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

[The Moonk's Mom]

Good luck with Grandma's apron! I make my own pattern for that, so sorry I don't have a pattern to suggest.

Here's Aurora:

My Katie wants to know if she can have this? I told her she probably could't so she may be off to count her piggy bank soon! She LOVES Aurora...but really I think June in a dress like that she would die of heat!

 

[teresajoy]

I took pictures of the pattern my aunt sent me last week. It is SOO cool!!!

Not sure if you can see it, but some great prices here!

And, I've always wanted a dress form, and I found one at a garage sale today!!! My brother and his wife gave me money for doing their taxes last week, so I used that to buy it. I paid $25.

I was going to call her Margarite, but Lydia says I should call her Margarita!!

Well, I have to run, the kids are in the car waiting to go to Pizza Night at Mom's! Talk to you all later!

Tell your Katie I appreciate her enthusiasm!

I know it's likely to be warm. But first thing in the morning in CA is practically guaranteed to be WAY better than ANY time in FL last fall! So I'll bring it. I want to update this photo I took in June 2006. She'll probably just have it on for a bit, then change to shorts.

That is so beautiful, your daughter and the dress are gorgeous, and what a beautiful setting.

Thank you! That was the first Aurora costume I ever made. I LOVE that spot for photos because you can't see any of the other people in the park. I hope nothing has changed in our spot since our last trip in 07!

 

[mom2rtk]

OHHHHH Janet!!! You are just amazing! I love all the things you post!

Thanks Teresa! I hope we get to use this one. I felt bad that it never got worn. Heck, I don't even think she has tried it on!

And that apron pattern is ADORABLE!!

Mother's day is right when we get home so I thought to make Mom's Jammies before we leave.

Thank is just precious.

I love the old school ads and what a great find to have a dress form!!! Luckie!!!

That is just beautiful, how lucky you all are to have little girls that will wear such cute outfits.

Well its offficial I will be retiring June 30th went to Austin and did all my paperwork so I will be able to start sewing all the time. I think I actually have 48 working days left.

 

[DisneyKings]

Welcome to the family, cuz!

Thanks! When's the family reunion at WDW???


OK, I need to vent for a minute. I'm taking a girls trip in 8 days, I'm taking my 2 girls & meeting a friend that moved the end of last year & her daughter down at WDW. I have made all the arrangements, managed to trade my parents timeshare for a 3 BR place close for only $238, have my annual pass for free parking, am getting her cheap tix, & am making her kid clothes & a hat to match mine (only charging her for the cost of the shirts & shorts). So she's getting off really cheap which is the only way she could do it. I have all of the dinner ressies made & everything set up, but she takes soooo long to return my calls & e-mails that it's really frustrating me! She asked for a breakdown of the costs the other day, so I sent it & she still hasn't replied to it. GRRRR! I hope she winds up showing appreciation when we get down there. OK, rant over, thanks for reading!

 

[McDuck]

UGH! I sure hope today goes better!

Girl, you are so ambitious. Good for you. It takes a lot to really clean and organize so many things come out before going back in. Rest when you! Glad you got a nap.

Thanks. I finally got everything back in the closet. Had to clear two bags of stuff (including some junk from high school and college!!!) off the top shelf of the closet to make room for the paper holders, but it looks a LOT better now. Just some stuff to pack up on the bed and hopefully tomorrow I can at least get the fabric pressed and the patterns laid out, maybe even cut out!

Hi there - I'm way behind, but have a QUESTION about MINKY:

Has anyone ever done embroidery on it? I'm trying to replicate a 30-year old velour (don't diss, my grandma made it for me!) quilt that has HAND embroidery on it. If you've done machine emboridery, what stabilizers have you had luck with? This needs to be able to be machine wash/tumble dry/loved to death in another 30 years!

Thanks!

Deb

I have found a heavy water soluable stabilizer on top of your fabric and a nice weight cut-away for under to work well. Good luck on your project!

Not a great picture. My model is away, and she doesn't always co-operate. I CASEd this from someone on the board. Using the peasant top from YCMT. I liked the button idea, but Kirsta informed me that Snow White had a yellow "line", not buttons. And the red ribbon should be at the top, not where I put it. I made the hem in a hankerchief style that is popular now. And I'd like to find red bike shorts to go with it. I think it looks really cute on. Hopefully I can get her to model it for me, so you can hav a better idea of how it looks.

I spoke with DH about the costumes and had several failures. I was paralyzed because of the all the work and was overwhelmed. We made a choice to give them back all the fabrics, explain what didn't work and then wish them the best.

After we talked about that I was able to complete the new incredibles shirt for DD and starting the new pirate shirt this morning. It feels great to be able to sew for pleasure again.

DH got me a new Mac book Pro for mother's day!!!! It arrived yesterday afternoon.

I got us great seats for La Nouba at 30% off! 3 more days till we leave for Disney!

SO happy to hear that you have given back the fabric! You didn't need that stress!

I'm a bit jealous of the Mac book! But I'm sitting here with my relatively new iMac so I can't complain.

How did you get 30% off on La Nouba? I only see a discount through 3/27 on mousesavers.

I found some red Incredible’s fabric at a local fabric store on clearance yesterday and was going to make some pajama pants for my 6 1/2 ds, as my first ever sewn item. Do I need a pattern? I am sure I do. Does anybody know a good one?

I was wanting a different Incredible’s fabric to make a coordinating set for my 2 year old ds. I don't think I have ever seen any other Incredible’s fabric though? But, I can't say I have been looking for it either. Does anybody know where they might sell some?

I know it has already been said a few times but I have to put in another plug for Carla's Easy Fit pattern. Like a sewing lesson! You'll learn skills you can apply to other sewing projects. And the results are awesome! I hadn't sewn in 15+ years when I bought that pattern. I made my kids flannel PJ pants and my oldest (who was 8) and had never seen me sew asked how I got them to "look so real".

Behind the Castle is the store Tinkerbell's Treasures, they have an Aurora dress display that changes from Pink to Blue. I keep looking for a peice of Pink and Blue Tye Die to make a dress, and embroider the "dueling" fairies on it. But no luck so far.

Couldn't you make your own tie died fabric.

Teresa, I MUST have one of those Cinderella aprons and I don't care if you dance around the house nekkid in it or if you put it on foster tarp. It's a price I'm willing to pay.

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

I still have to get a few tests done. We did find out my stomach empty's too slow (which seems a little funny to me since I feel like I have the opposite problem ), but they said this could be causing the nausea. They also took some biopsy's from both of my scopes this week so I am waiting on those results. They found one ulcer but said it was small so that it wasn't causing the problem, but they are checking that specific spot for chrones I guess. We'll see! Thanks for asking though. I have to have a spot taken off of my face next week so that is the next thing I am a little nervous about.

!

Did you see the baby giraffes?! I want to take my girls but don't have the $ right now to buy a new zoo pass. Hopefully we can go soon before the baby's get too big. They named one of the baby giraffes McKenna when our Makenna was little so she always loves to go and see them. Good job on the shirt too! So cute!

Well...I already have the shirts!

Oh, I feel for you on the IVs. It's so painful when they don't get it right the first time! Every time they try to put one in my hand, I tell them they won't be able to do it. But, they never believe me! So, they poke me 4 times and dig around before they figure out they can't put an IV in my hand and then they put it somewhere else. UGH!! Thankfully I haven't had to have one for a while now. I hope they can figure out what's going on with you very soon.

Oooo...I'm sorry. The digging around HURTS!!! That was what they were doing to me too. thanks for the care and concern.

We check initials too - however my youngest DD is E---- L--- Frank so her initials are ELF and she was born Dec 3rd. She is my elf! We are very particular with names. When DD#1 was in utero we were discussing names and wanted to look at names in our family - my GreatGrandmom's name was Albina - she was from Italy - We called her Grandma Beans" My dad says "you can not name her after her then she'd be Beans Frank" --- My husband liked the name Eaton for a boy - I said no --- Eaton Frank, I don't think so."

Good call on saying no to Eaton Frank!

Tell your Katie I appreciate her enthusiasm!

What a cute picture! My oldest DD has always LOVED Aurora! I wish I had some skills to make a real aurora dress. She would go crazy!
