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

[princessmom29]

Isn't it weird that so many of us have long bodied girls? I have a long torso and it took me until last year to figure out that Lands End sells long torso bathing suits

Adding to the MIL conversation...Aisling's dance teacher must be related to my MIL too! They measure the kids in the fall for costumes for the spring recital. Last year a bunch of the kids- including Aisling- had WAYYYY too small costumes because they had growth spurts. This year she decided to add two inches to all Aisling's measurements "just in case"...and what size does the costume company send??? A 12-14 I can't do anything about it being so baggy but I have to figure out how to take up the sequined straps to make it a little more "modest" or we are going to have a major wardrobe malfunction. Luckily it has a tutu so you can't see how baggy it is around her little rear nd

We started getting costumes yesterday. I have a very petite 5 year old who also has a case of the saggy baggies in her tap costume. It is a small child and is still big on her. The top is ok, but the bottom is huge in the seat. Ours has fringe hanging over it so it is not too noticable, but I am considering taking up the crotch just a little. I am just scared if I do too much the leg holes will look funny.

Very cute, I especially like that last one.

Thank you... I love the crazy kitties

I love it all but especially the crab and anchor! Amazing job as always.

Thank you... I had to complete a ton of stuff for a fabulous new group that is starting monday... I was sewing like crazy!

Here's DD9 AK outfit. The fabric I used for the appliques matches a shirt I already have that I made to wear last trip. This is a mother/daughter trip only and she is ok with being all matchy.

http://

They are not quite capri length, more board shorts length. I'm a little concerned about it being too hot for August, but will bring along last years custom in case. This was too cute of an idea to pass up.

She requested a "Golden princess" dress since this trip is in celebration of her golden birthday. Here's what I've been working on. It still needs straps of some sort and gold rick rack by the ruffle of the top. Thanks to all who gave me advice for making the top. I decided to go without a pattern and am pretty proud of how it turned out. The back is all shirred.

How do you keep the rope from unravelling at the ends? Here's a close up of the iron on applique she picked out for $1 You can see the sparkle in the gold fabric better in this picture.

It is already warm here I love it!

We have been very crisp and cold here but warming up in the afternoon to about 60. I have been debating to move back to AZ, to Mesa or Gilbert areas.

I buy a lot of Dollar toys also. Jenna doesn't play with those things for very long and then I don't mind when they get broken. This year Wal-Mart has a good selection of $1 toys and things. I do get Jenna a couple of candy things, but not too much, because she really isn't a candy person. I still have a pumpkin full of Halloween candy that needs to be thrown away. She gets a new basket every year too and usually a little stuffed animal or a little doll. She loves little dolls.

That angel of yours is too cute. She is so smart and has a great imagination. Her and Jenna would be a force to be reckoned with if they ever got together.

Oh my word... We have the Halloween bag that needs to be tossed too its on top of the fridge. I think that is something I Might do this weekend. haha Toss old candy. I think there might be Easter candy from last year she got at my brother's house.

hahaha Crystal I think you are right on that one. They would have a blast.

I made this criss cross top for DD, but want to make some matching shorts. I'm not sure what colors to use for the shorts so they don't look like jammies. She is going to be almost 10. I have lots of the blue sparkly fabric and dreen dots, only enough of the Tink fabric for 1 shorts leg and very very little of the other dotted fabric. I'd like to make cuffed easy fits shorts, but open to other suggestions.
http://
I also have a tink applique. I'm now thinking blue sparkly material, green dot cuffs and the tink applique on the bottom of one leg? What do you guys think?

What about doing some capri pants in the blue with Tink cuffs on the ends.

OH I just LOVE that Golden Princess dress. I bet she will look stunning!

*sidenote* I never heard anyone calling the "golden" birthdays "golden" but me! bwahahaha I guess there are others who are just as fantastic to say it like me. HAHA!

I love this, it reminds me of the one I made for my daughter for her birthday last year. I used Carla's halter top pattern and shirred the back too. I love the golden color. I tie a knot in the cording to keep it from fraying.

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Oh she looks some Happy! Love her and Luthie's matching dresses!!!

Just curious....for those of you who put together Easter baskets what kind of things do you like to put in them besides the obvious chocolate? Any favorite stores or websites you shop from??? I am tired of the same old kind of stuff. Haha

So glad that I'm not the only mommy who skips the candy! Aisling gets jelly beans in her egg hunt eggs and that's it. Aisling is rarely allowed candy. She doesn't even know that Disney World sells candy

You've gotten a lot of suggestions. We do the same: books, outside toys, dollar section junk, DVDs, AG stuff...and this year I got her a learning computer games.

How cute is that?!?! Looks like there is a generous tooth fairy in your neighborhood

Neither of my kids were ever attached to a blankie or lovey of anykind and it always kind of made me sad. But Lily made a bunny (she named her Ella. Well she wanted Cinderell but Dadda told her that Cinderella's real name is Ella)at build a bear last weekend and they have been inseparable. embarrassingly I think I've been fostering it a little. You know, "where's Ella" "are you bringing Ella?" etc.. I clearly have issues.

Oh T...don't fall into the lovey trap. It's a NIGHTMARE! Puppy has been Aisling's constant companion and it's AWFUL. There are actually 4 of him that are rotated without her knowledge. Two of them have disappeared...one at Disney. i would LOVE for her to get rid of him. It's going to make the kindergarten transition really rough when she can't hold him all day.

Guess what came in the mail today:

OOOH Aisling's shipped this week so maybe they came today Not that she can wear them yet with all the stupid snow

Crocs.com has almost all the Disney Crocs on sale folks (with Green09 code free shipping). Tink Crocs come in green and blue.

hahaha I was a sucker with the care bear That dang tooth fairy for dropping the tooth down her throat when she was only trying to help! hahaha Georgia gets a $1 for each tooth she has lost so this was number 3 so $3! Man.... when did teeth get so pricey?! The kids in her class get the upwards of $10 and Wii games and lots of stuff. I am so glad my kid is happy with chump change. hahaha

You did a great job on both of these. Your little girl is so lucky and I am sure that she will be beautiful in both. For the cord I would just tie a knot in the end and if you don't want it to fray at all I would add a bit of glue or fray block.

 

[bear_mom]

Those would match my DD outfit perfectly too! Where did you find them? Do they come in regular girls sizes or just toddler?

Thanks Tifani! I'm charging camera batteries now to take a few pics of them.

I got them from the clearance section of Crocs.com. They only had girls sizes left, all the toddler ones were gone. These are the size 1/3.

I ordered before the free shipping code was out there , it was expensive too (at least the shoes were on clearance). Can't wear them here either. At least it did make from 17 degrees to 40 degrees today. Older sister got a pair of the Minni Mary Jane Crocs in pink. ETA: I ordered them on the 4th and they shipped on the 6th, so shipping took a loooong time.

I'm trying to figure out what to give Aisling...we are wiggling so I need to get prepared. Her BFF, who is 2 years older, gets $20 a tooth...um, not in my house! What kind of inflation is that? I got a quarter and was happy with that!!!

When my kids lose a tooth they get a $1 coin. We call it a "Golden Dollar" and they only really see them when the tooth fairy brings them so that makes them special! Although sometimes when you are at Disneyland or Disneyworld and Tink is the tooth fairy, she might just bring a paper dollar for fun! The tooth fairy would go broke if she brought more than that, I have a lot of kids with a lot of teeth!

Ya, I think I'm going to stick with the $1. Were do you get all the $1 coins? Does the bank give them if you ask?

$20 !!! Yikes, that's expensive!


I had to get a new sewing machine a few weeks back. I bought a janome and have been very happy. I made a great discovery today (helps that I read the instruction manual today) - my machine has a serging foot and stitch! It is so cool.

I usually put a lego in Dallas' basket now. When he was younger I always did summer things. Chalk, bubbles, baseball bat, roller skates and the like. Swim stuff. His birthday is 2 days after christmas so this was the perfect opportunity to give him everything he would need for summer.

He also got a vsmile game or two some easters and leapfrog books. I have way too big of stash of toys that I hardly paid anything for and I find it so hard to find a time to give it to him. I try not to spend alot but I try to always put a toy. I didn't like candy as a kid and don't like it much better now so I always enjoyed the 1 toy (a strawberry shortcake doll) I got. Later on it was baseball cards which my brother and I loved!

Last year he wanted a BIG chocolate bunny so i bought him one this year (even though it will all pretty much get trashed). I only spent $3.50 on it and he'll be doing the when he sees it!

Oh! His first easter he got Little Tikes trucks. One was a dump truck and I used that as the basket!

I am doing a AG basket this year. Morgan can't have chocolate or Jellybeans, so I am going with stuff she really wants LOL. I had originally considered doing a "movie basket" but the AG things kind of came together LOL

I am not big on the whole candy thing either (although they do get a chocolate bunny and some jelly beans - most of it doesn't get eaten though). But if you haven't noticed, Disney always releases movies in time for Easter and Christmas. So this year since I have three girls I am dividing them up......Grace (5 1/2) is getting Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Claire (3 1/2) will be getting Bolt after it comes out (which is before Easter), and Lilly (8 months and could care less but we have to get her something) is getting Pinocchio. I would be buying these movies anyway so I just save them for Easter.

Really like the idea of the AG Easter themed baskets! I'm going to have to remember that!

I try to do things OTHER than candy in the kids baskets, they always get a new tooth brush, last year they each got a new webkinz, one year I put MR Potato head with a bunch of accessories hidden in eggs for easter egg hunt. Another year I gave them books, well a wagon filled with books, This year I am thinking of doing a book club/membership where they will get a book each month, or a magazine, so it goes all year not just that day. I'm not sure tho. I usually put little things in it too, from $ store or Targets $ spot, hair/dress up stuff for my DD and cars/dragons/legos for my boys.

I never have put candy in Georgia's basket. She doesn't do well with sugar (or candy) so I just don't do it. She gets lots of little dollar tree things. She always gets a Stuff bunny with the year on its foot. socks, tooth brush, hair stuff, a barbie (if its on sale) fun little Easter type notebooks and crayons or pens, Sometimes I will fill plastic eggs with jewelry or sugar free fruit snacks. bubbles, jump ropes, playing cards, Little things that are not costly so in a few weeks when all is forgotten about it can get tossed. hahaha

This year she might get a DS game and a few little Dollar tree things and her bunny.

Usually a DVD, a Webkinz.....stuff ike that. And they don't get chocolate. My son couldn't have it, and one of my dds doesn't like it. I usually get them a Wonka Scrambled egg instead. It's filled with nerds, runts, Laffy Taffy etc....

If I'm feeling particularly ambitious, I'll sew the girls a dress or something too....

Ths year, they'll get some Disney Dollars...

Easter Baskets:

Last year we bought dd some of the linking rings and put into her basket, as well as a board book, toddler spoons (was just learning how to feed herself), and a bunny from Hallmark that says My First Easter on its shirt. This year she's getting three stuffed bunnies (the same except for color), a Snow White Barbie (I take the shoes, etc off before she plays with them-this child already has a huge love for Barbie dolls-runs for them when we go down toy aisles for buying birthday gifts, etc) and we'll probably put Bolt into her basket, as well. Candy wise, she's getting a sleeve of Peeps and that will be it.

I usually do some books and maybe a movie or a video game or even a toy they really want. My mom usually gets them Bunny Big Ears because it is a joke with her and I . When I was little I always got him because my mom ALWAYS eat the ears off my bunnies! She usually gets them either a toy but this yr Nik is so into clothes my guess is she will get her an outfit either from the Disney Store or Justice. George's family usually only does toys. Yeah I know sounds like Christmas on Easter. It kind of is. Though this yrs Easter is going to pale in comparison to last yr. Because my kids where in WDW with their Aunties being spoiled rotten!
I think I go a bit over board with Easter because it was the last holiday I had with my daddy ad this yr Easter falls on the anniversary of his passing.

Thanks everyone for your wonderful suggestions when it comes to Easter baskets. I got some great ideas now!!! Yippeee!!!

Minnie2 - so sorry about your Dad! Big hugs to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Dr. Suess top was so cute, it really looked like something bought in a boutique!

Oh my gosh...THANK YOU so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's DD9 AK outfit. The fabric I used for the appliques matches a shirt I already have that I made to wear last trip. This is a mother/daughter trip only and she is ok with being all matchy.


They are not quite capri length, more board shorts length. I'm a little concerned about it being too hot for August, but will bring along last years custom in case. This was too cute of an idea to pass up.

I second this

I second third and fourth this

Peach's tooth came out last night in her sleep.... She woke me up this morning before the alarm went off. Started off like this...

Peach: Mom..Mom.. hey mommy
ME: Yes pumpkin butt
Peach: I had a really strange dream last night
ME: you did? what was it about
Peach: Well....I was playing with my tooth, and I was watching Space Buddies, Isn't it funny that I was watching in my dream but never seen it in real life, mom, isn't that funny
ME: Yes silly girl, thats funny
Peach: MOM! don't call me that
ME: ok..
Peach: so in my dream I was watching the movie and I fell asleep with my pillows like this (like a chair) and I was sucking my thumb and THEN all of the sudden MY TOOTH CAME OUT!!! I woke up and I was lookin for it, and couldn't find it. Oh dear, Mom you know what happen in my dream??
ME: what happen?
Peach: I SWALLOWED IT!
ME: No... really, how funny.
Peach: MOM... LOOK LOOK! My tooth is GONE. Its totally GONE mom! and guess what?
ME: what Peachykins
Peach: I really did SWALLOW my tooth!

Isn't that just the cutest!? Then we had to have the discussion on where the tooth goes... try having that convo to a kid who didn't get we just can't um clean it up when we find it! hahaha

She told my cousin that the tooth fairy was trying to pull it out probably and dropped it down her throat! hahaha oh man too cute. So here are the pictures

Her trying to eat breakfast

and of course the tooth fairy gift and note card. She leaves notes with money. ANd this time a little carebear because she felt bad about "dropping the tooth"

That is the cutest and funniest tooth fairy story ever!!!!

[Adi12982]

I CASED the K off someone. I'm not sure who, I never could figure it out. I hope they don't mind.

I am pretty sure it was something LisaZoe had on one of her customs, but there were other things on her's (I think I remember a tink face applique).

For a 10 year old, and to not make it look like jammies, I would do Denim with some of the tink fabric cuffs.
