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

[sohappy]

Customs are taking over my guest bedroom! Some of you have seen these on facebook, but I thought I would post over here too. I have 4 appliques left (capt jack cutie x2, pirate mickey and Donald duck darth maul) 6 bowling shirts to sew (appliqués complete, just need the sewing done), and 4 costumes to make- only 27 days left! Ahhhhh!

You can see lots of random stuff, like the patchwork shorts and hat in the top of this pic, random customs from last year behind the pillow.

This one shows lots of shorts (3 pair each khaki and black, a orange ghost camo pair, the star wars one and under those, the epcot ones). The epcot ones look pretty terrible, appliquéd mickey head flags around the hem, but I just don’t like them, different sizes, they didn’t line up well. I just don’t do that well with machine designs. By hand is sooooo much easier for me.

A few close ups of a few of my faves. I am not thrilled with the starter logo in the corner here, but I love that they are sleeveless. Apparently boys don’t need to wear tanks- or you would think that from the lack of tanks available for boys.

This is for Sci-fi

And I did this one last night. It is one of my faves now!

I was asked of facebook for the clip art, so here it is!

I will probably get these modeled late next week before I start packing them away!
Thanks for looking.

ETA- sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.

So, here's how I spent my week. So much for finishing my very long list of things I have to do.
1. Spent approx 30 hours on a big project for a friends nursery. (no pics yet, will get them as soon as I can)
2. Got Caitie's back to school dress done:

here's the detail on the brown fabric:

gotta love the school supplies heehee

3. Got my nursing license mostly sorted (finally, only took a year). Note to all nurses, and potential nurses. Never, never, never, never ever ever ever let your license lapse. Even if you think you're not moving back to the states, even if you think you never want to go back to nursing. No matter what the reason, don't do it!!!! It has taken a year, over $1500 I didn't have, and truly endless frustration and aggravation to get that puppy back.

won't tell ya the extremely long list of what didn't get done

ugh...well, I've let mine lapse for about 3-4 years now. Is it too late to ever get it back?

OK, so I am trying to lose a few pounds before we hit Disney, so I am not busting out of my shorts, especially with free dining. So all week, I have done really well with Slim Fast for breakfast and lunch, well what did I dream about last night...... a carrot cake cookie from DHS. I mean really I dreamed about eating a cookie. Out of all the great food and snacks at Disney that is my absolute favorite thing in the world.

That is awesome, Kristine!! I love it!! Where did you find that cool fabric?

From JoAnns. It's Henry Alexander.

I've used that print before and love it, but really ,really love using it for FOTLK; can I case your idea?

YOU want to CASE me???? Of course you can!

Marlo...it's GORGEOUS!!!! I love it!!!

I'm a nurse and would love to "loose" my liscence JK! Well sort of. Hope it's all settled once and for all now.

I finally have something new to share. I made this for Nikki(9) for our trip to WDW I am planning a sleeping beauty applique for the top but I haven't done it yet. I love that she wanted a princess outfit for WDW. She wouldn't admit to too many people that she still loves them but in WDW it is ok

Love the skirt! Great colors for Sleeping Beauty!!

And I did this one last night. It is one of my faves now!

I was asked of facebook for the clip art, so here it is!

Everything looks great. You are a whiz at by-machine hand applique.
Is it OK if I use the Figment pin image for an applique? We called this baby Figment before we knew it was a girl so I want to make something for her with this image.

Thanks. Please feel free to make something with the pin. I posted it here so that anyone who wanted to could use it. Nothing that I do is super original- mostly just using disney pins- nothing special about my fabric choices (t-shirt, hello!) or anything. Anyone could come up with any of my "designs". I never have a problem being CASED.

Now, I did something super creative and original, I might want my kid to wear it first, but meh, not a big deal to me at all. I don't really sell anything either, so I understand when people who sell things don't want to be CASED.

I have been lurking on these boards for ever and feel kind of akward posting cause my sewing is so basic compared to all of you and the fact that I try and case your things and they look so different it is not funny I am kinda scared you might almost see what I was going for then realize how far off I was,. Anyway I have enjoyed reading these posts so much I really thank you, so does DD6 who loves everything I make her and takes great pride in telling people her mummy made it (at which point I tell people I am her aunt).
The reason I am posting now is to get some information. It is kind of off topic so I am not sure if this is the place to post. I run a daycare and one of the parents works for Make a Wish Canada. One of her volunteers is a former Disney employee and he is a member on these boards. He has heard of a lady in the states who maked personalized pillow cases for MAW kids going on DCL. The parent who works for MAW was wondering if there were any Canadian DIS board members who might like to "stock their cupboards" with little Disney things to give to Canadian kids wishing to go to Disney-land or world, they don't often do cruises as it is not always possible from a cost standpoint. So I guess what I am trying to find out is are there any Canadians who might like to donate some crayon roll-ups or autograph books or other things for MAW to have on hand?
The reason my daycare parent MAW employee was thinking of asking for Canadian volunteers is simply because of mail, duty and boarder issues, I know sometimes when I have something delivered from the states I get dinged for Duty.
Wow, from being to shy to post to this novel is quiet a stretch, sorry it is so long, and now that I have been outted I will post some of my customs too.
Thank you for reading this,
Christine

I Love your stuff! that is so sweet of you to post that and say what you did about Casing! I agree and that is how I feel. To me copying is the sincerest form of flattery!

Too many ups and downs for me today. . . My kids went back to school today. Thankfully that went well.

Then I found out that I lost my job. I am really upset about it.I liked it a lot and it worked well with the kids school schedule. Not to mention I needed the money.

Thanks for listening . . .

My prayers are with you. There must be something better out there for you.
