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

[dianemom2]

This is adorable. I love the colors and the twirlability. (We call my daughter Emily by Emmy.)

The outfit is for my little niece. Her name is Emily also. I had my kids first but my SIL was quite clear that the name Emily was NOT to be used by me and DH when we were picking names. That's how my second daughter got the middle name of Emma instead of Emily.

So I made this skirt b/c I had some extra Tink fabric. The jeans were size 24 months but still fit in the waist so I cut the legs off. Super easy project.

I also finished a second Rapunzel dress.

Everything turned out great. I love being able to re-use something like the jeans and make them into something useable. The Rapunzel dress is adorable. I haven't bought any of that fabric yet because I have a ton of other fabric to use up. But I look at it everytime I go to Joanns.

I totally love the applique you chose. I am so going to try my hand at a stripwork skirt shortly.



Well I was going to ask but I am really not sure it is practical for my house. I have visions of the boy deciding to learn to play appropriately and seeing if it could be used as a sword or a baseball bat and I am just not ready for that.

Chiara, I got this idea from you and it turned out great. I started planning the second skirt with the other jellyroll that I bought. It will be quite different looking.

Talking about swords and baseball bats, when my DD (the one with ADHD) was little we brought her back a 2 foot tall wooden giraffe that was hand carved in Jamaica. She loved and played with it all the time. But when she was playing with it, she used to swing it around her room and smash it into everything like a baseball bat. Then one day I took it from her and I told her that if she kept smacking it into things it would break. As I told her this, I thumped the giraffe on the floor for emphasis. Well the stupid giraffe's head popped off and shattered into a million pieces right at that moment. All these years later I still hear about how I killed her giraffe. Sorry for the long story but that comment brought back memories!

 

[mommy2mrb]

I am here too....

Since I was one of the last to post last night and I had just posted a picture of my new grandson, I am going to repost it so you can all see....

Congratulations! he is adorable and the photo is just precious!

Wish me luck...we just pulled Mr D out of public school! It was not y intention to have this confrontation right now, but they decided it was necessary. I now know they have no idea how to teach a child with TBI. What I experienced today was proof of that! They were continuing to push the buttons as I was trying to diffuse the situation. After they left him alone, he calmed down and responded immediately to me.

Of course, they felt it necessary to have a police escort me to the room. Not really sure what they thought this fat old lady was going to do, but evidently they knew I was mad!

So, now to go to Disney to put this whole stupid episode behind me and then to decide what if any legal action we have available to us.

Fifteen more hours and I'm outta here!


Nini
PS...see how neatly I tied that back into Disney!

Nini, so sorry for the continued problems, sounds like you made the right choice in pulling him out!
sending you lots of pixie dust for a magical, happy trip!



Jessica 52877 lost your quote....love the shirt for the BG they are going to love it!!!

I need more neighbours for Gardens of Time. Anyone else play it and want another neighbour?

I had my sister and BIL sign up a while back so I could continue in the game and they are so far ahead of me now, there is no way to catch up. I'm stuck as I don't have enough neighbours to help me expand my garden and help me build my wonders.

I never thought of making jeans into a skirt -- I always just roll the short legs up and tell my dd they are capris, but she rarely buys it. Skirts it is from now on! Very cute.

I love the last photo but those identical girls aren't looking so identical anymore ~ it looks like they are really developing different features and hair. But one thing they all share is beauty!

 

[DMGeurts]

Awwww, they all look so cute! I love the precious dress on your baby!

I have some stuff to post too. Since we talked about making skirts from a jellyroll last week it has been on my mind. Today I went into Joanns and I found a jellyroll on clearance. I whipped up the skirt this afternoon but I can't figure out what character to put on a t-shirt to go with it. I'd love some suggestions for what would match with these colors:

Then I also made this. It was my first attempt at the smocking:

And a birthday gift that I made for my daughter to take to a friend's party this weekend:

This is the back:

Everything turned out amazing! You did great at your first smocking try. I just bought the thread for it last week, but I am too chicken to try it yet.

I can't wait to see what everyone did for the Project Runway!

Here is my T-shirt. I actually made it into a T-shirt as I got a great deal on the long sleeve shirt-$3 for an organic cotton. I wanted to add a wide zig zag stitch near the bottom if the hat in green, but I should have done that before doing the line above as I made the space too wide and I think 2 rows of stitching might look funny-what do you think?

This was the last thing I needed to do before we leave. Now if I have any time for sewing, I can work on my oldest niece's Halloween dress.

Perfect!!!

Hi,
I joined last week after lurking for a few weeks (my daughter is already part of your group). Not sure if I'm doing this right or not. Still trying to figure out everything. When I do I'll post some pictures.
Congratulations!!! The baby is adorable..love the picture of him in Daddy's pocket.
Really like all the cute outfits.
Sheila

Welcome back! Can't wait to see pics.

I love all the stuff you posted, but especially the jellyroll skirt! Such great colors!


I forgot to post a family photo so ya'll will recognize us if you see us:

And, Enabler Alert - I picked up nice short sleeve, 100% cotton St. John's Bay ladies t's at JCPenney today for $2.50 and Arizona polos in the Junior section for $6.99.

Regards,
C.

Adorable family pic. I totally missed quoting your outfits with the Peter Pan fabric... They really turned out nice - and I love how everyone coordinates so perfectly. Great job!

I finished another set tonight. These will be for Hollywood Studios.

so I was very excited to make Trooper Donald for him!
(oh, and btw, I have armor, too. This is us a few years ago. Yes, that's also a Star Wars guy named George. )
Leia Minnie for me - her dress is fabric left from my costume.

Heather Sue digitized R3-MK for me. He's SO cute!

And dd in her onesie dress. This was so easy and fun to make. I plan to do more for her after our trip!

Regards,
C.

Again - everything looks so perfect. I can't wait to see all your pics when you get back!

Been really busy this summer, first a trip to the beach in NC, then a trip to NY for a wedding and an engagement party, then to Florida to pick up this baby from my mom!

So, I finally have made my first embroidered designs and appliques!
I am making a dress for Sara Beth to wear to AG place next week for her bday...here are some sneak peaks:

And Here is a Feliz I make for the engagement party in NY.

She loved all the ruffles. She will be 8 next week but still loves ruffles and puffy sleeves!

Aweseome about the machine! That was so nice of your mom - and even better with all the thread. Your Feliz turned out beautiful!

Two more things to share. I teach preschool and thought I would make them small gifts this year for their brithday. Well, there are 3 this week! I only have 10 kids!! This is what I stayed up late last night working on...I need to make 1 more tonight and then I am good for a few months!

Thanks for looking!

What a cute idea.... I love the stitching on the edge of "rocks".

Wish me luck...we just pulled Mr D out of public school! It was not y intention to have this confrontation right now, but they decided it was necessary. I now know they have no idea how to teach a child with TBI. What I experienced today was proof of that! They were continuing to push the buttons as I was trying to diffuse the situation.

PS...see how neatly I tied that back into Disney!

Nini - I am so sorry that it had to come down to this. I sure hope there is some sort of legal action you can take - it seems like such a discrimination issue to me.

Despite that - I hope you have a fabulous trip.

I will try to quote more later... must work out and get ready for work.

This is a BG I sent to Katelyn and family. Mom loves Mulan and Katelyn had Mulan on her favorites list as well. I made the Mulan t's for mom and Katleyn and dad got Mushu. I just did a dec skirt (Katelyn is 10 y/o) and a coordinating tote.

I don't why my fabrics look all wrinkled on the appliques -- they really look normal in person. The obi on the kimono is a blue as in the movie though it kind of looks purple in the photos, and the purple fabric for the deco is sparkly which doesn't show in the photo.

And a huge thanks to HEATHERSUE for sending me the designs -- I requested Mulan and Mushu and she sent Little Dog as well (which I didn't even know she had the design for). She's the greatest!!!!!!

Sometime early this morning punks broke into our car while we were packing it. Two DVD players, 2 GPS and who knows what eles were stolen. Not a great start to the trip.

Hubby had just dropped off his police car for some maintenance to be done while we were gone. We figure they weren't from our neighborhood or else they would have thought better of it! Bad thing is...he Saw them walking around the neighborhood.

We are in Florida now, just crossed the border. Disney for lunch!

Thanks for the good thoughts and wishes concerning my son.

I am sure your trip will improve drastically once you get to Disney! Sorry about the bad start to the trip But have a great time on your vacation!

Kirsta and I leave for Disney on Saturday. It sort of crept up on me. Family matters has kept me super stressed and I've sewing to keep from thinking about it. I just looked at the forecast and it looks like 60% storms all week, except for Friday. Which we planned on a water park and then MNSSHP. Just my luck. I didn't think I'd ever make it back, and due to the generosity of a realative, we planned our trip. Well, at least we won't be at home and work.

[aboveH20]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I don't know if it was the cat who likes to walk all over the keyboard or dis, but I just lost the whole sob story I had written about my sewing of yesterday.

I won't retype it, but let's just say I'm here because I need a Disney fix.

And as hard as it may be, face the reality that no one will.

<-----He might like to upgrade to one of mine.

You know I was going to ask but I figured it would require a skill level that I just don't have.

It does take a certain je ne sais quois. (Did I get that right?)

Good luck with your sewing. That has to be the most "royal looking" plunger I have ever seen!

Thank you. You have excellent taste by the way.

I think boys can figure out how to make anything a weapon -- it's hardwired.

You just can't catch a break!!! Hope things turn around with your first bite of lunch.

I saw all of the shirt you made -- very impressive. I the variety you made and how they were all coordinating, not necessarily matching.

ENJOY DISNEY.

I love them both. My dd wants a rapunzel dress for when whe meets her. It was the last thing to do and I am running out of time. We shall see. We plan to pull out around 11 tonight.

These are so cute. You don't see Mulan stuff so often. She should love it.

Great job Andrea I love what you did with the skirt. I want to try that one day.

Chiara, the skirt is so easy to do. You don't have to take it apart like jeans and I didn't even fuse the fabric squares on -- I just slapped them in place and zig-zagged around them. A very fast project.

First the missing $$$, then the school issues and now this?! Definitely time for Disney magic. It's not quite lunch time yet, but it will be very soon! You really deserve this vacation!

I'm sorry you've been stressed, but sewing is hopefully a good distraction, especially if you're sewing for Disney. I hope you have a wonderful trip.

Nope, too top heavy

It does take a certain je ne sais quois. (Did I get that right?)
You need to omit the "s" at the end


PS How are you at medieval men's wear?
I would love to help but I have no idea how to sew. I just come to this thread to look at the pictures. I buy things from other people and pretend I made them (that sounds plausible, doesn't it?).

 

[babynala]

Someone asked about my daughter...she is SarahJN. In the photo she is holding a camera

Nini, Hope you have a nice vacation and everyone enjoys their trip. Hopefully, when you return refreshed you'll be able to find the right school for your son.

Noticed someone mentioned Just Fabrics in Cranston, RI. Do you like it? Hope to get there someday...lately our nearest Joanna's is getting boring.

Sheila

Welcome, I guess you are the lucky grandma to those three beautiful little girls.

I didn't think I'd get to this until later tonight but I ended up having a few minutes to snap some pictures while the kids were doing homework:

Love how you did the acorn, it looks perfect with that skirt.

Love the tink skirt, I think I might try that for my DD. Your 2 Rapunzels and one Strawberry Shortcake look so cute.

I thought I was losing my mind....couldn't figure out why there were no updates for the DISBoutique....you all moved on me and left me all alone

I'm hear now, will get caught up to see what I missed

glad you made it.

I can't believe it. What a crummy way to start your trip. Glad you are already in FLA and I'm hope you will be enjoying that Disney lunch soon.

Yeah for your trip. I wouldn't worry about the weather. My DH and I were at Disney at the beginning of the month and showers were forecasted everyday. We ran into a few storms but only took out our ponchos once. It kind of worked to our advantage because the parks cleared out and there was barely a crowd when Illuminations was over. Hope you have a great trip.

Thank you.

I think it's beginning to work. After some modifications my husband can at least get the shirt over his head.

(The shirt's not for him, but he and my son are about the same size.)

PS That's just the FIRST problem I need to fix.

Yes, and I had to look it up b/c I didn't remember the dog from the movie either! I've only seen Mulan once and it was a few years ago.
