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

[jham]

Cute!!

Just thought I'd share....the first Halloween costumes I've made! Courtesy of a pattern by Dainty Designs from YCMT. I'm thinking these may be fun to wear on our next trip to WDW now that pirates are such a big deal. Now off to figure out some Christmas outfits!

LOVE those!

Well it was a fantastic day! Yep!
I actually made it up till 9:30..lol... I seem to rise early and go to bed early these days.. I am sure it is the baby's doing!lol..
Anyways..Jojo is now 6! Where did the time go!
here are some pics of the Costumes and Cake!!!

Lori

Happy Belated Birthday JoJo!

Here's my crew. I didn't make any of the costumes this year. Sorry it's so big.

Great costumes!

Aloha! I'm Melinda, and I have been lurking your thread (on and off) since about February of last year. You all have been a great inspiration to me! I did not sew at that point - but I bought a brother sewing/embroidery machine off of HSN and did not look back. Our first family trip to WDW was in September, and while I did not get the hang of it in time to make customs for that trip, I am on a roll now! Now that I actually have something to show you all, thought I would introduce myself and hang out here a little more. Here are my creations so far...

My first finished dress:

Pirate Outfit:

Brother's Jammie Pants (He was jealous of mommy sewing for sister!)

Day of the Dead Dress: (Yay for CarlaC - best looking thing I have made yet and the directions were so easy to follow!)

Look forward to getting to know you all better and getting some great tips and ideas!

Melinda

Good job! Carla's patterns are the best!

My DD as a dalmation

and my DS as Harry Potter

so cute!

Hello all, Hope you all had a great night last night! All the costumes posted are adorable! Love them all!

Belle with her Big Brother (he was a Mafia Clown...I don't know...teenagers??)

Love Belle! I saw too many scary clown teenagers this year!

 

[jham]

Here are my kids' costumes. I only made the girls'. The boys were kind enough to wear last years costumes.

For Jayden we were going for the DL face character version of Sally:

I used Carla's Sophie Tunic pattern and lots of Wonder Under

Lily was Minnie Mouse and I used Carla's Precious Dress pattern and just lowered the neckline a bit.

finally found her some smaller gloves and tights:

And my poor neglected store-bought-wearing boys I just realized with only a slight stretch of the imagination they are also Disney themed.

Luke was Indiana Jones but no hat on in the photo. I'm too lazy to add more photos to photobucket and resize them!

And just because I think Jayden would be a gorgeous red-head.

I had posted the pic of my girls as the pirates and a couple of people asked about the shoes. Well, I found those red beauties at.....Wal Mart! For only $9.99 My Mom ended up buying them for the girls in green, hot pink, and black as well. They've held up really well too.

These are gorgeous! You have to wear them to WDW, they'll be perfect!

Lori;
Glad you're starting to feel a bit better; now is the "fun" trimester; great job on the costumes, and I can't believe how big JoJo's getting. They grow up way too fast.

How was the Concert?? I'd LOVE to hear them in concert!! I love a good concert, but they havent been coming around to Philly lately they go out more towards Lancaster, but usually in the middle of the week when I cant get there in time!! Last Halloween we went to the Michael W Smith/Steven Curtis Chapman duo concert - it was Awesome!!!

The concert was awesome! Not enough Bebo for me, but other than that, great; Natalie Grant sounds way better in person than on her recordings, and her twins are too cute! Jeremy was amazing, my daughter loved all the lights from his show- I love, love, love Steven Curtis Chapman!!!

Here's my crew. I didn't make any of the costumes this year. Sorry it's so big.

Great pic!

Thanks for coming! I love all the outfits you've done, super cute! And you can never, ever go wrong with a Carla C pattern!

My DD as a dalmation

and my DS as Harry Potter

So cute! Awesome job!!

My Dearest Teresa,

I hope that you have noticed my silence on the matter so lightly touched on by you in the above quote. A crack has developed in my heart for you as I read of the insensitive comments made by some people on this thread. Please know my friend, that I did not, have not, nor will I ever laugh at your expense, or expose you to such cruelty, but, instead, support you from the bottom of my heart.

Always remember Teresa- I am here for you!

Lots of hugs,
Karen

Hello all, Hope you all had a great night last night! All the costumes posted are adorable! Love them all!

Here's my Belle in her finished costume. I am so excited about her wearing it to DL in 3 weeks!! Yay!

Um, Wow, just wow!! Sally is absolutely perfect, and so is Minnie! To die for awesome!

Marah- don't worry about the clothes, are Hannah and Drakey ok? And were y'all able to trick or treat tonight?

Draykey had a very high fever for a few days but that was really his only symptom. He is doing MUCH better now.
Hannah had some asthma problems, those cleared up. Then Draykey got the flu (Hannah has only had the first of two H1N1 vaccines...and just the week before) so we started Hannah on Tamiflu profilactically (sp?) and crossed our fingers. She seemed okay...then last night (after a big temp change, and an LJKASDLKJASL who thought trick or treating outside in the cold wind and going to a bonfire were a good idea for an asthmatic child) the asthma hit again, but with a fever and cough, so we're thinking now she has H1N1. Back to around the clock breathing treatments, and I need to figure out somewhere to call to see if we should get her back on what's left of the Tamiflu.
Thanks for asking ((hugs)). This whole winter will most likely be one asthma adventure after another. Michigan is not kind to our asthma diva. I'm sorry, y'all are most likely sick to death of my whining.

J

Those are beautiful. I'm hiding them from Hannah so she doesn't mistakenly think I could manage something that beautiful!

Aloha! I'm Melinda, and I have been lurking your thread (on and off) since about February of last year.

Welcome Melinda!!! The outfits are cute!

and my DS as Harry Potter

Cute Cute Cute! We had an HP Halloween here, too!

Oh wow.

What a beautiful Belle!

We did manage to do some trick or treating last night. Our local radio station put on a Trunk or Treat INSIDE a car dealership. Local businesses were the ones passing out candy. It was AWESOME, particularly that it was INSIDE. Then we went to my parents and grandpa's houses or the obligatory visits, and off to the High School where the kids can trick or treat from room to room, get a picture, get their faces painted, etc (again, all inside! yay!)

Here's my crew...not sure if I should post as I made NONE of it, we just didn't have the time.

My fabulous Flappers, Emilee (13) and Lizzie (10. When they found out their Great-Great Grandma was a REAL Flapper they had to be one! Of course, they had a bit of an "edited" idea of all a flapper was!

Hermione:

Harry and Hagrid: (for the new people, these are the glasses my son wears every day, yes, they are real!)

The HP crew (I don't know why I have this horrid expression on my face, I promise I was in a good mood!)

Dueling Hermione and Draco (for some reason Ryker did NOT want many pictures!)

Harry and Draco, the early years

The Husband as Hagrid...and at 6'6", the best Hagrid EVAH!

 

[emcreative]

Oh! We also had two birthdays here this month!

Emmy turned 13 on October 9th:

Lizzie turned 10 on October 17 (and was so happy a new baby of a Dis'er was born on her "Birthday Eve"...she still smiles about it and feels special!)

(Wearing HeatherSue's awesome embroidery pattern on her shirt!)

Wow! Simply amazing! She looks just like her!!!

 

[ibesue]

oh thank you.. We did them tuesday and sadly they looked icky halloween night.. they had to be tossed this am!

I am feeling much better! 16 weeks and well almost half way there!!! woo hoo!!!!! still have problems eating food etc.. takes a long time to finish a meal.. and still a tad tired a lot.. but otherwise fabulous!!

Lori

Yeah, the last time we did pumpkins ahead of time, they were like that too!
Happy to hear your pregnancy is doing so well. The food issues will go away, and there will be a few days that you have energy! Are you going to find out the sex of the baby? If so, only a few weeks!

Start sharing missy! I've already shared a few of mine, oddly they all seem to involve the same part of my anatomy!


If only people could read our minds!

No, wait, that wouldn't be so good either!

I don't think we want to know what we are thinking!

OKAY, I will share, but others have to too!!

So this was a LONG time ago. Sarah (Kadie's mom) was still in elementary school! So DH drops me off at work and I walk into the atrium we had where I worked and headed to the elevators. Since DH dropped me off, I was early to work. As I am walking to the elevator, I slip in a puddle of water and actually fall on my bum... (see, it involves the same body part!). I jumped up, picked up everything, looking around to see if anyone saw. No one around, whew! BUT, I am missing a shoe. I start looking around but what can I do. Its no where to be found. People start coming and now everyone is looking around to find my shoe. It's no where to be found. Oh, and my bottom is wet, it was a good sized puddle that I sat in! I just can't stop laughing, but wondering what I am going to do. No car, its before cell phones, so no way to find DH to come pick me up to go find shoes until he is all the way to work. Everyone is stumped, what the heck happened to my shoe??? Then..... the elevator comes down and opens up and what is sitting in the middle of the elevator??? My shoe???? Now I really can't stop laughing. Through out the day, people would come ask me about my shoe! Someone even drew a picture of my shoe with the elevator saying "come here my little pretty"!

So I walked around in torn pantyhose all day (I said it was a long time ago) and everyone knew what happened. Now this might be one of those times that you had to be there to think it was funny. But to this day, its still at the top of my list of funny things that have happened to me!

Thanks. I needed to hear that.

You are missed!

We have a couple of October birthdays too! Kadie is the 1st, my sister is the 16th & Lizzie & I share the 17th!

I hope the family is feeling better soon!

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lori;
Glad you're starting to feel a bit better; now is the "fun" trimester; great job on the costumes, and I can't believe how big JoJo's getting. They grow up way too fast.

I am hoping this trimester sticks around a bit.. lol... need to keep fun lori!!

 

[snubie]

All the costumes look great. I never did get a good pic of Lauren as Fancy Nancy. I was actually a bit bummed; when I dropped Lauren off at preschool on Friday (they could wear costumes on Friday), no one knew who she was. Not one of the little girls in her class knew who Fancy Nancy was - do these kids not get read too?!?!
For reference here is her costume:

And on a non-sewing note: I am so done with this pregnancy. I want little Megan Grace to get here and now. I am just whining and know that I am incredibly lucky to be pregnant at all (sought fertility treatments to get pregnant this time) but I hurt, I can't sleep and the heartburn is constant. Whining done for now. Thanks for listening.

1) Fancy Nancy is so cute, love the pettiskirt underneath. I organized a reader's party for pre-k through 2nd grade and we could not get the parents to be quiet enough so the kids could hear the readers. I was so mad and said to a parent, you would think these people have never been to story time and she looked at me and said, I've never taken my kids to story time! So it's true (but all the same frustrating).

2) We can't wait for Megan Grace to get here either. I was never in love with being pregnant either, especially with the second one, just uncomfortable all the time. Good thing the end result is worth it!

 

[SallyfromDE]

Congrats! I forgot, which one did you get?

I got the Brother PE-780D(isney). I still haven't had time to take it out of the box and play around with it. And to think, I was only going to the sewing store to get an $8 spool of bobbin thread!

The not reading to your kids is mind-blowing to me. Granted I am a librarian by training (also a physical therapist) so that may be why I am biased. We have read to Lauren since she was just a tiny baby. I was taking her to library story time when she was one year old. We still go occasionally when it fits into her school and activity schedule.

I told DH that there was a Megan Grace in FL that was looking forward to the arrival of our Megan Grace and he thought I was nuts.

 

[karebear1]

Don't stay away so long next time! Don't you know we need you here?

I read (or scan is probably a better word) this thread everyday T. So I'm here, just not HERE.... kwim? I'm just having a hard time right now, so I'm not too chatty, but don't you worry friend! I got your back end.... errrr.......ummmmmm......... BACK when you need me!

Funny story. I hope you recorded that elsewhere- those are the kinds of things kids love to hear about their parents. Makes more human!

Thanks for the hug.

I knew this was a fancy nancy costume before I even read your post! It's great! It looks just like her! I can't believe they didn't know who she is! In fact, we try to buy our kids books for special occasions and my oldest DD got the Fancy Nancy Halloween book from us yesterday.

They all look great and you're right, Jayden would be gorgeous with red hair, too- I think it's her eyes!

My girls somehow missed "Fancy Nancy" but I could tell exactly who it was!

And hon, it's okay to complain even having gone through everything you did to get pregnant!! It doesn't negate the fact you're thankful!! (This seems to be a common feeling among pregnant woman who've been through fertility treatments, or moms after adoptions- we somehow don't give ourselves permission to admit our struggles just like everyone else has had. It's okay!)

Love Love Love Everyone's Costumes! Especially fond of Sally and the two pirate lasses...you gals did an outstanding job!
