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

[revrob]

Ladies who are busy sewing for many different people and would like portraits of your stuff, contact me if you need some photography work done. This isn't anything I'm charging for, so I think it would be okay to post?

If not, please slap my hand, Teresa, before the disboard gods do. But I'm thinking since I'm just offering to help and not asking to buy or sell anything it's okay?

OOH! sounds interseting!

Marah- is there any chance that you might still be considering a sunnier, warmer state? Because I'd happily drive to Dallas ish to have some of your photos of my kiddos- heck I'd even spring for Lunch!

I promise next time we visit family in The Colony (or as soon as we move) I would be more than happy to take pictures of your kiddos.

This, alas, would have otems that can be shipped back and forth, that you'd like photographed and "prettied up" for posting.

But PLEASE do not fed-ex me your children. With as many as we have, and the foster parenting license on our wall saying it's legal for us to have unexpected drop-ins, it may take me a while to realize they are not mine and I need to send them back!

Please add me to the list! PLEASE!

I have my Babylock Ellageo Plus sitting in the box in my dinning room. I am afraid to open it. I am in awe of the things it can do compared to my regular sewing machine.

Get that bad boy out of the box and get to work, sister! No sense in wasting stitch time! You're gonna love it!

I think I can...I think I can...

We leave Saturday for 5 days...I have 3 outfits finished completely, 1 dress nearly completed and no clue what to do for the 4th day!

Did I mention I also have to finish a quilt before we leave. I have a feeling I will have some late nights for the rest of the week.

Anyone got any cute Daisy ideas? Daisy is dd's fav but I don't see too many customs with her. Maybe I am just not looking in the right places. I have seen some safari designs...but we don't usually do Animal kingdom.

Here is one I made for the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot. It is much cuter on!

I have another that I just need to sew up the jeans too. I also have done a birthday shirt Daisy and an AK one.

Here is another that has Daisy on it.

Mickey and Pluto are on the sides too. Just kind of hard to see in the above picture.

Oh, found a better one. I made two so flipped where the characters were on each dress.

These are adorable! The colors are so fun!

Great stuff Jessica!

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

Thanks for all of the compliments on the kids costumes and the get better wishes. I really am sick of being sick right now! I woke up last night just knowing that now I also have a UTI...so back to the DR! I am going to tell him to give me something STRONG!

Oooh, great job! What pattern did you use for Patric! I want to make Danny an Obi Wan Kenobi outfit for Christmas, but can't find any kind of pattern in kids sizes; ugh!

Thank you!

I had no pattern. All of the patterns are OOP. I searched everywhere for one...but they were selling for like $40 on ebay and etsy and I was NOT paying that price. So I did a lot of research and winged it from there on all of the costumes. This site gives lots of great details on the costumes and I used it as a guide http://www.padawansguide.com/index.shtml

Jessica....I got the hint! Be ready for way too many pictures though! Jessica also made the matching tees for my hubby and I! Make her show you pictures of them too. While not Daisy....they are adorable! Especially for the Epcot Flower and Garden festival!!

 

[busy mommy]

You're work amazes me. These are just perfect!

 

[jessica52877]

Great stuff Jessica!

Thanks! Taking pictures later tonight of the last Daisy! Hopefully it will be in the mail tomorrow!

LOL! I almost stole one and just posted it! This is my favorite dress I have ever made (minus making the ruffles).

Holy Cow, I so love this!!! Do you mind sharing what pattern you used for the bodice? I could never hope to CASE this completely, but think that bodice might be great for some dresses for DD for our June trip!

I was going to tell Jessica that there's no way the dress was cuter on- until I saw it on your DD- and she's right! She looks amazing in it- I love, love, love all the butt ruffles!

I wouldn't have minded! Those ruffles are killer, and all the fabrics came together so beautifully didn't they?!?!?! I don't know if it's my favorite though. The witch and pluto are adorable!!

Amazing!!

Thanks for the compliment. I am the worlds biggest sucker for any kind of ruffle....but butt ruffles are the best!

 

[NiniMorris]

OK...Thanks Jessica (said sarcastically!) Now that I know there can be butt ruffles on the Vida I have to start working on figuring that out!

I thought I had seen butt ruffles on the Vida, but couldn't find any pictures of it so I thought I was crazy. At least we know that in regards to that I am not crazy....

I see lots of experimenting in my future....I have 15 months to get it right....

I hope you are all healed up for your trip! It's coming up quickly! We've missed you around here! And we've missed our Cryon Rollup girl!



I think mine must be different, because I don't know what a spreader is! I don't have to put anything on when I do a rolled hem. My cutter just flips up out of the way, I change a little levery thing to Rolled hem tighten the tension and change the stitch length.

Thanks anyway. I haven't had the serger for very long, and am just figuring out how to do a few different things.

Great outfits Jessica!! And you're right, they do look better on. Glad you posted those pics Camping Griswald.

You might want to start watching Ebay again for these out of print patterns. They typically really spike in price right before Halloween. Now that it's over, you stand a better chance of getting a decent price. Good luck! I did a Luke for my son many years ago, but the patterns were still in print then!

We must have just missed each other, we were in Epcot on the same day! That outfit is sooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!

I try hard to keep up with this thread, but sadly..I am behind again! Anyway, this is the latest projects that I have been working on...some of you may have seen this on my facebook page..but here is a disney princess cuties outfit that I completed yesterday - designs from our very own Heathersue!

Today is also the 50th day of school for my Kirsten. All the 1st graders were asked to dress in the 50s attire.

I bought the poodle design from swakembroidery (thanks to Sue, who shared with me where she got hers!)

Here are some pictures that I took this morning before school:

DS didn't want to be left out of the pictures:

Here are Maddie's new hippie jeans. I just realized I forgot to topstitch. Maybe I will remember later. Thanks again Steph for your wonderful tutorial!

Very cute.

I really can't post this anywhere else yet...the news media don't have it yet....and it is still developing.

They just found a 'grow house' practically next door to me! My husband is a police officer! There are 2 other police officers that live in our subdivision.

I always thought we lived in a quiet and safe neighborhood! I guess today, there is no such thing as a safe neighborhood. I am so upset I can barely type!

Nini

Sorry to hear this. I understand your worried about property value and such. They say you can't really know your neighbors anymore and it's so true.

Heather and Teresa - I just went back to work this week after being off 2 weeks for my shoulder surgery. It still hurts quite a bit but hopefully will be a-okay for our trip to Disney World on Dec. 11th. We're meeting the kids and grandkidlets so I can't wait! Seeing everyone's beautiful creations has me longing to get back to the sewing machine - it has killed me not to be able to participate in the last few Big Gives; I think I'm having crayon rollup withdrawal. Or it could be the pain meds....

Glenda

Glad your surgery was successful and hope that the pain goes away quickly.

The worst part for us was that the 8 police cars came racing down our street and they surrounded the house just as DS's 8th birthday party was starting

Oh my!

(and that is not even the worst thing that happened in our small town today. A three year old was mauled by a pit bull. He is not expected to make it! I think it is time to hibernate!)
nini

How horrible!

Remember the last two that got sent here we decided to keep forever!

(I've had the baby girl bug lately, I think that's what's making me want another dog so much right now...I'm trying to talk myself out of that one too)

Okay, here I come again. That's how we ended up with 4 cats. Baby hunger. I went into the shelter in a moment of hormonal weakness and came out with the entire litter. That's also how I ended up with the dog again. I had said that I would never have another dog after Ember died (the last year was VERY difficult due to her advanced age/health problems) and exactly one day after we put her down I was begging DH for a puppy. But really it was baby hunger. I have to say, that even though Riley is a GREAT dog, I've never bonded to her the way I bonded to Ember. I'm at a place in my life where my kids are my life now, not my pets. When we had our first 2 cats and our Dalmatian, they WERE my babies. kwim? And I have to say that pets really don't get rid of baby hunger. And having a dog, which can be a great pet for kids, isn't the same as the first 1 1/2 years of a high/energy maintenance puppy. People told me this too, and I didn't listen to them--in fact it sometimes offended me. But if I had to do it over, I would have waited.

My parents sent us to Maui for our honeymoon. I chose honeymoon over big wedding. I did look at the link you posted. Here are my criteria for a place to stay somewhere in Hawaii:
1. really big jacuzzi tub in the room
2. NEW.. the newer or newer renovated the better. If its new I figure I have a good chance of a good mattress. I have a bad back and have had too many vacations ruined by a bad mattress!! I either try to find a new hotel or something super nice.. IDK why but Hyatts and places like that always have nice mattresses.
Okay, I admit it.. I'm high maintenance.

Definitely going to look into Kauai more now. I hadn't really heard much about it before. Going to read your trip report thingy that TeresaJoy posted too.
Here is my favorite place we have stayed on a weekend getaway.
http://eurekaspringstreetopcottages.com/
Maui was definitely a better place to vacation, but this place was better for um.. other stuff. All of the stuff we did as far as site seeing and all that was better in Maui for sure though. I did not like our room though. I guess it is pretty bad that I am so worried about my mattress and my hot tub..
We are going back to the treetop cottages in January, and I am so excited about it.

Those cottages look like fun! We've been to the big island, Kauai & Maui (although it was about 25 years ago, so I don't know how helpful anything I say is.) I liked Kauai the best. It's the most lush, and is so beautiful. I'm high maintenance too. While I like a good mattress, I'm actually more worried about mold, and go for newer/nicer places in the hopes that they won't have mold or at least as much.

I have my Babylock Ellageo Plus sitting in the box in my dinning room. I am afraid to open it. I am in awe of the things it can do compared to my regular sewing machine.

Open it girl!

Those are just beautiful!

Thanks for all of the compliments on the kids costumes and the get better wishes. I really am sick of being sick right now! I woke up last night just knowing that now I also have a UTI...so back to the DR! I am going to tell him to give me something STRONG!

Sorry you are still sick. UTI's are the worse!
