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

I think most of you knew I had been talking about homeschooling Lydia. Well, today I made it official. This was our first day of official homeschooling I say official, because I was homeschooling her the last two weeks while she was sick, but today was the first day she didn't go to school just because I was teaching her myself. We went to a local museum (Rochelle, we went to the Kingman museum) we've never been to today. The ladies working at the museum gave us our own little tour. It was fun! Then we went to my Mom's house to see her and Heather (who I haven't seen in like THREE weeks!). As we were getting out of the van, Lydia was giggling and said, "I haven't even learned anything all day!" Which, of course made me giggle, because we just spent the morning at the museum and on the ride home she had been retelling me all the things she saw and what she liked best. (petrified poop, by the way, that was her favorite thing!)

Welcome to the biggest, best, scariest, most rewarding roller coaster ride ever!!


I need help??? Without digging thru 10 DISboutiquers threads, someone made a Disney-Hawaiian style vida or Feliz in the last 18 months and I remember loving the fabrics in it. Could whoever made it repost? I am also going to go check the Photobucket group acct right now.

TIA!

This must be the week. This has been Irelands first week of homeschooling too. We had some issues with the school and I was just over it altogether. So, I ran and bought all of the things that I thought she would need, and so far so good. I was contacted by her school though, and have to go and fill out some paperwork. I'd love to know who you are using, what kind of books, that sort of thing...Lisa

With all of us homeschooling now...we should have a Disboutiquers Homeschool Group. LOL

There is already a Disney Homeschool group on yahoo.

Do you know about the Homeschool Chat thread here on the DIS?

I would be very interested in learning what curriculums y'all are planning on using. My DD is only nearly 4 months old, but since I recently found out she'd be held back due to her age when starting school I figure it is not too early to start researching.

btw, have been quiet and following for the last week or so and am praying for all the needs that have been mentioned.

Congratulations on taking the leap! We started homeschooling when my oldest was in 8th grade, she is now 25 and my baby is 16 and finishing her High School years at home.
As you probably already know if you google homeschooling you will get more info than you can digest but I wanted to mention to you that there are very specific curriculums out there. If you want Catholic Homeschooling, Jewish Homeschooling, Christian Homeschooling, Secular Homeschooling... you get the idea, google what your looking for and it will help to narrow down to choices that you need. Also don't forget to put in your state and the word homeschooling, County and homeschooling and even your town and state homeschooling. That's a great way to find your local groups, activities and conferences. The conferences start in the Spring so if you look now you wont miss out!
Have fun with your kids, it was the best time of my life!

Before you fill out "paperwork" check the laws.
What county are you in?

Hi everybody! I just found this thread sometime last week and have been spending the last few nights catching up : ) It's nice to know that there are others that sew their own Disney customs. I've been doing it for years and am really inspired by all your work. I'll have to post a few pics of some of my creations sometime soon.

Yay! Just got my Feliz pattern in the mail!

I had a little trouble finding it in stock, so if you are like me and have always wanted to try it but not purchased the pattern yet, you may want to go ahead and get it before they are all gone! It has been discontinued, so who knows how hard it will get to find....

Just an FYI...I just ordered the new Fabernmix book, Sewing Clothes Kids Love: Sewing Patterns and Instructions for Boys' and Girls' Outfits, and it includes the Feliz pattern in it and 9 others. It is only $16.49 at Amazon right now. The photos inside are gorgeous! It's a good alternative if you can't find the Feliz pattern in stock.

 

[desparatelydisney]

Could I ask for some prayers please?

My Aunt fell and is in the hospital. She has to have surgery. She lost her husband a few years ago and never had kids. She is too far for me to go see her.

Also my Mom's husband is having heart problems. My dd just loves him.

prayers said

Okay...I have searched the group acct and done 30 minutes of keyword searching the DIS with no success. If anyone remembers the dress I am talking about please let me know :-D

Hi y'all, I can't find the sham rock design you're using anywhere- can someone help me out with where to find it?

Also, Dad was moved to the Rehab floor today; and for the first time he sounded like himself and was cracking a few jokes; thanks for all your prayers; I know God is with him.

YAY DAD!!! on the road to recovery!! Prayers continue though!!!
I love that Sham Rock design too!!!

BIG GIVE ADVICE NEEDED...

I am planning to make tshirts for the adults...

I was thinking for the women maybe a 5x7 sized design, center-front, should I go bigger?

For the Men should I do a larger design on the back of their shirts instead?

If not these options- than what??

I love your ideas - I only have a 4x4 and still have fun with it, but of course have hoop envy!!! lol!!! My DH likes things on the front of his shirt, but he is a BIG KID!!!! lol I think what ever way you go they will like - its DISNEY afterall!!!!!!! Which is nice - one year I walked around with Mickey Christmas Antlers and Billy was wearing a Mickey Santa hat for the whole week!! Why do we do that!!!

Could I ask for some prayers please?

Thanks!

Usually I'm pretty good at remembering things, but I don't remember who made that.

That's is pretty neat! I didn't even know you were thinking about it!

Congratulations on taking the leap! We started homeschooling when my oldest was in 8th grade, she is now 25 and my baby is 16 and finishing her High School years at home.

Thanks! I think we'll start Arminda next year. She will be going into 7th grade. Lydia is in 1st.

Could I ask for some prayers please?

My Aunt fell and is in the hospital. She has to have surgery. She lost her husband a few years ago and never had kids. She is too far for me to go see her.

Also my Mom's husband is having heart problems. My dd just loves him.

Of course you can have prayers! I hope your aunt and Mom's husband are both ok!

I just watched GMA and they showed a new toy called Harumika....has anyone else seen this? I haven't seen it in stores yet but it looks like my daughter would LOVE this. She is a budding designer, and already is trying to make clothes for her dolls....

If someone see these in a store, let me know please. I want to see it in person before I actually purchase one for her.

My dd Morgan got 1 for Christmas & she and Sierra liked it so much that Sierra had to have her own for her bday. you dont get much fabric with the set but that was fine by me since they have really ben more interested in using some of my scrap fabrics so they could match the outfits they were making.

What other patterns are in the book - is the Vida in there?????? Im so tempted!

I got the book last weekend and really like it. The Vida is not in it(I actually still need the Vida). Here is a list of the patterns from the book

Imke Shirt
Riviera Leggings and Shorts
Brooklyn Tank Top
Brooklyn Shrug
Insa Skirt
Dortje Trousers
Avalon Jacket
Silver Lake Windbreaker
Feliz Party Dress
Manhattan Special Occassion Dress

One thing that I hadn't thought about with the patterns is that they are on tissue paper. I don't find this to bothersome because the patterns have to be traced anyway. But tissue never holds up as well. On a great note is the price at amazon isn't much more that one of the patterns would be alone.

Guys, I need your help....
I was going to post this on the community board but thought I'd better post it here. My son (11) is a smart kid, he retains things and gets A & B's. He is no snowflake and is a pain in the patootie sometimes too!
I have been in conversation with his teacher about his work in grammar/writing because she said he doesn't want to write. I have worked with him for his whole school life about this problem. If it is a situational question (tell me about a time you and a friend did... OR tell me about your summer vacation) he gets stumped. He freezes, can't think of anything, gets hung up on the simpliest of things. One paper he had to write to a "friend" overseas and he knew what he wanted to write in his head - he wrote Dear... he didn't go any further because he couldn't decide on a name. I just got his report card and he went from A to D for last term in that grade - all others either went up or maintained the same level.
This year I have tried everything I know of and I just am at my wits end! Each lesson that he brings home ends in tears, frustration, and it's not good.
I live in a rural area and there are no tutor locations or anything like that here. I have asked numerous times for recommendations from the school and I get nothing. I have asked for him to have assistance and his teacher said to me that he doesn't need it - he is being defiant. I don't know what kept me from putting her out right there....

So if you are still with me... does anyone have experience with this? Do you know of any resources to help me help him?

I am also trying to get in to see a counselor to make sure it isn't defiant - I would imagine that would impact all aspects so I am not sure that is what it is but somethings gotta give.

Thanks for listening to me...

It is only $16.49 at Amazon right now. The photos inside are gorgeous! It's a good alternative if you can't find the Feliz pattern in stock.

I ordered mine during the pre-release, and totally forgot I did until I got it in the mail a week or two ago. I already had the Feliz, but getting it was a bonus, the patterns and outfit look like so much fun, but I think the hard part will be finding the cool fabrics.
