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

[aksunshine]

See?!?! Behin already! So sorry if I missed something. You have all been busy! Thank you everyone for the kind words and thoughts for all of our imprtant dates coming up.

We can't wait for the new Toy Story to come out!! Of course I had to make a littke something for Em. OF course she insisted ona set for hed Chrissa doll I hope to get a set made for Little Man too.

SO CUTE!!!!! Isabelle would look adoreable in this. Unfortunately, I can't sit at my machine too long. My hips and pelvis rebel!

Nicole, I'm praying for your Dad.

I finally finished my Tiana gown. It took WAY longer than I expected, but here goes:

Those of you heading for Disneyland soon....... I need reconnaissance from the field on Tiana and Naveen! I assume they are still appearing for meet & greets in New Orleans square, but would like to confirm that before we go the first week of June!

GORGEOUS Janet!!!!

I made this Minnie outfit that was going to be for DGD, but I think I made it too big. Oh well, maybe it will go in my Etsy shop. I can have her try it on to see if it will be close or way too wide. And the mannequin is a little too small for it too.

I went by the size for the simply sweet, but by measurements I should have made a smaller size. I haven't used that pattern in a while and I guess I forgot.

Also wanted to share pics of DGD using the apron and chef's hat I made her for Xmas. I don't often get to see her in the things I make so I was thrilled when we were visiting the other night and she wanted to wear the hat and apron and 'take our order'. Too cute!

So cute! She looks like she is having fun "mixing".

Levi and Sawyer's birthdays are a month apart. I think of Levi often. I'm glad his stone is finally going to be in place soon.

Awww, same year too? He is such a cutie! I was looking at the photobucket account at boys things yesterday. Lots of Sawyer on there. BTW, Matt and I had serious issues picking a boy name and Sawyer, as well as Ronin, were names I really liked!

LOVE THIS!


Teresa- love the pics of you 2 in pettis, and the new hair is cute! I saw her petti-dancing on FB and thats what got me thinking about a new one for Megan.


Oh- the SB dress is divine!!


Have you ever had one of those rotten, no good, stressed out, no sleep, kinda days? Yeah, thats me today. I had about 3 hours of sleep last night.

anywho...

On a light note. Today is Megan's 4th Birthday!
here she is, born around 9pm 4 years ago....

and now...

I made her a Tshirt this morning with heathersue's "Birthday Girl" on the back and a Sleeping Beauty cutie on the front...so cute!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGAN!!!!!!!

Well I read a lot but don't post much.

I love the Cinderella dress

The pictures with the petties are so funny

I have been busy trying to finish several projects.

I make my first vida. I have had the peaces cut out for a month and had been afraid to cut out the center panel. I new if I messed up cutting the panel I wouldn't be able to do what I wanted with the front.

The front

I love this picture of Ash trying to take a picture while I was taking her picture.

Impressive! I would love to make a Vida, but I hate to invest in the pattern with Isabelle getting so big. She'll be 8 on Sunday!

Here is my first bucket hat--I made a few boo-boos, now I'm making 2 more. The patchwork side has Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Daisy, & Donald on it--the reverse side has Mickey & Minnie on the top.

I also made some burp rags (my first attempt!) for a friend's baby shower:

I just noticed my child has food all over her face--please excuse this! LOL

Very cute!!!!

Congratulations to you!!! I was just thinking about you a couple weeks ago and wondering how you were doing.

Thanks! It is a trying time, but I am managing!!!

Morning all! It has been ages since I posted!

Love the Tiana dress so pretty!

Wow Carla and Jennifer that is WONDERFUL!!!!

Leslie, Oh my that Toy story out fit is so great!

Shannon the peasant dress it is perfect! I love that pattern it is so easy! It is almost impossible to make a mistake. Well I feel that way about all of Carla's patterns!

I actually sewed something! I saw a ruffled Vera Bradley purse I loved and kept thinking I could make that! So I did! No real pattern. I did have a basic shape I liked from a pattern and I have made several purses before so I just kind of made it up as I went along. I used some GORGEOUS SiSboom St Croix fabric! And a few other fabrics from SiSboom. I had 2 sweet friends send me some that had

I am not sure I ever posted my Tailored Totes I made
the monkey one is for Kyle, Tink for Nikki and the Black one is for my mom.

I also don't think I posted my Marlo top Pictures
I made this one from a knit material. So comfy!

Pretty Sisboom fabric!

Some of you may not be aware that Carla is putting some of her most popular patterns out in paper form!!!! I am so EXCITED for her!!!!

Those purses are so cute!!!! I love those Marlo tops. I would love to make more for ME, but I always get the chest area wrong. Darts are torture!!!! This looks forgiving in that area!


Congrats Carla and Jennifer!!!!!!

Alright girls, where do I go to buy Carla's patterns these days? I know she has her own site now.

Thanks! There are no darts and it is a super fast sew! It is roomy too IMO. Of course I am a tad partial to that top since well it is my name sake!

The Minnie outfit is too cute. Love the pics of her taking orders.

That is very beautiful. I was envying the tiny waist too, then I remembered it was for your daughter, and there is no way a woman my age should have the waist of a 9 year old, so that made me feel better.

We can't wait for the new Toy Story to come out!! Of course I had to make a littke something for Em. OF course she insisted ona set for hed Chrissa doll I hope to get a set made for Little Man too.

That is really cute. Gotta love twirl skirts, they are so much fun. So cool that you made the matching one for her doll.

Great bag. The Marlos look good too. cool idea to do it with a knit.

BUMP

Hi! Just bumping this for you - everyone here is so helpful and I know that someone has an answer for you - but sometimes questions can get lost among all the beautiful creations! Congrats on getting chosen for a Wish trip!

Thank you, I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Beautiful creations, definitely. I come to this thread and just dream, and admire and dream some more.

I found them on the Big Give Site (at least I think this is what you are looking for):
http://s3.excoboard.com/DisBigGive/54629/710787

thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! I looked over there and can't imagine how I missed this. Yes, I do, I looked in the wrong place. Thank you very much for posting the link for me. I knew this was the right place to ask for help.

Nicole, prayers for your dad and you too.


Got an A-Line and a pair of easy fits finished off last night.

Side one

[Eyore4Ever149]

I set my alarm 1hr 15 before DS's goes off for uninterupted time. I ususally use it to get on the DISboards or sew. I feel your pain.

I wish I could do this, but right now Megan gets up at like 6-7am, too early for me to get up before her. But I try to take advantage of the days Hannah DOES nap- I am right there with the 2 of you and feel your pain!!!

I finally finished my Tiana gown. It took WAY longer than I expected, but here goes:

sissssluuuurp...oh, EXCUSE me- I didn't realize I was drooling. Good thing it's a laptop and not the actual dress.
WOW!!!!!! WOW!!! WOW!!!!!!!

We can't wait for the new Toy Story to come out!! Of course I had to make a littke something for Em. OF course she insisted ona set for hed Chrissa doll I hope to get a set made for Little Man too.

Adorable!

Sisboom's Sophie Tunic is mentioned in Sew Beautiful magazine this issue. Congrats to Carla and Jennifer. You're not famous in the sewing world until you are in THAT magazine in my world, so now you guys are famous..
You guys should go and buy the magazine so you can see it. It is just a little picture and a write up about how it would be a cute swim suit cover to go with their swim suit, but I thought you gals would want to know.

REALLY good issue too.. Totally gorgeous Alice in Wonderland smocked dress in there. Omgosh. I'll scan it and post a picture if you are really interested.
Ooh.. here is her blog and a picture of the full smocking plate. WOW! I love this lady. Her plates have been out of print since the early 90s, so I am so excited. I heard rumors that she was going to release new stuff. YAY! Okay most of you don't smock, but maybe you'll understand?? hehe.

http://smockingwithgwen.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
New smocking plate and cute dress made with it of 3 disney princesses too. Gorgeous! YAY! I NEED IT NOW!!!!!!!!

Found a picture of a little girl wearing the Alice dress.

Kira- GOOD GIRL! You posted it!!!! I knew you would see it (and the Alice dress) I don't smock either, so lovely- but looks time consuming. you are so talented. I wondered, did you get multiple uses out of the mardi gra purple-green outfit you made with the growth tucks last year?
I saw thought too and thought the same thing "WOW, they really are famous now"
too funny.

For those who don't have the issue, there is a darling 2 piece swim suit in searsucker for kids (you can see it on their facebook fan page)
How do you think searsucker would do as a swim suit??

I actually sewed something! I saw a ruffled Vera Bradley purse I loved and kept thinking I could make that! So I did! No real pattern. I did have a basic shape I liked from a pattern and I have made several purses before so I just kind of made it up as I went along. I used some GORGEOUS SiSboom St Croix fabric!

Your marlo top and cathy dress are sweet, but these purses are so awesome!
did you post the ruffled ones on facebook? You should tag Jennifer- she would love to see them!

She (Jennifer Paganelli) is having a fabric sale at her house in early May- is anyone else going? Carla will be there too!

Alright girls, where do I go to buy Carla's patterns these days? I know she has her own site now.

You can either visit her on etsy. Scientific Seamstress (be sure to search in the "sellers" catagory) or put in the name of the pattern you are looking for

OR
www.youcanmakethis.com (however, she loses a percentage to them when you buy there I think-)

OR you can contact her and ask her how to get ahold of her patterns on CD

 

[desparatelydisney]

Adorable!!

Question.....because I am being lazy and haven't looked yet....is there a link somewhere to show Fish Extenders people have made for cruises?

MMM

 

[desparatelydisney]

How is it that no matter how hight I set the bar for you, you always BLOW PAST IT??!!! Absolutely stunning!!!

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

I think this is my favorite creation so far. Lots of details in the wings that slowed me down but I love how this came out. The prints are some that I've had for awhile waiting for the perfect use.

This is beautiful!

My latest creation, I used the upcycled halter pattern again, to make this dress for my DGD.

Used an old WDW tank top and one of Heather's embroidery designs (thanks Heather!)

This is very cool!

Doesn't Heather look cute in the petti!

and, that's me!

You guys look so cute! Now all you need is matching shirts with heather's cuties on them!

Here is my first bucket hat--I made a few boo-boos, now I'm making 2 more. The patchwork side has Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Daisy, & Donald on it--the reverse side has Mickey & Minnie on the top.

This is adorable! I love how you put all of the characters on there!

I finally finished my Tiana gown. It took WAY longer than I expected, but here goes:

Wow! This is stunning as usual!

This is super cute! I really need to get to work on my toy story outfits. My youngest dd has been begging for one. I haven't had as much time to sew lately with all of the tests on my stomach, birthdays, homeschooling, etc. Ugh! For my test yesterday, it took 4 VERY painful tries to get the IV in!!!! Yuck!

I love all of the pics people have been posting lately!

You do realize that the rest of us can never hope to obtain this level of skill, right???!!!!

Heather and Teresa, OMG Love you guys in the Petti's!

 

[mom2rtk]

I hate that gumball machine too >< I think it was the second time I went, on a slow day, and I still waited for longer than an hour, and when I get to the front it's the same three princesses I saw last time, Snow, Cindy and Mulan. My three less favorites! So I skipped Snow White and when I was talking to Cindy, Snow switched with Ariel and they did not let me go back The only good thing was that Mulan switched with Belle Not a complete waste of time. I still haven't managed to see Ariel and I've been going almost every week since the beginning of the year

I'm not sure if they have them come on on specific times, I think its just random. I know Tiana can be found at her show, Cinderella in California Adventure at the Drawn to Magic show, and Jasmine comes out with Aladdin out in Adventure land by the Tiki Room. I think the easiest way to meet the rest of them is by eating at Ariel's Grotto.

Tiana's show times are all on the show schedule they give you in the front
I still hope you visit her old spot for a photo of your daughter coming down the stairs!

They really DO make it hard for character stalkers like my daughter and myself! Surely I'm not alone is tyically heading to Disney looking for pictures with one particular character or another????

And yes, we are doing Ariel's Grotto, so we'll find the princesses. But the pictures in the park are always SO much prettier than the ones at a character meal. Nothing against the other diners..... I just prefer a prettier background!

WOW!!! That is GORGEOUS!!!

Oh my goodness....how gorgeous. My DGD5 told me this weekend...."I want the blue Tiana gown that she wears just after she falls down and gets 'benni-eggs' (beignets) all over her...and I want blue 'glubs' (gloves) and a blue crown." Wow...she isn't demanding, is she?

Morning all! It has been ages since I posted!
Love the Tiana dress so pretty!

GORGEOUS Janet!!!!

That is very beautiful. I was envying the tiny waist too, then I remembered it was for your daughter, and there is no way a woman my age should have the waist of a 9 year old, so that made me feel better.

How is it that no matter how hight I set the bar for you, you always BLOW PAST IT??!!! Absolutely stunning!!!

This is beautiful!
Wow! This is stunning as usual!

Many thanks everyone! Katie's excited to try this gown a try! And boy wouldn't we ALL like a waist that size. But after 3 kids I don't even bother to dream about that any more!

 

[aksunshine]

Thanks Marlo and Nicole.

BTW, I will be praying for your dad Nicole.

LOL Janet!!!

 

[teresajoy]

Can y'all please pray for my Dad again? I don't know if I shared, but they had to put him back in the hospital on IV antibiotics for the infection they let go too long before (I begged them to keep him on the IV antibiotics before, but they said it wasn't needed). Anyway, the antibiotics aren't even enough; he has a massive infection, not just in the wound, but in the bone itself. They're going to do surgery in the morning to remove the lowest remaining couple of inches of the femur, and as much other tissue as they can. My heart is just broken. I'm so worried that even after all this we're going to lose him, or they may have to take so much a prosthesis won't be possible. And I feel so guilty for being here instead of there- I can't help but think if I'd been closer I could have forced someone to listen to me.

I'm so sorry about your Dad. Please don't blame yourself though, you did what you could! I hope everything comes out ok for him.

1.)I love the dress and Tessa looks beautiful but I have to say, I am really jealous of that grass. My yard is full of dandelions right now so I have grass envy anywhere I see pretty, lush green grass! Stupid dandelions!!!!


2.)HeatherSue & TeresaI think you look fierce in your Pettis!

1.)That picture showcases two of Henry's favorite things, his daughter and his lawn!!!
2.)Thanks!

I went by the size for the simply sweet, but by measurements I should have made a smaller size. I haven't used that pattern in a while and I guess I forgot.

Those of you heading for Disneyland soon....... I need reconnaissance from the field on Tiana and Naveen! I assume they are still appearing for meet & greets in New Orleans square, but would like to confirm that before we go the first week of June!

Janet, this is stunning! Will you be posting pictures of your daughter in it?

I love all the pettiskirts on grown-ups!! I am so intimidated by the pettiskirts, but I'd LOVE to make one (or a dozen) for Disney trips!!

Thanks! Chiffon and I don't get along well, so I don't make these, I order them! PM me if you want more information.

We can't wait for the new Toy Story to come out!! Of course I had to make a littke something for Em. OF course she insisted ona set for hed Chrissa doll I hope to get a set made for Little Man too.

Leslie, this is so cute!!!!

Sisboom's Sophie Tunic is mentioned in Sew

Thanks! Yes, I was trying to get one done quickly for DD4's field trip to the strawberry patch, but now she's running a fever & won't be going!

Thanks! Did Arminda always have food smeared on her face like mine? Arminda is beautiful, so that's nice to hear!

Oh no! I'm sorry she is sick!

Yes, Arminda often had something on her face! And, thank you! I think Arminda is pretty cute too! And, I was so excited, I measured her the other day and she had grown a half inch since December!!!! (Arminda doesn't grow much, so that was big!) She is actually outgrowing some clothes!!! She's been a size 10/12 for about 3 years!

Oh my goodness....how gorgeous. My DGD5 told me this weekend...."I want the blue Tiana gown that she wears just after she falls down and gets 'benni-eggs' (beignets) all over her...and I want blue 'glubs' (gloves) and a blue crown." Wow...she isn't demanding, is she?

Love it!!! She knows what she wants, nothing wrong with that!

Juliet just got on the bus. Do I try to go back to sleep for another hour to hour & a half til the girls get up or do I sew with no interuptions?

I would chose sleep!

Awww, same year too? He is such a cutie! I was looking at the photobucket account at boys things yesterday. Lots of Sawyer on there. BTW, Matt and I had serious issues picking a boy name and Sawyer, as well as Ronin, were names I really liked!

Yes, Sawyer will turn 4 on June 13.

Alright girls, where do I go to buy Carla's patterns these days? I know she has her own site now.

She has a list of where to buy them on her website: http://www.scientificseamstress.com/wheretobuy.html
I didn't even know she sold at all those places!

Side two

Oh my goodness, those are completely adorable!!!! I love the look of a-lines with the easy fits!

For my test yesterday, it took 4 VERY painful tries to get the IV in!!!! Yuck!
!

Uck! I'm sorry Rocehelle! Are you getting any answers yet?

Thanks! I did post it to FB and tag her AND she BLOGGED about it! I about fainted!!!!!!! Jennifer is such a Doll! So talented! Carla and her make a GREAT team!


Heather and Teresa, OMG Love you guys in the Petti's!

Thanks Marlo!!! And, I lost your post, but I love that rufffley bag! It's so cute! And, I want to see you modeling your namesake!!!

 

[teresajoy]

Our zoo opens today, so my Mom took Lydia on a little Zoo field trip. Yesterday, I was telling Lydia that I should make her a zoo outfit. You know what she said??? She said, "You know, I don't need a special outfit for EVERYTHING I do"! Where did I go wrong???

Of course, I didn't listen to her, and she helped me design and make this cute little top. We used the Criss-cross top pattern from YCMT. It went together really quickly.

She thought she should sit in the tree in this outfit.

She was so excited! She LOVES going to the zoo! She was a little disappointed when she found out the giraffes probably wouldn't be out yet, but she was still excited!

It was SOOOOO much fun making something just because I wanted too and not because I had to! I need to do more of this!

 

[mom2rtk]

Janet, this is stunning! Will you be posting pictures of your daughter in it?

She hasn't even had it on yet! If I get it on her before our trip, I'll share. I'm really hoping for pics with Tiana at DL and I'll definitely post those if I get them! If not, then I'll have to cross my fingers that Tiana sticks around the World until our December trip!

Of course, Katie REALLY wants that blue gown of hers. So I'm hoping to get pics in this one this summer, and maybe do the blue one for Dec. Not that I would have any problem bringing both.... I've been.... know to do that sort of thing. These strapless gowns are really hard to get right for a girl with nothing up top to hold it up though! That's OK though.... no hurry here......

BTW: You and Heather look SMASHING in those pettis!!!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

April- just say no! You're totally being taken advantage of

Can y'all please pray for my Dad again?

And I feel so guilty for being here instead of there- I can't help but think if I'd been closer I could have forced someone to listen to me.

Nicole, I went through the same with a very close and dear friend of your families, nights in the hospital hoping for the infection to clean up as they kept taking more. Girl you are in my prayers and your Dad, don't feel guilty, it is nothing you did or didn't do. It just is. I am sorry and will pray for God's peace.

I finally finished my Tiana gown. It took WAY longer than I expected, but here goes:

Too cute.

MARLO, love the bags.

I made the choice yesterday to lay out in the sun since we now have rain and snow for the next 3 days.

But I didn't get the sewing done I should have. Today I have nail appt at 10, then I am going to finish the ruffled diaper cover. Then it is the two elephant costumes. And finally the Disney shirts that have to be finished by Sunday evening. If I get it all done I will try to get Jammies done for Mothers day for Mom.

I did get to the dump with two truck loads of tires all by 8:30 am.

Sorry I have not been keeping up well with all the beautiful clothing and posts. Time is counting down for our trip and I feel like I am going nuts with DH being gone and all the work, but the sun came out and I have a nice tan.
