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

[Diz-Mommy]

Last post I promise.
This is my first Feliz and I made two matching ones. Each dress has 6 princesses on it with a total of 87,306 stitches. The light blue is sparkely.

I am in love with this darling little dress!! If you don't mind me asking...where did you find those princess designs? I don't have a little girl, but I'm a total design addict

Here's a mini trip report featuring customs!!

We arrived on Saturday, Dec 5, checked into Caribbean Beach and ate at Chef Mickey's for dinner. Little one did pretty good with the characters.

Sunday morning we headed out to Epcot and ran into Daisy Duck!

Monday we went to Animal Kingdom. She was sleepy during Lion King, but really loved Nemo - we got front row seats!!

Tuesday was MGM - my favorite dress and probably the one that got the most attention.

Wednesday was Magic Kingdom...she slept most of the day and ended up cutting a tooth, so I have no pics. : (
Thursday was a simple day with dinner at Akershus and the MVMCP! These are the best pictures I have (she didn't want to hang out with Santa - she fell asleep soon after this)

Friday we did a photo session at Grand Floridian. It went really well and the pics were great!

That night was dinner with the Steps-again she was pretty tired, so this is the best pic of the dress. The sisters were okay, but the mother was great!!

Saturday morning was breakfast with Mary Poppins (mommy's favorite part!!)

We had a great time! I can't wait to go back!!! Does it mean you have a problem if you just got back, and are already thinking/planning the next one and what customs you will make?!
Thanks!

Jessica

I saw your daughter at HS on Tuesday! Your mother-in-law (I think) was with her near the hat. I stopped and asked her if she was on Disboards. She said she you were! Too too cute!! She was super precious in person. Great job on all of the customs!

Oh okay.. now I know what you were talking about on Facebook. Wowzas.. It really came out awesome. I LOOOOVe the lights.. even though I think you hated doing them.. hehe

Jessica, Loved your mini trip report!! What a lucky little girl to have such beautiful customs! I really liked the small world outfit and the one with steam boat willie on it. This picture of you guys is too cute. You are cute too.. i wish I could pull that outfit off!

[/IMG]

Wow.. I need to do that. Wish I had such a nice space to sew in! Good job!

Glad you fixed the pants! SHe looks adorable!

Love love love the picture with the 2 of them together. I am jealous of your beautiful leaves! We don't get leaves like that here. They both are sooo gorgeous! Her fairy godmother did such a good job with her dress. hehe
The thanksgiving dress is too cute. I hadn't seen that one yet.

The brother is the 4500 Duetta (same as yours, right?)

Lucky girl!

Her Tiana dress is gorgeous!!!

Goodness.. you must be exhausted. Love everything. I really like your peasant tops though. They are so cute!

Wow!! This dress is stunning!!! I am in love with it. Please feel free to send it to my DD...

Love Love Love the Daisy and DOnald outfits!!

Her outfit and pose are adorable!! I love that fabric. Is that new this year?? I soo need some of that for next year if so.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Off to finish my DD's birthday dress. Her birthday party is on Sunday...

Are the "permanent issues" due to the tumor or chemo? Having a child affected by FAS, I "really" feel for what Shelly is dealing with. I can't imagine having all that going on at once. Praying for her family, Daniel and your the missing hikers and their families. So sad.

Hi MaryAnn - his tumor was right on his cerebellum which helps with our motor control and balance - so his walking is not really stable and a year later, he still has a walker, mainly for safety if he goes out into the community. Evidently kids who have tumors removed from this area can get something called Posterior Fossa Syndrome, and Daniel definately has that. In my work with kids who have had radiation/chemo is that some seem to be okay, and others definately have learning issues afterwards. So Im sure its a combination of things - thanks so much for your prayers and support!

Everyone - my little patient and I finished her Molly top today during our session! She was THRILLED!! I wish I could show you a picture - HIPPA - but she chose that purple HSM fabric with the characters in bright colors and a green with pink polka dot fabrics. She made the back the polkadots, the front HSM and one sleeve of each!! an original for sure!!! lol!!!

Love the outfits, bags and all the creations!! Wonderful job everyone!

Tomorrow Im hoping to be snowed in - I have 5 pairs of easyfit pj's to make!! I hope I have enough flannel!!

I am thinking they came from stitch on time, but it is late and i am tired and just guessing as to where Kathy got them! I am sure she'll be more then happy to share but right now she is having a blast a MVMCP!

Oh okay.. now I know what you were talking about on Facebook. Wowzas.. It really came out awesome. I LOOOOVe the lights.. even though I think you hated doing them.. hehe

Thanks! Yep, that is what I was talking about. That was my second set of lights I had to cut out and sew out this year. I have pictures of the other somewhere, I'll look for them tomorrow! No more lights!!

Depends exactly what you want and what size you need to make it. When I made the Jack Sparrow shirts the pillowcase wasn't quite wide enough to go top to bottom on the size shirt I had to make, so I had to sew a strip to the top of it before cutting it out. You can see a bit of the top strip in this.



I also wanted Jack on the back and Will on the front,



but did not want to waste the picture on the seam allowance, so I taped together the back piece and the side piece and cut it all as one.
And in this pic you can see how there is no side seam under his right armpit.



this is probably more info and pictures than you wanted to know, but I really love this shirt and take every opportunity to show it off.

I have always loved this shirt! I think it is my most favorite bowling one! Although I have a few that are all up there! Anna did a Yoda for a big give (I think) and Heather a Buzz (and Diego) I think that I really liked.

First off, I absolutely LOVE everything that has been posted recently. Beautiful! Wish I had more time!

Second, Enabler Alert! Was in Walmart today and al their Christmas material was marked down to $1.50 and $2.00 a yard! WOOHOO! Picked up a couple of different materials. The lady there told me the marked it down last night!

UGH! the only walmart with fabric is down past the mall! NOT going that way! On a good day with no traffic it is about 45 minutes, around Christmas it adds another 45 minutes just to go about 3 miles down to the walmart!! 90 minutes is too dang long! I finally really really get time is worth $!

Yes, I taped the side pattern to the back pattern (only 1 side) then I placed it over the pillowcase and cut all around. My pillowcase looked like this



And I did not want to cut between Jack and Will, as I would have lost too much in the seam allowance.

I spent a lot of time with the pattern pieces and the pillowcase before I cut anything, cause I wanted it to be perfect and since things just barely fit in the large size I was making.


I sent you a PM too.

I know I am slow sometimes but I never knew that was a pillowcase! And every time I saw the shirt I was thinking where did you get that adorable huge picture! i did atleast assume it was pillow panel that I had never seen.

I love the Snow White!!! That is so adorable!! I bet Dallas looks cute in that! :lol:

And, the Donald is FABULOUS!!! Very very pretty!

Thanks Teresa! Dallas sadly didn't get to try this one on for me! I made it after he went to school and was racing the mail lady to get it all finished up! I won though! LOL!

Look what Heather and I did this week!

We took a last minute, 2 night, trip to Disney World! A sisters only trip! We were both missing our kids terribly by the end of the 2nd day, but we had such a fabulous time! I feel so blessed to have a sister that wants to spend 3 whole days with me!!!

There are more pictures up on Facebook.

What fun! I wondered where you had been but I know we are all so busy right now!

I missed the pictures of the sewing room somehow! I LOVE how nice, neat and tidy it is and your new machine!! I love seeing pictures of the sewing rooms!

Which reminds me, Karen, did you make that quilt you had bought red fabric for?? And I love pictures of your craft room!

Sometimes you guys just plain ol' surprise me that you remmeber me even when I don't post. Thanks for thinking about me.

The hard part of the quilt is done- the easy part not, but I have been thinking about finishing it before I start my next one - which is a step in the right drection- right? I did want to get it done for Christmas, but it's not there yet.

Did I tell you that my son Josh got engaged this week??

Of course we remember your smiling friendly face! I know you are always reading!

I can't wait to see a picture of it. I am so bad about starting something else before my first is done. I need to work on that!

Congrats to your son! That is so exciting!!

I have been in a whirlwind since we arrived home. I haven't had time to catch up here, but I am sure some beautiful things have been posted. I am going to try to catch up soon. I thought I would post a few pictures from our trip. I have a bunch, so I will try to control myelf

First of all, this beautiful dress wasn't made by me. Thank you Lori. Maddie LOVES her chipmunk dress.

My beautiful girls met the fairies. Gray didn't want to stand in line for 45 minutes.

The famous sewing machine

I had to add this one. Gray needed a haircut, so he got one at Disneyworld. He received lots of attention on this day.

This was at the backyard bbq. Goofy kept coming up to Maddie wanting to dance. She danced all night. This may have been her favorite time.

two of my favorite pictures.
I have a few more that I want to share. I will post some more in a few minutes.

 

[ireland_nicole]

Her outfit and pose are adorable!! I love that fabric. Is that new this year?? I soo need some of that for next year if so.

I got it at Joann's, it was in with the Christmas fabric. Today they're going to see Santa, so I can hopefully get a pic of the two of them and the matching doll dress. Thanks for the compliment! I can't wait to see what you do for your DD!



Karen: Congrats on Josh's big announcement! Have they set a date yet?

Quick Question- need an answer fast!

I'm taking the kids to see Santa this afternoon and just realized I never bought the buttons for DS's vest. I'm fine with him wearing it open, I was planning for him to anyway, but I can't for the life of me find 3 buttons that match and look reasonably attractive. I did find two cute ones.

Would you:
1. Just not put buttons or buttonholes in the vest
2. Use the two cute buttons
3. Put three clear buttons

Help! I've only got less than an hour before I have to go deliver a wedding cake!

Thanks Ladies!!! (And Tom, if you're reading)

We had a wonderful time at Universal. It seemed like we were the only ones there, so we had a great time with all of the characters. I got the best pictures there, so here are too many universal pictures.

They were making a plan of attack!

Maddie has squeaky shoes. Curious George played with her and her shoes for about 10 minutes. He was great.

Maddie wanted to see "that girl and her flowers." She probably would have watered those flowers all day.

Thanks for letting me share my pictures. I hope to catch up with everything soon. I am fixing to buy material for my next project. Maddie needs a birthday outfit. She is about to be three. Where did my baby go?

I would try it on him without the buttons and see if it hangs OK. My DS has a bowling shirt without buttons cause he likes to wear it open and took it away from me before I could finish it anyway.

All the customs look great in action. The kids are so cute. Thanks for sharing, love seeing pics of the customs actually at WDW

Yes, I tried it on him when I finished the rest last week. It hangs fine, in fact I was going to have him wear it open for the pic- you don't think it would look "funny" without the buttons? Thanks so much, I'm starting to feel like it might be ok.

They grow up way too fast, that's for sure. I love your pics- so sweet! And I really love your grinch dress, super cute!

Oh, OT, but I'm excited, so had to share: My dad moved in with us last week, so we are now a family of six. We looked into changing our ressie to two rooms, but even at a mod, it was over $4000 for the 8 nights Many thanks to fellow disboutiquer Kathy(I think, I can't find the TR right now to confirm) who has been sharing her TR. I remembered that she stayed in a house at Windsor Hills and loved it. We just booked a three bed, three bath house w/ small pool for $875 for the 8 nights- Thanks for the tip!

Woo Hoo! It is not even Christmas Eve and I have just gotten back from getting my very LAST Christmas Gift! I am excited! Now, just have to finish wrapping them all, and finish up on the window treatment for my DIL...and of course get the house clean before my little DGD comes over to visit while her Mommy and Daddy are visiting with Helen's mommy and daddy at the Shepherd Spinal Center.

Then starting tomorrow, after church services, I start with all the cooking and baking that I should be half way finished with by now! But, I WILL get it all done...I always do!


To everyone who got snow instead of rain from this little blip in the weather...stay warm! Me...I'm putting in the dvd of the fireplace with Christmas Music on it! One of these days I will get me a fireplace again...
