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

[Granna4679]

Got to go play with my new baby but I thought I would tell you all first....I am so excited. I just took my 10 yr old Singer to the sewing center in our area to see what was wrong with it and they told me the whole needle/presser foot mechanism stem thingy (great technical term for it) is broken completely. So to fix it would be more than the machine is worth. God knew I wanted a new machine. I walked out an hour or so later with a brand new Janome 2010. And on top of that they gave me a good trade in value considering it is 10 yrs old (and they said they would bury it for me...no charge for that..hahah)....I am so excited. Gotta go play now. I will tell you how much I love it later.

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.

OMG, that is just the absolute cutest dress ever!!

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.

Life change, like losing your insurance with your employer, is considered a reason to make a change to your DH's insurance, so that, at least, shouldn't be a problem. I'm so sorry about the reduction, though. I know it must be difficult and frightening.

I am finally getting around to posting our trip report from our October trip. Darla made to many cute things to not post a report. Anyway I want to give credit where credit is due. Soooooooooo are you ready for another exciting game of "Name that Case."

Who was Case'd.....

love these!
I was thinking Teresa for the Jasmine; I know livindisney did one of the Mulans, but Marah made one for her eldest DD too.

We are taking grandaughter in march to dw to celebrate her b-day, she saw the dress and wants one would you mind if i case it we will be using different favri she has already picked but she came back today and had to show the dress to her pawpaw so i hope you dont mind.

I am thrilled that you like it enough to CASE it!

She is so cute and so is the dress, I just love the colors in it, well done

I have a Big Give question. To give some background I have startd a Small Give here in BC Canada. I run a family daycare and one of the parents works for MAW BC Yukon and she heard about the Big Gives from this board. She knew I was on these boards too and also that I am part of a Quilting/craft group so she asked if I might like to do something similar to the Big Gives. Of course I said yes, but because we do not have many ladies who sew outfits we are doing more autograph books, eye spy bags, journals, crayon roll-ups, etc. I want to start doing MAW matchin t-shirts for the whole family going on the trip but the mom who works for MAW is worried about using the Mickey hat stick people and the WDW logo on the shirt because of copyright laws. Has anyone had this worry, is there any experience with this being a problem? Thank you for reading this, it wasn't meant to be so long.

Fabric mart is pretty much on all the islands and have the best selection and prices! Walmart too. If you'll be on Oahu, fabric is also sold at a couple of booths at the aloha stadium flea market on Wednesdays and Sundays!

My son was just saying how he wants to go to Hawaii; both sets of grandparents are there.

Have fun!

One week from today we will be settling in our room at Port Orleans for bed time!

But I have not finished one outfit I give up tonight because my embroidery machine is being difficult. Thank goodness I only have three outfits to do. I have started and have some random pieces completed but not anything completely done yet. Hopefully it will come together easily. We usually leave on a Saturday not a Thursday so I keep feeling like I have lots more time than I really do. Now if it would just warm up a bit we would be all set.

Now if you guys would just refrain from posting all this cute stuff I wouldn't be so distracted

After almost 90 minutes of ironing, I need a break. I am making a pettiskirt for my oldest out of nylon chiffon. So far, working with the fabric hasn't been too bad. Just the ironing...

Okay, back at it.

Posting Again looking for some help...

A few months back I stumbled onto this thread and saw a pair of overalls that had been altered with Minnie appliqué and red with white polka dot fabric. They also had a name across the back I believe. They were adorable and would love a picture and or tips and tricks for recreating them with a Wizard of Oz theme. I have used the search feature but am not having too much luck.

Thanks a million!

Here's an ebook that has instructions on how to customize overalls - it may be helpful.

I think this was my worst move yet - I didn't make it over unitl page 24

Life's been a little busy lately, but hopefully I'll be able to keep up!

Hi Y'all; I am wanting to make a patchwork twirl with as many different disney fabrics as I can get my hands on; probably 6x6 squares. I have probably 15 fabrics, but if anyone happens to have any scraps that size they could send me, I'd really appreciate it. I want to do an outfit similar to the one Miranda did for Taylor last year w/ the applique of the partner statue on the top and a montage of prints representing the movies, etc. for the skirt. I know I'm asking a lot, but I really can't afford to buy a yard of all the materials I can find, so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. I'd be happy to send a postcard from Mickey, or a fave character if you would like.
TIA
Nicole

Is there a way you can tell us what you already have so we don't duplicate anything?

Just curious...what are you ironing?? Iam making a petti right now too out of nylon chiffon. I have never ironed mine(it wasn't increidble wrinkeled, but I find after ruffling the heck out of it you don't see any wrinkles. Maybe this can save you some ironing!!!

I made a skirt like that, so I have a number of different fabrics laying around. In this pic you can see some of what I used, although I do have others...

I'm sure I can spare at least a 6x6 of what you need! Let us know what you are looking for.

I have been setting it up and learning the ropes tonight. I will try to take a picture tomorrow and post it. So far, I love it.

I didn't do the minnie mouse ones but I have done lots of overalls. I did these Tink overalls for my DGD a couple months ago. Maybe it will help give you an idea, anyway.

I will try to help you out....I have quite a few scraps. After I see your post of what you already have, I will see if I have anything different. Your idea sounds so cute.

 

[ireland_nicole]

ok, here's the fabrics I have:

Ideally, I'd really love to use each fabric only one or twice; so it really looks like a mosaic type effect. I really appreciate anyone even considering.

I am finally posting a few photos from Christmas.

Here are my boys with Santa at their preschool on pajama day in the pajamas I made for them. Santa happens to be their daddy too.

Here is a picture of all of us together at preschool. We take the kids' pictures every year, and the school prints out their photos for every parent.

Here is my oldest son, Samuel, making sugar cookies with me. We do them the old fashioned way. He loves it.

Last but not least is my first attempt at a pillowcase dress. It is for a friend's little girl for her birthday this Saturday.

I think I have a few that you don't have here. PM me your address and I will try to get them to you in a few days.

MAN! You've got quite a nice stash! I'll check it against my stash in the morning and let you know if I have any that you don't already have.

I've found these 6 scraps so far.
