Disboutiquers Part 23 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[MyDisneyTrio]

I am not sure, but I also mailed a package to Joey's sister, from Houston on Oct 30 first class and it has not arrived yet, either! I am on the NW side of Houston, Jersey Village area, where are you?

So glad I'm not alone! I sure hope it gets there soon! I'm on the SE side, down in the Clear Lake/Seabrook/Kemah area

I just have to vent that I am about to toss my serger out the window! I just spent almost two hours getting it set up to do a ton of rolled hems for Feliz ruffles and I decide I didn't like the red wooly thread and switched to green. Apparently the machine rejected the green and broke the needle, got all tangled and ate the test fabric. Which by the way, is now all jammed up in the machine. Heading to the gym to try to calm myself down!

UGH! I just ordered a serger after debating for a very long time. I know I will NOT have the patience for it to misbehave.

We had dinner at Akershus that night. More princess pics! Belle loved Connor's shirt.

Love all your outfits, they look great. Love your DD's Halloween jeans, I was thinking I might have to make a pair of those for me for our Xmas trip...well in Christmas colors of course-hehe!

I'm sure the Princesses love when the boys get in on the fun! Is it just me or does that Belle look like Wynonna Judd?

They look great and sooo excited!

I bought beautiful Nutcracker designs last year!
http://www.secretsof.com/content/4242

We will be going to the Nutcracker this year, too! I'm so excited to see the Houston Ballet perform this classic! We're planning for me, my DD and my mom to go when my mom is in town for Christmas. It's a Christmas gift, and I can't wait!

When are you going? We will be there Fri night, Dec 17. Thanks for the website for the designs. I bought one already from emblibrary but I may like this one better. I am going to test the one I have tonight because I want to change her skirt coloring. If it doesn't look right, I will get these. I especially love the borders around the figures.

I sit and watch my machine and hold my breath. Am I not supposed to do THAT? Everyone does, right???

Me too! My DH laughs at me for sitting so close and staring a it.

Oh my gosh, those are so cute. I would love a tree skirt made with those designs. If I cant figure out how to get my BROTHER PR 620 I may just buy the PE 770 from Walmart today so I get started on my tree skirt!

My next door neighbor danced with the Houston Ballet last year... if you are interested I could ask her if she can hook you guys up with some kind Meet the Dancers or something like that. Cant remember how old your DD is or if it would be something she would even be interested in. PM if you are interested. My neighbor dances with the Seattle Ballet now but I can e-mail her.

PM'd you...we would love that!

Just found out yesterday that my son won't be joining us for our Disney trip next month after all. So I have a Chef Mickey's t-shirt in a size Medium (the Royal Blue one) that we won't be needing if anyone thinks they can use it (no charge) for an upcoming trip send me a pm.

I also have started a blog, in case anyone is interested... not sure if I will keep up with updating it or not, but I thought I would share in case anyone is interested. I will try to talk about my sewing adventures and other stuff as well. Blog

Great job on the shirts and I can't wait to keep up with your Blog.

Nini - you lived in GERMANY!!! WOW!!!!

Oh no!!! Well, at least when we get back it will be a short work week because of Thanksgiving!!! I gotta get ready for my Black Friday Shopping!!

Anyone else shop on BF? What are you going for this year?

Black Friday shopping is our favorite time of year!!!! We go allllllll night!
The line up this year for us is Toys R Us, Walmart and then Kohls! Can't wait.

Enjoy the ballet and again a perfect Christmas event.

Thanks...can't wait!

Gosh, I can't keep up! It's been a few days and it's already 25 pages in!

We leave on Saturday for DW and I'm in the home stretch... or maybe crunch to finish a few things for DD.

Today I finished this for our Studio day, found the LE fabric on clearance for $3.99. Ignore the goofy look, she's always showing off a funny face.

Here's a twirl skirt for AK, still have to finish applique T-shirt to go with it. I think it goes great with her jammies, LOL.

Have fun...everything looks great!

This has taken me forever to get done-partly because I was really sick for almost two weeks. I have to say this is not my favorite pattern....love the end result, but thought the pattern was kind of a pain to do....might be more me than that pattern, since I put both layers into one I didn't do the ties, I just put elastic in casings around the back and under the arms and the ruffles are 4 1/2 inches...just in case anyone is wondering. The ruffles are a bit of a headache! But, We all love the way it turned out-which is what counts right? She was dancing around with it on, that is why it looks alittle crocked, but in really isn't.

MOMof6Wyoming, I am sorry I missed your photos but the outfits and the children are just totally sweet. Great customs.

Everyone has made me really welcome.
I was checking out your thread about once a week or so, but will try to drop in more often.

I looked thru my pictures and the only one I have that shows the lights is way out of focus. Here it is anyway.

DD's lights are purple (we got them last year at Halloween), but they have similar ones in Target's newspaper ad today. If you go to www.target.com and then search for solar light, you will find them. We had the 24 light string, but they have 50 light strings now too. They have an on/off switch, but when it is turned to on, it has a sensor that turns them on in the dark and off when in a light area.

We use black plastic electrical tape to attach the lights to the wheelchair. The solar collector part is about 1/2 inch thick and about 3 by 5 inches and we attach that first since it has to be secure. It is attached to a stem that is supposed to go into the ground. We used the tape to attach the stem to an upright pipe on DD's wheelchair - you have to make sure it will be attached so it can be exposed to sun. Started in the back on/near one of the upright push handles.
Then, we just attached the string with lights to the pipes that make up the sides and cross pieces of the underside of DD's chair.
This is a chair like DD's

We attached the lights to the side horizontal pieces and when we got to the front, we draped the lights up to the cross brace that goes across the front of the wheelchair under the seat. Then, we continued to place the lights on the horizontal side bar on the other side of the chair.
We used about 2 inches of tape to attach each light and wound the tape around the wheelchair pipes. The electrical tape is nice because it is secure, waterproof, but removes cleanly when you need to get it off.

Sue I really like how you explained how to attach the lights to the chair. I need good directions. I think this might be something we can do for DS.

The shirt and pants are just too cute, Fabric on sale is always a good thing. Love the twirl skirt. Isn't sewing for AK just the best?

18 days, wow that went by so very fast. I love the Christmas colours and the dress is so beautiful. Great job.

I don't think I will ever catch up but I thought I would post a couple pics from our trip last week. This is my mom & Juliet when we went to WWoHP

Joci & Juliet meeting Rapunzel & Flynn Rider.

The girls with my dad.

My three girls in front of the trainstation.

It looks like you have a fun time. How nice to have your Dad with you too. Love the customs!

Here is the generational photo with my mom. I made my blouse and Kaitlyn's dress and my mom made her blouse.

Awww, I love generation photos, you have a lovely family.

I just have to vent that I am about to toss my serger out the window! I just spent almost two hours getting it set up to do a ton of rolled hems for Feliz ruffles and I decide I didn't like the red wooly thread and switched to green. Apparently the machine rejected the green and broke the needle, got all tangled and ate the test fabric. Which by the way, is now all jammed up in the machine. Heading to the gym to try to calm myself down!

Calm down at the gym, come back and look at it with a level head. I personally like the throwing things off the roof and then shooting them with shootgun when I get super mad. JK, But sometimes it is so frustrating. I hope you get it fixed.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

has anyone downloaded Undercover Tourist App for the iPhone? Oh my gosh, it is sooooo coool!!!!!! They offer a free version w/ads but I dont even notice the ads. It tells you line waits in real time, restaurant menus, crowd levels at parks, parade times for each day, etc. Like right now I can see that Animal Kingdom is open for EMH and Expedition Everest only has a 5 minute wait. Awesome! If you have an iphone, you have to have this thing! Plus its free!!!!

No but I have every other app for Disney so I am off to get it. What do you think Itunes is going to announce tomorrow?

Pretty little girl and the Christmas dress is very cute I am very intimidated by this pattern, but at least you have braved it with wonderful results!

I remember you showing your creations for this portrait, I'm glad you also showed the end result, beautiful portrait!

Me too! My DH laughs at me for sitting so close and staring a it.

I had DH babysitting my machine right before we went to DL. He didn't understand why I kept getting mad when he looked up to watch the tv. He has no idea what it sounds like when something messes up so in my mind he needed to be WATCHING it, not just sitting there! He was none to happy that I didn't think he did a good job. Thank goodness it was Heather's Buzz and she does such awesome appliques that all was good.

So cute

Does anyone know how long it take a first class mail item to travel from Houston to Canada? I participated in Joey's Big Give and I mailed my item 10/27 and it appears they have not received it yet I am starting to get worried! I sent a shirt and shorts, but the box was light enough for first class mail... I don't know why it isn't there yet!

I mailed my package on 10/27 too and they received them about 10 days later. I was shipping from RI so not sure if that made a difference.

And with Belle. Connor is far more interested in his sword and shield.

I had the privilege of making some tag blankets for an 'un-named' big give. I have never made them before but loved making these! They are made of certain colors etc due to some special needs of this little one. I will have to make more in the future for any babies that come our families way! They are so cuddly. I also found these two polar fleece prints at a fabric shop near me that a) I didn't know had any Disney fabrics and b) I had never seen these two before anywhere!

Thanks gang!

Erica - pants are Carla C's Easy fit pants. Top is the Round Neck top/dress. Both came from YCMT

I love them. I'll have to add them to my "gotta make someday" list. The fabrics you found are perfect. I especially like Chip and Dale.

Those taggies are great, I have never made them but have a niece on the way so I might give it a try.

Where did you find that Chip and Dale fleece? DD wears fleece pants to cheer everyday and would LOVE that fabric!

Sorry it was a pain but it is so beautiful!!

The next day was Epcot. Here they are with Nemo and friends! I wish I had shortened the straps on Alexa's jumper, they kept slipping down.

Great photos and love all the customs! It looks like you had a good time!!

Does anyone know where I can get any New York Yankees applique or embroidery designs?

My DIL wanted to know if I could make her sister a yankees crib bedding set. Turns out you can't get yankees cotton fabric, but I thought maybe I could get solid fabrics and embroider/applique the logo onto it to come up with something, but now sure where to find the designs.

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

I have seen the NY somewhere but not sure if it was etsy or -- it is the same for Phillies fabric - you can find it on sometimes but it is like $60 or more a yard at the start of the auction.

Yeah I guess I should have said you can't get yankees cotton fabric for a price I am willing to pay! So I thought maybe I could applique some logos onto solid fabric to make it. I did find one Yankees logo applique design on etsy,

so if I could find the other one that looks like this

I could probably come up with something.
