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

[karamat]

Thanks for all the compliments on the Pieces of Mickey top!!

I LOVE this fabric - where did you get the sheet set??

From Disney Shopping a couple of years ago. I also bought the comforter to use on the twin bed in the guest room. DH was so confused that we would be using the comforter on the bed, but not the sheet set.

This might be a stupid questions, but wouldn't a scanner work to turn your photos into digital pictures? That's how I do it. They're pretty cheap. I paid about $30 for mine at Best Buy (it's also a printer).

Yeah - I've just never had a scanner that I didn't have to fight with every time I went to use it.

I love this! The body parts is my FAVORITE material. I think you shoudl go to the scrapbook section and find the mickey head buttons and use them. That would look awasome. Great job

GREAT IDEA!! I think I even have some of those buttons around here!

I warn you, reading the rest of this post will make you hungry!!

We're planning a Disney cruise for this August. We've signed up for their "Fish Extender" list. Does anyone have a pattern to make fish extenders? i'm pretty craft-challenged but would like to give it a try..! Thanks

Sorry to bother you all again - I have a question...

Some of you may remember my quest to find my size 7, 6 year old neice either a princess or tink rashguard from the disney store last year...well I thought I had things figured out, got her a gymboree rashguard set (which fit perfectly - thanks Cindee) but, then to get her something princessy, I ordered the cute hot pink and yellow swim suit with princesses on it in a size 8 - well, she tried it on, and the top was baggyish and she said the bottom part made her feel like she was getting a wedgie - and believe me, I dont like to see any cheeks hanging out~!!! soooo, what do I do now!! I really want her to have something Disney while she will wear it!! Im afraid of regular tankini's cause I dont want her belly hanging out - I am looking at the make your own rashgaurd on disneyshopping.com, but dont know what bottoms will match it!! anyone seen any bottoms anywhere that would match??? maybe lands end or ?????

THANKS!!!!!!!!

Of course I meant to measure all 3 of the kids this weekend but guess what!!!! grrr - next thing I knew i was back home again!!!!!!

If you go to the cruise forums and look around there is a thread about fish extenders and someone has the measurements of what works well. Can you tell I spend too much time on the cruise forums boards?

I think a FE should be pretty easy.

Crystal, it is for the disney cruises. There is a fish outside the door where the ship will leave a note if they must. Well, disboarders get together and form groups and send gifts to each other. The FE you hang from the fish and has pockets. Usually one for each person but not necessarily. You personalize it however you like. They are super cute!

Totally makes the outfit! Adorable!! I love it!!!

 

[Tinka_Belle]

Jessica thank you for the answer. I have never taken a cruise so I was quite confused. I did Google and this thread popped up:http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1219607 There are instructions on where to buy one and how to make one.

That dress turned out so cute Mindy!! I love her smile and wild hair. The panty covers were the perfect touch. I hate it when panties show too.

 

[jessica52877]

Love the tink outfit! I can barely see the bottoms but do see them peeking out. I think it is perfect!

Wendy - Sorry, no advice on the swimsuit buying. The pictures of the kids were adorable though. I loved how all 3 of them were in front of that sign. Too bad Tim couldn't quite do a handstand!

That shelter website was really enlightening. I think I would enjoy making some pillowcases for them. Thanks for posting it.
HEATHER is the one they redid anywhere near you? It said Pontiac, MI.

I had more to say but don't remember. I didn't even remember to post this even until after I had posted the previous post! Guess it is bedtime.

I do have the directions somewhere... I am working on the same thing. I printed them out but of course can't find them now. My problem is I am stuck at the pocket phase b/c I wanted to embroider our names on the pockets... harder than I thought.


Here are the basics... you don't want the FE to be wider than 8 inches. Cut each pocket 11 inches wide which will give you enough room for the pleats. I need 6 pockets so their finished dimension will 5.5 inches tall each (I'll cut them about 6.6 inches tall).

Cut your main fabric 8 inches wide by the length you need (be sure to leave room at the top to make the casing for the dowel. I plan to sandwich two fabrics between heavy interfacing. Turn top of pockets and finish with a quarter inch seam. Turn under and press bottom of pockets and arrange pockets on main fabric. Baste 2 sides to attach pockets to main fabric. Pleat bottoms of each pocket, sew to attach bottom of pockets to main fabric. Turn casing at top for dowel. Attach binding around perimeter of entire FE to finish all exposed seams.

If that seems confusing and you can wait a little while, I'll take photos of the process while I'm constructing mine. I actually have 4 to make for our family and friends!

As always I love all the new things I see. There is soo much talent on this board.

I need a pattern for a cap for my sister. She starts a very powerful chemo on Tuesday. It is called Adriamycin aka "the red devil". One of the side effects is hair loss. This is my "big" sister (she's really smaller than me but is 14 years older). I love her dearly and and I am so worried about her. She has breast cancer and has just had a mastectomy and reconstruction. This chemo is so strong that she had to have a heart test to see if her heart was strong enough to take it.

I was always a Daddy's girl, kinda a tom boy who never worries a lot about how my hair or makeup looked. My sister is just the opposite. She always wears her hair and makeup just so. I know it is worrying her that her hair is going to fall out. She plans to buy a good wig but I though maybe I could make her some caps or scarfs (or both) to wear around the house or any time she doesn't want the wig on. Louisiana is hot and humid in the summer and a wig might not always be comfortable.

Has anyone here ever made such a hat? Do you have or know of a good pattern? It needs to maybe come lower down on the head to cover more.
If anyone can help I will be very grateful.

Prayers for my sister would also be wonderful.

Thanks,

Penny

Hi Penny - lots of prayers and hugs headed your way. hopefully since they decided that she was strong enough for that "devil" she will handle it like a champ!!!! We are here for ya! Keep us up to date!!

Penny, I'm going to send up some prayers for your sister, as well as light a candle tonight.

When my mom had brain surgery what she used the most of were bandana scarfs. The ends were cut down to make "ties" and the were the coolest and most comfortable thing for her.
