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

[MinnieVanMom]

Ok friends,

I know when to call it quits. I am quoting the wrong things and not getting pictures.

We have been going to DS new evaluation that is only 3 hours RT and that isn't the hard part it is the emotional roller coaster of new evaluation. We do like the new psy and she really listened to us about DS. She took her time with him today and then spent time with me. Good news / Bad news, his DX is autism. That is good because we will be able to get funding for the services. The bad news, his DX is autism. Nothing new but I still hate hearing it.

Good evening ladies and Tom.

I had to notice the magazine is for sensory. Do you know someone with a sensory disorder? We are looking into a clinic in Denver

Yes, my oldest daughter, age 12, has SPD (among other things). She was diagnosed when she was 6 but we knew way before that something was "different" (I think since she was born!) We did OT and a lot of sensory stuff with her to get her through school, including Willbarger brushing. She went from falling behind, almost failing and special education to leaving the sped program and getting all A's and 1 B in "regular" classes. She's a bit of an advocate now herself and sometimes writes with me.

(Those are my three daughters summer of '07)
We wrote this article together about ways to make Disney more enjoyable for sensory kids (I donate my services to this magazine so I'm not bringing up anything I earn money from).
I know it can be hard to see something like a diagnosis in black and white. It will be okay though, I promise! It has it's unique challenges, but the rewards are that much more awesome!

Sorry about the separate posts.

If you guys have it in your heart to say a prayer or keep positive thoughts today. for George. His company is doing lay offs today. He doesn't think he will be one of them but you never know.

On a positive note this past weekend Nikki had her basketball cheer party and the coaches gave us copies of some pictures they had taken. I really like the 2 of Nikki!

For those of you who have FB you can see the other ones with her 2 BFF's. I adore those pictures! The 3 of them where insuperable for football and basketball. I am partial but frankly I also think they where the 3 best cheerleaders on the squads!!!!!!

Nikki is a very beautiful girl, and very photogenic.

Praying for George's job.

I haven't posted this in awhile, but was this the dress you were looking for....

So, since I am coming out of lurk mode, I thought I'd share what I have been up to. None of it is Disney though.

Easter dresses for my girls....

Earth Day...

I also have a few things currently in progress (Disney stuff). I can't wait to share them with ya'll.

I have been busy, and haven't been able to really even lurk much. However, I have liked everything I've seen. Ya'll have been doing some amazing work.

Everything is really cute, but seriously, I wish I were young enough to wear the top one myself!!!

Soooo many cute things lately. I just skimmed since I had about 30 pages of catch up, but love Nikki's new photos and the Earth Day shirt.
I think we were still talking about clothes from India when I was last on. I went to my uncle's wedding on Saturday evening, and wore a salwar kameez. Here's a photo of myself, my dd Violet (half Indian), my new aunt Vicki, and my brother:

You are beautiful and so is your daughter. I love the sari. Is it your daughter on your brother's tie?

Hi everyone, I see I am way behind on here. Will have to catch up later as I am also behind on my sewing list. Spent yesterday ripping out side seams in pants I sewed wrong. Hope to post those pics tomorrow. Hope everyong is doing well. Here is the first outfit for DD 7.

Very cute! I like the saying you put on the pants too.

Lori, I love the dresses. Now, for the next part to make sense you have to know I'm a photographer. This is my little one for a couple things I did:

Your daughter is adorable!

OMG.......

I just got off the phone with one of my best friends and she told me that the manager to her apt complex who we see alot since we do spend a lot of time there. His son was just killed in a car accident.... His wife is still in the hopsital and they are not sure if she will survive. I couldn't even move from my kitchen when she told me. I Just wanted to go wake Georgia up from her nap and hug her. Just so shocking. We just saw him on Sunday playing. Poor family! I can't even beggin to think about what that would be like.

How terribly sad.

I know exactly how you feel. It will make it easier to get services for him.

We did the Willbarger brushing and a lot of other SI therapy too, and it made such a difference in DS's quality of life.

Hi Everone!

Love the pictures of the cute kids and outfits!! Wow, lots of ruffles out there!!!Pictures of Nikki are so cute! Lydia is adorable as usual!!

April, will be praying for you guys as you work on Hunter's program - wishing for the best!

Guess what - Daniel's PT was working with him today WITHOUT THE WALKER!!!! Im so excited for him - she still had to hold onto him cause he is still wobbly(ataxic) but woo hoo - thats a step in the right direction!! Im really upset that they arent using the Interactive Metronome Program with him yet - its so hard, cause I cant really say anything since I work in the same place as his rehab therapists!! But its an AMAZING Program and I think he would benefit so much!!! Grrrr - any advice on how to handle this?

I was also wondering what is the one fabric you continue to look for hoping to find some day????? This is my quest....

I want to see what everyone else is dreaming of!!

May I share, please? This was in our local (read: small-town) paper today...you know, the paper that only prints once a week. I don't mind posting with photos because they're finished with school and not in that city anymore

See my ticker? I need friends over for a sewing marathon!

Flower girl shoes. This may be a crazy out there kinda idea but I'm looking at options. LOL DD is wearing a floor length black and white dress. Would it look silly if I got her a pair of white flip flops and wrapped them with ribbon and but a flower on the top? Would it be dressy enough or should I just shell out the $$ for dress shoes that she'll only wear once. LOL trying to be frugal. Dunno if it's gonna work

I found the white satin ballet shoes that my sister just insited DD have for her wedding at www.dancewearsolutions.com for less than $20 shipped.


I got my embroidery machine toady and it is up and running!!!
I have only done a name so far, but i got it running!!! I got a thread breakage error several times before I figured out that you really do need that spool guide they said to use!

Just got some at Hancock's a few weeks ago for the quilt I'm doing for my girls (if I ever get all of the fabric that is). Next time I go I'll look for you Wendy! Any certain yardage you need/want?

Lori, love everything you make! Would you please share how you make the ruffle on the bottom of the dress? Are you using a serger? I tried something like this with my serger and it didn't look nearly as good. Plus, are you finishing the bottom of the dress and then adding the ruffle? Thanks!

Okay, need some help... I need the Minnie version of this Captain Mickey. She could be his first mate... but how would I do that? In case you are wondering what this is, its the applique still stuck to the teflon iron thingy. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Oh no, how awful for that poor family, can't even imagine what all he's going through. =(

Good evening ladies and Tom.

I'm glad that you have a diagnosis now, and it does give you somewhere to really start now as far as treatment/services/knowing how to help him. ((Hugs))

Hooray! Your dd is lovely, and I bet the wedding will be fantastic.

Nikki is a very beautiful girl, and very photogenic.



You are beautiful and so is your daughter. I love the sari. Is it your daughter on your brother's tie?

Lol, yes, that IS my dd on his tie, good eye.

One bridesmaid's dress finished!

this pattern:

became this dress:

This is my 12yo trying it on...it's so funny on her. It only zips up halfway. She's a little larger than the bridesmaid
It will have an ivory sash, to tie in with the flower girls who will be in ivory and white brocade princess dresses.


so...so far so good, I guess. Thanks for asking!

I know how hard today must have been for you. We've been there. I'm here if you need to talk. Remember, it will be o.k., even when it isn't.

Lori, love everything you make! Would you please share how you make the ruffle on the bottom of the dress? Are you using a serger? I tried something like this with my serger and it didn't look nearly as good. Plus, are you finishing the bottom of the dress and then adding the ruffle? Thanks!

What about doing a navy type "bucket" hat w/ a big minnie dot bow? Or the old army hat style a little off to one side?

yes I do finish the hem on the bottom of the dress and then I add that ruffle straight on top.... I roll hem using the serger the sides of the ruffle then I gather it in the center, then I attach to the dress......
Thank you so much....
I really enjoyed making it, there is more close ups of the dresses if you check out my id in my siggy.

I did a Google Image search for "Princess Tiana" and found it on the cinemablend.com site. Here's the link:

https://www.theribbonretreat.com/custom/modules/FreeProjects/PDFHowtoMakeKorkerRibbonandBows.pdf

These are some good ones, too-

The current "disney dress" for Princess Tiana (from disneyblog.com):

This is the "Costume Craze" version of the Tiana dress:

psst...Disney is doing "Rapunzel" in 2010!!!

I might not be able to sew...but if any of you need help researching, I'm your gal!

Oh wow.. thanks for the beautiful pictures. I definitely want to make an outfit for this!!!

Mine too. Or in other words, it looks like I am one happy woman around here.

Haha.. yes I am very happy too.

Lori, you sure are burnin it up girl! The dresses are lovely and she is adorable.



I had to notice the magazine is for sensory. Do you know someone with a sensory disorder? We are looking into a clinic in Denver

I don't know much about the sensory disorder stuff, but have you seen the seller on ebay that sells all these neat things for sensory disorder? I was looking at the swings she has. They are just so neat. Expensive... but neat.

Wow! That looks sooo pretty!! Is that a bubble hem?? I need to learn how to do that. So classy looking! Those girls are so lucky!
