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

Thanks everyone, for the well wishes and prayers for my mom.

They first discovered the cancer in her lungs. After a second CT scan, we were told yesterday that there is another (large) mass on her colon.
She is 89 years old, and in frail health. She has Parkinson's Disease and Osteoporosis. She's lived a very full life - she is a Christian and believes that Heaven is waiting for her. She's my step-mom but has been married to my dad for 40 years. My birth mother died in an automobile accident when I was 5, so this woman is really the only mom I've known.
Between her and my dad, there are 11 children - I'm the youngest :)
Together they have 29 grandchildren, and I don't know how many great-granchildren she has.
So there's the biography :)

She is opting for no treatment. She's ready to "go home", and my dad is ready to let her go. We've not been given a timeframe yet.

Your prayers are so appreciated - especially for my dad. I can't imagine losing not just one, but TWO spouses in a lifetime. Pray for comfort and peace for him. He wants to take care of her at home as long as he can.

Again, thanks so much!
:hug:
 
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!

:welcome:!!! Did someone PM you the petti info?

Without further ado, Woody and Jessie: (and bullseye, although he's hidden a bit in the pic)

LOVE them...so cute!


Simply gorgeous colors

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.

I second this...she is able to describe her emotions so well but it makes you really feel the pain that she's in


M's a lucky gal!

Hi Kelly and everyone!

I'm Alison and I also live outside of Philadelphia. (Well outside of Philadelphia!) I have been a quilter for almost 15 years but I haven't had a ton of sewing time since having kids. I have two princesses (almost 7 and 4) and a little prince (1). I am used to sewing in two dimensions, so I get a little frustrated when I try clothing (usually costumes). Fortunately, I have a dear friend who used to be an Imagineer who helps me through me darkest sewing hours.

I have enjoyed looking at your projects here and look forward to being wholly inspired by all of you! I actually stumbled here because I want to make a stroller bag to hang on the back of our umbrella stroller for our next trip (in May) but haven't been able to find a pattern that I like. I suppose I could wing it, but that would involve thinking and my brain's busted. :rotfl:

:welcome:

Here is a pic of one I made a few years ago. I did my own thing, but I do remember Simplicity had a pattern style for hanging off the backseat of the car that might work for you.
strollercaddy.jpg


Still mad that I never CASEd you and made one of these before Aisling was out of a stroller!

Then, you called me! :hug: Someday I want to meet you Kristine!

I DID get to talk to you...and chatted away like I talk to you every day of the week :rotfl2:

I'm so bummed we are missing each other again in May :sad2:

*sniff*sniff*

Corey just left and won't be home until Sunday night. He's going to a BPA (Business Professionals of America) competition. I don't think he's ever been away from home this long before!! He tried to sneak out without giving me a hug, but I got him! ;)

We won't find out until Sunday if his team won or not (this is the state competition). I'm so nervous and excited for him!!!:yay::yay::yay::yay::yay:


Is he a Sr. this year?
 
Darla,
So sorry your family is going through this. Your family is in our prayers.

:grouphug:

We are also praying for the little ones who had surgery. May their recoveries be speedy. Good luck with the special instructions the doctors have given you.



I LOVE the Bambi dresses. The appliques are just gorgeous!

The Toy Story outfits are really cute!

All the St. Pat's outfits were nice.
 
You all got me sewing and I have to say that I love it.

Now, I want to make my infant daughter a princess dress (nothing too hard) for our upcoming trip. Any idea where I can get a pattern for a 3-6 month old? Do they even make them that small?

I don't think anyone has answered this yet, but you can "princessfy" one of CarlaC's dress patterns. The simply sweet makes a very cute, Cinderella, Belle or Sleeping Beauty.

Carla C sells on YouCanMakeThis.com , she has a blogspot ScientificSeamstress. She uses a doll for an example, but shows you how you can convert one of her patterns into a princess dress.

This is for Cinderella, but if you look on the left side of the page you can see a tutorial for Belle and Aurora also. I think she used her Simply Sweet pattern.

Joann's can use the sku and check all the stores in the country to see if they have the fabric. I had them do this for me once. I belive the local store checked for me. They may have had to call the corporate office.

Ok, just as a warning...we did this back in Oct because I needed some more fabric for my sister's crib set I was making her for her shower. They looked up all the Joann's in the Miami/Ft Lauderdale/Palm Beach area...which is huge. We drove over an hour to two stores immediately and they did not have any. Finally at the second store they told us that the computer system can take over a week to update the inventory in each store! I will never ever go by that again to drive that distance. Even if you call the store they will only look it up in their computer...I would make sure they have it in hand before I drove next time.

Thanks guys..I had them check, there is none in at least a 2 hour drive and I don't have the time to go do that in the next few weeks. Thanks though.
 
Okay... as promised - here's pictures of my little monkeys, er, princesses. LOL (I know I'm not supposed to say this, but please excuse their messy appearances... they spent ALL day outside today and were a royal mess before bed - when I took their pictures).

Here's my sweet little Hayleigh in the first (and probably last!) pettiskirt I made:

And the action shots:

And here she is modeling her Cinderella swing top (excuse the strap, it's twisted on her, but it's not sewn that way... I didn't notice it until after I took the picture...):

20100318017.jpg


20100318019.jpg


20100318023.jpg


And here is Hayleigh's twin sister, Hannah. Hannah is usually the ham when it comes to posing for pictures, but she was in an "off" mood tonight. This is the best I got out of her tonight... LOL

20100318025.jpg


So thank you all for the warm welcome! Looking forward to getting to know you all better and ooohing and aaahing over your beautiful creations!
 
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

Do you know of any that carry the 2 yd pre cut pieces? That is what I would like to find right now. I am tired of getting the look when I go to walmart to buy fabric (or anywhere for that matter). It is like they don't want to cut it. 2 yds wouldn't work for all but for some it would be wonderful! Buford still has their fabric but it got cut down and I haven't been back to see how much of it it they lost.

Well...I was wrong...there is NO fabrics left in the WalMart at Snellville anymore. Boo Hoo... I was positive I got my fabric there last year...but my daughter said it was Loganville... sorry.

Nini

Good to know for sure. I don't go in that one often since Joanns is so close to them.

Here is a pic of one I made a few years ago. I did my own thing, but I do remember Simplicity had a pattern style for hanging off the backseat of the car that might work for you.
th_strollercaddy.jpg

That was great! It had so many nice little pockets!

Still mad that I never CASEd you and made one of these before Aisling was out of a stroller!

I saw it on the very last trip I took the stroller with us. Otherwise I would have been making one too. Of course, I refuse to get rid of the stroller so you never know. One day I might be making one.

Thanks guys..I had them check, there is none in at least a 2 hour drive and I don't have the time to go do that in the next few weeks. Thanks though.

Was it mainly white? I am too lazy to get up and look at my fabric and it doesn't matter much since I cut it all up already but just wondered. They did not have any more of it last week when I ran by Joanns.

I had the same experience. I think I hugged everyone too! So basically, I was walking up to complete strangers hugging them but really it felt like hugging a long lost friend!

Yep! :thumbsup2 It was wonderful!!
 
Hi Guys!!

Glad the little girls who just had surgery are hanging in there lovin their Grammies!!!

Voted!!

Granna - can you or someone tell me how to do the ruffles on the Vida? Also, is the Vida lined?

Love all that has been posted!! Beautiful colors this time of year!!
 
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...
118.jpg


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...

Soooo cute! I love the Kathy dress, too.

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

Thanks for letting me share these.

OMIGOODNESS!!! GORGEOUS!!! :thumbsup2

HI!!! :wave: 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! :rotfl:

I will definitely keep an eye out for you! And you can be on the lookout for us, too... We're staying at POP. DS will likely be whining to ride Soarin' *just one more time...* ;)

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.

Prayers being said. I can't imagine what Mya's Mom is having to go through, God Bless her.

As requested here is my "Herbie" set

Adorable!

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

Thank you!

Thanks everyone, for the well wishes and prayers for my mom.

Wow, your post made me cry. I'm praying for your Mom and the rest of your family.

:welcome:!!! Did someone PM you the petti info?

Yes, thank you so much!
 
Diz-mommy & livndisney I got your fabric. It will probably be next week before I can get it mailed to you.:cool1:
 
Hi everyone...I posted on the Big give board and here but haven't heard anything, can someone please email/pm me with the shipping info for the yinyanggirls big give? I posted the photo on the other board, but don't know where to send these & I want to make sure they get them in time.
Thanks...Krysta :)
 
Thanks guys..I had them check, there is none in at least a 2 hour drive and I don't have the time to go do that in the next few weeks. Thanks though.

I really do hate that JoAnn's orders so little seasonal fabric any more. I know they don't like having to clearance it out after the holiday, but they really have gone too far the other way!
 
those are gorgeous! I have been intending to make something Bambi for years now!:rotfl:
really cute!

Wow, beautiful! And the colors with the applique are just gorgeous!!!! Great job!

Simply Stunning!!!!

I really love the colors you picked and the applique is beautiful!!!! You really did a fantastic job! :cutie:


*sniff*sniff*

Corey just left and won't be home until Sunday night. He's going to a BPA (Business Professionals of America) competition. I don't think he's ever been away from home this long before!! He tried to sneak out without giving me a hug, but I got him! ;)

We won't find out until Sunday if his team won or not (this is the state competition). I'm so nervous and excited for him!!!:yay::yay::yay::yay::yay:

Done! :thumbsup2

Anita~ Your dresses are gorgeous!

Darla,



I LOVE the Bambi dresses. The appliques are just gorgeous!

Thanks guys. I am really overwhelmed with the compliments. Ya'll are all so fantastic at what you make......I feel priviledged to be a part of such a great group of ladies (and gent). Thanks again. You made my week.

Theresa - Good luck to Corey. That is fantastic that he is going to state.

Welcome from me too! I love the pictures (and the petti). Your DDs are adorable. I love that one has straight hair and the other curly. That would be my wish if I had twins too!! They are so cute!

Thanks guys..I had them check, there is none in at least a 2 hour drive and I don't have the time to go do that in the next few weeks. Thanks though.

Did you post a picture of the fabric? I will check mine tomorrow. I can also check my stash. But not really sure what I am looking for (since my stash wouldn't have a scu number on it).

Hi Guys!!


Granna - can you or someone tell me how to do the ruffles on the Vida? Also, is the Vida lined?
Wendy -for the ruffles, I only put them on the back panel as you can see. I started at the bottom and made it contour to the curve of the pattern (well, I did that on the second one after I learned my lesson on the first). I made the ruffle strips 1.3/4 times the width of the fabric I was sewing it to. Does this help? I kind of just laid it out ("winged" it) as to how many I needed to add depending on the length of the ruffles. I did my strips 4" each. The top ruffle is in the seam between the top piece and middle piece. Hope this helps. Oh, and the only thing that is lined is the there very top bodice piece.
**now you see why I use other peoples patterns and do not attempt to make my own...haha! I don't explain very well**:scared1:

I LOVE that stroller catchall!! I'm gonna have to seek out that pattern!
 
Thanks Anita!! I dont have the real Vida, but I have a similar pattern made by one of our Dis'er friends. I may try the ruffles!! Do you guys think a 7 year old would want them or not - her 3 year old sister will, well, may have them - lol!!

Praying for dear Mya and her family. I just feel so badly for them, it seems to have turned so quickly. Im so happy the trip happend for them!

Cindee - LOVE that stroller organizer!!!!!!! I wish I could make one for Samantha before our trip, but have no idea how to do it!! Daniel's house is full of sickness right now. I guess its so hard when 3 of your siblings go to school all day and bring home lots of germs. We are praying for quick healing and strength for all of them - we only have a month to go!! And, we still have to get together with them. I have 14 Big Give boxes to present to them!!!!!!! Thank you everyone - Im soooo thankful for friends like this!:hug:

Emily is 7 and quite picky about her customs, and loved the ruffles on her Vida.
