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

[MouseTriper]

Wow this thread is flying again...not that I am surprised at all. Unfortunately I only had time to scan today. I loved all the new outfits posted. All the kiddos are ADORABLE!!!

To all those needing prayers ......I will be praying!!

 

[*Toadstool*]

I just finished Nik's version of the skirt I made my niece. My niece's went together easy but Nik's gave me so much trouble! UGH Oh well I think it came out cute though and would defiantly make it again but just not in denim and 2 at a time!

Ok next up I need to make a hat for my nephew! My 1st bucket hat!

Love the skirt! I need to tackle one of those.

Hey friends,

I am sorry no multi quotes this time just a drive by to say hi. I have been working very hard for the past week on an issue we have. My brain is about to throw up but I am about to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Isn't there a joke about it being the train to run me over?

I had a great meeting today and only have to change a few documents. I have to write another set of about 4 pages, then assign the units and services. Afterwards, I have to put about 200 pages all together in the correct format and order. If I do it wrong the entire thing will get rejected. So please say a prayer. I could use it about now as I am very tired.

My real reason for the post is to let you know I took DS stroller out from the garage. It is the first thing I do when getting ready to go to Disney. So I have finally done something other than sew to get ready!

Sorry you are stressed. At least you have a Disney trip to look forward to. I could use one of those!

I just love this so much that I wanted to share. I didn't make it - I bought it on Ebay.

Omgosh! That is just stunning! I am in with it!
I adore the windowpane fabric! I have some, but I can't cut into it yet. It was super expensive. You DD is a doll!

Thanks and so sorry for venting

Prayers for you and your family.

Just stopping by quickly...I've been so tired today, following last night's little trip to the ER. As poohnpigletCA told her little, "Auntie Darla accidentally got a little sick last night".

My facebook tells the story, but in a nutshell, I (accidentally) injected about 4x more insulin than I needed last night at dinner...ended up in the ER to monitor blood sugar levels...came home after about 4 hours...have had no insulin today...and am exhausted from running high blood sugar all day.

HOWEVER, yesterday before all this occurred, I finished this for a friend:

It has a tie in the back to cinch the waist a little. No pattern...just strips and a bodice

That's it. Back to bed for me. Maybe tomorrow I'll be able to finish Fancy Nancy and the 10 matching crayon roll-ups for someone's birthday party.

That outfit is really cute. It makes me think of Mardi Gras because of the colors!
Hope you are feeling better!

I'm so excited!!! My day care is taking the last week of April off so that means I have a mandatory vacation. DH's bday is that week so we discussed going to NYC and taking Ash to see a show. So today I got tickets for Little Mermaid through a code of Mousesavers...I got 2nd row center orchestra for $72/piece (if you haven't been to a show it NY that's cheap)

And thanks for Crystal...I already have a custom ready to go!!!

Wow, I am sooo jealous! I dream of going to see broadway shows at night...

I guess I will make a quick post, I haven't been on the DIS in quite some time but sat here until 4 am reading this entire thread it just gets soooo adicting So anyhow, I haven't really done much sewing since Christmas. Everyone here has had an awful virus since New Years we have not had more then a 1 days span of everyone being healthy

Anywho, here is the Valentine outfit I made for Ellee, no pattern, just strips I was pretty proud, did my first ever aplique and button hole.

Right now I'm working on a similar outfit with an Elmo theme and three St Patty outfits for the family I make them for each year

Very cute Valentine outfit! I need to post mine. Love the stripwork style!

OMG That is CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!! They are normally around $130. We saw the show and it is beyond fab!! One of the fun things I did was download the soundtrack from itunes before we left. My DD loved the music. Also, the program is beautiful. It is $20 but so well worth it.

We are going to see The Wizard of Oz the first week of April. I am really excited. There are not too many "kid friendly" shows right now. I had hoped to take my DD to see Grease but it closed. West Side Story is coming and I think she will like that because of the music and dancing. I am also going to drag her to see 9-5. She does not have a choice on that one!

Have a wonderful time!

Oh please take me with you next time! I am so jealous! I'd rather see a broadway show than go to Disney I think..

I like this website. I am thinking of making a smocked dress for Abby's first Communion dress. I found a pretty design called crosses that Abby really liked. Can you tell me if a beginner could do something like that? How long does it take? Where do you get a pattern for the dress to sew the smocked design into?

That is a pretty easy plate. It doesn't have a whole lot of smocking, so I think it would be a good design to start off with. I usually buy all of my smocking patterns from my local heirloom shop. I've bought from www.roxanesheirlooms.com before, but she is local as well. She does have alot of smocking patterns though. I would just go to one of the popular sites like www.thesmockingstore.com(I think) you can google for "smocking patterns" Then once you have it narrowed down to which pattern you want I'd google for that pattern to find the best price. I really like Chery Williams patterns. If you want a basic yoke dress she has a great one with alot of variations. Try to get one that has alot of sizes. Her patterns usually have that too. Collars Etc. is also very popular. Do you know if you have a local chapter of SAGA(Smocking Arts Guild of America)? You should check into it on their website and see. If you do I am sure one of the ladies in the guild would help you. A to Z of smocking is what I taught myself to smock from. Any questions I had were answered by my local heirloom shop owner too. It really helps if you have someone that knows some about smocking. I could go on forever about it! LOL!

Hi Guys,

Just had to post this picture of Daniel and the radiation doggie - peetey!! how big is that dog!!!! Daniel loves him though!! Ugh - for those of you with experience, when will his hair grow back?

Fundraising efforts continue to go well - if you check his website you will see we are almost there !! YAY!!!

Aw, thanks for posting a picture of Daniel. It is good to have a face to go with the prayers. His dog is HUGE! He must adore him.

I think you will love it! Mary Poppins was good but it was a little darker. The LM is just visually stunning- breathtaking really! So, far we have seen Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Mary Poppins, Wicked and The Rockettes. My favorite was Wicked. My DD actually believes that version over Dorothy's. LOL My MIL is from NYC and goes to visit once a month. Every few month we tag along.

If you get a chance check out the American Girl store. It is sooooooo cool! Also, there is a ferris wheel in Toys R Us that is a lot of fun. Also, the worlds greatest cupcake bakery in near Rockefeller Center. It is called the Magnolia Bakery. yum yum!

Have a great trip! Oh and we stayed at the W once. Normally we just take the trail for the day but that hotel was unbelievable!

I want to live vicariously through you... hope it doesn't freak you out! I don't know if I'll ever get to go to a show in New York. We used to have a really great theater that got great shows in New Orleans, but it closed after Katrina.
I did get to see Movin' Out in Mississippi a couple months back. I have to say it wasn't my favorite though. I'm sure seeing one on tour can't be the same as on Broadway.

So I thought about what to do for the ohana breakfast and this is what I am working on! this is my second applique I am kinda proud of myself! Its not great but its not bad! let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions!

Wow! Great applique. He is really cute.

A friend of mine asked me to make some "Elmo" pants for her son's 2nd birthday and this is what I came up with. I made the Elmo's out of some really cool fuzzy red material that totally sheds all over the place when cut. Haha. It makes for a very cool looking Elmo though. To make the pants kinda funky and different, I made a big Elmo and appliqued it to the "butt" of the pants... There is also a smaller Elmo on the right leg in front. My friend loved them but not as much as her son did...hahaha.

Here is her little guy and yes, she gave me permission to share his pictures!!

Hey guys, I'm really worried about Becca tonight. I don't like the sound of this clot they found in her arm, and she is having some other bleeding problems. Here is the link to their website: http://schtabs.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=1600 I think that will take you to the right page.

How fun!!!
I'm guessing you used that minky fur? I think that is what it was called. I can't remember. I used the pink for Hannah's bunny costume. I am still finding it on pieces of fabric. It gets EVERYWHERE!!!!

Those images broke my heart. I don't think I was prepared for that.
She is definitely in my prayers. How sad that she can't even have popsicles!
Hope you are doing well, Teresa. Miss seeing your posts!

I am saying a prayer for Becca Seeing her pictures reminds me of my sister Jessica. She passed away 4-17-2003.

Nikki is too funny. I wish I could get my model to do creative poses for me. Cute skirt too.

Thank you!

:
I've been reading, but I've been feeling fairly horrible for the past week or so, so I haven't commented much. Thanks for missing me!



Marlo, that is adorable!!! Is it Carla's skirt pattern?

Sorry you have been feeling so lousy. Feel better!

Yes it is Carla's pattern. I love that pattern!!!!!!
I wonder if it can be done with knit material???

Hi Guys,

Just had to post this picture of Daniel and the radiation doggie - peetey!! how big is that dog!!!! Daniel loves him though!! Ugh - for those of you with experience, when will his hair grow back?

Fundraising efforts continue to go well - if you check his website you will see we are almost there !! YAY!!!

Looks how cute he is! He looks so wonderful after everything he has been through!
I love that puppy! looks like he is a ham! I love big doggies. I always thought my Rocky(rip) would be a good dog to help sick patients but he was so big I was afraid he would scare some one. All he ever wanted to do was kiss any kid he saw!

So I thought about what to do for the ohana breakfast and this is what I am working on! this is my second applique I am kinda proud of myself! Its not great but its not bad! let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions!

Great job! I think I may try a stitch applique! Kyle loves him!

Love the skirt! I need to tackle one of those.

They are actually kind of fun to watch come together just be careful to fallow the directions! I made my niece which I posted a few days ago and I was so careful to fallow the direction and it was a breeze. SO of course I felt all confident and would just go on autopilot and well my seem ripper wanted to come out and play A LOT making Nikki's!

A friend of mine asked me to make some "Elmo" pants for her son's 2nd birthday and this is what I came up with.

those are so cute! Nikki LOVED Elmo!

I think today I am gong to run to Hancocks ... Some one posted this Tink outfit and now I must have that material!!!!!

Also I hate to ask for prayers too but George had a blockage in his fake colon over the past few days. Well the blockage seems to have passed but he is still in pain and something isn't right. He is worried it is either pouchitis or his colon ( or lack there of) is kinked. If it is kinked I fear he might need surgery again.

Hi Guys,

Love the picture of Daniel and his horse! That is one big dog.

Lindsey's hair didn't grow back until she finished the heavy duty chemo and was just on the maintenance chemo. But then she had to stop due to problems with her liver and when she started back up again it started to fall out again. So it could be a while with no hair.

Cute Stitch: great job!

That is so cute: I love the elmo on the butt!

Prayers are going out to Tracie, Misty and Becca and the families!

 

[CastleCreations]

Hey guys, I'm really worried about Becca tonight. I don't like the sound of this clot they found in her arm, and she is having some other bleeding problems. Here is the link to their website: http://schtabs.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=1600 I think that will take you to the right page.

Poor little Becca....We are all praying for her and her family

 

[my*2*angels]

For all who are needing prayers, I am sending them your way!

 

[Stephres]

Very bad news: my computer died. I unplugged it to vaccuum and when I plugged it back in nothing happens. No light, no power, nothing. I don't know if I should take it in or if it's worth it to fix it.

Anyway, I finished the Marieke with Megan's Hello Kitty machine. It kind of made the buttonholes wonky but otherwise it worked just fine.

I really love this pattern, but I have to agree with Aimee, it is much too short. I added two inches and a ruffle. I found this fabric at JoAnn's; it is very sparkly!

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

So I thought about what to do for the ohana breakfast and this is what I am working on! this is my second applique I am kinda proud of myself! Its not great but its not bad! let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions!

I love it, and the fabric! Can you tell me where you bought the red/white flower fabric? I would love to find me some of those to make dd something for Ohana breakfast.

sorry to hear about your computer.
This is the fabric Megan picked out for her St Patty's dress!! I have it all washed and ready to cut. I think I'm going to do a simply sweet with it and then i'll have to either add a turtle neck or a dress underneath

Hee, the Megans think alike! It will be great!

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

Okay I have a question about the Simply Sweet

I can't remember who posted the other Fairy Tale fabric outfit- you did a halter style, with 2 layers in the skirt.

How should I go about doing this technique? Do I simply lay the 2 fabrics together and gather like I would a ruffle? Normally if I am attaching a skirt to a bodice I just do 2 running stitches and tug to gather. If Im doing a ruffle- and more gathering is required I do cording and a zig zag stitch, otherwise I find the thread breaks with the first technique.

Would that be the right way to do a double layered skirt?

Am I making sense or talking in circles???

BY the way WENDY- I love the picture of Daniel and the dog- what a fabulous dog and Daniel looks like he enjoys his company!
Years ago I trained one of my labs and we were registered with TDI- but I never really did much with her after I did all the testing and paid the registration fee!
