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

[mickimousemama]

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

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!!!

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!

Thanks for the help. Guess I'll hand embroider Thing 1 and Thing 2 on the tummies and their faces, gonna be greedy... I need more help. As I said, I'm not feeling very creative so I'm hoping you guys can help. I'm making 2 Simply Sweets for DD9 and her BF. Had NO luck finding anything Seuss so here is what I've come up with:

The red and white will be the skirt and the black swirl will be the bodice.

Okay, here is where I need help... what to do for the ruffle and the straps. You can't tell from the photos but the torquise fabric is sparkly. What do you guys think? Is the black/white dot too much? Should I reuse the black swirl on the ruffle? Do I need the turquoise on the bottom? And the straps? If I use the dots on the ruffle should I reuse it for the straps.

And if that wasn't enough questions for you... I may make them Easy Fit pants to match. What would you make those out of? Thanks a million for your input!!!!

I love the outfit so far. I like the pop the turquoise adds to the bottom I would use it. I would use it on the strap too.

I feel like I am finally joining the living again! What a bug I had: I would definitely recommend the flu shot (for the kids it was just a little spray up the nose). I only got the kids done because Jacob has some allergies but I am glad I did, just to save them from getting as sick as I did. Next year, flu shots for everybody!

Megan talked me into this Littlest Pet Shop fabric when we were at wal mart. I was going to make an a-line top until she saw Tessa's skirt in the same fabric. She told me she HAD to match Tessa!

That is our orange tree, for Teresa. Here she is going off to school today. I made a gymboree-like hair thing and put her hair in sock curls last night:

Now I just have to finish my St. Patrick's day dress, which has been sitting almost-done since before I got sick!

Glad you are feeling better. The oranges look yummy and I like the LPS outfit and the hair thing.

The ribbon is actually all over Ebay. If you type in minnie grosgrain, it should pop up. There's alot of different styles of minnie ribbon out there.

Darn, I was hoping I could find it in a store. ( I really dislike Ebay)

Hey Y'all if you have time could you say a prayer for my FIL. he lives with us and last night about 11pm he had a heart attack. He is in the cath lab now. He is so hard headed he has been having chest pain for a few days and would not go to the Dr. Thank goodness I talked him in to taking a couple of aspirin before he went to bed last night.

Praying for your Dad.

i just had to comment that i love when little girls look like little girls on their communion. one of the girls at work just told me that there is a communion registry for dresses over $400 (aaargghh) so that no body else in your church can wear the same dress as another. it seems a bit much too me, but my dd is only 2, so i dont have to worry yet. i think this would make a sweet , young girl dress. good luck with whatever pattern you choose,

it seems to me as if these people are missing the spirit of the occasion if their main concern is whether another girl is wearing the same dress.

just a drive by post I am struggling so hard right now with Life Now it seems that Khrystian my oldest will have to be held back in 6th grade for another year He is struggling so hard in school and his memory retention is behind so much,
Plus it does not help that we have no idea what we will be doing after June Or where we will be and he is stressing about that .. My Dh still has no job and it has been 5 months now ...
I am asking for as many prayers as possible My life is just one pain staking struggle after the other I know that there are those out there that need my Prayers more and i am so sorry to take up there's
I start school on Tuesday to be a Esthetician and now i am afraid that this is gonna throw them through a loop even more .
I am just at a loss and feel so bad for feeling this way when i know it could be so much worse Ya Know
Camden has 100th Day of school tomorrow and he wants me to sew something for him .. did somebody make a outfit for there kid for 100th day I can't remember and i did not see anything in the PB account ..

Thanks and so sorry for venting

Good luck with your classes on Tuesday. I hope things start looking up for you soon.
www.nobbieneezkids.com has some cute 100 days embroidery designs. LisaZoe appliqued a big 100 on a t-shirt. They had eyes and teeth to make them look like a monster.

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
And I love these buttons for embellishment:

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.

Wow... I hope things start to even out for you soon! That outfit is so cute. I love that fabric!

I know it is hard when we only want the very best for all children. Social and academic issues are so hard to address because they are such a big part of our children lives. They are in school most of the day with peers. Does your son have IEP? Does he need an IEP if he doesn't have one? What can the school do to help Khrystian get the skills he needs to be successful. Just holding him back is not enough IMO.

Sorry, I have been working on issues within the same area for a week now. I am writing DS IPC, don't ask!

I will pray for your family and ask God to give peace to your heart during such a difficult time.

cute

Thanks.
Rylie is adorable! Her hair is so precious.... the outfit is cute too.

your DD is very cute I love the outfit!

Thanks everyone for all of your wonderful comments on my baby!

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!

Get ready for too many Nikki's! She was doing her best supermodel poses and actually got mad when I stopped taking pictures!

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

She looks fantastic in that outfit!!! Great job on the skirt!

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

LOVE LOVE THIS!!! You dd is beautiful!

Okay, before I return to today's lurkdom, I MUST comment. This is so darling. The shirt...is that bias tape sewn on with a blanket stitch? I've never seen that done, and it's sooooo cute!

THank you so much, and yep that is exactly what I did!!!!!! Great job on the outfit for your friend!

I think I missed someone, oh, MIKIMOUSEMOMMA(sp?) I love the outfit, very cute!

 

[billwendy]

So Wendy, our resident rag quilt expert (and anyone else who knows how to do this please feel free to respond!!!) how big are you making your rag quilts? How big are your squares? And at what size of squares do you have to put the X through them, or should you do that for all of them? TIA for your help!

lol - you are too funny - expert I am not -but I have been having fun with it!!! I followed the directions in the link for the one that the squares were like4.75 and 8.5ish...i didnt put an X in any of them. Then I made one for my friend, and I did X hers as they were 10" and then the one for my DH I only X'd the larger panels which were 17x17. Cant wait to see what you make!!

Oh no, that is why it still looks so perfect. The stitching is the scary part, I'll work on that tonight.



Wow, amazing smocking! I can tell how much work this one was. Hopefully she can wear it for a couple of years.



You thought right. She is adorable. Out of curiousity, what do you put in her hair? My DD2 has curly hair also and I haven't found a product that works well in her hair. If I don't put anything in her hair, she looks like a frizzy mess with dreadlocks.



Sending you prayers.

Thanks for everyone's creative help! I'm off to Joanne's to get more of the black swirl. I'm also going to buy the Singer Serger they sell (its on sale for $249). Does anyone own it? Would love some feedback. Based on the online reviews, either people love it or hate it. My birthday is next week and I'm buying it for myself! DH will claim its from him... he kept beating around the bush that he was going to get me a serger but it won't happen unless I go get it.

If this is the same one they had on sale for that price on Black Friday, I ended up returning it and then getting the cheaper one at walmart - it had better reviews....but have fun with it!!

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!

YAY!! Getting ready for Disney!!! Have FUN!! Prayers being sent your way!!

Steph - you were soooo sick!!! Glad to see you back!!!! We missed ya!!

THanks!

I got it at Shirley's.

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?

OOOH I'm so glad that you liked the show. I don't know anyone who has seen it. I will download the soundtrack...thanks for the suggestion.

We figured we only had 5 options for shows that she would enjoy (Lion King, Mary Poppins, Little Mermaid, Wicked, and Mamma Mia). Lion King I've already seen, all 3 of us have seen Wicked, and Randy and I have seen Mamma Mia. So that really left Little Mermaid and Mary Poppins. Ariel was cheap so she won out!

Now I have to book a Midtown hotel (I'll pay the money for the convenience of it- this is the first time we are taking her to NY so we'll see how it goes).

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

I lost yet another long post!!! Darn it!

But if you've asked for thoughts and prayers...I'm sending them your way!!!

 

[sahm1000]

Thanks! Really that is mostly all I have made since November. I guess I did make half a pettiskirt (not exactly what I wanted to, but the wedding was the next day and I had to finish it!), and another strip skirt/hat set. I work on sewing in the evenings after she goes to bed. I am working on a true pettiskirt now! I'm in grad school getting my PhD in biology. The first year is pretty tough with classes, but now that I am in my 5th year and almost done it's really just like a job so not too much take home. I don't see how some of these moms do it though!!

Didn't you have a little girl last summer as well? How is she doing?

Jessica

Yes, I did. I think our girls are about the same age. Lilly was born on 7/2. She is an easy baby. Sleeps a ton! She sleeps about 13 hours straight at night wakes up around 8:30am and then is down for another nap by 10-10:30. Today she slept from around 10:00-3:30! It's great but makes it hard since I can't run any errands. But I know I shouldn't complain ! I have been a bad Mommy and haven't made her any clothes since we went to Disney in September. My older two have gotten things but I keep putting her in their old things, poor baby! I am going to make them Easter dresses (that's the plan anyway - we'll see what gets done!) and she'll get one of those so she can match too.

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!!!

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!

Cute pic. That is one huge dog. Didn't you say he had Chemo for like a year? If so I don't think his hair will grow back till that is done.

 

[tinashaver]

See she does sew for other people. Although sometimes I do feel like my girls would just move her in with us if they could.

does the dog sit by him while he is doing chemo? I'll be that would help having a friend right by.

I love it! and that you used fabric similar to what Lilo wears. It's great!
