Disboutiquers Part 27 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[NiniMorris]

If you heard a little scream coming from half way between Atlanta and Athens about an hour ago...don't worry...it was just me. After I finished piecing two king size quilts for Christmas presents, my oldest daughter informs me that she wants a quilt in different colors!

I don't have the time or money to get more fabric and piece another quilt...not by Dec 10!

I'm not Andrea...but it is in honor of Veterans day. Now through this Saturday, 20% off with a valid military ID card...does not matter if it is retired or active duty, spouse or member or just plain dependent (like my daughter).


Hope that answers your question...


Nini
Wife of retired First SGT Army

Nini,Thanks for the information. I'll definitely have to visit Joann's this week

What about a Belle themed Rosetta bag?

I do like this idea. I think I'll have to take a look at the pattern. I lost another quote with this idea. Sorry to be so rude. I really love the Donald bag to. I think I could come up with something like that even. Now to think on it.....

How about an IOU?

 

[VBAndrea]

VBAndrea,
Question re: Military discount at Joann's. Is it all the time or just special days? Do they accept them if your spouse is retired from the military? I know at some stores/zoo/park/etc I can use it but some will say "Only if your spouse is active right now." The way I look at it is -- retired or active they served and/or serving their country.
Sheila

I see Nini already answered you and she knew more than I did. I went in with my 10% off coupon and saw someone in the checkout show their ID and then saw the sign for the 20% off. I think they usually offer that discount on military-ish holidays like the 4th and Memorial Day as well. The best part is you get 20% off sale items as well.

And FYI, the ACMoore's here give a 10% discount for military but you have to ask for it. I'm not sure if that is nationwide or not, but never hurts to ask.

My mother does that every year with an IOU

OK - I am really sorry - for those of you that don't follow my PTR or FB... I've been busy too... I've managed to draft a pattern for The Ultimate Disney park bag... Here's a few pictures, if you'd like to see more - there's a link in my siggy to the post in my PTR - with tons more pics.

Front:

Back:

Interior:

I think this is my FAVORITE.APPLIQUE.EVER! I love the colors, his expression, the utility of the bag. Everything!!!! Please do sell this pattern! Super, super, super cute!!

Then, I also got a new machine the other day - which I've managed to fully restore... Super excited about it, because it's a vintage machine that does a satin stitch for appliques. I've been in the market for a *new* machine since one of my Brothers died, and I've had to use Victoria's machine for appliqueing... I really wanted a Singer 401A - but now that I have this machine, I think I got lucky. It's a Singer 1961 503A - otherwise known as "The Rocketeer" or "Singer's Last Great Machine"...

A couple befores and afters... If you want to see more pics - again - they are in my PTR.

For a whopping:

Thanks for letting me share.

Oh, my goodness! How fantastic! What a bargain, too! While it is all fresh in your mind, would you mind listing the cleaning supplies and oils needed for a restoration(or PM me)? Beth is calling to me from the garage. I did discover that she has already been rewired, so I don't think we're going to have to do that! (I will still go over it all with a fine tooth comb, though to be certain!)

I'm asking for a new sewing table for Christmas, a really long one, so I can't wait to get things cleaned up and organized, including Beth!

Managed to get more done this weekend than I thought I would be able to accomplish.

So pretty! I love coordinating clothes for siblings!

I'm trying to get all my Christmas shopping and cards done AND have two kids with November birthdays, including a First birthday party (Minnie red dot theme!) to plan, so I am swamped! I'll be in and out of the thread for the next few weeks.

Regards,

Newbie here, just had to post because I'm excited about what I made for my daughter last night in time for our trip:

Now that I'm hearing it's been so hot, though, I wonder if she'll get a chance to wear them!

Wow! I wondered what that noise was! I'll be happy to accept the gift for Christmas and love and cherish it no matter what color it is!

 

[mphalens]

These are just the Beatles outfits I made for the Fab Faux concert (still need to get some better pics of Halloween costumes). ETA I swear I resized the pics in Photobucket so I have no clue why they remain huge!

Front:

AWESOME!!!!
I keep meaning to tell you - Just Fabrics in RI (yes, I know you aren't there, but I also know she'll ship at a reasonable price) has LOTS of the different Beatles fabrics if you need any more . . .

Not sure how I missed this earlier but these came out fabulous. You are going to be a big hit in WDW.

Thanks!

And Thanks to everyone else for the kind comments!!!

If anyone would like to come and help us with Evan's Big Give, it'd be AWESOME!! This little guy LOVES his characters, and there are still some to be used in creations for him! Also could use a few baby things, and maybe a rosetta for mom!!!!
Here he is dressed up for Halloween with his little sister Kiera!

If I get all my sewing done before our trip I will try to make something!

hehe i keep my fat butt behind the camera! but i wore my eeyore fleece pj pants and eeyore house coat! comfy and eveyone thought i was desses as an old lady i think! hehe...Gracie siad for us to wear our pajamas...so i did...we do that on christmas eve so maybe she was confused...who knows but it was nice to just go in and curl up and watch 'once upon a time' on the dvr after they all left!

Love the comfy halloween costumes! They're great, aren't they?

Okay here is the finished crayon roll

Great job!

When we ate 1900 PF I used Heather's Mad Hatter Mickey Head on the shirts and it got me complimentary PhotoPass pics that they take before you enter

oooh! that's some awesome pixie dust!

These are so cute! Perfect for a winter Disney trip. How did you make them????

lots of time, pin sticks and patience! It's like making a puzzle without the picture.

I'm open to either! I just don't have any SW themed fabric and it seems hard to get and I'm running out of time... Our trip is right after thanksgiving...
Thanks in advance!
Erica

Just Fabrics in RI has some of the Star Wars fabric - she's on Facebook and very helpful! Don't know if you feel you have enough time to order, but I know her Star Wars fabrics are $4.00 a yard

I did it...I made a crayon roll tonight. Thanks to Nini and her help

Great job!

I have a 21yo neice, that I don't really give Xmas gifts to any longer, but she is seriously excited to be taking her boyfriend to the World in Feb. for her 22nd Bday. I started to take her to Disney when she was 4 and she has gone every year until the last few because of work and school. She has a serious love for Disney and is hoping to show her boyfriend why she loves it so much.

Last year I did give her a zippered hoodie, with the beast outline on the front from HeatherSue. She loved it!! Beauty and the Beast is her absolute favorite. Well, Belle is her favoite and the beast comes with it. Boyfriend told her no matchie matchie shirts.

Any ideas? The weather at that time can be iffy. A shirt would most likely be covered up. I was thinking maybe a handbag? With Belle. But I don't want to get too involved. What does everyone think? Any super great ideas?

As soon as I read this I thought "Belle Rosetta" and I see others have had the same suggestion! Good luck!

this is a drive by posting..
we're headed toa family reunion for dh's mom's family so i am posting while i wait on the 'pumpkin crunch' to finish...new recipe i found on pinterest...smells yummers...
a few mos. ago a friend asked me to make her an apron for her wedding reception introduction...her's new hubs is a steelers fan,so she bought the steelers/gold fabric and pattern and i siad id do it for free if i could keep the left over fabric and pattern...well it was a reversible pattern but i thought it could be done one sided.i was wrong..easier to do reversible than try to make the back pretty..so i has soem pretty b/w fabric i used for the other side,and on pocket and fabric flower....it turned out really cute...i went to the steelers site and copied/inlarged nd flipped the 's' from a ladies tee. and appliqued it to the reverse {lady} side...her new last name is Simpson so it was a perfect app. so she has a game day apron and an everyday apron...

Super cute!!!

I know when I was planning my trip I looked for children around the world fabric for Epcot. Never could find what I was looking for. Well of course today I found some. Thought this was cute and someone else might benefit.

http://www.fabricworm.com/kopupiunnapi.html. It comes in 3 different colors too.

I'm trying to restrain myself from going to look at that link . . .

I am just an obsessive lurker (although everyone here has inspired me to start sewing- I have several dresses done for my daughter!) but I have used potato chip and cereal bags cut up for crinkle and they wash and dry well- just don't iron the cereal bags.

I always wondered if those would work!

Another "live" TR update:
Today was the last day at my conference. The session started at 9 but DL opened at 8 this morning, which meant I went over to DL before my conference again! I got pictures taken with Minnie, Chip & Dale, and Alice and Mad Hatter, got a Space Mountain fastpast, and rode Buzz Lightyear before heading over to the conference hotel. I went back to California Adventure this afternoon (session ended at 12) and rode some more headliners (ToT, California Screaming) and new rides (Little Mermaid, Goofy's Sky School). After 4 hours in the parks, I came back to the hotel for dinner and see what the Disboutiquers are up to . I am heading back to the parks in a bit. I don't think I will last until park close (11 for DL), but it will be nice to soak in the atmosphere for one more time before the next trip. My camera died again so I didn't get many good pictures. I need to look into that when I get home. I am mostly packed, I just need to throw in the last minute packing items on top of my suitcase tomorrow morning. In many ways I am ready to go home, since I have been away from home and on my own for a week. I missed my "normal" rountine!

I'm loving your live updates! I think it's fabulous you're getting to go to DL so much during your conference!

Managed to get more done this weekend than I thought I would be able to accomplish.

After making the crayon roll -- I think I'll make some as Christmas gifts for a few great-nephews and nieces.

Here's my Big Sister and Little Sister dresses and my first Taggie. So many projects running through my head...wish I could clone myself.

CUTENESS!

Those are FABULOUS!!!!


So - I'm home from my weekend trip to RI. I saw my best friend marry the perfect girl for him and I wouldn't trade that for the world, but man! do I want my voice back! My fall allergies that I always had when I lived in RI attacked and my voice is GONE. It is NOT fun to go to a wedding and see people you haven't seen in 12 years and not be able to talk. BUT! I DID get to meet Michelle and we had a fabulous time at Joann's before my voice was completely gone! I scored some great fabrics while I was there and when I went to Just Fabrics AND my mom & I hit the sewing machine/embroidery machine place and they had a buttonhole attachment for my 401a!!!! Happy Dance City, let me tell you!

I'll post pics of the fabrics . . . but I think I'm at or over my limit here . . .

 

[DMGeurts]

I already commented on your ptr, but dd just saw your bag. For the front pic she cracked up and then started this awful scream/squeal mimicking Donald very loudly into my ear. I may now have hearing loss thanks to you. And then when she saw the back she just lost it cracking up!

.

LOL Too funny... I am glad your dd likes it.

These are adorable and I love the taggie blanket - it looks super soft!

I may be eating a lot of Doritos tonight (that makes more sense than transferring them to a tupperware).

This makes the most sense to me, as well. Good thinking.

I think this is my FAVORITE.APPLIQUE.EVER! I love the colors, his expression, the utility of the bag. Everything!!!! Please do sell this pattern! Super, super, super cute!!

.

Thanks! I love how the applique turned out too. It goes perfectly with my sense of humor.

OK... The list of chemicals...

Kerosene (to clean the old gunky gummed up oil out of the machine)
GoJo (non pumice) to clean the outside of the machine.
Brasso (to clean the brass)
Toothpaste or a misture of HOT water, salt and baking soda to clean the tarnish off of the silver

Lots of qtips, toothpicks (to clean out the little cracks that the qtips can't get into) and cotton balls to buff in the GoJo...

I just feel like I am missing a few things... Here's the link to one of the websites that I found to be a huge resource. http://blog.sew-classic.com/categories/263/sewing-machine-repair.aspx

And a link on youtube that's awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bidpJsAzc2A

Hope that helps, and if you have any questions - please feel free to PM me.

[Maggie at the Fort]

I have spent the last two days catching up and everything looks awesome. The halloween costumes are so much fun to see. Satin scares the bejeebers out of me but maybe someday I will get brave!

I am super excited. I just signed up at the big give board and hope I can find some way to help out soon.

Then, I also got a new machine the other day - which I've managed to fully restore... Super excited about it, because it's a vintage machine that does a satin stitch for appliques. I've been in the market for a *new* machine since one of my Brothers died, and I've had to use Victoria's machine for appliqueing... I really wanted a Singer 401A - but now that I have this machine, I think I got lucky. It's a Singer 1961 503A - otherwise known as "The Rocketeer" or "Singer's Last Great Machine"...

A couple befores and afters... If you want to see more pics - again - they are in my PTR.

And I just had to say... this machine is a beauty! I sew on a Singer 301. I found it at a thrift store in the table for $10. It only does a straight stich but it will sew through anything.

THanks! I was just talking about the 301 in a PTR tonight... I love the look of the black 301 because it reminds me of a tommy gun from the gangster movies of the 40's. LOL If it would zig-zag, it would have been my top choice as a second machine... but since my sewing room is so small - I only have room for 3 machines, so I really have to be picky, and get machines that serve my purpose. Although - if I could get DH to put up a sturdy shelf in my sewingroom - I could splurge and buy all these wonderful machines, then swap them out when I get urge. LOL

I would love to see pics of your 301! And YAY for signing up on the BG board! <3

And - that buttonholer - AWESOME!!!! I need to learn how to use mine too... You know, Marianne, you've never posted pics of your machine either, come to think of it. It would be nice to see what that button holer attaches to... after all, you've been taunting me with that 401 of yours for months now... How do I even know you really have a 401??? Hmmmmm??????

Thanks for all the compliments on the jeans! Yes, I painted them with fabric paints. Now I'm deciding whether or not to iron on some crystals.
