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

[NiniMorris]

Rats! Lost all my multi quotes...

Let's see if my old feeble mind can remember everything...

Wendy...Yes we lived in Germany for two years. Was supposed to be three years, but my second son had to be medivaced home after 2 years...thought he had a neuroblastoma, but we were very fortunate. The type of tumor was completely non cancerous and he still has it some 25 years later! We were a military family for 20 years.

This is the first year in 25 years that we haven't done Black Friday. It is really strange, but I am still searching through all the sales...some habits die hard. But I promised hubby that I would let him sleep in that morning (since we leave at 3 am Saturday morning for Disney.)

...well I obviously can't remember the others...and my computer is not happy with me at the moment. I took it with us to the mountains today and let the battery run completely down...and now it is demanding a nap while being charged!

If you make it Atlanta please let us know. We may have to have a mini Panda meet

I really wish you would come! We always have an extra room, actually the whole basement can be your suite (don't worry there is a window in the basement bedroom). And then I have my sewing room upstairs now, but a bed in there and Dallas has bunk beds. BTW, my first sleepover was with the neighbor boy!

Like I said to Kristine, I really wish you guys would come! I thought of both of you when the panda was born.

OK girls we might have to get planning this get together. When does Dallas get out of school? And when does M get a "break"


First sleepover with was with a boy Jessica? hmmmmm interesting LOL! I would let Ash bunk with Dallas but she would talk him to death! BTW, sent you a message on FB too.

May 20th! Let the planning begin! I know Ash won't be out for a bit after that. We have no plans so far, but shhh, don't tell M, right now the cub scout year end trip *might* be to Sea World to sleep with Shamu. It hasn't been finalized yet. Right now it is between that and Space Camp in Huntsville I believe. If we do that I think we might do a few days at the Nick hotel.

I can be flexable with M's schedule. We could always consider it a field trip. And there is an AG store too

Not a , just don't want her to get excited if that isn't what ends up happening! We would want to see you guys for sure silly!

for M and the AG store. Although I am thinking Ash might not be as impressed. It is super small I assume compared to NYC. Not sure how it stacks up against Boston's and the one in Texas.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Why is it we worker harder on the weekends than during the week? Today we moved our furniture from the living room to the different areas and my sewing area is now in a better and different area.

We are attempting to make the living room just that. We packed up the china and hutch and put them into storage, we move the giant roll top desk to where my sewing area use to be, we move the gun cabinet and ammo dresser to the bed room. Whew, we are both just exhausted as we had to move the bedroom all around to make room for the gun cabinet.

I took apart the vintage 70's press board TV cabinet and threw it away and move my Lane chest beneath the TV and put the Blue ray and satellite on top.

Ok, it just keeps going on but we are exhausted and our house is starting to come back together. It did look like a bomb went off most of the day.

 

[PurpleEars]

Ah yes...a long arm is the way to go for a Queen size...just look out! They are very addictive and very expensive. The one I covet is about $30,000; the one I have is only about $5,000.

Nini

Yowza! I knew long arms aren't cheap, but I didn't realize they could cost that much! I think I am sticking with my little sewing machine for now (want to cure my case of hoop envy first!). It's not the first time I have done a quilt that size on that machine, so I am sure I can make it work.

Your quilt came out beautiful! And great idea to digitize the signatures. You could sell those files easily if you were every interested.

Thanks. I don't plan to sell the signature files since I am not 100% happy with them yet. However, I am willing to share the files if people wanted them for their personal projects.

I do that too!!!! Just praying that nothing gets stuck or anything!! lol - all it takes is 1 look away and BAM it eats your shirt!!!!!

I guess I am the odd one here. I often go and do something else while my machine embroiders away. Mind you, I do that with my stand mixer too. I just let it mix away while I get the ingredients for the next step. I think my machine ate one thing on me so far (my custom skirt for my last trip - speaking of which, I should find and share pictures of it).

Please...somebody stop me!

I just counted, and I have 23 shirts 3 dresses left and 14 days to finish. And what do I do...I take a REAL look at the new Rosetta Ruffle Bag....I REALLY WANT IT! I can just see it in Minnie colors. Could be a perfect park bag...
So...to all you testers...how long does it take to make?

It looks like I could probably knock one out in an afternoon devoted to just sewing.

I mean I NEED it...right?


Nini

A girl can always use a new bag, right? Thanks to your post I actually went and looked at it. Yup, I can see it in Minnie colours as well. Maybe it will be the new Disboutiquers bag!

I'm thinking about making a Minnie style top and am just wondering where you guys get the pretty minnie dot fabric in red and white? The only place around here to buy fabric is Waldemort. Is there a good place online for fabric that's not super expensive?

Thanks!

I got mine from Joann Fabrics online. They have them at 40% off quite often. Also, a free shipping coupon shouldn't be hard to come by.

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.

Those are really nice shirts. I am sorry to hear that your son can't join you. It is really generous of you to offer the shirt to others.

And here she is..

We went out and bought a brand new Babylock Ellegante 2!
I was having troubles with my other machine, and I just begged hubby to let me jump to the 12 by 7 hoop.
I'm just tickled to have Babylock serger sitting next to a Babylock embroidery machine. It feels meant to be!
It stitches like a dream. I'm amazed by the threading on it. I don't even have to put my fingers anywhere near the needle. It's like ninja threading.
Here's the first design I stitched out on her.

Only 9 more princesses to go..

Wow, congrats on your new toy. Belle stitched out very nicely. Now I think my case of hoop envy just went up a notch!

Never posted here before, but thought you might enjoy my DD's fairy costume.
Because she uses a wheelchair, we were trying to come up with a costume that would be easy on and off, plus keep her from sitting on a bumpy skirt.
We settled on an apron design. The skirt is made of individual flower petals - 2 different colors of thin satin, some voile with iridescent 'dew drops', voile over satin and purple veiling.
EDITED TO ADD - Tulle ---- that's the name of "Veiling" that I was thinking of.

The bodice part is made of a light purple printed cotton with embroidered soft satin for the neck part. The waistband is denim that had colored shiny splashes.
Instead of ties on the back, I made the apron strings very short on one side and go all the way around on the other side like a belt. Then we added strings to the short side and loops on the other to tie the 'apron' on without her having a bump on the back to sit against all night.

She also had wings, made by her sister, who is an artist.

The wings attached to her wheelchair as shown in the picture. She wore a fuschia long sleeve tee shirt and a pair of capri pants under the fairy apron.
Anyway, thought it might give you some ideas for something for a child who is in a wheelchair.

Sue, thanks for sharing the pictures. The apron is a great idea!

I have to share a cute little story from my shopping adventures this weekend. I was at Fabricland (they had a 50% off sale) and I overheard a little girl complaining to her mom, "there are no toys in this store!" Another woman helpfully said, "no dear, this is a toy store for moms." I thought that was great.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I am so excited. I bought tickets today to take my DGDs to the Nutcracker Ballet in December. Anyone have any inspiration for me for customs because you know they HAVE to have some.

Have a wonderful time and enjoy, it is the perfect Christmas time event.

Hey Friends!!

Well, Im all packed and ready to go to Disneyland!!!

Have a magical time Wendy/

I found this adorable dress on Etsy, it is made from a mens dress shirt and buttons up the back...anyone know how to do this? I was thinking maybe I could play with the Portrait Peasant pattern to get this...but I haven't used that pattern yet. Any ideas or tips would be great.

Thanks, Erika

I don't know but what a super idea.

Just curious as I am considering purchasing a used embroidery machine... did you buy it through a shop and/or was it recently serviced? My local shop has put me in contact with another customer who is upgrading her machine. My shop has serviced it and checked stitch count etc and gave it the A-okay! I was so excited as the shop owner told me I should expect to pay about $2500. Problem is, when the machine owner called me she said she was selling it for $3500. Plus she said it had been used commercially for almost 900 hours. Yikes, that seems like a lot. I think I will wait for the next trade-up. I am going to stop by the shop today and talk to the owner. I was just so surprised by the extra thousand bucks as the shop owner told me she consults with the machine owners on what they should charge. And when she said I should expect to pay $2500, she was talking about a hobby use machine as I told her I didnt want one that had been used commercially. I know it is in the shop owners best interest for her customers to unload the used machines b/c she told me they wont purchase the newer $15,000+ machines until they sell their old machines. Sorry for the rant, just wondering a little more about your situation.

I did buy a used machine and have not one single problem yet. The first thing I did was bring it to the shop for a checkup. I have a brother 4000D from Ebay.

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!

Enjoy the ballet and again a perfect Christmas event.

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

I watched when I was doing a Big Give and it ate both Wendy and Bill's shirts the minute I walked away! Lately I have been walking away but I was only doing squares. For shirts I stay.

I'm thinking about making a Minnie style top and am just wondering where you guys get the pretty minnie dot fabric in red and white? The only place around here to buy fabric is Waldemort. Is there a good place online for fabric that's not super expensive?

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

Very cute shirts Ellen! Sorry you son won't be joining you. I will go and check your blog.

Ninja Threading...lol I love the auto threader and it does save time. Sometimes mine just don't thread but it usually poor quality thread. She is beautiful as is the shirt!

Hi Sue! I am sew happy you can over here for a bit. I love your forum and it really helps so many folks. The apron is clever idea and your DD looked super in it. Love the wings and how you can do so much with just a bit of creativity. Thinking out of the box.

Ok Ladies,

I need a cow. Yep a cow. I need to embroider cows on towels for my neice who is going to college next year(I still can't believe she is old enough to go to college). I looked at Ms HeatherSue and did not see any cow designs. Who has one? I want a kind of cutsy looking one.

Any suggestions?

I first read this and thought, Ok, I have a cow to sell if she really wants one.

She is doing great in Pre-K class, no trouble for the teacher. She is still wild and has meltdowns!! She goes to occupational therapy and speech, at a private clinic, for one hour each, once a week. She receives speech twice a week at school and OT once a month at school. DGS2 is also seeing the priviate OT and speech pathologist for the same amount of time. One goes to OT while the other one is in speech and then they trade places with the therapists.

On a brighter note: Our trip to WDW in July with her was probably the best one yet!! We got a GAC and had her and her brothers strollers tagged as wheelchairs. The wheelchair tag was a life saver. She was able to have her own personal space, where no one was bumping into her, when we had to wait in lines. We only had 1 meltdown in the parks the whole trip. We didn't even have to buckle her in her stroller. All we had to say was get in your space and she would get back into her stroller to wait.

Thanks for asking about her. How is Miss M doing?

the GAC does make all the difference as does the stroller as a wheelchair. DS is now in a Liberty by Advance and he does so much better having his own space and the shield to pull down.

Wish I had the time to do it, but really busy between work and some other things I'm doing. I've been lurking at times here and on the MAW thread on the disABILITIES Board. I think what you all do is amazing and I've seen the threads where people post about opening all the boxes of Give stuff!

I'm willing to give technical assistance though if you want ideas for Big Gives that involve wheelchairs.
Here's a picture of DD visiting Rosetta

We put solar lights on DD's wheelchair when we go to WDW. It adds a 'touch of whimsy', but is also a conversation piece and useful for helping people see the wheelchair in the dark.
So, I think lights are a great idea.

That is just a sweet photo. I hope DD had a wonderful time. I have a pattern for an organizer for the back of wheelchair if you need it or for anyone to use. Just PM me.

LOL...when we moved to Germany, I was on US time for weeks!

When we came back it took almost 2 months! Good Luck!

Nini

Nini, I so should be an ex pat. I love Germany and want to move there in the worst way. I was nearly into a deep depression after coming home last month because I was sooo happy there.

Massive miagraine so if this doesn't sound right but I just need to know how long I can make things so nothing gets caught in the wheels. I also think I might be able to do a costume blanket. I thought she might like lights as we all need sparkle.

Hope the migraines get better. Do you have an RX you can take? I like Maxolot under the tongue.

I mentioned to DH that I might like a Brother Embroidery machine and he surprised me by researching and ordering me one. I am not sure of the model he won't show me which one the stinker.

Just wondering what is a good resource for thread and stabilizer.

Thanks.

Congrats on the machine, don't forget to post pictures. I can't wait to see what you get.

Rats! Yes we lived in Germany for two years. Was supposed to be three years, but my second son had to be medivaced home after 2 years...thought he had a neuroblastoma, but we were very fortunate.

This is the first year in 25 years that we haven't done Black Friday. It is really strange, but I am still searching through all the sales...some habits die hard. Be at 3 am Saturday morning for Disney.)
Nini

Nini, I am so happy your son is ok and it turned out to have a happy ending. Again, I love Germany the German people and the country. I had a blast at Volksfest and touring S. Germany. Ludwig was completely mad that is for true but the palaces he built! WOW I just loved all of them.

I think we are going to skip BF other than going in Thanksgiving nite to get the Mac touches for the kids at TRU.

 

[SueM in MN]

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.

Sue, where do you put the lights? Do you have a photo? I am looking for some unique ideas for Andrew's chair on our upcoming trip.

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.

 

[BeachMama13]

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.

I love the idea of lights on the wheelchair! Would be cute for a stroller as well. Going to have to store that in the 'ol noggin for future use!

You might have to be a little more careful with placement with a stroller since you still need to be able to fold it.
DD's wheelchair doesn't fold and anyway, she is in it all the time since she can't sit well out of it.

 

[erikawolf2004]

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.

Front view

and a very happy girl that is very very excited about all her fun clotshes and going on this trip in 18 days

I love the funny face These both came out really cool, especially like the twirl skirt....need to do one of these soon. Post the tee with the skirt when you get it done.

 

[MyDisneyTrio]

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!

 

[*Toadstool*]

Ok now you are just being mean! You KNOW you were supposed to come here

And I never have anyone to go to BF shopping with. (Of course I have considered hiring a body guard LOL)

BF shopping.. I totally am thinking boyfriend shopping.

Why is it we worker harder on the weekends than during the week? Today we moved our furniture from the living room to the different areas and my sewing area is now in a better and different area.

We are attempting to make the living room just that. We packed up the china and hutch and put them into storage, we move the giant roll top desk to where my sewing area use to be, we move the gun cabinet and ammo dresser to the bed room.

Ok, it just keeps going on but we are exhausted and our house is starting to come back together. It did look like a bomb went off most of the day.

Ugh! I hate moving furniture.. reminds me of actual moving way too much. Sounds like you will have more space now though. I live in a small house so I have space issues. I should totally get rid of some furniture. I don't use alot of it.

Yowza! I knew long arms aren't cheap, but I didn't realize they could cost that much! I think I am sticking with my little sewing machine for now (want to cure my case of hoop envy first!). It's not the first time I have done a quilt that size on that machine, so I am sure I can make it work.
I have to share a cute little story from my shopping adventures this weekend. I was at Fabricland (they had a 50% off sale) and I overheard a little girl complaining to her mom, "there are no toys in this store!" Another woman helpfully said, "no dear, this is a toy store for moms." I thought that was great.

You could always get one of the higher end embroidery machines.. they have a deeper throat which makes it easier to quit because you have more space.
There are also quilting services.. I'm totally getting someone to quilt my quilt when I make one. They can do pretty much any pattern you want and it's pretty affordable.
Too cute about the story.. but I totally want to go to fabricland! never heard of that!

Ninja Threading...lol I love the auto threader and it does save time. Sometimes mine just don't thread but it usually poor quality thread.

Does yours do the threading where you don't have to go anywhere near the needle with your hands? like... you pass it through the top and it cuts the thread and the robotic arm threads it through the needle? I'm wondering if they brothers do it too or if it is a Babylock thing.. like the threading on their sergers. I am seriously amazed by it.
I will cry if mine ever breaks. So far it works perfectly. It is different than the auto threader on my old brother... but it is old. I should totally video it.

Very pretty!

Beautiful!!!
If it helps any.. Feliz does get easier the more times you sew it. First time is a big learning experience on that dress imo.

 

[WyomingMomof6]

I thought I'd finally post some pictures from our trip. The first night we went to DTD and had dinner at T-Rex because we were going to be doing an awful lot of princess stuff while at the parks. Connor loved it but honestly it probably wasn't the best place to eat when you are tired and jet-lagged! It is very loud!

The next day we went to Sea World. The kids got lots of attention because apparently there are very few custom outfits ever seen at SW.

Shamu's fan club!

They had these cute Halloween fish everywhere!

Our first day at WDW was at the MK. Alexa was going to get a princess makeover at BBB so I scheduled Connor to get a knight makeover. He got a lot of attention with all of the confetti in his hair. One of the CMs said he looked like Tinkerbelle whacked him in the head with her wand!

Here they are with Snow White.

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