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

Quick post with no quotes so please forgive me if I missed anyone. Zoe's off for spring break this week so I have to really limit my time at the computer or I won't get any work done. On top of that, I messed up a fabric order (well actually I didn't place it when I thought so it came later than I'd scheduled) so I'm trying to do some catch up. Zoe and I are also trying to fight off a bug. So far naps have helped me to not feel too awful so I'll try to get Zoe to consider one today. :rotfl:

OK, now to the things my fuzzy brain has retained before I lose even these to comment on:

Ariel gown - GORGEOUS! I love the fabric and the sleeves are amazing!

Cutie Minnie Vida - I love that.

Tessa's rock star outfit - That came out so cute, Heather! I hope Tessa had fun on her birthday.

Bias tape (*toadstool*) - I don't use purchased bias much, either. To me it feels stiffer than 100% cotton so I worry it will be harsh on the skin of the little ones. Believe it or now I made my first skirt (well a dress, actually) with a bias hem this year! I used striped fabric that I also used on the bodice and love the look. I'll definitely do it again but making the bias isn't my favorite activity.

Ugh, I know I had more but my brain isn't cooperating. I'll try to review the last few pages tonight and catch a few more.
 
:woohoo:It is pouring here today so I think I might wait to get them til tomorrow.

I think you would need 4 different disneymovierewards accounts to get all 4 free tickets. The way it is worded it sounds like you'll only get one ticket even if you buy both toy story & toy story 2.:confused:

I was able to print a ticket from one copy of TS 1 and one from TS2. The other 2 are DD's and she will have to go into her DMR account to print hers.
 
I wanted to thank the person on this board who sent my Dad and boys a postcard from Hawaii. You made their day! My Samuel actually took the postcard to school today to share. :) Thanks again!

I ordered my outfits from etsy.com and I am SUPER excited to seeing the product :D

I will post pictures.

I got the new simplicity bias tape maker last year for my birthday and it is incredible! You cut the fabric and roll it on, the machine does the rest. I make coordinatingbias tape for almost all of Daisy's clothes and you can buy different adapters to make different widths. I love it!
 
Heather...i swear Tessa looks like she got older overnight! How did that happen?!?! Love the outfits!! Glad she got lots of compliments...she deserved them! I can't believe you went to CEC on a Saturday...are you crazy?



Love all the stuff this weekend. I almost freaked when I looked at my ticker today! :scared1: I have a lot ofsewing to do! I hope tomorrow goes smooth and I can do some sewing this week. I all of a sudden today am a nervous wreck! I have been fine up until today and now I can't get it out of my mind! I just called and I have to be there at 7:45am...really...why so early? I told DH I have to take the kids to school so he has to help me get them ready tomorrow. Now I have to give him the morning routine...it's amazing what you do for so long and don't think about it then you have to tell someone else everything...my kids are routine kids.

Well, I 'm of to CVS to get my pain meds filled and then I need some new socks...I have to have nice warm socks for tomorrow. Have a great day guys and I will check in later this week! Keep those prayers coming!:goodvibes

Good Luck tomorrow! We will all be thinking about you!:hug:

Tell me more about this thing. Is it a separate beast or does it attach to a sewing machine?
 
Hi ladies (and Tom)! So I finally got some new fabric (like I need it) to make Peach's Easter dress and some for her friends birthday dress.

BUT now I have a hard one...On the 26th Peach is dress like a Celeb day at school. Georgia wants to look like Taylor Swift. I know what to do with her hair. Im gonna straighten it (I KNOW!) and then give it those loose wide ringlet curls. But its the clothing. What would you do for Taylor Swift? She has boots to wear. I am wondering if she can bring her guitar to school. I think I will hit up a few thrift stores in the area to alter some clothing. But what should I look for? any suggestions? Please. Thanks girls.

It in a separate machine. It sits next to my bobbin winder. You wind your strip onto a spool, feed it through the adapter and over the hotplate. Then you hit the "run" button and it feeds the fabric over the hotplate. Out comes single fold bias tape. If you want double fold, all you have to do is iron it in half. The bias tape maker is around $100 and you can buy it at Joanns. To see more info go to Simplicity's website. Worth every penny!
 
Phew, I finally got all caught up on this thread. (nothing like a 6 hour wait in an airport that has free WiFi)

Actually, today I am at my desk, but on Sunday i had that long wait at the Fort Lauderdale airport on my way home from our Cruise. We had a great time and the weather was awesome.

Great stuff has been posted in the past week, prayers being said for those who asked.

Well, gotta get off this site now and get some work done. Lots to do here at the office after being off, and lots of sewing to get done at home too.
 
Hi there!! I've been a lurker of this thread oh, since part 2 or 3 and I finally have a little girl to some sewing for. I am currently working on her first pair of easy fits and as I was about to start cutting out, I realized that these are probably sized for kids who wear disposable diapers. Has anyone made them for a child who wears cloth diapers? Does it run true to size even in cloth? If not, how much did you go up?

Thanks ladies and I promise to post more often. You are absolutely inspiring!!

As a matter of fact he did. Thanks! I am sorry I haven't posted thanks to everyone individually. The stomach bug and stomach flu hit our house hard for the last two weeks, and I am just now getting things in order again.

I use cloth diapers with our current little one. I would recommend going up one size and just cinching in the elastic waist to fit. I find I have to go up a size in store bought clothes too.

Thanks Stacey! I was thinking you were CDing your little one so I was hoping you would see my question! I have found it's hit or miss for Aileen on store bought clothing but would hate for these to be useless as soon as I was done!

What about cowboy boots a denim skirt and a plaid top for Taylor swift?

I read this was how it working on another thread too. That is great! I wanted to upgrade to blu ray and with the $10 coupons and movie tickets you can do it for essentially free!:banana:
