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

[Tweevil]

You *might* want to wait until Cyber Monday...they just did a free shipping code, so other deals may come up soon. Good luck!!

~Jennifer

I have been heavily researching this b/c my dd wants the Palomino horse. Last year dolls were not on sale at all. Only one foal was on sale (1/2 price) and no horses were on sale. Many outftis were on sale for approx half off and many accessories were on sale. These were all cyber Monday deals. Also, they had serious internet problems last year so have the phone number handy as you may have to call. My dd only wants the horse and accessories, so I am hoping for lots of accessories to be on sale again. She doesn't want clothes -- she wants me to make her doll clothes to match the outfits I've made her.

Cyber Monday is the day to shop the AG on-line sale. However, in the past they have not had any dolls on sale. Just clothing, books and accessories. If you want to shop the Cyber Monday sale, you need to get on the computer in the extremely early morning hours or you can't get through. They have had some amazing deals in the past. You never know, maybe they will have some of the dolls on sale this year.

Thank you so much everyone! I am going to wait until Cyber Monday and hit the site early!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Getting ready to leave for thanksgiving dinner and just wanted to pop in to say Happy Thanksgiving!

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Anyone have a Babylock Elizabeth? Any plusses/minuses over a Janome?

I'm having an impossible time finding a Janome machine to demo but I loved the Babylock (and the dealer).

Four "local" Janome dealers have me pulling my hair out-
1 won't let me demo any machines ("but they are great")
1 will only let me demo a machine before 3pm during the week (I work till 3)
1 works on commission and gave me a very hard sell (made me uncomfortable)
1 is nearly an hour away but I'll drive there Friday morning (the 3pm store is closed Friday of course)

I don't have any suggestions but I hope you will be able to find a machine that works best for you.

LOVE LOVE LOVE all of the fabulous things that have been posted!!! I'd attempt to quote, but I have a few seconds to post and then I have to get some more stuff done before heading to bed.

I had a very productive day (even if my two rascals didn't) today! I am happy to say that I only have 6 sewing/crafting items left before I am DONE with my "Disney Outfit List" !!!

Just in case you're curious, I'll tell you what they are:
1. Ruffle bottom added to jean skirt for MBYBBQ (for me)
2. Pirate Roll-up Pants (for me)
3. Mickey Capri Pants (for me)
4. Figment Jean Skirt (for me)
5. Mickey Head Epcot Flags Jeans (for me - but not sewing, just iron-on designs)
6. Mickey Mouse "Toms" (for me - and they're last on the list because I won't cry if I don't get them done)

So - what all did I do today? I'll show you!

From the Left we have:
Finn's embellished overalls for MBYBBQ with the plain yellow shirt to wear under them
Phalen's embellished jeans (I just did the very bottoms with the "ranch" fabric) and shirt for MBYBBQ
My AK Zebra shirt and black knit skirt with small Mickey head
My shirt for MBYBBQ (I haven't finished my skirt yet)
The boys Mad Hatter Tie T's for 1900 Park Faire breakfast (they have Alice in Wonderland print shorts to wear with these)
Back & Front of the boys Christmas shirts (in case we go to MVMCP) - they have a Christmas plaid pants to wear with these
Phalen's AK shirt and shorts (as of 11:30 tonight I chopped the bottoms off of his AK roll-up pants because I didn't want to hear about how he didn't want roll-up pants any more and it's going to be 75 degrees that day)
Finn's Gorilla AK shirt and pants - I MIGHT add the roll-up tabs to these, but if I don't I can still roll them up without the tabs since they have the roll-up "lining"
And, what I think are my FAVORITE of everything I've made so far - my "Classic Mickey Head" shirts and the boys Comic Mickey Easy Fit Pants!!!!

I also got the boys park bags ready with all of there little $1 store goodies - you know, all that junk they want to spend lots of money on at the park but you can get at the Dollar Tree? Glow sticks, bracelets, candy, small notebooks and colored pencils and crayons, tic tac toe, stamps & stickers, stuff like that

Phew!

Oh! One last thing! Can you all PLEASE tell me which Mickey Head you like the best for my Mickey Shoes???

A-

I bought black TOMS knock offs at Payless and I have all the paints I need to do these, just can't decide which one looks best!!! Thanks!!!!

I can't wait to see the pictures of your clothing in action! I hope your family will have a great trip! I would vote for A as well. I wish I had half the ability to draw like you.

All right, must go finish packing. Everyone have a fabulous Thanksgiving. So far our meal is a disaster. DH forgot to stuff the turkey so now I need to go make stuffing out of the turkey and I bought baking potatoes instead of boiling potatoes to make D's casserole so now I'm doing twice baked pots instead. Good thing it's only family! Need to go cook now though b/c we just want to heat everything up this evening when we get to our cabin.

But I did get the dogs bathed so that's off the list -- my sister is house and dog sitting for us and I didn't want her to have to deal with stinky feet doggies.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

I hope your family will have a nice time at the cabin even though things didn't start off on the right foot this morning.

So happy for your family! And I love the pics of the grands sewing!!!


Thanks everyone for all the encouragement! I had to take a little break from the machine to eat dinner and check in.

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the bestie and her DH's family and another friend of ours yesterday. After dinner the guys put the kids to bed (DH took ours home) and Amber & I headed to Toys R Us. I didn't have but a couple of things I was interested in there, but she needed a bunch. We missed getting in line with our friends, but we weren't too far back in line and everyone was in a great mood. We were in and out of TRU in 25 minutes and I scored B1G150% off Ninjago battle packs for Phalen.
After TRU we dropped off another of our friend's car in the Kohls parking lot and headed to the Walmart with the largest toy department (good thing too, because the other Walmart we would have gone to had fights, etc. break out). OMG! Jori (the other friend with us) and I have shopped black friday for years and were together last year - neither of us had EVER seen Walmart like we did last night. It was actually scary. I didn't get the sewing machine case I wanted, but I did get DH's birthday present (the WiFi streaming box) and one of the $30 1600 piece lego sets as well as some other things. I didn't buy any of the pajamas or character t's I'd gone for though
After Walmart we headed to the Kohls right near there (not the one where Jori's car was parked) because it was already 12:30 and I was after their $49 camera deal. WHAT A ZOO! They didn't have their indoor traffic pattern working the greatest, so we checked out at the jewelry counter (I scored teh $24 reversible down alternative comforters for the boys, a twin blanket, a new hand mixer, the camera and a charm for my Troll beads bracelet). We left there and took Amber home, ran by our houses and then headed to the mall for the Disney Store and a stocking stuffer I needed at Wolf Camera. Turns out they weren't opening until 6am (although many stores at the mall WERE open), so I took Jori to her car and I decided to head into THAT Kohls to see if I could get the other blanket I needed and if there were any great deals that I'd missed at the other location. Not only did they have the blanket I needed, but the store was pretty empty of shoppers and they'd already recovered the merchandise from the mad rush I got the blanket, a pair of shoes, two Cars2 cars Finn doesn't have, and a Greatest Papa Ever frame (the boys call my dad Papa). Plus another $15 in Kohls cash! (I earned $60 total)
After that I'd hit my second wind and went to BRU to grab wipes for Jori (she went home to bed at 4:15 and BRU didn't open until 5am). From there a friend texted me that she was on her way to Kmart and I knew they had a couple of things I'd wanted, so I went to meet her. Not only did I score the Trio Hot Wheels set I wanted for Finn, but I got two 4gb SD cards for big gives and they had Utz brand Crab chips for $1 a bag!!! My dad LOVES these and we haven't been able to find him any in a year. I bought 4 bags to wrap up for Christmas!
From Kmart I headed back to the mall for the Disney Store - scored Siddley for Finn and then got the two stocking stuffers for my parents at Wolf Camera. I went to Barnes & Noble to grab some Starbucks (it was 6:30 by this point and I couldn't go pick up the boys from DH until at least 8am). While I was there I thought I'd poke around - ended up scoring a Ninjago battle arena/carrying case for $9.95, a book of Ninjago for Phalen, a Cars2 book with all of the characters - sort of an encyclopedia if you will, the Cars2 read along with cd (both of those 50% off) and a YoYo tricks gift set for Phalen with two different yoyos. I spent $30
After that I made the 45 minute drive to pick up the boys from DH's work - only to have to then stay there for over an hour while we tried to figure out what they'd done with DH's paycheck since it hadn't been deposited into our account NOR did he have a live check. Our bank isn't open on Saturday, so we needed the money today or we'd be out of luck on our trip for money
Needless to say, I finally made it home at 11 - fell into bed with the boys and we napped until 1:30. I got up and started sewing and I've finished my Figment skirt and I'm 1/3 of the way done with the sewing of my Mickey Capris.

Phew! Are you tired just reading that??? I promise to post pics when everything is done and I will try to do a couple of live updates from the parks We're pre-ordering the photopass cd, so there will be LOTS of pics!!!

Marianne... I totally missed your post - and i know it's too late to reply, since you leave today... but I like "A" the best. I can't wait to see these shoes! Super excited!

Question not related to sewing....

Do you think American Girl Dolls will have a sale this weekend? I am buying one for my niece and I want to get the best deal possible on Kaya.

Thank you for any wisdom you can provide.

Cyber Monday is a great day to shop at AG online. The sales are usually posted at midnight, and once the items are gone, they're gone. So, the earlier you get on, the better. That said, they have never ever had dolls on sale at any time (except for their latest offer on Cecile and Marie Grace with the 25% off), but there is a first for everything. This is the first year I won't be stalking the cyber Monday sales... Even though youngest dd says she still wants some AG for Christmas, she hasn't touched her dolls in a very long time... so I am trying to use up the stash I have for her.

D~

I may have to stalk Cyber Monday on AG since there are a couple things the girl wants for Christmas.

Here are a few things I have worked on in the last week. First is my DD's Harry Potter shirt. It has the Hogwarts crest on it.

Here is a close up of the crest. It took an hour to stitch this out. But it turned out pretty well. My daughter LOVED it. She snatched it from me and ran upstairs to put it on right away. Usually she won't wear anything I make her.

Here is her other Harry Potter shirt. This one is for the HP movie marathon next weekend.
Front:

Back:

Then I made these to go in my DDs' Rosetta bags. They will be part of their Chanukah gifts:

And this one if for my mother in law:

It matches her Rosetta bag and Patricia tunic that I made earlier. My girls will bring these to her as gifts during winter break when they fly down to visit her.

Hi! I've been overwhelmed with life lately and keep falling behind here. (I don't think I even shared the Halloween outfits I made.) I finally finished my first feliz. My girls are 4.5 years old and small so I made the size 3T-4T. I didn't think it would be so big - the entire overskirt almost fits all the way around her. I think I may leave out the seam allowance for the next one to make it smaller. We are in New England so they will be wearing shirts underneath but the dress is still huge.

Hi!

I LOVE that Minnie Dress!!!

I just got that pouch from Pickle Pie - how did it stitch out? Did it take long? Was it tricky?

Would anyone like to stitch out a Harry Potter shirt for our Big Give Teen Lindsay? She is a HP LOVER!!!!! I think that is the whole reason they are going to US!!!! lol

So who bought the most yardage of fabric at Joann's yesterday??????

I think Im going to try to make pillow pets! I was standing in line at Joann's today and AFTER I got my fabric cut, It came to my mind to make Tim a Perry the Platypus pillow pet!! They had the right color fleece and everthing - I'll use Heathers Perry face and then make a tail. Do you think I should make arms/legs for him????? I was thinking Minnie for the girls, but not sure how to do the face for that....does anyone have just the face????

Can you point me to the pattern for this one again? I forgot to bookmark it when it was first posted. Thanks.

I am behind on this thread again and there's WTMTQ but great stuff posted lately!

I did manage to finish a Thanksgiving dress for Alexa. I probably won't be in a hurry to do this pattern again because it took forever!

It turned out a little more "Little House on the Prairie" than I had envisioned but that may have something to do with the cowboy boots she insists on wearing.

Here is the outfit I did for Barbara's auction. Alexa is modeling it here.

And the capris.

I love the HP shirt - it really turned out wonderful! And I really love the little accessory bags you made - they turned out perfect and will be a wonderful addition to the Rosettas.
