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

[twob4him]

I updated my trip report again ....

 

[Tweevil]

Hi Guys!

THanks so much for the replies on the cake. I didn't really take the time on the fondant that I should but I figured drawing the other stuff is what mattered. lol

Anyhoo... love, love, love everyone's creations! I also love the 'curtains', I have a tea towell variety of that going on right now - water soluable stabilizer has to dry so I put mine up there like that too.

And... if anyone is looking - I found the Princess Tiana sheet sets at Family Dollar for (*I think*) $19 - the areas with her on it would make some pretty big panels for somthing. Thought I would share.

 

[momto2cuties]

This has very little to do with sewing...but I wanted to share with you guys because you are my Dis-connection!

I just finished sewing the "Bear Chair" for my daughter's school fund raiser, and hubby and I had to hop on a plane for a conference in Orlando. This is the first time we've gone on a trip without children...since before they existed!

So after spending two straight days in lectures and whatnot, we decided to go to Hollywood Studios. (and felt like we were cheating on the kids!)

I had packed the Mickey-head shirts I had hand embroidered for the whole family before our trip on June...just in case we got to go!

So....I don't know what compelled me to do it. Really! We were walking by the American Idol Experience building, and the guy waved me over. I didn't even realize what it was, because I'm oblivious to the TV world. I've heard of the show, but never actually watched it... I thought it was a big karyoke "game."

So I go inside with Hubby. They put me in a room with a "producer" who tells me that he likes our "bootleg" shirts, and that they are "actually pretty good ones," whatever that means! He said, you're pretty good, but you need to loosen up a little bit. I'm going to send you up to the next audition!

So I went through the next audition, just sure that would be the end...and got picked to be in a show! They had me go to "hair and make-up" and see a vocal coach, and all-of-the-sudden I was on the stage. It was surreal!!!!

The crazy part was... I won the show! I'm a 36 year old mother of 2 wearing a mickey-head t shirt! How can this happen? And the even bigger question: How can this happen on an unplanned trip to Disney when I wasn't even going to tell the kids we went?

So I got to be in the finale show that night! I didn't win that one, but it was so amazing to be a part of it. Wow! I still can't believe it happened!

I guess I get what I deserve for going without the kids. The people handed me two photopass cards with pics from both of the shows. I didn't even know we were going to go to the park that day, let alone pre-order a photopass. Don't I have to buy the cd now? I mean, this is never going to happen to me ever again, right?

And by the way...I didn't see a single custom the whole day. Isn't that weird?

Wow! What an amazing story! Of course you have to buy the photopass CD!! I can't wait to see pics!

I love to lurk on your board. I wish I was as creative as you guys. I usually only look back over the last few pages but never comment. Today I just have to say that I love the cars outfit. That is so cute!! My son is a huge cars fan. I also love the little einstines shirt. You guys have so much talent!!

 

[carrie6466]

Mary Ann...I have a quilt I have 90% finished for my first baby...he will have a birthday the day after Thanksgiving...he will be 32. I think I may have beat you on the oldest UFO!!!

Nini

I have to mention that I started to crochet a baby blanket when I was pregnant. I never got to finish it and I still have what I actually did do on it. My son is 20. I thought I was bad

awww, thanks! I made that one, and I appreciate you coming out of lurkdom to comment on it; however, I promise you that you could make that; especially the shorts. I couldn't sew at Easter, and if I can do it, so can you. Also, feel free to comment anytime- you're welcome here!

 

[NaeNae]

This is totally off topic but I thought you guys would get a kick out of it. DGD5 called me earlier to tell me she was watching " Princess Diarrhea 2". My DD was dying laughing and had to let her call me and tell me. DD then corrected her by telling her it was Princess Diaries 2.

WOW! How cool!!! Congratulations!!!

You know you could just pay to download a few photos rather than pay the $150 for the CD.

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if there is a machine embroidery person out there who just help me understand a design.

I purchased the adorable mickey and minnie pilgrims from stitchontime. I printed out the picture which has a chart with a list of 23 different thread changes. I dont understand why some of the changes are there? wont they be covered in the end? also not positive what each step is showing me to do??? Any tips would be appreciated!! Thanks!!

 

[lovesdumbo]

I've actually been sewing the past couple of weeks. I hadn't made anything since July.

I've been working on a few Christmas gifts. I made my niece (she's 30 something) and her DD(6) matching aprons and I made one pot holder using the free pattern on ycmt. I still need to make another one but ran out bias binding.

I really like they style of the child's apron-just over the head-no ties. It is the "Child's no tie apron" on ycmt. Not sure I like the adult one-it is a Simplicity pattern-it called for 1/4" bias binding but that was driving me crazy so I gave up and switched to 1/2".

I made my niece's husband and my BIL "trendy trash bags" from ycmt-they hang off a head rest or stick shift.

 

[lovesdumbo]

My oldest DD(10) picked out fabric for me to make her best friend a name pillow for Christmas. Of course she need one too. I still have to sew them shut.

I've already got the name sewn out for my youngest DD and hope to make one for my DS. Then I've got plans for at least one maybe 2 more. They are pretty fun!

 

[lovesdumbo]

And I finally started sewing for our trip in 2 weeks.

For my Pooh loving 10 year old. She tends to think she's too old for customes but I think she really loves this.

And something for me! I've been wanting to make this for months.

I need to stitch these and then I also want to do Christmas Minnie T's. And would love to do Christmas Minnie/Mickey for my friend and her DH that we're going with but I'm running out of time.

A lot of the steps are the outline stitch and tack down stitch. Those will eventually be covered up with the satin stitch. The 1st stitch is the outline stitch to show you what size piece of fabric to lay down over it. Step 2 is the tack down stitch (usually a zig-zag) that holds the fabric down. After it tacks it down you slid your hoop off the machine, DO NOT REMOVE THE FABRIC FROM THE HOOP, and cut the fabric as close to the stitches as possible. Put you hoop back on and go to the next step. Sometimes it will do the satin stitch next and sometimes it will go on to the next outline/tack down stitch and it will eventually come back and do the satin stitch.

I don't do all the different colors for the outline and tack down stitches. Those are different colors so the machine knows to stop in between steps.

If you have anymore questions I'll try to help.

 

[Mom2SamandJames]

I will hopefully post a few pictures of the turkey costume I made for my son's preschool teacher and of him in his pilgrim costume this week. The program is Friday. Until then, I wanted to share with you ladies what I did with my two little ones on Veteran's Day while we were at home. Hope you all enjoy their "artwork".

I let me boys do all the painting on the pumpkins. They strung the beads for the turkey too. We had a blast!

[VBAndrea]

Well, I finished AK outfits (except for the shirt Andrea is bringing me on Monday), finshed CP pants and almost finished the princess tunics.
So I tried the tunic on my youngest...it doesn't fit over her head She has a big head and I never thought it wouldn't fit. I was trying to find a way to get fix it to make it fit...any ideas???

Still have M&M dresses, 1900 PF outift, and a stripskirt jumper to do. I have tonight when I get off work, Tuesday night and Wednesday night...will I get it all done???? I've given up on the outfit I really want to make for 1900 PF and may just do shirts. Oh well.

Love all the costumes and outfits. You guys are so inspiring. Pictures will be coming (when I have a break in the sewing or work..LOL)


Andrea...what kind of work do you do or think you are looking to do?

I will bring you the shirt this morning so you can finish up your AK outfits tonight. I couldn't sew at all yesterday b/c I need fabric!!!! (That's OK, I spent 5 hours outside cleaning up the front yard after the strom). I hope I can find the fabric I'm looking for today. Have you ever been to Fabric Hut? A lady in line at Joanne's was telling me about it. If Joanne's doesn't have everything I need I'll scope it out today.

You willl have your work cut out for you the next few nights! I would say if you just had one child to sew for you could get it all done. Do the easiest things first to get things completed and then if you are short it will be just one outfit. I feel really behind as well, but I was able to make a Jasmine dress with applique in less than 2 days so that inspired me for my Tusker dress as it's applique is pretty simple too. I seem to have more trouble coming up with things for ds than anything.

I am an optometrist. DH is a SWO Nuke so he gets a nice Nuke bonus and if we didn't have a house we're losing money on in RI we'd be fine financially. It's the extra house (that we bought at the height and couldn't sell for a loss) that's killing us. It's rented out until next fall -- but at a loss. DH is on his third look for command so we are kind of hoping he doesn't make it so he can try to go up to RI and teach. I'm quite sure we can sell our house here and we bought here way before the spike in the housing market so we'll profit even if we decide to do a quick sale. Things are selling in our neighborhood here though, so I don't think we'd need to do a quick sale here. Things in RI are not selling.

I can't wait to see pics of your dresses and such for your girls.

This has very little to do with sewing...but I wanted to share with you guys because you are my Dis-connection!

I just finished sewing the "Bear Chair" for my daughter's school fund raiser, and hubby and I had to hop on a plane for a conference in Orlando. This is the first time we've gone on a trip without children...since before they existed!

Oh my! How awesome for you! I guess you have no choice but to tell the kids now. on the comment about the bootleg shirts.

I love to lurk on your board. I wish I was as creative as you guys. I usually only look back over the last few pages but never comment. Today I just have to say that I love the cars outfit. That is so cute!! My son is a huge cars fan. I also love the little einstines shirt. You guys have so much talent!!

Thanks for the compliments and start sewing! I promise you I was a sewing idiot b/f this board. I took home ec sewing and tried making my kids a couple of things when they were babies -- one dress I couldn't even put on dd b/c I messed it up and the shirt I made ds was worn once b/c after it's first wash the collar came apart. I put the sewing away. But now, thanks to all on this board, I discovered You Can Make this patterns and it's made life so easy. There are no stupid darts and everything is explained in English with pictures.

This is totally off topic but I thought you guys would get a kick out of it. DGD5 called me earlier to tell me she was watching " Princess Diarrhea 2". My DD was dying laughing and had to let her call me and tell me. DD then corrected her by telling her it was Princess Diaries 2.

Now that sounds like something my dd would say! When she was 2 or 3 she was really into rhyming. She would say a word and then rhyme anything with it even if it wasn't a word. For example, she would say "rug, bug, hug, cug, sug." Well, one day, when we at dinner at my sister's house with other guests she decided to rhyme with duck at the dinner table. I need not say anymore.

I've actually been sewing the past couple of weeks. I hadn't made anything since July.

I made my niece's husband and my BIL "trendy trash bags" from ycmt-they hang off a head rest or stick shift.

Everything looks great. I may need to invest in the hot pad pattern. Mine get trashed so readily.

My oldest DD(10) picked out fabric for me to make her best friend a name pillow for Christmas. Of course she need one too. I still have to sew them shut.

I've already got the name sewn out for my youngest DD and hope to make one for my DS. Then I've got plans for at least one maybe 2 more. They are pretty fun!

Dawn

Are you sure you didn't do the painting yourself ? We received a Wilton Haunted House cookie set for Halloween and I let my kids have it. It turned out hilarious and they had a blast doing it all themsleves. I love the beaded turkey -- are the beads just strung on wire?

Aaha - thank you!! I was wondering why I needed to change the colors for tack down!!! Lol!! I was going crazy with all the colors!! I hope i can figure it out!! I wish it actually told me some how when it was a "real stitch" that would be seen.

So, I fell of the face of the Earth for a little more than a week. Kaedyn had cheer competition this past weekend and I was in charge of organizing the goodie bags for the troops. Cheer Power was accepting them and would pay to ship overseas. So, we managed to collect and package 114 We were very proud of ourselves!!!

Kaedyn won her competition! Yippee!! Then, yesterday I finished the outfit I had been working on. I only have 15 days left. So, I need to get sewing!!!

Here is my version of the Cindy princessified Simply Sweet. The script on the back says...A dream is a wish your heart makes. I can't wait to catch up and see what everyone has been working on. I am always so inspired!!!

I think I can get it done...it's just between that and actually packing I'm not sure. LOL. I'm doing one outfit at a time and we'll see where I end up. Thanks for bringing the shirt by (I know you wont' see this to later though).

I've never heard of fabric hut....where is it?

That stinks about the house in RI. We were lucky to buy here right before the spike also. I think this area is different than most with all the military moving in and out. There is always a new buyer moving into the area so that keeps us from having a really bad market.
