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

[tricia]

Soooo here is how I spent my last 24hours! I have to share.

After being up all night with my DD (who had a fever of 102.4), I took her to the Doctors. Who sent her to get some x-rays later this after noon.

So why waitng for the x-rays to come back to see if it was Pneumonia ( which it truned out to be), She asked to watch Mary Poppins for the 100th time. I of course told her yes, then she chimes in and asks if she can watch it in her new Mary Poppins costume??
Which was not finished yet!
Sooooooooooo I told her she should watch mary poppins twice and by the 2nd time i would have her Mary poppins costume finished!
I rushed home and began putting the finishing touches on the dress and hat.
I finished a little late, but the smile on her face was worth it. It was the 1st and only one today!
Here is a pic.

I worked really hard on the back of the dress and
I will add more pics after my DD is feeling better.

Gorgeous dress. I hope she feels better soon.

Another picture of my Belle gown (hope I'm not boring you), now with the hoop skirt underneath. (I can't believe how fast it came!) The dress is still not completely finished, but I think it looks much better with the hoop!

Also a disney princess Kyoko top I finished tonight using some fat quarters I had been saving for a while. It's my first try at this pattern, and I wanted to make due with materials I had on hand. Not sure I made the best fabric choice for this style top.

That pattern was obviously designed to have something under it. Takes it to a whole new level with the hoope skirt, just beautiful.

HELP!!

I want to finish this Vida tonight.

I want to put a tulle tutu on the frog. Should I finish the ends of the tulle? or will tulle not fray?

I know nothing about tulle, but what a cute idea.

This may be an odd question for here - but I am looking for something like a second seat or buggy board that is comfortable for parents without kicking it while puhsing the stroller. DO they make such a product. I have a used buggy board but the straps do not fit my BJ stroller so I can't use that. I tried rigging it and it sorta worked but I would still kick it. DO they make something that is not directly between you & the stroller?

Hi all! Just popping in becaue they may be all I can stay awake! Pain meds are good!

Surgery went well yesterday...I did fall right asleep...twilight my tail! But it seemed to go really quickly. The DR said he is pretty sire it is not cancer......but we are waiting on test results just to make sure.

DH took lots of blackmail photos of me while I was coming out of the surgery...I'll get him later for that!

Talk to you all again soon...when I'm not under the influence!

Glad you are doing OK. Thanks for the update even under the influence.

My attempt at the emma. I changed it though. Kind of a emma and feliz crossed.

I tried my first t-shirt embroidery, messed it up even though you can't tell yet.

So cute! Especially love the peter pan top!

This is the twirl skirt I made for my daughter. She like the minnie dot I made for her friend, so I told her I would make her one too. She picked the fabric.

I wasn't overjoyed with the t shirt, but I needed to cover the hole. She liked it, so I guess that's all that matters.

Look how dead our yard is. I don't think spring is ever going to come to my neighborhood.

I must be photobucket illiterate. My pictures are always too big or too small. Sorry.

I think it looks great!

Ok girls, my turn to share my sewing stylings (feel free to yawn)- I haven't slept much this week, but I think I got everything done that needed to be...
First, my first Carly bubble- the directions were as clear as they could be, but I sometimes had to reread a few things- I think the next one will go well, though-

other side (no idea why it suddenly turned sideways- I took them the same way)

Then I had to do matching outfits for all 4 kids- I tried to use dress patterns the girls could wear as long as possible. These are the whimsy couture bow twirl dress:


Then I made some more baby things:
The ragazza bella bath apron, a changing mat (I'll have to look up the pattern designer, but it's from YCMT- one side is fleece and the other marine vinyl), and two flannel burpies using the free YCMT pattern:

close up of the burpies:


finally, another set of dresses for the girls- this time Carla's Cathy dress:


ok, I'm tired now- gotta go back to work.

 

[teresajoy]

THIS is what I usually do with t-shirts. I have Carla's raglan pattern and it is really easy. I think you could try it the way you are suggesting too. Maybe try with another t-shirt first.

I love those adorable little girly dresses you made with the t-shirts! I keep thinking I'll try that, but I haven't yet!

So, evidently Google no longer likes ANY Disney site! Each and every time I click on Disboards, TGM, Passporter, even the Disney Site, I get a warning that this site will harm my computer!!!! (if it read harm my wallet, I would believe it!) I have researched and researched. and reloaded my virus software, and the only incident is a comlpaint that was filled once in the last 90 days that a pop up window appeared and was not stopped by the person's pop up blocker! Sheesh!

Google has told me that until the administrator of these sites tell Google that they are not harmful, it will keep happening. Or, I can wait 90 days and then it will fall off naturally...

Or I could use a different web browser... I do believe Chrome is quickly becoming my least favorite browser...

Now, back to your regularly scheduled discussion....


btw...Beautiful stuff!

I tried to like Chrome, but I just didn't!

Kim, it's so nice to hear from you! I'm glad things went so well. Get some rest!

I love the Emma! It turned out so pretty!

Well I guess you haven't lived until you have fished half and M&M out of your son's nose. While I was cooking dinner, James came into the kitchen crying, and he has bright yellow discharge coming from his nose. I finally pieced together he had an M&M up his nose. Luckily, it was only half of one, and all the crying helped soften it up so it started coming out. I don't think he'll be doing that again. Just thought I'd share a glimpse of time at my house.

Dawn

Oh no!

My SN DS8 likes to put beads in his ear....each and every one requires a visit to the ER. The last time it required a round of antibiotics, because before he told me he tried to get it out with a ...fork! I have thrown away all the seed beads I can find....but he is still finding them!

A fork!!!!!!!!!!!!??!!

On a sidenote, I've never heard of so many people using cloth diapers. I don't know anyone that used them. Is it more popular than it used to be My youngest is 4. I can barely keep laundry done as it is, I can't imagine adding a bunch of diapers to the mix.

I used cloth exclusively with my oldest. It really wasn't hard at all.

This is the twirl skirt I made for my daughter. She like the minnie dot I made for her friend, so I told her I would make her one too. She picked the fabric.

I wasn't overjoyed with the t shirt, but I needed to cover the hole. She liked it, so I guess that's all that matters.

I must be photobucket illiterate. My pictures are always too big or too small. Sorry.

I love the skirt!! It is beautiful! And, your pictre is the perfect size!

I'm sorry they didn't win, but I;m glad he's taking it well. It's so hard when you work that hard for something & then don't win.

Thank you. He really wishes they would have shared the score sheets (he had a fancy name for them that I can't think of!) so they would know just what they did wrong, but the only thing they got is one comment from one judge. And, that didn't say much. I guess they will never know what happened.

I'm sorry she is sick! I hope she gets better real soon.

This dress is amazing!!! It's just gorgeous! And, your daughter looks so pretty. That smile is just so sweet! and those little toes!!!

WOWZA!!!!! Holy COW!!! That is just gorgeous!!!
The Kyoko top turned out so pretty too!

Glad to hear it went well. I hope you feel better soon.


My 2 ¢ is that I wouldn't want to pay that much for dinner at CRT. It's still rushed and cafeteria(ish) food and if I'm spending $45 (or more) on an entrée I want a glass of wine to enjoy with it. I would opt for HDDR because the show justifies the price to me. I do really enjoy breakfast at CRT. I think the kids enjoy either.


I think it looks great! I like the colors and don't see any mistakes.



This reminds me of when we were kids and for whatever reason my cousins decided to have a contest to see how many red hots they could get into each nostril. My Aunt couldn't get them all out and all they could do was wait for them to melt! It's funny now but back then we weren't laughing!


Gorgeous!!!! I hope your DD feels better soon.

Oh my goodness!!! RED HOTS????

 

[busy mommy]

There is an iron on interfacing that is really soft. If Kirsta complains of something being itchy, I put a peice over the back. It usually hangs on long enough to be washed a few times. I either reiron it, or peel it off. By that time, the embroidery should be soft enough.

Thank you very much. I will try this out.

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

Love all of the things you made. Where did you get that cowboy fabric? My DD3 would love that. In fact, she says she wants to be a cowboy when she grows up.

I had my call in date for my ADR's this morning. I was able to make all of them online within like 20 minutes and it was so easy. I got everything I wanted within 5-10 minutes of the times I typed in. I never even had to call the dining line. I kept worrying something was wrong because it just seemed too easy! Now hopefully we can just save up the money for our trip so we can go.

Wow, you've been busy!!! So cute! Tomorrow is Western Day at DD4's preschool so today I need to finish up her cowgirl outfit. She has been wanting to be a "pink cowgirl" for quite a while now!

 

[ellenbenny]

Thank you


You couldn't bore me with Belle. That dress is amazing. And I love the Kyoko top. It is so cute it makes me want to get that pattern. My kids are always untying things, if they untied it, would it fall off?

The top wouldn't fall off, you could wear the top without the obi, but the obi would fall off if you untied it.

PLease helpme. I have been a lurker for a long time and love everyone's designs. I have a sewing machine and want to start making my DD5 some clothing. I am inexperienced and need guidence. I have only made a pillow for our dog. What is the best thing to make for my first time? and should I get patterns and if so, which ones are the easiest?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Just a quick hi!
I am back from our trip to visit my Father..I was thinking I would do a non-disney trip report.

I am trying to clean up a bit. hannah has been whiney and cranky all morning, she is finally napping!

I am doing some Spring cleaning...

Anyone know where I can sell used cloth diapers these days? I know ebay no longer allows it....
I had a lot from Megan, but Im not CDing Hannah, so its time to purge my stash.

Is there a website that sells WDW merchandise? I want some things for Megan's birthday..

 

[Diz-Mommy]

I am an RN in a kids ER. Can I tell you how many kids we see that have put something up their nose? Polly pocket shoes/gloves, hot wheels tires are pretty common as are beads, candy and peas. But I LOVE the red hot story! My fav was when a little one put a rhinestone ( the half ones that you put on shirts or jackets) about nickel size up there ----Me: "how did it get up there?" her: "i don't know. I threw it away and it jumped out of the trash can and up my nose"

MAN!! I hate it when I throw something away and it jumps up into my nose!! That's a good one!!

My son put one of those small Sandylion stickers up his nose once (a Disney sticker mind you) both nostrils were bleeding from his attempts to dig it out and so I couldn't tell where to start my search. I asked him "which one is it in?" and he says "a Daisy one" as in Daisy Duck Anyhow, a high powered flashlight and a set of tweezers later, I found the right nostril and Daisy was rescued.

The scary part is when you go digging, you're afraid the kid is either gonna get scared and snarf it up into his lungs, or you're going to push it up farther. I must agree the up the nose stuff seems to be a right of passage...for kids and parents!

Without a doubt I vote for anything by Carla C from You Can Make This .com (without the spaces of course!) My 8 year old daughter made her first dress for my grand daughter's birthday last year. It was an Aline. I had to help with the buttons and buttonholes (only because that required my new machine and I don't trust her on that yet! LOL), but she did the rest herself. My DIL has also started with that pattern and is now branching out to other patterns.

The most important thing is to have nice easy directions. (another point for Carla C)

Some people swear by starting with pillowcase dresses, but I find, while they are easy, the finished result is not as nice as the dresses you get when you use a good pattern.

Then I would branch out to almost anything Carla C makes! Easy fits for some nice pants or shorts, paired with the Simply Sweet as a top for the summer.....I could go on and on (as I usually do!) but just look for Carla C on YCMT and you won't be disappointed. And before you say anything about the pattern price...remember, you get ALL the sizes and a million variations. Years from now you will STILL be using these patterns...I PROMISE!!!

I'm glad you got to see your dad. I hope it was a great visit for you all. Maybe you can sell the cloth diapers on Craigslist? Disney shopping.com now carries some park merchandise, but if you know exactly what you are looking for you can call disney world merchandise by mail & they will find your items and ship them to you. Their shipping is pretty steep though.

That turned out really cute!! You're whipping out those skirts!

 

[ncmomof2]

I have been lurking, seeing all the wonderful stuff everyone has been making. Having my fourth has made life a little more interesting!! I am about to make our dining reservations for our Sept trip so I am starting to think about what I will be sewing for the girls! I am very excited. Right now I am working on some dresses for a friend who is going in May. She has been allowing me to borrow her disney embroidery machine (the wally one from a few years back) so I am doing it as a thanks. She is providing the fabric. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has used disney fabrics or colors for Carla's new dress pattern. I am trying to figure out what would work best. Any suggestions?

Hopefully I will be on here more regularly. I have missed my sewing fix!!

I would start with the Easy Fit pants from www.youcanmakethis.com I have to admit I wasn't sure I really wanted to pay $10 for a simple pant pattern when you can find patterns on sale for about $1 at JoAnns. BUT...this is WAY more than a simple pant pattern. It teaches you sewing skills you can apply to other projects. And I think more importantly you get great results so that increases your confidence so that you want to try other things. If you start with say PJ bottoms then you can go into it thinking it is "just PJ's". Taking away some of the pressure for it to be perfect helped me. Then when I was finished my DD who was 8 at the time says to me "Mommy, how to you get them to look so real?" I guess I did OK.

You might want to think about Carla's bundle with the peasant top/dress and the stripwork dress/top, along with the pants. All of them are awesome! The peasant can have long or short sleeves too. And you save some with the bundle. Also, start with cheap fabric that you don't care if you mess up. That way you can gain your confidence without frustration yourself!

Happy sewing!
