Disboutiquers Part 15 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[my*2*angels]

AHHH - it all makes sense now - thanks for taking the time to explain it.

Glad I could help! I usually stink at explaining things!

FANTASTIC!!! That is so exciting!!!

Biodad Mac gets SO mad when I use that term. LOL

Wait...you're supposed to be off having the T-Baby, what are you doing on the computer?!?!? (And aren't you SICK of people bugging about whether you've had the baby yet or not?)

I only use that term because, sadly, that's really what he is. He only makes 33% of the scheduled visits with the kids. He's over $1k behind in child support because he took time off work for a TUMMY TUCK. And for Hannah's birthday (he actually SAW her on that day), he didn't even make her a card let alone get her a gift or even make her dinner or a cake (she got to pick if they went through the McD's or BK drive through...so stupid!)

Not that I'm cranky or bitter or anything... But my husband is their dad.

Wait He had a Tummy Tuck?

 

[PrincessKell]

Yes, that's what I use. It's pretty easy to peel an applique off a tee once the stitching is removed. Usualls enough 'stick' left that I don't need to put more fusible on to move to another tee. I first thought of moving an applique when I made a 100th day of school tee for Zoe. I didn't like to think of all the work that went into something worn just once. I actually ended up putting it on a tee that she'd just about outgrown, too, so I didn't feel like I was 'wasting' a tee. Yup, I'm that cheap.

Oh, speaking of the tee, I thought it came out really cute. Zoe liked my letter 'monsters' that I'd done on tees and asked if they could be more girly. I added the crowns with jewels, eyelashes, 'lipstick' and nail/claw polish and we were good.

I always did love your 'monster' letters and the fancy girlie ones are soo darn cute!

Thanks Kell! I just had a lump that my dr wanted to be sure was OK. He seems to think it is COMPLETELY fine, but his motto is better safe than sorry! It was just a little bigger than he anticipated so hence the 10 staples!

Gladhe thinks its completely fine. I had to have a lumpectomy when Georgia was about a year old, however, I didnt have to have ten staples though. that will leave a nice little scar. I do have a pretty scar though. hahaha I hope that things are fine and any results that come back (if were tested) come back negative.

Yes.

I did buttonholes on my new machine!!!! (Ok the machine was new a few months ago and I finally got brave enough to try it!)

I made Morgan a dress awhile ago and never really loved it. So I took it apart and made a top and skirt. I made "lace" with the scalloped edge on my machine and closed the back with button!!!!!

Hopefully I can get some pics posted tomorrow.

 

[PrincessKell]

You are all in the know and I figured that someone here would know where to direct me.

I need a Mickey Halloween iron on made for a tshirt?

Sometimes you can find them at Joann's. Or you could find some on etsy, or . I bet you could probably find someone here that does applique and PM them if you like something they do.

I feel ya on that one. My ex has only been gone a little over a year and only paid probably a total of three months worth of support and that is spread out. he didnt see Peach the first four to five months he was gone and now he doesn't even call her during the week, and see her on a regular bases like he was for a moment in time. Which is super hard on my Peachy baby. Just when she gets used to going with him on the weekend and calling he stops... and then its total emotional breakdown. Its so hard on her. SO I do everything I can for this sweet Peach.

But its so great that they have a positive man in their life that is their dad. Its so important, and its totally awesome when men are so open and caring and take children in as their own. I know one day I will find that.. but for now, its me and my kiddobean and Im ok with that.

And um... I can't believe he had a tummy tuck?!?!

I feel you, I tried buttons on the girls princess tops last year they look plain pitiful I havnt even attempted a zipper.

I am looking for a getaway for this weekend and I am coming up short all the way around.

Well I finally got my pictures downloaded from vacation. Here is one of DH and me.

 

[HeatherSue]

....

Those are both SO cute!! I have a little bit of that Spongebob fabric!

That is FABULOUS, Lisa! I can't wait to make one of these!!

oooh OMG hang some coins off one of these and it's Esmaralda!

I know where you can get a machine applique of a cutie Esmerelda for a matching shirt!

Hi there! The on-gain, off-again poster is back! I haven't been sewing, but need to get my butt in gear. Our trip is in 117 days and the way I sew, I should have started 4 months ago!!!

I need to get caught up, a few quick glimpses though and I see you are all hard at work making some awesome stuff!!!

Have you seen the October Dismeet thread? It looks like you'll be there at the same time as some of the other Disboutiquers!

Yay!! Is this your first buttonhole? If so, I can't believe it! I do need my Morgan fix, so you better post some pictures tomorrow!

Kathy, you two are so cute!

That is cute! I wish I had a way to get your designs from my computer to my machine. Being limited to 4" x 4" I know I'd have fewer options but I really want to expand my options for embroidery. I was thinking, though, that it would be fun to have my monster letters digitized small enough to do a full name on a tee or a bit larger for down a pant leg. Of course I'd first need to complete the monster alphabet.

 

[livndisney]

First buttonhole on this machine. I go to extreme measures to not have to do button holes. It took me like 10 miniutes to do three. So I see more button holes in my future LOL

ok, I have to share. Morgan has been a little ummmm "difficult" (Yes HeatherSue I KNOW you have a hard time believeing that). But being sick and some adoption stuff has made her not such a fun person. Anyway, I posted a few days ago the Dalmation necklace I made. I gave it to her today and told her to put it in away. She asked if she could try it on. LOL And then wore it until bedtime. I just peeked in on her....... she hung it from her mirror so it is the first thing she sees in the morning.

 

[t-beri]

No Baby news?

Wait...you're supposed to be off having the T-Baby, what are you doing on the computer?!?!? (And aren't you SICK of people bugging about whether you've had the baby yet or not?)

Not that I'm cranky or bitter or anything... But my husband is their dad.

NO, no news. Just hanging out contracting and waiting and walking and cleaning and contracting.

I am tired today though. Very tired. I am NOT so tired of people asking about the baby as I am of WAITING!!! I could've waited patiently NOT in labor but this early labor stuff is Killing me!! If I would've stayed w/ my OB I probably would have been induced already b/c he wanted to induce me a week early. But that is actually one of the reasons why I changed to a midwife. That and my utter disdain for the hospital here. And wanting to have a non invasive birth w/out all the fluorescent lights and beeping machines and such. I know it's all going to be worth it in the end but it is tiring me out LOL

I have GREAT news!!!!! THE Carla C is going to be in my neck of the woods this week and I can NOT wait to meet her!!! Of course that is if I am not in labor...and if I am she can still come visit(we usually have a bleacher section anyway) LOL. Of course I'm already worried about what Little will wear to meet her LOL.

Sorry Morgan's been struggling!

Totally coming on here to vent a little........

My Mother-In-Law called this weekend and asks me if my DH told me about her diaper bags. What diaper bags??? Oh, she is sending me two diaper bags that she made and wants me to sell them for her on ebay. I'm kind of frustrated with this. First of all, I have three kids......where am I supposed to get the time to do this? She has a son and a daughter living in the same town as her, why send them to me 600+ miles away? And really, I guess it won't hurt me to do it for her (and since they are in the mail I have to do it). But truthfully, she usually doesn't have the best of taste so I am worried about her fabric combos. I am thinking of putting them on etsy but I've never sold on etsy before. Anyway, just annoyed. I know it's no big deal but for some reason it bugs me!

The second thing is my DH. We have discussed going away on vacation, just the two of us for a week in August. My parents have a home in Naples and that's probably where we are going to go. Anyway, at the beginning of the month my Mom ended up in the hospital with what they thought at the time was some heart problems. So we decided to put our vacation plans on hold since my parents were going to stay with our girls. Anyway, last week (after wearing a heart monitor since June 7th) the doctor decided what really caused my Mom to be sick was probably a virus since she had no blockage (she had a cardiac catheterization while in the hospital) and the heart monitor hadn't detected any abnormalities. So I talk to my parents tonight and they agree to come and watch the girls. Anyway, I'm talking to my DH on the phone tonight (he's once again traveling) and tell him that we can move forward with our plans. He says, he does't know now if he can, he's got stuff going on with work . Really frustrated since he was just supposed to put our plans on hold, not scrap them all together. And we haven't been on a vacation together in 7 years (by ourselves anyway, we've gone with the girls). So now I'm sure that our trip will be cancelled....

Sorry to vent!

Congratulations on the buttonholes! I was very intimidated at the thought of making them until late last year. I made 100+ coffee cup wraps in a few weeks and used a button as the closure. After making so many buttonholes in a short period of time, I got over my fear... mostly. I still have trouble getting them placed evenly at times. Oh, I also found out how easy it is to sew buttons on with my machine so now I look for buttons with holes through them rather than the kind on a shank like I used to prefer. Technology really can be a friend... if sometimes an uncooperative one.

I'm sorry Morgan had a rough time recently. It's so hard as a mom when these things happen. Zoe went through a rough patch in February about being so different than most of the others at school. One night at bedtime she started telling me that she didn't have any friends in school. I asked a few questions and eventually she said she felt like it was because she's African American. We talked a little as I tried to find out if there were any specific situations that made her feel that way. The next day was not a good one at school for Zoe and she was sent to the principal's office for her behavior (mostly, I think, because she hadn't slept well the night before). I let her teacher and the principal know what Zoe had told me so they could be aware to watch for any issues but I also learned to not have emotionally charged discussions with Zoe at bedtime. She is so much more likely to exaggerate a problem or situation. If she brings something up, I'll do what I can to comfort her but I don't get into serious discussions until the next day. By then she's usually able to put things into perspective so we can address what really is a problem.

I think that I'm going to throw away my DS Mickey pumpkin shirt. I just can't applique in small sport. I totally ruined his shirt. I think that I may just order him a Mickey Halloween shirt.

So sad. I had wanted to do a Marie appliq., all dreams & hopes gone.

Sorry about the pouting, but no one is home to listen. Just the sleeping 2yr old DD.

I'm sorry it's not going so well!

Thanks! Yes, it is HeatherSue's, I was so excited she agreed to make it! I love how her designs stitch out. She does such a great job! I had asked Claire to make them before Heather started digitizing, and she made the others, but couldn't come up with anything for Mickey's Hollywood Star....thankfully Heather came to the rescue! I wish she started digitizing sooner because I am sure she could have came up with something even better for the other hollywood pieces.

She is pretty amazing!

Hello my darling sister!

Never fear, my dear sister! I will try and make your ADRs!

YOU are the bestest sister in the whole world!!!

I'm currently working on a Vida style dress for a lady who decided after all the stress and trouble their family had gone through in the past year or more, she was going to start having some fun with what she wore in addition to what her 2 boys wore.

I love that!! Good for her!

back to page 11..........

Linnette, these are so cute!

I just finished the first 'official' sample using the pattern, cutting templates and measurements. Other than wishing the red of the net lace was closer to the red of the cotton prints, I'm very pleased with how well this came together.

Other than finishing the instructions, size samples and photos of the steps, I want to calculate the yardage needed. So far I've just been using remnants I have have in my stash so I haven't been paying attention to how much I use of each fabric.

Lisa, I just LOVE this skirt! Add me to the list of people who can't wait for it to come out. I would love if it came up to 19". I'm thinking this is a style even Arminda could wear.

Stopping in to say Hi! Miss you all but have been crazy busy. I can't keep up with every post. I have been only able to check in every few days. Will post pics of teacher's gifts that I made soon. Love the skirts, shirts and dresses!

I'm sorry her Dad is being such a jerk! She deserves better than that!

GORGEOUS!!! The scenery is nice too!
So, that must be the wonderful hubby I've heard so much about from my Mom and Heather!

I know where you can get a machine applique of a cutie Esmerelda for a matching shirt!

I HATE when people ask me to sell things for them on Ebay!!! I HATE it!! I don't like listing my OWN stuff much less for other people! So, I would find that EXTREMELY irritating too!

And, I'm so sorry about your trip! I hope things work out so you can go!

I was sitting here trying to think of the last time Brian and I went somewhere overnight without a kid. I'm not sure we ever have since we've had kids. Well, unless you count when I was in the hospital having a baby. But, I don't think that counts, does it?

I decided to totally do what I keep talking about and have FUN FLUFFY clothes for our upcoming trip- and Hubby is playing along (as long as the shirt is black, lol!)! I thought you all might get a chuckle about what we're wearing to the parks! (I did not sew the clothes, and thank you Heather Sue for your AWESOME appliques!!)
