Disboutiquers Part 17 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[mom2rtk]

I didn't have mine until I was 27....and I thought that I would be the one having my babies in my early 20's....

I had my first a week shy of 30, my second at 32 and my third at 37. I don't think it's unusual at all to wait longer. I still claim that God knew what he was doing. I'm a different mother than I would have been in my early 20's.

Of course the first time someone tells you how cute your GRANDCHILD is, you kind of second guess it all...... I'm over it now though. I earned every gray hair in my head!

 

[mom2rtk]

I have done a few patchwork skirts for my daughter, but have seen many here that are done with longer strips of fabric than the square blocks I used. I know I saw instructions somewhere along the line, but have no idea where to look. A smarter person than I would have bookmarked it..........

Does anyone have a link or have them handy? I'm thinking that style will go quicker than ALL THOSE LITTLE SQUARES!!!!

 

[tricia]

SO happy you hear you had your first at 26. I've been feeling a little older to have my first at 26 - so many people at church seemed to have started (or starting) younger (I had to wait for my all clear from cancer last year). Anyhow, I don''t think 26 is old to start AT ALL (My mo and MIL both started at 29). . . I just like to hear of others not starting at 20/22. . . . feel free to ignore. . . .I'm totally rambling now!

26 is perfect. that is how old I was when I had Liam, and then 30 when I had Tyler.

Ok everyone I need all the PRAYERS I can get you all to say for my firends little girl. She is just a few months older then Araeyah, and she has an older sister and a younger brother. (He is 2wks older then Attikus, we were prego at teh same time)

If you read this, please say a prayer, Bryanna. She is only 3. She has been admitted to ICU because of a brain bleed and possible stomach bleed. They are running more tests, but she definitely has a dangerously low plate...let count, and as of right now, the doctors do not seem to know why this is happening. I can't imagine how her parents feel - but I know I would need prayers

HEr platelet was at 2,000, the lowest it's been.

Prayers being said, hopefully the next test shows and impovement.

Great News!

Dad got his biopsy on Wed done. We don't have the results yet, but the dr told him he didn't need to see him again for 6 months and everything looked fine. He doesn't see any reason why the results would be different!

More Great NEws!

We extened our Disney trip another day! We have to stay off property the last night, but we are staying right at Doubletree in DTD. YEAH! This will be the longest trip eva! Sunday, sept 20 through Monday, Sept 28! WOO HOO! And, I didn't have to take any more days off, as my place of empluyment will be closed that mon through thursday. So, when we get back on Tues, I will still have 2 days of to rest!

Great news about the biopsy. And adding a day to disney is always good.

okay, finished for the day!
I posted this earlier today:

You can see sister's matching dress bodice hanging next to this.
At least I thought it was sister's dress. Her mom said "Look, Olivia, it's your dress". Olivia told her mother "No it's not. My dress is Sally. I told Auntie I wanted Sally. That is NOT my dress."
Unfortunately, Auntie had already attached the applique to the bodice of the dress and there was no way it was coming off. Thankfully, the simply sweet bodice is the same front and back, so Auntie had a plan. I completed the dress:

But only after I appliqued Sally to the other side.

Now she has Sally on the front, Jack on the back, or whatever way she wants it!

These are for their Daddy's 40th birthday party tomorrow. They'll also wear them to Hollywood Studios in October.

Such a smart Auntie. And great looking dresses too.

I had my first a week shy of 30, my second at 32 and my third at 37. I don't think it's unusual at all to wait longer. I still claim that God knew what he was doing. I'm a different mother than I would have been in my early 20's.

Of course the first time someone tells you how cute your GRANDCHILD is, you kind of second guess it all...... I'm over it now though. I earned every gray hair in my head!

Too funny. My mom had my little brothers at 32 and 36, back in the 70's, ao she was always the oldest mom in that group. On the other hand my MIL was a grandmother at 36 and a great grandma at 54. (obviously not from me and DH)

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

AHHHH!!!! Do you see my countdown at the bottom of my page?! I have so much to do! I wish I could sew as fast as you all do. I still have to make the rest of one of my minnie dresses, make two pooh dresses, and one cindy themed dress. Plus, hairbows and 2 autograph books!!!!! I think I need some pixie dust sent my way!!!

Some good news, I am getting a ruffler foot for my birthday tomorrow. My DH got the generic one from Joann's. Does it take a long time to figure out how to use because as you can see, I don't have a lot of time to spare. Can I put it on my brother6000i because I've heard they are hard on your machine? Or should I try putting it on my old machine?

 

[SallyfromDE]

Nope - not too old!!! I was almost 34 when DD was born (and DH was 36). Lots of my friends had their kiddos earlier than me so while I have an almost 2-year old, their kids are in elementary school.

My Mother was 43 when she had my youngest sister!! We were all grown, and the youngest was 13 when she was born. I think Renee felt like she had 5 mothers growning up! We all told her what to do.

and now, because I love you all so much, I'm sharing with you my latest find!
Here's a hint (and so you know the link is safe to click, lol!:

I LOVED this video!! I wonder if they have a tour of the costuming? I'd sure love to visit that library!

 

[slh1913]

Hello. This is my first post on this thread and I read the first post but I haven't read through the whole thread. I would like to request that someone make a costume for me. I hope this is allowed...

I am taking my two nieces to Disney from November 25-30. This will be their first trip and I want it to be very special. My youngest niece will be dressed as Iridessa and I already have her costume. My older niece (who will also be celebrating her birthday at Disney) wants to dress as Princess Tiana. She is 9 years old and she wears a size 10/12. I'm not a mom so I know nothing about girls sizes but she is very slim but maybe a little tall or at least average height for her age. Anyway, all the Tiana dresses that I'm able to find online stop at size 7/8 which I don't think will fit her.

I think I will need to have a dress made to fit her in a size 10. Here is a link to Princess Tiana's dress:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/im...TF8&n=1036592&s=apparel&qid=1251553907&sr=1-2

If someone could help me out with this request I would really really appreciate it. If you can help me out please reply to my post or PM me.

TIA

Finally! I've made something I actually have a model to wear!! I made these shorts for DS yesterday. He's been jumping around in them all morning, and they haven't fallen apart yet, so that's a good sign.

Here are the curtains I made out of his flat sheet:

I also made a little taggie thing for my three month old nephew. That was way more time consuming than I think it should have been. It's just a pillow with ribbon tabs, but it took me, like, thirty minutes!

Today I'm trying an applique. Hopefully I'll have something to post later.

Thanks for being inspiring!!

2nd try...(computer is acting up!)

To those of you who have been in September, can you please give me some advice? We are going to Akershaus for a princess dinner. Our ADR is 5:30. This will be the last week in September. I am thinking about making a Sun dress for the girls to wear. (which princess depends on which fabric I can find!) We will be having a break in the middle of the day and then go back for dinner. So they won't actually be wearing it in the park during the hot part of the day. We MIGHT stay for Illuminations, not sure about that yet.

Is it going to be too cool for the girls after the sun goes down to wear a sun dress? Should I go with the Portrait Peasant as the base for the dress instead of the Simply Sweet?

I know here in Georgia it might be coolish after the sun goes down, but not sure about Orlando...any help or suggestions?

Thanks

[adoptionmomma4]

WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE THE SAME WEEK!!!
Here's a link to disboutiquers meet thread:
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2205560

Yeah!!!! I am going to head over to the meet thread as soon as I get back from my sons football game. Now I am even more excited than I was. If that is possible!

Cloth baby wipes? When do you need them done by? I really don't have time to make anything before our trip, but let me know if there is anywhere I could send some like in November.

My friend is leaving September 19th. How sweet of you to offer. I am going to be making some cloth diapers later for them, so I could send extra wipes with my diapers. They will be well used and so appreciated!

Finally! I've made something I actually have a model to wear!! I made these shorts for DS yesterday. He's been jumping around in them all morning, and they haven't fallen apart yet, so that's a good sign.

Adorable. He looks like he loves them.

PRINCESS TIANA-
A really long time ago someone posted some pictures of her green? dress. And possibly a design for one? I would love to make Katie one for our trip. She has recently realized she is brown and I think this would be so nice for her. I can not wait for the movie. It is sure to be a treasure in our house.

 

[HeatherSue]

But only after I appliqued Sally to the other side.

Aren't you clever!? I love how you solved that problem! The simply sweet looks adorable with the tiered skirt!

AHHHH!!!! Do you see my countdown at the bottom of my page?! I have so much to do! I wish I could sew as fast as you all do.

Or should I try putting it on my old machine?

First for some pixie dust ixiedust:

I use the low shank generic ruffler foot from JoAnn on my Brother CS6000i. So, it should work fine! Just remember to always put the needle position in the middle (01), or else it will hit the ruffler foot and break. I don't know this from experience, of course.

Hello. This is my first post on this forum and I read the first post but I haven't read through the whole thread. I would like to request that someone make a costume for me. I hope this is allowed...

Nope, you didn't read the whole first post! It says that we're not allowed to talk about selling on the Dis!

I also made a little taggie thing for my three month old nephew. That was way more time consuming than I think it should have been. It's just a pillow with ribbon tabs, but it took me, like, thirty minutes!

What a gorgeous child! Seriously, he is one handsome little boy! I love the Cars shorts. So does Sawyer! He also said that he wants the Pinnochio picture that your son has on his wall. Where did you find those cool pictures? He wants the Thomas on the bed, too. If you had a killer whale in the picture, I think he would be moving in with you.

The curtains look great!!

Beware the taggie police! They will come after you! The taggie blanket people have a copyright on putting tags on things and they protect that copyright vigilantly. It's ridiculous!

I would go for the sun dress and just bring a wrap or a light sweater for the evening.

We went the 1st week of October last year and it was HOT and HUMID all the time! I would do the sundresses. My girls wore sundresses or t-shirts everyday and the couple of days I wore capris instead of shorts, I was dying, even at night. I did take jackets for everyone and NEVER used them!

Thanks! He does! I just wanted him to try them on so I could take a picture, but now he won't take them off.

Love it! She recently realized she's brown. Too cute!!

Thanks! Those are from the Disney Store. He can have whatever he can carry!! DS has so much junk, especially after his grandparents' visit last week.

I think that was my first and last taggie thing. I am not smart enough to hold them all in place and sew and stop, remove pins, etc., etc., etc. They're more than welcome to pry the drooly thing out of my nephew's monster grip if they feel the need. What about tags on clothes? Wouldn't that person have the true copyright?

 

[lovesdumbo]

Ohhh that is exciting...I will have to check out your outfits & hopefully we will cross paths while we are there. Are you planning any ADRs? I seriously need to get on that ASAP, I think Monday is my 90 mark!

So I guess I better get going on some of those huh??? I'm going with my friend Dorinda (been to Disney with her at least 8 times), her husband Ralph and just my oldest DD(10) Lizzy. Dorinda got a pin so we're getting free regular DDP. My DH doesn't care for Disney and I just can't get enough. We tend to go once a year as a family and then I take my kids one at a time. Anyways my DD thinks she's too old for customs but she still LOVES Pooh. I think she'll let me make her a few Pooh applique T's. I want to make her a "regular" Pooh T and maybe Dorinda, Ralph & I Eeyore, Piglet & Tigger for Crystal Palace. I also want to make Lizzy & I Pop T's and some sort of Christmas T. I want to make myself a Toy Story Mania T. I don't
know how I"m going to get it all done as I am coming up on my very busiest time at work so I'll be working extra hours soon.

My 90 days is Tuesday. I have given it some thought but I need to finalize it all this weekend. Dorinda has only requested Crystal Palace breakfast and Le Cellier so I guess I better get up early on Tuesday!!!

Have you seen this video on getting an ADR at Le Cellier? It is so funny!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jlfc8zZF7Wc

This week has been crazy for me. My DH's car died in the driveway Sunday night. His Mom lent him her car for the week so that was great but I have to say I do NOT enjoy the car shopping experience. We finally decided on a Toyota Venza-it is sort of a Camry wagon. We are picking it up Tuesday.

Then this weekend we set up the 2 twin beds we had into bunks for my girls. That left my DS(8) with his little sister's youth bed-not a toddler bed but a 63" long youth bed. He HATES it!!! And he's been telling me every night when he goes to bed and nearly every night around 3am. I couldn't buy a new twin until I knew for sure the bunks would work. So DH is going to pick up a twin matress set we ordered today-so at least he can use that until his new bed comes. We ordered him a desk too that he's going to love so in the end he'll come out well but the poor kid isn't too happy this week.

OH...and I hope to make my youngest a Vida for the first day of school Wednesday. She says back to school fabric was OK for Kindergarten but she needs something more grown up for 1st grade.

THE BIG SURPRISE IDEA...
Ok so I said that we were going to surprise the kids this weekend & let them know we are returning to Disney. Here is kind of what I am thinking of doing...I just finished combining all our Disney videos from the last trip onto 1 dvd so I thought I would have the kids sit down to watch the DVD & have movie night, maybe make them get out their mickey ears to watch the DVD too. Just to get more of the Disney spirit. Then since this is going to be the kids Christmas present from us I want to get a BIG box & put the big Mickey balloon in(they had it at our factory card outlet recently). So when they open the box, which will of course be wrapped with leftover Mickey Christmas wrapping paper, the balloon will come flying out. Then I want to make a sign or something for the bottom of the box or tied to the balloon that says "We are going to Disney".
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated! I want to make this trip awesome because I am sure I won't get another one for a LOOOONNNNGGGG time!

That sounds awesome!!!! I once read on the Dis about someone who ordered a Disney cake from the grocery store and instead of asking them to write "Happy Birthday" on the cake they had "We're going to Disney World" on it instead.

Here are some of the reasons I couldn't keep up this summer. First, visit from DD, DSIL and 4 DGD from Kansas. Inspired by this thread, I struggled to get these done: (didn't get a picture while they were here, this was taken on a too-sunny porch back home in KS!)

[/IMG]

One thing I learned from this is that it's not much fun making 4 dresses all the same! Christmas ones will be different patterns.
Then, while they were here we had a tie-dye day! We died about 25 shirts, all told. No actual action shots, but here some of us are wearing them!

[/IMG]

And last but definitely not least, the twins born July 31 needed some raggy quilts to snuggle up with. I also made some for my house just in case these get left at home.

[/IMG]

Now I've ordered tons more fabric and am planning dresses and nighties for Christmas!

WOW! Love everything but those twins are just too adorable!

We are back from Disney! We had a great time and the girls had so many compliments on their dresses. - The biggest hits were the Minnie & Mickey dresses, the Winnie the Pooh dresses and Evie's Dalmations outfit.
Here are a couple pictures
The Girls playing Peek-a-boo with Eeyore

My "Wild Animals"

And a pretty cool one I took of Juliet in front of "the big hat"

I will post the Minnie&Mickey pics soon - I still have to upload them to the computer.

Looks like you had a great time!

 

[kidneygirl]

I was hoping to stay caught up with this thread...then my dh's computer crashed and he has been using mine for the past week and a half. And, I still haven't gotten a new lens for my camera so I haven't taken pictures of the outfits I've been making for our Dec. trip. We're going to Myrtle Beach in a few weeks so I'm hoping to have a new lens by then!

My ds is only 8 months old and I'm already getting the baby itch again. However, I don't think I can emotionally go through the adoption process again. BUT...I was at my nephrologist's (my kidney doctor) this past week and he said my numbers are at a level where we could possibly try to get pregnant. However, I'm participating in a new anti-rejection drug study so I had to sign paperwork saying I wouldn't get pregnant. Oh, and I'd have to convince my dh to have another one and I don't think he'll go for it.

I'm at a loss of what to make for my ds. He'll be almost one when we go to Disney in Dec. and I've only made him one t-shirt with a Mickey head appliqued on it. He's growing like a weed so I don't want to make anything yet until we get closer to our trip so I know what size to make. But I don't really know what to make for him.

Now that I have my laptop back, I'm hoping to be more active in this thread!

 

[lovesdumbo]

I upgraded to photobucket pro and now I can't upload any pics. Not sure if I messed with the settings or what but I have a help ticket in....so I can't post pics here till it gets straightened out. I finished the Belle dress and wanted to show you it. I was able to get pics up on my blog so get on over there to see it!

Click here for my blog update~

WOW! Love that Bell dress!!

My mom always got the 3 girls in our family confused. My sister was Kathy, I am Karen and my little sister was Trisha. Let's see... I was called Karathy, I was called Krappy. And I was even called Trashy .... but very rarely was I called "Karen"

I was the youngest of 6 so I got called all sorts of things.

I am FREAKING out. My friend called me today and said "hey I just saw a great Disney deal. You want to take Katie and Adam for a week?". Of course I said yes, so we are going the week of October 4th. I have to get my girl some things made and fast.

I am in the process of making diaper wipes for a friend who is going to China to Adopt a her 14 year old daughter and while there she will be visiting her friend who along with her husband run a special needs orphanage. Long story short... the orphanages would love cloth wipes. So I am making them. I need to make Katie’s first day of pre-school dress and a weeks worth of Disney clothes. See what this thread has done to me. So I am back. And will be posting lots of pictures. Wish me luck!

How exciting about your trip!

Okay Ladies and Tom, I'm stumped!

I would like to, over the next months, take each of my daughters somewhere special for a "Mommy and Me" night. Emilee is almost 13 and will either go to TwilightCon or Phantom with me. Lizzie, almost 11, shocked the bejeezuz out of me and says she wants to go to AG place (she is my tomboy- I thought for sure she'd say a ball game!) But Hannah, age 8, is stuck! When I first asked her she said "The playplace at McDonalds!"

Any ideas? She's my little Diva and we are in MI. Being able to wear customs is always a plus! I'd prefer not an "outdoors" type of event as she has pretty bad asthma.

Do you have any places near you that do a fancy tea? You could get dressed up for that.

SO happy you hear you had your first at 26. I've been feeling a little older to have my first at 26 - so many people at church seemed to have started (or starting) younger (I had to wait for my all clear from cancer last year). Anyhow, I don''t think 26 is old to start AT ALL (My mo and MIL both started at 29). . . I just like to hear of others not starting at 20/22. . . . feel free to ignore. . . .I'm totally rambling now!

I had my first at 38 and 3rd at almost 42. I have been blessed with 3 incredibly healthy children. My oldest was exactly 15 months old on our 15th anniversary. My youngest was 21 months old the day before our 21st anniversary.

Ok everyone I need all the PRAYERS I can get you all to say for my firends little girl. She is just a few months older then Araeyah, and she has an older sister and a younger brother. (He is 2wks older then Attikus, we were prego at teh same time)

If you read this, please say a prayer, Bryanna. She is only 3. She has been admitted to ICU because of a brain bleed and possible stomach bleed. They are running more tests, but she definitely has a dangerously low plate...let count, and as of right now, the doctors do not seem to know why this is happening. I can't imagine how her parents feel - but I know I would need prayers

HEr platelet was at 2,000, the lowest it's been.

Prayers for Bryanna and her family!

Great News!

Dad got his biopsy on Wed done. We don't have the results yet, but the dr told him he didn't need to see him again for 6 months and everything looked fine. He doesn't see any reason why the results would be different!

That is so cool!!!

okay, finished for the day!
I posted this earlier today:

At least I thought it was sister's dress. Her mom said "Look, Olivia, it's your dress". Olivia told her mother "No it's not. My dress is Sally. I told Auntie I wanted Sally. That is NOT my dress."
Unfortunately, Auntie had already attached the applique to the bodice of the dress and there was no way it was coming off. Thankfully, the simply sweet bodice is the same front and back, so Auntie had a plan. I completed the dress:

But only after I appliqued Sally to the other side.

Now she has Sally on the front, Jack on the back, or whatever way she wants it!

These are for their Daddy's 40th birthday party tomorrow. They'll also wear them to Hollywood Studios in October.

LOVE the Vida! LOVE the Simply Sweet with Sally and Jack!!!

Finally! I've made something I actually have a model to wear!! I made these shorts for DS yesterday. He's been jumping around in them all morning, and they haven't fallen apart yet, so that's a good sign.

Here are the curtains I made out of his flat sheet:

I also made a little taggie thing for my three month old nephew. That was way more time consuming than I think it should have been. It's just a pillow with ribbon tabs, but it took me, like, thirty minutes!

Today I'm trying an applique. Hopefully I'll have something to post later.

Thanks for being inspiring!!

Those shorts and your DS are adorable. Great curtains too!

Update:

The 2nd catscan was the same so no emergency surgery. She is stable & her platelets have gone up. We will know more tomorrow. Thanks for all the prayers

I'm glad they didn't have to do emergency surgery! I'm praying for wisdom for the doctors and peace and comfort for the family! What a hard, scary thing to go through!

Unfortunately, Auntie had already attached the applique to the bodice of the dress and there was no way it was coming off. Thankfully, the simply sweet bodice is the same front and back, so Auntie had a plan. I completed the dress:

But only after I appliqued Sally to the other side.

Now she has Sally on the front, Jack on the back, or whatever way she wants it!

Quick thinking!! Good job!

and now, because I love you all so much, I'm sharing with you my latest find!
Here's a hint (and so you know the link is safe to click, lol!:

PRINCESS TIANA-
A really long time ago someone posted some pictures of her green? dress. And possibly a design for one? I would love to make Katie one for our trip. She has recently realized she is brown and I think this would be so nice for her. I can not wait for the movie. It is sure to be a treasure in our house.

Here is what appears to be the Disney Parks Princess Tiana dress: (how they presented her for the first time as a live character to the press)

And here are the Disney costumes for girls:

Those shorts and your DS are adorable. Great curtains too!

Thanks!!

OK, I'm on a roll...

Here's an applique shirt (I decided not to ruin it by trying to stitch around the tie) and some shorts. The legs look too skinny for a boy, I think, so I may have to give them to my little cousin. She's a year younger than DS, but pretty much the same size. I cut them the exact same size as I did the Cars shorts, but I must have allowed more on the seam. Oh, well, live and learn.

This was the design I came up with using a costume pattern for Tink as a base:
