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

[Diz-Mommy]

I just got back from the WalMart closest to my house. NO FABRIC!
(well, a couple of bolts of some sort of polyester double knit stuff! ) You know the drill, what they have is half off, but nothing is left. Fabric lady said they just put it on sale yesterday!!!

She said 99% was bought by employees! I guess there will be a flood on that auction site now. I think that should not be allowed....but then again that is just me!

They also had 0 shoes ...well, unless you count the ONE style of ladies dress shoes in only tiny sizes. There were no ladies sneakers, only a few styles of sandals. Kids shoes wasn't much better. One or two styles.

So what is Wally world gonna sell now? In the food section, they only carry a few brands, no real selection! This is a relatively new Wally World.


Well, at least the fabric lady did tell me the other local WM will be discontinuing their selection of fabric in the next few months! I guess I'll start stalking them...I wasn't planning on getting some of my fabric until closer to our date...



OK Rant over!

We are having some pretty nice weather though......

I hear ya Nini, I was marjory bummed when my Wal-Mart stopped carrying fabric and notions too... I quit grocery shopping with them after that, and am now a dedicated Target shopper!

I was wondering if anyone has bought a pettiskirt on ? The prices don't seem to bad but I don't want to be disappointed. I am too afraid to make on on my own and else where they are too much $$$. Thanks!

Here is my 3 month quilt that did take 3 months. I learned a lot by making this quilt as it is only my 3rd quilt ever. I use to make customs for our trips and a few gives but quilting has become my new obsession or insanity, I haven't figured out which one yet.

WOW! WOW! WOW! And your third quilt at that! Amazing. I've gotten back into quilting again and having so much fun. Of course I haven't been doing much sewing at all... the fundraiser I've been co-chairing is in a week. I pray for strength and to not lose my mind before it is all over I'm taking the Monday after the fundraiser off from work... I'll send DH & DD to work/school and spend the entire day with my sewing machine... no phone, no email (then I'll work on clearing out the 3000 emails that have cluttered up my inbox!)

What I miss most about the loss of the fabric section isn't the fabric as much as the things like thread, elastic, rickrack and buttons. It was so nice to be able to get some of those when I had to run to WM anyway for other things.

I miss being able to make a late night run for those things when I need them. I think there is still one more WM in my area with fabric. I'm stopping by there this weekend to see if there is any that needs to be added to my stash

I just popped in for the first time in about a month, and of course, Lisa's is the first post I see. This Vida is GORGEOUS!! Now I have the Olivia song going in my head.

My sewing machines still haven't even been plugged in since we moved here in august. Coming here gives me a serious sewing itch....

Hello Angela where did you move from? I moved to Texas 2 years agoe and I am still learning the place. I just live that Olivia dress

Now, how did he do that! At least he got you a new one!!!

I was sewing at the kitchen table . He came around the back of me to see what I was sewing and tripped over the cord and down went my sewing machine. So not am I only getting a new sewing machine ,he is now making a sewing corner in our room for me ! I'll post pics when I have enough posts . Mary

 

[lollipopsandgiggles]

Uhmmm, is that paint?? WOW!!!!!!

Love all the outfits. I like the patchwork twirl the best.

AHHHH, my hoop has not come in yet. (Yes, I am the one who broke her hoop into millions of pieces) I am starting to get worried. I need it for EASTER!!!!!! I had better come tomorrow, or I am going to cry!!!!

On a horrible note- A little boy, age 10, was killed at Fort Wilderness in a bus accident. He was riding his bike and was hit by the bus. My heart goes out to that family. I could not imagine losing a child, especially at Disneyworld. Disneyworld is supposed to be safe.

Yes I painted it all if I could create in fabric what I can paint then I would be in good shape. God bless that family ..... I could not imagine.

Oh no!!! I am always in fear that someone will do that at my house! I sew at the kitchen table, and Lydia is always coming up next to me to see what I'm up to. I'll have to be extra careful!

I can't wait to see some pictures!

So we are leaving on Saturday for Las Vegas to visit family and friends. We will go to San Diego /Sea World mid week. This is what I made for my dd who is 7 and ds who is 6. The skirts look much better IRL - my mannequin is a size 3/4.

 

[Granna4679]

Just had to vent.....my embroidery machine that I bought on still has not shown up (I bought it a week ago today). She gave me a tracking number but it is just a shipment confirmation. The post office says they won't track until its 14 days since parcel post is 2-9 days. Why oh why didn't I ask her to send priority...never even thought to ask. I can't wait to get it.

A couple new things I've made.

This was made to coordinate a furry friend with the above set. I also used this as a chance to do the Audrey skirt in a doll/furry size.

Just one more - another layered ruffle Vida.

As usual....all soo cute!! I really like the vida. Love the colors!

Very cute! Hope you have a great trip!! The SW is my favorite.

I really wish I would've known about this board back in 2007 when we went to WDW. But at least my younger ones will let me make some clothes for them . Mary

I said a few weeks ago that the twins had decided on a "train" birthday party for Isabel; she'll be 2 on Saturday. We've rented a caboose that they have for parties at the Sacramento Railroad Museum. The rental fee includes 12 tickets to ride the excursion train - a 40 minute trip up the Sacramento River.
We didn't exactly want to do Thomas, or the "Two-Two Train" theme (too boyish), so we decided on "The Little Engine That Could". I purchased the books, found party supplies and then...I FOUND FABRIC! It matches the party supplies and book perfectly!
And here's the birthday girl:

She loved the bow on the back and almost tripped herself trying to see the bow while she twirled:

Of course sisters had to have coordinating dresses. Madeline pretty much told me how to make them, "that blue and white stuff for the railroad tracks on the top", and she and Evelyn decided on the bright yellow shirts.

So tomorrow, I make a train cake.

I have much to do this week for friends who are going to DLand...3 little sisters/4 outfits each. I think I'll be busy!

I always fall in love with everything you post. Whatever you have just created is my new favorite!

I love all of them. I'm hoping to go to Seaworld this year, I 'd love to do something like that. Have fun in Vegas.

I think it is so cute that she wanted to see her bow, although I wouldn't want her to fall. I love matching sisters. I'm looking forward to seeing cake/party pictures.

I finished my youngest dd's Easter dress last night. I'm glad to have it finished and she loved it. I sewed Carla's big beautiful bow across the front of the dress, but I'm not sure I like how I attached it. I had to sew it on somehow or my dd would just take it off. It doesn't look bad, but I'm not sure it was the best way to attach it and still be able to tie a good bow in the back. I'll try to get good pic's of it tomorrow, maybe someone will have a suggestion for me.

Opps. Last night I was TRYING to get some work done the girls Easter dresses (I have three days, right) and I sewed on the cuff of Lily's skirt to realize it was on upside down! I was not a happy camper. So I did Emma's skirt and then seamripped out the cuff of Lily's.

I've been loving everything that's been posted but just haven't had time to reply. The navy sent DH away for the week and then he came back yesterday and left today to take our friend's kid hunting. So I am super busy. But I love all the pretty stuff that's been posted.

Man, don't you HATE when that happens! Hopefully you'll do better with fresh, rested eyes today!

Could be worse...... I'm on my way out to buy the rest of the fabric for my daughter's Easter dress!!

She did request a change in style a couple days ago, to which I said "Honey.... there just isn't time..." and she replied "But Mommy... Easter is THREE days away!" She thought that was plenty of time. I guess she's on to how I operate.

 

[angel23321]

Well I went to the Walmart by work yesterday and they were rearranging the fabric department. I asked if they were just rearranging or it was going away. The lady said, that they were still there....for now. She said that you never know that they could change their mind at any time. I keep expecting them to be gone when I go because I only go there for fabric when I'm at work and need something.

I agree that their shoe selection has gotten horrible. I think Target has a much better shoe and clothing selection for the kids.

That's pretty funny!! I keep thinking I need to make my son's birthday shirt, but shoot, his birthday is still two weeks away!

I'd love to see your Easter dress when you're done. I drool over all this cute little girl stuff

Love that she said it's three days away. SO cute. I'm a horrible mommy, I don't let them pick the style or print. They love everything I do and if I had them pick, It would be changing five million times. LOL. I let Emma pick the fabric for her fairy dress for school and that took almost an hour!

Two weeks....... That's a LIFETIME at our house!!

I tend to offer choices, but she's 9, so right between little girl stuff and tween stuff, which is where I become officially LOST. I So as long as she wants traditional stuff, I'm good. Heck by this time next year I might have to go BUY something for Easter.... That's how unsure I am with the tweeny stuff. So this could be our last Daisy Kingdom dress.....

LISA, just wanted to say that I bought your pattern last night. It is sooo cute! Not sure when I'll get to sew because we're redoing my sewing room.
Congratulations on your new venture!
