Disboutiquers Part 24 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[miprender]

Big news in our famliy today. My nephew Andrew and his wife Jess (they got married Jan 2nd) are going to be leaving for China in August to go and teach English for a year!!! This is an awesome thing for them - hard for us to separate (especially his siblings - let me tell ya - Tim is going to BAWL his eyes out when they leave) but, its the perfect time in their life to do it. They will have just graduated from college, they have no house yet, no jobs yet, no kids yet - We truely feel God gave this oppurtunity to them. They have both been to China before - Andrew did a similar thing as a high school senior on a missions trip with our church, and Jess has 1 adopted brother from China and her parents are adopting 2 more children from China in the next few months. So they kind of know what they are in for (a little bit) as far as the food, climate, culture etc. Wowzer!!! I just hope they are home in time for Matt's graduation from High School next year - he would be devistated if they were not home for that (oh boy, Matt is going to BAWL his eyes out too - this is gonna be TOUGH)!!!

Wendy what a great oppurtinity for them. You must be so proud.

I'm all ready for our trip tomorrow. DH thinks I've gone overboard on sewing for the kids, but everything I made can be worn on the cruise in June, so I'm calling it an investment. I didn't even make new shirts for both big girls or myself for every day, so I really could have done more. I did treat myself and made a Rosetta bag in Minnie colors, and I just love it! I forgot to mention a while back I saw one when we were at MK, it was hanging n a chair at the Sleepy Hollow snack area. I think I saw it posted here at one point, so it might belong to one of you. I was too chicken to ask who it was, there wasn't a lady sitting at the table at the time, and I didn't want the guy to think i was a weirdo or something. I'll be sure to post pics when we get home.

Safe travels!

I finally did it!!

Me and my mom went and bought fabric and a pattern about two weeks. Then it sat in my closet because I have never made a dress before or really used a pattern. My mom never seemed to have time to show me how, so tonight I took out the fabric (left the pattern in the bag) and decided to wing it.

Here is my first dress. I'm too excited to wait for my model to wake up to show a picture.

-nat

WOW...that dress came out great and I like the minnie even with her pink bow. I didn't even notice it until you mentioned it.

Your kids would love the museum -- they are at the perfect age. They have a really neat water feature. I've only been once -- we had the zoo membership as well so have been there many a times. The museum is small, but done well. We no longer live up that way though which is fine with me! Loved RI, but prefer warmer weather!

This winter was rough. As for the museum I always forget that we have one.

Here is the comic strip fabric...

And since the family received these yesterday, I can also post the rest of the items for Lhea's give:

I did the drawstring backpack for big brother, a rosetta bag for big sister, and minnie princess outfits for the little ones.

Thanks for looking!

Ellen you do such amazing work. I love that comic strip mickey. I was going to buy it online at Joanne's and now they don't have it anymore

Beautiful

Hi gals, I'm new here. I think I've posted once but was just saying "Hi". I'm a big time lurker, though! I recently "met" mom2rtk thanks to her trip report.

Anyway, mostly I CASE stuff! I'm really uncreative on my own, unfortunately and you all BLOW ME AWAY!!!

I recently had an idea for custom stuff for my 4 and 6 year old boys and wasn't sure if I should bother making them...thought I'd get some feedback from you people that have such a great eye, if you don't mind.

Woody Option #1

Woody Option #2

They would be bowling shirts, obviously. I just didn't know if they're too foolish or what...be honest. I don't want them walking around looking like complete dorks because their mother is trying too hard.

I love all the shirts. I have two boys that would love them.

this is something i have been working on that seemed to take forever. thanks ms mckeena for the ribbon twirl tute.
the fsl butterflys took an hour each, maybe that is why this felt like it took forever to make
here is the skirt, close so u can see the fsl butterflys

here is the top, portrait peasant

here it is together in 1 pic

!

Great job.


NOW I need to get back to finish my AK day. I will post pictures when I am done (hopefully I will finish tonight)

HELP!!!!!

On my way to Joanns and forgot the length of zipper for the new sisboom girls dress I bought- can't remember the name- and I bought direct not through ycmt so I can't just pull it up in the library- does anybody know?
TIA!

For the new Marissa it is a 10" zipper for 2T and under and a 12 inch for all other sizes.

I just bought the light pink minnie fabric at Joann's yesterday too. They seemed to be restocked, and also had more of the comicstrip mickey fabric that I had bought a couple of months ago. I used it on this drawstring backpack for a big give, and a couple of people had asked me where I got the fabric.

The licensed stuff was 40% off, and I know that mar 25 - 27 it is going to 50% off, but I was afraid that it would be gone so I bought the minnie.

These are fabulous!!! I love the princess outfits!!!

The comic strip fabric reminds me of the purse I bought while we were at Disney in October. I love i!

I haven't received an ad yet and I don't know why. I would love to get some character fabric for 50% off though. It isn't until next weekend though, right?

I just got my ad yesterday, hopefully you will get yours soon.

Thanks for all the compliments on my girls and their dresses. I was able to finish one more item from "the box." I hope it's long enough for my DD. It's was supposed to be a dress but I am thinking it will fit her more like a tunic top. I think she has some hot pink leggings that would look cute.

Another adorable outfit Aimee!

I love these!!! And, even before you said it, I was going to say I love the second Woody best, because it actually looks like his shirt and vest! These are too cute!

i just realized it is a little wrinkled, but it wasnt before she wore it to school this am i promise!

This is really beautiful!!

My 4 year old likes the Woody with the cow print option the best as Woody really does have a cow print vest and really only his hat, boots and belt/gun holder are brown.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

I really love the Minnie Princess outfits. I think those outfits will make adorable pictures in front of the castle.

 

[SarahJN]

LOL, I live on the same road as Southwicks. Actually the house I grew up in was so close I could hear the lions roar.
Did you buy the light pink Minnie fabric? I just bought some to make something out of. it is sooo cute!

That is so funny that you live on that road. Whenever we drive over there, I always wonder if the people who live that close are afraid of the animals escaping.

Yes - it was the light pink Minnie. My girls love it!

Great job on that dress. Did you purchase that patch somewhere? It looks like one of the standard patterns on the Disney Brother embroidery machines. If you bought it somewhere, the person may be able to do one with red bow for you. Just a thought.

Thank you so much for making all these items for Lhea's Give! I am sure they will enjoy the outfits/bags very much! Everything looks great like usual.

Awesome as always. Love the mickey fabric too. We JUST started getting licensed fabric at our fabricland. Way too expensive, but won't be bad if I get it on a members sale at 40% off. So far only Mickey and Pooh, can't wait till they get some princesses. I have had no Disney fabric in my stash for a while now, so have not been looking at the Big Gives. Now maybe I can get back to doing a couple of them.

Glad to hear that the Ontario Fabriclands are getting Disney prints too. I don't know how much they cost when you get them at 40% off. We quite often get them at 50% off so they are $7/metre (and no HST!). I will be happy to pick up some princess prints for you if you need some.

I just want to say welcome. I think all three options are fine, though I am not sure about the Buzz shirt with all the white on a 4 or 6 year old boy! (Mind you, I still don't trust myself enough to wear anything with large amounts of white cause I know I will spill something on myself if I did)

this is something i have been working on that seemed to take forever. thanks ms mckeena for the ribbon twirl tute.

Here are the bur cloth cupcakes we made for our friend's baby shower last month. I had the girls sew them up. They started to do the clipping, but then got tired, so I did most of that! We all rolled them up into cupcakes. These were a lot of fun, and were the HIT of the shower!


In the cupcake box

Out on "the board"

All closed up in the boxes

I didn't get a picture of them before we made the cupcakes, but my friend, Louise was smart and took a picture of one at the shower. This was the set we made for the Grandma

I also made them a teeny tiny little dress, but I didn't get a picture of that either. I made the Dad's niece a dress to match it too, but you guessed it, I didn't take a picture of that either! I was running late that day!

But, hey, did I ever post this dress?

Simply Sweet dress with a Heathersue Minnie Head.

TJ love the minnie dress.

here is one of the things I did tonite. I finally set my sewing machine back up after taking it to my mom to try it out.

A friend of mine just adopted a baby so I made her this little gift my version of a taggy blanket.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

SO many cute things posted!!! Wish I had time to post on everything. Work has been so insane lately.

Nini-hope your feeling better!

Thanks for all the comments on my DD's cupcake dress, DD & photos. I am usually not too impressed with most photopass photos but we were staying at AKL on that trip and they took photos in the lobby at night. Those photos were all very good. The girl who took those photos on DD's bday was really great!

WOW Ellen!!! I just love everything about that drawstring bag. Love the fabric and love how perfect that bag is. I also really love the rosetta bag. I'm not a fan of frilly things but that bag is great! Love the mix of polka dots and animal prints and white/black/hot pink! And those Minnie outfits are perfect too!

Thanks for the feedback on my Buzz & Woody bowling shirt ideas, everyone...I really appreciate it! I was going to make one Buzz and one Woody...and my daughter would wear some sort of Jessie option dress/skirt. My 4 year old likes the Woody with the cow print option the best as Woody really does have a cow print vest and really only his hat, boots and belt/gun holder are brown.

That is the only opinion that really matters! I'm sure he will LOVE it!!! I can't wait to see them!

LOL, I live on the same road as Southwicks. Actually the house I grew up in was so close I could hear the lions roar.

Greetings from WDW!!! It's a mob scene here, but we're still having a good time. Savannah is enjoying the extra attention her Birthday girl shirt and tiara brings, she also recieved the b day button at check in, and forgot she was wearng it when several CMs said happy birthday Savannah, lol. Rebecca gets lots of compliments on her Rapunzel dress, but the
big hit is my Minnie Rosetta bag. I must have been asked a dozen times where I bought it already. I made the big one, and it's working well though I may add a higher pocket for my cell phone, I keep losing it even
with the other pockets down lower.

Tomorrow is Epcot, I'll try to post more pics to
FB, that's easiest from my phone, so you can get a
sneak peak at my creations. I promise to post pics here when we
get home.

Have a great weekend!

You could use a scrap of the polka dot fabric to cover it too. You could either paint or embroider the lines for the knot and creases on, but it could work.

HTH!

We took the kids to the local daffodil festival today. Here she is (and her brother) in the dress I made. (Okay, so I went a little photo happy!)

 

[billwendy]

WOW love everything that was posted!! Those Daffodil pictures just POP!!! Love the buzz and woody shirts too - cant wait to see them modeled!! Speaking of models, I actually have kids wearing something I made for a change!!! lol...we had fun at beauty and the beast tonight. I was surprised how well the high schoolers did!!! Gaston was my favorite in the show - hillarious. The kids got a bit bored with the songs that are not in the movie - lol.....of course I sat with Hannah who narrated the whole show!! She notice the strangest details. In the very opening number Han says "Aunt Wendy - do you like Belle's shoes"? - lol....cracks me UP!!!! Her headband kept slinding on her head towards the back - how should I adjust it so it doesnt do that next time????

2 Beauty's and a BEAST!!!

I haven't posted in quite a while and haven't been checking either...I can't believe you are all past 100 pages! I sure have missed all of you! I have a few dresses that I am looking forward to posting when they are finished-hopefully this weekend. Love everything that I have had a chance to look at, everything is beautiful!!!!! My DD did turn 6 last weekend and I made her a cute cupcake Vida, so it is funny that so many cupcake outfits where posted not too far back. She got a dog which she really wanted!!!! We had so much fun at her Bluealicious Birthday Party.
