it is a family name is great!

LOL Well he had this really long crazy name but every one called him Leo! LOL

What is Moonlight? Since you like the Sookie books and Twilght too and I LOVE both of them I wonder if I would like Moonlight??????

Animals- we have a cat named Bella- but I chose it because it means "beautiful" in italian and I thought she was just a foster- otherwise I would have named her Ruthie (to go with my male cat Boaz) from the Book of Ruth. My lab's name is Sambuca's Ballyduff Darby- so I know what you mean about a name that's a mouthful!! Funny- I ALMOST got a Ridgeback puppy instead of lab- that was 13 and half years ago. But the Ridgy puppies were REALLY expensive! The only one I could afford (I was in college) was $600 and he was going to need dental work- that the breeder would pay for. I wonder how that puppy is today.....

Moonlight is a series I found on the Sci Fi channel about a Vampire who has watched over a woman he saved when she was a little girl- she is a reporter and he is a private investigator. I have only seen 3 episodes, the night a found it and then the 2 following weeks. It was not on last week or this week (Fridays at 9pm on SciFi)
so now my next plan is to send DH on a hunt online to see if he can find other episodes, download them and burn them so I can watch them. gotta little scare, a little romance, a little mystery- all rolled it one- sound familiar?
But he seems to be okay in the light- but sunset -sunrise seems to bother his eyes....i haven't watched it long enough to understand the writer's version of "vampire"

Im off to watch a lame movie with DH and DD- The Ant Bully. i had my heart set on Beauty and the Beast, but DH didn't bring it home. and its one of the few we don't own. ;(
This weekend- my sewing to do list-
complete borders of quilt, baste in sky and grass and begin Pooh applique
Itty Bitty Baby pattern in newborn size

Hey, anybody on here own Medela's Freestyle- if so please PM me with your thoughts on if you loved it or hated it. I bought it, but have not opened it, I hope I went with the right choice (between that and the PIS)

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

I love the pink ruffly dress!!

Ouch on the shots..but look at how cute he is taking a nap!

I was going to wait until next week to announce this but I just can't wait.

We found out last week that I am pregnant! We have been trying for a very long time and have undergone many fertility treatments to get here. We are feeling very blessed but also anxious. I have my first ultrasound next week so we are hoping all looks good at that point. I know it is very early and I normally would not share something like this so soon but I knew everyone here would be very supportive.

So I guess I won't be going on Mission Space or TOT (not that I would if I weren't pregnant )
Also I will be losing my sewing room in nine months or so.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! How exciting!

Such cuties!!

The tink outfit is really cute!! I still owe my dd a tink outfit...she has been asking for one..I bought the tink pillowcase, and still haven't made it!

That is adorable...I can't wait for the pattern.

I love it! You should sell them...my dd and my ds both has a taggie when they were little. Those were the days before I started sewing and I paid quite a bit for them.

You did great..Jedi mickey looks great!

That looks really cute!
