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

[fairygoodmother]

I know a few of you ladies have been to the American Girl Doll Store in NYC. What hotel did you stay in, reasonable, close to the store and safe. The first hotel I looked at close to the store was the Peninsula and at $1,000 a night for a double room, I just about died laughing. We are about 1 and 1/2 hours away from NYC so we could just drive up, but really want to stay overnight. So where have you all stayed and tell me about it. We are going to surprise DD for her 6th birthday.

Both times I've been to New York have been with my daughter for dance. She was at dance training with the Rockettes at Radio City. We stayed at the Doubletree Guest Suites, Times Square and it was WONDERFUL! It was just my dd and I and I felt very secure there. We had to walk to Radio City/Rockefeller Plaza/Broadway shows/Central Park/American Girl Place. All of those places were an easy walk for us. Oh how I wish I could go back!

Hi Folks,

Thank you to those that complimented me on the St Patty's Day dress, I'll have to repost once I get the underdress completed (so sad, its just waiting for collar and sleeves)

Anywho- I can't find one of my favorite baby patterns- I cant remember who even makes it- its an infant wrap dress/top with ties and it can be reversible. Heres the back

You know I was looking at the tie dye thread i posted, and thought....hmmm what if you dyed white fabric with the mickey heads all over it and made a complete outfit, either pants or skirt what have you. and just paired it with e white shirt with a tie dyed mickey head (instead of whole shirt). I know lots of work, but how cute would that be...

I might have to borrow this idea. That is a good one.

My suggestion is to buy Tracie on the DISigns forum like I always do Here are the latest things she made for my DD

My 2nd suggestion is to get transfer paper for DARK colors no matter what color tshirt you are using. The color comes out better and you do not need to reverse the image on your printer.


Another random comment...what is up with all the young love lately? Spring in the air or something? Facebook people know this one but there is a little boy @ basketball who keeps calling Aisling "Bella"- Spanish is his first language so I was trying to explain to Aisling that he's calling her beautiful after she kept yelling at him every week "my name is ASH-LING" Anyway, last night he came over and just started kissing her head over and over. And then he asked "why can't I marry Bella so I can kiss her all the time???"

Weren't boys gross when we were 5????

I don't remember liking boys until I was 9 or 10. Up until then they were gross.

That is super cute. I am sorry I don't know what pattern it is though. Here is a website that I go to when I am looking for an older pattern. You may not be able to find the same pattern, but they might have one super close.http://www.lanetzliving.net/home

Ohh, I was JUST looking at a pattern like this. I think it was McCalls 4812? Even if its not, I ADORE the other view. I am wating for McCalls patterns to go on sale at my store

Nicole That pattern has a view that matches the dress that Megan is wearing.

Hmmm...that is very similar, but the back doesnt drape the same way- but at least I'm getting closer! I know this pattern was around at the same time mine was.
Boy, I really wish I could find mine!!!!! I made this one last May- WHAT on earth did I do with it???? I keep all my patterns in a file box except for a few Im thinking of doing next and those are in a closet near my machine. My stuff is spread out. A good chuck of my fabric and my file box are in a empty room in our basement, then I have a "fabric drawer" upstairs in our spare room (which is turning into the new nursery) and then my second half of my fabric stash is in the aforementioned closet. I have looked in those 3 places......

If you look at the view that is in the lower right hand side of the pic that I posted it is the same as Megan's dress.

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

It is similiar- but when I looked on patternreview and saw the ones made there it has a different drape in the back. but she did it with buttons- I was really hoping to find the exact pattern- but maybe that one would work. I like that there are different views so I would get more than 1 pattern out of it.
Hmmm.

I FOUND IT!!! I'm such a nut!! I went and looked up some of the reviews I have written on Pattern Review and lo and behold- I wrote one on this pattern (this is the first item of clothing I have ever made)
Easy Stitch N Save M5367

Is this a sub-catagory of McCalls? Maybe it's the exact same pattern??????

editted to add- in fact the more I think about it the more I want the pattern Daniela and you found!!!!
I can only find it for sale on McCalls' site for $10.95....

Some really good friends of mine are taking their kids tomorrow night I made them shirts with their names and disney characters (designed by Kellybell on the design board, she has a photobucket account you can go search for names in, it's listed in her siggie on all her posts) They turned out really cute!

Have fun!!

Thank You
I took a look over there! She is a really great DISigner. Lots of great stuff!

I think I've made decisions about they're outfits! Now I just have to do them!
I'll post pictures tomorrow!

The only difference between the two patterns is that the other one has an extra view to it. This one is about 8 dollars less than the other. It is a Mccall's sub-company. They took away the other view and marketed it as an easy pattern.

Tracie - I went through your whole thread looking at your DISsigns.
Soooo adorable!
My kids were loving them.

Did you ever end up making one with the alternate family type, the one that looks like the car decals???

We're waiting to see if Grandma is joining us, then I might ask you to design one for us!

Yes I did but I think I sent it to the person in a PM. I do other stuff too, but that thread takes alot of my designing time.
I would be happy to help you with designs.

By the way I went and read some of your Hick trip report. Very entertaining!

I think that someone was looking for this pattern a little while ago. It is the A-Line dress that crosses in the back.http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.ph...l+pattern+infant&ga_search_type=tag_title_all

Can you wait until McCalls patterns are on sale at your fabric store? That's when I am going to buy this pattern. And yes, the patterns look to be the same, just the one Crystal and I found have a second view

Hi Everyone,

Some Great news about Daniel!! Things are going well raising money for the dr bills and stuff!! and guess what? they reached the goal of raising $10, 000 and now are going to try for $15, 000!!! The benefit isnt for a few weeks yet, so Im really hoping it will come together - really, it will help them soooo much, they re really fallling behind with regular every day stuff as well. I guess you dont think about how the gas, quick trips to the cafeteria, cups of coffee, copays for medication etc all add up very very quickly!!!

The other good thing is that his Dad was called back to work!! YAY!!!! This will help too! I really see God's hand in this - Daniels Dad was laid off EXACTLY the amount of time needed for him to do all the radiation treatments!! How cool is that!!

Thanks again to those who have made things to help Daniel and go up for the silent auction!!! EVERYTHING helps!!!

Thanks friends, Wendy

Fantastic! That is really wonderful news. I can only imagine how hard this has been on everyone emotionally and financially.

Yes, you are so right - their one 7 year old son (adopted) has severe ADHD, behavior issues etc due to prenatal drug exposure is really out of control right now. He is craving attention from his parents ( you can totally understand why) and is tearing up the house and even told his teacher at school that his brother (Daniel) punches him in the stomach while his dad holds him down - how sad is that!! we were so scared what would happen after that!!!! The poor kid just wants attention, but doesnt know how to get it the right way - he is a humdinger that one!!!!

I have made this pattern a couple of times (well, the McCall version) and it is so stinkin' cute and super easy! This would be a fantastic beginner project.
