Disboutiquers Part 13 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[jessica52877]

I have given Dallas Claritin and it seems to do nothing for him (also tried the generic brands). I don't think I have tried Zyrtec yet but I usually just give him Benedryl before going outside or to school. That seems to work best but it doesn't make him sleepy or hyper like I know it does lots of others.

Parents of kiddos with allergies: I've done the Zyrtec thing and didn't love it either. We have found the Benedryl Allergy/Sinus works for Aisling's allergy headaches BUT it knocks her out. She's going to camp in June and we are trying to figure out what to give her. I'm going to try Alavert (which is the exact same thing as Claritin)...has anyone tried either for their kiddos?

I haven't tried the over the counter stuff for my dd due to other med. she is on but she takes Singulair 4 months out of the year and I love it, no noticeable side affects at all. We did Zyrtec also, and hated it.

I love the buzz shirt! Where did you find the fabric? I'm going to head out fabric shopping this weekend! The trip is closing in and I need to get moving.

I got the fabric at Joanns quite a while ago. Wish I had bought more!

That outfit is so cute. and those two are adorable!

That came out GREAT! Soo cute and I love the pic of them together! So Sweet!

The dress is cute but not as cute as the 2 of them hugging! I love brother sister moments like that!!!!!

Cute skirt! Love the Buzz shirt too!

Thanks everyone. Don't let that picture of them hugging each other fool you...they can be nice to each other, and be sweet to each other but they also fight over toys, and scream at each other a lot!

I love your Vida Easter dresses!!!

Wow..I love the Sleeping Beauty dress...and the bright colors!

Love Thomas...my ds loves THomas!!

OK, 7 is definately an improvement on 17 or whatever I drove in on last time...thanks for leaving the lights on! I am going to go back and read everything now....just wanted to say....


Its Spring Break!!!!!

Enjoy your Spring Break! My kids already had theirs couple weeks ago.

They are going to love it! I love T-shirt dresses.

Beautiful dresses, and I love the fabric that you used for all of them!

If everyone could say prayers for Oklahoma! We are having some MAJOR fires going on and neighborhoods burning. There are alot of houses that have burned to the ground. We had a neighborhood evacuated and some didn't even get to make it home to get their pets. It's sad!

Saying a prayer for everyone there!

Hayleigh's newest dress for WDW.

I love that Pooh Bear fabric. I have never seen it before.

Ok, I am starting on the charmy euro skirt from you can make this. I need two charm packs for the skirt, now here is the stupid question, would you guys wash your charm packs first, I just hate the idea of washing and ironing 66 pieces of fabric. Thanks !!

I would say not to wash it. I bought some fat quarters, and threw them in the wash and by the time it was done, it was no longer fat quarters!! They edges all frayed, and the size was much smaller than fat quarters.

That is a cute bear outfit.

Very cute! Dd has been asking for matching outfits for her doll.

 

[livndisney]

Yep, EXACTLY like that! That is awesome. I don't know if I'm talented enough to just wing it, how hard was it?


This is a great idea! My Joann's has plastic Pooh table cloth material (just like a shower curtain) that I could make one out of. How hard was it to sew with the plastic?

The first one I made was "challenging" lots of trial and error.


I will say one of the big reasons I did not use plastic, is that plastic is not "forgiving" when you stich in the wrong place. If you have to tear out a seam the holes remain. Also I learned sewing on plastic is "hard" on the machine. I have made raincoats for the AG dolls and had to change needles after every one and oil quite a bit. It CAN be done, but it is quite different than sewing with fabric.

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh EXCITING STUFF..... We booked our accommodation yesterday - its all real now. We ARE going to Disneyland. I had this moment when I was on hold to Hojo's and they had some disney music and I almost cried. After I got off the phone I did a little excited dance and I had the girls dancing around with me yelling "woohoo we are going to disneyland " well Em just yelled woohoo but danced all the same So....if I'm good I should be starting to make some outfits for the trip.



I missed the move as been busy sewing pettiskirts. Will take some pictures later as just finished them last night.

Since I have DH home for a day or two over the easter break I might do some sewing for my girls. I'm thinking Easy fit pants and maybe a portrait peasant top. And if I'm really motivated I might sew up some merino raglan tops since it's coming into winter now and we are really noticing the chill factor.


Now time to catch up and see what all you lovely ladies have been up to.

Hi all...just a quick note...it is about to strom here...I HATE storms...anyway...allergies...

Poor Patrick, my middle baby is a walking allergy! He was born with terrible exzema and we still firght it now. When he was about 5 he developed allergies. I am a no medicine type of girl...weird that way! But when we moved in 2007 it nearly killed me to watch him suffer. We tried to stay with just the benedryl...wiped him out (it does me too) so we went to the doctor. He started him on zyrtek...yes he was a different kid...but it was not a bad type...it was GREAT! He had energy for the first time in forever. Then as the seasons changed we have had to adjust his meds. He now takes singulair, nasonex and zyrtek (store brand). He gets a cough medicine in the first month of serious pollen becuse his mucus gets so thick. But now, he is great! He only takes the meds for about 4 months out of the year and when we go visit my parents in the winter (they have wood heat and a cat). And, his exzema is getting better...my doctor and I both agree that the meds help him a ton.

I do feel for anybody watching a little one battle these things...it breaks my heart to see him suffer and he really is a grump when it is bothering him.

I haven't tried the over the counter stuff for my dd due to other med. she is on but she takes Singulair 4 months out of the year and I love it, no noticeable side affects at all. We did Zyrtec also, and hated it.

I am obviously a lot older than all your kiddos, but I have pretty crazy fall allergies that I developed when I was 13. I went through the Claritin and Allegra and over the counter, which all worked for a while, but now the only thing that works for me is Flonase (or whatever type you take through your nose). It usually clears me right up and even takes care of the itchy eyes. Sometimes I only have to take it for a few days and I am good for the season. I will say that sometimes I get a bit of a sore throat from drainage, but never bad. Of course, I have no idea if or at what age you can give this type of med, but maybe it's worth a shot. Good luck!!

I take flonase too...and you are right I get a slight sore throat after I take it, but it works.

 

[lovesdumbo]

Here's the doll dress I finished for dd last night. I used the scrap material from one of the skirts I'd made for her during our Nov trip.

So cute!

Wendy, Here you go. Please tell me if you want me to change the drop shadow colour or the picture in the J. I will fix it to what you want.

Thanks for the practice!

How cute!

Cute! I bet she LOVES it!

My DS is 20 months old and has been on Flonase for about a year, so it can be given to infants. He has exzema, environmental allergies, and asthma poor guy! We've found the Flonase helps a ton and we haven't seen any real side effects.

Ooh, Flonase is helping with his environemental allergies? May I ask what specifically he is allergic too?

Hi Everyone,

Question for those who purchase girls swim suits....

1. How do the Gymboree rashguard suits fit? Elizabeth is a solid 6x - 53lbs, maybe a little taller than average....I saw some of the rashguard tankini suits on ebay, and was wondering if they provide full coverage (no showing belly) or run big or run small?????

2. Any chance that ANYONE has found the purple princess rash guard from the Disney store from last year in a medium?????

Thanks, Wendy

Morgan is tall and thin and the Gymboree rashguards fit her loosely. She HATES her belly to show. I bought her size 8. She is 49 inches tall (all leg and torso) and weights 45 pounds.

 

[PrincessKell]

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I didn't get to finish Georgia's Easter dress her dad was here early to pick her up, and I am watching my room mates daughter and spent so much time correcting her behaviors this morning. Im so upset about it! OH well... Im gonna finish it, I asked him if he would meet me somewhere tomorrow so she can have it.

and my darn needle broke on me again! Ok back to sewing... Vent over

 

[SallyfromDE]

Yep, EXACTLY like that! That is awesome. I don't know if I'm talented enough to just wing it, how hard was it?


The pattern I used was set up for snaps, so no alterations. I did just take the snap tape up the legs. If you end up hating snap tape (I do), I've used regular snaps, but you have to double up the fabric and I always put interfacing between the layers.


This is a great idea! My Joann's has plastic Pooh table cloth material (just like a shower curtain) that I could make one out of. How hard was it to sew with the plastic?

It's not easy, but there are a few things we do that helps. If your making a seam, you can using seam binding to cover it, then the foot doesn't drag on the plastic. The other thing is to put a sheet of tissue paper between the foot and the plastic. I think you can use a walking foot, but it leaves marks on the plastic.

Hope this helps.

Cindee - thank you so much - do the bottoms stay up well on Morgan? Elizabeth does mostly ocean swimming where the waves are knocking her around.....Im thinking i should do an 8 if you did an 8?????? Thanks so much!!! I dont know if Elizabeth likes her belly to show or not, but Aunt Wendy DOES NOT!!!!!!

The bottoms are loose- I just run a seam on the sides-takes 2 minutes LOL
