Disboutiquers Part 19 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

I wanted to share Olivia in her 100 days of school dress.

Olivia wears a uniform at school but they get free dress coupons for good behavior or meeting goals. On Friday Olivia tells me that she has been saving her free dress coupon for the 100th day because she was going to wear a special dress.

When I asked what special dress she replied "a pretty special school dress." Luckily Auntie Darla brought over this extra special school dress on Sunday.

SO cute! I had to wear school uniforms growing up too & hated it. glad she got to wear this cute dress to school & thanks for sharing it with us

I need to find some colored rick rack. Walmart used to sell bags of "leftover" pieces. But since the one near me stopped selling fabric, they stopped selling rick rack too. I need different colored pieces about 18 inches and up. Any suggestions?

 

[Granna4679]

I hope you get it worked out and a quick response. I can only say that the one time I had an issue they never responded to emails or phone calls.

Yay! They fixed the problem and sent them to me....

To those of you who have already sent my Dad a card or picture, thank you. I left my list at home this morning so I can't say who all it was. My dad absolutely loved the Goofy picture holder, the sweet picture that a child drew for him, all the cards, and the information about New Jersey. Thanks so much!

Mine will probably be there at the end of the week. I've heard the mail takes a while from up here. I sent a postcard of Harrison Hot Springs which is about an hour away from Chilliwack.

How many fat quarters do you usually need to buy to make a patchwork twirl skirt (I have a dd size 3 and a dd size 5)?

My GD2 just saw all the fabric I had bought for my two big give dresses. She picked out her favorite and asked me when I was cutting her dress out!

Good thing I'm heading back to Joann's after therapy today! (I mean its not like I never make her anything. We have 16 dresses for Disney comming up and an Easter dress, a Valentine's dress, a birthday dress....what more does swhe want!!!???!!!)

She is so cute though, at church yesterday someone commented on her pretty dress. Her comment? "It's not a pretty dress Mama only bought it!"...evidently, only Grandma can make pretty dresses!Nini

I can't think of a better compliment!

Hi everyone! It's your long lost friend here!
Anyway, DS wants to do his room in EPCOT theme and wondered if anyone had any fabric ideas. I know you all are up to date with what is out there right now. I did see this Alexander Henry stuff that is pretty cute. My DS is 4.5yo now so, I don't want to be too cutesy.

I've wanted a train from the ceiling for YEARS!! Do you think you could come to my house and help me with it? I've no clue where to begin, which is why it's never been done. I'd seen it in some McD's and train stores.

Room is looking great!!

 

[PiperPizzaz]

That is an amazing room!!!

Thanks! That is the bonus room upstairs in our house. DS's room has the splash mtn picture on it and he was very adamant if we redo his room that we wouldn't change the outside of the door.

The train was actually pretty easy. We used strips of some material like foam core board. You can get something like it at michaels. We almost used wall molding turned on its side. We mounted it with L brackets. The corners were pretty tricky, I had to draw them and cut them freehand.

Anita- LOVE those outifts! DD3 loves the twirly skirt and I love the precious dress on the little one!

Nicole- I am praying for you, your family and your Dad. What's up with us Nicole's and our Dads?




Prayers please...My Dad is having a really rough time. His cancer is progressing much faster than the Drs anticipated. It has cause more bone deterioration and his pain was paralyzing earlier last week, he thought he had finished his chemo for now and could have a break, he had an unplanned blood transfusion due to severe enemia, another dose of chemo, and a zometa treatment. Only to get a call that he went to the ER Saturday night and was kept overnight. They wanted to keep him thru to today, but he preferred to go home and take the drug orally (versus intravenus).
They have plans to leave for Florida (he is always cold and the milder temps will help) For 2 months!! he had planned to leave Thursday, but may be bumped to Friday or Saturday.

I'm so sad they are leaving for 2 months. I live an hour and 45 min from them, but I try to see them when I can.
I worry how he will manage- he is insisting on driving there and back.
I know I will find peace by trusting God. But it's hard. Mom says, the Doctors say maybe 6 months....
She is such a mess, there is all this other stuff going on between the 2 of them to complicate things even more. Talking to her is sometimes worse for me because she tends to talk and talk and dump all this emotional stuff on me.

Sorry for this long email. Help me to find comfort and strength in the Lord.

Thanks all

edited to add...TeresaJoy- you can do a search on the bugfabric.com website for kids around the world or Timeless Treasures KIDZ

I have a question for anyone.....

I have an emergency order for 20 ponchos for thursday. It has been years since I have made no sew ponchos but what are the size directions.

If I remember right- the neck is 6 inches and the whole poncho is a nice even square or am I wrong.

Thanks

Ahhh...I am so sorry about your dad. I hope the warmer weather brings him strength to get through this. Sometimes, trusting in God is the only thing (and seriously it is the BEST thing) we can do. He gives us strength and the peace we need to get through things. I will be praying for him!

Hi Nicole; I'm praying for your family.

Prayers for everyone who needs them.

Did anyone watch Cake Boss tonight. He was at Disney World with his family. It was so irritating because everytime he said Disney it sounded like he was putting an e in the middle, Diseney. Then he made a cake of the castle and princesses for his daughter and he kept saying he made all the princesses but he only made Ariel, Mulan, Jasmine, and Belle. What about Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Cinderella it's her castle after all and you couldn't make them. I guess I'm just too into Disney and notice the details.

I noticed it too. How could he make the castle and not include CInderella? Maybe the others are his daughter's favorites or could it do with a copyright?

His voice gets me no matter what he's saying. It's loud and whiney.

In a couple of weeks, my GD2 will be having her surgery. Afterwards, she will have a cast on her left foot from her toes to her butt cheeks. It is still a little chilly here, and she will need some sort of pants to wear. If I make her some easy fits with a really large leg (to go over the cast) and one regular leg...do you think that would work? The doctor suggested we split the leg of a pair of pants and add velcro to the seam to fit around her leg.

Either way, the pants won't be able to be worn afterwards, so I'm thinking just make her some easy fits...

Opinions or thoughts?

I think if you did the easy fits with enlarged legs, added a casing as a hem, then after the cast is off you could add some elastic in the casing then the pants could still be worn.

Prayers for a quick recovery.

Thank you for all the prayers!

I watched it too! I noticed that too- I also noticed what a bad rendition of Belle he did. Did you notice that the french Disney chef seemed have a disdain for him? It was really funny- but I think the fondant locked up was a set up.
His voice didn't bother me at all, but that's probably because I live in an area where that accent is very common (Im about an hour from NYC)
I turned it off to watch another show at the point where he was waiting for the cannolli shells. I thought the castle looked bad, why didn't he LET the Disney chefs do the cake!?

Nicole..prayers for your dad and your whole family.

Looking for those who live in Oregon. It looks like we are moving! to Bend, Oregon! About 3000 miles away from home and family! We are excited but scared. Dh has to be there in 3 weeks! AHHH!! We need to find a rental until we sell our house. Any suggestions on the best way to move? I was just thinking of renting a uhaul and taking a week to drive, but I am a little scared of driving over mountains with a truck and a car trailing behind!

Yikes, that is a big move. You might look into getting one of those PODS. Other companies have them too but can't think of their names. Basically it is movable storage unit. It looks like a trailer that would get pulled behind a truck. You can fill it yourselves and have it delivered where you want, when you want. They will store it for you and I think you can also arrange for them to pack it and unpack it for you (for an additional cost).

Good luck with the move.
