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

[lovesdumbo]

If you have an extra prayers/positive thoughts, would you mind sending some my way? I know it's not as big an issue as many people have, that's why I only want the extras...

I thought I was just getting tired because of everything I was doing for the trip...then I thought maybe it was stress...but I think I have to face the fact I'm having a Lupus/Fibro Flare. This is horrible and almost the worst possible timing. Please give me strength to fend this off, or at least be done with it in time to finish packing and get on our trip!!!

I'm so sorry! Hope you bounce back quickly.

I noticed alot of you joined CutFromtheSameCloth yahoo group. Are you all looking for that castle amusement partk fabric? It isn't there. I asked Judy about getting it, and she couldn't find it.
Are you guys interested in the Cinderella(or whichever princess it is) japanese that she has posted in the photos? We could get a second bolt if so. I think the first bolt is full.

i may be interested in this fabric, but I can not find it to look. Any suggestions??? And ladies, how are we going to find the group buy with the fabulous castle fabric??????? Any ideas? I am willing to spend some time looking online, but I have no idea where to start looking for the group buy! UGH!

I finished a few more projects! First I made a memory board with left-over Jennifer P. fabrics! You can put cards or pictures or whatever in the ribbon...

and the back

More big news, at least for me. I was having difficulty embroidering with my new machine. So this weekend I went to a Janome dealer and bought a bunch of stuff...I got specific needles for embroidery, a thread holder that holds and feeds the thread from the cone to the machine evenly (it was a BIG DEAL!!!) and I also got some more stablizer. I learned I had to turn the pressure dial and speed down. And the biggy was that I got special bobbin thread. OK with all of those changes....IT WORKED PERFECTLY!!!! No more thread breakage and bobbin thread showing thru...it was amazing.

So I finished my DD4's Provincial Belle Dress. I made an eyelet slip and put Belle herself on the apron...get ready for too many Brooklyns!!!

Big Twirl...

So here are the separate pieces...

Thanks for looking! We are getting ready for Disney slowly!!

Those are not the ones. Goofy was in Boxer shorts that had hidden mickeys embroidered on them. I will see if I can find the post. I am sooo bad at that. But I will try.

I PM'd you the link.

 

[Adi12982]

It's sent.

And I'm sorry, I am so far behind on things here. Congrats on your baby girl, she looks BEAUTIFUL!

(Please forgive me everyone who's good news and great creations I've missed)

THANK YOU!!! And no need to apologize at all!

 

[2cutekidz]

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not long ago someone posted a Goofy Vader shirt. It was SOOOOOO cool. I am working on Star Wars designs for our trip. I can't find the design. I thought it was a Stitch on Time design. WRONG!!!!! PLEASE help me find this design. Thank you ladies and Tom in advance.

It's one of Dena's designs. Her etsy ID is DigitalbyDesign, and it's on the "other site" now too - search TFG Boutique and you'll find it.

Oh no! I am sending you big prayers, positive thoughts and vibes, and anything else I can think of. I am sorry that you are going through this now. When we adopted our first dd I got mono while in China getting her. Nothing is worse than being home with a 10 month old and not being able to do anything. Adopting should be a joyous occasion and not marred by any illness. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and hoping that you have a wonderful trip full of joy and celebration.

Our first family trip to Disney 11/1-11/5 Shhh! It's a secret.

I have this sewing machine and I just bought the ped basic software from joann. I was able to use a 40% off coupon, so it came out to about 60 dollars. I haven't used it yet, so I can't comment on that, but hopefuly I'll be able to use it soon.

ooohh, was that joanns online or in store???

Hello everyone!!!
I'm still on vacation in Ontario and will be heading home tomorrow. I found a couple of "finds" in the fabric store here and just had to share.
I found snow white fabric!! I think it's from a few years ago. It's dark blue with vivid colours and features the wicked witch and the dwarves.
I also got a bambi fabric with bambi and thumper. Pastel background.
Finally, I got Veggie Tales Christmas Nativity fabric. My children have the nativity toys and I have no idea what I'll make with it, but I just HAD to have it!!
I will post photos when I get home but wanted to share my excitement with people who would understand!
Can't possibly catch up on all the pages in the last 2 weeks. I'll have to skim when I get back.
Hope you're all well!!!

I got that veggietale fabric on a trip too! I found it at a Hobby Lobby in Houston, TX!!! lol!!

WOW you people are BUSY!LOl I can't keep up!

Mirandag819-LOVE LOVE LOVE the dessert outfit! Soo cute!

Pixeegrl- the 3 little pigs dress is ADORABLE!

Jenb1023_ That is sooo cute! Love the matching set! I have that same fabric and am just saving it for something!LOL

Rymer- Love your Cindy work dress! So adorable!

I know there were others, but I just skimmed to try and catch up! I have been working on sets for our trip in October and did almost finished the Tink set. I just need to attach Tink to the tank.

Really CUTE!!!! I have that same flower fabric - its so cute!! My Walmart fabric sections are really going away - I was at Turnersville today and its amost gone except for that funky off color fabric - someone was buying the green Big Bird and blue Zoe fabric today - lol!!

Hi girls! I've been away for awhile & really need to catch up on everyone's cute stuff!! It's been really crazy in our house for the last 6 weeks or so - we lost our chocolate lab at the age of 8. It was very unexpected & he was my first baby, so I'm still dealing with it. That was followed with my husband finding out he got cross leveled to another National Guard unit & he is now deploying for a year to the Middle East sometime late this summer. So....we moved our late Sept Disney trip up to early August! I'm SO not ready.....but, I've been sewing like crazy to get ready!! LOL

Here's some of what I've completed so far - Maddie's dress for Chef Mickey's - my first attempt at applique in a very long time:

Thanks for looking!

Your little princess is beautiful!!! So sorry about your doggie -

Oh boy - I hope you can take some time to rest so your flare goes away quickly!!

Oh my goodness - she looks ADORABLE in that!!! I cant believe how grown up Brooklyn is starting to look!! Love the bulletin board too - is that for you???

Thanks to all for your comments about Camp Promise ! It is truely a priviledge to serve those families - for some of those families it is their only respite for the year - to the parents/caregivers of kids in general and kids with special needs!! A full time job for sure!!!

I was in Walmart tonight and found the blue dalmation fabric that some of you were making things with a week or two ago for $1.50 a yard!!! Woo-hoo! They also had pink dalmation fabric so of course I had to get that too!

On a frustrating note, I was looking for character pillowcases tonight for a dress I am making and I went to Walmart and Target and they had none - not even a place on the shelves for pillowcases. They only had sheet sets for ALL characters! Are you not able to buy character pillowcases anymore?!?!

Here's some of what I've completed so far - Maddie's dress for Chef Mickey's - my first attempt at applique in a very long time:

The outfits and your DD are just gorgeous. One question. For the Simply Sweet did you use the Empire or Normal waist. I am going to make one in about that size for a friend who is having a baby and have not made one that small. Just wondering what works best for a child that age. Thanks.

I cannot love on the things you are all posting enough! I really really liked the cutie Tink tank and the Wishes dessert outfits. (Not that I didn't love everything else, but I'd love to CASE those two if I thought I was up to it.)

I made something semi-girly for my Cars-loving girl for her to wear when we go to DHS and she gets to see Lightning and Mater again.

(Woah, the red contrast fabric matches the red in the firetruck and Lightning McQueen much better in person than in the pictures! It does match, trust me!)

I also made a pretty simple Tink outfit for one of our visits to MK on the upcoming trip, one in which we will hopefully make it through the line to meet the fairies at Pixie Hollow!

It's much simpler stuff than a lot of you are making, but I hope my girl loves it anyway!

I also just got myself a Brother 900D with some gift money and I'm so excited now that I've started using it. All the bobbin issues I had to contend with on my old machine are GONE, and I'm starting to gather some embroidery files to use once I get to the fabric store to buy some solid-color fabric so the designs are more visible. It's only a 4x4 hoop but it's exciting nonetheless!

(I must really be excited. Look how I'm abusing the exclamation point.)

Have a great day, all! <-- See, there I go again.

That stuff is great. I was quite a tomboy myself, and prob. wouldn't have even worn the Tink one. But it looks as though she loves them.

Darla made her a Bo Peep costume last year.

Speaking of Darla the wedding was beautiful yesterday....

Notice someone missing?? There was also supposed to be a Cinderella flower girl but the day came and she was not going to put the dress on.

Darla made all of the Bridesmaids dresses and the little girl dresses. She has more pictures on her facebook.

Great wedding picture. The dresses look gorgeous. Before I read what you had written, I was thinking..... wasn't there supposed to be 3 little dresses. That is too bad. Fussy little child.

I finished a few more projects! First I made a memory board with left-over Jennifer P. fabrics! You can put cards or pictures or whatever in the ribbon...

Great message board. Love the Belle. Brooklyn looks great.

 

[karamat]

Some time back someone was looking for the Loralie Happy Nurses fabric panel... well I found some this weekend. I stopped into a small quilt shop when I was out of town over the weekend and couldn't believe it when I found half a bolt of the fabric just sitting on the shelf! If anyone is still looking for it, send me a PM and I'll get you her phone number (she said she'd be happy to take a phone order and mail out the fabric.)

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

Emcreative- prayers being said- there is ALWAYS time for one more prayer and they are all important- you know God doesnt prioritize!

Adi- Congrats on finding out its a girl- I know I love looking at Hannah and thinking how I wanted a girl even before she was created. I'm so excited for you and hope the rest of your pregnancy goes quickly and smoothly and you get good sleep right up to the end!

Toadstool- if you think of your machine embroidered pieces- we go around the edge of the fabric with the stitch - the tight zig zag that creates color, and shine right? Well, he used MY enbroidered edges as his guide and sewed through them- youd be amazed at how much it shows and affects the look of the stitches in person, it makes them look wobbly and messy, and sometimes he can't even stay in my stitches and veres off to the left or right. Does that make sense? Wish I could take better pics.
He has parkinson's (spelling) but didnt say it would be be an issue, so I trusted he'd do a great job, about 2 years ago I had him do a panagram on a king size and he did a great job. But the last 2 years must have really affected his ability to do free hand sewing on a large machine.
I'm most sad for Hannah since this was her "first quilt" but I guess Ill just have to make another quilt some day (not the same quilt of course)

Oh and I found a shop not terribly far from me (30min) where the owner does heirloom- Im SO excited, I went for a visit today and there were little girl clothes everywhere (although no heirloom) But Im thrilled to find a place that teaches heirloom.


Darla/FairyGoodMother- we want more photos and more details on why this little girl wouldnt wear the dress- where was her Mommy? Why didnt someone just tell her to put it on and shush! The dresses look amazing! The bride looks fabulous! Can't wait for more photos!
Beautiful, beautiful job!

WOW you people are BUSY!LOl I can't keep up!

I know there were others, but I just skimmed to try and catch up! I have been working on sets for our trip in October and did almost finished the Tink set. I just need to attach Tink to the tank.

Love Tink; very cool color combo!

Here's some of what I've completed so far - Maddie's dress for Chef Mickey's - my first attempt at applique in a very long time:

A dress for Crystal Palace - the fabric has Pooh & Eeyore on it & I love the pink!

A Little Mermaid dress for our DHS day:

And, I finally finished this one yesterday - this McCall's pattern was SUCH a pain after using the great designs on YCMT, but I really wanted to make a few of these onesie/bubble outfits for her since I think they may be cooler in the heat of August. I'm working on another of these now with more Pooh fabric.

Thanks for looking!

I really love off of these; they are too cute! Will be praying for your DH when he deploys; enjoy your trip though!

If they had more of that pink dalmation fabric I would love some!!!! Was it $1.50 a yard too? I think TeresaJoy was looking for some of the blue dalmation fabric, I was going to spare her some in my stash but

I can pay you by paypal for the shipping and fabric!!!!
