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

This is even funnier -- I e-mailed my dh telling him I needed to run to the fabric store for Beatles fabric. We are going, as a family, to see the Fab Faux which is a Beatle tribute band. Of course dd wants an outfit and ds said he wanted a shirt to. My dh had the nerve to e-mail me back and ask me what I wanted Beatles fabric for :lmao:

Fortunately I got the last of the bolt -- not as much as I wanted, but dd is getting deco jeans and I am going to combine ds's shirt with some black on black music notes so my 1.5 yards will do.

Aw man! I wish I'd known you needed Beatles fabric! Just Fabrics had tons of it (different prints) the last time I was there and it was in the discount area too!
 
Help! A long time ago, someone posted decoupage Capris that they made for themselves and maybe even a friend. They were Mickey themed....

I need to make a pair for my mom and I for a fundraiser, but want to show her that pic first. Anybody remember who it is?
 
Does anyone know where I might find a Space Ranger badge embroidery design?? It's just like the badge that is on Buzz's arm that has a letter "S" and "R" with a small rocket/space ship in the middle of the letters. I know I saw the embroidery design somewhere, but I didn't buy it at the time and now I'm kicking myself in the ****! It would love to have it to put on the sleeve of a Buzz inspired bowling shirt. I know if anyone can help me, you girls and Tom can!

HELP!!
 
Sarah & Andrea, I did go online and check their hours so Walmart's locator/website hasn't been updated. That has definitely taught me to call first:idea:

Can't wait to see what you make with the fabric that you got!

I'm having a bad sewing day. I just ruined two shirts! One right after the other and for different reasons! On the first shirt the fabric on the applique shredded because the satin stitch was too dense. On the second shirt my tension got messed up and the machine locked up. Then the shirt popped out of the hoop, making a hole where the needle bent as it popped out!!!:scared1: I guess I will be going back to the store for more shirts but I am not sure when. Tonight and tomorrow is our holiday! Friday I am very excited about going to the sewing expo though!

That is funny b/c I thought about calling her! I found some on line for only $5 a yard as well, but I also knew our small Joanne's had the fabric forever. I kept looking at b/c my dh likes the Beatles but never knew what to make him (this was 2 yrs ago when I first saw it). Well, now dh bought Beatles Rockband so the kids are into them and beleive me, I remembered where that fabric was.

For dd I am doing deco jeans and I think a knit top with possibly an applique and ds is getting a bowling shirt which will be black with the fabric since I don't think I have enough for solid. I also thought about making him just a long sleeve t and doing lettering of the B-E-A-T-L-E-S all the way around it haphazardly. I will see what he wants. For dd's jeans I have the one Beatles fabric and then a music note print and two psychedelic style dot prints. I think HeatherSue has a peace design I can use or otherwise I may just applique the fabric on in different sized circles -- need to draw it out and see what would work.

Maybe I will call Just Fabrics tomorrow b/c jeans with different Beatles prints look cool -- etsy has a pair for a mere $110 (I can make mine for much less!).
 
Never thought I'd find a sewing group on the Disboards! Psst...I sew too! I don't have as much time as I used to for sewing, but I am getting ready to teach my homeschooled kids how to sew very soon. I am inspired! I've been wanting an embroidery machine for years, so seeing all the pictures on this thread is pushing me to start committing to buying one! Yay!

Welcome! I look forward to seeing your projects!

Yesterday was Magic Kingdom day! Got to ride all the gang member's favorite rides at least once, most twice. Still managed to leave the park by 5 and grab a quick shower to head over to Epcot for dinner at Biergarten.

The weather was very warm, but some cloud cover with a slight breeze blowing. The crowds were very light. The fun was very FUN!!!

Biergarten was so so. It has never been my favorite place to eat. (way too loud for me!) But since we lived in Germany for 2 and a half years, my older kids LOVE German food (as well as Hubby!) so I always get out voted! So I am guessing that 9 out of 10 in our group loved it and one found it so so!

Today we are headed to DHS. We are supposed to eat at Sci FI Drive In...but I am thinking we will just have a CS meal and cancel the TS meal. We actually have one too many dinners, so this will work better for my pocket book...and I'm sure you all know about the money issue we have....

To those who want to know...Free dining is the bounceback offer right now...but only for dates in Sept and Aug next year...yay for free dining, boo for the dates offered!


Nini

Glad to hear that you had a great day at Magic Kingdom. Thank you for your review of Biergarten. I think I am going to seriously think about trying Biergarten or not for our next trip!

In terms of the Bounceback, here's the flyer for those of you who may be interested (picture taken during our August trip):

I have no idea why Photobucket won't let me rotate the picture. Note that you only get CS dining plan at moderates and regular dining plan at AKL or WL (which is why we booked on the Canadian free dining deal instead).

I can't believe that I drove to Woonsocket, RI to check out the fabric at the Walmart....only to discover that the store is NO LONGER THERE...even the store sign was down.:mad: When did that happen? I was there at least 3 months ago to pickup oil for my car -- I saw some awesome fabric but didn't have the time to really shop.

Sheila

Sorry to hear that...it seems strange that they didn't update their website.

I look forward to seeing what you ended up creating for the Beatles tribute band concert.

Sorry to hear about your embroidery problems. I hope your family will enjoy time together during the holiday.

Husbands just don't get it. ;) Although mine was very much on board with buying bookcases from Ikea for our basement so I could set up a sewing supply nook.
 
I finished our first Halloween skirt this weekend. I need to do at least 2 more (one for Allie and one for Anna.) We went a bit crazy at the fabric store so I have enough for 10 more skirts. :)

Hope you like BIG pictures:

Just adorable! I have not seen that fabric, but truth be told I have not looked at Halloween fabrics yet this year (I know, shame on me!).

QUESTIONHas anyone ever stitched anything from Kewl design / Kewl stitches? If so, how did it stitch out (only place I can find anything Beatles).
 
Disney Hollywood Studios Day!

Luckily, we had already done DHS with just the 4 of us, so it didn't really bother us too much that we had to miss out on some things we wanted to do. It is really difficult to get 10 people all in the same place at the same time!

Mr D was again the Rebel Spy in Star Tours, so we tell him we have to watch him a little closer since obviously Disney knows something about him that we don't know!!

The only time we experienced crowds was when the parade went by and we had to wait on it to get to where we were going....weather was a s hot as ever, with only a few stray clouds.

We ended up not doing Sci Fi Drive In. It would have been out of pocket, and we were all tired. We went back to the room a little after 5 and spent the evening in the pool. We had a CS meal at POFQ and then went to bed early!

We did decide to not travel with family next trip...it is too stressful traveling with the whole family. (My DS and DIL took a teenage girl that is supposed to be there to 'watch' the grand daughter. So, how come I am the one who is babysitting? She spent the night with us last night because they wanted to do EMH at Epcot. They were eating with the Princesses and she had to eat CS.....)

Today is our AK/Epcot split day. I am thinking of leaving my husband's phone at the room on 'accident'. They are having his friends funeral today. He is upset because he was supposed to be a pall bearer, and everyone keeps calling him asking why he won't cut his vacation short. They have almost convinced him to fly back and let us fend for ourselves getting home. (I can't drive for long distances since my mini stroke.)

We discovered last night we have extra CS credits (probably from not eating lunch on our first day here!) so we are going to Pizzafari for breakfast this morning...IF I can get everyone up and at 'em...so far it is just me and DS. DD, DGD, and DH are still snoring away....15 minutes after being woke up!!!


===============

I have to say...the Easy Tether I bought for my Droid is the best investment EVER! Even with my phone battery low I can still surf just as quickly as with my Hi Speed at home! I am sold! Seriously thinking about putting it on hubby's phone as well...not that HE would know how to use it, but it would give me a back up.

=================

Still have not used the photopass more than once or twice. Going to have to use it pretty heavy these last 2 days to get my money out of it...I'm thinking we will have to hit every photog we see for the last 2 days to make it semi worth the money I have already spent! Plus we get that stupid photo book from the free dining promotion.

Oh, my free dining flyer is the same picture, but offers the regular dining for moderates. I keep going over and over it to make sure...because the one in my DS room also says only the QS dining for moderates... Mine is definitely different! Now if we can just choose the dates.



(sorry for so jumbled up....not sure what is going on with my tired old brain!)

The first skirt turned out great! Such cute fabric! Will the other two skirts be the same fabric or different.

Andrea- I haven't used Kewl Stitches. I hope your design turns out well!
 
Nini, My goodness what a crazy vacation you are having. Hope today is relaxing for you. Sorry to hear about all the pressure your husband is getting from his fellow workers.
Andrea, sorry you messed up two shirts. That was my worse fear when I stitched around a princess on a t-shirt.
Sarah, I love the skirt and expect to see the other two by Monday morning.:cheer2:

Sorry - I only had time to quote the current page... I have to get up to my sewing room for an hour before work today.

Nini, it sounds like a crazy trip you are having. I am so sorry that DH's coworkers are making him feel so guilty - that's not right. Especially since you have a very legitimate reason for not being able to drive back.

I hope the rest of your trip goes with out a problem. :wizard:

Love the skirt. I haven't even thought of Halloween LOL

I am the opposite. I am always planning too far ahead! I did Halloween and Thanksgiving outfits in the summer. Now I am working on spring outfits for my niece. Then I will have to hope that she doesn't out grow them before I give them to her. I also need to make a couple of bowling shirts for my nephews for this spring.
 
Love the AG outfit and photos, looks like a great birthday!

the little halloween skirts are adorable!


Nini, sorry about your DH's friends I'd leave the phone too, as hard as it is for him in my book family ALWAYS comes first.
sounds like you are having a fun and crazy trip....I would never be able to do WDW with my family :eek:
 
I know I asked before, and it did get answered, but I misplaced it. What is the pattern called for the ruffled purse?

It's called the Rosetta, found on You Can Make This. :thumbsup2

Okay, now my turn to ask a repeat question :laughing:

ANYONE know where I saw the Buzz Lightyear arm design embroidery design?? I know I saw it somewhere, but can't find it now to save my life and it's makin' me CRAZY!! It was the letters "S" and "R" with a spaceship/rocket between the letters, surrounded by a somewhat geometric shape. Anyone? Ferris? Bueller?
