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

[Tinka_Belle]

Ok so I have been cutting fabric. I am really putting off this skirt for some reason. I really want to sew. Maybe because I keep looking at all these awesome outfits you all are posting.

But.....side note Georgia has a really REALLY loose top tooth. So tonight she really wanted it out. I mean OUT! SO we tried everything we could think of that she would let us do to get it out. I even offered her $5 extra dollars on top of the tooth fairy if I could just pull it out. hehehehe So here are the pictures from tonight.

The tooth

The floss

calling her dad telling him I was torturing her by trying to pull her tooth out, but the whole time laughing. haha

The warm towel

The apple

and there you have it folks... and you are wondering where the picture is with the missing tooth...It never came out. NOTHING worked! any suggestions other than let it fall out.

If you find something that works please let me know. Everytime Jenna has a loose tooth we try everything and nothing ever works. She always ends up just letting it fall out. I love the pic of Georgia with the apple. That is how Jenna eats an apple too.

I forgot about that outfit with the swirly Mickeys! I remember you making it and telling us that you glued it on! I have to say it's so funny that you glued it on considering how beautiful your outfits are now (not that it wasn't cute - just glued!) ! Wow! What a difference a little time makes - didn't you just say that you had been sewing for a little over a year?

Yeppers. It will be 2 years of sewing for me in June.

So here is Gillian's munchkin costume. We bought the shirt and the pants are of course, CarlaC's Easy Fit. The pageboy hat turned out cuter than I first thought. I think the flower helps. The director said to wear bright colors so this is what she chose:

I think the hat is perfect! The one I made was still too big and kept falling over he eyes. It was cute for pictures, but not practical for every day wear.

Does anyone have or know where I can find a picture of the old-time minnie hat. The one with the flower sticking out of the top. I want a pic of the full hat. All I can find is this

Thanks in advance!!!

How about this?

Does anyone know if the newly updated CarlaC Easy Pants go down to 6 months now? It seems like a lot of her redone patterns do. I won the Easy Pants pattern from youcanmakethis, so it isn't in my library in order to get the update.

If it goes down to 6 months, I may just go buy it.

Here is my patchwork skirt. I took all of this time making sure the characters were placed perfectly in the center of each square. A lot of fabric gets wasted this way! As you can see, once it is gathered, you can't really see all of the characters well. I either needed to do bigger squares, or less, so they weren't gathered so much. Oh and DD hates the top. "It's white Mommy. It is not fancy enough."

I think this is my favorite pose. It's a cute picture to save for when she grows up!

I think your skirt is really cute! I made a similar one with the Ariel fabric you chose and also a Hannah Montanna. One thing I love about them is that they are not too fitted, so the girls wore them all last summer and are STILL wearing them!

I hear you on the shirt. Did you make the white one? Maybe something similar in a blue or purple to go with the skirt? I personally like the white, it goes with the ruffle, but my DD's just won't wear it if they don't like it and I don't want to do all that work to have a cute shirt hanging in the closet! kwim? Maybe you could make another skirt or jumper to go with the shirt?

OR.....maybe she'll just forget and wear it as is!!???

Great job and good luck!

I was thinking of possibly doing a peasant top just like this "plain" one, but in a poka dot. We will see. I hate to put more time into something I don't like too much. I feel like I should just give up, and start a new plan!

Yes it does go down to size 6 months. You might be able to email the site owners and see if you can get the updated version. They are really sweet people and I am sure that they will help you out.

Here are some pictures of Grace wearing the outfits I made her. I already posted the one of her wearing the dress Cindee made her. We had a great trip except Grace had a occasional cough the whole trip. She would cough and then throw up after she was perfectly fine. We had taken her to the doctor before we left and he said she had bronchitis and we didn't need to cancel the trip. I was worried when she would cough because she was in the hospital before Christmas with pneumonia. I had posted pictures of her here back then you might remember. When we came home I went straight back to the doctor with her and he did a test on her. I got the call yesterday afternoon that she has whooping cough. I am going to call Port Orleans Riverside in a little while to tell them to clean the room we were in and the crib very good. I would NEVER have gone had I known what she had. We were on the buses with other people and all. I am so upset. I mean between the coughing she was perfectly normal. I had NO clue. I pray that we didn't get anyone else sick. I am sorry for rambeling on but I know you all give good advice. If anyone has any I would appreciate it.

Well I guess I will show you my pictures of her outfits now.

That is so cute. She will be the cutest Munchkin ever. What size hat did you use for your DD? I have had that pattern since last year and still don't what size to make for Jenna.

Based on her head size I made the XL but it was waaayyy to big. I ended up cutting like 8 inches off the band! Because of that, the band was too big for the hat part so the hat has some gathering. I actually think that makes it look cuter. The gathering makes it a little poofier. Good luck and be prepared to fit it to her head a couple of times while you are working. Keep the seam ripper near by

Its not that your sewing is isn't great but I think your talent is the way you put the fabrics together. You have a great eye for design.

Thanks for the compliment. I found the trick for making it look right on her head is to pull it down in the back. It is pretty fitted on her since she needs to dance in it.

Wow, whooping cough. Scary, hope she is on the mend. At least she looked really cute! Do you remember the character on Saturday Night Live (I think Steve Martin played him) that would say "its better to look good than feel good?" The outfits are adorable.

I had bought Carla's strip work and peasant top before YCMT started the librabies, so even though I bought them, they weren't in there. I asked Carla how I could get the updates and she sent them to me. I'd contact the admins. at YCMT first, then see if Carla can send you the update. I don't think you'll have to go to Carla though.

I emailed them. Felt weird asking for more on something that was free, though, which is probably why I didn't think to do it. Doesn't hurt to ask though, right?

you could use them to make easy fit pants and bowling shirts for AK. Mix them with some animal prints and/or Minnie Dot like T-Beri did. Her khaki outfit for Little was so cute!

Oh I will.. She went to school not wanting to go in case her tooth came out there.. hehe but she said they give you a pouch to wear and put your tooth in at the nurse office. I packed her another apple just in case. hehe

Well I guess I will show you my pictures of her outfits now.

I agree with Jham! Those would be perfect for that and T-Beri's outfit was so so cute!

I have about 5-6 pairs of jeans and khaki's saved too! I know some day I'll use them! I use corduroy all the time for appliqueing that came from some old pants of mine!

just a quick drive by but please pray for noah...mom posted on his blog he is not well, the two of them are trying to fly home. thank you

 

[Tinka_Belle]

Jenna and I both just got back from the doctor and we both left with medication for ADD. We are hoping for positive results. I hate that she has to be on medicine, but I would rather have her ADD under control than to continue to cause a gap between her and those around her. Hopefully this will help us both get and stay on track.

I will be praying for Noah.

I have a few pages to catch up on, but I finally have a bunch of photos to post!

Here is my girlfriend holding up the VERY simple quilt I did for her 3rd baby's 1st birthday- I love this fabric- but I did not like that if I cut the fabric so that the blocks ran straight I would lose a ton of yardage- so I just evened it up and went with it.

Here we all are outside the Cosmic Omelette (which wasn't that cosmic) I hate that you can't tell I'm pregnant in this pic- I could easily be mistaken as very "thick"


Here is the St Patrick's Day dress (we just got back home after being out all day- and she was getting ready for a nap- so her piggy tails were gone and she's eating a cookie!)

just to try to show the fabric really is brighter than many of the photos reveal

I just got a new order of bows, but wanted to take pics of a few others in my collection too...
These are all sets- but for ease of picture taking i included only 1 of each

I only had one made, now I need to ask Waughzee to make another one, as the pony tail just doesnt work with car seats. but I love this bow!

I did the reverse on these- I had the bows made and then bought fabric to make an outfit to match- on my to do list to make them up

I had 2 of these made to go with the Feliz I made her for easter- I love these because really they will go with everything this summer too!

... any suggestions other than let it fall out.

Kell, twist that sucker right out of her mouth. Get a good grip on it with tissue paper or gauze, then twist it a little while pulling gently. It should come right out!

How early do you all start planning or making outfits for trips to Disney? We aren't going until October (I know I'm probably WAY too early now, is that possible? ), but I know how busy the end of summer/fall can be and I'm naturally a procrastinator.

I was wondering how far ahead it may be safe to start without fear of any MAJOR growth spurts. I'm thinking mainly dresses for the girls so I think I could always get away with something being a bit shorter...just add leggings or something?

 

[kstgelais4]

here is Jenna this morning on the way out the door for school. The bow in her hair is from Kelly. She has already worn it twice this week and she wore it several times last week. She really likes the bow. The jacket that she is wearing I got at Wal-Mart yesterday morning. It was marked down from $16 to $5. Jenna was really excited to get it yesterday.

She looks so cute! I am glad she likes the bow!

Here are some pictures of Grace wearing the outfits I made her. I already posted the one of her wearing the dress Cindee made her.

We are going in Oct. too, and I have already completed 2 sets of outfits. I just made them one size bigger for everyone.
