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

[The Moonk's Mom]

He is so cute. It almost makes me want to give into DH. I keep telling him that I have two perfectly good kids, a husband, and old dog and a cat that kills everything in the fields and brings it onto the patio to clean up after.

I can't do another animal that I didn't birth. DS8 hasn't shown responsibility for animals enought to take on the responsibility yet. DH thinks I'm a grinch for it, but I clean up his mess too. LOL!!!

Oh...I had to think long and hard about it! It is really like taking care of a baby with no diaper sometimes, and somehow the puppy he wanted....I am the one that gets up all hours of the night to walk. But he is doing better, last night I got to sleep until 4:30! Yipee!

 

[cogero]

Still not sure what we are doing for NYE - whats everyone else doing?

Since DH is working, I think I will either be scrapbooking or working on some big gives and cleaning my studio it is a huge mess.

 

[effervescent]

been sick since before Christmas so haven't done much. I also have a DD that takes off with my camera. I did make one of the ruffle purses for MIL. This is a medium purse.

I love the colors in that! I really need to make one of these, I just love the ruffles.

Been quite busy and sick but I finally got some pics uploaded to photobucket! Yeah
Here is a potrait peasant I made for Sara beth.

Everything is great, I think this is my favorite. I love the fabric.

Glad I'm not the only one!! My husband got tierd of me asking him if he really wanted to buy me that big of a Christmas gift and he opened the box once I went upstairs with the baby the other night. So I guess that's my answer I don't have much sewing room, so I had to pack up the embroidery machine to move the serger to my desk. So, it's plugged in, and I'm on about page 20 of the owners manual. I've been up the last two nights with a sick baby though, so I'm gonna take a nap before I attempt to thread and play.

Have you gotten yours out yet? Do you love it?

No I haven't had the time to devote to it yet. The holidays are crazy at work and my sewing area is a mess right now. It's on my list of things to do next week though. I'd love to be able to use it to make the kids' outfits for our January trip. I guess I should bring the manual and skim over it at work so I have at least some idea what I'm getting myself into!

First up is an Avilo Tote (large size) for my Secret Santa at work -- she has a miniature daschund that is her life so I made her the tote with extra pockets and put something in each pocket -- one had the matching coffee cozy, one the matching dog scarf, another had the Christmas dog scarf, earrings were in the other pockets and dog treats in whatever pockets were left over. She loved it and couldn't believe I made it.

Oh I love it! You are an awesome Secret Santa!

Still not sure what we are doing for NYE - whats everyone else doing?

Working a 12. The fam probably won't do much since the babies can't make it til midnight yet.

So cute!

I can't even beging to say how much I love all of the things that I have seen lately. I've been lurking due to time constraints. DH is back at work now & I have some free time again.

I haven't even posted out trip pics yet because I'm in a post-trip depression.

I love all of your pics! Your customs are just fabulous. And congrats on the newest upcoming trip!

Squeee! He's a doll! I want a puppy but DH says not right now (we already have a lab mix and a snooty cat). My sister just got a new rottie puppy - all these puppies are killing me!

Hey guys!
We had a good trip. Shame on me for not posting pictures yet, but we all got the flu at Disney and took me a while to recover! Now I am frantically cleaning the house in case our in laws show up next week. They are supposed to come, but I don't know when or if they will. (they said they were coming last year and didn't)
I'm anxiously waiting for my photopass cd! I loved photopass. It was a hassle to have to wait in line for so long and then have to take the camera out in a hurry when it got close to our turn.. so I totally took advantage of photopass. I hope they came out good!

Did anyone get their men some really awesome Christmas gift that isn't super expensive? My hubby wont give me any hints on what to give him. He says all he wants is me... He is so hard to shop for. We are having Christmas next week when he comes home. He has all the tools he wants and that kinda stuff so I am finally stumped on what to get him. Everything I ask him he says not to get. :/ He doesn't like me to buy clothes for him, so thats out too. I'd love some ideas.
I was going to post a photo, but my sd card is missing. Hubby took it before he went to work and no telling where he put it.

Hi Toadstool! (Sorry, I don't remember your real name! )

It was fun running into you at 1900 Park Fare! Do you mind if I post a photo of the girls together?

I think I just taked DH into a Nov 2011 trip again.!!!!! Let the planning begin.

Here are a few trip pics from our Nov trip.

I love all the outfits! I think I am finally inspired to get started on our trip! And yeah on booking another trip! DH said that if there is a bounceback offer when we are there we can boook our next trip too!

I am good...been around been I have been so busy! I think I have too many irons in the fire for my own good this year! But, with the holidays over, I can relax a little! I say that, but we did get a new addition to the family that will keep me busy for some time!

So, to introduce...here is Max, our new beagle puppy!

Katie only loves him just a little!

The hardest part is housebreaking with snow on the ground...no fun! But he is so smart and now that the snow has started to melt, he is getting the hang of it!

What a cutie! the girls got a certificate for a new dog for once we move into our new house! they are quite excited! The only compromise is that is needs to be a rescue dog!

My DH gave me two dachshund puppies for Valentine's Day this year - I call them the gift that keeps on giving. We FINALLY have them almost totally crate trained but it was a looonngg year! Good luck!! (I don't know if it was a Freudian slip but I kept typing SH instead of DH...)

SO adorable!!!

Thanks for the compliments on the Rudolph Feliz. I think I have retired my Feliz sewing for awhile. So much work and so much fabric. The ruffles nearly pushed me over the edge and I have a ruffler! I was going to make an Animal Kingdom Feliz but have decided to do something a little simpler as I just don't have the energy!

Here is the tote bag I made for my mom's Christmas gift. They are taking DD4 for her 5th birthday in February so I put together a little "Survival Kit" kit for them. The are also going on European Disney Cruise in September so I thought the bag would be cute for that as well. I even added some little pockets on the inside that will fit their Keys to the World cards perfectly. In retrospect, I wish I had closed it with a zipper so things wouldn't fall out on rides. Not sure how to do that though. Can anyone recommend a pattern for a tote that closes with a zipper? I didn't use a pattern for this, just winged it based on a Vera Bradley bag I have.

Great bag! I did a tote with a drawstring top using this tutorial.

I always buy my DH some sort of flash light-one year a head lamp, one year a tripod flash light. This year I got him an energizer LED flashlight that you you use as like a lantern-it is small but worked great when we lost our electricity twice this week-once for 12+ hours. Seems like we can always use a flashlight.

I wanted to get him an emergency light-you plug it in like a night light but it only goes on when the power is out. They are under $10 but the one Lowes I went to was sold out.

YAY for a new trip to plan! LOVE all your outfits!

 

[jeniamt]

Thank you so much. We had a great time, but 8 days wasn't enough.

The big ones were done by hand. I wish I had a huge hoop to pull those off. I must have been nuts to do 8 shirts for DS8 by hand, but I will do it again, if he will still wear them next year.

Wow, you are amazing! I do my appliques by hand and know how much work it is. I will be lucky to make my kids one shirt each before our trip in 3 weeks! I had so much to do before Christmas I haven't had time to start thinking about sewing for our trip! Thankfully they still have outfits that fit them from last year's cruise.

SO adorable!!!

THANK YOU!!! I love that bag... might have to take mine apart to add the drawstring.

 

[lovesdumbo]

Thought I would post a few Chrismtas gifts I made. I made this drawstring tote from this tutorial: http://ayumills.blogspot.com/2010/08/tutorial-lunch-bag.html

I made a yoga mat bag for a friend using this tutorial: http://sew4home.com/projects/storage-solutions/438-yoga-mat-sling-bag

I made a ton of tea wallets using this tutorial (I'll have to upload the photo of the Mickey style one that is still on my camera): http://blog.christyscreations.com/tea-wallet-tutorial/

 

[lovesdumbo]

THANK YOU!!! I love that bag... might have to take mine apart to add the drawstring.

I think you could add it to your bag without taking yours apart.

I really like that tutorial. The made as per the tutorial is relatively small-meant as a lunch tote but you could use that technique to make a bigger bag.

I did the shirts in 5 days. I did one thing at a time. One day i found all my pics from pins or coloring pgs, I used a projector to blow up pics for the shirts and traced to size one day, cut out the pics pieces and cut them out on fabric with heatbond and put pieces for each shirt into ziplock bags, ironed pieces on all shirts, and sewed around pieces for 1 & 1/2. It worked well because I forget how to zig and zag well if I do one shirt at a time. This way they were all done together.

I think you are right. Looks like I can stitch the drawstring part to the inner lining. Will try tomorrow.

Wow, you are efficient. Sadly, DS9 says he doesn't want any shirts Hopefully he will come to his senses in a day or two. He was really tired when I just asked him about what he might want. DD11 chose an Eeyore Cutie for her shirt. She says she wants patchwork jeans to match.

First, I just want to thank each and every one of you - you have all been so inspriational!

I found you about 6 weeks ago, while you were all on part 22... I read all of that, then I wandered over to part 1 (a, b, c & d) - I was a bit discouraged that most of the photos were "red Xs" - so then I wandered to parts 21, 20, 19 and I just started 18 today. I don't think I will go back much further. But it is just so addicting to see all of your wonderful creations!

I've showed some of your items to my dds - who are 11 and 12 y/o - and they want nothing to do with mom sewing any great Disney clothes. I wish I would have found you all a decade ago - because I totally missed the boat on sewing clothes for my girls.

So, as I said earlier in this (hopefully not so long) post, you've all inspired me. About a month ago, I opened the door to my deepest, darkest, messiest closet - and there in the back was a sewing machine that my MIL had given me over 5 years ago. I knew nothing about it, except that it was taking up valuable space in my closet. I found the manual online, and I read it cover to cover twice, with the machine sitting here on my desk. I took it apart and gave it a nice oiling (I figured it needed it), and then I found an old pillow case to take it for a test drive... then I hemmed dd's curtains... and I hemmed my other dd's curtains... and I really wanted to do some disney sewing. My girls had no interest, as I said... so I turned to their massive AG collection... and I started sewing...

First was Goofy:

Then came Donald:

And Mickey:

Minnie:

Some of these were patterns I created (I was too afraid to buy any)... I didn't break down and buy a pattern until Minnie. The Goofy skirt was a free one at YCMT. The Goofy and Donald shirts were a pattern that I drafted - Goofy was actually my first ever attempt at a collar and sleeves. I drafted Donald's skirt, as well. The Mickey dress was a pattern I drafted from a dress we already had, and Minnie is CarlaC's Simply Sweet. I also drafted the pattern for the leggings, and tried to attempt a lettuce edge on two of them - which didn't turn out as well as I would have liked.

Next up is my rendition of Pluto. I have the pattern and the fabric purchased - I just need to find the time.

I don't think I CASED anyone in particular, I think all of these outfits are just a vast majority of everything I liked from everyone, and some of my own ideas. I really hope that I didn't wreck anyone's creations when I made these.

Oh, and my ticker is off. We had to reschedule our "girls only" trip indefinately - so right now were are tripless.

Anyways, I hope you all don't mind if I pull up my machine and hang out for a bit.

D~

Those outfits are great! Now you have inspired me to try to make some outfits for my granddaughter's new AG twins that Santa brought her!

I better not show my DD the AG clothes or she might want them.

WoW! I am much more of a lurker than a poster,but you are awesome! Those are so cute! I have no one to sew for really either, except maybe future grandchildren. I did make one of my coworkers daugeter a little Christmas dress following a tutorial I found on here, which was fun! Thanks for posting your pics!

We are celebrating DS8's birthday...love having a NYE baby! It always gives us something to do! We may go to a friends house for a little, but for the most part we always spend it at home just the 5 of us.
