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

[emcreative]

I wanted to post pics of the Minnie dot dress and ds's mickey bowling shirt. I couldn't post before our trip because I didn't finish them until the night before we left.

Thank so much Jenny (Enchanted Princess) for the minnie dot fabric! I'm super happy with the dress! The bowling shirt is less than perfect. My machine kept messing up the button holes. UGH. It's so undependable!! But, I did figure out why the placket on the last shirt I did was too long! I forgot to cut the pattern piece to the right size. OOPS!

Adorable! And I love the bowling shirt! I must find something like that in toddler/infant

(now I know why all my friends with sons whined when I got my first girl 12 years ago...then another...then another. I love my little guys but it's hard to dress them!)

Hey Brook- oh yeah, its swelling, its actually not as bad as my first PG, but weight is weight. Oh yeah, Im doing it all- water, water, water, low salt, low fat (well most of the time) plenty of greens and asparagus and all the other stuff my CNMs suggest. But I still have 55lbs to lose. But last time I had close to 80lbs to lose by the time I had the baby!!!
my BP is usually like 108-110 over 65-70- so really low.
Adi- Im a "fluffy" girl too- actually Im big boned, really. DH's wrist bones are half the size of mine.....I was somehow cursed with these prehistoric thick bones, from some relatives in my past apparently (this is what my parents say, I keep asking if Im adopted, or if the milkman was my father), both my parents are little people and so is my brother- with a high metabolism- NOT ME. But I know I can lose it again- if I can lose 80, I can lose 55.

I should post "before" and "after" pics from last time. I got to be VERY large. i weighed around 250 and dropped down to 165

Hi Guys,

A month or so ago I posted this itty bitty dress and the baby rag quilt - well, this picture is of the REAL THING!! Baby Julia!!! I think she is about 7 weeks old!!

My Make a Wish package is finished!! The Disney Dogs shirt for Joseph, and Disney Cats shirt for Abbigail - plus a pink bow and a pooh bow (Im not good at bows, do you think these re okay to send?)

this bow

to go with this story book twirl...

Aww baby cuteness!!! What a sweetie!

I love the designs on the shirts!

Hmm, if anyone ever needs help with that let me know, it's one thing I CAN do!

As far as baby weight, I did the water retention thing too..but usually within 2 weeks of giving birth I'd end up weighing less than BEFORE I got pregnant! The weight always found me again, though..drat!

My hubby knows the "am I adopted" feel...well he was adopted by his dad but his mom is his biomom. His mom and sister are like 5'2 like me...I don't know if his sis even weighs 100 lbs..and hubby is 6'6 and a solid 300 lbs! I always think from far away I must look like a little kid holding his hand! Every family picture has my hubby at least a foot taller than everyone else.

Hmm, Brook, I don't think I could get my husband and inlaws to extend their vacation...I can see it now.."But, but...we HAVE to! I have too many customs for only FIVE days!" hehe!

As it is right now we'll be at HS on Monday, MK on Tuesday, Epcot on Wednesday, Thursday split between HS (50's primetime)/LaNouba (OMG CIRQUE OUTFITS I MUST FIND SOME!)/LeCellier for ONLY The Husband and me, and then Friday I have no clue after Ohana breakfast!

Kara, that's too cute!

Glad you think I'm funny

You look so adorable, though I know you are in so much pain. . . I am a "big girl" (thick, chunky, whatever you want to call it) to begin with and I just look fatter at this point (at least I think so), not like all the skinny people looking all preggo. I was sort of annoyed the other day at the maternity center. There were three other women there that are due in October (one was a student midwife). . .anyhow, they has their cute little baby bumps and here I am just looking fat. . . I didn't know how to feel. I guess it is this whole first time thing, but geeze. . . I know once I look it I'll regret wanting to because it won't be comfy, but some days I can't wait to look like you do now!! I know, you must think I'm losing it

Now. . . where to get maternity clothes in "plus" sizes (14 and up) . . . I am so mad at Lane Bryant for not selling it anymore (though their regular stuff is too expensive unles son sale, I'm a target/old navy on sale/walmart kind of girl usually), and I hate buying stuff blindly offline. . . ugh.

I know that some malls have a JCPenny's maternity store. I got clothes there when I was PG with Jenna. They still have one here in our mall. I think it is succeeding here, because it is the only shop like it in this whole darn town.

Googled some stores for you in Miami.

This is Motherhood Maternity and they have a plus size selection and they have a lot of locations in your area.

Some of these others are a bit more price wise.

The bowling shirt comes in toddler/infant. I made it for my DGS when he was 8 months old, I made a 6 month size. (DGS is small) It is CarlaC's Bowling Shirt from YouCanMakeThis.com.

I think I have heard of ladies doing that on her and then mailing home their dirty clothes. What a great idea that was.

Dirty stinky BOY sneakers as well

LOL This is where I remind you my husband's computer is right next to mine, and if he sees me wanting to ship boxes of clothes out for a 5 day trip, he'll hyperventilate!

Hmm, I need another project, but I'm guessing it's probably too soon to design the 2010 princess dress, huh?

He who don't know wont hurt him.
He will probly think you are the smartest woman alive just think of the air fair youll save when checking baggage. (mind you I have never been to the world and never had to fly with 5 days work of customs for 5 kids.) but I have heard its not cheap.
