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

[desparatelydisney]

I have a bunch of stuff to comment on, but a quick BBB drive by question. I had a ressie for CRT at 8a and BBB (a surprise) at 9:40 for DD's B-day. I thought about it, and realized it would be more fun for her to switch it around; she'll be wearing the b-day dress I made her and not changing.

I was just able to secure a 9:25 CRT and 8 or 8:30 BBB; I took the 8:30, thinking it would give us time on main st for photos before hand, as opposed to being rushed through at 7:50 or so. My question is, will we make it? (I'm planning to be at the podium by 8:15).

When we were in before Thanksgiving a parent got a walk-in and was all concerned about meeting a reservation at CRT in 30 minutes. The FGITs at the podium said, "don't worry, we will tell CRT, it happens all the time "

I certainly could not get fed up of seeing your daughter in this outfit its amazing .The fabric is georgous & you are very talented.We to had some amazing moments with Mary in Disney World & Paris Disney when wearing a Mary custom made i dont know how to post pictures.We had pictures withMary Burt & 3 penguins .Thanks for showing it again .Have you made it again i had 2 made two years in a row.

Thank you so much! You need a photobucket.com account to put pictures up. It's free too, you just upload your pictures there and you copy and paste the bottom link that they provide for you here on your post. Then voila pictures . I would love to see your pics. In 3 trips, Julia has yet to meet Bert or The Penguins. She also gets upset that she can't find Jane and Michael......Someday she will figure out why . She wants to meet Bert so badly too. He was never around when we were there. We even had the character managers find out for us. Oh, well maybe next time. The Dress still fit my daughter the last time she tried it on. The belt was getting a bit snug though. I am sure eventually I will have to make another....

Thanks so much for posting them! You did an amazing job! The Mary costume in my avatar is the second I have done for my daughter. She outgrew the last one, and I couldn't imagine a trip without it!

Your welcome! I love your avatar too. Just adorable! Your daughter was lucky enough to meet a penguin too. Mary brought my daughter an autograph from Mr. Penguin during one of their "meetings" but we didn't see him.

Thanks for the congrats! I am working on another idea for those of you that aren't close.

LOVE the Mary Poppins!!!!!

Thank you!

practically perfect in every way

Your welcome! I love your avatar too. Just adorable! Your daughter was lucky enough to meet a penguin too. Mary brought my daughter an autograph from Mr. Penguin during one of their "meetings" but we didn't see him.

We got lucky on our first trip out with the first costume and found Mary and Bert in the MK. Unfortunately, neither Mary NOR Bert are currently appearing in the MK!

Before our last trip, I decided to remake the costume, and had every Disboutiquer here helping me hunt down larger boots! And I even started my own thread looking for suggestions on finding Mr. Penguin. I had wanted pictures with him for some time! I found out that he makes fairly regular appearances in the random character sets in the late afternoon in the Animation Building at DHS!

Now that we're toying with going to DisneyLand for a day this summer, I'm wondering if it will be too hot to bring the Mary Poppins out for one last spin.....

From one Poppins lover to another.... great job!

OMG, this is soooo my little brother. He had a ducky that was made by the grandmother of a close family friend before he was even born. She died before he was born, mom put it in his crib. He got attached to it and carried it everywhere. It had no wings within a few years, and always looked ratty no matter what we did. Friends and family always bought him stuffed ducks, for every occasion. So he had a ton of them, but loved Ducky.

He got married 7 years ago, and we thought he needed another duck of course, so Mom bought a little one, and Dad stuffed it in Jeff's breast pocket of his suit just before the ceremony. I will have to did up a pic of that, it is really cute to see a grown man on his wedding day with a duck in his pocket.

Oh how sweet. I would love to see the picture. I would soooo have to show that to my daughter.

OK... I promised to show pictures, but you have to understand...it is still a work in progress. From these pictures, it really looks spacious, but you have to remember the Quilt Machine needs to come out from where it is against the wall to the middle of the room to use it.

I still have some storage issues to work out, and the decorating Really needs to be worked on! LOL! And...there is a large treadmill in the corner that is really taking up valuable space. I also have a full size kitchen (just out of camera range) with a table that seats 6. The bedroom is now a playroom for the kids with toys, books, tv, video games, and a bathroom just off from that.

Now, if photobucket will just cooperate, I'll get a few pictures uploaded here.

Now to see if I was smart enough to get the pictures right on my first try!

Wow.....I love it. My dream is a sewing room that is not a bedroom. Ha!

I made my first Precious Dress on the weekend. Of course, as with all of Carla's Patterns it was easier than I expected. I never imagined I could do pretty puffy sleeves like that. This is a size 1, for the granddaughter of a co-worker.

I love this dress. It is so sweet and girly!!

Maybe, I bought the fabric at Walmart then...I can't remember....

Yes, I made the Mary Poppins dress. Thank you! I made it before I even found this thread a couple of years ago. Then I found the Dis-boutiquers and said to myself "Oh, my goodness, there are others like me?" Needless to say, it was a very happy day for me.


I have posted so many pictures of it before some of the ladies might be tired of seeing it, but since you asked (and I can see you have a Mary Poppins fan too) I would be happy to post some. There is a great story that goes along with it that I am sure you can find in my past posts. In short, we experienced some truely amazing and unforgetable Disney magic that gave us memories that will last a lifetime.


Here you go, my pride and joy, mini-Poppins:

This picture was taken our last day of the trip when we had to say goodbye to an amazing Disney CM Mary Poppins. Julia's dress and shoes were beginning to show wear because of wearing it multiple times throughout our stay, but this picture is one of my favorites. My daughter knew exactly what to do and how to act right next to her favorite character. This picture makes me smile everytime I see it!:

I am in awe!! I love Mary Poppins and these are fantastic pictures. You did an awesome job!

Oh, and I love your Christmas outfit you posted a couple pages back as well.

That is the cutest thing ever. I had a duck when I was little too & I slept with it until I was in jr high I know. I still have it & I can remember being sick a few times as an adult & getting it out to cuddle with on the couch. He lost his eyelashes & beak so long ago that I don't remember him having them & Mom & I both sewed his eyes & head back on more than once.
My sil, bless her heart, took her stuffed puppy to college with her & more than once had to turn around & go back to get him when she went home for the weekend. They teased her about whether she planned on taking him on her honeymoon.

Oh I can't tell you how many times we returned to day care, church, restaurants, etc just to retrieve the ducky that was left behind. She really went no where without him.

And they say pregnant brains are full of mush....

You're on a roll!

Keep up the good work!

If I keep going at this rate I probably WILL be feeling a bit mushy in a day or 2!

Hey, sorry to keep pestering you... .when were you at Disney with the costume?

We had an interesting interaction with some CM's. I think they thought we were you! Was it early 08? We had been there in Jan 08, then returned in December with the costume again. They asked if we had been there earlier in the year, and I said yes, thinking they were asking about our January trip.

I had no idea what they were talking about, but they made us wait while they printed out a copy of their CM newsletter with a write-up on little Mary Poppins. They were SO excited to think they had found the person to give it to! If that was you, did you ever get a copy? I brought it home, so it's here sometwhere, I'm just not sure where right now.......

Lots of cute things posted since my last visit!!

I didn't share this one yet. Here was Julia's Pooh Christmas outfit I made. She looked like a little elf:

That couldn't be any cuter!!! That stripe fabric is great!


I think I've posted this on facebook, my blog, sewforum, and flickr... don't want to leave ya'll out
I made my DD a charm twirl skirt last week - we were shopping at a local quilt shop and she picked up the Barnyard Buddies charm pack. I sometimes let her pick a Fat Quarter when go to a quilt shop (she loves fabric!) but this time she wouldn't leave the charm pack alone.

There were enough charms in the pack to make 2 skirts... now to figure out what to do with the second skirt.

I already posted on the Big Give site, but thought I'd share here too. This is my first Big Give, and I had fun doing this. The top is a Simply Sweet variation, the pants Easy Fit with elastic at the ankles. Jasmine is from HeatherSue, Aladin and Genie are from DivasDuds. I must say HeatherSue has me spoiled with her designs, the others weren't hard, just fussy...on Aladin there was a piece of applique that totally got covered up with embroidery. I like that HeatherSue has some of the detail in embroidery, it just makes sense! I CASE'd Cathy, HeatherSue and OllieGirl to make this, I liked OllieGirl's idea of calico princesses...totally washable! The fabric has gold sparkles, but they didn't photograph well, and it isn't crooked like it appears, I've just got it on crummy wire hangers. My live models are either too big or too small! lol

CUTE!! I've loved all the rag quilts you've posted! I really need to make one. I've had a full Fat Quarter stack of Sock Monkey flannel in my stash for 2+ years - I need to use it on something.

WHEW! Finally caught up! For those of you not my friend over on FB - last week I went to the ER with pain and nausea. They discovered by appendix was perforated and I had surgery. Was in the hospital until Wednesday, and I'm just starting to feel more like my old self (hard to recover when you have a two month old, especially one I had to reestablish nursing with). I can now hopefully keep up with the thread! Missed you all! I've enjoyed seeing all the Christmas and winter outfits.

Love the rag quilt and taggy. What a cute idea to coordinate them.
And your birthday shirt is darling. Happy Birthday whenever it is...I assume soon?

I totally know you're joking about purchasing the mailbox, but are you serious about the fish and duck ones? Do people really have those? I am incredibly thankful right now for our HOA!!!!!

Unfortunately, I'm dead serious! I'll have to remember to take pictures of them for you someday! We live close to a river or three.. does that make it any better??

Anyway, whew, that is long. Now, he has been re-educated, has a great job, and thanks me for being a little tough with him. (oh, and one of his sisters still does not talk to me

Good for you doing what you knew you had to do to help him the most!

That is absolutely adorable!

I don't have one completed outfit and I got my email for online check in this afternoon. Why do I always wait until the last minute? And instead of sewing today I have been online looking at websites that have Epcot attractions that were never built and stuff like that.

You sound like me!

t

I NEVER get tired of seeing the pictures!!! And, I'd love to hear the stories again too!

We got lucky on our first trip out with the first costume and found Mary and Bert in the MK. Unfortunately, neither Mary NOR Bert are currently appearing in the MK!

I love these pictures! Janet you are so talented!!!!

where did you end up finding the boots?

There were enough charms in the pack to make 2 skirts... now to figure out what to do with the second skirt.

That is precious!!!

Love the Mary Poppins and the fun Jasmine set! Beautiful!!!

[Stephres]

Gorgeous! I know she will love it!

It's just ok: NOT! It is totally adorable! What size seams are those? I usually use 1/2 inch but yours look fluffier.

Give Zoey a big birthday kiss from us!

Oh my, totally sweet! I love that she is already picking out her own fabric!

I love these pictures! Janet you are so talented!!!!

where did you end up finding the boots?

I couldn't even tell you the name of the place any more. It was online. A customer of mine ended up finding them for herself and snnt me the link.

It's not a place I would recommend though. When I ordered them, they had 2 pair left, and one had some spots on them. I said I definitely didn't want those. A few days before my trip, I realized they hadn't arrived, so I called and all they had left were the ones with the spots. Fortunately they express mailed them just in time and the spots were really tiny.

But you guys know how much I obsessed about this, so I was kind of ticked....

I did enjoy all the Mary Poppins discussion again yesterday since I was making one for someone at the time!
