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

[Granna4679]

Wow...I had to keep the little DGDs this past 24 hrs (and loved every minute of it) so I am about 8-10 pages behind....

Soooo here is how I spent my last 24hours! I have to share.

After being up all night with my DD (who had a fever of 102.4), I took her to the Doctors. Who sent her to get some x-rays later this after noon.

So why waitng for the x-rays to come back to see if it was Pneumonia ( which it truned out to be), She asked to watch Mary Poppins for the 100th time. I of course told her yes, then she chimes in and asks if she can watch it in her new Mary Poppins costume??
Which was not finished yet!
Sooooooooooo I told her she should watch mary poppins twice and by the 2nd time i would have her Mary poppins costume finished!
I rushed home and began putting the finishing touches on the dress and hat.
I finished a little late, but the smile on her face was worth it. It was the 1st and only one today!
Here is a pic.

I worked really hard on the back of the dress and
I will add more pics after my DD is feeling better.

You get my vote for Mommy of the Week...way to go! And I LOVE the Mary dress....so cute.

Another picture of my Belle gown (hope I'm not boring you), now with the hoop skirt underneath. (I can't believe how fast it came!) The dress is still not completely finished, but I think it looks much better with the hoop!

The Belle dress was pretty before but YES, the hoop makes it all the more gorgeous!

I am an RN in a kids ER. Can I tell you how many kids we see that have put something up their nose? Polly pocket shoes/gloves, hot wheels tires are pretty common as are beads, candy and peas. But I LOVE the red hot story! My fav was when a little one put a rhinestone ( the half ones that you put on shirts or jackets) about nickel size up there ----Me: "how did it get up there?" her: "i don't know. I threw it away and it jumped out of the trash can and up my nose"

Too funny!!

Ok girls, my turn to share my sewing stylings (feel free to yawn)- I haven't slept much this week, but I think I got everything done that needed to be...
First, my first Carly bubble- the directions were as clear as they could be, but I sometimes had to reread a few things- I think the next one will go well, though-

close up of the burpies:

finally, another set of dresses for the girls- this time Carla's Cathy dress:

ok, I'm tired now- gotta go back to work.[/QUOTE]

Hey...been thinking about you. Looks like you are keeping busy. I love all the outfits (the matching "cowboy" outfits and things are adorable). Aren't those "free pattern" burp cloths fantastic? I made some a couple months ago for a gift and forgot to take a picture before giving them away but I loved the pattern and they are so cute and soft. Love the "Cathy" dresses too!

[quote="jholbron, post: 35979764"]This board is addictive when I first read that warning when I found this site I thought yall where exaggerating. There is so much pretty stuff on this site!! This is the conversation I had with my dh this morning:

I do not shop at WalMart very often so when he was reconciling the checkbook there was a WalMart charge for $55.

He called and said what did you buy at WalMart for $55?

I said - Oh they had a huge clearance on Fabric and I got a bunch of really good deals. (mostly Disney)

after a long pause he said - you know you don't have a sewing machine yet, right?

I had no logical explanation to this. :)

Olivia had an Alice tea party with her friends.

Olivia's outfit was from Etsy. It had Alice on the bodice and the skirt has the white rabbit, tweedle Dee and Dum, the queen of hearts and the mad hatter. It was $40. When we saw how many appliques the seller did for what she charged Darla just looked at me and said order it.

All done with birthday parties for the year.

WOW!! WOW!! You got a fantastic deal on that dress!

I wanted to post a few things that I have made in the last few months. I am enjoying Carla's portrait Peasant pattern!

This is Lily's Christmas outfit.

Britta's Christmas outfit. It is a patchwork twirly skirt.

I made this shirt for Britta after she broke her arm. The sleeves were nice and big for the cast.


Here are some of the purses I made:

Beautiful outfits and gorgeous kids. So pretty! And I love the purses. I have made a few of those too and can't wait to have the time to make more.

Wow just love everyones stuff...I have been a designer of Childrens Boutique Clothing for 3 years now. The end of last year I basically stopped creating...I still on occassion design and I will do orders for my past customers if they ask.

I thought I would share a few of my favorite past designs

All of these are so cute!

Where do you find your appliqués for a Vida?

I thought I might like to make one for Emily but I need a spring design I was thinking a basket of flowers or something but I can't find anything to use online so I thought I'd ask where you all find your appliqué designs.

Thanks

I find mine from coloring books or internet images (mine are hand appliqued).

Which brings me to my BIG NEWS!!
I bid on a Brother PE-750D machine yesterday on that site and WON the bid for a very reasonable amount I think. I am so excited. I can't wait to get it.

 

[littlepeppers]

Wow, I'm almost finished the Vida w/ butt ruffles.

It is a HEAVY dress. I didn't think about the weight of it.

well friends and prayer buddies

I just talked to my dad -- he took Anne (mom) to the doctor today; they offered to drain the fluid from the pleural cavity again, and she refused treatment.
Hospice has now been called and will take over at their home tomorrow or the next day.

In the meantime, she is causing grief for all of us. She's accusing Dad's kids of not wanting her kids to visit, saying we all have never liked her kids, etc. It's been 40 years. If we didn't like them do you think we would still communicate with them? We've been BEGGING them to visit with her.
Anyway, please continue your prayers when you think of it. Dad still wants her to remain at home...he will need strength and comfort that only God can provide.

Yes, it is....we had professional pics taken just a couple hours ago with my DGDs in their vidas (w/butt ruffles). They were so cute but YES, very heavy!

My SN DS8 likes to put beads in his ear....each and every one requires a visit to the ER. The last time it required a round of antibiotics, because before he told me he tried to get it out with a ...fork! I have thrown away all the seed beads I can find....but he is still finding them!

Nini-

Are you familiar with ear candles? They look like a hollow taper candle-- you stick the narrow end into the ear canal and light the other end.

It creates a light vacuum that pulls "stuff" out of the ear. My friend has successfully pulled a seed pearl out of her 3 year old's ear and my husband knows a woman who used them to pull play-doh from her son's ear!

Ear candling is controversial- but, if it works for you and saves a trip to the ER... If it doesn't work, you are only out about $5 and 15 minutes.

DISCLAIMER: The use of ear candles is controversial. Some people feel like they work, some don't, let's just get along!

 

[eyor44]

I just finished reading/catching up on Princess Phoebe's pre trip report. The Big Give stuff is absolutely amazing. As usual you have all outdone yourselves.

 

[Astro Orbiter]

Can someone help me out?

DD 'accidentally' snipped one of her favorite t-shirts. Any idea on if this is fixable? It's a loose tunic-type shirt with crochet trim at the neck, so it's not like I can stick an applique on it.

Of course, she wants to wear it to school tomorrow for twin day...

Thanks!!!

DISCLAIMER: The use of ear candles is controversial. Some people feel like they work, some don't, let's just get along!

Just as an FYI, I thought I'd add this quote to your disclaimer from an audiology journal: "Researchers for a study in the journal Laryngoscope concluded that ear candles did not produce a vacuum. Their report showed that candling not only didn't remove ear wax but it even deposited candle wax in some ears." So use with caution.

 

[DisneyKings]

thanks for all of the suggestions & comments on my Easter dress. I somehow lost my quotes, but I appreciate all of the help!

I love the purses, are they all from the same pattern? I would love to make the ruffle one for my daughters. Please tell me they came from YCMT.

Anita~ Congratulations on your new machine and thank you for your help with the applique. I guess I need to stop at the store for some coloring books!

Thanks! They are all different patterns. The ruffle on is call Penelope bag. I forget who it is made by. It is rather large. I might try to make it smaller if I ever make it again. It takes alot of fabric because the ruffles are two sided.

 

[InkspressYourself]

I think it looks great!QUOTE] Thank you.

Ok girls, my turn to share my sewing stylings (feel free to yawn)- I haven't slept much this week, but I think I got everything done that needed to be...
First, my first Carly bubble- the directions were as clear as they could be, but I sometimes had to reread a few things- I think the next one will go well, though-

other side (no idea why it suddenly turned sideways- I took them the same way)

I never see cute fabric like this when I'm shopping. I love the bubble romper!

I love the skirt!! It is beautiful! And, your pictre is the perfect size!

Thank you

The top wouldn't fall off, you could wear the top without the obi, but the obi would fall off if you untied it.

Ok, good to know, my dd is terrible about untying things.

That turned out really cute!! You're whipping out those skirts!

The first one took forever, lol. This one didn't seem to take as long. Thank goodness for a ruffler foot or I'd never dream of doing it.

Here are the next two Princessified Simply Sweet Dolly Dresses! I think that Tiana is my absolute favorite! Last on the list of projects beginning this afternoon is a Snow White made from a Precious Dress pattern...

I love Tiana. It is my favorite princess dress.

That is so funny. When I bought my first sewing machine, I bought it to scrapbook with. I had your problem in reverse, sewing machine and no fabric. My dh thought I was crazy too.

Part of the joy of having girls with birthdays 2 days apart is that you have one crazy birthday weekend and then you are done for the year.

Can you guess what the theme was this year?

I love birthday parties. That looks like so much fun. I really like the bows too and would love to hear more about the charms also.

I wanted to post a few things that I have made in the last few months. I am enjoying Carla's portrait Peasant pattern!

Where did she cut it, near the top, bottom or middle? Maybe you could buy one of those rhinestone iron on sets to cover it?

I'm so happy it's Friday, I hope everyone has a great weekend. And keeping up with my dead yard theme, we had ice covered roads and school delays this morning. I wish I lived in the south
