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

[aboveH20]

My serger came!!!

And I've used it... and it runs perfectly, and it works, and I am so proud of myself!!!! I am so excited and I love it. I can't wait to finish my next project!

D~ <--- That's all, you can now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

So what do you think. Are the little strips of fabric it cuts off the cutest ever, or am I the only one who saves them in a jar?

 

[Fruto76]

2. Would any one be willing to do make a floppy bucket hat for baby Hannah's big give? mom said its hard to find hats to fit her because her head is a little large (she wont wear big kid ball caps or anything).

I will do the hat. Is there a go-to pattern for that? I will go take a peek but if someone has the answer and can point me in the right direction it would be great!
Praying you get your time off!

2. Would any one be willing to do make a floppy bucket hat for baby Hannah's big give? mom said its hard to find hats to fit her because her head is a little large (she wont wear big kid ball caps or anything).

3. Pray that my time off for Camp Promise would be approved!!! 2 other OT's asked for the same time off, and they said only 2 of us can be off at the same time!!! Im really really worried!!!! I know God will take care of something somehow, but EEKS!!!

Oh Wendy, I hope you get your time off, do the other two OT's realize why you need the time??? can one of them re work their vaca?? did you ask first for the time off??? I know how much you look forward to spending the time at the camp and will send you lots of it works out!

I got my Vida pattern in the mail today. I can't wait to play with it tomorrow. I am almost caught up on all my other projects so I can start thinking about some new things. I want to do something for the reading specialist at my daughter's school. She is a wonderful lady who is retiring this year after beating breast cancer 7 years ago and having major heart surgery last year. I am going to spend some time looking at appliques tomorrow to see if there is anything that seems right to me.

Thanks for your prayers too!!! I really really hope it works out!! If Billy goes without me, Im going to need someone to stay with- Im to askeered to stay home alone!!!!!!!! and all my friends and family will either be at Camp Promise, the beach or CREATION (a Christian Music Festival)....EEKS!!!!!

HaHa - I emptied it C!!!!!

Lisa - yes, they both do. One of them is going on a once of a lifetime trip to germany with her family - we thought that she and I would be the ones to get off. Then another person's sister booked a beach house for the same week!!! The rule is no more than 2 off at a time because we are so busy. BUt, Most of my patients like taking those 2 weeks off and, they are the weeks before and after 4th of July, so lots of my patients are on vacation anyways!!!!! Its all in God's Hands!!!!!! I just have to trust in Him!!!!

Lisa - are you super duper excited? when are you going to tell Megan about all your special plans?

I really love the first floral fabric you used. I keep loving it more and more when I see it quoted. Where did you get it?

I bought it at the quilting store that I bought my machine from. I was there for a class and they give 15% off of purchases when you are there for a class. I saw that fabric and fell in love! It is Heather Bailey, Picnic Bouquet. I keep thinking about maybe using my leftover fabric for a tote bag of some sort. If only I had more time!

I have been trying to stay off of the computer at night so that I can get all of my sewing orders done. I have only been getting on at work during the day...that way I get paid to be on the computer (tee hee...prob not this site though).

Anyway, I love everything that has been posted lately....way TMTQ but I have been trying to post a little each day. I just can't pass up telling someone when I think they have done an incredible job. So much talent!

I finished a few dresses (customer orders) that I can post now.

A dress with Castle print....I love this fabric

and the back (my favorite part)

A dress for Hollywood Studios...I tried to match up a strip of fabric with each applique (Toy story fabric with Woody, Einsteins fabric with June, etc)

and back

and my favorite...Pooh...for Crystal Palace

and back

ADORABLE!!!! Such great work!!

 

[DMGeurts]

So what do you think. Are the little strips of fabric it cuts off the cutest ever, or am I the only one who saves them in a jar?

They are cute... but I am not saving them... I had to stop "playing" last night - because my dd walked by and said "Woah mom - you're almost out of green thread!" I didn't want to have to rethread it completely last night, so I packed it up.

Congratulations...are you going to name your new baby have fun playing with her!!

Well, the girls at work think I should name him Edgar... but at the same time, they came to the conclusion that I am nuts... so I am not sure I should listen to them - they seem a wee bit unbalanced.

I know this is kind of dumb... but I was thinking of naming all of my (present & future) machines after the Fab 5. I want to do my sewing room as a "Disney" theme... and I was thinking I'd make a different colored dot cover for each of my machines?? Dorky - I know... but I figured if anyone would understand, it would be a Diser.

Lisa... I can't believe your trip is only one day away. Do you believe I have never read your PTR??? I am headed over there now... better late than never right???

What branch of military is your husband in? My DD's husband is awaiting his first orders after Army AIT. I may be asking some questions.

My dh is in the Navy. Thankfully he retires in just a bit over a year, though with the economy as it its, he may stay in a bit longer. We're awaiting orders too. The command my dh was supposed to go to is closing. Orders mean nothing to us anyway. Since we have been married my dh has has six sets of orders. Five times they changed, and most last minute. Once was a five hour notice! I don't know if the Army is any better with respect to that.

I love that castle fabric as well. Everything looks great! You amaze me how quickly you seem to get things done. I spent one hour last night doing just one ruffle.

So what do you think. Are the little strips of fabric it cuts off the cutest ever, or am I the only one who saves them in a jar?

Yes, you are indeed the only one who saves them in a jar!

JESSICA: Forgot to go back and grab your LE set -- it's adorable and I can't believe you do such fine details by hand. I guess I need to practice some more.

WENDY: I hope your vacation works out. Most places I know go by seniority -- doesn't your place of business have a policy of how it is done?

Wendy, i can do the big hoop thing, just send me the file and let me know what size shirt/color shirt it needs to go on.

Also, in addition to Carla C's bucket hat, tie dye diva has a wide brimmed sun hat. I haven't tried it, but it looks like a good choice...

It is available on youcanmakethis or etsy under seller tie dye diva.

Of course, we have been out of the army for about 17 years...but we only had our duty station changed once...that was the first time Sadaam Hussein got a little rowdy. We were supposed to go to Belgium...and he was sent to Korea instead....I was not a happy camper!

We were in for 20 years...and it was our last PCS...then we retired. (BTW I loved our retirement ceremony...I was given my retirement 'certificate' as well...of course I retired with one 'rank' higher than my husband...we still tease about that!

Thank you!

I am drinking my coffee and heading to Joanns for when the doors open. I am driving at least 20 minutes in the opposite direction but it is the only time I can get there this weekend.

I will let you know how I did later on.

 

[chellewashere]

A dress with Castle print....I love this fabric

and the back (my favorite part)

Love this pattern. Where do you ladies find all these great patterns. I have been trying to find one with a big bow back for my DD it is her new request for a dress. Who knew she had a style

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS PRAYED FOR MY SON. He will be heading home on friday, although my older son did offer to drive down and get him today if he really felt he needed to come home early, but he said he would tough it out for one more day (just not at the beach)

I am sure once he gets home he will calm down and be able to see that he probably saved the man's life, even if we never know for sure (which is probably better to not know for sure)

you girls/guys are so sweet and caring and I appreciate that!

Your son has to know he is a HERO. In this day and age most folks won't stop to help another person. I realize the man passed away, but it took courage for your son to put his own life at risk to try to help a stranger!

Wow...that is crazy about all of the last minute or change of orders but 5 HOURS, REALLY??

Thank you for the compliment. I don't really feel like I am too quick on making things. There were 11 appliques in just those 2 dresses and it seemed like it took forever just to get those done before starting the dresses. And yes, ruffles take a long time. I am very meticulous about getting them even so I also tend to take more time doing them than any other part. I do them all by hand (the old fashioned way), so an hour seems about right to me too.

Of course, we have been out of the army for about 17 years...but we only had our duty station changed once...that was the first time Sadaam Hussein got a little rowdy. We were supposed to go to Belgium...and he was sent to Korea instead....I was not a happy camper!

Nini - love the story about the retirement 'certificate'. That is too cute.
At my son-in-laws boot camp graduation, my daughter was asked to stand in front of the audience (about 4,000+) and interpret for the deaf. At the end, the commander in charge gave her a medal for her 'service'. It was larger than the medal her hubby got for his outstanding marksmanship. Ha!! She loved that. It truly is the wives that stand behind these guys and make them what they are.

Love this pattern. Where do you ladies find all these great patterns. I have been trying to find one with a big bow back for my DD it is her new request for a dress. Who knew she had a style

Most of the patterns I use come from youcanmakethis.com. However, this one with the castle print came off of the internet somewhere (I am not even sure where). It is called a reverse knot dress, I think. I love the pattern. It is very similar to the simply sweet as far as how you make it.

 

[Granna4679]

Thank you for all of the compliments on the dresses. You all are so inspiring.

Wendy - I hope everything works out for your trip to Camp. I know how much you love going. And yes, God is in total control of that! He always works it out for the best.

I tried shirring for the first time last week... it was not a very enjoyable experience, but I figured out what I was doing wrong, so next time it should go better

We are waiting on ROFR for a DVC resale, we got in right before the deadline cut-off. If it goes through then we have points that must be used by 12/1. Which means we'd most likely be looking at a trip in September or October! Yay! I sure hope that everything goes smooth and this turns into a reality for us!

I bought some Bambi fabric today at Hobby Lobby. I also bought the Vida pattern a few days ago and it already arrived and I can't wait to try it! (Anita- I still have not gotten to attempt a Feliz... think I will do the Vida first as it looks much less intimidating!)

Great job on the shirring! Love your creations.

We just found out we passed ROFR. My agent said Disney is passing everything right now.

Where did you buy the Vida? I have looked online and every where I find, it says it is out of stock.
