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

[Dreamer & Wisher]

I'm sorry about your job You were a preschool teacher right? Which school were you at and I am sure you have told me this before, which part of Atlanta are you in?

I am on the west side of Atlanta. I worked in a Mother's Morning Out program with 1 year olds. Unfortunately, enrollment is really down.

I'm so sorry you lost your job, Nancy.

Thank you

I am so sorry for the hard day and for loosing your job. I know it doesn't make any sense right now but I have found that usually when 1 door closes, another one opens and it is even better. Prayers being said for you.

Thank you, I have been trying to remind myself that when God closes a door he always open a window.

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

I love the back to school outfit! It is perfect for a 7 year old. Congratulations on getting your license back!

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

I love that style of skirt! Very cute.

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.

Amazing! You have been working hard. I love them all!

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

I hope to find something better.

So sorry to hear it! Hopefully you will find something just as good soon

Thank you.

Thank you for the encouragement, MAW is such a great organization.
Here is my latest creation for our upcoming trip, this is to meet the fairies in, my dd6 Nicole is so into dresses and the fancier the better, I am very happy as my other 3 kids are a bit old for all the customs now.

Very Pretty! I love the green fabric, it is so shimmery like a Fairy's wings.

I actually have 2 things to post --
here is Evie's Dalmations outfit - I have to add the elastic to the legs but I am not going to get it back off of her if I put it on her again.

Here is a pillow case dress I made for Joci but it is too big and she said it was ok for Juliet to have it since it fits her & she really likes it too.
Front

BAck

It is an actual pillowcase but with the picture being horizontal I had to take the pieces I cut off and attach them to the top to make it work. And yes I was cutting my armholes too small on prior attempts.

I love the bloomers! The pillow case dress is really cute.

Nancy, Im so sorry to hear you lost your job. I hope this means that there is something even better out there for you, but its always an adjustment when our life gets shook up. I hope you find the perfect job soon.

THANK YOU to all of you who wrote such kind things. I have read other posts about how sweet everyone here is and I have wholeheartedly agreed but when you are on the receiving end of it then it really rings true. This truly is a wonderful Group of Women.

Marah, Your family is beautiful! So happy for you!

 

[PrincessMickey]

Congrats Marah!!! They are so adorable. You guys make the perfect family. You and your DH are true angels to bring them into your family.

who was it that went to see wicked? How as it! DMIL might take me and DD and I was wondering if she will like it and kinda the story line a little. Roseanna LOVES the wizard of oz so I am assuming she will like this.

ALso can someone post that WICKED dress that was made again? I may need to case if that is ok!

Thanks! Roseanna is almost 7 (I can't belive that!) and very well behaved. I read the storyline but can you answer this. Do they show scenes with Dorthy or is that part just implied?

I am trying to judge what kind out set I want to make. THANKS for all your help!

I have seen it twice and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! So do DD11 (saw it at 10 and 11) and DS (saw it at 9). I think she will love it. Just be prepared for the fact that it is longish (about 3 hours). It is amazing! Dorothy is not in it but her presence is implied in one scene. DO NOT make a Dorothy custom AimeeG has a great Wicked custom. She is in Disneyworld right now but I'm sure she'll post it for you if you PM her when she gets back. I made a flying flying monkey shirt for Seth.

Okay while I am taking a quick break from the million things I have to do this weekend to get ready for our trip (We leave in 1 week!).... here is what I got done so far this week.

For Chef Mickey's (I may make an apron too if I have time):

This was my first attempt at a "by hand" applique.... It was late at night and I wanted to get it done now and didn't have time to wait for a file to be emailed... very simple, but I think it looks okay.... probably need an applique foot if I ever to decide to do more that way, but I love using my embroidery machine too much.

I also did a very very simple chip and dale since I wanted to finish something quickly when I got back in town just so I could get myself going again, not sure if she will wear it or not, it will be a backup in case she needs to change more then 3-4 times a day....Taylor's hair is wild here.... this is what it looks like when she wakes up:

I made lots of bows for outfits I had already finished awhile ago this week.... and still have lots more to make, here are some of the ones I got done:

For her safari outfit:

For her green, pink, and black zebra print outfit:

For Chef Mickey's and her "It all started with a mouse" outfit:

For her birthday outfit, and maybe her dessert party outfit, although I did make 1 big bow for that outfit already:

For her dress with all the princesses:

For her 101 Dalmations outfit with cruella:

For her Boo outfit:

And I just finished her Ohana outfit... I planned to do pants with Lilo and Stitch too... but I am running out of time so I just made it dress length instead of shirt length and called it a night.

Here it is without the petti.... I can't decide if it looks right with the petti on this one or not, since I was planning a shirt without a petti when I made it, not sure if it is quite wide enough for the petti or not.

Marah, You have a beautiful family and we are all so happy that you have shared this precious moment with us. God bless you and keep you.

Please tell me I'm the only one who wants to call them Phineas and Ferb

Is that judge like 20????

What is that gorgeous song on Drayke's video???

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I went to go see it. I told my husband, that when it comes here, we will be taking our kids. When I was there, there were quite a few small kids there with parents.

I don't know why but I would also like to CASE a Wicked applique. Is there a digitized embroidery pattern out yet?
