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

[Tink561]

Totally photoshopped. I "made" that way back months ago before I even had a sewing machine! And I believe the Germans (I'm 25%!) get their princess in 2011- Isn't Rapunzel thought to be German in origin?

Isn't Snow White German? She is usually in Germany at Epcot, or does that really mean anything?

I love that my daughter has Mulan to look up to but she is way more interested in Aurora. I think it is her pink dress.

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.

I love the Jack/Sally dress; those are so awesome!

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!!

Cute! I love the artwork, too...

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

Great job! I'm sure Revrob will post a version soon that will be fab, too! She and Tom always find awesome wearable versions of the princesses.

I got this:

I've never heard personally of ANYONE seeing her at the parks...um, and what attractions does she have?!?!?

(Her World dress isn't any better:

Wow; at least she's gorgeous!

So, my american friends. I have a question to ask. I am making up some cards for the Women of Faith conference next year and have run into a spelling dilemma. Most of the cards are for Canadian friends. There are a few though, who are american. The problem is the quotes on them contain the words color and honor. In Canada (and Britain) we spell that colour and honour. My question is this.... Do Americans know that we spell them this way or will they think I've made an error in having them printed?
I hate to have someone think I can't spell (it's my own little pet peeve) but I don't know if they will be seen as a spelling error or just Canadian.
Help!! Thanks!!

I'm not generalizing here, it's certainly not all americans by any means, but yes,I think at least a fair number of them would assume you were spelling incorrectly. I've lived overseas and have an Irish husband though, so I see that spelling all the time.

Here are photos of the AK outfits. DH agrees to wear customs if they are subtle and simple.

Those are awesome!!!

Here are a few pics from diner at the Garden Grill the night before we left.

Joci being a goof with her Aunt Leann

Here are pics of the girls in their Mickey & Minnie Dot dresses. I rec'd so many compliments on them and a couple moms asking where in WDW I bought them. And even a couple telling me I should sell them. WE even were getting compliments on the plane home! The girls wore the pettis until about 2 hrs after breakfast. We had fast passes from DVC for adding on that we got 3 immediate FP which was great on our last couple hours in the park. We went to Monsters Laugh Floor as the last thing we did in the MK before we left and when Marty came out he wanted to talk to a kiddo - Juliet is who they picked! She was so excited. Then they showed me and said " and you brought the queen!" ( I was wearing Joci's tiara because I didn't want it to get squashed in the luggage)
We had a really great last day! And very little rain that day!

Glad that DH told me I can take the girls back in May with my friend from work. Amber is 23? and I have been working with her since she was 17. She is so excited to go - she has always offered to be our "babysitter" on trips and DH said he was ok if just the girls went so we are going! Now if I can just keep the secret! We are going to suprise them!

I love the pic of you and your DD, and the girls looked amazing in their CM dresses; no wonder you got so many great comments! Congrats on the new trip!

Hey, stop complaining; You have a german princess already, Snow White; I want to know where the Irish princess is

Those pictures are really neat. The curtains turned out really nicely and your little boy is adorable it looks like he loves his new shorts!

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!

For little boys you can make rompers of course there is a pattern for them on You Can Make This . com and you can make him a bowling shirt, again try the pattern on You Can Make This . com. . . notice a trend here

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.

Cute shorts! I love the tie applique tee shirt.

So, my american friends. I have a question to ask. I am making up some cards for the Women of Faith conference next year and have run into a spelling dilemma. Most of the cards are for Canadian friends. There are a few though, who are american. The problem is the quotes on them contain the words color and honor.

Help!! Thanks!!

I know that British and Canadians spell things differently and they use different terms like the boot of the car instead of the trunk. . . but I don't know how many Americans are aware of it. I think I would print the American Spelling on things to give out to Americans but if it is an added expense for just a few people, I wouldn't worry about it.

I love the Zebra print customs!

My cleaned up sewing stuff:

Great Job organizing!

HELP me before I jump out the window...

I have a Futura Emb Machine and it uses the .fut extension for designs. I have been trying to use .pes designs on it but there is a marked difference in the quality of the designs - trailing stitches and stuff like that.

Anyone have the Futura or experience using other file types that could help me understand which ones I can use with this machine? Usually the ones I download have .hus or .p something else but they don't want to work so well. I have never found a .fut file for sale.

Can you help me understand this? I have googled my ears off and I still don't have a clue and the book that came with this doesn't tell me what I can use and what I can't use.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Someone on this thread recommended using the .dst files for the Futura. I have been using it and it works great!

Here are a few pics from diner at the Garden Grill the night before we left.

I love your pictures! Your little girls are adorable. How exciting to be planning another trip. I love your Tiara!

You are SUPPOSED to be able to use all the file types, BUT I have had some bad luck with .pes as well. If the designer offers it I usually get .XXX files. I have much better luck with them. Some designers .pes files work fine (I do ok with stitch on time), but others just go wonky on me. I think part of it ias the fact that the hoop is not quite 5x7 so I have to size down by about 2% on a 5x7 design. Sometimes it seems to cause problems with the design. HTH

Have you tried .dst? I have had good results using those files. I have also had to size down some things.

I do that quite often.

What I do is figure out how long the skirt is going to be. Then, I take that amount and divide it by the number of ruffles I want to have (I usually do 4). I then add 1/4" onto that for the top seam and about 1/4" for the bottom hem.

I make the strips about 1 1/2 to 2 times the width of the back of the skirt. (I use Carla's measurements for the skirt on this one). The top ruffle does not have to be fuller, because it will be gathered into the skirt.


(did that make ANY sense???)

I also cut out three attachemtne pieces the same width as the ruffles, but only the length of the back of the skirt that Carla gives. I sew the ruffles and attachment pieces together, then sew up the skirt as if that were just one piece of fabric. (I sew the ruffles into the side of the skirt).

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that didn't make much sense! If you have Carla's Portrait Peasant, she has great ruffle directions, that's what I based mine on. I can try to help you some more if you would like, just PM me.

Actually that made perfect sense! Thanks!

 

[emcreative]

Does anyone happen to have (or know where to find relatively inexpensively) some of this?

 

[adoptionmomma4]

I tell my students that everyone is just a different shade of brown. Some of us are very light brown and some of us are darker brown. And even the light brown people have dark brown freckles or moles!

That is so sweet. I will tell Katie that next time she says something to me.

I can't wait to see your version!
I posted last night in this thread about how and when Tiana will be in the parks, let me know if you need me to scan back and find it. You can find the post by the big picture of Tiana's face
I'm so so so excited for an African American princess (I know, shocker to all on the board who have seen me post 5 million pictures of her!), AND that the story takes place in New Orleans. I was there before Katrina and I looooved my visit (well, all except the episode with John Cusack's butt ). I am kinda wondering why Naveen isn't also African American, but I'm hoping something in the story will make it make sense.

I am going to go back and look for that post. I can not wait for the movie to come out!!! I am pretty excited about Toy Story 3 too.

I am going to get the stuff for my version soon. I forgot the picture of yours when I went to the fabric store today. I spent $100 and had 2- 50% off, 2- 40% off, 2- 30% off coupons and my 15% teacher discount. I am in so much trouble. I think I am going to wait on the fabric for Tiana until next week. I have to spread the spending around a little. I will not be breaking the news to DH that I did a little ETSY shopping as well today. I have very little time.

At least she gets a pretty outfit!!

Half of me is an ugly fringe dress (and a heroine who abandons her people and dies) and the other half wears a red muumuu (and her only friend is an alien).

True

I got this:

I've never heard personally of ANYONE seeing her at the parks...um, and what attractions does she have?!?!?

(Her World dress isn't any better:

She is beautiful. We saw her at the park at MGM in 2003. When they had all of the characters in the middle by the Sorcerer Mickey Hat.

 

[karamat]

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.

ha ha ha!! I was 13 when my brother was born and he would call me his "other mother".

Help!! Thanks!!

I would know that it is a correct spelling, but I work with Canadians and Brits.

 

[itsheresomewhere]

Rapunzel is thought to be german but is also claimed by other European countries particuly Italy and France.

I have so much to finish before the 9th. I have to finish a minnie dress, 2 wonder pets dresses, a birthday dress and goodness knows what else.


Anyone see any ugly step sisters scrapbooking stuff ? I need to finish my autograph books and can't find anything of them in the store.

I saw a dress very similar to this one on this thread. I wish I knew who posted it, so I could give them credit. I promise to do better in the future.
And I decided I had to show everyone a picture of Miss Maddie. She is in her room crying right now because she had to take off her new dress. It has no buttons yet, and I didn't want her to be poked with the pins. Two year olds have wonderful attitudes.

Thanks you!! I wish they would license their fabric. So many other schools are available but not Ohio State!

Oh thank you!!

no problem.

I know I'm probably CRAZY for even thinking this. . .but, does anyone know approximately how many yards it takes to make a pettiskirt? I will probably make it about 12 inches long. My dd is turning 4 and I've been making size 5's in SS and Easy fits, if that makes a difference.

Thanks!!

So wonderful!!! Great job organizing too!

Hey, stop complaining; You have a german princess already, Snow White; I want to know where the Irish princess is

I'm 75% Irish too-but 25% German.

I am pretty excited about Toy Story 3 too.

Can't wait for that! Will you go see the Toy Story 1 & 2 double feature in 3D that is coming out I think around the holidays?

My picture isn't there. let me try again.

SO cute!!!!

I'm in search of a particular fabric I saw on etsy. Can I post a link to it? It's not the actual fabric for sale, it's a shirt made out of the fabric. I'm searching online and can't find this fabric. It's so pretty! Can someone tell me if it's ok to post the link or not? Tia!!!!!

 

[teresajoy]

Isn't Snow White German? She is usually in Germany at Epcot, or does that really mean anything?

I love that my daughter has Mulan to look up to but she is way more interested in Aurora. I think it is her pink dress.

I was thinking Snow White was too.

You gotta love a pink dress!

I really love the Mulan at Epcot. She is such a sweet heart!

Actually that made perfect sense! Thanks!

I'm glad!! Because I kept thinking about it, and I wasn't sure how anyone would understand that!

About a pound and a half worth.

At least that's about what they weigh when I ship them out.

You aren't suppose to post links right to Etsy or Ebay. Could you describe it real well?

UPDATE:

Bryanna's count is up to 400,000! She will hopefully be moved out of ICU monday.



She is still not out of the woods. They are weaning her off of her platlets they were giving herv in the IV. There is talk of removing her spleen, they still don't know what is causing this!
