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

[Dreamer & Wisher]

Okay, I don't think poohnpigletCA shared this yet, so I'm going to...
I made all those crayon roll-ups for Sierra's 2nd grade class. I was quite pleased with myself, btw.

She told me yesterday that all the boys in her class were turning them crayon-side-out, wrapping them around their wrists, and making them lasers. Not guns, because their school has a zero policy....but lasers. I nearly cracked up. All that work, and they are now lasers.

And on the flip side of that, Sierra's friends are placing their orders, as in "I would like for your auntie to make me one with animal print". And to top if off, my 17 yo son just asked me to make him one out of the Wall-E fabric he just spotted. I promised him I would as long as he doesn't use it as a laser.

Gotta love those crayon roll-ups

Wow you finished them all! Your 17 year old wants one! How cool are you!

Here is Jenna's Mardi Gras outfit.

I love Jenna's new dresses. I really like the one with the cupcakes!

That is very nice and I see the embroidery machine in the background. What kind of machine do you have? She is adorable and the hoodie is perfect!

THank you. I did embroider it with my Singer Futura.

Cute it looks so snuggly


Positive thoughts needed please!!
Last week I had a rheumatoid arthritis blood work. While I was negative for RA I was Positive for the ANA blood test which is inflammation. So it is still possible I have RA. This is going to sound really odd but i am actually happy to possibly be getting some answers. It has been year of going to orthopedics and drs only to be told I don't see anything you are fine. Many Mri's and xrays and test. Some come back with some stuff but nothing to show why my joints hurt and I have swelling as well as numbness. All the drs said I was way to young for RA. Then thankfully my GP who is amazing said sure lets run the blood test it can't hurt ut I doubt it. Then with the positive ANA he said yup very possible go se e a rheumatologist. Which is fine with me because MAYBE just maybe I can get some answer! So for the 1st time in year I am hopefully for relief and don't feel like I am just a whiny lazy person that maybe there is a reason for all my pain! I am a tad nervous it could be lupus too because that is the other big one that comes up with positive ANA. Either way I may have answer which is what I so very need! So if you guys have it in your hearts please hope I finally may have found answers!

Thank you for the compliment. I am sorry you are hurting. I hope you can get some relief now that you know what it is. Take care of yourself either way!

That looks so warm and cozy!


GOOD NEWS!!! Granny is moving to the new nursing home this weekend! She doesn't know just yet becuse we so scared somthing will go wrong and we don't want her to be sad if it gets messed up. We will tell her Friday night because we will have all the transfer stuff set up by then.

Thank you for the compliment.

Good News for Granny. I hope she has an easy transition to the new nursing home.

Thank you again for all the nice comments... here is a new dress I just finished it was my first time applique I think I did ok it was funny I had to keep taking breaks to look away my eyes where getting tired watching the needle! haha

I saw a version of this on

She is so adorable and I love the dress and the apron is just too cute!

ILet me preface by saying I have only sewn bibs, curtains, s;lipcovers, tote bags, hem pants, etc...

I finished one dress (well almost - I still have to sew on the buttons & sash)
She liked it so much I couldn't get it off her & she already got a stain on it!

"Belle"

Here are the fabrics for "SoWhite", "Rora" &"Relli"

I still have to buy some blue ribbon. I want satin, but will that hold up in the wash?

I couldn't find any large Princess fabrics, I even looked online.

My back hurts from hunching over. I sewed the straps in backwards & had to do them over., that took the longest.

Maybe I'll get the rest done before May.

Very pretty first dress! The satin ribbon should be fine if you use some fray check or heat seal the cut edges of the ribbon.

My mom had RA and my brother was diagnosed I think in his early 40's. I know you want answers, but I hope it is not RA. I hope they figure it out and get you some help and relief!

So I cut all the fabric out for Georiga's St. Pattys day dress...but I can't decided which to do.. with or without the rainbow fabric every third fabric.

I think you did great. I really have got to try to applique soon. I have read the tutorial about 6 times.

Looks great. Love the fabric choices for all of the dresses.

How are you doing the bodice and will you have a ruffle? I like the rainbow, but think it would need to be tied in somewhere else as well. KWIM?

I love it. I love the bodice! So darn cute!

How are you doing the bodice and will you have a ruffle? I like the rainbow, but think it would need to be tied in somewhere else as well. KWIM?

I was thinking of doing either the ruffle in rainbow or the straps in rainbow with a rainbow belt with bow. I will have to go back and get more of the rainbow if i do the ruffle on the top and bottom.

Question for you ladies that hand embroider facial features on your appliques.... do you use embroidery floss? Thanks!

So I think I found something that might work, since I can't find Dr Seuss fabric. I am going to look at or local uniform shops for scrubs. I looked online they do have Dr. Seuss scrubs! I figure with few washings they should be mores soft and would work perfectly. There is Green eggs and ham one that is what I want! If I can find it I will express order it. The cheapest I found was 14.98 and it was for a xxl. That should give me plenty of fabric to work with. They had some other cute ones too!

So if you have a uniform shop around ya, take a look.

That idea is brilliant. I know there are a lot of really cute prints used for scrubs. I started looking last night at the ones available. I found one that is very tempting but I need to think about the purchase first.

I'd love to know where you found the Seuss prints... if you don't mind sharing.

Has anyone bought the Wizard of Oz Under the Rainbow fabric? I am looking for some. Ebay is too expensive and quiltshops.com is about $.50 cheaper a yard. Do fabric stores carry this? I only have a Joann's near me and I don't recall seeing it. Maybe a small quilt shop?

Check Hancock's of Paducah, they currently have their Oz prints on clearance. I just checked and they have a decent selection left with many of the prints just $3.98 per yard (http://www.hancocks-paducah.com/ItemSearch--search-wizard-oz--srcin-1). You could always get the ones there and add in one or two from higher priced sources if needed.

So I cut all the fabric out for Georiga's St. Pattys day dress...but I can't decided which to do.. with or without the rainbow fabric every third fabric.

I like it with the rainbow print. I think it really helps pull out the colors of the leprechaun print... which ties the rainbow print in to the mix.

 

[disneymommieof2]

I just finished my first simply sweet!!!
I made a strip work skirt for the skirt part.
BUT when I was trimming the ruffle extras on the inside I accidently cut the skirt!
So my question is:
How do I fix it??? The cut is shaped like a little wedge. The kids were saying something to me when I was cutting and I went to cut and it felt like more fabric then before then I noticed, but it was to late!

I did put it on her and take pictures they are loading into the computer right now, So I will put them up in a bit.

Thanks for your help!!

There are a few sites, I googled Dr. Seuss scrubs and a good few came up. here is one
This one has the Green eggs and ham one that is black. I like that one a lot.

and I really like this one

I think I am liking with the rainbow more and more too. I have another fabric for an undershirt, but I dont know it might be too much green. Do you think plain white would be ok? I might just make both. and see

Very cute

The "you're too young" comment is just not true. I was diagnosed with RA at 12 (in seventh grade.) After my second child was born they realized that I also had Lupus (it is rare to have both--but what can I say, I'm unique!)

I understand all too well the relief of knowing you are not crazy--there is something going on. If you need to talk-pm me.

Thanks I may just do that! I can't believe you have both! Wow you are one tough cookie!
i am sure I will have lots of questions after I see the rheumatologist. Of course it isn't definite I have it BUT finally a test came up saying something is wrong.

I was diagnosed with RA about 3 years ago, I was 34. I had been feeling stiff and sore for years, I thought it was just being to heavy, but I got to the point where I could not even lay in my bed comfortably, I was always sore !!! I do have a lot of pain in my arms and hands and I am a social worker so I write notes all day but a good dose of tylenol usually takes the edge off. My blood work was off the charts, it does run in my family and I do go to a rheumatologist because my uncle died from a very rare, aggressive form of RA about 6 years ago. I don't take any medicine for it yet, the side effects of the meds they wanted to prescribe were a little to much for me, so I continue with Tylenol Arthritis and that does help me. It is very scary but a manageable disease. PM if you want to talk.

WOw you have it as well! Glad you don't have to be on any of the meds for it yet. I have been taking Aleeve around the clock for a long time and prescription Naproxen for yrs and nothing helps
thanks for the offer I may have tons of question after my appointment.

So sorry about your uncle.

My mom had RA and my brother was diagnosed I think in his early 40's. I know you want answers, but I hope it is not RA. I hope they figure it out and get you some help and relief!

Trust me I don't want RA but I have been having so many issue and every dr can't seem to help me and nothing shows up and finally something shows up that seems to fit my problem. I guess after I was DX'd with hyperthyroidism/ graves and all my knee issues growing up and my spondy in the back to me if it is RA it is just add it to the list. You know? That sounds bad but it was the hand I was dealt so all I can do is hopefully get answers and control it.

 

[minnie2]

Here is another skirt for my niece. I just love it! I can't wait to see her in it!
Sorry it looks lopsided but I had no model...

Now I need to finish one for Nikki just a different denim. What possessed me to think denim would be good for this skirt I have NO idea!

Just popping in to say "Hello"

I was on vacation last week while the kids had school break. Not much computer time + you ladies being very chatty = me waaaaay behind. I've finished the other thread and found you all. I can't believe all of the wonderful things that you have made. I especially loved that DisMeet pictures and I have bookmarked a bunch of your trippes to read when time permits. I can't wait!

I am going to a scrapboking weekend in March. My sister is one of the coordinators, ao I made this pillow for her as a surprise. (The weekend is called Camp Crop-a-Lot) I had some time while I was waiting for a package of blank tees, so I whipped this up in a few hours.

My original thought was it would be a good lower back pillow for the days of scrapping we'll be doing! I used the FREE "Thanks a Melon" ebook on YCMT for the instructions and found a font I liked online.

This is fabulous! I hope you don't mind if I steal this idea for my scrapping retreat in April? My friend who organizes it is one of those people who has everything and this would be the perfect little thank you gift for her!

got everything put away. I took everything off the shelves and then put it back in color order- lightest to darkest, colored groups of prints etc . . . Then I organized all the dots- light to dark and small to large. I am telling you I can not squeeze on scrap of fabric on these shelves! Good thing I am going 100 days without shopping.

These pictures just made my day. What a happy sight to see! Such a beautiful and well organized stash.

 

[danicaw]

Seriously Cute! I love the neckline, great job!

"Belle"

Wow! You should be proud. Great job for a first dress, that only intimidates me a little

CUTE! Is that a CarlaC pattern?
Love it! You have one lucky niece


We have rain today, which isn't unsual for us, but we have been spoiled lately so the kids aren't used to it yet. DD is still fighting this silly cold and is currently asleep in my arms while DS is at school. I am going to Sew Expo tomorrow and can't wait. I have a growing list of things I am looking for at the vendors and am hopeful that I can stick to my budget .
So, wish me luck on that front. I am half tempted to take my camera so you guys can see how cool it is, but that means less room in my bag for goodies so we shall see.
I am going to 3 seminars, one on embroidery machine basics, one on sweatshirt conversions and getting a flattering fit and one on using the decorative stitches on your machines. Then the rest of the day is for shopping
I have been trying to wait to buy patterns and fabric til tomorrow or after since they have such neat stuff, but I realized today maybe I should buy the YCMT patterns I want before I go so I know how much fabric I need for things. It would be bad to not buy enough of something I can't find locally.
I am soo excited about going and the are forecasting snow, so hopefully it will be light and won't cause us any grief.

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

I edited these on my computer, but they aren't showing up as edited in Photobucket so I'm sorry if they are too big.

Love them!!! My favorite is the Pooh toile. You know how much I love that fabric!

Thanks for posting these, I hadn't gotten them all! I guess I have some catchin' up to do!

You're welcome!

Here is Jenna's Mardi Gras outfit.

Looks like it was a little chilly in LA yesterday!

The little flower girl I posted the pic of last night actually has RA so you are definitely not "too young"...she was diagnosed at 2!

My mom had a positive ANA two years ago. They still have not given her a clear diagnosis so I can understand your frustration.

Hello everyone! I am a huge time lurker here and finally decided to join in the crafy fun.

Although I don't sew, I DO make hairbows. Here are some Minnie ones I made!

I love looking at all of your lovely creations ladies. Keep up the good work!

 

[disneymommieof2]

Here's Miss Sophia in her very first Simply Sweet:

I used the stand on the table trick to get her to stand still. And also because the kids got chip crumbs all over while I was sewing. I better get to vacuuming!
And here is Lucas with his newest Lego creation:

It's a Dragon Fly!

Rainbow!

I checked all 3 of our super walmarts and still none. We don't have a kmart and Target did not have any. I can get them on but I don't want to pay $7.99 plus shipping for each pair. I guess I will have to take a trip to dallas and check out the walmarts there.

Have you tried Payless? Or even Payless on line?
