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

[minnie2]

Marlo, I think the pattern says to measure the head of the child but that doesn't mean it's the size the hat is intended to be. I've made maybe 5 or 6 of those and the problem with the sizing had nothing to do with which pattern size I used. On the seams to connect the triangle pieces if you vary even a millimeter on each seam, the whole hat is a different size. I've taken to sewing the top part, erring on the large side, and putting that on a head to see how it's coming out, then if it is too big, I just take in the bottom part of my seams a tiny bit (like where the band goes around). Did that make any sense?



Yay Sally! I'm glad they got it all out and she woke up quick from the anesthesia! I'm sure grandma will spoil her!

Thanks! I get what youa re say and it sounds easy enough to fix if it is too big but with a head measurement on 20 should I make a large or an extra large..... I love how cute this hat is but I am scared to make it!

Prayers for you family.
and to Sally. Praying for her tomorrow.
and a pair of cropped pants for DD from the stretch denim I got from the remnant rack. I added some decorative cording..or what ever you want to call it. I think it turned out pretty cute.

I think I might be addicted to that Easy Fit pattern.

I made Lily a pair of pants a couple of days ago and they look exactly like this! Except for the cute trim. Lils are plain.

I think, and I could be wrong but I'm too lazy to go research it, I did a large for Marenna and her head measured 19 1/2". I put a piece of elastic in the back of the band and it was still a teeny bit big I think (I tried it on Lily who has the same size head). So what I'm saying here is you'd probably be fine with the large. Just make sure you don't make your seam allowance too big. It is much easier to take it in than let it out. (before you put the band on)

Oh, and since I've come out of lurkdom, YAY for my new Ticker! I'm going to Disneyland! With Heathersue!!! and we will have at least as much fun as all you going to Disneyworld in October! It will be a bicoastal meet!

Wow, you are all talkative this week, I was just on here and had to catch up by 10 pages.


Ok Ladies and Tom, I know I am new on here but I need some serious help, I am having a freak out moment My husband called from work today and told me to figure out how soon we can go to Disney cause he needs a vacation. First you don't need to tell me twice but we leave on May 9th, yes that is 23 days away! What customs do I have time to do?? Need ideas for things that don't take too long to complete. I have 2 girls 12 and 7. Any and all suggestions needed, Thanks!

Prayers to all who need them, Beth I hope all is OK.

To Jessesgirl: I have the same machine and haven't had any major issues, I dropped it soon after I got it and it seems to work better now, go figure. What problem are you having? My sil has the same machine and the only thing she has had a problem with is she had to fix the threader. I know other people hate it, but it works for now. After considering upgrading in order to do 5x7 I have decided to wait until I can get the Pr620, since I love doing embroidery that seems to make more sense for me.

I am from MD. About 1 hour northeast of Baltimore close to the Chesapeake Bay. Don't remember who else said they are from Balto., hey hon what part? I grew up in Parkville area.

I Love this one!

Oh Cute! I love the orange with it!

Hey all!!
Just wanted to say thanks so much for the prayers and good thoughts for Sally's surgery!

She came through the surgery like a soldier. Poor baby, lots more swelling this time but the surgeon got everything. She's in pain and just as grumpy as all get out, but she woke right up from the anesthesia. She's on her way to grandma's to convalesce!

thanks again for all the prayers. I know they helped!!

We will keep her in our prayers. Glad it went well.

Cool! Hey I have extra trim if you want it

if you click on any of my TRs and check out my older DDs customs, hers are usually quick and simple, skirts and capris with matching tees.

I'll take pictures when I finally get it finished. I still have a pile of stuff I'm trying to find a home for. My husband put new laminate flooring down, it turned out so pretty. My chair rolls around the room so easy now. I hated being on carpet in the old room.

We don't mind the pile of misfits! We have been waiting a LONG time for pictures!

The picture that t-beri posted with the little girl with the orange Minnie. How do you all know how to coordinate? I've never seen Minnie in orange before. How do so many of you know exactly how the characters are going to be dressed for your trips?

That was at Disneyland and they seem to go all out for the holidays! I LOVED DL in October! Oh no! Why am I typing that! I am NOT going to DL! I am NOT going to DL! I'll just keep repeating it!

Jeanne's are the cutest! ALWAYS! I think little Lily has alot to do with it and the fact that they are at DL!

I am NOT going to DL! I am NOT going to DL!

 

[jessica52877]

I feel so bad. Dallas is in the other room crying because he'll NEVER get to see Disney Channel again! See what cable does to kids! The darn kid only watched 1 show a day and didn't even always choose a show on that channel.

Over 1/2 our channels are gone saying we need a digital box. I have no idea why either! We are hooked up with cable for this exact reason! I finally gave in in December!

[SallyfromDE]

I know this is kind of a silly question...but I was just trying to get an idea of what state everyone was from? Thanks.

Delaware. About a half hour drive to Philadelphia. Home to our new VP, Joe Biden.

That's right, you ARE NOT going to Disneyland- you are coming to DisneyWORLD so Dallas can play with Jackson and Cooper.

Oh, and we are in Arkansas, Little Rock, to be exact. Wendy (100AcrePrincess) is in one of the suburbs here too.

[Eyore4Ever149]

I'm always around...just in lurker mode these days!!

Okay Disboutiquers...I have a quick request for prayers/good thoughts! My little step daughter is having surgery tomorrow,(Thursday), at 12:30pm East Coast time. It's nothing real big or life threatening but she is having general anesthesia and that always makes me nervous. She's having a cyst like thing removed from an area above her upper lip. You can't see it at all when you look at her, but it causes her to bite her lip a lot. We were told it should come out. She had surgery to have this thing removed for the second time last week. The first time she had this done two years ago the doctor doing it had no business doing that kind of surgery. At all. He admits this. He's not a surgeon. He said it was a quick in office "procedure". Not so much. He made a terrible mess of it, Sally had a post op infection and he didn't get all of it. We went to a plastic surgeon for this go round b/c the cyst had grown back. Apparently it's a very tricky little thing to get out. After the pathology report came back last week the surgeon discovered he didn't get all of it b/c some of the cyst was in the facial muscle. This makes the surgery much more complicated and poor Sally will have quite a bit more pain in recovery.

anyhow...I would appreciate any good thoughts and/or prayers. I love this little girl so much and it kills me that she is having to go through this a third time. My biggest prayer will be that the surgeon will get EVERYTHING and we can leave this behind us for good. This is a heck of a way for Sally to end her spring break, but she is being such a little soldier.

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated!

Prayers being said!!!!

Please don't say that!!! It's 40 weeks for a very good reason!! Take it from someone who knows too well. Sorry, I don't mean to get onto you, I know you're sore and tired but this makes me so sad to hear stuff like this.

Please keep in mind we all have our own experiences and I have been at the other end of hte spectrum of never starting labor and then being told my baby's not responding/heart rate isn't good and in fetal distress. 37 weeks is considered full term and my midwives have already instructed me to try natural induction methods at that time. I am sorry you had a negative experience with going very early, but I am not looking for anything that would put my baby in jepordy.


MouseTripper- I dont know what's going on, but I will absolutely be praying for you!!!!

HeatherSue- Hope you can fight off your cold!

I have to run, dinner is ready and I know there are others I wanted to post.


Oh- and I love ALICE!!!!!!! I knew it the moment I saw it! (you could go shorter, but only if you wanted to- it looks like Alice now- NICE JOB!!!)

 

[jessica52877]

What is your cable company saying???

I haven't called. Not high on my to do list. I am just puzzled over it. I assumed they got alot of calls today.

Poor Dallas. Such a rough night for a 6 yr old. I just mentioned going to the zoo on monday and the poor kid thought we were going to the San Diego Zoo and got all excited!

What kid thinks SD when their mother says zoo??? Obviously he has had a bit much in his life! To have a childhood like his!
