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

[PrincessMickey]

Congrats! What is your pin for...what kind of discount?

The pin is for 30% off value, 35% off moderate, or 40% off deluxe. It's good for the whole year except holiday weekends.

I was really hoping for a 2 hour delay today. I worked all night while it snowed, when I came home it had just stopped and was -2. I really wanted to sleep in today and not have to go out in the cold. But no such luck so I was out there getting the kids to school then shoveling when I got home. It was a whopping 2 degrees out. Now I'm curled up in bed under the coversthinking about taking a short nap.

I am going to Hawaii next week (please don't hate me! I can't wait to see some sunshine!) and I would love to check out any local fabric stores on Oahu. Does anyone on these boards live there? We'll be in Honolulu, but have a car and will spend one day driving the perimiter of the island--I'm sure hubby won't mind a stop or two to look at fabric

Let the trouble begin...

SOOOOO, while I was waiting for my work computer, I was searching the disney store. I couldn't figure out how to post a picture, but here is the link...

that fabric is AWESOME. I am thinking of buying the sheet set and cutting it up for clothes..

okay, back to work

Very CUTE!! Thanks for posting this - since it is flannel I bought the Mickey set and the Tink set for PJ's next year! Can't wait!

 

[AlternateEgo]

I'm so very blah... Just officially got the word I will be going down to Part time starting tomorrow.

I currently am Salary position, sick days, Holidays, personal days... and vacation.

Now I'm going to be hourly... without insurance

Wow, thanks Carrie! After looking at the link (and deciding to order some to use for jammies for our December trip to the World!) I ended up browsing the site and spending $100 on clothes for our upcoming trips! At least they were all sale items

I meant to quote the red ruffle dress. It's SO pretty!

What beautiful pictures! I'm thinking you guys are convincing me that I NEED this camera! Now, I need to decide between the XS and the XSi. I just don't know the difference.

Here are som pics with my XSi, (in aotoshoot mode) most are on another computer so I had to grab these off facebook.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!! I have tried to hard to keep up with the thread but I just end up lurking. I can read the thread one handed while nursing but I have not mastered typing one handed yet.

I haven't sewn anything in over 2 months - it is driving me crazy. Megan is keeping me on my toes and away from the sewing machine for now.
Here is a new pic of the girls from Christmas.

We decided to cloth diaper Megan and are using pocket diapers. http://www.cottonbabies.com/product_info.php?cPath=98&products_id=1279 I really don't like the inserts that come with the diapers so I am currently waiting for some hemp fabric to arrive to make my own. It isn't much but at least I will be sewing something.
And just because this is my favorite diaper in our current stash:

your girls are so gorgeous!!! Love the diap!

woo hoo.... Finally got 2 designs done and modeled today...

Lori

Cute! Love the Barbie applique!

Such cute outfits posted ! and what adorable Babies .
Let's see if i can stay caught up with ya all,I am not gonna guarantee anything I am swamped at school which is at Night. (My dis Time) I should be doing Homework right now
I have not sewed anything for a bit But i yearn too so so bad ... Maybe after i graduate in July i will take a month just for myself and sew away until my hands hurt
well i just wanted to stop by and say Hello I see alot of new Peeps on here SO Hello

Get back to your homework young lady! I didn't realize you graduate in July! Cool!

We are having our own crisis with vacation today. I am none too happy about it and DH has heard it for the past 7 or so hours since he told me. I am beyond annoyed and frustrated and sick over it (along with being sick) so I am not a good person to be in the same house with right now.

Hope it all works out for you! I can see why you wouldn't plan vacation further out, I mean, who would really think you would have that many snow days! We are yet to get one and not feeling it coming tomorrow! I just want enough snow to go sledding down the backyard once this year! Although tomorrow I wouldn't feel like it.

Do you need to ditch Lin and take me and Luke instead! Because I'll do that for you!

I LOVE the ruffle on these sleeves!! How did you do that? Is it just a Euro or something different?

You just take a fabric strip and roll both edges, and then ruffle the center and attach

Yuck! That really stinks. I suppose the bright side is that you still have a job.

What about your DH's company? Can you switch over to be on his policy?

I had to work hourly without insurance after Katrina. I was able to get my own personal policy at a reasonable price...I think I used Humana. Can you look for another job with better benefits?

I would be so disappointed also. That's a big blow.

So I bought fabric and matching bows last year and finally got around to making Lily's S'mores Vida. She wore it to school yesterday and it turns out their theme this week is snowmen!

It has a lot of butt buttons (you know, like butt ruffles?) but she insists they don't annoy her when she sits on them.

Thanks! It was out a year ago, I probably got it from several places. It is Moda's Smores.

He works overnights on the road, so as soon as he wakes up I am going to have him call his office to see if we can switch... hopefully seemlessly.

I do plan to softly look for another job, but I love my job and can't imagine finding something different. I draw houseplans and have been here for 3 1/2 years, so I am scared to find something that will require newer schooling.

Fortunately I should be able to draw unemployment to make up for my missing income. I am pretty scared of losing our Disney vacation though.

That came out great & Lily looks adorable. I was laughing at your story behind it because I bought 2 smores charm packs last year to make a twirl skirt & just pulled them out last night....it must be something in the fabric

Love it Jeanne!!!

Lily is looking awfully grown up these days! I LOVE the s'mores vida and the matching bows and the butt buttons! (Plus, butt buttons is just fun to say.)

Seeing that s'mores fabric reminds me of my most favoritest dessert recipe ever!

Indoor S'mores
12 graham crackers
1 bag MILK chocolate chips
about 1/2 bag mini marshmallows

3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup REAL butter (do not use margarine - it just doesn't turn out well)
1 teaspoon vanilla

1) Preheat oven to 350
2) Arrange crackers on a well-greased cookie sheet (if you have extra space on your cookie sheet, you can fold up some foil around the edges to make a "lip" right next to the crackers so the sauce will stay on your crackers and not run all over the place.)
3) Spread chocolate chips over the crackers, then marshmallows.

4) For sauce, combine brown sugar, butter and vanilla in a sauce pan over medium heat, stirring frequently until mixture thickens and bubbles at edges. Pour over crackers.
5) Bake about 10 minutes until marshmallows are just slightly browned.

Be forewarned: these are extremely dangerous! Also, don't make these and take them to a family or work function unless you want to make them for every function from here on out - I learned that the hard way! If I ever bring something different, I get in trouble!

That is adorable.

The Butt Buttons are cute, and I can see how they would not be a pain, there is a big circle in the middle where a bum can fit comfortably.

How adorable! O love the colors and the matching bows are so cute!! My first vida is still laying on the sewing machine - cut out and ready to sew - in Halloween fabric! Oh well, it can be a tunic for next year!!

No need to ditch him when he can't go! I just don't get him and his bosses! I even let them pick the week! we"ll see what comes of it! You might need to be ditching your hubby and 3 kids and hopping on a plane!

I found a picture on the disboutique photobucket page of a panel skirt with simba, flounder, and stitch embroidered on the panels. I believe it was posted by Toadstool.

Could you please tell me what pattern you used? I looked on YCMT and could only find a strip skirt patten and I did not think the panels would be wide enough for a 5X7 design.

Thanks in advance.

Karen

I'm not sure exactly which outfit you are talking about, but I made one like this:

I make the panels in a trapezoid shape. For this dress the 4 white panels were I think 6" on top and 12" on the bottom, the 4 black were smaller, with the bottom 6" I think. I do it this way so that my ruffle factor for the top isn't crazy, but the dress is still full. It's made a lot like a strip work skirt, you just have to make the panels big enough to fit your design.

LOVE this - especially the butt buttons!!!
