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

[HeatherSue]

Hello,

Just had to share my excitement. We are leaving for DL tomorrow morning at 5am! So excited! I am not anywhere as organized as you all...so I have nothing packed...still have one dress to finish (buttons, button holes, and ruffle) and one boy T'shirt with an applique (not clue what to do) and pack. Oh, and did I mention I work full time so wont be home till after 5 tonight. Guess I'll be up till midnight! But well worth it. I'll have lots of pic's to share when we get back.

I am nervous FOR you!
Have a wonderful trip! I can't wait to see your pictures!

I made my first Olivia the other day. Just for fun, I don't have anyone to give it to. I made the smallest size and I really like the way it turned out. Just wish I knew a little girl that size to model it for me.

That turned out so cute!! I think I might try to do this with Carla's Raglan pattern. I'd just need to lengthen it and flare it out at the bottom, and flare out the sleeves a little. It's such a cute look!

I'm working on a large order for someone heading for Disney.... and it's KILLING me that it will be a whole year before I can get back!

I'm doing dresses from the new Mickey Christmas fabric and loving it. I'll post pics later. I can't wait to use it for Katie next year!

Here is what I have been working on - The "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Knot" handbag from YCMT. I used photo fabric instead of fat quarters for the main panels and I LOVE it! This is the prototype for my Christmas gifts for my mil, gmil, and aunt-in-law - the hardest part was doing the topstitch through four layers of stuff, so forgive that part - I am hoping to do better on the next one! I have wanted a photo bag of the kids for so long, but they are just so expensive - this is a great alternative!

[/QUOTE]

That bag is FABULOUS!!! What kind of photo fabric did you use for your purse? I LOVE the idea! I'd love to be able to make something similar for the grandmothers of my kids!!!! I've been looking online and I'm not sure what type of printable fabric gives that nice smooth look. Is it cotton or silk? Or something else? Great job!

I'll be honest, I cheat. I use a store bought tshirt.
On this one, I just embroidered a frog to match the pants onto a Walmart shirt.

Adorable matching pjs!

This is my first time posting in this thread. I have been lurking for about a moth or so though.You all do beautiful work. I sew but nothng like the rest of you. The appliques are just gorgeous. Maybe someday I will attempt to be so creative.
You all have been an inspiration and have got me hooked on YCMT.com

I wanted to share some things that I have finished.
This was suppose to be my DGD's Halloween costume but it rained here so I wouldn't let her wear it. We will be going to Park Fare for dinner during our trip so I plan on letting her wear it then.

Headband and arm covers

I wanted to make gloves but could not find a pattern that worked and my attempts of making my own failed so I decided to just make these.

That's so pretty!

I'm not sure which day of our trip DGD will wear this: front

The pants are just from a standard pull on commercial pattern.

Cute!

This is a commercial pattern for the top and CarlaC's Easy Fit pants.

I think she'll wear this is Hoop Dee Doo.

That'll be perfect!

Oh no!! That's good about the opportunity, but no fun that he won't be able to go! You will have extended family along though, right? That will at least help! I understand the hurry! I work all day, then spend the evening with my daughter, so I don't get to sew until about 8pm. That means late nights!! I did play hooky from work on Monday to sew!!! It was lovely!


Thank you! I have been busy and will be up until the day we leave I am sure!


So cute!! Love the other stuff too. The easy fits are adorable!! Ycmt.com is addicting!!

Yep, I'll have four other adults with me, so that's good lol! If it was just the two of us, I'd probably cancel because I can't even imagine dragging all of that luggage, a carseat, AND my dd. I also work, so I totally hear you on the sewing only at night. Kind of a hassle, and means less sleep, but we do what we have to. =)

This is the reverse side of the froggy applique A-line I posted (about 10 pages ago...you ladies move FAST!) Can you tell Princess Crankypants was not in a modeling mood? The easy-fits are made from stretch cotton poplin...I think I may use that fabric to make myself some capri easy-fits for spring since I bought CarlaC's adult easy fit pants pattern. It seems like a comfy and forgiving fabric for pants-making. I tried to upsize the child's pattern to an adult pattern (before hers was for sale) and ended up with legs so wide my DH looked like he was wearing a skirt rather than flannel PJs! I had to go back and take in the inner leg seams by several inches!

Cute outfit and adorable dd!

Coming out of lurkdom to say that this dress made Leighanna want me to make her one. Thank You!!! She rarely wants me to sew for her much anymore! I already had the pattern but had not made it yet. Of course she wanted that same fabric, but I didn't have it so we opted for a Thanksgiving one instead.

I also just finished this for a Big Give.

Love them both!

Okay, I just finished two more outfits (and no, I in no way did both of these completely tonight!!) I kept the pictures BIG!! So please thumbnail them!! And I can shrink them if you'd like!

DHS dress. It's a simply sweet with a strip work skirt. I think of it as "Mickey Through the Years":

And a dress for Dinner with Cinderella at 1900 Park Fare. Another simply sweet with a "made up" peek-a-boo skirt:

Oh yeah..all the faces are painted. I in no way wanted to applique all those!!
Thanks for looking! Now I really better get to sleep!!!

I will be eating at 1900 park fare in the 11th at 6:50. My dd will be wearing her Stepsisters/Lady Tremaine Vida, I will keep an eye out for you, say Hi if you spot us! We will be at WDW from 12/10-12/16.

To Isabels momma, I have delivered 4 children. One completely natural, 2 with epidurals and one emergency c-section. I don't think there is any right or wrong way to have a baby. Dissapointment, sure, but trust me, the 3 surviving kids I have were worth however they came. And I've seen babies with meconium aspiration, and it's not a good scenario. Getting your baby out by c-section was the safest way to go! Besides, now when one of your children ask "How did I get out of your tummy?" You can show them your scar. Thats a little bit simpler than the correct anatomy

Yes that scar is much simpler than anatomy! Welcome Isabel!

Yeah!! We will be there. It's a big group of us (10 total), so we'll probably be hard to miss. My daughter will be in the Lady Tremaine/step sisters simply sweet/peek-a-boo posted on here!! I know our little ones will be the hit of the night!!

What a beautiful baby! I love all her hair.

I am so sorry the birth didn't go as planned. I'm really sad you had to have a hospital transfer, and then your experience there seemed like a complete nightmare -- particularly the epidural. For the birth I did at the hospital they really listened to me and our birth plan and not once did they offer me anything for pain. Hospitals are just so bent on what most women do and just can't grasp that there are women who want natural births and women who don't want c-secs. I know if it wasn't for your elevated BP and the meconium that the birth would have been so much easier. My ds passed meconium so they "had to cut the cord right away so the ped team could evaluate him." Two minutes later the ped team arrived. I am still furious over that. They could have waited two minutes.

Anyhoo, you have a beautiful little girl ~ let the sewing begin!

Thank you! We love her hair too!! Sorry about your experience too - thankfully all is well

Congratulations, she is absolutely beautiful!

Thank you very much!

What an amazing birth story you have! I can tell you're already getting over the trauma of it. I promise that every birth experience is very different. I refer to my first delivery as my trip to the "dark side" (now that the boys are older and we've done the whole "Star Wars" thing...) It was scary and painful, and I did at one point feel it would probably just be easier to die...... Yet oddly enough I jumped in and did it twice more! It felt SO healing to have an amazingly easy and uneventful delivery two years later.

At first I was so traumatized I thought maybe my dreams of a big family would be put aside - but now I'm getting over it and know we have to do this a few more times (if God so chooses to bless us). Thanks for your kind words

Adi, she is such a gorgeous baby!! I read your birth story and I was on the edge of my seat. Seriously, I love a good birth story, or a good adoption story! My birth experience with Tessa was NOT a good one- in labor for 22 hours, mean nurses, my midwife wasn't there, etc... But, Sawyer's was completely the opposite- in labor for 3 hours, wonderful nurses and my midwife was there. With Tessa's birth I didn't have nearly as much pain as i did with Sawyer's, which is good because it lasted longer! But, both times I sure got something wonderful out of it!! Congratulations!!!!!

Thanks Heather! I have faith things will go better next time, and even if they go the same the baby will be worth it

Oh my. My hospital here is so good, they promote natural childbirth, and bfing and don't offer C-sec, unless you really need it. I am always disappointed when I hear that in other places they don't offer the same support.

Anyway, glad things turned out well, and she is a real cutie. Love all the hair, both my boys (and me too) were born bald.

Thank you - Miami is the c-section capital of the US, which is why I was trying to go the birth center route (some of the hospitals here have 70-80% c-section rates, some a lot lower, but still).

Congratulations!! She is a beautiful baby. Her Birthday is two days after my new little nephew!

I am so sorry things didn't go as planned. I understand completely though, I had a couple of very scary births and it is hard to end up with a c-section. I really didn't want to be my Doula's first c-section. The merconium is scary though so I would have done the same thing.

Thank you for sharing her pictures. Did she get to wear her Halloween costume? Off to peek at the pictures on Facebook.

I have to take pictures of her in her Belle Outfit - I plan on doing that this week Thanks for the congrats and the kind words!

Thank you! Hopefully they don't all have to come via c-section, but if they do that is ok. I like your scar/telling them how they came idea

Congratulations!! I had a somewhat similar birth story with my little one! Although I only had to have 2 epidurals - I wasn't stuck over 11 times - I can't imagine!! Even though I didn't want it in the beginning, the c-section was definitely worth it!

Thank you

Just remember: Each delivery is completely different. There's no reason to think the next one would be the same.

And just because Miami is the c-section capital does NOT mean you didn't need one. Meconium can be very serious. NOT having one when you need it has even worse consequences than HAVING one when you didn't.

Enjoy and congratulations. You have SO much to be thankful this year!

This would make very cool Christmas gifts!! Where do I find photo fabric? Is it something you have printed somewhere, or on a home inkjet?

Thank you. With a little bit of talent you could easily do this with Carla's raglan. I am just so much better following a pattern than I am winging it.

Tricia-that Olivia dress is so cute!

Thank you.

So cute! I just bought this pattern but haven't had a chance to play with it yet!

Thanks. You must try it, it is really easy, I had a couple of issues, but since the seam ripper and I are good friends, I was able to fix them, and know what not to do next time.

 

[mom2rtk]

I have finally gotten to work up the new Disney christmas fabric into a dress for a customer. I knew what I wanted to do the minute I saw it! You can bet I'm saving some for next year when we go back. Katie's too old for this style, but I'll do something with these fabrics!

I'm SO jealous of all of you heading for Disney for Christmas! Never mind that I was just there......

 

[hollybearsmom]

that Christmas dress is beautiful!
