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

[emcreative]

I have NO hope of catching up in this thread. The Christmas outfits posted lately are SO cute. And where is the Princess Tiana fabric hiding?

As one of the Facebookers mentioned, things have been busy here and we did get a new puppy. She was a gift from my hubby for Christmas!

The girls named her Isabella Garcia-Shapiro Mason.

As you can see the girls are spoiling her rotten. Hannah even has to dress her and "do her hair" on occasion.

Isabella likes to hang out right by the foot pedal when I sew. The noise of the machines don't bother her one bit, as you can see:

Here is my latest project- Thanksgiving shirts for all 5 kiddos. Thanks to HeatherSue for the designs (except for the lame-o leaf on Draykey's little shirt...I know if it were Heather's it would be better! That's just something that came with the machine, the girls designed Draykey's shirt)

I had hoped to do at least easy-fits for the boys, but that's not happening. Y'all know I have the sewing talent of a gnat, so it's WORK for me to do even those, and as I've used up my stress quotient for this year AND the next I decided to let it go! Looks like we'll have bottoms ranging from sweats to a black petti.


What's on y'all's project list next? I need to make a few Princess Tiana shirts for the movie- I had grand outfits planned in my head, and even the materials, but I'm just not sure I can get those done PLUS something for everyone to wear Christmas Eve!

Marah; your new addition is so cute!!! How's Hannah doin? She looks tired in the pic; is her asthma doing ok? I love the family t-s- I feel like such a failure right this minute because I meant to do outfits for the kids and time got away from me; plus I'm trying to get as much prepped as I can because I'm working part of tomorrow and we're hosting and of course the house is a mess because it's been crazy busy- so, um, nada on the whole thanksgiving front. I'm just bummed because I have the idea in my head, but just can't make it happen- sigh. Anyway, I'm continuing to work on finishing my Tiana dress for Caitie and shirt for Danny and I'm trying to make Christmas Eve pj's for the whole family, so I'll focus on that.

She is so adorable!!!!!

Love your shirts!

Let see on my list-I've already made 4 name pillows-want to make 2 more, and American Girl Doll vida, a Christmas Minnie Mouse T, a quilted Jacket, and 1 more hot pad.....that is all before my trip (have you seen my ticket) I also want to make 3 easy fit PJ pants for my kids, and applique T's to match would be nice, an apron for my sister in law, a bag for her too, a fleece shawl for my mother in law, mittens and hats for the kids, a quilt I promosed DD last Christmas....all for Christmas. THEN....I have to make a few costumes for my youngest's 7th birthday trip 1/22.


OH...and I have to pack!!!! AND...make back ups of my photos before I erase my memory cards, charge batteries, order my mother in law a photobook (upload photos first...), run some month end reports for work, and go Black Friday shopping all before Monday.

I'll get done what I can and not worry about what I can't do.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Anyone have any Thanksgiving Eve traditions? DH and I always go to a movie on Thanksgiving Eve - they have ranged from Aladdin to Old Dogs, which we saw tonight! What fun!!

LOVE all the holiday outfits posted - and that puppy is adorable Marah!!

Here are the thanksgiving shirts I made for the kids - pilgrim by Claire, and words by Heather....I was supposed to match, but the machine ate my shirt and popped the hoop off and I couldnt recover from that!!

Now to start Christmas projects!! Anyone else hitting Joann's for 1.49 flannel on friday? What size rag quilt would you make for a child or an adult?

Anyway, I'm continuing to work on finishing my Tiana dress for Caitie and shirt for Danny and I'm trying to make Christmas Eve pj's for the whole family, so I'll focus on that.

Hey now, cut yourself some slack on the Thanksgiving thing, you are BUSY girl! I only got these done because I don't work outside the house and the girls only had a half day of school today so they could help with the boys (and I'm not hosting Thanksgiving and I'm cheating by bringing SALAD). I can't wait to see what you come up with for the Tiana dress! Did you see the new one they posted up at the Disney site? Luckily Hannah has her beautiful dress from Crystal so at least she will be good to go if I don't get to the other girls. I have fabric to make them all Flannel pj pants for Christmas morning, but we'll see if I ever get to that. I can't wait to see your pjs!!!

Thanks for asking about my little diva. You can really see in her face when she's not well, can't you? It's actually one of the warning signs for her at school- when Hannah looks pale and stops talking all the time, she's VERY SICK! Hannah's asthma has been touch and go the last month. We got H1N1 here so that hurt...then everyone got secondary infections (colds, etc) so that added to it. So far we've managed (knock on wood and say a prayer) to keep her out of the ER and no hospital stays yet, just a few scary moments and days of around the clock breathing treatments. She is usually in the ER about 4-5 times a winter, with one extended stay of 4-6 days each year. The worst for her is the cold (yay Michigan), it's been warm here so far but who knows how long it will last? Extreme temperature changes don't help either, and it's supposed to get a lot colder and rainy/snowy the next few days, so I'm not gonna be surprised if we end up at the hospital some time in the next week.

She isn't letting it stop her, though- she made the dance team! Well, she actually made THREE dance teams (every team they ended up running for kids her age Sorry, proud momma moment) That makes me think of this picture...Isabella seems to really like to cuddle Hannah when she's not feeling her best- here they are after a dance team practice on a "not so good" day:

So, now you go put your feet up and don't think another moment about Thanksgiving clothing, you're doing enough!

She is so adorable!!!!!

Love your shirts!

Okay your list alone made me tired. Serious. I need a nap now! I don't know how you get all that done but I bet you will!! I'm already stressing about getting clothes done for a trip December '10!

Will you post up pictures of the AG Vida when you're done? Two of my girlies are getting AG dolls for Christmas (Hannah is getting Julie, and Emmy is getting a "Young Abby" from NCIS! Here's the start,complete with farting hippo:

But other than putting "NCIS" on her lab coat, I don't think I'll get any clothes made for them before Christmas

What is the hot pad you are making?

I do NOT want a puppy!!!!!!!

She is so adorable! She looks so comfortable and comforting!!!

Your NCIS AGD is so cute! Have you seen the free pattern on ycmt for the AGD wrap skirt? It is REALLY easy!

I will post if I make the AGD Vida. I've reduced the pattern on a copier-it seems like I got the size right compared to Carla's Aline pattern but I have to add seam allowance. It won't fit together perfectly if I don't do the seam allowance.

The hot pad is another free ycmt pattern-it is a pot holder. I've made my niece and her 6 year old matching aprons and I made 1 pot holder but don't I really have to make 2? I really didn't enjoy making the first one.

I doubt I will get the Minnie T made. I made one for my DD and while it looks pretty good but I can see the imperfections. It was a real challenge for me. I had planned to make one for me to match but I don't know if I have it in me.

Great Job Wendy!!!! I know a little girl who needs an "Aunt" Wendy (I don't embroider LOL)

How was Old Dogs? I have seen the previews and it looks really funny.

 

[emcreative]

Those look fantastic, Wendy!!!



Oh, have y'all seen this yet? I haven't seen anything like it in promos for the movie, though, so I'm not sure where it fits

 

[luvinyou]

Just popping in to say

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Hope you have a joyful, blessed day with family and loved ones. Don't forget to count those blessings!!

Just the QUEEN I was looking for! Do you have any new smokin' deals for the Cricut? I bought the machine and a couple cartridges, and now need more!

 

[jessica52877]

Just the QUEEN I was looking for! Do you have any new smokin' deals for the Cricut? I bought the machine and a couple cartridges, and now need more!

Not the queen, but does the princess count? LOL! I almost posted this yesterday on your facebook page.

www.customcrops.com

Karen posted it last year and I have used it I think 2x since then. Great prices pretty much all the time though! Now if only I would do something with my cricut!

I also have sure cuts alot and so does Karen. It is a fun program. I haven't done much as far as making my own images (just Minnie once) but I use it all the time for fonts.

Also check the cricut website for any deals running if you buy a cricut. Last year I got mine on BF at Walmart (way after the fact - no running out early for me) but then I found on their website that if I bought between a certain date that I got two free cartridges! One was community workers and the other was a font I think.

 

[Stephres]

I The hot pad is another free ycmt pattern-it is a pot holder. I've made my niece and her 6 year old matching aprons and I made 1 pot holder but don't I really have to make 2? I really didn't enjoy making the first one.

Ha! I was thinking of making two for my mom for Christmas and after I read the pattern decided I didn't want to, lol. First, I have to go out and get stuff, I hate that. When I decide I want to do something I don't want to go hunt for special items. And it's stuff I have never bought before so I'll be running all over joanns looking for it; just not looking forward to it. Maybe I will be more inspired when we are off for Christmas break.

I did get a lot accomplished this break though. I made coasters for Megan's teacher:

I made Megan pjs to match the ones I made for myself. We found this cute squirrel shirt at Target:

Oh, and Megan has discovered Claire's. She loves to spend her allowance in there. She bought that panda eye thing there and wears it every night. She thinks it's hilarious to take her picture when she is wearing it. It does NOT make her sleep later in the morning, as I hoped.

I also make her a Christmas nightgown:

And me matching pjs pants. Jacob did not want any.

And a little horsey poncho! She loves the pom poms! It was a Simplicity pattern, which were $1.99 this week.

That's it! We are off to Tallahassee for the weekend. Have a great Thanksgiving!

Your shirts are so cute! So sorry your machine ate your shirt.

I'll be at JoAnn's. Last year I was the first one in line and I had already been to Kohl's first. I don't know if I'll do Kohl's this year but I have to go to JoAnns. I want to get some fleece to my my mother in law a shawl and some flannel for PJ pants not a rag quilt. I've only made a doll size rag quilt. It is going to be very rainy here-maybe that will keep the crowds down.

Love everything! Love that nightgown! Love the poncho and the pom poms!

The insulated batting was right with the interfacing right next to the cutting table at my JoAnn's but I did have to search a bit more to find the warm & natural batting by the yard. I struggled with getting the bias binding on perfectly and I like things perfect! I was thinking I would try taping the bias binding on with wonder tape. I will let you know if it works.

!

So cute! What kind of puppy is she?

Now to start Christmas projects!! Anyone else hitting Joann's for 1.49 flannel on friday? What size rag quilt would you make for a child or an adult?

Ooooo...I need some flannel for pj's for my family! I so need someone to watch my girls tomorrow morning!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

 

[Granna4679]

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my Disboutiquer friends. Hope you have a great day!!

Anyone else hitting Joann's for 1.49 flannel on friday? What size rag quilt would you make for a child or an adult?

Sorry.... but you couldn't PAY me to get in that line at the cutting counter tomorrow! Not to mention the line at the check-out soon after... I have a love/hate relationslhip with that place.........

I would LOVE to get some $1.49 flannel for some PJ pants, but I have HUGE crowd anxiety...I'm skipping Black Friday altogether tomorrow.

 

[billwendy]

Great Job Wendy!!!! I know a little girl who needs an "Aunt" Wendy (I don't embroider LOL)

How was Old Dogs? I have seen the previews and it looks really funny.

I love to be Aunt Wendy!!!! I will never be a "real" aunt because I dont have any siblings, and my DH's sister has Down Syndrome So, I adopt all the "neices and nephews" I can!!!

We thought Old Dogs was really funny - some typical boy humor, but cute overall. The crowd i was with laughed a LOT!!

Sorry.... but you couldn't PAY me to get in that line at the cutting counter tomorrow! Not to mention the line at the check-out soon after... I have a love/hate relationslhip with that place.........

I dont have to get in line - lol - I make DH get in line with the cart!!!
Any thoughts on the Ott lights on sale there for $20? Are they worth it, or should I just get some desk lamps for my sewing area?

If you make the AG vida, I would so appreciate if you would post- even better if you could possibly do a tute w/ the pattern My DD would go nuts if her AG could match her Christmas Vida, and I'm pretty sure I have enough fabric and trims to do it.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

They came out cute! I love the gobble gobble. We usually clean the house thanksgiving eve and get a start on the food prep. I'll be at Joann's, but not until after Walmart and ToysRus. I don't think I'll be getting anything cut, though. I want a tree (I've already got 8, but of course I "need" a bigger Mouseketree, I only have a 4 ft, and I really want a 7 ft; I rearranged the family room to make room for it and everything LOL); we're looking at a TV, blue ray, and cricut expression at Walmart (I have the old cricut, but would love the bigger expression if I happen to get one); we'll just see what happens!

Hey now, cut yourself some slack on the Thanksgiving thing, you are BUSY girl! I only got these done because I don't work outside the house and the girls only had a half day of school today so they could help with the boys (and I'm not hosting Thanksgiving and I'm cheating by bringing SALAD).

I bought a similar one last year and like it. I am going to buy another one for my DD's desk this year and a floor lamp.

Only two hours left until "The Surprise"

I knew y'all would understand, I'm so so excited- in only two hours we're surprising the kids and telling them about our June Disney trip - it's to celebrate their birthdays, and we want them to pick their special day- restaurants, etc. so I need them to know before we make ADR's- plus, when we actually surprised them on the day with the last trip, it was a disaster- apparently surprising a kiddo with autism and changing their routine on a dime is not necessarily the best plan (oops). So this time they're helping with the planning. I've been afraid to hope for a trip since we had to cancel the last one, but things are going really well with my job, so it's all systems go!!

We decided to have Mickey(DS has an almost 4 foot stuffed one) as a guest at the table; and he's carrying 2 handmade invitations (thanks to the cricut) for Danny and Caitie to join him and Minnie in June.

Almost time! Boy, do I have a lot to be thankful for!
