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

[EnchantedPrincess]

I embroidered Tessa a shirt for Valentine's day a few weeks ago and had always planned on making a skirt to go with it. But, I never really got around to doing it. Then, this morning I was getting her clothes around for her and realized she had nothing to wear with her Valentine's shirt. So, with 25 minutes before the bus would come, I made her a skirt!!! We even had 5 minutes to spare! I'm so darn proud of myself! I even machine embroidered a little heart onto it! Here is the finished product!

Heather..I commented on facebook but will say again that I love the Valentine's Day outfit!! The camera bag looks great..and glad that your mom love it! I don't have that pattern yet, but it is on my wish list!!!

I finally got all the dolls that were started finished. I have several more that I want to make so maybe I'll get to them soon.

The dolls are too cute!

LOVE all the new stuff!!!!! You guys never stop amazing me with all your talent!

I know a lot of you use the Scientific Seamstress patterns(CarlaC). She has a fan page for those of you on Facebook.

There is a discussion board and some amazing fan photos!

I am already a fan!

HeatherSue- Love the "whipped up" outfit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I am just jumping in here real quick! (My parents are stopping here tonight on their way to florida and I need to CLEAN everything before they get here!!!!)

Hannah had her 2 eye appointments this week.
(refresher- she had appt with first Dr (not surgeon) who said she felt she has Esotropia and required surgery)
Appt #2- met with surgeon (local) and he said nope, she has Duane's syndrome, a congenital birth defect, can not be fixed with surgery, her head will tilt some, have poor depth perception on left side, and favor right side, approach her from right, maybe glasses with prism when she is older- nothing else they can do)
Appt #3- With Surgeon at different practice- over hour from my house, he is with the Children's Medical Center, and the office is geared specifically towards children- I like that. Turns out he has written papers, medical journals, etc on both subjects.
She doesn NOT have duane's syndrome (and he proved it to me by showing her eye is capable of going past the midway point) she DOES have esotropia and she will need surgery in about 2 months.

So its been a roller coaster the last 3 weeks- first I hated the idea of surgery, but then I hated the idea of a child with a permenant birth defect that would make it difficult for her to drive, function on her left, etc. So, now, while surgery is always scary, I am hopeful that we can assist her eyes so that this will not be lasting.

I would have LOVED to finish a patricia tunic for my Mom in time for Valentine's Day- but I haven't cut the fabric- almost done taping pattern. It needed to be done today. Hannah has been cranky with all the eye drops, so it's been impossible.

Her valentine's dress I'm told was a hit (I missed it because Dad had to take her to Pre-K) Imagine a Father in the parking lot at school, making sure her dress and petti are all perfect before going in to school- YUP- he took on that role without a single complaint! God Bless him.

Sorry that you have to go through that with Hannah. It is always scary when surgery is involved..

Me too, now that I quilt I think it would be easier but at $100, it best be wonderful!

My Joann's has it for 39 and it was 10 dollars off.

Those are sooo cute! My dd has been begging to start sewing so I am thinking it would be a fun project to make some dolls. Did you use a specific pattern for those?

Dolls are fun, but the best thing to start out with is pillowcases - straight lines are your daughter's best friend! We started with those, then moved on to AG pillows and quilts (more straight lines, edgestitching, and since we made the pillows we stuffed and closed as well). Now we're moving on to a stuffed horse, and the curved lines are really frusterating her, and that's with my high-end Pfaff. DD's 7 1/2, and has been 'helping' me sew since she was 2, and really sewing for about 18 months.

So, how old is your daughter? My youngest was 7 when she decided to make her niece a quilt. Just straight lines, and it turned out perfect. This past year she made an A line for niece's birthday. It turned out really cute.

I haven't bothered to tell her it is supposed to be hard....she is helping me with a Vida for the big give now. She likes the lines of this dress. She enjoyed making the patchwork twirl, but said it was too easy....go figure!

I love you too! And, I'm missing you!
See, everyone loves you! You are just cool like that.

Oh yeah, that's me, pure genius!
I love those Cinderella dresses! Thanks for posting them again. It reminds me of a wonderful trip I took with my entire family.

First of all,
Second, you ARE a computer genius! Just because your son is even more of a genius than you, doesn't make you any less of a genius.
That was such a wonderful trip!! I want to do it again!!!!

Heather's designs are awesome. We LOVE her!

You're pretty awesome yourself! I'm feeling the love on here today!! Thank you so much!

I am pretty pleased with myself that I can usually figure out what the heck Corey is talking about! And, every once in awhile, I will be right about something.
Yes, we need to do it again!
Do you have any pictures to share with us Heather?

 

[teresajoy]

I don't think I posted Lydia's new dress here. If I did, well, I'm going to do it again!

I made this with CarlaC's (for Sis Boom) new Cathy pattern (named after our very own twob4him !!)

She insisted on wearing it to the meeting last night, with a sweater of course!

Corey told me that next time I make it, I need to make sure the designs on my fabric are more centered. Little know it all.
I told him I had to use some creative cutting techniques and a very well hidden extra patch of material sewn into the side to make it work at all! There was no centering of design that I could do!

Would someone who is going to WDW in the next month or so do me a favor? My neice is going to WDW in Dec. for the first time and is as excited as if she were a child! (She's in her early 20's) She has watched the video of the hotel over and over--wants to eat in the castle, is getting tons of scrapbooking stuff, etc.I can't imagine how excited she is going to be when the planning video we ordered for her arrives.

I'd love for "Mickey" to send her a postcard telling her he is looking forward to meeting her. If someone can do that, would you please PM me. Of course, I am more than happy to return the favor ( or do this for anyone) when we go early Dec.

Somehow I lost my quote---
LOVE Tessa's new Sis Boom dress!!!!
Megan would love that for summertime!!

I'm in a bit of shock....
Mom and Dad left at 5am this morning.

Long story short, Mom left her email open and I just read her email to my Aunt. Doctors didn't say my Dad has 6 months, they said he has 1-2 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF they could find a way to slow the cancer down (which they can't right now) He has 5-6 months.

Girls- he's just left my house for a trip to Florida for....2 months.

I want to just sob, but I always seem to have a baby and 3 yr old with me and I dont want to upset them.

I need to go sew!

Wow so sorry. I'll pray for you. I know that it's hard right now. Find a place that you cry. It does help. Sending a big hug to ya too.

I know surgery is scary. Try to remember that it is to help. I will be praying for your little one and you. Your plate is a little full right now. Remember that God never will give you more than you can handle. I know I wish some days that He did not have such a high opion of me. more hugs sent your way

Oh Nicole, honey, I'm so sorry. I am literally sitting here sobbing for you. I wish I were closer to you, because I would love to drive over to your house and give you a real hug. You and your family continue to be in my prayers sweetheart. I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through.

Oh, Nicole! I'm so sorry! I wish that there were words to impart peace to you right now.

Dear Lord - when we have no words - just tears, your Word promises that the Spirit intercedes for us. So, right now, we cry out to you on behalf of Nicole. We pray that your presence will surround her and in a very real way, give her comfort and peace. There are a lot of questions... questions that, if answered, wouldn't give comfort or peace, simply knowledge. So, I pray that your peace will be ovewhelming to Nicole and that you will be all that she needs right now! Amen.

Oh Nicole, I'll be praying for you and your family all day - whew, that is tough to swallow. Its never easy to lose a parent - I lost my Dad very suddenly - its hard. If there is any thing we can do, just ask!!!

Nicole, like Wendy said, please let us know if there is anything at all we can do for you.

Thanks, it is such a gorgeous fabric, isn't it! It's the Casey Scroll from Sis Boom fabrics.

Would someone who is going to WDW in the next month or so do me a favor? My neice is going to WDW in Dec. for the first time and is as excited as if she were a child! (She's in her early 20's) She has watched the video of the hotel over and over--wants to eat in the castle, is getting tons of scrapbooking stuff, etc.I can't imagine how excited she is going to be when the planning video we ordered for her arrives.

How sweet! I'm sure someone will send her a postcard. (We go in May, if you don't get a response, PM me.)

Is there a picture of Tessa in her daddy daughter dance dress that Teresa made?!?! I can't wait to see how it turned out!

I'm waiting for one myself! I have pictures of just the dress, but I think it will look better with Tessa in it! I had to change my plan for the dress, but I think it turned out pretty anyway. Tessa picked out gorgeous fabric!

Oh, no...I'm so sorry you're going through so much. All I can say is that I know God holds you all in the palm of His hand, and we're praying for you.
