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

[mom2rtk]

the cindy gown came out awesome, cant wait to see pics of the belle one you are talking about!

Thank you!

The Belle gown is very similar to the one in group princess shot in my Flickr photos. But once I made it, I wanted to get even closer to the park Belle. The skirt is fuller and poofs out more at the waist. And of course, it's strapless with the collar down lower on the arms.... I'll try and do pics soon.

Actually I have been there 3 times in the past 20 months. 2 of the 3 times Lady Tremaine was there, so I've always known that was a risk.... The night we missed her the Fairy Godmother was there in her place, which was perfect because we were on our way to the P & P party and I was wearing MY fairy godmother costume!

It just dawned on me, that's YOU as the Fairy Godmother in your avatar! I'm a tad slow at times I guess!

I just used the Carla C way of putting in a collar on commercial pattern. I am over half way done with DH animal kingdom shirt but don't have any black to line the sleeves so it all comes to an end for today.

 

[lovesdumbo]

Sorry so long, and rambling, and completely OT, but I knew I'd want to see it if any of y'all went. Totally worth standing in line, even.

Sounds fun!

Oh, I forgot: I did get a chance to sew this last night for DD:

I gotta stop sewing on Saturday night though. DD wakes up every Sunday wanting to know what I made her to wear to church LOL.

Very cute!

Other than not having buttons, I finished DS AK shirt. I still have DH and a dress or skirt for myself.

LOVE that! I probably would have used black as the placket but I have to say I LOVE your version!!!!!

Many thanks to all for the research on Cindy's parade dress. I am finally done. I wasn't completely sold on the skirt yet, so I took that off and did a new one. My daughter had a growth spurt and it was just a little short, and I also thought it needed a double layer of the mesh dot fabric. It's now hemmed and has a massive bow (with tails!) in back. She has a matching headband, rhinestone choker and earrings.

And now that I'm sick to death of it, I can call it officially done!

WOW!!! Beautiful! Do you think Cindy will do a flip on the parade float when she sees that?

Neat! You know what's silly? I saw a family with at least one girl wearing what was CLEARLY a CarlaC simply sweet and I, like a big old chicken, was too embarrassed to approach one of the adults and see if they were a Disboutique family. I am ashamed to say it was because I only saw the husband and not the wife and I made the assumption that the husband a) probably wasn't the sewer (which isn't necessarily true, obviously) and b) would think I was a lunatic. So I didn't. Maybe that was your family.

And hey, we're considering a quick 3-night trip to DLR next October. Wanna come there too and make it a trifecta? Then I could chicken out asking if someone is a fellow disboutiquer there too. :0

I don't think that was us-because we only had 1 simply sweet with us (nemo) and I think we wore it before you arrived. BUT...you should have said something to the guy. I'm sure he's used to it.


I don't see me going to DLR anytime soon but your welcome to join me in December with just my oldest DD(10) or my youngest DD(6) for her 7th birthday in January. May will likely be just my DS(8-will be 9).

Yep, that's me... brave enough to use a photo of me in costume for my avatar, but not brave enough to show my face!!

 

[emcreative]

LOL...I used to have an avatar of me as the FG, AND I showed my fact...but I don't think that counts because I changed it before anyone knew it was me!!

Sorry, I am very new to this whole sewing thing. I have the brother 6000i

That machine uses a low shank foot.

 

[mom2rtk]

Sounds fun!


WOW!!! Beautiful! Do you think Cindy will do a flip on the parade float when she sees that?

Well, our favorite thing to do is to catch the CM's by surprise with the costumes.... I'm hoping Cindy will notice from the parade. What I'd secretly like is a photo op with her, but I know that's a long shot.....

 

[JAM3]

DD decided that she would like me to make her a blue Cinderella dress. She already has a pink and a brown (cleaning) dress! I would love to see everyones creations to help me decide on a pattern to use. I would like to make one to look as close to Cinderella at the castle as I can! But my sewing skills do have limitation!! I know many of you have wonderful ones that I have seen in the past! Please share your pictures and what pattern you used! I can't wait to see them!

 

[Mirb1214]

I tricked Mollie into modeling for me today w/out her knowing it! I just let her wear her lastest outfit to chuch and we took pics once we got home!

And this pic made me laugh; my husband is always laughing at me b/c he says that I always stick my tongue out when I'm concentrating (when scrapbooking and now sewing). I'm afraid Mollie may have the same problem!!

 

[mom2rtk]

lol...i used to have an avatar of me as the fg, and i showed my fact...but i don't think that counts because i changed it before anyone knew it was me!!

i wanna see!!!!

Wow!! That is absolutely AMAZING!!

So Cute! I may begin running into the same thing b/c it seems like Friday and Saturday are the only time I have sew here lately.

I think Heather would like to see the flip.

Hope you get your photo op!!!!

 

[mom2prettyprincess]

Absolutely Amazing!!!

Sorry, I am very new to this whole sewing thing. I have the brother 6000i

I have that machine and just got a "universal" ruffler foot from JoAnn. I do believe HeatherSue got hers there also.

I might buy a new back up sewing machine tomorrow. I have some pretty big issues with my Viking right now and to much to do. I would like to buy a good machine that is affordable! I am looking for like $100 or less.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks!!! I'm not above begging.... And it WILL be her birthday that day.... I just don't know WHO to beg.....

Sorry, I don't have any suggestions - but just wanted to say that isn't it ALWAYS when machines act up? When you absolutely can't afford to lose it? My sewing machine started acting up before our fall trip last year, I had to buy a new one. One week before we left for our most recent trip that we just got home from, my serger broke. Had to take it in to get serviced and didn't think I would have it back for a month. I did end up getting it back just a few days before we left. BUT, it's just murphy's law, isn't it?

Please tell me your "fact" isn't a euphamism for something R rated

Guess what we did yesterday? We went to see the Christmas Carol Train Tour Before I post, know that we only decided to go at midnight the night before, so no customs
but at least I got some pics!

The tour stopped at the Amtrak station in San Antonio:
Here's the sign on the way in:

Then you got to walk to the train and get in a really, really, really, really, really, really long line (See, I told ya it was Disney) (What, no fastpass?) because 15,000 of my closest friends had the same idea. At least we went early, so it was only a 1 1/2 hour wait. By the time we got in, it was almost 4 hours.

Cool!! It was in Houston earlier this week. The news reported that the wait was 3.5 hours. And I'm sure all the waiting was outside, where "feels like" temps were 105 - 108 that day (Houston has a TINY train station downtown)
