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

[lovesdumbo]

So we got home and not a month later infact a week before Thanksgiving my DH was told Kelloggs has Restructured and neither He or the 10 other supervisors on 3rd shift fit into their plan, some of the people had over 10 years seniority.

We are trying to find a way to stay here in Georgia because the kids do not want to move, plus our Family is here. It was just a huge shock and one we were not really prepared for.

Love all your photos but that one is a really great shot!!!!

for your DH and for you! Hope he finds something quickly!!!

OMG!!!!! That was us at Ohana. My DD was in the white dress with the red and black hawaiian panels. It was a semi case from one someone made for an erlier trip. I noticed your girls as well while taking DD to the restroom and meant to say something about their outfits but never did. We had a table over at the windows facing the castle. The lady that seated us had a fit over her dress and had us wait while she "cooked up something special" which was our castle view table. She made a point of taking DD to meet the "ohana lady" and showing her the dress. Here is a pic of it:

We also saw you guys earlier in the day at the MK. I think DD was dressed like a pirate at that point. She had 3 outfits for that day. (I promise I don't do that every day!) We had b'fast at CP, pirate's league and Ohana that day and it was our last day. I think we may have been right behind you going through mickey's house. The lady in the doorway in your pic looks suspiciously like the lady that was with the kids wreaking havoc in minnie's kitchen whe we were there. There were like 20 of them packed into the kitchen setiing everything off over and over and screaming.

While I am at it here is a pic of her belle dress with Belle and the beast in France:

It was a really special meet. Belle had on her cape when we walked up, and ended up taking it off nad eventually putting it on dd. She posed her with just the Beast and told her she was going to take a break. The Beast played into it beautifully.

I've been skimming and lurking today. But, I had to comment on this! How cool that both of you were at Ohana at the same time- and you both made outfits with my designs!! That makes me so happy!!

If there is anyone in Disney now -can someone pick something up for me? I am looking for the Holiday Tink Kooky pen - a single, if possible and a Buzz Lightyear or Star Wars one. If anyone can help me please PM me.
Thanks,

I posted alittle last night from Tyler's wrestling practice, Boy have the past 3 months been a dooozy
First we had a wonderful time in Disney we went on the Sleepy Hallow Carriage ride, rented a Pontoon boat at Fort Wilderness, ate dinner at Wispering Canyon (where they sang Happy Birthday to Tyler) Sci Fi diner, Rainforest Cafe. It was a wonderful Vacation.

So we got home and not a month later infact a week before Thanksgiving my DH was told Kelloggs has Restructured and neither He or the 10 other supervisors on 3rd shift fit into their plan, some of the people had over 10 years seniority.

We are trying to find a way to stay here in Georgia because the kids do not want to move, plus our Family is here. It was just a huge shock and one we were not really prepared for.

I love your pictures it sounds like a great trip.
I am sorry about your DH's job.I hope things work out so you can stay.

My BIL did the same thing to his wife of 30 years. He left her for her best friend two weeks before their daughter's wedding. My BIL is my DH brother. We were so disgusted with him. My SIL will always be part of the family. My BIL is not the same with the family. He lost everything precious to him by his own choice. My DH is closer to his SIL than his brother now. She will always be part of this family. It was very hard to cope with at first but she did what she had to do and now she is fine. It is a horrible cituation but it is possible to get past. Hang in there. Support her and love her and listen to her vent when she needs to. Pray for her and with her. Just be there for her and give her lots of hugs. She will be fine. I still sometimes believe the nerve of my BIL and his new wife. If I cheated on with my BEST FRIENDS husband I would never show my face again much less show up on holidays like it is so normal. He did marry her but my kids don't claim her as an aunt the respect her because she is an adult and that is about it. They love their other aunt more and will always be loyal to her. When they split up my little boy was six. When we told him he cried so much. When he calmed down he said, " Who is going to make the rice dressing now? " He loves his aunts rice dressing. She still make him some every holiday. LOL

Her DH wants to stay with the mistress too. DH's sister wants them to stay married. She says she wants to keep her marriage together. Today she sent me a text asking me to pray that he chooses her.

Sorry, Nancy, don't know how I missed this. Thank you!!! How is your SIL?

She was doing really badly yesterday. Today she says she wants to fight for her marriage. Her DH wants to move in with the mistress.

Oh no; I'll be praying for the family.

Thank you. I will keep you in my prayers as well. I hope things don't get to stressful at your house.

Not in Disney, but just wanted to say that if no one can pick one up for you, they have them for sale on disneyshopping.com. I ordered some as stocking stuffers, but I can't remember if they have a tink one.

So....should I downgrade and get the little SE-35 or just wait until I can afford the 770 without feeling guilty about it. I REALLY want to embroider but I am afraid I will be settling with the little guy.

All advice welcomed and needed. TIA

MMM

I'd try to hold off for the 770. Did you ask in the shop? Sometimes they have a payment plan. It won't take you long to learn the machine, and wish you waited for the larger hoop.

They say when one door closes, another one opens. Let us know how everything goes. I hope you find a great door.

Nancy---Wow, good for her. He isn't going to make it easy though, is he.

 

[ireland_nicole]

Well ladies, there's nothing like waiting til the last minute to finish, but I did get the rincess and the frog customs done in time to see the movie tomorrow- Yeah!

Here they are: I know it seems crazy to make summer weight clothes, but I wanted them for our Disney trip this summer, too- so they'll wear long sleeves under them tomorrow.

close up of the flower (I used the tutorial somone - sorry, I can't remember the name, but it was a Tiana top and capris w/ a cute fabric flower)

Finally, the shirt I made for DS- Thank you Heather for the awesome design!

I was going to put something like "kiss me" or A kiss would be nice- but my DH said no way. Oh well. For summer, I'll make DS some shorts with the other characters applique'd on them.

Hi Everyone, things have been so crazy and hectic around here I haven't had a chance to keep up, nor even lurk. I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the holidays so far! Missing you guys!

 

[desparatelydisney]

Hey guys....

have to go off-topic a minute to say that we saw the Princess & The Frog tonight and.....

...it is THE BEST Disney Princess movie ever!!!!

Great message, great music, wonderful acting, etc., etc. We laughed and cried and at the end of the movie, nearly the entire audience clapped.

Take a break from your hectic Christmas schedules and go this weekend....it will remind YOU what is most important in life

How

Hopefully a new and better door will open where this one closed.

 

[desparatelydisney]

yes...this is my third post in a row...

no....i have no idea why i just didn't do a multi-quote....

but....Thanks for all the advice on waiting to get the 770. We live in the boonies and the closest shop would be 2 hours away so it's going to have to be an internet purchase. DH comes home tomorrow (he's been gone for a week on a project) and we will decide whether to get it now or wait.

....and that's the last post....i promise....i am heading to ZZZzzz land as I type....

I love this picture, too! It looks like you had a great vacation!

I'm sorry to hear about your husband's job. I hope things work out and you get to stay close to your family.

That is so sad. I can't imagine how she must be feeling. It would be like a knife to the heart. I'll say a prayer for her.

I was going to put something like "kiss me" or A kiss would be nice- but my DH said no way. Oh well. For summer, I'll make DS some shorts with the other characters applique'd on them.

That is SO pretty!! I love it!! I can't wait to make Tessa a princess and the frog outfit! I love the frog shirt- it's perfect! I think it would have been cute saying "A kiss would be nice". What do husbands know?

HI Beth!!!

 

[*Toadstool*]

looks like you guys had a great time. Beautiful dresses.

My embroidery machine didn't like having to go through sticky solvy, terry, felt and then felt again. The bobbin thread pulled through and no matter what adjustment I made it didn't help. I let it stitch out and then went back by hand with a satin stitch.

After I finished I tried a basic design and regular fabric and it was perfect I have to cover another monogrammed robe with Mickey head today and then do a straight monogram on one last robe. I know the last person won't have any problems and there won't be any problems or changes.

How do you adjust for extra thick on an embroidery machine, the Innovis 4000D?

Why did you have 2 layers of felt? I guess I am missing what you did, but that is alot on a machine. I would have just tried to use some lighter weight fabrics together. I'd also use a denim needle since it is such a big load of fabric.

MUST MAKE THIS DRESS!!!! I LOVEEE DK!!! I hadn't seen this one. Beautiful!!!! I love the embroidered trim on the bottom too. I wish I had seen this earlier in time to copycat you!

Loved your little mini trip report. The Belle dress is beautiful, but I love the Ohana dress the best!

Shirts are too cute! I love her hair! I have a soft spot for redheads.

Beautiful! I love how different everyone's Princess and Frog customs are coming out! Love your fabric choices.

 

[aksunshine]

Love it Nicole! Wish I had made a Tiana dress for Isabelle. We will probably go see it this weekend and with me working on her Christmas dress I know I won't have time. Oh well, I can admire everyone elses!




Hi Beth! We talk everyday, but I still miss you!!!! You should post that cute Mickey shirt!

 

[princesskayla]

THE COBBLER'S CHILD HAS SHOES!

My daughter finally has a Christmas dress! I keep thinking (at age 9 now) that we're about done with the Daisy Kingdom stuff. But I let her pick her own fabric and pattern.

It just kills me that Daisy Kingdom went out of business. Thank heaven for Ebay for those of us late to the game!

WOW!! Love it. What pattern did you use?

Thank you for the advise. I am really wanting one. I do so many ruffles and hems that I feel it will make my work so much faster. However, the main reason is that when I do overalls (and I do a lot of them), that I take the leg seams apart to applique on them, and this would make is so much better putting them back together and make the seams look professional.

I have a brother 1034D and I have had not problems with it at all (crossing my fingers) It is pretty easy to thread once you get the hang of it. The rolled hem comes out nice, but it is kindof a pain to get it set right. Now that I know what I am doing it is easier. The ruffling foot does not ruffle a whole lot. I am not sure if it is me or the machine. It kind of makes me sad becuase I would love to be able to ruffle with it all the time - but the ruffles are not very pretty, kind of dead and lifeless - and we can't have that now can we. So I do not use my ruffle function on the machine.

Girls, please send some prayers and pixie dust if you can:

We just got a call that my Dad is going to be coming on Saturday to live with us for a while. While surprising, it's not that I don't want my Dad to come, but my mom also lives with us, and they're divorced. So that complicates things somewhat. Also, my Dad doesn't do well w/ my kids, as some of you know they have special needs and heck, they overwhelm me sometimes, so they really throw him for a loop. Our life is pretty chaotic right now already; I just started working last month, we're in the process of hiring an advocate for our DD, things are a mess with the school, etc. etc (I know we're all busy) and to make myself sound even more shallow, I'm losing my sewing room!! I know it was a luxury, but I'm already behind, and because of DS's special needs I can't have my machines anywhere they can't be locked up every second I'm not watching them, so I can't just set up shop anywhere.

OK, vent over.

For those who pray, please ask that I would get over my selfish, shallow attitude and would trust that God would reveal a plan and purpose in this and give me wisdom and patience. For those who don't pray, please send pixie dust if you can.

As well as any good advice- goodness knows I can use it!

Sending prayers and pixie dust your way. I would be upset about losing my sewing sapce too!! I am glad that your sweet DH gave up his space for you. That is love!!!

OMG!!!!! That was us at Ohana. My DD was in the white dress with the red and black hawaiian panels. It was a semi case from one someone made for an erlier trip. I noticed your girls as well while taking DD to the restroom and meant to say something about their outfits but never did. We had a table over at the windows facing the castle.

She made a point of taking DD to meet the "ohana lady" and showing her the dress. Here is a pic of it:

While I am at it here is a pic of her belle dress with Belle and the beast in France:

It was a really special meet. Belle had on her cape when we walked up, and ended up taking it off nad eventually putting it on dd. She posed her with just the Beast and told her she was going to take a break. The Beast played into it beautifully.

How sweet!! That is why I love Disney and why it so worth making customs. Your customs are great. Love them, especially the Christmas one.

I had my heart set on a Brother 770 for Christmas and DH said I could get one. He still says I can have it but things have changed a little and I really don't want to put the $800 in it right now because I would have to charge it, and I promised myself we would pay for Christmas totally up front...no going into more debt.

So....should I downgrade and get the little SE-35 or just wait until I can afford the 770 without feeling guilty about it. I REALLY want to embroider but I am afraid I will be settling with the little guy.

All advice welcomed and needed. TIA

MMM

Wait and get the bigger field!!!!

I posted alittle last night from Tyler's wrestling practice, Boy have the past 3 months been a dooozy
First we had a wonderful time in Disney we went on the Sleepy Hallow Carriage ride, rented a Pontoon boat at Fort Wilderness, ate dinner at Wispering Canyon (where they sang Happy Birthday to Tyler) Sci Fi diner, Rainforest Cafe. It was a wonderful Vacation.

So we got home and not a month later infact a week before Thanksgiving my DH was told Kelloggs has Restructured and neither He or the 10 other supervisors on 3rd shift fit into their plan, some of the people had over 10 years seniority.

We are trying to find a way to stay here in Georgia because the kids do not want to move, plus our Family is here. It was just a huge shock and one we were not really prepared for.

First off, I am glad you had a wonderful vacation. Second, I am so sorry to hear about your DH"s job. I hope that he can find another one soon!!!



I lost a few of my multiquotes so...

AKSUNSHINE: Congrats!!!!
I am praying for you and your family. Can't wait to hear another healthy baby report.

MGMSMOMMY:
Love all the great outfits. So cool that you got to open up Epcot. I am glad you had a wonderful trip.

I am beyond stressed out right now. I have been sewing Christmas stuff for three weeks and I havn't had time to get to my stuff for my kids. To top it off -we leave for Disney on Monday and I have no Christmas customs!!!! My car is not cleaned out for the trip, my mother is flying in to GA tonight, I have not cleaned my house in over a month because every spare min I have is spent making shirts for other people. Oh yeah - I also work my full time job this weekend, 24 hours. I am not going to sleep until we get to Disney I guess, because I can't go with out Christmas customs for my kids. It is not happening. I need about 48 more hours!!!! Can anyone get that for me??
