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

[billwendy]

Cute shirts. It looks like you have mastered your new machine!



Wendy - I was hoping to get to Fabricland at lunch today to pick up some Tink fabric but it didn't happen (it could be dangerous when work is a 5 min walk from the fabric store!). I was sitting here this evening and I decided I can do a couple of bibs! I should be able to get them done this weekend. I like your idea of sending them GKTW given the potential border transit issue. Do you know if they will hold a package for a family if it arrives say a week before they get there?




Very cute costume - it makes me want to go back to Studios to see Muppets 3D again! I hope you recover quickly.

They absolutely will hold a package!!! Someone else volunteered to do a bib too, so that will be nice for the little guy to have more than 1!!! They are also going to IOA and SW!!!! THAnks so much!!!

You can't post something like that and not show us then! I can't wait to see tomorrow!

So, if we are posting but not showing tonight, I have made:

4 gingerbread men
4 vacation people
3 pooh and friends (#4 is coming)
4 little mermaid (Ariel is still coming)
2 beauty and the beast (cogsworth still coming)

I am EXHAUSTED! Oh, did I mention that I did those in the past 2 days! LOL! Off to make a few skirts and maybe hack at the last 4 shirts I have left.

WOOOAAAHHHH!!! You are AMAZING JESSICA!!!!!! I did 1 Figment shirt tonight - lol!!!! Thats it!!!

What is Pixie Dust as far as the Big Gives?

 

[SueM in MN]

Lots of neat stuff since I posted last!

Where can I get some pink balloons to release at Disney? We have gotten permission for a very small balloon release on the anniversary of Little Helen becoming an angel, but I need to know where I can get some pink balloons while we are there. We are staying at CSR. And the day in question we will be at Animal Kingdom (no balloon release there) and having dinner at Chef Mickey's. That night we will be at Epcot for yet another Illuminations viewing. We aren't 100% sure where the release will happen, but Disney has given us a couple of suggestions.

So...where can we find non Disney specific pink balloons?


Nini

If you have a party store near you, you should be able to get some plain pink balloons. That way, if you can't find anything pink at WDW, maybe you can get them to fill your pink balloons with helium.

We leave in exactly 7 days and I have 0 things sewn. I have some stuff cut out and patchwork strips sewn together but NOTHING finished. Can you all send me some of your sew-jo? Fortunately my MIL and I will work in tandem (as usual) to get both girls outfits done but UNFORTUNATELY some items have had to see the chopping block.

The fashion itinerary
MVMCP-patchwork twirl jumpers (Simply Sweet) w/ Minnie Dot Portrait Peasants (wish I had time to make little bloomers for under these)
MK- Little wants a Cinderella dress....we'll see.
Epcot- wearing the portrait peasants from the Christmas outfits.
DHS- GOT CHOPPED
AK- Stripwork twirl skirts w/ Button Minnie Head tees. (this wasn't the original plan but Little saw me making a button tee for a customer and wanted one )
Campfire Singalong- Chip and Dale Simply Sweet knotted jumpers w/ yummy organic cotton e-z fits.

If I dont' come up w/ something simple for our MK day and a Cinderella dress is out of the question then I will MAYBE cut into my super special Japanese theme park fabric....MAYBE. I hate to waste it on something plain and easy LOL.

[MinnieVanMom]

okay I did my first applique tonight. We are having a little birthday party for my little guy. He turns 3 on Tuesday but the inlaws are coming tomorrow for pizza and cake and DH is stuck working overtime on Tuesday and I would really like to go to the support group at DS school.

It is one of the things I love about his school they really reach out to the whole family. He has PDD-NOS.

think I am going to look online for some fabric. I decided I want to try and make bibs for my disabled nephew for Christmas.

will show you the shirt tomorrow.

I am so glad that you are enjoying your new machine. Our son has autism and it helps when others reach out. I can't wait to see the shirt.

Aww, Wendy! I feel you pain on part of all that, literally! I'm taking a break from sewing because I just smashed my right pointer finger on my machine too!!! Do you know how hard it is to type without that finger? I think you got it worse though, I'm not bleeding, but I can feel my heartbeat in it, lol.

How did Billy's computer get hacked? That's pretty scary.

Lol - OUCH!!! Mine is my left pointer finger and I do know how hard it is to type

He plays an online game called World of Warcraft, and he thinks its through that - it was his online account that got hacked, he told me it doesnt affect the rest of his computer thank goodness!!!!!!

Thinking of you Wendy! I did that once... only once.... removed the needle and stitches myself with tweezers and went on from there. I did get blood on the fabric though - it was a bummer.

I hope your day gets better

Thanks!!!

I feel you today!!! I cut my chin this morning monogramming!!! I had the scissors in my hand, my DS came into the sewing room to ask me a question. I turned and hit a button and the scissors snapped back and slice went my chin!!! No shirts ruined and a pretty bandaid later and I was back in business!!!

UPDATE!!! Allisons waist is 28.5" and general skirt length is no shorter than 16.5"....will it work?????????

PERFECT!!! It was as if it was meant to be!!! It is ready to mail. The skirt is a finished 18 inches and the waist is elastic with room. I just need a full name and address and it will go out Monday morning!

UGH! Lin plays that game. It would be okay, but he thinks the game is more important then us! Atleast I think he does! Lin bought some thing so you had to enter a code due to the game being hacked. It was like $6 or something. I told him it was a gimmick, but who knows.

Cute T's! I LOVE your son's pj's. He looks so cute in them. I went to buy them today for Dallas and they show available online but wouldn't let me put them in my cart. I am even more bummed now that I see how cute they are! I was only getting them because I was ordering other things and he loves all his pj's like that!

[Diz-Mommy]

Just came back from Joann fabric store - spent $85, saved $200.27 according to the reciept! I got about 23 yrds of various flannels and about 15 yrds of holiday fabrics! BOGO free thread and the big SULKY embroidery thread too. Barely had to wait to get my fabric cut too! And they took the 20% coupon that was suppose to be good only til noon!

That's awesome, my Jo-Anns was beyond busy. I had a cart full of beautiful flannel prints, but I had to leave it because the wait was just too long. I still feel like crying about it. On the up side, that was the first time I got to see the new shop. It's really nice and carries a TON of cool stuff. I can't wait to go back again someday, hopefully when it isn't crawling with people. Seriously, I grabbed a number for the cutting table while I was still browsing and picking up various bolts of fabrics...when I gave up on waiting they were calling I90 and my ticket was A30

Has anyone seen a sewing pattern for a kids' blanket that has a plush dog head?

My son fell in love with this kids' blanket that was made of fleece, and it had a stuffed dog head and possibly paws on the other edges, but I didn't look close enough at it to tell. They had them rolled up, so the blanket looked like the dog's body. The head sort of reminded me of Pound Puppies. I thought it looked easy enough to make, so I didn't buy one, but now I'm wishing I just woulda bought it because I'm having a hard time finding a pattern...UGG! I found the fleece they used at Jo-Anns...if it's still there after yesterdays madness
