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

[jeniamt]

I have a Brother PE-700II that was (still is) $799. That is pretty cheap for one with a 5 x 7 hoop. You are welcome to come up to Towson and try it out!

WHAT???? I didin't know you lived so close! My dad grew up in Towson. So exciting to know my sewing hero is my neighbor

Thanks for the offer... I'll let you know. I'm going to do some online research.

Made a Simply Sweet with a halter back for the first time. It is for my little cousin who lives in another city, so I will try to get a pic of her wearing it once she receives it. This style is very hard to get a good pic of without a model. Tyler DS7, said he would model, but we could not get it on him. He is too big.

Not real proud of my ruffling, but I guess from afar it looks OK, and besides if you are looking at it that close when the child is wearing it, 'You are too close", right ladies?

CUTE!

I got the new Joanns sale circular in the mail yesterday. On Wednesday May 6 at all stores they are having a senior citizen discount day. 15% off the total purchase, includes sale priced items, too. I already called my mom to drag her over to the super Joanns with me next week.

Have a great day everyone !!! Now I must get off the computer and get to work !!!

humm how mad would my mom be if I asked her to get some stuff for me!

Clutterbug adorable pics!

Yes! That is awesome that you have a blind stitch foot! The machine shop owner actually suggested one of those as a possibility, but thought I might use the Ditch Quilting foot more down the road if I ever get time to quilt!

I wish I saw that machine when I was looking so I could have a bigger hoop but I do love my machines features so I will have to wait for a bigger hoop for a few yrs

cool i can't wait to try out that foot! I figure try what I have and if it doesn't work I will have to get the other foot!

So let me ask you... can you type a name on your computer using the Walt (Disney) font and have your machine sew it? And what if the name is longer than 4 inches? My kids have some long names!

Sorry no disney font... I wish! If the name is bigger I either shrink the size to fit OR re hoop... No biggie

I am LOVING all of the baby pictures posted on here!! I understand it's hard for those that don't have kids. I know how that feels, believe me. It took 5 years to get pregnant for the first time. Then, I lost the baby. I worked at my mom's day care and was also a nanny. So, I was around a lot of babies and kids. I actually think that made it easier for me at the time.

That being said, I have to share some pictures of my little sweeties, too.

Tessa and Sawyer the day we brought Sawyer home from the hospital and "Where's Sawyer?":

My favorite baby picture of Sawyer at 2 months(I took it myself with my cheapie digital camera) and Sawyer at 10 months:

Tessa at 6 months with Pooh and at her first birthday party. I think she likes the doll!

Tessa at 2 years old and at 3 years old, wearing the Raggedy Anne and Andy nightgown that Teresa bought for me when we were little!

Here's the first picture I ever posted of Sawyer on this thread, almost 2 years ago. It was also my first applique, however pitiful:

Lydia and Tessa in the first outfits I ever made (besides Corey's disasterous pants). Tessa just wore this dress to school last week! Wow, my house is messy in that picture! Yes, that's Tessa's real hair. We put it up in rag curls and it got REALLy curly!

ADULT SIZE EASY FIT PANTS
When I was browsing the other day I remember someone looking for Carla's Easy Fit Pants in adult sizes. I stumbled upon Simplicity It's So Easy pattern 9871 at Walmart a while back and it totally fits the bill!! The instructions are a bit different, but the pattern is a single piece and you can sew them up just like the Easy fits. I've made 2 pairs of PJ pants for DH, a pair of fleece PJ pants for me and I just made myself a pair of capri length PJ pants with it. I love that pattern!

I meant to post this the other day and forgot. I've used Butterick 5044. They come in one pattern piece (with additional pieces to make pockets if you want) and the pattern goes up to size 22. You can make shorter shorts, walking shorts, capris, & pants. I used the pattern for the pieces and used Carla's instructions to put them together.

While I was looking at old pictures, I came across these two pictures. I think I was in the kitchen making dinner and realized that it was getting too quiet..so I checked on the kids, and this is what Kirsten had done..she got a hold of a Sharpie and decided to paint hers and her brother's nail, and according ot her, she was writing some letters on her legs and Peyton's legs!

This is sooooo something my kids would do. It seems like I have to scrub pens and markers off their legs daily.

Okay, now I'm drooling...

Anyone else????

That is so cute!

I must go find this pattern!!! Thanks for the heads up.

All of the kiddo pics are adorable!!! I think I may get to sew again this weekend! We were supposed to go to Dallas for a bmx race but they've closed the schools due to the swine er H1N1 flu and have closed the bmx track and cancelled all school activities. Our school here locally has banned all school related activities that involve traveling to the infected districts. It's getting crazy here in TX. I went to walmart last night on my way home to find hand sanitizer for jaz to take to school. After looking through the entire store.....I found 2 lonely bottles sitting in the baby dept. There were NO other bottles in the whole store!

 

[teresajoy]

Such CUTE kids!!! I love all the pictures!!!!

This picture is absolutely adorable...I think is one of the cutest pictures I have seen in a long time...Her expression is priceless!

Aww, thank you!!!!

How is that baby suspended from Buzz and Mickey? Its freakn' me out Did you photoshop someone out?

I know!!! I had to check to make sure it was Photoshopped too!!!

Okay, now I'm drooling...

Anyone else????

OOOOOH!!!!!

THANK GOODNESS!!!!! I am SO glad your SON could not fit into the dress!!! I think I might just add that to the rules!!! No BOYS in dresses or skirts! Right along with no swirly faced kids, that scares me!

The dress looks adorable!!! You did a great job!

Mom told me how pretty Tessa's hair was the other day!!!! Gorgeous!!!

I can't believe how big our babies are getting!

I love the baby with in the circle with the dolls. That is so adorable.

And I think the ruffles look great on the simply sweet halter dress. I'm so excited because I'm going to buy that pattern this weekend. I'd been putting it off because I had to go buy printer ink That stuff costs a fortune.

I also love the scrapbook pages! I scrapbook too!

 

[bclydia]

Can't get caught up right now. So please excuse the drive-by post!!
Yesterday hubby decided we should go to Disneyland next week when friends will be there. So, I spent most of last night trying to find airfare and hotel rooms for the 7 of us. I did it! but that now means I have to pack for the seven of us and get everything ready before Sunday. And, Eleora is off to Spark camp until Sunday so I need to pack for her too. Oh my, I may have bitten off more than I can handle!
So, no time for customs or even fun shirts but Mickey, here we come!
Anyone in Disneyland this coming week?

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

My DH just called and asked when we are coming home from WDW...I told him and then he said Oh no! I asked what...he had commited to a safety program that day! WHAT? I mean come on...I have had the dates for this trip since at least Sept! I bet I talk about it daily...what park when...what day we leave....I may have to hit him! I told him no way will we be home...he has to make other plans! Ugh! And as I was sitting here getting all my stuff printed for my notebook...I love doing that...I get so exctied!

Please don't tell anyone else I said can! I am frequently getting on my children about "may."

I am thinking about making a sundress for my daughter to wear when we eat dinner w/ Cindy & family at 1900 Park Fare. She's not a huge Cindy fan, SB is her favorite and I am a novice when it comes to sewing. Anyway, I was just going to make a simple light blue sundress similar to a pillowcase dress. I saw one on ebay. It just had elastic around the top and then ribbon/fabric attached at center front that ties around the neck. I am probably over thinking this but could it possibly be this simple: a tube with elastic? Has anyone ever made one?

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Yes, it can be that simple! I don't have girls but I know many do here. I think there is a simple and easy pillowcase dress pattern on YCMT or is there a link for free one on the first page.

I know a few others will chime in to help you quickly.

Another drive by poster here. I have been sick all week. I am tired of being sick. I missed a fun trip to Disneyland with my sister and all of her family. I may have to miss The Wizard Of Oz tomorrow. Can you tell I am sick of being sick?

All the baby pictures are too cute! I will have to dig around in photobucket for some of my DGD's!

The outfits are all adorable! Everyone here is so talented.

Prayers for those who need them.

For the person coming to disneyland next week, if I am better, I would love to meet up at Disneyland! Its only 30 minutes away! My DD might bring my DGD up on Thursday afternoon as they missed the fun times at Disneyland this week too. With everyone being sick, she didn't want to bring the 9 month old baby. So poor little Miss Kadie missed a trip to Disneyland too.

Sewing questions are always answered here! Thats just what we do!

It is really that simple! I believe it was Jeanne or JHAM that posted the instructions for this, so they are probably in the bookmarks. The link to the bookmarks is in the very first post.

WOW! I've been missing a lot. Just can't seem to keep up these days. SO much to do. This week I was sewing pirate themed shorts for DS and coordinating skirts for his 2 step sisters. That I gotta tell ya was a PITA...all I had were measurements that their mom took and I didn't trust them at all, they just seemed OFF. NOONE got to try them on before the cruise so I'm keeping my fingers crossed they all fit.

Sunday I'm gonna work on some prefold diapers (organic bamboo velour and organic bamboo french terry...yummy!!)

I have so much coming up. some sewing projects (including my entire diaper stash) my baby shower (yay!)along w/ a baby shower every other weekend of the month except 1 and that's the weekend I get to meet up w/ Teresajoy!!! Classes at the birthing center...

The next 9 weeks are gonna FLY by!!!I'm so excited today!
