PRAYERS PLEASE
DGD6 has evaluations tonight at gymnastics to see if she can advance to level 4 Team! She wants to make it so bad. Please keep her in your prayers that she can do her best! She won't find out until practice on Friday is she made it or not. DD won't even go watch, I get that duty! Keep DD in your prayers too, she is so stressed about this and her VAN repairs. Don't know yet how much the repairs are going to cost!

Wow this board is so hard to follow LOL...tons and tons of posts all the time Hee hee. I just love seeing all the great designs and clothes posted here. I have been in a total DISNEY theme with all my designing lately...here is my latest

Would be nice if my kids would actually wear the clothes I make LOL

Is that the Insa Skirt? I am working on a couple of those for my DD. I can't wait to see how they turn out!

I found my camera! I had moved it...

Guess what? It rained last night. So, even though I stayed up until 12:45, the troop is NOT going strawberry picking today. She wore her shirt to school anyways. In the last pic, she's also holding her clownfish squishie she just got yesterday.

Very cute Deb!!

December can be crazy! I have been twice. Once this same exact week and once the week after. This past Dec we had days when jackets were a must and days when shorts and Ts were still a little warm! I recommend layering! I made my daughter a lot of Simply Sweets with skirts so that I could put long sleeve shirts and leggings under so that the customs weren't hidden. I also bought a hooded jacket with Bambi on it, so that if she needed a jacket, it was still Disney.
Here are some pics: (sorry to repost)

Good luck!

Cute dresses!! I totally agree, layering is key for November and December visits!! I made all the boys' customs in short sleeves and then bought coordinating solid color long sleeve shirts for them to wear under when needed. And to make wearing a jacket fun, I made Monorail jackets...bought the jackets on Clearance the year before at Target for $4!! I wish I would have gotten a better picture of them in them since they took forever to embroider, but here's my best one.

I need bias tape and 1/4" elastic to finish my project, any pastel color on the tape will do. I did the mountain goat thing and climbed into the pile of boxes in my garage and found enough fabric to make the Cathy dress, but can't find the box of elastic or any bias. Frustrating, because I know it's in there someplace! I needed something to keep my mind off hearing "oops, cut that one too short!" I did find my good shears and a bias tape maker, 3/4"...I could probably find some broadcloth out there and make my own if I need to...any idea how wide bias tape is supposed to be? This looks like the right size, it's even brand new, something else from my mother's collection that might come in handy!

3/4" should be fine for double fold bias tape. For single fold (if you don't want half of it to show) you might want something 1/2". I am sure you can make it work!

Hey.... I'm not above that........ It's been lurking around in my beady little brain....... I've always wanted to be Merryweather to my daughter's Aurora....... Hmmmmmmmm............

And I'd like some pictures in my evil queen costume with Snow White (you know...ones where I didn't LOOK like it was over 95 and humid all day....)

Do it!!! If you don't get kicked out of the park, I'll join you! Psh, Disney probably wouldn't even realize you weren't one of the "official" characters.

Sure, just give me your address and I'll ship over the 2 extra sets I whipped up just in case you asked!

Super! I knew you would have an extra set!!! I'll get you my address ASAP!

Seriously, though, I am going to hire someone with the machine and talent that can do that for me. There's NO WAY I'll be able to dream of doing that for quite a while, but they would be perfect for a day at MGM. Hmmm...Oklahoma DISboutiquers should PM me.

OK, I finally took a pic of DS in his Toy Story PJs...

Again, thank goodness he's easy to please. He loves 'em and hates to take them off!! If only I was that excited about my work.

P.S. Excuse the quality (of the picture, not the clothes), I took it on my phone.

You are going to take the strawberry off!!!! For goodness sakes - leave it on at least! I did like it alot when it was finished. Sorry your daughter didn't get to wear it.

That's too cute to take off! I'd leave it, and call it a new shirt.

Thanks! She wore it to school anyways. I forgot to fray-check the end of the rick-rack and it's fraying now, but no biggie.

I take off appliques all the time. Look closely, and while I satin stitch around the strawberry, the pink and rick-rack are sewn on with a careful hand, a straight stitch, and no stabilizer. This way I can re-use shirts for different appliques and re-use appliques on bigger shirts. I've been doing it for years. The Xmas tree appliques that go with her skirt have been on about 4 shirts now...

Best of luck for DGD, and for DD's repairs as well.

As requested.
I purchased a plain skirt and top from David's Bridal and blinged it up a bit.

Well, you can see the Mickey Heads, but it also has sparkles all over the skirt. Not sure why the pic is so small.

11 weeks early, I bet they were SO TINY!!

I was in the hospital for over a month because they were monoamniotic (both babies in one amniotic sac) a very dangerous pregnancy. Jessica (who is on the left in the pic was 1 pound 5 ounces and Meghan was 1 pound 15 ounces. But, because they knew the chances of full term were remote at best, we had steroids for their lungs and other things I can't even remember while we waited. They were the first set of monoamniotic twins at that hospital where both babies survived. And this was THE neonatal hospital in the area. We are very very blessed.

My heart just goes out to moms each time I hear about premature births.....I know exactly what they're going through and hopefully it helps them to know that these tiny ones can grow up! I was so often met with people offering me sympathy because they all believed my babies wouldn't grow up (even when they were right there with us!). It's amazing how far medicine has come in the last generation or two....had "I" been born that little I wouldn't have survived the night having been born almost 50 years ago. Now many babies are not only surviving but thriving because of the technology we have...and I'm sure it's even more amazing today than it was almost 14 years ago!

Hi. I'm looking for ideas for customs for a few things and was wondering if anyone could give me tips. Thanks. I posted "Fall trip planning with large family" with loads of questions if anyone has a chance to answer.

I will say that I am terrified to applique but I know I want some for my children, especially my girls. LOVE Carla's patterns on YCMT but haven't had a chance to sew much. I'm better at bows then I am sewing. Our newest little doll had open heart surgery when a day old and I was on bedrest before that so it's been a rough go. We're trying to plan a trip the week after Thanksgiving and get it all done, including gas and food for less than $3200 for us and all 7 children. We are going to Disney all day one of the days on the Give a Day passes. We plan on going to Chef Mickey, Hoop-Dee-Doo and perhaps the VMCP. We'll spend a couple days just enjoying our villa and resting and doing laundry and a day at the beach. We're just glad to be going. Still paying off hospital bills so this seemed to make the most sense to plan things this way.

I love coming on here and glancing at the pictures. So many talented designers!!

Thanks, Steph

Outfit ideas needed:

Chef Mickey

Hoop-Dee-Doo

Miniature Golf and Beach Day

Celebration City and Downtown Disney Day

Magical Kingdom

Did you make up the monorail design? So cute. You could do the Por Favor saying on the back.
