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

[mickimousemama]

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!

We must have the same tooth fairy that leaves "Goldent Dollars", when my middle son lost his very first tooth I had NO CLUE it was even loose, we were driving on our way to the cabin, and I was frantically trying to figure out where I was going to find a Gold Dollar this late at night LOL, luckily I asked at the gas station we stopped at and they had ONE.

The only time our tooth fairy brought anything different was when my oldest lost a tooth on his golden birthday at Disney, he got $100 Disney dollars, which really was what we were going to give him that day but decided to have the magic tooth fairy deliver it since it was such a special moment. My middle son wants to know what he'll get if he looses a tooth on HIS golden birthday, I said well hunny you'll be 25 so I'm just going to guess a nice dentist bill

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

I agree with this idea. For a 10 year old, I would stick to denim or white capris. It will look super cute!

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.

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.

Now THAT is amazing, truly beautiful. Love it!

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

See, I'd be afraid of my kid being overly rewarded for losing teeth-I can just picture some kid knocking out a permanent tooth (on accident) in anticipation of a super nice reward.

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!!!

Yeah that sounds about right around here. one day Georgia came home last year and told me that her friend lost her first tooth and the Tooth Fairy got her a new tooth brush, and $15 plus a new barbie and a movie. I was like DANG! I want that tooth fairy. Another this year got a brand new $50 bill! FOR A TOOTH, a boy in her class got an Ipod...

WOW...that was lucky the gas station had them! Oh that is funny stuff about the nice dentist bill!

 

[Trena]

I am looking for a pattern to make the blue dress that Wendy Darling wears in Peter Pan. My DD is 12, and tall. She would wear a size 14/16 or maybe a little larger by Halloween.

any advice would be appreciated

Long time lurker here. I love what everyone creates and this thread is what inspires me to do whatever little sewing I do do.

Anyway, I'm in the middle of making a notebook computer case and am working on my first applique (Thank you HeatherSue for the great tutorial). I'm currently debating about what color to stitch around the white. From reading through here and the tutorial, I know typically its suggested to use the same color thread. But, I was wondering what you all thought of using brown for an accent to tie into the background fabric. I've attached a couple pics with a tiny sample of the brown I did on scrap fabric. Just really wanted opinions of the experts out there!!! Thanks for any input you might have.

and a closer look:

If it were me, I would have done white around the flower and brown on the center of the flower, just because that is what the flower looks like on the fabric.

I love your golden princess dress. The ties you can know, and you might try some fraycheck on that. Depending on what trim you use, it can use different tactics. Like fraycheck or even if you heat it to seal it.

 

[HeatherSue]

I have been busy again. But, I want you all to know I haven't dropped off the face of the earth! I made a couple of aprons this week for my SIL and my other SIL's friend. They have both had breast cancer. My SIL's friend is currently going through radiation. I made them out of breast cancer awareness fabric from WalMart and embroidered "I'm a survivor" with their name under it. But, I didn't get pictures.

I just love how the wings make the K! Very clever!

Still mulling what I might do for my girls. My dd15 says "Don't do it Mom. You'll start something but won't finish it!" Sigh. My reputation procedes me.

Hey, you can have her help you!! The little smarty-pants!

Morgan looks so BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!! I just love that girl!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MORGAN!!!!

Anyway- because he's so little, he doesn't eat a lot of candy (I'm planing on that changing petty dang soon though!)

You're my kind of Grandma!!

OOOH Jessica...............

Guess what they have at WDW now................

"Lego" Castle, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, The Pooh Ride and I think another one

Oh my gosh, those sound so cool!!

hello Everyone... Ithas been at least a week since I was on here.... I was so busy etc from sewing and life... But I am going on a quick vacation for spring break to exciting Tucson AZ. But it is sun and lots of pool time...
here is what I was working on!

Very cute! I especially like the Spongebob outfit. I like how you made it sort of understated for an older girl. I also love the crazy kitties dress!

That girl just warms my heart! She is so stinkin' cute! I love how you call her "Pumpkin Butt". I used to call Tessa that when she was little- Punkin butt.

bear_mom: I lost your pictures in my multi-quote. But, I wanted to say all of the twirl skirts and a-line tops are really cute!!

I never thought about long waistedness before. Is that even a word?

But anyway, I can safely say I DO NOT have that problem! But, my DNiece passes her swimsuits to my girls and the straps are always all stretched out so we usually don't end up using them. Major wardrobe malfunction! I'll suggest to her to check out the long torsoed ones!There I go making up my own words again! (No, I'm not a good Scrabble player.)

Have a great day everyone!!

You were cracking me up with your post! First making up words and then admitting you're not a good Scrablle player! You're my kind of girl!

Thank you for saying you liked my tutorial! I would go with white for the flower. It's much more forgiving if you use the same color. But, I also agree that if you go over it twice with the brown, it would look good.

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?

I vote for either denim or white capris with a cuff out of coordinating fabric. Or, an applique on the leg.

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.
*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!

Okay, what is a golden birthday? I think of 50 because that's a golden anniversary. But, I imagine that pretty dress wasn't for a 50 year old!

She doesn't even know that Disney World sells candy

But her mommy knows!!!

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

We don't do a ton of candy around here, we still have some candy laying around from Halloween. This year they're each getting a few DVDs (Disney Movie Club had a great special going) and maybe a little bit of candy. Last year they each got sand buckets and tools, which was great because those toys got hard core use all summer long.

The last of my customs for our upcoming trip:

Dd #2's Tink:

Lastly, our countdown calendar . I wanted to redo it because the Micky heads aren't straight, but dh said it was fine and to leave it.

Thanks for looking,
Emily

All the outfits are great. I love the Tink and I think your countdown calendar is fantastic. I want to put up a countdown calendar, but my DH thinks 190 days is too soon, silly man!

[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Cindee, your little girl is growing up. Do you think Jord is being replaced?

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.

...t.

This is so funny because both of my boys do have lovies, but because I am the meanest mom ever, the lovies DO NOT leave the bed/crib (I'm really not that mean, we just made the rule when the Isaac was tiny and now it doesn't even occur to the boys that lovies could leave the crib/bed). My nephew has a lovie that travels with him everywhere and it is a nightmare!

I like the brown thread, but I'm too chicken to applique, so I don't know if that's a great idea from a technical standpoint.

These are both great, but the golden princess dress is amazing! Fantastic job!

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!!!

$20 for a lost tooth, I don't think so! I remember getting a quarter and being thrilled.

We must have the same tooth fairy that leaves "Goldent Dollars", when my middle son lost his very first tooth I had NO CLUE it was even loose, we were driving on our way to the cabin, and I was frantically trying to figure out where I was going to find a Gold Dollar this late at night LOL, luckily I asked at the gas station we stopped at and they had ONE.

WOW! I definitely think I am going to need to see this one modeled! Very beautiful and your little girl has some good taste picking out her bling! What an awesome Mommy she has!

 

[2manyprincesses]

Who knew the Tooth Fairy had such cool handwriting!?!?

I'm in shame here b/c our tooth fairy always forgets and I always have to "help her out" I usually front Becca her $ the morning after the TF was supposed to come and then she pays me back. I have to say she's pretty good about it though!

 

[PrincessKell]

Irish luck that is! hahaha OH man I am too much today.

I am going to try my hand at applique this weekend! My very first! I am gonna do a Shamrock for a St. Patty's day shirt for my roomies dd who doesn't like skirts. so I am gonna do pants and a shirt for her to wear to preschool. Then I am gonna try a Mickey head for the Peach

 

[minnie2]

Thank you- she had a really great day-

The sets I saw were about 25.00. The Castle one was REALLLY cute!!!!

Oh cool they are reasonable! I hope they have them in November!

The last of my customs for our upcoming trip:

Dd#2's Minnie:

Dd #2's Tink:

Dd #1's Ariel (no, I did not make the Ariel)

Something quick I whipped up using the pre-shirred fabric from JoAnns:

Lastly, our countdown calendar . I wanted to redo it because the Micky heads aren't straight, but dh said it was fine and to leave it.

$20 Can they adopt me I could loose a few teeth for $20

We usually give $3 for the 1st toot then $2 for each additional tooth oh I mean the Toothfairy gives it!

Oh funny thing about the tooth fair. If you guys remember the pick I posted with Kyle and Nik meeting Tink at the DVC event. Well the whole time we where on line he kept saying ' I don't believe in fairies except the tooth fairy' The kid was covering his butt just in case!!!!

HAS ANY ONE MADE THE RUFFLED UP DRESS?????

 

[lovesdumbo]

Would you believe she did not spend one cent? She had a list of things she wanted. But I guess the "pressure" got to her and she could not choose.

Poor kid! I think I'll take a lesson from her and decide what I'm going to get before the actual day.

here is what I was working on!

WOW! You've been busy! Love them all-especially the tropical fabrics!

She's so cute! Your tooth fairy is so cool!!!!

The last of my customs for our upcoming trip:

Dd#2's Minnie:

Love everything! That Minnie is my fav! Love your countdown! And I've got to say you are so good to have them done over a month out. I'm going right after you and I haven't started yet.

Love the AK outfit and the golden princess dress. I just got back from a mother/DD trip with my DD(9). I'm going with just DS(8) in May and DD(7th bday) in Jan 2010. Our family trips are wonderful but the one on one trips are very special.

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!!!

Crazy! I got a roll of $1 coins at Citizens.

The only time our tooth fairy brought anything different was when my oldest lost a tooth on his golden birthday at Disney, he got $100 Disney dollars, which really was what we were going to give him that day but decided to have the magic tooth fairy deliver it since it was such a special moment.

Insane!!!! AND...nowhere near as cool as Georgia's tooth fairy's special note!!!!!

 

[Jajone]

I started out multiquoting everyone who commented on the gold dress, but I was overwhelmed with compliments. Thanks you, thank you everyone. I've never gotten sooo many comments before. I think the colors really make the dress. The gold fabric I bought at Hancock in the Christmas section. It's really a beautiful embossed fabric. I am very sorry, but I can not remember who helped with the top. Someone posted a similar style on here a while back and I asked about it. That person directed me to YCMT, but also said if you can shir, you don;t really need the pattern. So, that is what I did. Lots of measuring and cutting. Why didn't I even think about tying it?

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!

We did the same thing. Don't start too big or you will be in over your head.

For a 10 year old, and to not make it look like jammies, I would do Denim with some of the tink fabric cuffs.[/QUOTE]
OK, I'm convinced, demin it is. I was just hoping to use up what I had.

 

[livndisney]

I KILLED my machine!!!! Seized up ALLLLLLLL the insides. I am so not happy. I am in the middle of making a big give. I had to switch machines and use a machine I am not used to and everything is taking twice as long.

Hi! It was me who helped you out. I am glad I did! It came out stunning! Just beautiful! If anyone needs some help just PM me and I'll give you some quick tips on making the top. Like she said, I told her, if you know how to shir, it's pretty easy after that. Again beautiful job!
