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

[NiniMorris]

Hey, do any of your kids have their own digital camera? My DD is turning 6 soon and she LOVES to take pics. We were thinking of getting her a camera that isn't too expensive and is dependable since she will probably drop it. Those kid tough ones don't get too many good reviews. Any suggestions?

Samuel has the Disney Mickey Mouse camera. It is kid tough and very easy to use. He loves it and actually took it to Disney with us. It has been dropped bunches of times, and it still works great. We got ours at Wally World, but I am sure you can get them many other places. Hope this helps.

My SN DS8, loves to use the digital camera. At my daughter's wedding 3 years ago, he took some awesome pictures...that we only found out about several days later! One is of my 6'7" middle son shining his shoes! It has become one of our favorite pictures of the wedding. He also took some awesome pictures of some things he lined up on the pew...when no one was looking. It turns out he has a great eye for this sort of thing. Every time we pick up our cameras now, we never know what we might see!

He doesn't have his own camera yet, because he is so destructive. Although my GD2 has a digital camera from Leap Frog (Ithink..) and it is very sturdya nd he loves to play with it. He does get a bit frustrated that he can't make it do what he wants it to...

My DD9 saved her money last year and bought a digital camera for our trip to Disney last September. It was a cheap one from Wal Mart. I think it was on sale for about $70. (she had had one of those for 19.99 and was NOT impressed!) She has taken some really cute pictures with it!

I would say, get a camera that is cheap enough that if it gets broken you won't mind, but not so cheap that it takes crappy pictures. Easy...right?

Peasant Dress Question

DS is on the Astro's this baseball season. He has an old T-shirt that I was thinking of turning into a dress for DD.

I was thinking of making it like a peasant dress. Would it work just to put the elastic at the neck & the arms or should I cut into the shoulder seam & gather the top of it?

THIS is what I usually do with t-shirts. I have Carla's raglan pattern and it is really easy. I think you could try it the way you are suggesting too. Maybe try with another t-shirt first.

I totally "heart" Ottobre patterns! That is just about all I will make for dd with the exception of CarlaC patterns. It looks really intimidating at first but once you start it isn't. The pattern you want will have a color and a letter. The letter is the sheet of patterns you will want to use and the color are the color of the the pattern lines you will trace. It will list all the numbered pieces of that color you will need to use and how many of each piece you will need to cut. I use gift wrapping tissue paper to trace so I can see clearly through the paper. Have a good source of overhead light also helps....I typically trace at the kitchen table so the light is directly overhead. The most important thing to remember about Ottobre is that you have to add your own seam allowance! If not it will be too small. I have heard that by taping two sharpened pencils together you can get just about a perfect quarter inch seam allowance. Please PM me if you have any questions. Here are a few Ottobre's patterns I have made...

Sorry for all the pics...but so few people know about Ottobre and I like to spread the love of their patterns...lol.

Thanks so much for the advice and the pictures. As soon as I make something I'll be sure to post. Your post was very inspiring. You made so many cute things, hopefully I will be able to figure it out.

I want it to look girly. The raglan stuff just isn't girly enough. They called DD "Movie Star" at the ball park last year. I wouldn't want to dissapoint HER fans.

I think I will take the advice of messing up another one of DS old shirts 1st. Thanks.

Hi ladies (and Tom)! So I finally got some new fabric (like I need it) to make Peach's Easter dress and some for her friends birthday dress.

BUT now I have a hard one...On the 26th Peach is dress like a Celeb day at school. Georgia wants to look like Taylor Swift. I know what to do with her hair. Im gonna straighten it (I KNOW!) and then give it those loose wide ringlet curls. But its the clothing. What would you do for Taylor Swift? She has boots to wear. I am wondering if she can bring her guitar to school. I think I will hit up a few thrift stores in the area to alter some clothing. But what should I look for? any suggestions? Please. Thanks girls.

We saw Taylor in concert last spring. She wore a lot of sundresses and of course cowgirl boots!

So, evidently Google no longer likes ANY Disney site! Each and every time I click on Disboards, TGM, Passporter, even the Disney Site, I get a warning that this site will harm my computer!!!! (if it read harm my wallet, I would believe it!) I have researched and researched. and reloaded my virus software, and the only incident is a comlpaint that was filled once in the last 90 days that a pop up window appeared and was not stopped by the person's pop up blocker! Sheesh!

Google has told me that until the administrator of these sites tell Google that they are not harmful, it will keep happening. Or, I can wait 90 days and then it will fall off naturally...

Or I could use a different web browser... I do believe Chrome is quickly becoming my least favorite browser...

Now, back to your regularly scheduled discussion....


btw...Beautiful stuff!

We had a kid tough one. We got it for my son when he was 3. He loved it at that age. He wanted to be able to take photos like mommy and didn't really care how they came out. They are very grainy and pretty blurry (I am pretty sure the blurriness was user error though.) I's probably pick up an inexpensive point and shoot for her. I have a friend with an Olympus I think that is made to be virtually indestructible.

The smilies, they are from my 5 year old. He felt that you all needed some goofiness in your day I guess.

Check out the patterns by LilBlueBoo on ycmt or etsy... she does some super cute dresses with "recycled" dresses and other knits. I have made some and they are super cute and easy

That's great! I bet you're glad that's over, and will rest easy when you get the final report.

Here's to happy dreams of sewing soon as you recover!

I've never even seen a Fancy Nancy doll. I'd never even heard of Fancy Nancy until I started reading here. Those are all adorable. My dd would be thrilled to have them!

I have a question for all the wonderful sewers here, if you have an embroidery machine where do you get your disney designs?

My mother and I are looking into getting an embroidery machine and I wanted to know if there was a way to make disney images I found on google into embroidery designs (PES files) or where/how you guys get all the great disney designs on your outfits?

I really want to make some outfits with disney embroidered designs for my niece this year for our trip, but I can't seem to find the ones that I am looking for (like the minnie or mickey heads, or the mickey cupcake design, etc.) that i've seen on these threads so often.

I use the designs preloaded into my machine and also as everyone has said heather.

I know! Wendy is coming back before I get there and Teresa is arriving right after I leave. It's a bummer! Our ADR's are for CRT, HDDR, Boma, Biergarten and we are going to do Beaches 'n Cream. I'm hoping to do the Wishes Dessert party if they bring it back in time.

We are staying at Beach Club so we can just jump out of the pool when you have your ADR's at beaches N Cream and say hello.

Dawn,
DS has had a camera since he was 4 and loves to take pictures. I like to see how he views his world. He even won best of show at our local fair two years ago with a picture of woman at the grocery store. He say "take a picture about you". A very interesting way to think about it. We just give him our cameras when we get new ones.

Glad the surgery is over and you're on the mend. Take it easy so that you can heal properly.

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

We are getting to make our ADR's tomorrow morning....would you eat at CRT in the evening now that the princesses are there or would you go to HDDR? We have never been to HDDR and heard that it is really fun, but I know my girls like eating in the castle. We don't want to do both since they each take up 2 dining credits.

Did you have to resize these in anyway for them to fit Nancy? Dd doesn't have any AG dolls...just cabage patch kids and Carla's patterns don't fit them. We happen to have a Fancy Nancy though....so this could work for me. Dd has been begging me to make her some doll clothes that match hers.

I was able to get the Carla dresses to fit the Cabbage Patch kids...just had to adjust for the bigger than average head. I usually just used velcro to attach the straps. We used the Simply sweet bodice with 'wings' and attached to the front with velcro.

The dolly comes in 2 sizes, one fits the AG and one will fit the Cabbage Patch...with just a bit of modification...
