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

[*Wish*Upon*A*Star*]

Hello! Can I join you guys?? I've been lurking for quite some time and LOVE everything that's been posted lately! I'm a fairly new sewer (in fact, I was inspired to learn by you all for our trip to Disney World last December...). I have twin girls (2 1/2) and a boy (4) who LOVE when I sew customs for them... I recently purchased an embroidery machine (Brother PE-770) and AM loving it!

My most recent project was an Emma top (man, is that pattern confusing or what??? Or maybe it's just me???). Prior to that, I did a pettiskirt, and let me add to everyone else's sentiments -- never again! LOL I have enough chiffon to make another one (kinda have to with twins... LOL) but I think I might "cheat" and buy one instead... can someone PM me with info for Teresa????

We're looking forward to our upcoming trip in May and I'm so excited to be sewing halter dresses and other "summery" outfits. I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow (or tonight if I can find some pictures... unfortunately, DH just wiped my laptop and all of our files are on our backup drive...)

Oh - and can anyone point me in the direction to the Disboutiquer group on facebook? Thanks!

 

[McDuck]

All caught up, finally! Y'all were busy in the day and a half I was gone. LOL

Love all the outfits and praying for all the needs mentioned. Glad the little ones' surgeries went well and praying for recoveries. Can't wait for next week when this yard sale is behind me and I can SEW!

Just type in disoutiquers in the search window. Our group should pop up.

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...

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

Very cute! I love the "street" pose! It is exciting to be case'd. I am blushing.

off to make a dolly nightgown for PJ day at preschool tomorrow and maybe an appliqued scrub top - can't decide what to do though.......

 

[Granna4679]

I toy with the idea of making a petti for Hannah - she would LOVE something like that! I just cant spend the money to get a real one for her. I did get some nylon chiffon really cheap when a walmart was closing - but its still in the bag!!!! If anyone has outgrown one let me know!!! Hannah is a 3/4 (and eliz is an 8)!!!

Wendy - do you have a Marshalls store near you? They have lots of pettis right now at ours. They aren't super full or anything but they are only $7.99.
Great for play and the effect under a skirt, but probably wouldn't hold a skirt out too far.

Nicole - love the Toy Story outfits. They look sooo cute. Too bad they didn't get to wear them to the rodeo. And I like the raggy bows too. I need to learn to make those. My DGDs would love them.

Don't you love the "Cathy" top/dress? I have made a couple now for Big Gives....so easy and soooooo cute when finished.

off to make a dolly nightgown for PJ day at preschool tomorrow and maybe an appliqued scrub top - can't decide what to do though.......

You do know it is after 11:00 p.m. your time, right???? Yipes....and you are just going to start something? Mine would turn out upside down and backwards if I tried that.

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.

Wow- these are fabulous! I refuse to thumbnail them, they are too beautiful to be downsized

I work Night shift 7p-7a - dolly will only take me a little bit - but I already decided not to do the scrub top tonight.

 

[LisaZoe]

Don't feel bad Lisa, Gianna is the same as Zoe. She will barely tolerate wearing my customs in WDW. The other day she told me..."Mom, you know you don't have to wear custom clothes in Disney World, other people wear normal things" to which I replied...." you know what you call them...losers!" Not my proudest Mommy moment, but a boutique mommy can only take so much!

Who wants to be normal? I've always enjoyed being weird.

My GD2 went to the surgeon today for a 10 day check of the foot. Now, you have to know that she is a VERY active little girl. As soon as the pain went away, she was off and crawling. Yes, the cast is all the way to her hip, but she figured out a way to slide around on the floor to get where she wanted to go.

Then, a day or so ago, she figured out how to WALK with the cast. Enough of her hip is free that it didn't take her long to figure it out! She is now running and jumping with the cast!

Let's just say tht the surgeon isn't all that excited about that idea! In fact, we have been given strict orders to NOT let her walk, or crawl, or do anything except SIT!! This is not going to be fun. Twelve more weeks of this....I am going to REALLY need a vacation after this!

Oh my gosh, does he seriously think you can keep a child from walking or crawling without restraints?

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

One thing that occurs to me is your local friends may want to talk to you in person or at least on the phone rather than online. We're all used to expressing things through posts, PMs and email since we don't see each other face to face but I think people who talk on the phone or get together may think an email is impersonal.

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

The outfits are so cute but your son's 'street' pose cracked me up!

That came out so cute! I love the fabrics you used. They are so perfect for spring.

I wasn't marked as shipped for YinYanggirls. Sorry I didn't check until just now. They did get the shirts because they posted pics.

Thanks for pointing that out Kristine! I got you marked as shipped now!

Have these doctors never met a child

Heather was a "busy" child! She looked so cute in her cast!

HI!!! It looks like we will be at Disney the same time!!! If you see me, please shout!!! I love meeting Disers!

Lydia wore her pettiskirt to pick up Arminda at school and Corey from work today. She was the HIT of the middle school!!! All the girls kept coming up to her telling her how cute she was! I had to agree! She was pretty adorable!

I've already asked on the Big Give board but I'll post here too....I need the address. Also how do you all usually present the items?

thanks!

I just sent it.
You can present them however you like. I'm always running behind, so I usually just stick them in the envelope and mail them!

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

I love the Jessie and Bullseye outfits!!!!

And, your daughter's Cathy and Lydia's Cathy are both made out of Casey Scroll! Lydia's is pink (like in Anita's Vida in the next post). I'm so sad they discontinued that. But, the Nancy from the So St.Croix line has a similar look.

Anyway, I love your Cathy!!

Granna...the vidas are so pretty. I love the fabric.

Ireland Nicole......the outfits are so cute!


Teresa.... thank you!

 

[lovesdumbo]

It looks like we will be at Disney the same time!!! If you see me, please shout!!! I love meeting Disers!

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.

 

[minnie2]

I love this skirt and the way the stripes curve.

Thanks!

I wish I could find a walmart with fabric like this! There are 10 walmarts within 60 miles easily!! Why have I not seen any yet!



I agree! I never even once thought about how we hadn't known each other for years and that was our first meeting! That was one of my favorites parts of that trip. I also really enjoyed going to the Boardwalk with Steph and Downtown Disney! Thanks for inviting me. We will have to do it again. Up for Disneyland in October???

Jessica, my Girlfriend in Lawrenceville said the Logonville WalMart still has fabric. I think she was just there last week. I used to go to the one in Snellville it had a great fabric department.

LOVE all the new stuff!

I love all of your outfits! The Toy Story ones are nothing but precious! Did you do the appliques or did you do them in the hoop? If you did them in the hoop, would you mind sharing where you purchased them? My sons are big Woody and Bullseye fans, and they going nuts about your son's outfit.

Wow! Those are absolutely fabulous! Your granddaughters are two very lucky girls to have such a talented grandmother. Please post pictures of them on Easter because the only way those dresses could look any better would be by being worn by those two precious little girls

Yup...Snellville, Loganville, and Monroe all still have fabric...at least as of the last time I went in there. I stopped going into Snellville because there is always a parking problem! I do all my fabric shopping the first of the month...and everytime I go to Walmart, I ALWAYS check out the fabric. Mainly just to make sure it is still there! LOL!

Snellville on Scenic HWY doesn't anymore at least as of last June when I was there. Did they bring it back? Or does the one on Sugerloaf have it now?
I remember when that walmart opened!
