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

[PrincessKell]

Did anyone use their Brother CE5000 sewing machine yet? Im still undecided!!

Those dresses are so cute. I love making Tshirt dresses. So simple but can be so cute too!

I am gonna set up shop tomorrow with the new machine, so I will let you know how I Like it.

Georgia has half days at school all week for Parent teacher conference SOOOO instead of sewing today, this is what we did after school.... (it was soooooooooo nice to get out of the house!)
ready for some gorgeous photo shoot. hehe Gotta love the Peach hammin it up! and notice she has her socks on.. haha she CAN NOT stand the feeling of stand on her feet. So the socks help that. haha it cracks me up. Looks so funny.

One of my favorites...anyone singing " I Love what you do for me... TOYOTA!" ?

Here is my best friend and her daughter ( she is here and said I Could post. haha they stayed the night)

Ok...Tomorrow is my sewing day! oooh and my parent teacher conference too! YIKES!

 

[*Toadstool*]

Ok it's late must sleep! I spent hours in the kids room today organizing their stuff, dd went out to the living room, I didn't hear from her for a few minutes looked out the door and saw her dumping the beta food into the goldfish tank! NOOOOOOO UGH! So that was an ordeal trying to get it all out short of dumping the whole tank out! I swear trouble follows that girl!

This is one reason I don't want a fish. I know I would feed it the wrong stuff on accident...

I made the bows out of ribbon--my 1st time with that particular bow. DD3 is all into having TWO ponytails right now, and she HAS to have bows! She doesn't care whether they match, she just has to have them--I like to make sure they at least halfway match! And yes, she will be moving too much for many people to notice the flaws & she loves it so that's all that matters!

I just found out DH got free skybox tix for Disney on Ice--Worlds of Fantasy next month! Now to figure out some outfits for the girls after getting my machine serviced & getting over this vertigo... Any easy suggestions?

My DD likes bows too. I tried saving money by buying 1 snow white bow, and she keeps asking me where the other fluffy bow is.
YAY FOR DISNEY ON ICE! No suggestions on the vertigo though. I do get motion sickness and am terrified to think I'll miss out on the teacups at DW.
Be glad for the free tickets. I spent what felt like a fortune on tickets.

Here are a few teaser pics of the bed. For those of you who don't know my dad and my hubby made this bunk bed for my daughter. It started as just a funny joke and ended up with months of making this bed. This was started pre-Gustav. We had a good bit of damage from the storm, so it had to get put on hold while the houses were getting all fixed up.
I don't want to ruin it and post the whole thing just yet.
The part I need ideas for is the light purple part. I have dark purple paint that I MUST use. I have alot of it and it was bought for that purpose. Interior paint is expensive too.
If I don't come up with any , I plan on taping it off and just making a border in the dark purple. Taping isn't working well on these paints. The cheap masking tape is working better than the blue stuff though. Someone told me it is because it is so humid here. I've never painted stuff like this outside, so I guess it could be true. Could be that this is a latex finish paint.
I was thinking of stencils. Anyone have any experience with these??? Any ideas on what kind of stencil would look good??? Is it hard to get it not to bleed through and go underneath the stencil stuff? I hope we have a painter.. LOL!
I am just guessing here. I refuse to airbrush again.
The airbrush kept spitting paint randomly and I just had enough. I completely airbrushed all the edges and then decided I didn't like it and am starting over.

My worst fear is having to repaint these purple pieces again. I don't think they can stand another layer of paint.
Oh, and I included some pictures of the bricks. I am iffy on them too, but it is just because it takes so dang long to tape off all these lines! The flash kinda made them disappear so that is why the dark picture is there. I hate the purple on the window. My dad (Pa Pere to my DD) did that though.

LOVE the ones with the flower. Looks like a fun day. My DD love the beach. Our beach was still trashed last time I went there. I hope it is ready now!

Thank you! I think I took nearly 200 pictures this afternoon. LOTS of them. and some of the pictures are sooo priceless. I love them so much. Peach has so much fun at the beach. Its the one place (besides Disneyland) that she can just let it all go at. I am so glad we live close. its only 40 minutes from us.

 

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

We visted a pioneer camp this weekend. Here is Morgan's take on a "prairie" apron dress. She did get quite a few compliments. LOL

Cindee, no wonder why our two got along so well together! We just love that Morgan! Cindee, you ain't half bad either!

 

[minnie2]

Okay, I am voicing my opinion for the October dismeet (even though I have no current plans of attending). Let's do all the kiddos in halloween customs! Do we have a meeting place yet? Guess we can wait until we a bit closer to decide!

I am cool with that!

I FINALLY finished my "funky Dr. Seuss" hoodie. Lets just say it took me forever and ever. I mean really forever. However, I must say that I LOVE it. Now it might just be me, but I love funky things!!! This raglan is so me!! Hahaha. Now seeing as though this was my very first time making a raglan, it is so not perfect but I don't care. I LOVE it and so does my little one.

Initially my plan was to have DD wear this to school for Dr. Seuss' birthday, however, seeing as though it took me a very,very, very long time, that did not happen. So instead, we have decided to have a Cat in the Hat birthday bash this coming weekend!!! Yippeeee.....!!!

Anyway, get ready for to many "funky Cat in the Hat" hoodie pictures!!!

LOVE IT! Stunning! I can't believe you made your own striped knit!
I have this knit that looks to be about the same weight and I am terrified to use it because it is light. I might put stabilizer on the edges when I sew.....

Ok this is why I am having a "pity party" ......

This was my baby on one of her first trips to WDW.

And then look at the pioneer camp pic.

I want a bigger picture! I can't see her pretty little face!!!!!!!

Hi Guys,

Love Dr. Seuss!!!!Wow - you and Lisazoe making your own fabric lately!!! you girls are too good!!!

Morgan - wow, she really does look grown up in that picture!! Tell her I hope she enjoys her surprise!! And then tells us all about it!!!

Here is a Pinafore dress I made for little neice - it wasnt a Carla pattern, and boy did I miss that!! The directions were lacking to say the least!! Oh well, I hope it fits her!!!

Then I made 3 of these for Hannah, Elizabeth and Abby - what do you think I should put across the middle? ribbon? rick rack??? For some reason, I had forgotten about making tshirt twirl tops!! I forgot how easy they are!!

Did anyone use their Brother CE5000 sewing machine yet? Im still undecided!!

Pretty! What about some pretty ribbon? Those are some lucky little girls!

I love everything posted as usual, but this thing ROCKS!

It's a sad, sad day. I was in Walmart this evening and I wasn't going to buy any material, but just cruising by the fabric when I noticed that the shelves looked a little empty. I got closer and saw the clearance stickers. Then I looked around and saw more empty shelves. The associate confirmed my fear. They are closing our fabric department!

So sad! Sorry! I ahve to say this scares me! I just found a walmart last week that sells fabric I am scared now that I have found my love it will be taken away!

What pretty pictures!
I will tell you I am just like Peach! I hate sand in my toes! ICK! I love the beach but the sand is awful! I was even worse as a kid! I still hate the feeling of grass on my feet too.
As a baby my parent would go on a picnic and lay a blanket out and they never had to worry about me EVER crawling off the blanket! I would go to the edge touch it and freak! It still gives me the willies even today!

Toadstool-Oh my I can't wait to see it it looks stunning so far!

Cindee, no wonder why our two got along so well together! We just love that Morgan! Cindee, you ain't half bad either!

There is that cute little girl!!!!!! We haven't seen her in awhile!

I will have to add Nikki to that bright pink and zebra print! Nikki wants something with those colors I just have to gigure out what! I love both of yours!

So I know that I'm totally no help with the darker purple paint, but I think some green vines and flowers painted/stenciled there will look nice. Another option would be (if you're not good at it, I'm not) hiring someone to paint just that part. Maybe a student from your local comm. college or high school even? That way they could freehand it and not worry about bleeding.

 

[snubie]

This is breath-takingly beautiful! You did an amazing job. And your daughter looks gorgeous too.

Wendy I love both of these- funny I bought this same fabric about a month ago- I love the bunnies and thought they looked like they could "do more than easter" I have yet to cut into it- it's in line! LOL
Do you have a pattern or anything you follow for the tshirt dress? It's very cute, is it hard to sew the cotton to the knit? Do you use the ballpoint needle for it? I just bought some of those.....

Okay, now I am not usually a raglan fan, but THIS is awesome! I think this demands a trip to Universal! I really like this. Awesome job!

[/QUOTE]
I think this is a great photo! Love the matching doll! She looks so pretty sitting there.

This is AWESOME!!! What a great story too that your daughter helped pick out the clip art. I love the reds you chose for the stripwork part too.

My daughter was kept away from me for 5 hours. Worse than that they wouldn't let my DH take her from the nursery. I was knocked out from the morphine they gave me during the c-section. My epidural wasn't working, and they didn't believe me until I screamed when he cut me open. I didn't wake up until 5 hours later. Don't even remember the first day after I had her. I also told them I was breastfeeding and they didn't honor my wishes. I am very bitter about it.

This story just breaks my heart, when I hear about women today still having these experiences. I live in an area where I have much for choices on hospitals (there are only 2 nearby) and I'm thankful that neither has any practices like this- to think you were lying about your epi (heaven forbid THEY made a mistake, or that your DH wasn't allowed to have the baby for so long) I can imagine the scars thats left.

I still have to download pics of my white dress and I have a simply sweet planned for today- gonna try the halter this time, in preperation for summer.


I have been starting to think about our next WDW trip. We love going in May the best and DD2 b day is mid April and this baby is due mid May. So was thinking maybe we could go between their b days. We took DD when she was 15 months- but will I enjoy the trip with a 11-12 month old??? When we went in Oct (DD 15m) the weather was awful, it was soooo humid and HOT 110!!
What do you folks think?

 

[2cutekidz]

So cute!!! What is the minnie on the bodice of the dress? I can't figure out what she is dressed up as.

LOL! It's Daisy dressed as Minnie. Minnie is on the jeans as a Witch.

 

[LisaZoe]

Seriously... can you give me some applique tips? How are all your curves soooo smooth? Just lots of practice??? What stitch length do you use???
LOL.. I am always in awe of your outfits!!!

Oh, thank you. Practice definitely makes a big difference IMHO. I started doing pieced applique just over 2 years ago. My first attempts were decent but I can see a lot of improvement since then. Of course I did quite a bit of applique in that time period so I got plenty of practice.

For curves, unless they are tight curves or otherwise tricky, I try to turn the fabric as the machine continues to stitch. For me that seems to result in the smoothest stitching. I only stop to raise the presser foot and pivot the fabric when I must. I still struggle to get smooth curves on smaller areas, like little circles, that require multiple pivots. My stitch settings vary depending on what I'm doing but for most the length is .4mm and width varies from 1.5mm to 3.5mm.

WOW think they'd make us one?! That is SO amazing!!!

 

[jham]

It's like you hopped into my brain and saw my vision! I bought the sheets also (in Canada one twin set was 90$ ) I just couldn't let myself spend the money on the Pottery Barn duvet cover. Anyway, it looks great and I'm going to CASE it!

Stephanie

I have always been suspicious of Stacy's mind-reading abilities...

Wow! Really! And Lin enjoyed talking to Shell! I loved that he enjoyed talking to everyone! He didn't even really think of it as I was dragging him along.

I am not sure if he'll go for DL and WDW all in the same month. I am sitting here planning customs like a dork! As it is we have tons of halloween already!

Dallas sent Morgan something last week. I can't remember which day though. I ended up putting all your names on it though because it really is for all of you and that way you can open it if you like first.

BTW, I need to know Morgan's 3 favorite characters and favorite restaurant!

Are you taking her to the MK on her birthday to get the gift card?

Don't you dare not go to DL just to go to DW! You know people, there is a Dismeet in Disneyland in October! (maybe, we hope).

I FINALLY finished my "funky Dr. Seuss" hoodie. Lets just say it took me forever and ever. I mean really forever. However, I must say that I LOVE it. Now it might just be me, but I love funky things!!! This raglan is so me!! Hahaha. Now seeing as though this was my very first time making a raglan, it is so not perfect but I don't care. I LOVE it and so does my little one.

Initially my plan was to have DD wear this to school for Dr. Seuss' birthday, however, seeing as though it took me a very,very, very long time, that did not happen. So instead, we have decided to have a Cat in the Hat birthday bash this coming weekend!!! Yippeeee.....!!!

Anyway, get ready for to many "funky Cat in the Hat" hoodie pictures!!!

Oh and a BIG shout-out to CARLAC for a ROCKING RAGLAN pattern!! Thank you so much Carla!!!

That is amazing Beth! And a lot of work!

Does anyone know where I can get pink velcro? I checked at my local Joanns, who called a Super Joanns. Neither carries it. I then looked online and can't find any. Does it exist? Aleah has a Gymboree coat that velcros. That velcro is pink, but maybe they dyed it. Would that be hard?

Thanks for any help!
Chantell

My Joanns usually has it but it is in a little $1 section. You get a little bundle for $1 and they have pink, tan, red, green, blue, etc. It's not usually with the other velcro. In fact it used to always be in one of the little wire bins they have stacked around with cheap thread, etc.

Oh wow, I love all these pictures of your adorable kiddos!! Where is the big Candy Corn at???

Thanks! Outside of California Adventures they have the word CALIFORNIA in giant letters. At Halloweentime the As are candy corns. I'm sad because when they re-do CA they are supposdedly getting rid of the giant letters.

 

[livndisney]

Don't you dare not go to DL just to go to DW! You know people, there is a Dismeet in Disneyland in October! (maybe, we hope).

Would you please tell Shell that? He HATES to fly. No I mean REALLLLLLLY hates to fly. I highly doubt I could get him on a plane to fly all the way across country. I have mentioned going back to DL MANY times and so far no go!

Try complaining! Write letters, make phone calls, and then buy all the fabric you can at half price!

Awww..

I think my hospital experience was so horrible because I didn't get to pick my hospital or my Dr.... THANK YOU TEXAS MEDICAID
My hubby lost his job a week before I was due. Read ^^ for just a tiny part of my hospital experience. I can't go on about it because I'd start to want to punch in my computer screen.. lol
That being said my current OBGYN is great and I have had pretty good experiences with the 3 surgeries I have had at the hospital with him. I actually like another hospital that is about the same distance from me better, but my doctor doesn't go there. I was considering switching doctors just to go there if I end up having a hysterectomy. I <3 my doctor though.


So cute!!! What is the minnie on the bodice of the dress? I can't figure out what she is dressed up as.


I had a similar experience ^^.
I'm glad you were able to have the other pregnancies go so much better. That is part of my fear of trying to have another baby. I really don't want to experience that again! I know some mamas say you forget, but I can't for some reason.

When I read your post I was thinking that we had similar experiences. Not the epidural, but the rest.

I don't understand how anyone could forget something like that! For quite awhile (years) everytime they had a birth on a TV show, I would cry remembering how bad it was. I'm better now (16+ years later!)

Those dresses are so cute. I love making Tshirt dresses. So simple but can be so cute too!

I am gonna set up shop tomorrow with the new machine, so I will let you know how I Like it.

Georgia has half days at school all week for Parent teacher conference SOOOO instead of sewing today, this is what we did after school.... (it was soooooooooo nice to get out of the house!)
ready for some gorgeous photo shoot. hehe Gotta love the Peach hammin it up! and notice she has her socks on.. haha she CAN NOT stand the feeling of stand on her feet. So the socks help that. haha it cracks me up. Looks so funny.

!

Kelly, I love the pictures!! Georgia looks SO happy!

Oh WOW!!! I've wanted one of these beds for the girls for years!!! How wonderful!! I can't wait to see it all finished!!

 

[PrincessKell]

Thanks everyone on the comments on the Georgia pictures. Today was a great day... this morning not so much. ugh... but that is the day in the life of a Sweet Peach with some sass! haha I warned her teacher so she got to sit in the back to de-stress with her aide.

 

[kjbrown]

HA!! Thanks so much for butting in! It's great to get anyones opinion. The characters are the only slight concern..I want to plan character dinners but am worried that she'll freak out at the first one and then we'll be stuck all week! It'll be an adventure I am sure!! We are planning on staying at Wilderness Lodge and going back for breaks. I looked forward to bringing my child to Disney much before I actually planned on having one!! And we took our nephew at 8 months old in the middle of July and survived!! If we can do that we can do anything!! Thanks again!

The host/hostess will likely tell you to seat your children on the outside, so you can get good pics of the kids with the characters. You can still do this, the characters are REALLY sensitive to kids not liking them. However, depending on how many in your party (and how camera averse you are), you may want to sit on the outside with your child so if he/she (sorry I forgot which) gets nervous he/she can sit on your lap. My son was totally cool with seeing the characters, he just didn't want them to touch him. He finally high fived Handy Manny on day 3 or 4.

WOO Hooo...are we going to have another person join in for our mini-meet at the end of October???

I'm going the 23-27th

Crystal (Tinka_Belle) is planning on going the last week of October

Laura (ABC123mom) is planning on going 10/25-11/1

Kathy (kjbrown) is planning on going 10/24-11/2

Kelly (kstgelais) is planning on going 10/24-11/7

Minnie2 I'm missing but she is going 11/1-11/7

Cindee (LivnDisney)- lives there so we are dragging her over!


I'm having outfit issues. I want Halloween themed outfits but it's also Aisling's 6th bday...anyone know how to combine both ????

I'm with you, as you know. Sammy's 6th BD is Halloween. Now, I have a question for you seasoned MNSSHP-ers. Sammy's actual birthday is on Halloween. Would we be insane to go to MNSSHP ON Halloween? i really want to, since it's her bday, but don't know if I'm being stupid.

 

[minnie2]

My 1st simply sweet for my niece!

close up of the fabric. Just don't look too close at the stitches or you will see how bad they are! LOL Oh and a long blond hair that I didn't see until just now!
As I said last week I found a Walmart with fabric close to me well here is my new finds after 2 visits!

I think I have decided I need to make Nik a patchwork Tink something probably simply sweet as you can see I found my recent Tink obsession fabric . Then the pink skull fabric I think I will make shorts or capris and use my applique 'who says pirates can't wear pink' . I am planning to use the blue and pink at the bottom for a ruffled butt dress I saw on YCMT(sorry I can't think f what it is called!)This will be for my girlfriends DD who will be 3 in a few weeks. I was hoping to 'try' to applique Wubbzy on the front because for her it is all about wubbzy! The Mickey was on clearance and I might actually make my self something with that sinc eI LOVE Mickey but in reality it will probably go to the kids. They had so many dots fabric I had to get some! I just used all my pink and white for something for Nikki and her friends so that was replacement and the blue one I have been looking for too. I had been looking for that HSM fabric for a yr now so that was a great find! No clue what to make any suggestions?
they had so many more I could have bought but I needed to pace myself!

so, what your really trying to say is that you were born to do applique. It always just came naturally, you just keep perfecting the art.

You're funny. I think it helped a smidge that I'd sewn for 30+ years before I ever tried to do applique.
