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

[Granna4679]

Well friends after much discussion and a hard look at money we have decided to not do the platinum plan in February. We are still going for DH conference and we are going to arrive late Friday nite, stay someplace cheap, then go to the Dolphin, where the conference is and check in Sat. morning. DD will be flying in an hour later than our flight Friday nite. We really wanted to see her and enjoy our limited time with her so we are going to cancel the plan and just play with the kids in the park. The plan can wait for a better time when I have extra $$ to play.

So we still get to be in Disney, Mom is flying in Monday nite for her first time in Disney, we get DD for the weekend. All is good.

Oh sorry your plans have changed but looks like you will have a great time with DD.

Love everything...especially those buttons.


OK...need to vent Everything I touch today I keep screwing up. I was making Tshirts for our upcoming trip and as I was trimming the stabilizer I wasn't paying attention and cut the shirt Luckily it is small enough that I can fix, but it will bug me because I will know it is there.

Then I was embroidering a towel for a friend of mine and I forgot to adjust the layout, so now it is sideways.

I think I just need to go to bed and start over in the morning.

I hate when things go wrong like that. Don't feel bad, I was making kitchen towels for Christmas presents too....and I have a few that are facing the wrong way...

You can do it girl!!! Almost done!!!



So Cute!!! I love Carla's patterns, even if I have a question, I just ask her and she always answers!!

Hey everyone - we may have an oppurtunity to help in a very big way. One of our own Dis'ers lost her husband in the earthquake in Haiti. It is her and her daughters goal to provide small snuggly blankets to a new orphanage that will open up in January of 2012! They are just looking for simple 1 yard/single layer blankets with finished edges (fringe or whatever) for the children to feel snuggly with. I'll let you know when all the details are together - it will be posted on the Big Give Board too!!!!!! This will help our friend and her little girl work through their grief as they know that they will be helping children in Haiti as their husband/daddy went to do!!!!! This will be so cool for us!!!!!!!


PS - dont forget the shipping date for Emily's Big Give is 12/7!!!!

Sounds like a great thing for us to do! I am in...love making kid blankets!

I just posted my Big Give outfits and shirts for Emily. Please send me the address.

 

[teresajoy]

I finished my first ever skirt. It took me a long time to get this skirt done but I am proud of myself for following through. DD already wants another one. First though I am going to put together the skirt for my nieces Christmas present.

I also want to make a shirt to go with this skirt. It will be something Belle

Here is the skirt. Pardon my daughters expression I did get her out of bed

[/IMG]

i had a few problems with the pattern I used it wasn't the clearest so the next skirt can only get better.

Very cute!!! I like the waistband on that! What pattern is it?

You can do it girl!!! Almost done!!!

I'm very excited about this! So, the blankets can be finished anyway we like? (non fringe?)

 

[cogero]

I chose it for my first skirt because it didn't have a real waist band. Also it was in the Tween section on YCMT which I thought was good since my daughter is 9.

I did adjust the sizing slightly after measuring DD's hips since hers only measure 25 inches LOL

Yoke Skirt Pattern

Now that I know how to do it I am going to make one for my niece this weekend for her Christmas Present.

 

[McDuck]

Jen - super cute! I love both of them. Kaity is going to be so cute in all of her customs! Can't wait to see the pictures.

Thank you. I have to say she LOVES them all. I never knew a 13-month old could be so patient trying clothes on (to check the hems---I would have snapped pictures but we put them over existing clothes and they clashed! LOL). She would instantly prance out to the living room to show Daddy and Poppa.

Love everything...especially those buttons.

Those dresses are so cute! Those Mickey buttons look great!

Thanks!

Great fabric choices! Is that a knit waistband?

Bad Momma reporting in! Went to BBB and CRT yesterday...and ...I...forgot...my ...camera!!!!!

The weather has been beautiful so far. A cold front is coming in today. We hit 80 yesterday...and only 65 today! Tonight we go to Akershus. Hopefully I can actually get some pictures tonight of the girls in their dresses.

Strangely, I have seen relatively few customs here this week. I did see 2 little girls with Minnie skirts and shirts today, but their mom bought them off ebay. Of course, I really need to get a picture of the Minnie bag I made my DIL out of Carla C's Ruffled bag. Each day we have at least 20 people complimenting us on her bag, and asking where we bought it. Today someone asked me where I got the pattern, so I pointed her to YCMT.

It is official. My DD10 will never wear another custom after this trip! She absolutely HATES wearing them now, and her attitude tells me she is really going to be a problem child when she gets to the teen years! But, I didn't pack her anything else to wear, so she is stuck. She keeps asking me if I can call someone to drive down and pick her up! Poor child, being forced to enjoy Disney!

I've seen you post a couple of times about the ruffled bag and how many comments you are getting, so last night I made one in the largest size. That thing is HUGE!! DH thinks it is way over the top and I somewhat agree, but I am going to bring it along, thinking I will use it to carry DGD clothes for BBB and possibly other days when we have a lot of extra layers to carry. (It is going to be cold...) Anyway, I will try to remember to post a picture of the bag later and see what you guys think.

Less than 24 hours to go before we head out to the Buffalo airport. They were snowed in in Buffalo yesterday, but the roads are open again now, so here's to hoping no more heavy snow until we get out of there. It was perfectly clear here yesterday, and parts of Buffalo got over 2 feet of snow!!

It is really big! But DIL is using it as a "we-don't-need-a-diaperbag-but-we-need-something-similar" bag. Our GD is 3 and only 99.99% potty trained! It is great for carrying all her 'stuff'. We put snacks, first aid kit, meds etc in plastic baggies and it makes going through bag check really easy. She has an emergency panty changing kit in one plastic baggie, and another baggie with a change of clothes.

Everything you need for a day away from home. For me, the biggest one is too big for a daily bag, but for a park bag it works great. On one for me, I would make the straps a bit longer to put on the stroller handlebars, but she prefers to have the smaller straps.

Ellen...if you have any business cards...take them! I could kick myself for not taking them with us!

Great to have the first one under your belt (so to speak ). It looks great.

My son lives in Queens. I know it's a big place. He had jury duty last week and said New Jersey is closer to him as the crow flies than Kew Gardens where he had jury duty. (Sure made me feel old to think my son was called for jury duty!)

Have a wonderful, amazing, memory filled time at WDW. I heard on the news that part of the thruway was closed due to the storm, but is now reopened. I went to school in Syracuse and it was ALWAYS snowing.

Thanks for the suggestion, will have to see if I have time to print something up quick to use for cards.

Our DGD is turning 4 on this trip and will need lots of stuff too, so between DDIL and I the bag will come in handy, but it will defintiely stand out!

Thanks! BTW, my oldest son turned 25 today so I know what you mean about feeling old! My oldest stepson is 32, but since I am not really old enough to be his mother that one doesn't bother me the same!

 

[cogero]

Thank you everyone. DH was getting sick of me Twittering to everyone about doing the gathers. Told me it was supposed to be fun.

My grandma was a professional seamstress and could make anything without a pattern. So this was a real accomplishment for me especially since my Mom is in Ecuador and Peru right now and if she had been home I might of given up and asked her to do it.

I am going to try and run this week to get DD some leggins for under her skirts since it will be Christmas.

Queens is big. I live almost to the Nassau County Border. I have lived here all my life but we are beginning to gear up for a big move south when DH retires in 3 years.

 

[HeatherSue]

I wanted to pop in and let you all know that

WE HAVE A NEW BIG GIVE!!

Please stop by and make this trip extra special for 12 year old Wendy and her family! The ship date is January 7, so this one will have to be a quick one! Thank you all so much for your generosity!

Just a word of caution about handing out your card at WDW, you can get in trouble for this. WDW does not allow "soliciting".

Question for those of you who use Embird

I am relatively new to embroidery machines and am trying to find something that is relatively inexpensive, I can expand as needed, etc.

At this stage, I really just want to be able to take the fonts that I buy, string them together into words, and embroider/applique the words. Can I do this with the basic module or do I need one of the add-ons?

Thanks!!!

You could do that with Embird basic. But, Embird Basic is pretty pricey for what you get. I'd go with Stitch Era to do something simple like that.

I saw Tangled a few days ago and I loveed it!
Has anyone made Rapunzel's dress yet?

I've seen a few Rapunzel dresses made from a modified portrait peasant dress. They've all been really cute! I haven't seen any "authentic" dresses, though!

Thank you so much! I just got a Tangled dress for $7.99!!!!!::

Yay!! I'm so glad someone was able to use it. I SO wanted to get that dress. But, it wouldn't fit Tessa and she wouldn't wear it anyway.

Birthday Shirt...

This is the shirt I embroidered for DS to wear to school yesterday. The design is from Heather Sue. I used Black Yellow and Blue to go with his Jimmie Johnson Jacket.

This is DS in the shirt. He had just woken up in this picture

What a cutie pie! I love the shirt, too.

Ok....my DGDs DID NOT need anything else for Christmas but you know I can't pass up a bargain. I wanted the Rapunzel but it was already sold out but I got 3 others....they will love them. Can't beat $7.99 each!!

I have been out of pocket and trying to finish up several projects this week. I think I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel I wanted to tell everyone (since I can't go back and multiquote everything)...that you have all been making some adorable things. I love all of the Big Give items. It is such a wonderful thing to put aside your own holiday activities to brighten someone else's life. This is one SUPER group of people!! I am soooooo blessed to have found you all and become part of such a loving, caring, group!

I'm glad you were able to get in on this deal!

I totally agree with you about this group of people! I've met such wonderful women on this board.

I wanted to say that I love everything that has been posted, I have just been busy getting ready for our trip so haven't been posting much.

We leave Sat morning for 7 nights at Disney!!:
Friday (tomorrow) night my work (Kodak) is offering a free showing of Tangled, so I got us 3 tickets for me, DH, and DGD to go see that while DDIL and DS are at a work holiday party. So we need to finish up packing tonight since we won't be able to do much tomorrow night with the movie and babysitting!

I have also been making Christmas gifts and trying to plan and get ready for the holidays. DH put the lights up outside, but we won't put the tree up and the rest of the inside decorations until we get back.

Can't wait to get to Disney!!

Woo-hoo!!! Have a wonderful time on your trip, Ellen!! I hope you like Tangled, too. I loved it! Teresa and I are going tonight with our kids (she hasn't seen it yet)!

I've been lurking (and greatly admiring) as I've finished up the customs for our trip. I'm finally done!!!!

Here are the last two customs!

For Animal Kingdom:

The skirt photographed funny, it really isn't wonky.
Close up:

Full disclosure, my mom handsewed about 7/8 of the braid on for me. I pinned it and started it and she finished it during the Saints game on Thanksgiving.

And Mickey themed jumper:

Close up:

Have to thank Adi for gifting us with the Mickey buttons!

I have a soft book to make for the trip, and then a pincushion for a gift for my book club's secret santa, then I'm done sewing til we get back. Then I am tackling my first Feliz for Kaity's Christmas dress!

Thanks so much to everyone for being great inspiration, pointing me towards great patterns, and just all around being great people!

These are both so cute!! I especially love the "I Heart Mickey" one. Too sweet!

I actually got to the part where I clicked to purchase it twice but then got an error message. I wanted 4 as wll but only three were in stock. I called as well and got a message telling to me to try again later. Grrr! Oh, well!

Scratch all that! I just checked order status on JcPenny's site and one of them did so through. So did get three of them

Yay!!!

I think I just need to go to bed and start over in the morning.

I know the feeling! I've done the same thing more times than I care to count (cutting a hole in a shirt). On the bright side, it can lead to creative placement of extra appliques (to cover said hole)!

slowly but surely the disney sewing is getting done.
Chip and Dale Simply Sweet (X2) DONE.
Christmas Patchwork Simply Sweet #1 Getting attached to bodice

3 Portrait Peasants need elastic and gathering
2 Patchwork skirts need constructed (bodices are finished THANKS JHAM)

2 pair of Easy fits need cut out, freezer stencils and sewn

We need pictures, lady!!!

You did a nice job on this skirt! I like the knit waistband. I think that would be nice for kids that are sensitive to textures. Your daughter is a cutie- straight out of bed or not!

Hey everyone - we may have an oppurtunity to help in a very big way. One of our own Dis'ers lost her husband in the earthquake in Haiti. It is her and her daughters goal to provide small snuggly blankets to a new orphanage that will open up in January of 2012! They are just looking for simple 1 yard/single layer blankets with finished edges (fringe or whatever) for the children to feel snuggly with. I'll let you know when all the details are together - it will be posted on the Big Give Board too!!!!!! This will help our friend and her little girl work through their grief as they know that they will be helping children in Haiti as their husband/daddy went to do!!!!! This will be so cool for us!!!!!!!


PS - dont forget the shipping date for Emily's Big Give is 12/7!!!!

I think this program is going to be so neat! It's great for people who don't do a lot of sewing, too!

Thanks for the info, and I really am not in the market for making stuff to sell much these days anyway. But if someone asks for my info I will be willing to give them my etsy id. So having it already written down will be handy, but I certainly won't be going around handing out business cards!

Here are a few pictures of the ruffled bag I made.
Here it is laying on the bed:

And hanging on the doorknob:

And with me holding it to get a perspective of how big it is, although this isn't a very good picture since I had to take it of myself, and the flash conveniently wiped out my face, lol:

Holy Moly!! That is a huge bag but I Love it! I bought the pattern yesterday but I think I will go for the middle size just for everyday. If someone has made that size, I would love to see the comparison I am going to try and make a couple for Christmas presents.

Can anyone (Heather, Theresa, Wendy ) send me the address for Emily's Big Give. I realllllllyyyyyyy want to get this in the mail today before the PO closes since I will not be able to take it tomorrow. PLEASE?? I posted pics on the Big Give but haven't gotten a PM with address yet!

This skirt is really cute, it looks great on your DD. I found that when I get a pattern I like, I tend to make changes that make it easier for me, or that I prefer. I have a skirt pattern I love to use. Instead of making it skirt and slip, I put them together as one item, for example. It will get easier as you get the hang of it. Now aren't you glad Mom is away?

What is Disney going to do if you hand someone your email? I would think security or management would need to witness it personally. A regular ole CM just doesn't pay attention, or have the gumption to say anything anyway. Look at the whole stinkin mug situation. People bring in mugs to use that are so old, the color is worn off them, and no one stops them from getting refills. Unless you walked around randomly handing out your card to anyone that walked by, I wouldn't even worry about it.

The bag is great. Remember a "few" years back, Disney came out with the gigundo Minnie bag? I think it was the size of yours or bigger. They were a huge hit.

Just sharing info from my personal experience.

 

[jeniamt]

It is really big! But DIL is using it as a "we-don't-need-a-diaperbag-but-we-need-something-similar" bag. Our GD is 3 and only 99.99% potty trained! It is great for carrying all her 'stuff'. We put snacks, first aid kit, meds etc in plastic baggies and it makes going through bag check really easy. She has an emergency panty changing kit in one plastic baggie, and another baggie with a change of clothes.

Everything you need for a day away from home. For me, the biggest one is too big for a daily bag, but for a park bag it works great. On one for me, I would make the straps a bit longer to put on the stroller handlebars, but she prefers to have the smaller straps.

Ellen...if you have any business cards...take them! I could kick myself for not taking them with us!


Nini

WE NEED PHOTOS!!!!

.

The bag is really cool but this picture cracks me up! Forget the stroller, you could carry a large toddler in it! I would never guess it was that big by just looking at... took this photo give me perspective!

On another note, boy I am having trouble getting ADR's for our trip. I know its less than 2 months away but still!!!
