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

[mirandag819]

No, we thought it was so bland looking. It just didn't appeal to any of us. We had to walk a mile just to get to our rooms. And the food was lousy. We ended up doing alot of meals elsewhere because we didn't care for it. It was just alright. We stayed at Easter, and the brought in old Disney buses which were nasty. The seats were all torn with stuffing coming out. I was afraid to sit down.

My sister and her military hubby just stayed at Poly with the discount and used the free pass he got, and her ticket was $99 I think. They had a great time and loved the resort. She said they would have even preferred to stay at a value then go back to Shades.

Let us know how the plans go.

Yeah I think food and transportation are the two downfalls there, but we don't use either.... we always have ADRs for breakfast and dinner so we don't eat at the resort, and we have never used the busses. Plus we always request rooms in the new wing... they are a bit nicer and there isn't much of a walk to the lobby. We do valet and the van has always been ready and waiting for us when we get up front.

I really wanted to try the Poly.... and I am waiting for DH's, my mom, and my sister's feedback to make my decision.... it is just a BIG price difference. It would be $1050 for 2 rooms at SoG for the week. $3354 for 2 rooms at the Poly for the week (and that is if I can still get the 40% discount on a second room at the Poly).

It is great that his ticket is free and our's are only $125 (we are adding water parks and more option.... or they would only be $99)

QUESTION:When you are sewing on your appliques, what type of thread do you use - regular or machine embroidery?

 

[lori123]

Yes, I tried several variations of a google search, including vida tutorial, vida sew-a-long plus just scanning through a search for vida dress. Lots of examples of the completed dress but no tutorials. With Linette's photos and Leslie's instructions, I think this should be covered pretty well now.

I have use this in the past...

I finally finished the outfit I started back in the spring.. I needed it done so I can start on Disney outfits! So, here is my little ham posing her heart out.

:

This came out beautiful! What a precious pattern!

Can anyone tell me where I can find this pattern?

They had an R&R package, so my sister wanted to try that, since it was Easter week, she was trying to save some $$. Sean had just returned 2 days before (and it was really iffy, that he'd make it back). We had a great time, just disappointed in SoG.

Thank you to everyone who responded about the "Trick or treat" rhyme! I feel much better about my design idea. Now I just need to get my PC to cooperate to put the next step of the plan into action.

You should have posted your Vida instructions! They'd probably be much easier to understand than mine! I did mine sitting here off the top of my head, so I'm hoping I didn't skip any steps!

OHHHHH LISA...please post a link to your blog.....I loves me some blogs with tutorials!!!!

I'll definitely post once I have the blog started. I first need photos to go with them.

Leslie, I think your instructions are great.

If you don't
I don't care
I'll pull down your underwear!

I'd forgotten there was another verse! I think we did a slight variation on the 'underwear' line but I can't remember exactly what we said.

Yay! I got three things finished last night. I just love how fast the Simply Sweet goes together!

Those all came out great. I love the fabric on the skirt of the Belle dress.

I have use this in the past...

Those photos are helpful - and I love the fabric and embellishment they used for the dress. I know for me it helps to have both photos and written instructions. To bad I've forgotten my French (I think that's the language the instructions are in).

Julie

I am actually working on this one at home for my daughter in the actual material that is shown on the pattern (I know, how often does that happen. But it was 50% off and calling my name.)

You should be able to find the pattern anywhere that they sell patterns. It is a Simplicity pattern from the Daisy Kingdom collection. #2716.

The pattern includes the dress form of the shirt and a cute back pack.

I made the milk crate cover. It was easy to make. Here is a picture of how it came out. I used Fancy Nancy fabric. It is for my niece.

Here is the link for the instructions.

Okay I cased the using the bandannas idea from mousetripper's beautiful dress. Thanks for the great idea and letting us know where to find bandannas!

Here is Taylor's arrival day dress I made last night. Taylor is calling it the world's most twirly dress...she really loves twirly dresses and skirts.

Uht oh..... I have been bitten by the bug......

I have received my UBER FABULOUS designs from Heather worship and did part of a halter top last night with Cindy on it. Mind you, I have never touched a emb machine - just a regular one for like..hmmm... 5 minutes.

Now, I have seen the links for the VIDA - thank you everyone!

I can't find a thing for the FELIZ - can someone help me? Where do you get the pattern and/or a tutorial or instructions?

If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

You gave all that fabric away?! That's ok, like others have said, it's soo fun to shop for new fabric. I love the dress.

Our family didn't care for SoG. We would stay there again if it were peak time, for $$ reasons only. The Poly is on the monorail. But then since it's so close to trip, what they have available my just be your decision.

I agree, we thought SOG was just ok. It doesn't have all the Disney theming which adds so much to the excitement and feeling of being in Disney. Plus we also were way fed up with transportation by the end of the trip. But I see you're getting a rental car, so that probably won't be the same problem. The nice thing about SoG to me was how quiet it was when we were there. And we almost always had the pool to ourselves. You just didn't see that at any of the main resorts. Unless you're swimming in December, or something. But it was hot when we were there in October.

Man I would have died for this outfit as a kid. I was all about bright neon colors, esp. hot pink. That dress is so fun. What sweet girls, too.

And for the group that likes to make the crayon rollups. I found this tutorial for Crayon Wallets. Kirsta used to like to take a pad of paper and color when she was much smaller.

http://jchandmade.typepad.com/jc_handmade/2008/10/diy-childs-coloring-wallet.html

I love that crayon wallet. I really should make one of those for my littlest sister (6). She loves having purses and wallets to carry around. It would be cute for her to have one with her crayons in it. She would just love it.

Well I will try again since nobody even noticed me the first time.....

I think you girls make some fabulous stuff. I am learning to sew and I love reading this thread for helpful ideas. I am almost done making my first project this year. I have made a bunch of stuff in the past but I am really learning how to sew even better now. I will try and post a picture of my projects as I make them. Of course I am a bit technologically challenged!
Anyway, I look foward to seeing all the new stuff you gals make and hopefully you won't mind my questions.

I just touched a machine for the 1st time last June. I'm learning a lot from this thread.

Hope they all inspire you as much as they have inspired me. I can't keep up w/ the ideas they put in my head.

We will be at POP Sept 29-6. Are you going to the Disboutique meet-up? DH has us pretty busy. I don't think we will make it.

U going to MNSSHP?

I have to get moving on sewing. I just tried one of DD's skirts on her this morning, only to discover that I need to tighten the elastic. Thought I was finished w/ that one.
