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

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

Just got back from Joann's. Not as crazy as I might have thought. Although the ladies getting all the fleece were crazy. Not very many people looking at the flannel!
I did get two bolts of 1.49 flannel, an Ott light, some quilting tools (gotta love tools and gadgets!), thread, scrapbooking stuff, and some other things. Line was not bad at all, and I didn't make it in until a few minutes after 6:00 am.
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Leighanna wore her wrap dress that I made.

Wish I could have gone there but my DH had to work and I didn't want to take my girls out that early in the AM. I really want some flannel but their website still won't work! Is anyone else still having this problem? Is the flannel on sale all day or only until 11am?

Leighanna looks very pretty in her dress!

We're going June 5th through the 13th. Now that we've told the kids it really feels "real" like I can get excited about it; the kids have been poring over the guidebooks and checking out the dis and allears because we told them instead of birthday parties here at home, they'd each have their own day at Disney. DD (no surprise here) wants to start the day w/ a girls breakfast at the castle, head to BBB, spend the day at MK, and finish at 1900 park faire (who am I to argue with a practically perfect princess plan?) DS wants to go to AK, start w/ breakfast at Tusker house, and end w/ dinner at Chef Mickey's (but he also wants to check out pirate league while his sis is at BBB). They loved the surprise- I don't have pics but I took video; I just don't have any idea how to get it on here DS broke my heart just a little though; I made invitations from Mickey and Minnie and he took one look at them and said, Mommy, you so made these; this is the mickey font cartridge from your cricut; and I said, well yes, but Mickey was busy today, and he asked me to make them up for him. My 7 y/o shook his head sadly and said, Mom, mom, mom... you do know Mickey's just a guy in a costume, right? He even held my hand while he said it. I just said, well, Mickey's real to me. He's still super excited to go, and paradoxically can't wait to see Pluto!

SO cool! I'm so glad the plan went of well - you guys are gonna have a great time planning!

Can anyone open Joann fabrics website right now?

I can't get on now. I'm disappointed - I was gonna try to order flannel rather than going to Hancock's this morning. Oh well.

 

[Cibahwewah]

I had all the fabric I wanted ordered on joann.com and left it in the "shopping cart" to check out this AM. Arghh! Can't get on the site either.

So CUTE!

I was at JoAnn's just before it opened. There were more folks in line this year but they must have not been buying as much because the cutting lines and check out weren't bad. I bought 3 yards of fleece, a TON of flannel, some Mickey fabric (with 50% off coupon), poly fill, 2 ott table lamps, an ott floor lamp, rotary cutting blades....it came to $200 (the floor lamp was 1/2 of that) but I "saved" almost $400. I was back in my car at 7am.

Off to go do some more sewing, try to figure out the AGD Vida, and PACK!!!! Look at that ticker.

I need to go to Hancock's today and I am scared.

 

[coteau_chick]

I have a question for those of you who made rag quilts. Did you use batting? What tutorial did you use? Any tips you wish you would have known ahead of time? Thanks in advance for answering. I want to make one for my dd. I was wondering if you really have to use batting.

 

[tricia]

For the rag quilt, depends on how heavy you want it. I could see doing a baby one, or one for a small child without batting. You could also just use another layer of flannel in between the 2 outside flannels. That would make it a little heavier. If you do this in a co-ordinating flannel I would cut it the same size as my squares, if in one that does not match I would do it 1 - 2" smaller each way.

OY!! I really want to go to Jo-Anns, but I'm sure everything is pretty picked over by now being that its now nearly 430pm...plus I'm having a PJ day because I camped out at Wal-fart from midnight to 5am! I know, I'm crazy, but I saved a TON of money on toys. Gotta love price matching

I went there at midnight with the intention of price matching the TRU midnight ad, and when I saw they had up-wrapped all of their door buster deals I decided to spend the night

 

[livndisney]

OK, I gave into temptation and went to Joanns's. I spent 30.00 and SAVED 109 (Love that part LOL). I bought flannel. I had a weak moment and went crazy on FLANNEL! Some lady walked up to me and told me she was going to follow me around since she wanted the fabric I had in my hand. LOL. I had to tell her I was buying it all. My DD wants us to have matching Pj's so for 1.49 a yard-we can match . I have the frist two pairs of dolls Pj's done only 800 more

You're tempting me, but I so don't want to change out of my PJs today Sounds like fun!! I had people stalking me and my cart at Wal-fart last night too I scored the last Handy Manny workbench and folks were drooling over it. The best part was I had the K-mart add for a FREE talking tool box with purchase My boys want to play with it every time we pass it at Target, so I think they are going to love it. Have fun making your PJs!!

You to..... So did DD and I. We went to TRU and it was wrapped around the building and they were only going to let 25 in at a time. We loaded back up and headed to WM. Normally all the early bird deals are wrapped and sealed and they won't open them until 5. Our's let us pick everything up and we had everything in our buggies by 2. Then it was time to sit and wait to check out at 5, so we spent the night at WM too. We walked out of there at exactly 5:00am. After several more stops we made it home about 9 and headed to bed for a nap. Needless to say we will be going to bed early tonight.

Hi Everyone. I hope everyone had fun shopping today. I ran out, but only came home with a few things..I spent the day sewing..sorry for all of the pictures..the Santa dress is for Lexie when she sees Santa this year, Ireland will have something to match, but not a dress. Most likely a skirt. The Minnie, Mickey Vida we aren't keeping, but I love it. I don't think we will make it to Disney this year for Christmas.

VERY NICE!!

Here are the kids in their Turkey Day outfits! I love Carla's A-Line pattern. It is super easy. I cheated a little and used some Stitch-Witchery to close it up.

DD and I went to Kohl's but we didn't go until 11:30am. I can't think straight past 9:00 pm so I don't go anywhere at midnight I am not ready to start my Christmas shopping but the kids needed some things. I got them each a winter coat, two pairs of Levi's jeans for Ethan and two character shirts for a Birthday Gift all for only $135. Not too bad considering one of the coats was OshKosh and the other was Columbia. I also got $20 in Kohl's cash to spend later.

Here are some pics of a few things I made before we went on our trip in October. . .I haven't had a chance to share these yet.
I added a Mickey Head and a name to a Store-bought blanket for DS's teacher

Blankets for New Babies

A little sweatshirt for the dog

An Elmo Simply Sweet Jumper for my niece who turned 1

Both of these are looking for a new home
I made this 101 Dalmatians jumper for our trip it is a size 8 but it was too big for DD

Then I made this one but DD didn't like it because it is a dress and she never wore it.

Hopefully they can find a little girl who will love them...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

I made the baby a modified CarlaC A-line jumper (I printed the one for the AG doll and the 6 month size and made a pattern that was somewhere in between the two sizes). I also left it open at the bottom instead of the side (and thus having to hand sew) and used bias tape on the bottom.

I'm soooo excited to have my very own model for the things I make! This is the debut of my model in something I made (In the past I had to wait for people to send me pictures of their kiddos after I gave them something I made). . .

Here is what I made:

And here she is modeling it:

THANKS HEATHERSUE for your wonderful designs!!!

Dress, there's a dress? WHat dress? All I see is that adorable baby- oh, wait, yeah, the dress she's wearing is pretty darn cute; I have to say Adi, unfortunatly no matter how cute your clothes are now, they're going to take second place to the model
