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

[busy mommy]

Thanks...I didn't have the pattern...but I do now. I don't remember seeing it on a more grwon girl before and now I can show Katie and she should like it. It looks like it would be nice and cool in June. What size does your daughter normally wear in a top?

Abbie can wear a 10/12, but I usually buy her a 14/16 because she is so tall. She can also wear an x-small in juniors. She loved this top. I know there is a chart somewhere that will tell you how to enlarge a pattern. It may be on Carla's site. I'm sure someone knows where to find it.

LOVE the Vida! Can't wait to do one in the spring

What a PERFECT picture! Her face says it all

 

[Stephres]

I finished something finally! It is some silk I bought over a year ago and Carla's tunic pattern, without sleeves. It's very comfy but such a pain to make! I think I will stick with cotton from now on.

I LOVE the tunic without sleeves...what a great idea! I might buy the pattern just to make it that way You look tres chic

We went to see Santa yesterday and finished up our shopping. Sorry for the bad photo. It's a picture of a picture thing..My scanner is in the other room..LOL
The girls had fun shopping and today we made Christmas cookies already. In an hour or two, we are headed to the grocery to pick up last minute things for Christmas dinner. Boy I picked the wrong time of year to be on a diet. I've lost 13 pounds in the last two weeks, and hopefully won't gain any this week...

Was this at the Volusia Mall in Daytona? If so, I saw you girls from a distance, and thought they looked cute in their dresses and petis...if not, then they're still cute, and I saw someone else with similar outfits. I was making a mad dash through there before a Dr a nearby. The Santa line as surprisingly short.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Wow! 13 pounds in two weeks...what am I doing wrong?!?!?! It is a hard time of year to not eat...I hate it..until I look in the mirror at my "pudgy belly" (as Timmy calls it ) and it is slowly going away...so I resist the sweets and the junk.

I just gained 4 and am the heaviest I have been in years. I am now doing Wii fit for 30 minutes a day trying desperately to drop them back. I really want to drop 9 all together. We can do it!

Do you have to original Wii Fit or the new one? I've got the old one, but haven't been faithful with it in forever. I'll blame it on the new tv...the setup is different and I can't even figure out how to run the blue-ray if Savannah or Jay isn't home! I need to lose 30 lbs, and did well with the original Fit, but it did get boring after a bit. I need motivation, and thought maybe somethin new would help.

I can see it now, we're sewing and weight loss support here, lol!

 

[momtoprincess A]

Wow it feels like forever since I've been here.
I wanted to get all my sewing done before the 1st of Dec. but it didn't work out. Now it is all done and I have a bunch of pictures.
I really wish my DD was smaller again so I could make some of the really cute things the rest of you are making (OK a lot of the things you guys are making ~ I wouldn'w know where to start.)

First off I made Abby a Vida which I could only get her to wear once because she thinks it looks like a night gown. I was so proud of it because it was my first attempt at an aplique.
Anyway she was making gingerbread houses at school and these are the only pics I managed to get. (she says "Candy Mountain" crashed into her house)

Next I made Morgan some pj's to wear for Pancake Breakfast at school the last day. The front is the logo for the grade 6's and the back is the school logo. I didn't realize until after I got him to school that he was wearing jeans under his pants, that's why they look so tight.

I made 45 heating bags for all the teachers and special adults in my kids lives.
Here are only 15

I made stocking for the kids ~ I was only going to make one for Abby because the cheap one I bought at the $1 store last year was falling apart.
The boys saw her's and said "what about us"

OK Conor's not holding his up in the pic. That's Abby's in front of his face These were made out of things I aready had around the house.

Last but not least ~ Abby's pagent outfit at church. I was planning on making a crinolin but lost half the material when I shoved it all away when my parents came to visit. I have since found it ~ but too late.

I hope I didn't overload you with all the pics.

I finished my sewing marathon--easy fit PJs for everyone in the family. See CarlaC's blog for the story--I won her contest! Now I have no sewing to do for a while because my sewing room had to become a guest room again for the holidays. DD's 4th birthday is in January, and I have some projects mapped out in my head....now just need to get them to fruition. I have been loyally keeping up with this thread and am so impressed with all your creations. Happy Holidays to all you talented ladies and Tom and thanks for the inspiration. Prior to August I couldn't sew a straight seam, now my DD prefers the dresses I make her to anything store bought, and I'm skulking around the childrens boutiques for ideas.

 

[GrammaBelle]

I'm way behind on reading, but I love those princesses in winter cloaks! Where did you find the designs? I'm going to try and actually make some capes/cloaks for our visit next December!

Yes...that was us...small world..LOL

 

[disneymomof1]

To all my disboutique friends with DVC, which DVC resort is your favorite and why? We are coming into a little bit of money and want to buy a vacation club, maybe 200 points somewhere but unsure which resort. I'm sure we will buy a resale but really want to research and ask questions before I commit !!! And I am going to be sure to save enough to buy my embroidery machine, and after I get started on my new machine I'm sure heathersue will become my new best friend, I love all of her designs !!! !!!!!

Such a great pic! The girls look so sweet! Congrats on the weight loss...I found what you lost!!! lol! I used some of that same fabric too for a dress!

What a great idea...darn I wish I was in Ryan's class!

 

[kimmylaj]

thanks girls for all the compliments on mia's gingerbread outfit. she loved it and was a big hit at school. if i dont get back on b4 Christmas, have a very merry Christmas everyone

 

[teresajoy]

Well, I can't say they were burning. Or maybe they WERE burning but I was just too insanely behind to notice the flames shooting from my head!

I'd love to see any other photos you have of it. I fall in love with it more and more every time I see it..... Every time I meet one of the princesses, I feel like I should have them turn around and let me inspect the gowns in detail. But you don't suppose they would find that a bit "odd" do you????

I think mostly I'm ignoring it because I know that even if I made a great copy, I'd never get there before she's gone for good!

I guess I could make one for Katie to wear to the movie next week, but I'm kind of thinking that might be overkill!

Anyway.... I'm glad you saw her. And I'm glad you got to have a nice sister's getaway!

Like Heather said, we have pictures in our Facebook albums if you want to see them.
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=129965&id=677208159&l=f902999105

We had a fabulous getaway!

Teresa- I can't believe you saw a cricut on clearance! What was the price?

Sure wish I could've gone on the sisters trip- sounds and looks like you both had a great time!

Woops, I don't remember how much it was!

Enjoying all of the pics and creations!!! We got snow today!!! I can't remember the last time we got snow before Christmas~ had a fabulous day.....

They look so cute! And, I'm very jealous that you usually don't get snow before Christmas! I can only dream of such a thing!

We've been home a week and I finally feel like we're back to our usual routine. I hope to get a little trip report up on my blog... maybe after the holidays! In the meantime here are some pictures from our trip:

Day 3 we started in Epcot for EMH:

We also got to see Princess Tiana... hopefully the photopass pictures will be good... we gave our point-and-shoot camera to the handler but they came back blurry.

I hope I kept the right picture! The one of your daughter at Epcot is SOOOOO adorable!!! I love all her outfits!

All this cuteness on the board! AMAZING stuff ladies, you've outdone yourselves!

I snuck this candid shot...can you tell she's excited to dance?!?!

CUTE!!!! I'm glad she is feeling better!

Hi Everyone - cute pictures of Disney and Dancing and customs and the list could go on!! We had a winter wonderland here in the Philly area! I dont know if I've ever had this much now before Christmas!! It was so cool that it came on a Saturday so we didnt have to try to go to work!! I work at a hospital and never have a snow day!!

OH WENDY!! That is so pretty!!!

[/IMG]
sorry the second ones so big

That is cute!!! I love the petti!

Also- this isn't really a "crafted" picture but I did want to share one of Teresa's gorgeous petti's. Even surrounded by all the little girls in their Christmas dresses, Hannah got SO much attention tonight at Santa and dinner with her pretty petti on! It sure made her feel like a princess. Thanks Teresa for arranging this!! ((hugs))

I love seeing pictures of the pettis "in action"!!! Hannah looks so pretty!!! Could you post this one on my Fanpage wall on Facebook?

How much fun was that?!?!?! Color me jealous....who wants to be my sister so i can go to WDW family free? (I have a sis...but that would be more like torture than fun these days! I laugh becuase it is less painful than crying!)

Aww, Kim, I'm sorry you and your sister still aren't getting along. That is so sad.

Hey! I'm glad the two of you had a great time!! It was really neat meeting you and Heather Sue at the entrace of DHS on Monday! I was a little star struck meeting two famous disser's! I used several of Heather Sue's embroidery designs on the customs that I was able to finish before our trip and I would recommend them to everyone because they stitch out so quick, easy, and look fantastic when finished. The Cinderella designs I used on a patchwork twirl jumper top and a pair of double ruffled cuffed jeans and had so many compliments on them!

I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow of the customs that my daughter wore. We didn't get to do half of the table service meals that we had planned, or the parks. We arrived on Saturday night and on Tuesday morning, one at a time, we started getting sick with the stomach flu. We ended up having to stay an extra night and didn't get to go to most of our ADR's and didn't get to spend much time in the parks. It was kind of a rough first trip to Disney World. I've been so worried that we might have gotten Teresa and Heather sick. I really hope that the two of you didn't end up sick after meeting us!

I didn't see a lot of customs in the park but the ones that I saw were all really cute! My daughter, eldest son and I went to 1900 Park Fare on Wednesday night around 5-6:30pm. There was a family there with a blond girl with a Tinkerbell custom that was really cute. I have to say that 1900 Park Fare was excellent and we will definately go there again!

Oh NO! I'm sorry you guys got sick!!! That really stinks!!! It was so much fun to meet you! You guys were so cute!

My sister is such a blessing to me. I can't imagine not having a blast with her at Disney- or anywhere else, for that matter. We see each other all the time, but we can't seem to stop talking when we get together!

Heather, you are the best sister anyone could ever hope for!!!
It's true, we do talk alot when we are together!

Boy I picked the wrong time of year to be on a diet. I've lost 13 pounds in the last two weeks,

WOW!!! Congratulations!!! That's great!

Drive by post

Just got back from a quick NON disney trip to the AG Place, so I have no chance of catching up on this thread! I still have so much sewing to do and my serger is in the shop (yikes). I fell while I was gone so I am bruised and broken. And I still have to wrap EVERYTHING.

Who needs sleep right?

Oh no Cindee!!! Take care of yourself!!!! Did M get a new doll???

Steph, you look great!

I'll blame it on the new tv...the setup is different and I can't even figure out how to run the blue-ray if Savannah or Jay isn't home! I need to lose 30 lbs, and did well with the original Fit, but it did get boring after a bit. I need motivation, and thought maybe somethin new would help.

I can see it now, we're sewing and weight loss support here, lol!

My Mom just bought me the Wii Fit Plus (I've had the regular one for over a year too) and I LOOOOOVE IT!!! It is a lot of fun. I really like being able to design a routine all at once and then you don't have to stop after every exercise to pick something. It just flows better. I do wish you could skip the trainers "advice" that would make it even bettter! But, I really love the new games on it!

I also just got the new Your Shape featuring Jenny McCarthy Wii game and so far I am unimpressed with it. there is a camera that is suppose to scan you to make sure you are doing the moves right, but even when it seems like we are doing it exactly like it shows, it keeps telling us we are doing it wrong! It's mighty annoying! Plus, the exercises are pretty boring! Nothing fun like Wii Fit! I'm glad I didn't pay for this, I got it free from House Party.

I got this today! Lin brought in the box and was asking what I got from house party! I had NO idea and was super surprised and excited until I just read this although looking at the box I was getting less excited. I am sure I'll still like the fit better.

 

[*Toadstool*]

Totally not Disney related, but I need to share it anyhow.
Here's Hannah at her birthday party.

Her dress is a little more loud than I imagined it to be.. lol. You could definitely spot her in a crowd wearing it. I love that fabric, but I think I should have maybe used less of it!
I lost my multi quote, so I'll have to go back over.

Maybe it will work better for you! Try it out and let me know! When I exercise I don't like to remember I'm exercising!

 

[*Toadstool*]

I've lost 13 pounds in the last two weeks, and hopefully won't gain any this week...

Love the animal print mixed in there! Congrats on the weightloss. I am hoping to start my weightloss journey. I finally am completely pain free! woohoo! Hopefully I will finally be able to exercise.

Beautiful family.

Quick question- does anyone have any experience working with "heavy" velvets?

Beautiful picture!! I think it is Nicole that has made something with velvet.. I remember her telling me something about it. There are many different "velvets" if you use the good stuff you probably wouldn't have any trouble. I'd ask Nicole about it.. I think she made a coat...

Oh my goodness!! She is so precious in that dress. What a gorgeous dress! I would love to see a close up of the bodice.

I wish I had a table to put a runner on! So cute! I don't have a dining room or a dining room table.. just an island.

She looks adorable! I love anything brown and pink.

Omgosh! She looks soooo cute in all her customs. I love the Epcot pic the best I think. I think Snow White is still my favorite. That is such a cute idea! Great picture of you guys with Alice too. Where do you find Marie?? She is sooo pretty! I need to find her when we go!

Did you guys LOVE Princess and the Frog??? I am obsessed now. lol
Such a cute candid shot of Hannah. Glad she got to dance. Bless her!
