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

[MinnieForMe]

I cheated. Here's the dress I bought for Corinne for Animal Kingdom. Now, I need to make matching tshirts for the boys (dh, grandpa and our two boys) and my mother and myself.

I'm thinking black for the boys with Heather's swirl Mickey in the logo area of a shirt. I've done Safari Mickey twice in the past. Pink for my mother and myself with the same swirl Mickey. Now, here's my question. What three colors should I make the swirl Mickey? Should they match Corinne's dress or be the traditional Mickey colors? Should I add 2010 below it?

I'm willing to listen to any ideas! Thanks.

My sister's MIL lost a child and she won't let her other two children celebrate Mother's Day. She won't come to a baby shower we have planned for my sister as it's a month before the baby is due. She told my sister she will only attend a shower after the baby is due. She hasn't bought anything for her grandchild (only one) and won't until it is born.

I don't have any children, so I haven't lost any-But it seems like she should have had some grief counciling years ago.

My sister has had a few miscarages. This pregnancy was suppose to be twins, but she lost one. She was so happy when she found out she was still pregnant, as she didn't know she was pregnant with twins.

I can't believe her MIL.

Hi everyone,
just a quick note, the seller on etsy who I got my long sought after fabric from (the black one which looked like magic kingdom) has found some more and relisted. I know some of you wanted some, so here's the link

It's funny you mention that, I was searching etsy yesterday for some. I think I may be too late once again....Thanks for the info though!

Oh my gosh - LOVE your Brother's shirt!! And your little darling is so cute too!!!!!!

[MinnieForMe]

The Vida looks great. So sorry for all the loss in your life this week.



Cute, my DSIL loves Winnie, and would die to have that room as a nursery. (IF she EVER has a child, I so want them to get preggers so I can sew for them)



That is really cute. I love the Precious Dress.



Cute daughter, and good looking customs too.

These are adorable. Where was the dog from UP?

Love the dress; I'd either go with the colors in the dress or zebra stripe.

 

[Granna4679]

trying this yet again....

hahahaha it worked!!!!

OK.. that's my brother and my little one Ella she's 3!

and my brother said I should only use a computer labeled Fisher Price!!

Cute little one and I love the Princess and the frog outfit!! I haven't tried the bowling shirt yet but this is a cute fabric combination...very girly!

That is really cute. I love the Precious Dress.

Thanks...that was my first time to make it, but I think I will be making a lot more of them for my DGDs.

Which variety did you get?

It is black with the State of Louisiana shape on it and it says "Saints" all over it.

We've had some terrible losses this week. My brother's wife lost her baby this week. She was around 16 weeks. There is also a wonderful nurse at work, who also lost her baby. She was 16 weeks also. So terrible. I can't imagine.
I did manage to get my Epcot Vida done, and now I'm searching for ideas for my next outfit.

I like how it came out, but I'm still not sold on the fabric for the bodice. I do like the buttons across the bottom.

It come out great! I'm so sorry your losses.

I got to play with my sewing machine today!!!!!

I made an arm cover for DD's mobile:

It matches the curtains my mom made for her room. That's Kaitlyn in the crib:

Very cute! I had a Pooh nursery too.

One of our friends has a little girl with Spina Bifida. She will turn 2 this week. I made this for her birthday. I saw this fabric just as they were putting it out the other day and knew right off this was what I would use.
I love this pattern...it was so easy and I think it turned out so cute.

I love it! That fabric is just adorable. It's probably a good thing there isn't a Hobby Lobby closer than 1/2 hour away.

Now I'm all teary. Thank you, Teresa. Tessa was just talking about him at the dinner table the other night. She said "I should have a big brother and he would have been Hayden."

That is the sweetest thing.

Hi Everyone...I just purchased the raglan tee pattern & the Olivia so now I am on the hunt for the perfect fabric. If anyone has a great online supplier of knits please let me know. We only have a Joann here with a very limited knits section. I am really looking for prints, but any suppliers you are willing to share would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!

LisaZoe has a good source. I think it is thefabricfairy.com

Looked like $6.98 was a good price, and then I found a 10% off coupon code as well. I'm thinking with judicious pattern choice and fabric usage I might be able to get two seasons' worth of outfits from it--with even extra wearability possibly if dresses could become tops.

I didn't even try to use my cell last night. One of my friends commented that two things can disrupt cell coverage in LA...Hurricane Katrina and the Saints going to the Super Bowl. LOL

If you are looking for Saints fabric I know where to get some... .. just saying.

Very pretty! That is alot of embroidery!! I think the points look great.

One thing I have found that helps is if you back each piece with heat and bond or wonder under and iron it down after you trim the fabric. It is annoying to do but it has helped me with some designs.

When y'all are making pattern pieces from the european patterns, how do you get an even seam allowance? I have looked and looked for something that would allow me to trace 1/4 in bigger, but I can't find anything- except rulers, but they won't help on the curves. I know y'all must have figured this out, and I'm probably missing the obvious here- wouldn't be the first time LOL.

You can get a pen that will trace seam allowances here:
http://www.clotilde.com/detail.html?prod_id=2225&criteria=seam+pen
Instead of doing that I know just chalk the actual stitching line that is on the pattern onto the fabric.. I just stich on that line and cut off the rest of the seam allowance.. so I just kidna cut around the pattern instead of it being exact.. That makes no sense. I hope you get what I mean.. I am bad at explaining myself.

Here is a sneak peek of my latest. It hasn't been appliqued yet. Just fused down. Maybe later with the applique...

Beautiful!!!!

Okay dear disbuddies, my computer got a trojan virus today. My son had to wipe the computer clean and reinstall only the necessaties software back on. He said we had too much junk on our computer. Anyway I lost all of my bookmarks and favorites for all of the blogs, embroidery sites and sewing sites. I would really appreciate it if everyone would share their favorite websites with me so I can rebuild my files. TIA

NaeNae you need google bookmarks!!!
It will save your bookmarks under your screen name and you will never ever lose them. You can sign in and use them on different computers. You can download the google toolbar and access them from there or use the igoogle home page thingie.

I enjoyed your minnie trippie. SHe is adorable!!

And I just had to comment on the above, cause I hate doing buttons. Button holes, not so bad (I have to use MILs machine tho), but I always tell people that I am sorry if their buttons fall off, I am just no good at sewing them on so that they stay.

Are you sewing the buttons on the sewing machine?? I sew my buttons on by hand and have never had one come off. I know I have a button foot, but would never try that. It is very easy to sew a button on by hand. PM me if you need instructions of some sort. You probably wont see this because I am so far behind though!

Enabler Alert...You Can Make This website is having 20% off all purchases this weekend!! Code is: SuperSale

Thank you! I got a couple of patterns thanks to this code!

Sitting by the window like in the book but instead of rain...we are getting snow!!!!

SHe is so pretty in that! I love the outfit. Now I need some of that fabric.. I know.. goodluck to me! LOL!

That bear is adorable!! Is that an anitagooddesigns? Stitches out so well!!!
The Candy dress is going to be beautiful!!

Praying for baby Hannah!!! How scary for you guys.


What is the reading program thing that a few of you had said helped your kiddos? I can't remember the name of it and was looking for it for a friend of mine. Her kid is having trouble with reading. It wasn't hooked on phonics. Maybe someone will remember?
I am so far behind. I have been sewing Saints stuff. Who Dat!!!!

I just wanted to say thank you for the supportive comments regarding Hannah- its been great to hear of some of you with first hand experience.
We continue with the eye drop therapy (like a patch for a baby-but drops instead) until Feb 9th and then we meet with the surgeon. Reading about what they do to her eye is really scary. I have been getting her adjusted once a month or so since she was a month old, and she has needed cranial adjustments for a long time, they do seem to bring her some relief, but it is short lived. I hadnt put it together until my Dr looked over her history today.
I have a condition where I use 1 eye at a time (so those 3-D shows at Disney don't work for me) I went thru patches as a kid, but I wouldnt wish it on Hannah. Her Daddy had a lazy eye that is corrected thru glasses. Somehow big sis didn't get it, but Hannah did.
I am so excited, I made more progress on my LOUD candy dress today!
Hope to get close to done tomorrow!

Like everyone else I was going to suggest Patsy Aiken/Chez Ami. They have really cute prints and great prices.

You have super duper name remembering abilities!

She has a crazy name remembering ability! Most days I can't remember my own kids names let alone on here!

I loved seeing the skirt on Facebook, but whole thing together to WONDERFUL!

Love the Vida!!! It came out great!!! I have more ideas than time right now... I would like to make a Give a Mouse a Cookie outfit, a Pokey Little Puppy outfit, a Penguin outfit...special request from dd, a Maisy outfit and I still have to make another Cat in the Hat. Help yourself to any of those!!!

I've been wanting to make DD a Poky Little Puppy Vida... just need to find some time it get it made. Maybe after Valentine's Day outfit is done and before I start on something for our day at the Rodeo (I know the fabrics I'm going to use for that - Riley Blake's Wanna Be A Cowboy in pink/brown - but I'm stumpped on what to make so I haven't started anything yet!)

 

[Cloudwatcher]

Well I finally finished 3 outfits yesterday while DH was working and I had the girls down for a nap.

These are by no means as great as the ones that everyone else does but I am proud of myself none the less. The red outfit doesn't have buttons but I plan on getting those done on Wednesday night when I have the house to myself.
