Disboutiquers Part 18 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

I don't have time to go back and look through all the posts I missed but I wanted to let everyone know that I had the baby last week.
Megan Grace was born Friday Nov 20 at 4:22 am - 8 pounds 13 ounces and 23 inches. We are home and doing OK. Lauren is less than pleased right now but I am sure she will come around.

OH the girls and I were just ohhhing and ahhhhing over cute Megan...especially in her cute little hat!!! My Brooklyn has the same middle name! I call her Grace a lot actually! I am sure your girls will be very close and sisterly once Lauren gets used to things....that reaction is completely normal!!!! I hope you are taking it easy and resting!!!! Enjoy Thanksgiving and we loved the pics!!!

Hi all! I am mostly just a lurker, but I was hoping you all could provide me with some opinions. I made a spur of the moment buy today. I took my brother se270d to see why it couldn't read my amazing box card (the only card I have). To fix it would have been between $200-300 to replace the card reader. You can purchase a new one for $350 so didn't seem like a smart decision to me. So of course I start looking around and end up walking out with a very lightly used (85,000 stitches) Brother Innov-is 1200 for $699. I am almost afraid to be excited because I'm not sure if I made a good decision or not. I NEVER buy anything like this without researching it thoroughly first. I did some Internet searching, but I couldn't find much. It has everything it came with originally, most still wrapped up, and also the double sized hoop where you can do the second desIgn without rehooping. Does anyone have this machine or know anything about it?

Thanks!
Krista

Thats probably a very good deal! I dont know how much they cost new but if its has a 5 x 7 hoop and connects to the computer with a usb....then its a great deal!!!

Santa doesn't wrap in our house. I know lots of folks think that opening the gifts is part of the fun but it works out really well for us.

Gifts were never wrapped when DH was growing up, and since he's the youngest of 5, I now realize his mother was brilliant. But we started the tradition, so I guess it needs to continue.

What a beautiful baby! And, the picture of the 3 of you is gorgeous!

She will come around... just give her special time and the big sister role. They will be best buds in no time.

I love babies

How come everytime I bake I want to be sewing? Cheesecakes, apple/pumpkin/cherry pies and I just want to play with my new designs from Heather. Wonder if I could figure out how to get the emb machine in the kitchen? lol - Right next to big red and pearl (the mixers) could go futie the machine.

I think I have snapped.....

What size is your DD? I have a Chip and Dale overall dress you could have, if you're interested. I believe it's a 2T. I may have a pic in photobucket. Lemme go look. . .

OK - pictures -

My daughter wore this to the campfire, also.

just sent you a pm

Oh soooo sweet! My best friend's DD's are named Lauren and Megan (they are spelled the same too). Lauren will come around. We had the same thing with our DGD's and now they are 4 and 2 and couldn't be closer.

For my niece's this year I bought them each a new lunch bag and put their gift inside it (Croc Mamoths and Disney PJ's).

I have tried for birthday's and other gifts to make the wrapping part of the gift. One of the daycare children got a mesh bag (beach bag) with swim shorts, water shoes and lip balm for his birthday.

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

Can you talk to her and see how serious she is about having the twins? Is it want because BS has them? I think since her other sib sisters have them, how can you not let her have an AG also? Can you give her one of the twins for her Bday, and then the other for Xmas?

She does mention she wants them especially since seeing santa on friday (either them or a bitty baby but she already has a bitty baby so I don't want to buy another one of those!). I just don't know if she would be just as happy with a baby from another store or not. I have the stuff in my cart right now on their website since they have the free shipping through tonight but I just can't decide if I should go through with it or not!!!!! AHHH!!! Her older sister has them because her grandma and grandpa bought them for her but they aren't offering this time around!

Hi Everyone, it has been so long since I posted, but finally have a completed project. This is the outfit I did for Alyssa's Big Give. I did a double layer twirl skirt, an appliqued shirt and a skirt for her bitty baby. I love the skirt, it turned out so cute, I am not an applique expert, makes me want an embroidery machine even more. But I had a lot of fun working on it !!

In this bottom picture you can see the bitty baby skirt I also made. DD had a ball modeling, it is a little big for her, but I love how it turned out.

So cute! Great job!!

Has anyone thought of New Years yet!!

Love the pic, Lori! She looks amazing! And I love the dress too- although I'm still trying to finish Thanksgiving stuff LOL.

She's so beautiful! Lauren will come around, I promise. Really, a sibling seems like a really bad deal to a toddler- mom and dad have a lot less time, they always have something else in their hands, they're tired and cranky, and that new baby is soooooooo not like the doll they were expecting- they cry a lot and smell funny. Plus, what's so necessary about a new baby anyway- wasn't "I" enough for you? She'll come around, I know you're doing a great job making her feel special and included. It's just a huge change.

What beautiful babies have arrived lately! I have a trick that really helps sibling relationships.

Stepping off my soapbox to say that I haven't been sewing lately, arthritis is having a lot of fun playing with my hands (and other body parts.) I have been reading and loving all that you are making. I have had Carla's pattern and the material to make my daughter a dress since July and haven't done it--she turned 42 in August.....maybe I'll have it done for her 43rd!

Piper, sorry you're not feeling well; I'm sending prayers and pixie dust that your arthritis pain abates.

Congratulations! What beautiful pictures. Did you make the pumpkin hat? It's adorable. Such beautiful little girls.

When Ethan was born Abby liked doing little jobs for me, like picking out an outfit to change him into, or bringing me a new diaper for him, picking up a burp cloth I had dropped. I also talked to her about how when she was a baby I did the same things for her, like nurse her, bathe her, kiss her etc. It reminded her that I cared for her too.

Congratulations and Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Just a quick update--I bought the lavender Disney princess print cotton fabric, complete with sparkles, from Hobby Lobby today. DD was all smiles and giggles and soooooo excited. No mention was made of the earlier conversation ("Hannah doesn't like Cars, can you make me a princess dress?"), but she did mention that "The bad girls (which includes Hannah) didn't like my turkey." She was wearing a ribbon sculpture turkey clippie that I'd made her. It doesn't seem to bother her, though. I mean, she mentions the comments, but goes on being her happy bubbly self. I hope she stays self-confident like this.

SO, what to make??? A-line or Simply Sweet? A-line pro: would show off the print well and I can make one in a couple hours, con: I've made her 3 A-lines already. Simply sweet pro: fun and twirly, and still relatively easy to make, con: would the folds of the dress hide the princess print too much?

Also, I made DS a tie from fabric with pilgrim hat-wearing turkeys on it. I used the patchwork kids pattern from YCMT. I am so spoiled by Carla's patterns--this one seeming confusing and disappointing in comparison. He loved it and just had to wear it to school yesterday! Look past the goofy hair-do....he gave himself a haircut at school with his safety scissors and cut all the hair across his forehead down to 1/4 inch and we are still in the growing it out phase.

Congrats! Love this picture!!! My favorite pictures are the ones I have of the kids holding their new siblings in the hospital Hope everyone is adjusting and getting some sort of sleep

I am the youngest of 6.

LOVE the tie!!! I think you would still see the fabric on a simply sweet but have you ever considered making a Vida? It isn't much harder than the A-line.

We are getting Christmas pictures taken tomorrow. I had already finished the feliz for DD so I decided to make a Christmas bowling shirt for DS.


The front

the back

 

[PrincessKell]

Thanks ladies. I will finish those pants up tomorrow. Princess Peach is visiting grandma this week and her dad will be there friday. It will be her first full weekend with her dad in nearly six months. Good thing he is living at grandmas. I plan on sewing her Christmas this week for her AG doll.

Great outfits made by all -- sorry no time to comment individually. I'm very behind on sewing, have company coming over tomorrow and an extremely messy house and I work today! I have officially decided I will NOT get done with all my sewing I will have outfits for dd for all character meals though and have shirts for ds for two of them (he's not a character fan so it's not a big deal). I need to get two other shirts painted for him though and finish up my items for dd and make MVCP outfits for both (which I'm not sure I'll get done either). I also subscribed to TGM a couple of months ago and the only planning I've done with it is park days. I am hoping work is slow today so I can look at that!

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!!!! I am thankful to all of you for the inspiration and encouragement you have given me in sewing

Has anyone ever made a table cloth? I have 2 yards of some Debbie Mumm Thanksgiving fabric that would be really sweet as a table cloth. Should I just hem the edges? Is there anything else that should be done?

I did a rolled edge on mine years ago and still love it. And my dining room table is oblong, so I rounded the corners.

Have fun!

LOVE the turkey tie! and have fun with the princess fabric. I don't think the princesses get lost in a full skirt.....

So glad I found you all! I'm a bit of sewing addict (or so the embarassing stash of fabric in my garage says) and excited to see all of your neat projects. Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to find a pattern for a cute cotton princess dress that could be worn comfortably all day. I've seen some really cute Cinderella and Belle ones on here, but I wasn't sure if it was a pattern, or just amazing talent.

I need about a 4t and 18 mo. Oh, and we leave in January!! Nothing like a last minute trip! Thanks.
