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

[disneygirlsanddrew]

Here's the pillowcase tunic I threw together for my DD to wear to school today. They're having a "Thanksgiving Feast" and she had picked out this fabric for something for school.

So cute! I LOVE that fabric!!!!

I just ordered Kitt for my daughter today. I don't think they have sales on the standard dolls, just on an occasional outfit. But I'm new at this so maybe others can chime in...

I do know there is a code for free shipping that expires tomorrow I believe. Just google American Girl coupons and you can find the code.

It saved me $14!

Can I still get the free shipping tomorrow or only through midnight tonight? I am going to order Rebecca for my oldest DD but I can't decide what to do about my youngest dd. She wants the twins. We have her birthday in the middle of December plus Christmas. My DH isn't convinced about getting her the twins because her oldest sister has them and he doesn't think they get played with enough. I just don't want her to get the shaft on what she wants. I don't know what to do. Any advice? I just don't want her to be disappointed. But I sometimes wonder if she'd be fine with getting babies from any old store. Ahhh...what to do, what to do?!

I THINK it said the offer was good through the 24th, but look it up to be sure. As for the twins, that's kind of a tough spot. At least I have only ONE girl, so that hasn't come up in the doll department. I do know we got my daughter a cheap set of twins from Target a few years ago, and she's still playing with them......... Oops.... I almost forgot.... Isn't she supposed to be more interested in ipods and cell phones by now??? Sorry flash back to this weekend's conversation!!

I applaud you that your daughter is still playing with dolls. Any tips as to how you encouraged that for those of us who have young daughters? I played with dolls and barbies for a long time when I was little. My mom always said that our home was a safe place to do those things and no one even had to know. I remember one of my friends came over for a sleep over when I was younger and she started kind of laughing that I still played with barbies and my mom told her that our home was a safe place and no one else had to know and we ended up playing barbies the whole time!

What's everyone making for Christmas gifts this year? I'd love some inspiration

For school teachers, Sunday School teachers, therapists and doctors, we are either making snowman wall hangings or Christmas Tree Napkins. For my dad and step mom, I'm making a quilt for their bed; for my unmarried son I'm making a quilt with UGA colors/fabrics; for my DIL and son I am making them a window treatment for their master bathroom (Roman Shade); for my DD and SIL I am attempting to make some Easy fit PJ bottoms...if I can find some Alabama Crimson Tide fabric in flannel.


I think I might be just a tad busy...still have to finish putting the buttons on the girls' Christmas Vidas, make 4 more ties for the guys and three scarves for the ladies...it is gonna be some family poitrait!

You know, I can't even tell you why, except to say that she hasn't been exposed to anything else yet. And I think it has a lot to do with where we love. It's an older area of town, and lots of families don't have much, so her classmates aren't really into those things yet.

She loves playing Momma to her babies, and I think it's great! There's plenty of time for growing up still.

AG has a free shipping code thru tomorrow for 100.00 purchase.

Thank you!! I found it and saved $14.

No not the one sitting down. That one looks nothing like Tessa.

It was the girl standing behind yours on the left. She is blonde and was wearing a mini tiara.

Oh, yes, that is Tessa, the little girl pointing! She was wearing Lydia's tiara from her BBB visit a few years ago. She looked so pretty! Sawyer was Prince Charming.

Heather-That video is hilarious!! The girls looked so cute in their dresses. Teresa did a wonderful job on them.


I was shocked on Friday after school. I had made Jenna a long shirt dress for school. Well Friday was Jeans day at school, but she wanted to wear it anyways with her jeans. I thought no biggie, Girls do that all the time. Well, when Jen got home she told me that everyone loved her dress, but the substitute took her to the principal's office, because she felt that what Jenna was wearing was not "in uniform". Well the principal knows that I sew some of Jenna's uniforms, so for her it wasn't a problem. I will be glad when Jen's regular teacher comes back.

Thank you Crystal.

Poor Jenna, I'm sorry she got singled out by the sub like that!

THAT IS SO COOL!! We were just there on the 13th, and I saw two little girls dressed up like the sisters too!! I'll kick myself for not saying hi if that was you guys! Was it!?

Nope, it wasn't us, we were there last month. You should have said hi anyway, it's very likely they were a Diser!

Has anyone thought of New Years yet!!

Lori

Oh how cute is she!!! I love it! What is she laughing about Lori?

I bought Arminda a Sarah doll (that's a Chou Chou baby to the rest of you) when she was two. Arminda was playing with her the other day! She also takes her stroller to the store with her with the dolls in it. I hate it when she does that, just because it takes her FOREVER to get the baby all set up, and then she is so slow pushing the stroller around the store! And, then if Lydia wants to bring one too... well, I don't get much done!

I'm not Janet, but I just wanted to say I love you Mom's attitude!! As far as encouraging them to play with dolls, I don't know really! Just don't try to treat them older than they are. Never discourage them from doing something just because you or others think they are too old for it. (Well, within limits, Lydia does this annoying babytalk thing that I am really trying to put a stop to!) And, take your Mom's advice and create a safe place.

My dd is 8 and LOVES her AG. Her dolls go everywhere with us. Before her AG she had "JORD" and Jord went everywhere (Yes TeresaJoy, Jord is still around ) LOL


As far as encouraging it? I have my own AG dolls. So it is "normal" at our house

 

[TinkerbelleMom]

. But I do about 85% of my shopping online. It's so much easier! And I can get what I want without running all over the place. I'm almost done. But I have a bad habit of waiting to Xmas eve to do all my wrapping!

I do lots of shopping online, it's better to shop on your seat instead of your feet! lol I always seem to be wrapping Christmas eve too, and every year I swear I won't wait so long next year, but it never happens. I've got a huge bathroom, and with 2 locked doors between me and the kids, that's where I get the job done. DH is there putting together whatever needs it, and the two of us are grumbling the whole time. Santa would fire these elves!

I was just thinking about Jord today! Tell her I said Hi!

And, I hadn't thought that the fact that I have my own dolls might have influenced my girls!

Oh how cute is she!!! I love it! What is she laughing about Lori?

wish I remember what she was laughing about..... I always say silly things when taking pics to get funny reactions...

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.

Absolutely fabulous!

Has anyone thought of New Years yet!!

Lori

LOL I haven't even finished Thanksgiving yet! She is cracking me up laughing...really cute!

Here's the pillowcase tunic I threw together for my DD to wear to school today. They're having a "Thanksgiving Feast" and she had picked out this fabric for something for school.

I love the fabric...hope she had fun wearing it!

Okay, I finished the 9 pairs of flannel easy fit pants that DD(GoofyG) cut out yesterday. I also finished 2 other pair of easy fits to finish up one outfit for each of the DGD's for our Disney trip. At least I finally feel like I've accomplished something. I can scratch these off of my to do list.

Amazing! Love the easy fits! Great work! And the Christmas outfits too! Very cute!!

 

[HeatherSue]

I just wanted to remind everyone that today is the ship date for Alyssa's (Chrissid7) Big Give!

If you could check the board and let me know if you've shipped, that would be great! Thank you so much!

This little girl is having a rough time and is in the hospital right now. So, I really hope these packages will brighten her day.

You must get a lot of smiles with that sight! so cute! My girls take their bitty babies out in their strollers around our town in the summer all of the time and it is so cute, but you're right....it takes FOREVER to get anywhere!

I was very fortunate to have parents who encouraged us to be kids and have fun ! If you have ever seen babes in toyland, she would say that line to us about once you cross the borders, you can never go back again. She always says to me now that some day my house will be clean and not littered with toys and I'll wish that it was. Enjoy my little ones while i can!

 

[desparatelydisney]

Finished up another one! Only 2 more and a petti to go!!
This is a Vida for Animal Kingdom. I love the Lion King! I'll put Pumba on the other leg eventually. The appliques on the Vida were done "by hand" The Timon (and Pumba) are machine.

Thanks for looking! Everyone have a great - short week!

Jessica

These are wonderful!!! I wish I had the patience to do those big appliques.

That turned out really cute.



As for what I am making everyone for Christmas. My 3 brothers are getting pyjamas (easy fits and an appliqued T-Shirt) The teachers are either getting placemats, or a table runner. Either way I am starting with the Paper Piecing Tutorial from YCMT with the Christmas tree on it.

Sounds painfully familiar to me too

Thank you! Luckily my daughter is still little, so they aren't quite as big as they look - but they do take a lot of time!! As I am doing them I am so ready for them to be done, and then when they are I am ready for the next one!
