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

[cogero]

Ok! I DID it!

This is just fabulous.

THey are turning out GREAT!!! Good Job!!




How's everyones to do list coming? Im hoping to get an Eagles and Phillies fleece embroidered tonight and have some fringe to cut. If I still have time I need to embroider Buzz on Tim's blanket!

Not to bad. I wrapped all the presents tonite and was able to applique 2 shirts for DS so he is up to 3. I need to work on HeatherSue's Secret Agent Oso Applique for him.

I am also now thinking he needs a Beast to go with DD's Belle Shirt and skirt for our Akerhaus dinner.

Tuesday was Animal Kingdom day and we had an 8:15am breakfast at Tusker House. It was only about 30 degrees this morning so our matching tees and outfit were all covered up!

But inside we were able to take off the jackets and at least see the outfits during breakfast.

Brrrrr!

We just got back from 10 days at Disney!! It was a fun trip -- COLD for most of the days and like Ellen said....we had jackets covering up their shirts and outfits!!! But at least we could take off the jackets inside.

It was a fantastic trip! We stayed at the Poly and loved it!!!

The step sisters LOVED DS's shirt! They fought over him and Anastasia planted a big old pink lipstick kiss on his cheek.

Lady Tremaine wasn't too excited about DD's dress.

Ok! I DID it! My daughter asked me last Thursday to make her a nightgown for PJ day @ school. Now, I've only ever sewn Easy Fits, but when she asked I just couldn't turn down those cute little eyes. She even had it all planned out with what she wanted me to applique on it! So I bought all of Heathersue's princesses and got to sewing and here is the finished product--just in time! PJ day is tomorrow! Bella loves it and I am so proud of myself. I am also SO thankful to you guys. I never really had a hobby that I enjoyed doing or that I found rewarding other than reading. I've had this machine for 2 years but I only really got it to hem and maybe monogram stuff. But, then I found this board and through your encouragement I tried one pattern and then another and now I feel so confident in myself! THANK YOU!
Erica

Great job! You should be really proud of yourself- but be prepared, this is super addicting LOL!

I really, really love the park outfits that have been posted, and the small world designs, and everything else!

 

[ireland_nicole]

I've been super busy- but then aren't we all? I'm almost done with the FSL ornaments, and I've finished a few Christmas things too.

First is a Tshirt for DS per request, Santa Pluto:

Next, DD wanted a Christmas outfit but not red and green, pref. w/ pink- here's what I came up with:

the pic isn't great, I'll try to get a better one w/ her in it; it's the gored skirt from Indigo Junction and I got the embroidery design from Etsy

Then I made DD a doll carrier and quilt for the bitty baby grandma is getting her for Christmas- I want to make some matching outfits for the doll w/ the scraps, but not sure I'll get to that before Christmas... The doll carrier is the one on YCMT w/ some modifications to make it fit a 15 inch doll; the pattern was super easy and quick- I'll definitely make more. The quilt is one I started at a beginner piecing class. Yeah, I am a really lousy quilter...

And just for fun, my Christmas present from my mom- sligtly OT, but Cute!

MinnieVanMom - way to go on the tickets!!!! my DH surprised me one year with tickets to see him in WestPalmBeach FL, it was an small outside venue on a grassy hill...everyone had blankets, food, wine, etc. very laid back and the best concert I've ever been too, enjoy!

I love all the new outfits they are so dang adorable!

Love the smolder!!!! And, is that you! I love seeing pictures of people!! All your outfits look so cute!!! Don't you just love the stepsisters! I think I could eat there every trip, they are so fun! I can't wait to see more of your pictures!

And just for fun, my Christmas present from my mom- sligtly OT, but Cute!

I love that carrier! And, the quilt looks good to me!
What a cute bag!

 

[teresajoy]

I actually sewed something last week! Here is Lyddie in the new Betsey Apron from Sis Boom. It's really cute ans sews up quickly if you don't make bias tape!

it's reversible. You can't see it very good in this picture, but I like the smile on Lyddie's face!

 

[NiniMorris]

To those that asked what happened on our Nov/Dec trip...we have a SN son. We ordered a SN stroller to use as a wheelchair for him. We asked for a ground floor (he doesn't like elevators!) close tot he parking lot. (the Liberty Stroller is HUGE! There is no way we could leave it in the room over night!)

We got a 2nd floor room as far away from the parking lot as possible! They basically said take it or leave it....in not very good English.

Our first morning there, we discovered NO HOT WATER, and terrible water pressure! The shower was a trickle.

To fix the water problem, they had to close our only sidewalk to the parking lot...boarded it up, dug it up, fixed the water pipe, replace the cement, then had to let the cement cure for two days before they re-opened the sidewalk on our last day.

Complaining to front desk got us NOWHERE! So I sent my TA an email. She contacted the front desk manager. They gave us an autographed picture of Mickey and Minnie and three partially deflated helium balloons. (the balloons were completely deflated by morning). No apology, just these items in our room when we returned from MVMCP.

I sent a very thoughtful email to Disney and forgot about it. Last night I got a nice call from Fiona at Disney. She was full of apologies and then gave me the comped rooms.

I wasn't expecting to ever hear back from Disney. It was more of a way for me to let go my anger over the only un-magical part of the trip. (but cranky, SMELLY kids are not a great way to spend the vacation! LOL)

Hubby said they should have done more...it was 5 days of inconvenience. (in fact, had it not been that we were doing MVMCP on the last day, we would have left...it was THAT bad!)

We still LOVE CSR (and have stayed there multiple times)but we are thinking about POFQ this next trip.

Now, in their defense I will say...1-the CM checking us in did not speak enough English to understand that we were requesting the room for handicapped reasons (and it was on our original room request and was confirmed by our TA three days before we arrived); 2- they DID give us the option of waiting for another room (but they already had my DIL in tears at that point...the CM told her she would have to wait for 3 or 4 hours and could not leave the lobby while we were waiting!) and 3- the food court was phenomenal! (where else can you get a steak for a CS meal?)

And we were able to spend the whole day at the parks and not worry about the room issue until we went back each night! The convenience of where CSR is located also is a big plus! We really do love this resort.

Sorry to hear you had troubles this time around, that's a bummer!! Yes, their food court is pretty awesome. I've always wondered what it would be like to stay there...kinda makes me think my all-star stays aren't all that bad!

 

[tricia]

Great job.

Aww, aren't they sweet together.
Looks like a great time, and the customs all look great.

Love the Christmas outfit in pink. And I see nothing wrong with your quilting, looks like you did a great job.

Cute. Now time to get her in the kitchen to bake up some treats.

Nini

I'm sorry about your vacation! While, it was good that they comped you a few days, it really doesn't completely make up for the bad service and problems you had. They need to make sure this kind of thing just doesn't happen to begin with. Or, take more steps at the time to make sure you are having a nice stay. To tell someone they have to stay in the lobby to change rooms???? That's really nuts. I'm glad you were able to have a good time anyway, but I'm sorry that happened to you!

 

[babynala]

Today we went to the Brandywine River Museum to see their train display with the kids and their Mom, Sue. It was really fun. They had a list of things that you had to try to find in the display, and Tim being the Eye Spy Guy that he is had a ball!!! lol.

One of the things they had to find were 3 phone booths. Well, the kids had no idea what a phonebooth was!! So, we described it as a porta potty with windows!!!

They also had ornaments and displays made from all natural things..
What a nice afternoon!! Now back to sewing!

Looks like you had a fun day. It is pretty funny to think that kids have no idea of what a pay phone is. I feel bad for Superman.

I know we are a Disney board and I will get back to Disney after this last post about Paris.

I didn't sleep well knowing that I had to be up at 1:45 am but I did squeak in a few hours. I work every .50 to .75 minutes to check the time. We got up, I went to my computer and DH was at his. We both kept checking and at 2:10 am there was still nothing. Then DH screamed that he was in. He asked how is 53/55? I had 2/4 both were front row dress circle. I told him go!!!!!!! and I ran up to his computer. I gave him my present log in information as I had practiced with the site and set up log in account. I think it was about 2:35 am when we both jumped up and down.

We are 3 seats from the stage Front row dress circle For Jimmy Buffett in Paris
My dear friend from Germany had many problems and got row 15 in the balcony. Still the Olympia Hall in Paris is a beautiful and historic venue with not a bad seat. But I will be close enough to touch the stage!

Congrats!

Good afternoon all!!

More cuteness! I just love these guys and can't wait to have a finished dress - even though I still have no trip for my daughter to wear it on!

These are coming out really nice.

Well...it looks like I will be going back to Disney sooner than I thought....Disney just comped us 2 nights at a moderate for our problems we had last trip...hmmm....need to start planning!

Nini

Sorry you had such trouble on your trip but I'm glad you got a little something for your trouble. Do you think your sewing machine can handle another trip to Disney?

Ok! I DID it! My daughter asked me last Thursday to make her a nightgown for PJ day @ school. Now, I've only ever sewn Easy Fits, but when she asked I just couldn't turn down those cute little eyes. She even had it all planned out with what she wanted me to applique on it! So I bought all of Heathersue's princesses and got to sewing and here is the finished product--just in time! PJ day is tomorrow! Bella loves it and I am so proud of myself. I am also SO thankful to you guys. I never really had a hobby that I enjoyed doing or that I found rewarding other than reading. I've had this machine for 2 years but I only really got it to hem and maybe monogram stuff. But, then I found this board and through your encouragement I tried one pattern and then another and now I feel so confident in myself! THANK YOU!

This is really cute and so is your DD. It looks too nice to just wear to bed, I'm glad everyone at school will get to see it.

We just got back from 10 days at Disney!! It was a fun trip -- COLD for most of the days and like Ellen said....we had jackets covering up their shirts and outfits!!! But at least we could take off the jackets inside.

It was a fantastic trip! We stayed at the Poly and loved it!!!

The step sisters LOVED DS's shirt! They fought over him and Anastasia planted a big old pink lipstick kiss on his cheek.

Great pictures. Love the lipstick kiss and the pose with Flynn. Your DD looks so pretty in her princess dress. Your AK t-shirts are great, what a nice picture of the 3 of you.

I've been super busy- but then aren't we all? I'm almost done with the FSL ornaments, and I've finished a few Christmas things too.

First is a Tshirt for DS per request, Santa Pluto:

Next, DD wanted a Christmas outfit but not red and green, pref. w/ pink- here's what I came up with:
the pic isn't great, I'll try to get a better one w/ her in it; it's the gored skirt from Indigo Junction and I got the embroidery design from Etsy

Then I made DD a doll carrier and quilt for the bitty baby grandma is getting her for Christmas- I want to make some matching outfits for the doll w/ the scraps, but not sure I'll get to that before Christmas...

And just for fun, my Christmas present from my mom- sligtly OT, but Cute!

I love the santa shirt and the fact that your DS requested it. The quilt and doll carrier are really nice. I think you did a wonderful job on the christmas outfit, the pink and blue are perfect.

Wow...fantastic job for a first project! Thats a lot of embroidering!!!

Does anyone know where I can find a simple Cross design for my SFIL to embroider on fleece for him??????? Free is best - lol!!

We got our car back today!! Merry Christmas to us - lol!!! oh well I guess thats how it goes!!! A new engine for the Harrons!!! haha!!!

Try emblibrary.com. I love that site!! They have everything.

As for my to do list - I finished the girls Barbie dresses (pics to follow later)
and the 2 tshirts I was working on. All I have left is a set of bath towels and about 10 more cup towels for gifts. I might make it before Christmas yet. However, I have my little ones from tomorrow night (when we go see the Nutcracker Ballet.....YAY!) until Monday afternoon, so obviously nothing but fun games, snuggling, and playing will happen until after the weekend. Ha!

Teresa - this apron is really cute. I made about 12 aprons this season but that may be a cute one for next year's projects. I am so jealous of the snow. It is 72 here in Houston today. They say it will get colder today....all the way to the 40's. Wow...nothing like your white Christmas you are having though. Ha!

 

[cogero]

I have been working on Christmas and our trip every night.

Here are some towels I made my sister for Christmas

and 2 more shirts for my son.

I think tonite I am going to finish my god son's present and a present for my Mom.

Then tomorrow I will make a list of what I need to finish for our trip.

I did wash shirts for doing Iron on transfers for the give before I left work. Trying to get all my ducks in a row so I can just pound out some projects.

Complaining to front desk got us NOWHERE! So I sent my TA an email. She contacted the front desk manager. They gave us an autographed picture of Mickey and Minnie and three partially deflated helium balloons. (the balloons were completely deflated by morning). No apology, just these items in our room when we returned from MVMCP.

I sent a very thoughtful email to Disney and forgot about it. Last night I got a nice call from Fiona at Disney. She was full of apologies and then gave me the comped rooms.

I wasn't expecting to ever hear back from Disney. It was more of a way for me to let go my anger over the only un-magical part of the trip. (but cranky, SMELLY kids are not a great way to spend the vacation! LOL)

Hubby said they should have done more...it was 5 days of inconvenience. (in fact, had it not been that we were doing MVMCP on the last day, we would have left...it was THAT bad!)

We still LOVE CSR (and have stayed there multiple times)but we are thinking about POFQ this next trip.

Now, in their defense I will say...1-the CM checking us in did not speak enough English to understand that we were requesting the room for handicapped reasons (and it was on our original room request and was confirmed by our TA three days before we arrived); 2- they DID give us the option of waiting for another room (but they already had my DIL in tears at that point...the CM told her she would have to wait for 3 or 4 hours and could not leave the lobby while we were waiting!) and 3- the food court was phenomenal! (where else can you get a steak for a CS meal?)

And we were able to spend the whole day at the parks and not worry about the room issue until we went back each night! The convenience of where CSR is located also is a big plus! We really do love this resort.

So sorry you had such problems. It's good that they are comping you, but they should have moved you right away when the water wasn't working correctly!

I actually sewed something last week! Here is Lyddie in the new Betsey Apron from Sis Boom. It's really cute ans sews up quickly if you don't make bias tape!

it's reversible. You can't see it very good in this picture, but I like the smile on Lyddie's face!

Adorable apron and model! I'm not liking the snow in that picture as I'm headed up there to spend my last "White Christmas" in Michigan - woo hoo, my kids are FINALLY moving back to Texas. I will miss Michigian as I love it up there but to have those grandkidlets within a 2-1/2 hour drive - priceless!

Did you cut two of each piece out and then sew them together? Or sew the legs together instead of the crotch (not sure how big that would end up). I'll be cutting a pair in a minute so I'll see.

No I cut 2 pieces and sewed them together to make what looks to be a pair of pants lol
