Disboutiquers Part 16 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[Tnkrbelle565]

This place is only about 15 minutes from my house. I'd be more then happy to go and get one for you if you'd like me too. (Just don't tell Heather ok?)

You are so sweet Karen!!! That doesn't look too tricky to make. Maybe I'll try to CASE the store...just don't tell THEM

DS8 will be easy...he wants to be Mickey Mouse...but DD9 is a whole 'nother story! She has two choices. Tinkerbelle or Hannah Montana. I've got an idea or two for Tink, but HM...I really have no IDEA!!! I don't watch HM enough to really know (other than a blonde wig and microphone) what will 'say' HM...(my older daughter said bad taste in clothes...but that is her opinion!).

So far I've got leggings, short skirt...that is it! I'm really hoping to steer her towards Tink, but in case I'm not successful in that...any ideas?

Thanks...

Here is our Hannah Costume (Halloween day at Camp). I got it on clearance at the Disney Store- $8 for the costume $1.50 for the sunglasses (microphone was a McDonald's toy but Target had microphones in the toy clearance section here)

Great job!
prayers said.


I have thought about it! I figured for Halloween I could dress them up and put them on my porch but I won't be here for Halloween I will be in WDW! so maybe next yr
I know others ahve said but Shannon made a great one! Also I think Jeanne and Tom have made ones too.



I just finished my AK outfit for Nik

Love the Daisy Duck. And those guys look too little to be playing football. (we only have HS football up here)

That place looks so cool, glad you had a good time.

And sock monkeys are Evil? I wasn't aware of that. My best snuggly when I was really little was a scrawny sock monkey nameds Igor. I called him Gore for short.

They aren't evil at all....we just have a few DISers who get nervous by the mere mention of a sock monkey (not naming names Heather )

Is there a pattern somewhere for the Vida or do we just draw it on our own? I know I've seen a tutorial but I am lost at the moment!
thanks in advance!

 

[revrob]

Does anyone out there sell appliques that they have made? I am looking for a Mrs Potts or chip to put on an apron for my blue belle dress. I don't have an embroidery machine and really don't have the time to do this by hand. If you do this, can you please pm me? I thought I saw someone post on here a few weeks ago that they do this.

I'm able to do this - I'll send you a PM

Revrob does!!! I am sure she can help you out but you would have to pm her...if I see her I will mention your request and send her right over!

Thanks, Cathy!

I also have to post this picture of my son in his 1st football scrimmage. He is the one standing up with my DH who is coaching him.

He looks so cute in his practice uniform! Poor kid is loving it but he is so tentative to tackle1 He has no problem tackling his dad or his sister but any one else nope! He is only just 7 so hopefully in time it will click. The important thing is he is having fun even if he doesn't look it on the field. If you ask him he says he loves it!

SO CUTE! Love the outfit, and I love seeing pics of Kyle, too! It's so great that he's doing so well!

I love that pic!!

Thanks so much! It really was a magical time for both my DD and myself!

I bought the pattern on Etsy.

Thank you revrob and 2cutekidz for posting your Belle dresses. Both of those methods for the swag part of the skirt make sense to me and I'm ruminating on what I want to do and when I should start it. I want to make a super-comfy (otherwise, she won't wear it at all) version of a yellow Belle dress for our trip next May, so not only do I have to figure out how I want to make it, I have to figure out how big she's going to be nine months from right now. The way she grows, I might have the best luck with a crystal ball on that one!

I love the little ones playing football! I had wondered about letting mine play this time, but I think they start at 6 and Nate just turned 5. Don't worry too much about him being wary to tackle. My nephew (7) broke his shoulder in practice Monday night. He said he enjoyed "nailing" those other boys. They will meet with the orthopedist on Monday to see if he needs surgery

Oh NO! I hope he doesn't need surgery!!!!!! That is so scary!
I have to say I do worry about it but I am happy my DH is helping coach and frankly I think my DH is having a blast!
Oh and my son asked another coach 'When are they going to play Penn State!'

Here is our Hannah Costume (Halloween day at Camp). I got it on clearance at the Disney Store- $8 for the costume $1.50 for the sunglasses (microphone was a McDonald's toy but Target had microphones in the toy clearance section here)

Look how cute she is!!!!!

AimeeG.... I missed your post about your craft room and only saw Heather's response to it. But... CONGRATS!!! you're gonna love a room to yourself!

Anyway- my craft room has been an on going thing. Every couple of months I change things up, trying to figure out what is the set up for me, but the one thing that hasn't changed is the set up I have with my tables. Like Heather, I have an "L" shaped work area, but I have my computer desk seperate from my work area. I have also purchased inexpensive tables for my work surface and desk area. The tables I bought at Target on clearance for $89.00 a piece. The desk, I bought on clearance from Bombay for like $100.00- it was originally a small dining room table, but is the perfect size for my desk.

Here's an over all pic of the room. PLEASE EXCUSE THE MESS- I'm in the middle of making a quilt. And, NO, I'm not a baseball fan (curtains in pic) Those came with the house and I ahve yet to change them. I'm still trying to decide on a color scheme for my room- so they'll sit there until I decide!

My room is just about the same size as yours- 11 x10. You can see the desk to the left and my work area to the right. I moved my furniture all over the place in trying to decide on a set up- and this one was the best for me. I really wanted the table by the window, but if I did that, I couldn't fit my desk anywhere- and I wanted to be able to see out the window no matter where I was in the room, so, this is what worked out. What resulted was a work area I could scoot my desk chair to very easily- and I sew on the other side of the sewing table- being able to see out the window. Setting my room up this way allowed me to put 3 work tables, one desk and a big ol' bookcase in this small space- and I don't feel the least bit crowded in it! You can also see how I use the space on my walls above the work area.

Also- use any space you possibly can! Even behind the door. Here I used corner mold metal strips, cut them to the length I wanted and turned them into shelves for my rubber stamps, but this would also be a good idea to put thread on!

If you have a closet in the room- USE IT! My DH went to Lowes and bought the prefab white laminated boards and put these up in the closet for me. This is invaluable space ! I use LOTS of plastic shoe boxes ( 1.89 at Walmart) to hold all the little items that won't fit on a wall. Don't forget to label them to make it easy to find items!

This pic is only half of the closet and look how much it holds!!

In the old bookcase I have in my room, I have used baskets to store sewing supplies , patterns etc and and photo boxes to store other things. On top, I have magazine holders for my quilt patterns and books.

Finally- I posted a pic of my new desk set up last week. I love this set up! there is SO MUCH STORAGE HERE.... and my desk always stay clean and organized. I got those little cubby shelves with the silver containers in them for 12.99 a piece! that was a screaming deal! Normally the little silver containers cost about $30.00 alone! those little silver containers hold all my scrapbook embellishments and small sewing embellishments like snaps etc. The drawers under the computer screen were purchased at Ikea and hold a TON of stuff- scissors, batteries,oil for my machine- and all the bigger items for sewing that I couldn't put in my small silver containers. These drawers were reasonable in cost. They came only in a blond wood, so I painted them to match my room.

Did I tell you yet, that I heart Ikea?? They have AWESOME organizational stuff! IF you have one in your area, you really need to check it out! WELL WORTH THE TRIP! The closet one to me is 2 hours away in Chicago- and I go down a couple times a year (or whenever I feel the need to organize again!)

Well- I hope that helps

I didn't realize that was George in that picture! How cool!

My nephew (7) broke his shoulder in practice Monday night. He said he enjoyed "nailing" those other boys. They will meet with the orthopedist on Monday to see if he needs surgery

Yikes!!! This makes me hope that my kids take after me and their father and that they don't like sports!

First......... I need to apologize to Heather, as I invited her to come out and play yesterday, and I didn't show up! I tried to, but my camera was not co-operating for me... and I have a special surprise for her later in the post. I'm sorry Heather. Can we still be friends?

I couldn't believe it when I saw it! HEATHER WAS RIGHT! Sock Monkeys REALLY ARE EVIL!

It only confirms what I already knew to be true! With those blood-red mouths, there is only one thing they could be doing... They are evil incarnate!

I was going to forgive you for standing me up yesterday, but after the sock monkey incident, I just don't know if I can.

Was the rope they hung that evil thing on around it's neck at least? That would make me feel a little better about the situation.

Aisling is so stinkin' cute!

They aren't evil at all....we just have a few DISers who get nervous by the mere mention of a sock monkey (not naming names Heather )

WOW!!!!! Your sewing/craft room is SO fantastic! I just LOOOVE it! I could gaze at these beautimous pictures all day! I love all of your little organizing things. They are so cute and useful! I love it!!

Where did you get those little white shelves for holding your ribbon?? Did you have to modify them?? About how many spools will they hold??

Thanks!!

Well..... yes. According to some, they are. Sorry! Do you have any pics of gore you can share with us? I know I'm not the only one that would enjoy seeing him!




I WISH I LIVED IN DISNEY! And that is a definite YES! I will come and help you set your room up! I LOVE doing that kind of stuff!

Karen, I am in love with your craft room. I got my sewing room all set up not too long ago, then we got water in the basement, and had to change the rug. Where do you think most of the furniture and assorted junk from the wet room had to go when the contractors were in the house? Yep, my newly organized room. The rug is in now, but I am still trying to get both rooms back to a more organized state.

I was thinking that I would have to find a picture of Gore. The only ones I would have would be at home in photo albums, so maybe I can find one this weekend and share it on Monday.
