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

[Eyore4Ever149]

Procrastination- that is my middle name! I have the pattern pieces traced and cut out, just have to cut out the fabric now. But it takes me forever to do anything these days.

We got a ton of snow, I dont know how much- a foot I would guess, maybe slightly less. But too much in my opinion. Can't wait til in melts. Im counting the days til daylight savings!!!

Okay, so you Kathryn's out there- no offense intended of course. I think I like Katherine, but we are still up in the air on what we will choose for a last name. Our last name also starts with K- not sure I love the double illiteration though... initials would be K.K.

I had a terrifying visit with the 3rd Doc in the practice I have been going to and have decided to switch back to my midwives, I wont go in to all the details but her philosophies on a lot of things do not jive with mine. Now I have to make the call to get my records and then switch them over.

Only 12 weeks left. My mobility is somewhat limited due to the pain, but not as bad as last time- lets pray it stays that way!

Okay- Im off to work on that dress!

I can't believe I have never found this thread. I am always on the budget Board and don't look around other then that thread. I am excited to find a group of sewers. I am doing a happy dance. All of your creations have been inspiring me. I can't wait to continue to see your wonderful items. I will have to take pictures of some of mine and post them.

Thanks for the update on Grandma! I'm glad she is fine. Sorry you had to spend the day at the hospital.

It wasn't so bad! I got to play on the computer in the waiting room while my mom watched the kids!

Here is what I came up with for "Little Warrior's" Big Give. I sure hope Marenna likes it. Does it look okay?

That is ADORABLE!! She's going to love it!

I am so glad to hear your Grandma is ok!

Aww...you guys are SO sweet! I guess I should have let you all know that my grandma is a bit of a hypochondriac and she visits the emergency room every couple of weeks. But, it's usually my mom who takes her in.

So what are you trying to say about Jacob? I admit the actor they chose for the movie is NOT what I imagined as I read the books. And Edward is creepy in his protectiveness. I need my space, can you imagine sewing with him leering over you!!??

I haven't seen the movie (don't faint, Misty), but when I saw a poster with Jacob on it, I thought "Huh??? That can't be who they chose!"

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!!! The pictures are gorgeous!!!! I do have to say that the picture of you and Bill makes me really cold!!!

Well, guess what died today? My dryer! Argh! So we just spent 2 hours in Sears and I will have a new washer and dryer delivered Friday. Tom told me I have to get a job.

Did you buy the Electrolux washer and dryer that will wash and dry a load of clothes in 36 minutes??????

Here's the washer: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_...e=Appliances&cName=Washers&sName=Dryers&mv=rp

Here's the dryer:http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_...ers&psid=MSNSHOPPING01&sid=IPx20070925x00002b

They ONLY cost $3,500 for the pair!!! Pocket change!

hi friends.

Sorry Im not on here like I used to be, but my oldest has been going thru some "things" lately. Its super frusterating and trying. I swear I sometimes don't know what im doing wrong, and others know that its just a "thing"
we are going thru. It is sometimes soo hard to keep faith that god would do all this to my daughter...know what I mean. But just imagine how it would be if she was with birth mom, and we would not have got her at an early age. And my twins are not doing so well in kindergarten. We are trying to get them tested, and on an IEP. We've been so busy.

I have not sewed anything in AGES, but Ive been watching all of you push things out at lightning speed. Love some of the new "creations" you all rock.

Cathy, I love your snow man. It looks like frosty melted...LOL. Your daughters are really growing.

Linnette, your ruffles look great on the pink dresss, and bless your sould for doing someones wedding dress. I do hope you had the courage and smarts to say no to the mother dress and invites. You do so much for others, god bless you.

anyhow, look ... we only have 2 months till our vacation. The first ever disney vacation for all of us. Im going to try to get some customs done for the girls, but if you see me at disney world, and my girls have on street clothes please don't spear me...LOL. We just paid for our flights with income tax. WOO HOO. now we just have to pull together food money, and the easter bunny is bringing the girls disney dollars to spend in the "world". Im getting excited....

i've talked enough I think. YOu all have a good week.

I'm sorry that you're going through so much.

I definitely prefer midwives to OBs in most cases! I hope your pain gets better and this last 12 weeks isn't too hard!

I was just going to direct you to our thread after seeing your post on the fabric swap! We can't wait to see your pics!

 

[Tykatmadismomma]

Very cool! Not sure if I could get all the way there but it was sure cool checking everything out on line!
I am almost done with book 2 ad while I think Edward is very cool and I would like him as a friend but as a boyfriend he is kind of obsessive and it freaks me out! Jacob is great in this book! I really like him a lot! Though watching some trailers on youtube for the movie I might end up liking Edward in the movie but I don't know!
I want a friend like Alice! She is great!!!!!!

Ok I seriously need my mind out of the gutter after reading your post! LOL

Those are GREAT! I love Carlilse and Esme! I can't wait to see what you make for them!
Ok if you like vampires have to read the Southern Vampire series by Charlene Harris? MUCh more adult then Twilght MUCH more but I Eric from those books! The tall viking Vampire!

Eric is HOT in True Blood, They did a good job casting! I have the books on hold from the library.

 

[MouseTriper]

adorable! Love minnie and that I believe in magic shirt is so great!
I would wear those shorts!

Aww thank you so much!!!!

Mousetripper - LOVE the outfit!!! So cute!!

Standing on the rim -

THe view and sound is AMAZING!!

Thanks Wendy!!! Your vacation pictures are awesome~!

So cute, I love it! Have I told you, you take the best pictures?

Awww you just made me smile...thanks for such a sweet comment!!!

Here is what I came up with for "Little Warrior's" Big Give. I sure hope Marenna likes it. Does it look okay?

I had made some of these for my DD for our last trip to WDW. Here she is "dancing in the streets" after watching the Block Party at MGM...hahaha.

I love it Beth! And HOW did you get Minnie's eyes so perfectly oval?

Your fabric is so cute; I don't blame you for giving in!



I hope your headache is better now. Love your big give outfit and how neat that it was admired!



Yay! I know anything about this Team Edward and such, but I think I will have to be on Team Jacob!



So cute, I love it! Have I told you, you take the best pictures?

Well, guess what died today? My dryer! Argh! So we just spent 2 hours in Sears and I will have a new washer and dryer delivered Friday. Tom told me I have to get a job.

Geez Steph! Stop breakin' stuff! Um, you DO have a job!

I have been soooo sick with the strep throat that will not die, but today I was down to just a severe headache, so I got to sew! (I'm so glad they put that banana back where it belongs!) I made St. Patrick's Day stuff for the girls--a pillowcase dress for Lil and a skirt for Jay. I have sort of been challenged to not spend money until the end of May and I think having a deadline is making it a little easier for me so I'm trying to use fabric I already have and not buying any. It will be a challenge for the kids' Easter clothes though. I can come up with something for the girls, Seth only wants to wear a suit and tie every week anyway, but Jayden needs shoes and Luke needs something. It will be interesting. I hope I can do it.

Wendy, I love the NF pictures! It's gorgeous! Linnette, great job on the Big Give outfit! I'm sorry your headache is back today, just for today I can almost say "I feel your pain"

Michelle sorry about the hard times! Hopefully your trip will be a nice break.

Misty, can you come to Bunko Thursday?

Cathy, cute snow pics! Our snow is supposed to come later in the week.

 

[visitingapril09]

I have a whole bunch of photos to share!!!

First, this is my DD14's first attempt at applique. She did great!

Two pairs of Pj's I made for my son for our upcoming Disneyland trip. I HATE the quality of the fabric with Cars and Buzz Lightyear on. I bought it from ebay and it turned out to be c****y quality but I wanted to use it. It is ok for pjs.

A pirate Mickey outfit for Andrew. On the back it says Mickey's first mate. The front is a Pirate head Mickey.

I made a top for my DD out of that great gathered fabric you can buy. We added some straps and, 20 minutes later, a shirt!

My first ever Crayon Roll Ups. These are for a Big Give.

Three piece set for Jake's Big Give. It is a T shirt with a pirate Mickey, shorts and a vest.

This is for Hannah, Jake's sister, for their Big Give. I hope she likes it.

I know i have heard so much about those books they are on my list for when hubby gets a job I have to have my own copy because i have been told i am rough on books

I have had a hard time keeping up with you guys this weekend.
Tons of great stuff. And I love all the snow pics!

I finally got things organized and can post some of the things I got at sew expo.....

the fabric I came home with....

Brown is for the castle tote bag...I thought it could pass for a stone wall
Red is for the outside of my laptop sleeve (my laptop is red ) and the print that looks like a keyboard is for the inside of hubby's laptop sleeve - he said it wanted it all black, inside and out and I just can't do that so I thought this was fun... when I showed it to him he laughed and said "yeah, ok".

the patterns I bought....

fat quarters etc.....

The little hands are DD2, she just can't keep her hands off this stuff
I have always thought about buying a charm pack and never had so this year I went for it. The price was good and I thought the colors would be fun for DD this spring. And the fat quarter bundle is from a place in CA called pincushion boutique. They have the greatest fat quarter bundles ("Sweet treats" they call them), wonderful colors put together. Last year I bought a bundle and almost couldn't bring myself to use it cause it looked so nice all packaged up.... this brown and teal set I plan to use some of for the debut purse from YCMT.

I also picked up a few hot fix motifs, but I didn't take pictures of..... my favorite looks like the Dairy Queen logo, but says Drama Queen for some reason it just cracks me up.

We finally have dates set for a LATE Christmas with my Dad and Step mom so now I need to get sewing! the kids want to give them chef's hats. Then I can get started on the laptop sleeves and try out the the carlac peasant top pattern - I finally bought it .

Wow that is some great stuff you got Can't wait to see the finished project..

I got up today with a headache, unable to read much , but loving pictures posted specially the snow ones, the kids got the day off today and I could not believed it as it was not that bad, but the school chancellor wanted to use the snow day allowance for the kids


this picture was taken at 11:30 am (no business open )

My sewing for Jake's give

shorts ( I made the long ones)

t shirt and shorts

Linnette

We went down this elevator to UNDER THE FALLS!!!!! Here they are up close and personal -

Standing on the rim -

THe view and sound is AMAZING!!

[MouseTriper]

Hehe, thank you so much Jeanne. This was actually the 1st applique I ever did on my new embroidery machine.

Cute !!

Thanks!!!!

 

[*Toadstool*]

The hat I made my nephew whose 2. Nik put it on and it was a bit small but you can still see it

Cute hat! I need to make my DD a hat. She doesn't have any!

Thanks, Yes she is 2 but will be 3 in a week. You are lucky, my nine year old , Gillian, will wear anything I hand her and still likes me to pick out her clothes each morning. Not Evelyn (DD2), she is a complete pain about clothes and insists on choosing her clothes. But once she put the birthday dress on I couldn't get it off her!

Awww.. I guess my little girl just isn't a Miss Independent! I wouldn't want to take off such a cute outfit either. Well I guess I couldn't get away with cupcake outfits anymore.

oh please post pics of the aprons, I would love to see them. I've read all the books but can't claim to be obsessed. I have to admit I'm team Jacob. I don't want my man to feel hard and cold. My SIL is a feak about the books and movie. She is Team Edward and says the books saved her marriage!

Hi Friends,

Well my luck keeps getting better. DS school called at 11 am and said he has been sick all day and is now sleeping, come get him. So I have him home. He doesn't have a fever or even looks sick. I don't have a clue, other than we have had a bit of a cold the past week. I am sure hoping he is up to flying tomorrow. I am going to give him Tylenol and pray whatever it is goes away so he will feel more like himself. Poor little guy.

I was reading in the SN section, posts by a person named Berries. She was so scared and nervous. I contacted her and today have been searching the Disigners to get shirts made for her and her SN DD. I have the designs but we are having a problem getting the shirts. I am going to bring the transfers printed out to Disney and try to go shopping for shirts in Orlando before meeting this family. It is like a little give.

As you all know, I didn't have my departure date correct so I am still cleaning. I did buy black fabric and will make DS shorts this evening.

Thank you, Crystal, Linnette, Minnie2, Wendy, and all my friends for your support this past week and a half. The project was finished late last evening and the meeting is Thursday. I won't be attending because I will be in Disney.

Sorry that you are stressed! How sweet of you to do a mini-give. Hope you have a great trip!

I got up today with a headache, unable to read much , but loving pictures posted specially the snow ones, the kids got the day off today and I could not believed it as it was not that bad, but the school chancellor wanted to use the snow day allowance for the kids


My stepson was home today and wants me now to make him shorts for the summer!!!!! He thought they looked pretty funky....coming from a 21yrs old guy that only wears "brand" name I felt really good

April, Your trip is almost here hope you have fun and enjoy it (you really deserve it!!! )


Linnette

I am kinda jealous of your snow. It has been cold here, but we didn't get snow. My DD hasn't seen snow yet.
That is really flattering about your stepson. Wow!

My grandma is fine!

!

Here is what I came up with for "Little Warrior's" Big Give. I sure hope Marenna likes it. Does it look okay?

I had made some of these for my DD for our last trip to WDW. Here she is "dancing in the streets" after watching the Block Party at MGM...hahaha.

Cute big give outfit. Really like the capris/pants. Love the picture of your DD. What a cute pose!

Well, after a day of walking around in the COLD but seeing some really cool stuff - DH is exhausted - he was looking at the falls all lit up and the next thing I know...he is zonked!!

Well, Back home tomorrow - we are leaving here early cause we think we will have to shovel out when we get home!!

Loving all of your beautiful photos! I want to go there now!

Okay, so you Kathryn's out there- no offense intended of course. I think I like Katherine, but we are still up in the air on what we will choose for a last name. Our last name also starts with K- not sure I love the double illiteration though... initials would be K.K.

I love Kathryn. I always thought that Katherine looks like Kather rine... if that makes any sense. You are going to choose a different last name for the baby? I've never heard of that. I was just wondering. Excuse my ignorance please!

I can't believe I have never found this thread. I am always on the budget Board and don't look around other then that thread. I am excited to find a group of sewers. I am doing a happy dance. All of your creations have been inspiring me. I can't wait to continue to see your wonderful items. I will have to take pictures of some of mine and post them.
Lynn

Well, guess what died today? My dryer! Argh! So we just spent 2 hours in Sears and I will have a new washer and dryer delivered Friday. Tom told me I have to get a job.

Oooooh.. I have been waiting for mine to break so we can get a new one. I have to put it on spin several times sometimes to get it to spin.

I have a whole bunch of photos to share!!!

First, this is my DD14's first attempt at applique. She did great!

Cute stuff! I especially love the top your DD made and the top you made for her.

 

[PrincessKell]

Hi! Wow, go away from the boards for a day and there are like five pages! I love all the new outfits posted. The big give outfits are so sweet. Love the Wish shirts!

Tom, love those little dresses, and hats! Oh I love the bright colors to them.

Those NF pictures are sooo AWESOME! I so wish to visit there someday.

Tomorrow, I am gonna start on the crayon roll ups for the one of the big gives. I'm excited. I am also going to work on my room mates daughter's St. Patty's day outfit.

OOOH side note, I had another date. It was lunch date yesterday with the same guy as the other weekend. He is super nice. He even said he would go to the fabric store with me today (much later.. haha since its nearly 1am now.) to look for peach swirl fabric for Georgia's Dr. Seuss outfit to match that shirt. What a guy, huh?! hahaha

Welcome! Can't wait to see your pictures.

Did you buy the Electrolux washer and dryer that will wash and dry a load of clothes in 36 minutes??????

Um, no! We got Kenmores because they are always rated highest on consumer reports! They are not coming until Friday though.

Geez Steph! Stop breakin' stuff! Um, you DO have a job!

I know, but I am not working much. I wanted to work 2-3 times a week, but they are only calling me 2-3 times a month! Someone called me from the Y yesterday about a temporary job, so keep your fingers crossed!

Poor Jeanne! Maybe you need more or different antibiotics; you are supposed to feel much much better after taking them, not worse!

I am so impressed with your daughter's applique! It is awesome! Your big give stuff is great too; thank you for posting all the pictures.

I need to get started on sewing the kiddos there St patty's outfits I usually have the hardest time with this holiday since my grandma died on that day and i was there ... i was talking to her and i turned around to see if my mom was back from the vending machine and she was gone ...

He even said he would go to the fabric store with me today (much later.. haha since its nearly 1am now.) to look for peach swirl fabric for Georgia's Dr. Seuss outfit to match that shirt. What a guy, huh?! hahaha

Awesome! And a guy who will go to the fabric store has got to be smitten!

Procrastination- that is my middle name! I have the pattern pieces traced and cut out, just have to cut out the fabric now. But it takes me forever to do anything these days.

We got a ton of snow, I dont know how much- a foot I would guess, maybe slightly less. But too much in my opinion. Can't wait til in melts. Im counting the days til daylight savings!!!

Okay, so you Kathryn's out there- no offense intended of course. I think I like Katherine, but we are still up in the air on what we will choose for a last name. Our last name also starts with K- not sure I love the double illiteration though... initials would be K.K.

I had a terrifying visit with the 3rd Doc in the practice I have been going to and have decided to switch back to my midwives, I wont go in to all the details but her philosophies on a lot of things do not jive with mine. Now I have to make the call to get my records and then switch them over.

Only 12 weeks left. My mobility is somewhat limited due to the pain, but not as bad as last time- lets pray it stays that way!

Okay- Im off to work on that dress!

I hear you about the cold!
Sorry about the rough visit with the dr. In a few short weeks you will be holding your new little one and all will be good in the world!

I can't believe I have never found this thread. I am always on the budget Board and don't look around other then that thread. I am excited to find a group of sewers. I am doing a happy dance. All of your creations have been inspiring me. I can't wait to continue to see your wonderful items. I will have to take pictures of some of mine and post them.

WELCOME!!!

Eric is HOT in True Blood, They did a good job casting! I have the books on hold from the library.

Oh yeah they did! I love my viking!

I
I have been soooo sick with the strep throat that will not die, but today I was down to just a severe headache, so I got to sew! (I'm so glad they put that banana back where it belongs!) I made St. Patrick's Day stuff for the girls--a pillowcase dress for Lil and a skirt for Jay. I have sort of been challenged to not spend money until the end of May and I think having a deadline is making it a little easier for me so I'm trying to use fabric I already have and not buying any. It will be a challenge for the kids' Easter clothes though. I can come up with something for the girls, Seth only wants to wear a suit and tie every week anyway, but Jayden needs shoes and Luke needs something. It will be interesting. I hope I can do it.

Feel better!

I have a whole bunch of photos to share!!!

First, this is my DD14's first attempt at applique. She did great!

Two pairs of Pj's I made for my son for our upcoming Disneyland trip. I HATE the quality of the fabric with Cars and Buzz Lightyear on. I bought it from ebay and it turned out to be c****y quality but I wanted to use it. It is ok for pjs.

A pirate Mickey outfit for Andrew. On the back it says Mickey's first mate. The front is a Pirate head Mickey.

I made a top for my DD out of that great gathered fabric you can buy. We added some straps and, 20 minutes later, a shirt!

My first ever Crayon Roll Ups. These are for a Big Give.

Three piece set for Jake's Big Give. It is a T shirt with a pirate Mickey, shorts and a vest.

This is for Hannah, Jake's sister, for their Big Give. I hope she likes it.

Your DD did a great job! I have that Mickey fabric I think I am going to ake ds a bucket hat with it since I only have a small amount!
I also have one of the coordinating fabrics of your ds shorts! I think it is so cute! I was torn on using it for him because I thought maybe it is to young but seeing how cute it is on your ds I am now going to use it! Thanks!

Everything else is adorable!

I know i have heard so much about those books they are on my list for when hubby gets a job I have to have my own copy because i have been told i am rough on books

:et me know wen you start them! I wonder if you will be in Bill's, Camp, Eric's camp or Quin's!

Hi! Wow, go away from the boards for a day and there are like five pages! I love all the new outfits posted. The big give outfits are so sweet. Love the Wish shirts!

Tom, love those little dresses, and hats! Oh I love the bright colors to them.

Those NF pictures are sooo AWESOME! I so wish to visit there someday.

Tomorrow, I am gonna start on the crayon roll ups for the one of the big gives. I'm excited. I am also going to work on my room mates daughter's St. Patty's day outfit.

That is a good man if he is willing to go to a fabric store with you!


Wendy what fabulous pictures! Thanks for the mini TR! You ad your DH are so stinking cute!

Wendy- Hope you are having a safe trip home. I Love the pictures you posted! You and your husband look so happy and it is just beautiful there. I especially love the ICE covering everything!!! What a nice trip to take on a weekend. Oh, and my package came in the mail yesterday! Thank you sooo much!

Okay, here is one of my latest.....I don't know why I thought I had some time before the Dr. Seuss birthday . My fabric that I ordered hasn't come yet anyway so I did not make anything. We had a snow day yesterday and last night I look in my daughter's bookbag and there was a note saying that they were going to celebrate on Monday (which would be today because of the snow day). So, I had to whip something up.....

Time to teach myself how to applique! I had no idea what I was doing, I had never done this before and it was my only option......here is what I came up with:

She looks mad, but she's not. She is just posing. It's her model attitude!

So, it didn't turn out too bad for a first try. I have no idea if I did it correctly but whatever I did, it seemed to work for me! I made this in about an hour before I went to bed.

My grandma is fine!

She was nauseus and then her heart rate went way up (according to my mom). So, we thought we should take her in. Her heartrate was fine while we were there. They did all sorts of tests and x-rays and decided that she just has a virus.

I thought I posted this last night, but I don't see it. Maybe I'm getting too old. At any rate, it bears repeating.

Yeah, Grandma!

 

[snubie]

Very cute. You should be proud.

I love it. that is so cute! You did a great job for an hour and your first try. haha Im too chicken to do an applique so I am rushing to look for fabric to match the shirt my mom got her. Luckily, they are celebrating on friday...I have some time. My mom even express shipped the shirt. She said the shipping was more than the shirt. hahaha I wish I had the talent to do applique, I would love to do the "Dr. Seuss" colors and theme... but I would have had to applique. One of these days... But non the less, yours is Greatness! Good job mommy! She looks very model, and those shoes! Love them!!

Standing on the rim -

THe view and sound is AMAZING!!

Its so cold the mist freezes to everything! But makes cool rainbows!!

These pictures are really beautiful BUT.....
Are you crazy woman!?!?!?!?! It's freezing out there!!

hi friends.

Sorry Im not on here like I used to be, but my oldest has been going thru some "things" lately. Its super frusterating and trying. I swear I sometimes don't know what im doing wrong, and others know that its just a "thing"
we are going thru. It is sometimes soo hard to keep faith that god would do all this to my daughter...know what I mean. But just imagine how it would be if she was with birth mom, and we would not have got her at an early age. And my twins are not doing so well in kindergarten. We are trying to get them tested, and on an IEP. We've been so busy.

HANG IN THERE GIRLIE! It'll all come to an end sooner or later. in the meantime, don't be a stranger- you're among friends here!!

Okay, so you Kathryn's out there- no offense intended of course. I think I like Katherine, but we are still up in the air on what we will choose for a last name. Our last name also starts with K- not sure I love the double illiteration though... initials would be K.K.

My daughters name is kathryn (we call her Katie), and our last name begins with a K as well. We actually have nicknamed her KK. KK is alright as long as her middle name doesn't begin with a K... IF it did.... then you might probably would have apretty serious problem!

WELCOME!

I have been soooo sick with the strep throat that will not die, but today I was down to just a severe headache, so I got to sew! (I'm so glad they put that banana back where it belongs!)

Glad to hear you're feeling better, but really jhammers..... get the whole body better- ok??
