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

[Stephres]

I finally finished something! It took me a whole week and I was really working on it every day, had so many problems. I bought a charm pack and some of the squares went missing after a playdate (they were pretending to sew). Then my serger ran out of thread and that was an experience in itself. I wanted to put three little fish down the side of the shirt but the princess demanded one fish in the middle. Well, it's very twirly and I made it a skort so she can wear it to school so we are both happy!

Megan wanted to show off the fish buttons she picked out:

Is it too much? I have looked at it so much that I can't decide but it's definitely more whimsical than I am used to.

Coming back out of "window shopping" mode...

I hadn't been sewing much at all lately. We started clearing out our house to put on the market in September right after Claire started school and put it on the market in November, right before Thanksgiving. We are building a new house and it should be done in late April/early May. We could use some house selling vibes!

We have another trip planned for WDW...we were going to go in Oct, but 2 days after I booked the trip, I found out baby #3 is coming in August....so we pushed back to November for Molly's 3rd birthday. I am already planning customs in my head!

I made some easy fits and tote bags for gifts this year. Two friends of my MIL want to buy tote bags after they saw the Cars ones I made for my nephews. I may be able to buy all the applique designs I want by having a little side business!

How exciting!!!!! What a fun trip that will be!!!!!!

I know this time of year is crazy, but I'm off until Jan 5th, and I've got the time to do something now. The last time I didn't sign up becase my machine was sick. Now that everything is in working order, I'm ready to go! Does anyone know when the next one is?

There isn't one planned in January as of now. We will be doing one for BillWendy's Daniel (if his family wants us to), but I'm not sure they have dates yet. I'll go check the board and let you know if I've missed one.

ETA: I just checked, and the next one we are doing for sure is in April. That of course, could change, just keep checking and we will post here and on the Big Give board when we have the next family ready to go.

I think it looks great! But I like the crazy look of a well embellished twirl skirt. The ultimate test is does your princess approve, and if the answer is yes, then it's not too much!

Thanks for looking...I did go to the Big Give site, but didn't really know where to look fo something new. I'm in the habit of reading here every day now, so I will definately be on the lookout for the next one.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that I didn't think you'd looked. I'm an administrator there, so I checked the administration board where we post which Gives we are working on.

Andrea...I thought I grabbed your quote as well but I am lovin all of the outfits and fun from your trip!!! Your DD is adorable as well!!!

 

[lovesdumbo]

Taz did not make it. He went out looking for him last night after I went to bed. He was in his home under the porch. Now to tell the kiddies...

I am so sorry for your family's loss.

 

[syncsk8mom]

Help!!! I need some advise....my hubbie bought me the Singer Futura CE-250 for Christmas and I am not sure that I can do or buy any Disney design on this machine...does anyone know?? also, I have seen some lovely designs by other designers....can I buy those and use them on this machine?? I don't know anything about this machine and it wasn't the one I really wanted, but I don't want to hurt hubbies feelings if I can make this work for my needs.

Thanks!!

I am trying to get to birthday pictures so I figured I would start with a few Christmas. Here is Dallas Christmas Eve right before bed with his lego village under the tree. You can't see much since the train is in the way. I also didn't fix the tree lot properly this year. I was just plain lazy when it came to decorating.

And a picture with his new penguin! I figured I must post a penguin picture.

I now regret not buying the matching sweater, hat and gloves for him!

And I think he was most excited over this recorder for $2.50. It got the most reaction when unwrapping!

I am working on getting the others in photobucket. It is so slow with my new camera!

 

[billwendy]

Megan - I LOVE your fishy outfit!!!

Dallas - that recorder looks so cool!! Make sure you practice loud and clear every day for your parents!!!

Yes - Daniel is going on a MAW trip - I just got info from his parents and am filling out the form! Looks like the trip is being planned for the beginning of March after his LAST CHEMO TREATMENT!!!!

Love the trip customs!! I think I love the blue Mickey/Minnie the most too!!! Beautiful!!!

Thanks for the comments on the girls dresses that green material in the top was a BEAR to work with!!!

I like his penguin pajamas and his penguin! I hope he's having fun with the recorder! Arminda knows two songs on hers. It gets a bit monotonous!

[busy mommy]

Your outfits are great. And your kids are so cute. Did you have as much fun as we did?

I love it! She did such a great job. I have to find time to teach Abbie how to sew.

This is such a precious picture.

What a cutie! Happy Birthday!

Megan wanted to show off the fish buttons she picked out:

I think the skirt is perfect. Maddie loves the fish buttons.

I lost some quotes somewhere.
Wendy, your dresses are great.
Nini, I am so sorry for your loss. We lost a furry friend last year right before Christmas. I will pray for your family.

I love it and don't think it's too much at all. I love the colors in the skirt as well.

Andrea...I thought I grabbed your quote as well but I am lovin all of the outfits and fun from your trip!!! Your DD is adorable as well!!! [/SIZE][/COLOR]

Thanks so much. I will try to get another day or two posted today.

Your outfits are great. And your kids are so cute. Did you have as much fun as we did?

Thanks! My dd and I had a blast overall, ds was iffy on some things and dh was the worst. He's a Disney hater to begin with and couple that with social anxiety disorder and it made for some difficult times. I'd love to go back some time with each of the kids individually. DD loves characters and ds can't stand them. I'm still really happy we went on the trip and I'm the type of person that can get over the negative aspects and focus on the positive.

Love the trip customs!! I think I love the blue Mickey/Minnie the most too!!! Beautiful!!!

Thanks. It's so funny how different people like different outfits. I'll try to post more today.

BTW, I loved the Christmas dresses you made and yay on the MAW trip!

My Wonderful DH suprised me with an embroidery machine for christmas. We couldn't afford one of the more expensive ones so I wasn't expecting one for awhile but he suprised me with one anyway. He got me a low end one - the Singer Futura CE-150. Is this worth keeping? It seems like I have heard some bad things about that machine on here. Can you guys give me some advice and tell me about it before I open the box? I have had some many Christmas' to go to the the last few days that I haven't had time to open the box or check into it. Thanks for any help that you can give!

OK... can't rant in public...I try really, really hard not to be one of 'those' mother in law types...KWIM?

Found out last night that DSIL has put in an application for a new job...out of state! His claims that it is away from all family members fall on deaf ears here...it is only 30 minutes from his family, and 4 hours away from me! Hubby said it is a back lash from my trying to not be involved in a day to day way with the grown and married kids. I see them almost as much as his side!
We haven't had them for Thanksgiving or Christmas since they have been dating...now that they are starting to think about having kids, they are moving closer to "THEM".

I pretty much did not respond as they thought I would. I was a bit selfish and made some un-nice comments. I said I expect to have them for Christmas from now on...only to be told if I wanted to see them for Christmas I would have to visit THEM...since once they have kids they will spend all Christmases at HOME!

Their bright idea was for me to move to their new state! Of course they promised to provide me with a grand child to replace (?) the one I wouldn't get to see any more!

OK...rant over! I promise to go back to being the understanding, supportive MIL that I have always been before, after all, there is a chance he might NOT get the job....after all, he is over qualified for it. Is it wrong to pray for something ...bad?

Hi everyone:
I'm so impressed by all your outfits. I'm hoping someone will share a picture or give me an idea for Animal Kingdom for boys. The last time we went I embroidered applique Mickey ears with safari material. Any other ideas for boys (older) 8 and 12? My hoop is limited to a 5x7 size.

Thanks for any ideas.

 

[MinnieForMe]

I've had the Singer Futura for two years and have never had a problem with it. Read the manual twice, go onto the Singer boards and read. I think many problems are user related. It likes procedures to be followed or it won't work right! LOL! It's a very fussy baby! I'm saving for a janome but until that time it gets me through!
