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

[Mom2SamandJames]

Age is just a number! I feel better now than I did in my 20's. I think wrap skirts will always be around. I know I have some I wear occasionally. After I took the skirt to my son's teacher, I had 2 requests for the same skirt before I could get my little fellow out the door.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Love the wrap skirt but it just doesn't fit like it once did.

For those making the fleece blankets for give a day, hancock is having northern fleece for 2.99 a yard and it is 60 wide. I am going to get a few yards and finish our projects.

 

[teresajoy]

my computer crashed and my son broke his "good knee" and will need surgery (he had surgery 2 mths ago for his left knee that he injured in school!!!) and somehow I messed up the dates for the give I am participating in so

this is what i did today as the deadline is today... was not what I had planned but it was the easiest for me to do without drafting a pattern

Theresa or Heather can I get the address please!!!!!

Linnette, I'm sorry about your son!
and, you NEVER have to apologize for anything you make! These outfits are fabulous!

I have been super busy and have not had any spare time to hang out here. Tonight I finally had a little bit of time to catch up and get my pictures on he computer. Soo get ready for picture over load. Both boys had rodeo days so I made them matching bowling shirts. The sleeves, placket, and collar are a soft suede like material. They wanted to have a sherriff badge on but I couldn't find what I was looking for but I found a fabric that had several badges so the older one picked mounted police to match the horses. The youngest picked k-9 but it was covered up in these pics.

The shirts look great!!!! Your boys are adorable!
And I'd like to know why your son isn't wearing a helmet too!

YUCK!!!! YUCK!!! YUCK!!!


It is official, I have pneumonia.

After a visit to the ER last night and too many meds to remember, and a med induced horrible sleep (I kept feeling like I had to remind myself to breathe!) I made it through the night.

Now to cancel the therapy appts for DS for today (no way I can drive!)and to figure out how to get some groceries in the house and some fabric in my stash!


Nini

Oh, I'm so sorry! Take care of yourself and get better soon!

Here is the reversible wrap around skirt I finished this morning for my son's preschool teacher. I used Carla C's pattern, and I LOVE it! It was so simple and quick.

That is too cute! I love it!

(no, I'm still sick!)

I just processed my order to get my new embroidery machine! Hubby came home and gave me the go ahead. I pressed the order button before he could change his mind!


Now, all I have to do is wait the 14 days for it to come in...



Nini

WOO HOO!
I'm so sorry about your Mom. I don't know what I'd do without our Mom.

Thank you, Teresa! I was starting to think everyone thought that was an appropriate way to teach a kindergarten kid to write! I asked her in a roundabout way if she was going to retire soon and she said she wouldn't be.

!

That's a pity! Maybe they will hire an extra kindergarten teacher like they did at Lydia's school. Then you might have a choice or at least a 50/50 chance!

DS was invited to his first class birthday party and he requested I make something pretty for the little girl. So I present, something pretty per request.

That is just so sweet of your son! And, of you too for making such a cute skirt!

That is too precious! That little girl is going to love it! My son has a crush on one of his classmates, and when she went to Disney World, he insisted I make her a cute shirt to wear. Her birthday is the end of this month, and he wants me to make her a beautiful dress. I better not let him see the skirt you made!

These little boys are too adorable!

Wrap skirts were popular when I was in school. But we used a woven fold tape for around the edges. It's scary when you see things come back.

I wore wrap skirts in high school too, and mine had the twill type tape around the edges too. Don't let the ages of my kids fool you. I will be 39 this year. I had to wait a VERY long time before God decided to bless me with my two blessings!

How old are your kids? And, 39 is nowhere near old!

 

[Mom2SamandJames]

How old are your kids? And, 39 is nowhere near old!

My boys are 4 and 2. My husband and I tried for over 10 years to conceive and were told it was impossible for us. We were in the process of an adoption when I got what I thought was a sinus infection. It turned out to be I was 8 weeks pregnant. I had a miscarriage after that and had to have emergency surgery. I was told again I would have no more children. Four months later I was at the doctor and found out I was pregnant with my youngest.

I don't think 39 is old yet. With two young boys, I don't have time to be old!

I finally downloaded my pics, mainly because I wanted to share what Katie made for Piper's Give. It is a small pillow, only about 8 inches, but she wanted to make a pillow to just lay her head on if she wanted to nap while traveling. (She is making one for herself next). We used the pattern from YCMT. I love the way of doing this! Katie loved the way it came out. I was very proud of her for doing this. (I made a crayon roll up...you all know what they look like!)

And...so I won't get kicked out of the group....I did some sewing too. I made this purse for Katie....

And these ski mask for our trip to Ohio. Both patterns came from YCMT. The mask I just added the "mohawk" to make it easier to spot the kids and make them a little cooler...cause I'm cool like that!

Well...thankfully we are in full melt today and the kids should go back to school tomorrow...only to get more yucky weather on Friday....UGH!

Oh that is too stinkin cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have not put skirts on my DD yet- she is so small waisted, the store bought ones just slide off and are not safe for public use- but I should make this for her- she would love it and its a full elastic waist, so I could get a good fit for her!
Did I mention how sweet I think this is?

SO.. what does your son think?


OFF TOPIC (but really, what is OFF topic here?)

Megan has a little girl friend who will be turning 4. We haven't been able to see her much, since we see her mostly at church- they are in the same class on Thur and then at MOPS, so at one point in time they saw each other almost 3 times a week. Then she missed more and more and more classes. Every wed night she would say before bed "I'm going to see Allie tomorrow!" and she would be really upset when she wasnt there.
I finally called up Mom and invited them for a play date last week.
Long story short, she was only here for maybe 2 hours. I had them make paper bag puppets from a kit.
She gets a temp of 105 every 1-2 weeks. She gets VERY cold and listless and they have to bundle her up. She went thru a lot of testing over the holidays to rule out "the really scary stuff" and believe she has juvenile rumtoid arthritis for starters and are still trying to figure out what else could be the issue.

Megan was invited to her 4th birthday party later this month....sounds like quite the affair...at a hotel, "come dressed as a princess (or pirate)" and Ariel will be there.

What should I have Megan give her???? Maybe I could do a skirt like this?
I was thinking a Fancy Nancy book.....

Aww, I hope the figure out what may be causing the probelms Megan's friend is having.

Could you do the book and a matching skirt? I know there was some Fancy Nancy fabric out at some point. For Christmas I made my goddaughter an Olivia skirt and tee to go with the book, and it turned out really cute

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

Don't get the Singer Futura! I've heard lots of bad things about that machine from my customers. You don't really need a USB port. My machine uses a floppy disk! Seriously! Most everyone that has a Brother embroidery machine seems to be happy with it (as long as it comes with a 5x7 or bigger hoop). I can't help you out on model names/numbers, though.



Thank you, Teresa! I was starting to think everyone thought that was an appropriate way to teach a kindergarten kid to write! I asked her in a roundabout way if she was going to retire soon and she said she wouldn't be.

!

I agree...don't get a singer futura. My DH suprised me with one for christmas and while it was a very nice thought...I strongly dislike it!!! The only thing I have successfully embroidered on it is one of Heather's designs. I am hoping that maybe I can talk my DH into possibly returning it and getting a brother machine instead. Any recommendations otu there? Pretty please!!!

Heather...that teacher was totally out of line. I used to teach Kindergarten and it sounds like that teacher needs to retire!!! The poor kids in that classroom. (Sorry, i forgot to comment on that earlier).

 

[HeatherSue]

It is the Brother PE 770.

Now I've got to re-look at the budget to see how many designs I can get from Heather...of course I probably should seeif I like to use it first!!!

I wasn't in the car with my Mom on their accident, and I didn't get any physical injuries, but it forever changed my life as well. I know exactly what you mean.

Nini

about your Mom. That must have been so hard for you. I'm sure it still is.

It sounds like you got a good machine! I think you'll like it!

DS was invited to his first class birthday party and he requested I make something pretty for the little girl. So I present, something pretty per request.

Sorry, you didn't just make something pretty...you made something beautiful!! She is going to LOVE it!!

Katie did such a fabulous job on that pillow!! I am seriously impressed. Give her a and a big thank you from me! You did an awesome job on the purse and the hats, too! I hadn't seen the pattern for the hats, but those are SO cool!!!

How scary for her friend's parents! I hope they find out what's wrong soon and that it's something fairly easy to fix! I think a scallopini skirt would be adorable! It's one of my favorite looks. You could even do it in a princess theme since the party is a princess party. I'm sure she'd love whatever you come up with!

Thank you!! It helps to hear it from someone else! I think it's awful the way she yelled at the kids all of the time. I didn't hear the full extent of it until this year when Tessa went into first grade. She came home a few weeks into school and said "I just love my teacher. She hasn't yelled at me at all!" It broke my heart because Tessa is a good girl and I can't imagine the teacher having a good reason to yell at her. I know she's far from perfect, but she responds just as well to gentle guidance as yelling. I'm not saying I never yell at her, but I'm allowed since I'm her mom!

Oh this just broke my heart! Kindergarten is supposed to be SUPER fun since this is their first real school experience. Have parents complained about her? Poor Tessa! I am glad she is having a better experience this year.

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

Nini, do you have to buy software after buying the machine in order to download and purchase designs off of the internet? do you know? I am just trying to figure out how much more that machine would cost us. I would so like a machine that is more user friendly and I am just assuming a brother machine would be easier. Who knows, maybe I am wrong.

Yep, that's pretty! I'm impressed that he requested something handmade to give as a gift...most grown men don't "get it"

 

[tjcrabb]

There is a pattern on YCMT.com that will give you the same sort of look and you can do it in any size!

Thanks for the link. I bought it and it looks like I could make it work, it will just take some math.

Wouldn't that be a fun group outfit. Specially with the new Alice movie due out next month.

Check Hot Topic for accessories.

Thanks for the pattern suggestions. I am looking for something that is a little longer though. Hot Topic is a great idea, I will have to stop in!

I love how this turned out! In fact I loved it so much I bought the pattern to make one for my 5 year old niece.

Hi Guys!!

Daniel is to be discharged tomorrow!! Please keep praying. For some reason he has been holding a lot of fluids - but they put him on meds to help. This "b" round of chemo tends to make his counts terrible and he typicall has to go back in a few days later. His spirits are flying high though!!!

I just found out that he and his brothers have become star wars NUTS since Christmas. Do you guys know how you get chosen for the Jedi training? How about do they still have the make your own lightsaber? I want to make sure each child gets a special souviniere this trip, and maybe I'd try to swing this for the guys. Do you know how much it costs? I know there are some SW lovers out there - HELP!!!!

I gave his dad our digital camera to take home tonight to take some pictures of the other kiddos - hopefully he will remember and bring the camera back to me in the am so I can show you their cute faces!!!!

Loving everything thats been posted!!!

You can "signup" to be a jedi by going to the stage area before the next show. And yes you can make your own lightsaber in a couple of different places including DTD.

I really like this. I bought this pattern awhile back and haven't used it. My DGDs would love this with Tink. Thanks for the idea.

What a sweet thing for Katie to do for Piper. I am sure she will treasure it.The purse is cute too. And wow....look at that snow. You will never see that in south Texas. Looks like the kids are having a ball in their cute little hats.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Melissa and I'm totally addicted to this thread! I've spent the last 2 days reading the entire thing! I'm totally inspired by all the amazing creations here.

I'm fairly new to sewing and haven't done much more than the striped twirl skirt and a few tshirt dresses. I'm comfortable making matching skirts for those cute holiday gap shirts.

I'm pretty much chicken to try anything else. I've yet to make anything from an actual pattern. I've bought quite a few already but never opened them. And I've got tons of Carla C's pattern in my shopping cart ready to be purchased.

I've decided to take the plunge and purchase an embroidery machine also. I've spent way to much money over the years on custom disney outfits that I know I can make myself. I just wasn't able to make the applique embroidered shirts without the machine.

So I've decided on the Brother 2800D, kinda scary spending so much on something I've go no clue how to use, but exciting at the same time. Would also love to buy a serger also, I love the look of the rolled hems. I'll probably go cheap on that one and get the Brother 1034D model, hopefully it's okay.

Hopefully soon I'll have some embroidery work to share with all of you. But for right now just working on a valentines day twirl skirt...keeping with what I do best!

The ladies here will inspire you to do more than you ever imagined you could. You'll find yourself wanting to make outfits for about everything. Then your kids will start asking you to make things too. Welcome!
