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

I finished my first A-Line; it took a TAD :lmao: longer than 15 minutes but it is REVERSABLE (which I never thought I could do)! Please excuse Mollie's "bedhead". It's like pulling teethe to get her to model to begins with. I sure wasn't going to make matters worse by insisting that I brush through her hair!

That turned out cute.:thumbsup2
 
Lydia looks so cute in the a-lines! I really like her in green with her hair.

The nemo dresses are just adorable. What cute girls!

These are just too cute and I must ask, where is the little dog?

Thanks, you crack me up, I think Scrappy should have his own fan club, lol.

Here he is, helping us sorting books for school. And by sorting, I mean bringing us his squeaky ball and knocking over piles until someone will throw it for him.

Hi guys,

Two things....

Ma is back in the hospital - 3rd visit because of the hernia issues - quick recap May had her 8th abd hernia surgery - July went back because of post of infection - Aug went back now because 2 years ago the guy (diff dr) must have hit her intestines because she had had bile leaking for this long... :scared1: This caused the infections and mesh issues etc. etc. Now they have to address that in the front of her abd and open her side like a sandwich bag to pull apart her intestines, remove some and repack them in. Needless to say it's been hectic and she is scared to death.... so any blessing or good vibes you can send would be awesome. Her name is Pat if you want to add her to your prayers list.

Also... I am going to sew to help my nerves but I have to size up a pattern. The one I have is a 8 I need to make it a 10-12... How do I size it up? Is there an inch or so to add to the outside edge of the 8? I looked in the bookmarks on pg 1 but I didn't see anything.

Thanks for all of your help :love:
 

Lady Tremaine is almost done. She wants to wear it to 1900PF on her birthday. We love to surprise the characters with little seen costumes, so this should be fun!

WOW! :worship: Lady Tramiane(sp?) will LOVE it!
 
1900 Park Fare is my all-time favorite character meal! The stepsisters are SO much fun! Plus, the food is DEEE-LICIOUS! I still dream about the brownies that were kind of like fudge and kind of like brownies. MMMMMM.....

I don't think you sent the tree idea!


I love the strawberry soup!
 
My beloved serger is acting up. It keeps coming unthreaded in two spots -- I assume the thread is breaking b/c it does it midstream. The needle comes undone and the orange thread comes undone (thankfully only at the last spot). It is doing it repeatedly. It's just a cheap Singer from Walmart and I still have the original thread on it. Do you think it's the cheap thread or does my tension need adjusting???

And I am going to buy new thread today b/c I will run out sometime today. Is one brand any better than another? What's on there now seems thin and inconsistent in thickness (does that make sense?).

I am using French seams wherever I can, but I need my serger to finish up the ugly edges on ruffles.
I don't know what brand of thread I have in my serger. It's just something I got in big cones at JoAnn. Have you tried changing the needles in your serger? If they have a little nick in them or something, it could make your thread break.

WOW!! Those are gorgeous! Your girls are SO cute!

I love it! That fabric is gorgeous! Your daughter is adorable, messy hair and all! Let me tell yah, I have NEVER made anything in 15 minutes! That's usually how long it takes me just to iron my fabric so I can start cutting it out!

Awww....he is such a little sweetie! He needs his own facebook page. I wanna be his friend!:rotfl2:

:faint: WOW!! Just, WOW!!
 
We made our official "Countdown to Disney" calendar today! We won't start marking the days off until tomorrow. But, Sawyer is so excited about it. He's asked me about 20 times today "Are we going to Disney World now?" I think it's going to be a long 49 days! :rotfl2:

I love the strawberry soup!
Can you believe I didn't try the strawberry soup? I've been kicking myself ever since! I will definitely try it this October!
 
:faint: WOW!! Just, WOW!!

Thanks to all for letting me share! We're very excited about this. I told I would buy bright red lipstick and white eye shadow, but she has to be ready to boss Cindy and the steps around......
 
These are the nemo dresses I made for my girls. I love how they turned out. They are so twirly!!! Thank you ncmomof2 for helping with the tiered skirt!!!!!:worship: I think they are going to wear them to Epcot! Because I don't have a ruffler foot, the bottom ruffle took quite awhile! I think it was over 25 feet long and I had to ruffle it by hand. I definitely need a ruffler foot. I also still need to make hairbows to go with these outfits.

He really is so cute and thanks for putting a picture of him up. Of course we love your sewing more.

Truly amazing!
 
I bet now you feel it's money well spent!!

The money was definitely well spent. She had so much fun and I had time to sew without feeling like I was neglecting her. We'll have 2 weeks with no specific activities and then a week of VBS/Day Camp before school starts. That VBS is great - they have VBS in the morning then the kids who are staying for the day camp (only $26 for the week) get lunch and they all go on a field trip. Last year they did bowling, swimming, miniature golf, beach trip, etc.

Kirsta is in the whining stage. And she's so impatient! You try to help her with something and she tells you your wrong and just plows into whatever she's working on.

Zoe gets very whiny when she's tired. That's the main drawback of the day camp - she was almost always tired when I picked her up. We're moving her bedtime earlier to get ready for school so that has helped.

We are starting ours at 30 days....Emma asks everyday "5 days until Disney, right mom"? I wanted to start at 50 but didn't think I could handle it either!! :rotfl2:

Wow! I can't wait to see photos from your trip.
 
I just went and got the days ticker since I didn't know other than over a month. 38 days and I have only 1 shirt made for DH. But we have all our other customs from previous trips.

DH is running a 15.5 mile marathon in the mountains today. On a horse trail way back. I am leaving in a bit to go the pick up spot. I gave him 5 hours to finish it.

I really really need to get inspired to make AK clothes from the zebra fabric but I just don't feel it.:confused3
 
Sorry about your serger, I don't have one but I hope someone can help you.

For a bolero jacket, try Simplicity 2833 or 3589 These are in their Hannah Montana line

McCall's M4703 Is a cute pattern for capes/capelets which would look very cute in Microfur and perfect for December. No sleeves either so it would be easy.

You can see the patterns at Simplicity.com and mccalls.com
Next weekend (Aug 21-23) Simplicity patterns are 5 for $5 at JoAnn's
Thanks for the pattern tips. I'm a bit scared to try a commercial pattern and was hoping there was another site like YCMT or another brand to try. I've done a couple of commercial patterns in the past, and I detest them. I don't understand half of the terminology! I do love that cape pattern though and imagine that might be feasible.

Just lovely! I have ordered a Nemo custom for my dd for Epcot as well and will likely change her into it b/f the Nemo show at AK as well. I ordered it thinking I could never make anything like it -- it does have some applique that I'm probably not capable of and looks pretty complex, so likely a good thing I ordered it. I will post a pic of it once it arrives, but told the seamstress I didn't need it until November and I know she hasn't started yet b/c she just e-mailed me about altering the design so dd can wear a long sleeve shirt under if need be. Your little nemos look adorable and I love the twirl! Will you be dining at Coral Seas at all? That would be a good place to wear the dresses as well. We'll hopefully eat there on our Epcot day so my dd doesn't get too tired of changing!

What fantastic color and pattern combinations! Just fabulous! And I read on page 1 you are not allowed to apologize for messy hair -- my dd's pic in her school dress had end of the day head which is similar to bedhead, but I just went with it -- easier than persuading her to have her tangles combed. Are your pants Carla's Easy to Fit? I plan on making some similar for an outfit I'm making dd now.

Thinking nothing but good thoughts for your mother.

Sorry, no clue how to size up a pattern.

OK, let's face it, you need to be working in costuming at Disney. Simply amazing!!!! You need to video the encounter at 1900PF so we all can see.

I also have another idea for you since you did the blue/pink Aurora combo -- try a combo of Anastasia and Drizella , for example make the right side of the dress Anastasia's colors and the left side Drizella's. I think that would be interesting.

I don't know what brand of thread I have in my serger. It's just something I got in big cones at JoAnn. Have you tried changing the needles in your serger? If they have a little nick in them or something, it could make your thread break.

Thanks -- I read the troubleshooting in my book (:idea:of course didn't think to do that until after I posted) and it said it's either bad thread (and this thread does look nasty), tension too tight or to change the needle. I adjusted the tension and am trying again but now almost ran out of thread so can't go further b/c I want to rethread by tieing off. And dh is gone so this is a trip to the fabric store with two children in tow:headache: My serger scares me and I fear changing the needle. I can change my sewing machine with no prob, but the serger just intimidates me. I will keep you posted....
