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

Hi Ladies and Tom, Haven't been around much in the past few weeks. Decided to homeschool Lauren this year so we have been busy starting that and trying to get in the groove. My poor machine is feeling neglected I think. Did finally start on my big give dress, hoping to finish it up today and will try to post. I'm hoping you all will say some quick prayers for my littlest kaitlyn today. On Saturday she feel off of the couch and hit her mouth very hard on our coffee table, busting out her top 4 front teeth, well we really aren't sure if they got busted out or shoved back into her gums. My husband was able to get a dentist to come to his office and see her (for no charge) , but there wasn't much he could do for us other than call in a prescription for pain med. Today we are off to the pediatric dentist aand are hoping that whatever needs to be done doesn't cause her anymore pain than absolutely neccesary. Thank you for taking the time to say a prayer or keep us in your thoughts today!
 
Where does one find that lovely 101 Dalmations fabric with the blue background?

I signed up for the You Can Make This Newsletter but so far I haven't seen any coupon codes or discount codes. Am I missing them? Are there any out there?
 
Last is the tote I made for Kirsta to carry her junk in. I didn't realize how big it was when made it:

It was one of the best trips I've had in years. I can't wait to go again!!
This bag is just adorable! So were the outfits but I have never seen a bag like this! Too cute!

****Can someone with the Vida Pattern PM ME?*******

I have a question about it (I am going to order it, I think)
Did you get the help you needed? It really is a very simple pattern. Just ask us if you have any questions about it! :D

Here is the outfit you all wanted to see....Taylor is wearing this to 1900 PF next Saturday. It was not made by me, Leslie made this and it is what got me so inspired to learn how to sew.

Sorry the pictures aren't great it got too late to take them outside. I promise I will get good pictures at 1900 PF for you to use Leslie.

Apparently, Taylor thinks she is Vanna White or a Price is Right girl tonight, this is all should would do when I would try and get her to pose

The poses are almost as cute as the outfit!

Inspired by Leslie's cute Vida for the AG doll, I decided to make one for one of Zoe's Build A Bear animals. I think it came out really cute. Unfortunately, the bunny I'd started to make it for didn't like my fabric/color choices (or so Zoe told me). :confused3 Luckily this pink kitty did so it won't go unworn like the last dress I made for Zoe (no, I'm not still bothered by that :rolleyes1).

BTW - I'm not sure the bunny will be getting a dress anytime soon since she's so darn picky. :rotfl:

I also did a modified 'Emma' style top. I changed it quite a bit but it's most noticeable in the back. I think this will make it work for more of the year.

CUTE! CUTE! CUTE!
 
Look for a Financail Peace University class with Dave Ramsey. He has alot of practical financial advise!

Dave Ramsey is AWESOME! We took that class and it really helped us!

I LOVE that Daisy shirt!!! It's so pretty! Someone should make a little tutorial for the AG vida! My daughter would love to have one of those, but I've only made one Vida so far so I'm not sure how good I would be at figuring out the sizing for the AG one.

I just finished my oldest DD's nemo dress last night. The bottom ruffle was SUPER long and it took me forever to do since I had to hand ruffle it. I definitely need a ruffler foot. I think the strip of fabric was over 25 feet before I ruffled it! I still have to do my other DD's ruffle on hers which makes me want to cry just thinking about it! I love the look of it though. Hopefully I can post pics later if I get it done. I've made a couple of things but my photobucket is acting up. After doing that ruffle it makes me leary of doing a patchwork skirt with all of that long ruffling even though I love the look!!!!
 

First...TBI? The only time I have heard that in a medical situation is Traumatic Brain Injury...
Third...do some of you EVER sleep?
Nini
Yep, that would be me, severe traumatic brain injury gal. I live in denial most of the time but when trying to learn something new like Embird studio I am reminded how bad it is.

I wonder what the ladies are doing up at 3 am!!!
 
FABULOUS new stuff!


Sally GREAT mini tr! everything is so cute.


Marah I love all the princess parade pics! More Sleeping Booty!
I still need to figure out how to make it....
 
Slightly OT, but still creative LOL
I may have mentioned that a friend of mine and I have started a boutique cake business called 2 Chicks Cakes! Here's what we did last night- it was a birthday cake for 4 colleagues. First time I did a paying gig for someone I didn't know at all, so pretty cool milestone there:)

Thanks for looking!

ETA the small gap between the top and middle tiers will be covered; but I didn't see it when we mocked it for the pic shown. The client specified that they wanted to use ribbon. And yes, my brain doesn't see straight lines real well, but this cake is supposed to be "mad hatter" style, I promise.
 
Cpuld someone show me a close up picture of top stiching on a patchwork? I have made several and have not done this and I am wondering exactly what you mean. Thanks!

Here's a pic of topstitching on a tiered skirt. I cropped a picture, so it's not the best, but you can see a little of the topstitching. I topstitched both the vertical and horizontal seams.

Next time I make one I'll make a tutorial too. ;)
 
So I found this and got all excited that maybe it was the elusive picture.

Daytime parade? check
Blue and white? check



But, it's a Christmas parade from Disneyland in 2007, and it doesn't look like the same blue fabric at the bottom, so I guess it's up to you how much faith you have in the pic? :confused3

Man... you are GOOD! Not the one I'm looking for but STUNNING! I can look at these all day....... Now you have me wanting to see the front of that one..... Told you.... I need to get to Disneyland again!

I am so sorry to hear about your little girl, prayers said. When my son was 2 he jumped off a climbing toy and his chin landed on his sisters head, hard. He knocked the tooth so hard the tooth bent towards his tongue and the roots shot out towards his cheek with his gums holding the middle down (I hope that makes sense) anyways the dentist maneuvered that tooth back but said it would probably still fall out or turn black. Fast forward to today, he is 11 and still has that tooth and it is not balck, I hope you get a story like this to tell too.
 
Here's the right dress, and the back...and a pole down the middle. But it sure looks to me like there aren't any "tails" off the bow.

It's funny how the few pics that we've seen all seem to have it obsured a bit, isn't it???? But with this shot, I'm with you in thinking there are no tails.... but would still love to see a clearer shot if someone finds (or gets!) one.

And someone mentioned a tour of the costuming department. OF COURSE I would be in..... but they'd probably have to frisk me on the way out to be sure I hadn't stuffed some bolts of their gorgeous farics under my coat.....
"Funny thing.... it's 108 degrees out, but that bulky looking woman is wearing a coat.... hmmmm....."
 
Love, love, love those!!!!! Where did you get that fabric? I would wear a top in that fabric-even to work not just AK!

Christine, these are great!! I love that fabric! Fabricland?
Becky is so grown up looking. She really needs to stop that! I love that she'll match Nicole! She's such a great big sister.

Thank you for the kind words, the fabric came from Fabricana, which I am sure nobody but Lydia has ever heard of, we Canadians don't have Joannes, Hancocks or Hobby Lobby and we pay a fortune for fabric, but I am not complaining :rolleyes:
The fabric is called Ballanda by Nutex
 
Here is the last dress I made for my baby girl with her sister's matching dress.

Thanks for the picture of the topstiching on a patchwork. Does it make it more secure?
 
I lost my multi quote!!! UGGGHH!!

From what i remember...Lisa...love Daisy! Silly "friends" of Zoes need to learn better manners when it comes to customs:)

I loved someones "no armhole" pillowcase dress with the pink bow in the front. I may have to try that style!

I always try to go to MK the first day. But that is because the whole experience is about seeing the Castle:) My kids just follow my lead. There is so much to see and do at every park now. You can't go wrong starting anywhere! I'm also a TGM follower...but i'm all about breaking the rules to suit my purposes too:)

Love the pics of the princess in the various gowns at different events or times of the year. I so badly want to go at Christmas time! Perhaps next year! When do they start "officially" their Christmas parades etc?

Love the "vanna white" poses on the SS custom. Too cute!

My now almost 8 year old son was involved in a horrible car accident a little over 4 years ago. The thought of loosing his tooth was the least of my worries at the time, but later the tooth started turning black. The dentists took x-rays and said the tooth still appeared to be alive and it could have been the trauma that was turning the tooth black. He bleached the tooth white and we waited. The tooth was one of the first to come out...but it stayed long enough to keep the teeth straight in his mouth. (and it stayed nice and pearly white)

Hope the dentist is able to make things painfree and keep her pretty smile!

Cute!! Love the matching dresses!!

I think the topstitching does make it a little more durable. It lays nicer too and makes pressing after its washed easier.
 
Been really busy and trying to keep up. Finished my second Vida yesterday and I am about to go outside to take some pics if Sara Beth cooperates. We also have company in town...brother and his fiancee. Not to mention DH had to go away for 2 days for an interview. So, crazy! And I am addited to Farmville on facebook.

Everything that I have been seeing is beautiful. Love all the new outfits!

I love these dresses. I tell you, I get more ideas here. I'm determined to sew this weekend. DH is away and I don't have to work nights. So as soon as the girls are in bed...I'll start! It also helps to know what my schedule of parks are now so I know what I want to make. LOL.
