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

[mgmsmommy]

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 so beautiful! Love the spring colors

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!

I know I've been in Scenic Hwy since June...our trip was in September, and I bought some Winnie the Pooh fabric from there for the trip. Now I'll have to double check. We are heading out that way later this morning for therapy, so if my GD2 cooperates we might take a side trip there to make sure. I know our district manager assured us we would not be loosing our fabrics for at least 12 months...(but I'm beginning to think district managers are like the government....you NEVER know when they are going to be over ruled!)

Love them, love them, love them. The colors are great. What size are they? I'm scared that my applique will look too big.

I have to get cutting om my vida. I have everything lined up, but DS has school today & tomorrow. Maybe I will have some time Saturday.

HMMMMMMMMMM...DS does just have test today.....wonder if I could sneak a few snips & stitches in w/ school.

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

I'm so sorry your having to go through this. I hope treatments work for her & you have many more years together. I'll be praying for you.



Nini- I can't imagine keeping a 2 yo that still. Good luck.

 

[livndisney]

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.

 

[Granna4679]

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

WOW!!!! These are great!

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

WOW!!!! Those are just beautiful!!!!

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

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

Wow so beautiful! Love the spring colors

Love them, love them, love them. The colors are great. What size are they? I'm scared that my applique will look too big.

I have to get cutting om my vida. I have everything lined up, but DS has school today & tomorrow. Maybe I will have some time Saturday.

Thanks EVERYONE!! I reaaaaallly appreciate all of the comments and compliments!! They were fun to make but wow....I think I will make something without ruffles on my next project. I have made 6 outfits in a row with LOTS of ruffles.

littlepeppers...they are size 3 and 5. I am worried that the 3 will be a tad bit too long. I did the applique first and then couldn't really cut it down anymore, but oh well, she will be able to wear it for awhile!!

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.

Still praying for them!!

Ah pooie! I had my reply all typed out and when I tried to post it, this silly site decided to log me out! And, now I'm too tired to remember everything I wanted to say!

Someday I will be able to stay logged in for more than 10 minutes at a time.

I've been having trouble too, except it boots me out of the website telling me the link is broken! In fact Heather PM'd me a few days and everyone time I try to reply back to her, it kicks me out! Sorry Heather!

You can also get the discount if you home school!



Nini

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?

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.......

I wanted to see if I could case those too! I love them! Your girls are adorable!

These are beautiful! Great job!

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

We have to make our ADR's soon. I have even thought about it yet. We usually do a bunch of the same character meals, but would like to do something new and fun. We have never done Hoop De Doo. What can you tell me about it? Is it worth it? Is it 1 or 2 TS credits? Any other recommendations of fun places to eat? I have 2 DD's ages 3 and 5.

 

[soccermomof3]

Where can I find the black mickey head to applique?

Thanks!

In Georgia all I needed was a copy of my letter of intent. I have been doing it for 3 years now, so I can't remember exactly how I did it to start, but I just have to go in to get it renewed. If I am not mistaken, there was a form to fill out online. I remember I had to wait a few days for the approval to come through. But I really think I read somewhere that you could sign up at the store.

And YES, the discount is on everything. I had a discussion with the store manager about if I was cheating or not...she said it is their way to show appreciation to those who teach, not just for school supplies.

My kids are regulars there. We go in at least once a week. They all know my kids and ask them what we are studying...(we are working really hard on social skills for DS, and he actually talks back to them now.)

(and no...I can NOT answer a question short! only LONG!)

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.

 

[princesskayla]

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

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)

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...

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?

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!

Nini

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.

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

The Toy Story outfits are great. I love the Bullseye on the shorts. Your Cathy dress is very nice too.

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

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!

How fun, I bet all the girls want one .

What a great idea for a Herbie outfit. It looks so cute.

Hoping my login issues are still fixed!

So everyone who is eligible probably knows this already, but I'm going to share because I had no idea. . .

Teachers get 15% off at JoAnn's. All you need is either your badge or a current paystub. I am not a teacher, but I did still get the discount - I just showed my paystub which of course has the school district name on it and it worked for me! Now, before anyone gets on to me about using a discount meant for teachers - let me say that I have bought fabric with the intention of making lightweight blankets for my health rooms and I also do "bulletin boards" on the doors to my health rooms.

Anyway, thought I should share just in case someone could use the discount. . .

You can also get the discount if you home school!


It is my daughters favorite place to do her school shopping!


Which reminds me...she is definitely showing signs of wanting to design. Does anyone know of some good design classes for a 9 year old? I home school her brother full time (year round) and home school her part time (mainly during the summer) I am looking for some fun stuff for her to do during school time this summer. I am crafty but not very artistic or design savy. All of the curriculum I cam find is geared more towards older kids...


Nini

The manager at our store is kinda grouchy and when I lost my passport holder and all things inside including my discount card she made me get both ID and paycheck stub. DH works for the school system so I had to go get him, then she gave him a hard time because he is IT not home ec. But in the end we got our discount card. Hancocks also has a discount card for teachers but only on regular priced things.

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!

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

I just wanted to say Welcome to the group, there are so many wonderfully talent women and Tom here.

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

Darla,
I sure do pray for peace for your mom and your family, cancer is such a terrible disease! I am happy for you to get support from the group of virtual friends.
