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

[teresajoy]

Can I please be jealous? I soo want to go to DW. Take me with you pls!


How fun! Can't wait for pictures.. Pictures are coming tomorrow right?


Haha.. yes I enjoyed them. well Mary kinda freaked me out, but the other was awesome. I remember seeing a video where all these people ran into a high end store and sang some song. I can't remember what song it was though. <3 Sound of Music though

Okay... I am making a fishingline hem. This is going to be interesting.
I need a Babylock teacher who lives down the street. She'd probably move from all my questions though. Has anyone ever made a fishingline hem???

I did, but I didn't like the way it looked when it was done.

Don't you feel so cool that you know them all?!??! (I'm a dork- I know!)

Think how cool we feel being on there with Miss CarlaC! Oh yeah, Take THAT cool kids who ignored me in High School!

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):

These are so cute!!! When Heather showed me that applique I was so exited!!! Those dresses are just adorable!! And, my vote is definitely for the petti!

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!:

I'm so happy for you!

Marah, I tried to post on your blog and it wouldnt let me...
that video of Drayke made me cry. Im so happy for you!
I really need to be sure to take lots of photos of Hannah, these sweet 'baby days' go by so fast!
I cant believe she is 11 weeks today and seeing your little guys reminded me how fleeting it is.


OT- vent, but not really-
so today, I wanted to do something fun with DD3, we went to McDonalds, which for her isnt a big deal, but I drove to a ice cream/farm stand she loves. She wanted pink ice cream to match her dress (she was wearing the cupcake one I made) and then we sit at a picnic table, Im almost done with mine, shes only had a few bites of hers, but hard ice cream is a challenge for her to eat, but she didnt want help. Then she goes to pick up her cup and I say nicely, you need to leave in on the table. she tells me she doesnt want to eat with me- she wants to go to a different table. I say (again nicely) no its here or not at all, she says shes done- I ask her if shes sure- mommy is going to throw out her ice cream, she says yes- throw it out. she had only had just a few bites.
waste of gas, waste of money on ice cream, waste of time.
Its been almost 3 months, Im sick of this. I told her I wasnt happy with her and then in the car she cried and said she was sorry, I just said okay.
....sigh....
she and I used to have fun together, now she just wants Daddy.

I know its probably just a 'keep lovin on her and be patient' but boy thats hard some days.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I don't have any advice for you, I'm sorry. I can't imagine how hard that would be. I'm sure she will come around.

I posted this on the old thread on accident. On Part 15 a poster had put a pic of a shirt of mickey as jack sparrow that they said was taken from a pin. I am extremely sewing impaired and would love to know how to do this. My daughter would love it! If anyone can help I would be really appreciative! Thank you!

If you don't have an embroidery machine, check out HeatherSue's applique tutorial in the the first post, and it will tell you how to do it by hand.

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

.

SOOO cute!

I LOVE all of your outfits, but the Lilo one is adorable. My husband was lurking on the boards while I was sewing and he fell in love with it!!

Your husband was lurking on the boards??? Hi 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

I really like this!!! Great job!

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.

I'm happy for the good news! I hope he continues to improve!

Hi! We were reading a trip report for a Make A Wish trip, and we saw the cutest shirts that we think featured big Pooh, Tigger, and Piglet faces. We were wondering if whoever made these adorable shirts is here and if it would be okay if we did something similar for our MNSSHP costumes. If it's okay, we'd love if you could post pictures and tips here or maybe PM them to us. Thanks so much!

Okay I had to laugh a little just now.... I realized the picture of the bow I made to match Taylor's boo outfit didn't show up, I couldn't figure out why and I just saw the link was edited.... the name of the picture file was boo bow, but I didn't put spaces between any of the words so it replaced the first four letters with stars.... I wasn't using a bad word I swear

Marah! So happy to see the family pictures! I needed a good pick me up today! So happy for you all!

I wanted to share my latest CarlaC creations with you all too!

I have had this material since before our big family trip, but I really don't like sewing whith sheer fabric, so I was to askeered to make anything with it. Well, that is until Carla told us she was coming out with an adult peasant top! Then, my little mind figured that with a Carla pattern, I might just be able to use this material! I plan to wear it to Chef Mickey's when we go:

And, then I planned on making Arminda and Lydia peasant dresses too, but our neighbor girl, Shelby was over, so I decided to make her one too. After I finished the three, another neighbor girl came over and loved the dresses, so I made one for her too. Needles to say, this dress is very fast to make!! There is no gathering!!! YIPEE!!!
These are from the Molly pattern, made with Sis Boom fabric.

That is Shelby, Lydia, Arminda, and Hillary.

They started a lemonade stand the other day and asked me to make them aprons, so I did. Heather worked her magic with the digitizing and sent me all their names all pretty for me to stitch out onto the aprons. Thanks Heather!

That is Hillary's little brother, Drew in the background taking a picture!

I have to say I love all the outfits for mom's and daughters...ugh...I just need to find motivation to sew Katie's Vida...yep...still haven't sewn it together...I just cry everytime I go in there...hard to see thru tears! I have to get busy, it's her dress for the beach and we leave in 9 days.

LOVE the fabric - and how sweet of you to make dresses for the neighbor girls! Now - if I could ask a technical question about the pattern - besides the gathering/elastic at the bodice is there anything different on this pattern than the portrait peasant?

Thanks! I was pretty pleased with how they came out!

Ok, as far as the differences, let's see if I can remember them!!!

1.) The front of the bodice is lower than the back of the bodice, giving it more of an tweenish feel to the fit. As you can see from the pictures it's not too low on the girls, but it does give a different feel to it than the Portrait Peasant (PP).

2.) The sleeves have a different shape to them than the PP.

3.)The skirt isn't just a straight piece, it is narrower at the top and curves out.

4) The way Carla has you sew in the elastic at the waist is very cool!

5.) This isn't a difference, but thought I'd point it out, because I wondered when I firs saw it. The top is a separate piece than the bottom.

6.) The PP doesn't go up to a size that fits Arminda, but this one does!!

7.)Carla explains a little differently how to assemble the bodice, but to be honest, I just put it together like the PP one, I found that to be easier for me.

If you don't own the PP, I would still buy that one first, but I would eventually think of buying this one too.

Oh - ok - thanks for the info!!! I have the PP and love it - just wasn't sure I needed both. The sizing thing is nice....

Some of you might have noticed that I haven't been on here much lately. I've been really missing everyone too!! But, I thought I'd explain a little bit about what's been going on. As many of you probably know, we found out the other week that Brian's Dad has bladder cancer. He had surgery to remove it, and it was quite a bit larger than they had anticipated. The doctor told Brian that the cancer was incurable. We were really worried that my FIL wouldn't have much longer to live. Yesterday Brian took his Dad to his appointment and got some more sort of answers. The pathology report had come back, and it was in fact a very agresive form of cancer. But, the doctor is really hoping that he got it all. The doctor gave my FIL 3 options: 1. Inject a form of tuberculosis into the bladder 2. Chemo treatments 3. Wait 5 weeks and go back in to see if the cancer is still there. The hope here is that there will be no cancer left and the doctor got it all. I'm not sure if they would still do some chemo at that point or not. They chose option 3. My FIL also has emphasima, so he doesn't breathe very well and that has me worried too. He is 83 years old, which I guess is old, but to me he doesn't seem old at all, he's Brian's Daddy, you know? So, it's been a real emotional rollercoaster around here for the last few weeks. If you pray, please pray that the cancer is gone and at the 5 week checkup my FIL will have a clean bill of health. He's a grumpy old booger, but I love him dearly.

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.

.

I used an empty wipes box to pack our bows in. I packed each outfit in an individual ziplock bag and the bows and bling in wipes boxes.

 

[princessmom29]

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.

We love those fountians! We had a play date there friday!!! Are there any fabric stores in Pensacola that would be worth the drive?

 

[minnie2]

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.

You both look GREAT in the tops/dress!

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.

So glad he is doing well enough to be released

Posting some items for our various fairy godmothers, because I can now! ((Hugs)) You've helped make the adoption/celebration events to remember!

(and to the fairy godmother who dropped some patterns my way- BOY PATTERNS!- thank you thank you thank you! )




Also- the first outfit I've ever sewn, the NON-EDITED version, lol!
(I still laugh when I see that I appliqued the star 'uppy down")

 

[3huskymom]

FYI...I just posted day one of our trip to my Lavender Ladybug blog. The link is in my signature.

Marah- I love all of the outfits the boys wore, they certainly had some special fairy godmothers!
