Disboutiquers Part 20 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[lovesdumbo]

Just wanted to ask everyone to please continue to pray for little Mya. She is still in the hospital. Also please pray for Mom. I am so worried about her.

Prayers for Mya and her family.

 

[teresajoy]

I'll be there when you're there. Can I meet you? Even if I don't sew anything new for this trip? I might try to make DS & I Flower Fest Mickey & Minnie T's. And DS really wants a Carousel of Progress T but that scares me. I have to figure something out for that.

I would love to meet up. I don't think we are doing many parks this trip. But, maybe we could meet at DTD? Could you PM me your cell number again?

I got their update this morning. I'm praying.

I homeschool! How do you get the discount? Do they make you have some kind of paper or something to prove it? Does that include a discount on fabric too?

I applied a few weeks ago online, and then got a little card in the mail the other week (but I need to figure out what I did with it, I can't find it!). With the card was a letter that said I'd need to bring in some sort of proof that I homeschool. I have an HSLDA card, so I was going to bring that in. I saw another site that gave out a number to use when applying for the Joann's card ,but then I'm not sure how they would handle that when you went to activate it in the store.

Where can I find the black mickey head to applique?

Thanks!

It's in the group photobucket account. I think under graphics?

OK, thanks for the ok; hope you like my version:

Without further ado, Woody and Jessie: (and bullseye, although he's hidden a bit in the pic)

you can't see the bow very well, but I loved making the raggie bow; this pic shows the bow a bit better:

and here's a pic of DS, he's trying to be all "street" but at least you can see the appliques a bit better

Finally, here's what I worked on tonight: the Kathy (sp?) dress from CarlaC- Loved it! Will def. be making another one or two w/ some st. croix I just got...

i have a thing for rolled hems, so I changed that; but other than that it's pretty true to the pattern. I didn't get a pic of DD in it though b/c she's already in bed.- sort of...

So cute!!! You reminded me I need to get working on an outfit for Western Day at Lily's preschool!

I am FINALLY finished with my DGDs Easter dresses. I was so inspired by LisaZoe's vida that I had to try it myself. Now, I realize mine isn't as intricate and detailed as hers but I am pretty happy with it. Thanks Lisa!!
I used all SisBoom fabrics by Jennifer Paganelli...I just love them.

This is the front and back of DGD5's dress (they are alike mostly except for the placement of the ruffles). I did little sis's first and decided to put more ruffles on Big Sis's.

This is DGD2's dress....front and back...(the ruffles are straight...my photography is crooked..LOL

And a closer look at the applique...

Thanks for letting me share these.

those are gorgeous! I have been intending to make something Bambi for years now!

As requested here is my "Herbie" set

That is really cool! Such a great idea. Herbie always reminds me of my childhood.

well, I'm waiting to find out if it's ok to post my rodeo pics, so I'll just post the St. Patricks day quick outfits for the kiddos:

Thanks to billwendy for the heads up on the design

What a great job. I also love the Kathy dress. That is my next pattern to buy. Love that print.


Thank you for sharing. Those are beyond wonderful. How much fabric did you purchase?


I live in Cumming and luckly my Wal-mart, 5 mins away, still has its fabric.



I like Hoop De Doo - but I really liked Micky's Backyard BBQ. It was so fun for my kids to dance around with Mickey and the gang and they had food that everyone in my family would eat. I loved it!! Also the kids weren't just sitting around for 2 hours.

really cute!

 

[Granna4679]

These are beautiful! Great job!

These are so cute and the appliques are amazing. What great work. I'm sure your DGDs will be so cute in them.

That is just amazing, you must have patience beyond. It is beautiful!

Thank you all so much. For whoever asked....(lost the quote)...I bought one yard of each of the 6 prints. I bought an extra yard of the white on white to make portrait peasants to go underneath (still to be done). I had only tiny scraps of each one left. You can't see it but the back middle piece is the paisly print (like the top ruffle) so thats where that one went.

I got these at my local Wal Mart. They come in prepackaged 2yds. This is their answer to not having a fabric dept. This store is a test market for it. If you're interested in the buzz/woody fabric let me know and I'll see if they still have it.

Adorable prints you got! I saw prepackaged fabrics at our local wally but it wasn't Disney stuff. I think I remember them talking about selling prepackaged fabric about a year or two ago.... so it looks like that's what's happening. Is the price about the same then per yard when it comes prepackaged? Just wondering.

We just got back home yesterday. I wish I had time to look at what everyone has posted since I've been gone. Maybe I will find time soon to catch up. I
have a quick question. I am getting ready to cut out some Big Give outfits and want to make sure I am making the correct sizes. I am always afraid when I make clothes for others that they won't fit. I am going to make some portrait peasants to match some flouncy skirts. Chest measurements on the girls are 22" and 23". But I am afraid if I make the size 3 or 4, the shirts will be too short. Would it be ok to make the size 5 and put a shorter length of elastic in the neck? Or should I make the size 4 and lengthen it? I hope I haven't confused everyone as much as I've just confused myself
Also, the brother wears a shirt size 8/10, but his chest measurement is 24 1/2, so do you think the size 7/8 bowling shirt or should I size the pattern up a little?

Thanks for any suggestions. I will figure out sizes on day, I hope.

I love this outfit!

For Homeschoolers there is no such thing as a short answer LOL

You can sign up for the Discount right in Joanns. What they require varies by your state laws.

In Michigan, you don't have to give the state "proof" that your homeschooling, but Joann's asks for it!

I like Hoop De Doo - but I really liked Micky's Backyard BBQ. It was so fun for my kids to dance around with Mickey and the gang and they had food that everyone in my family would eat. I loved it!! Also the kids weren't just sitting around for 2 hours.

They let us for the last 15 -20 minutes of Mickey's Backyard BBQ in October, and the girls LOVED it! (although there was an awful lot of beer sitting around on the picnic talbes!)

How fun, I bet all the girls want one .

I should have had her handing out business cards!!!

The same here in Florida. I offered to bring them a copy of my "letter of intent". Of course I had M right there with me on a school day LOL.

Thanks everyone, for the well wishes and prayers for my mom.

They first discovered the cancer in her lungs. After a second CT scan, we were told yesterday that there is another (large) mass on her colon.
She is 89 years old, and in frail health. She has Parkinson's Disease and Osteoporosis. She's lived a very full life - she is a Christian and believes that Heaven is waiting for her. She's my step-mom but has been married to my dad for 40 years. My birth mother died in an automobile accident when I was 5, so this woman is really the only mom I've known.
Between her and my dad, there are 11 children - I'm the youngest
Together they have 29 grandchildren, and I don't know how many great-granchildren she has.
So there's the biography

She is opting for no treatment. She's ready to "go home", and my dad is ready to let her go. We've not been given a timeframe yet.

Your prayers are so appreciated - especially for my dad. I can't imagine losing not just one, but TWO spouses in a lifetime. Pray for comfort and peace for him. He wants to take care of her at home as long as he can.

Again, thanks so much!

HELP!!! IF YOU HAVE A JOANN'S NEAR YOU, PLEASE READ!!!

Okay, everyone..I'm despearate. None of the Joann's has this fabric near me and I have a dress and a half! If you knew how many incarnations these Easter dresses have been through because I couldn't find the fabric I wanted and then changed to a more casual dress because of it. I didn't take into account the directional issues with the fabric and then I cut some pieces wrong...sigh. I had taken all they had at the Joann's at the time. I'm willing to reimburse you if you happen to find it when you are at a Joann's. I need only a yard but I'd say get a yard and a half Just In Case. LOL. It's called Garden Bunnies and the sku number is 400021283046. I'd love you all forever and ever.

Of course now I can't get the scan to attach because it's a pdf, not a jpeg. I'll have to take a picture at home but it has bunnies on it in the garden with easter eggs, baskets and watering cans.

I have to say something to and about you, the Disboutiquers...and I'm in tears as I type...

Yesterday on Facebook, I messaged 14 of my Disbou friends regarding a situation in my family - my mom was just diagnosed with lung cancer.
Almost immediately I received notes...as of today, I've received 12 responses filled with love, encouragement, promises for prayers, and virtual hugs.
At the same time, I sent an almost identical message to 20 of my everyday (local) friends - people I see often, people I've known for years. I've received responses from 2 of them.
Mind you, I didn't send out that message to illicit responses or sympathy. I did ask for prayers -- I just think it says a lot about this group of people.

You are a loving, compassionate, and caring community. I love being a small part of this community..and I thank you.

Darla

We have such a great group of ladies here. I'm so sorry about your mom...my prayers are with you and your family.

Unfortunately...if she keeps walking on it, it will not heal properly and she will need another surgery. Last night her cast looked like it has been on for 12 weeks already! (and it has only been 10 days!) I can't imagine how it is doing any good... it is so banged up and falling apart!

I'm considering getting some rope to tie her in the wheelchair (since she has learned how to not only climb out of it but to undo the belts!)

Of course, her reply is "its working now!" so I guess she figures why not walk....



Nini

I can't beleive another 12 weeks of trying to keep a 2 year old down.My prayers are with you also!

 

[angel23321]

I had the same experience. I think I hugged everyone too! So basically, I was walking up to complete strangers hugging them but really it felt like hugging a long lost friend!

I'm part of a mommy group on ivillage (we all have kids born in the same month and year). I've "known" them since I was preganant...the first time a group of us met in person, we all hugged. At that point, our kids were 3 so of course it felt like we were hugging a long lost friend. So it makes sense, we share not only our sewing here.

Can I ask where you all buy the sisboom fabrics? And those Vidas are just stunning. I LOVE them.

You're post made me cry. It's an amazing legacy she (and your dad) have left behind. My prayers are for your dad and peace as he deals with her wishese.
