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

[woodkins]

I use a low heat hot glue gun.... I line the sides of the bottle caps and put a little in the center.... seems to hold really good.... I let Taylor wear some to school to really test them to make sure they wouldn't fall apart....now I just have to figure out how to pack them without crushing them.

Aww I hadn't thought of that since it was her 4th of July outfit.... but yeah now that I think about it (especially if he lets us pick him up, I will put that on her.

To pack my dd's bows without crushing I put them into a plastic rubbermaid shoe box size container and then pack that inside my suitcase. I have never had a problem with crushing when I pack it like this.

Hey y'all, just a very quick drive by to thank you for your prayers. DH has been admitted, he's having Atrial Fib which is an abnormal electrical impulse basically causing the top chambers of the heart to flutter instead of beating strongly. They've ruled out a heart attack for now, and are giving him meds overnight to keep his heart rate from getting too high. A Fib is something a lot of people deal with, but they're usually older, so this is a bit different. They're doing a bunch more tests tomorrow, especially since they're still not able to get his heart into anything like a normal rhythm. On the other hand, it was a night out without the kids; our first ER date. Keep up the prayers, if ya can, and pray for my mom since she's trying to keep the kids alive while I'm otherwise engaged (trust me, it's harder than you'd think)
Thanks again ladies (and Tom)
Nicole

to you and your husband.

After the lovel comments about my first ever sewing project ( pillow case dress) and the recomendation of CarlaC patterns, I have made this dress for my DD for out trip to Disneyworld in September.

It's no way perfect and not up to the standard of the rest of you fantastic sewers...but hay, I'm pleased with my achievement.

So I would just like to say a BIG THANK YOU to you all

Looks great. I love the raspberry dot fabric.

New CarlaC and SisBoom pattern available on YCMT this morning! The Meghan peasant for Mom and older girls, and the Molly peasant for the girls.

VERY easily constructed and goes together quickly!

I really love the last photo of Angie and Leighanna together - so sweet.

I put the sides on the first vida that I am making for my DD. I top stitch the ones on the front panel and topstitched the 2 sides that meet. My question is are you supossed to topstitch it? When I did it puckered!? It has kinda a curve to it so that is why. I might have used to short of a stitch too. Please help if you can. Thank you....

I didn't topstitch the side seams, but i did where it meets the front, and it did fine. Did you cut the side pieces on the bias? That makes a difference in how the stretch over the curves.

 

[mirandag819]

Glad you found out some answers so far. You are in my thoughts and prayers....Along with your mom too.



Do share the ribbon group.

The yahoo group is Rockin Ribbons , if for some reason you aren't allowed to post that someone let me know.

Lauren's version of the Molly dress:

And the adult Meghan version:

Keep in mind I am 24 weeks pregnant in this picture, so the fit is fairly forgiving.

Thank you...yes I did cut it on the on the bias... I think it just should not have been topstitched. Where the sides meet the front it went together fine. I will take it out.

Thank you again.... I see you are in Mobile... I am in Pensacola... heading over to the Eastern Shore today to take advantage of the tax free and hit the pop jets.

To pack my dd's bows without crushing I put them into a plastic rubbermaid shoe box size container and then pack that inside my suitcase. I have never had a problem with crushing when I pack it like this.

That is a good idea.... I usually like to pack her bows in the individual bags with matching outfit, underwear, pony tail holders, socks... whatever she needs with a particular outfit, but I don't think I can pull that off without crushing them this time.... so that sounds like a good idea. I will just have to do her bows myself and remember to grab them when she is changing in the middle of the day. I always do the bags so someone else can help get her dresses the way I want if they are ready in the morning before me.

mirandag and ncmomof2 I love all the outfits you've been making for your trips! Amazing work ladies!!!

I'm glad they've ruled out heart attack. I hope his heart rate regulates today! I have had issues with arrythmia since childhood and it's no fun.

It's darling!

To pack my dd's bows without crushing I put them into a plastic rubbermaid shoe box size container and then pack that inside my suitcase. I have never had a problem with crushing when I pack it like this.

I use empty plastic diaper wipe containers. I put the bows and jewelery in them and have never had a problem. I usually get them out the night before when I set out the appropriate baggies for the next day's wardrobe.

Update on DH:
Thanks for all of your prayers and good wishes y'all, it really means a lot to me. DH's rhythm regulated with some new meds they tried overnight and this morning, so they're sending him home with orders for the Cardiologist. Looks like we're over the hump for now, hopefully his heart won't decide to jump into the 150-s again, or it's another visit, but we're feeling optomistic.

 

[Piper]

I'm so glad you got good news. Prayers will continue for your family.

 

[SallyfromDE]

Other than the fact that it costs more points do go over christmas I would LOVE to not have to shuffle between my parent's and the in laws and be far, far away! Doubt I will talk DH into it anytime soon. We do love the weather in May

I discovered this store on ebay that has great prices- do your searches on characters "Tinkerbell" "Pooh" etc
jhonybarba is the ebay id, but her store is The Pirate's Royal Bootie
the pooh was 5.79 a yard and she has a very similar, slightly brighter print with out the emoridered look for 4.79
the Tink was $4.99 a yard
and her shipping was cheap too
I just saw a cute disney princess seersucker too that I had never seen before. This will cost me a little more than what it was for Walmart (which is gone and was limited) but Im glad I dont only have Joanns at $7.50+ a yard.
She seems very friendly and has loads of positive feedback

Marah Im off to check out your blog!

Thank you!

I'm done with another outfit for our disney trip

Still have to make our nemo outfit and minnie outfit

We have 34 more days till our 13 day disney trip!!

Sooooooo 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.

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.

Those are aweosme! And so inspirational! If you can do all that, surely I can get what I need to done, Right?...right?

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.

I love this; what are you talkin about, it's great!

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

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 dalmations w/ the shorts, they'll be adorable as bloomers; the pillowcase dress is great, too!

I just came across random pics of my daughter in a Lisa Zoe and wanted to share

Thanks for sharing it again, I love that outfit (who am I kidding, I'm in love w/ all Lisa's designs) and I really love those pics of your DD, she looks adorable, and so happy in it.

Hi Ladies (and Tom!)
Thank you SO MUCH for all of your support, positive thoughts, prayers, and kind words as we finished this journey and finally became a FOREVER FAMILY!

Without further ado, I present to you:
Forever Our Five

Again, thank you, and I wish you each the happiness that we've found today!

OK, crying happy tears after the videos and pics, I'm just so, so happy for you all.

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.

These are awesome! I really love everything, espeically the bows; love, love the chef mickey outfit!

YAY! DH just called to say he is on his way home from Iraq now for R&R .. he was suppose to leave Monday, so now I know he will be home in plenty of time for our flight to Orlando on next Sat morning even if he does get delayed with sand storms. Sounds like he may be home Monday.... now I gotta really rush and get stuff done this weekend!

I am just so excited he is going with us now

Yay!!!!!!!!

Welcome back! I responded to your email but thought I'd post the photos here as well in case you're still checking in. Here's the dress I made. I know I'm a bit early since the movie isn't being released for a few months but I couldn't wait. LOL

I was not surprised that it sold out quickly. I imagine once one person sees it, the word spreads like wildfire - even faster, actually. I bet the owner of that store would love to get a lot more.

Congratulations! I LOVE seeing all of your kids now in your sig photo.

Love that dress!

I finished the last two dresses for my baby girl, well I might do one more. You all know how that is!

I still have the AK dress for my older girl and 6 applique t-shirts.

So cute!!!! You'll get it done, don't worry.

After the lovel comments about my first ever sewing project ( pillow case dress) and the recomendation of CarlaC patterns, I have made this dress for my DD for out trip to Disneyworld in September.

Awesome job!!!!

The new Meghan and Molly dress/top! I LOVE this top! I even think Nikki is wearing hers the 1st day of school.

This top goes together so easily! I am sensing many more in my future!

Love these, they're great! I can't wait to make one for Caitie

Super cute; You look a lot better preggo then I look when I'm not; it makes a great maternity top;!

Love this! Where did you find the designs for your applique?? I want to make my daughter a dress for our trip in December, but being that it is so early I am having trouble finding any good, simple designs for "by hand" applique.

Thanks!!

I did a screen capture from the trailer I found online. It took awhile to get one I liked of her as a frog. I did notice yesterday that there are some coloring pages for Princess Tiana if you do a google search.

Thanks everyone. I ended up crossing in back.

Well... the gown is STUNNING. I guess it's pretty obvious it's all about the gowns for me....I've already had requests, but I just don't see it happening this fall. Since we're going to Disney in the middle of Halloween costume season (WHAT was I thinking????) I'm going to be doing good just to keep up with my current offerings. Not that I wouldn't like to try my hand at it!

I'm anxious to see if Disney comes out with some version of it!

I was trying to think of a way to convince Zoe to be Princess Tiana for Halloween but I doubt she'd go for it. I'd love to try to make something inspired by this gown, though.
