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

[mphalens]

ROFL - AAAAnnnnndddddd she loses everything... Is someone due for an exam????


Anyways... Poor Marianne has been kicked out of my PTR for a few days, because I made her an Ultimate Disney Park Bag - and she can't see it until it gets delivered in the mail. Which means I can't post it here either, but I will post the link to my post in my PTR so you all can see it too... (No, Marianne, you can't click on it)

Marianne's bag Enjoy!!!

D~

Cruel and unusual I tell you!
​

Very very awesome that D~ agreed to make me a bag and I was willing to let her surprise me with the fabrics & features . . . but knowing that those pictures are just SITTING THERE in her PTR, it's killing me not to look! But I won't - I'm a girl of my word!

BUUUUUUUUUT . . . None of YOU promised not to tell me about it ​

Hi Everyone - I have some sad news.....One of our little Big Give children, Hannah is not doing well at all. Her latest blog post talks bout the major medications that she is on for pain relief, the oxygen and how mom is just loving her baby as she struggles - and, how much she will miss her Hannah...Mom came to me with one request. She would like to make a book of celebration for Hannah - I think it may be to use as a guest book at her funeral. She would like it to have a minnie mouse type cover (I can get many more details from mom- Carrie). She would like to have the people at her funeral write happy memories about Hannah in it. She is willing to pay, but cant afford much - but will try to raise money if she needs to for one of the disboutiquers/scrapbookers to make this book for her baby. If anyone is willing and able to do this, please pm, facebook or email me and I will connect you with mom. We did her give back in April, and they appreciated it so much - I feel this is an honor that mom has looked to us for help in their time of need....

Hannah is such a cutie pie - please say a prayer for peace for her and her family!!!!!

So sad.

D- I love the bag. That is one my favorite characters!

Andrea- I also didn't know you were an optometrist. I am still cracking up about the Mickey buttons!

I finally got to make the chemo caps for my friend. Just in time too. Her hair is starting to fall out and she's coming over tomorrow so that I can shave her head for her. Here are a couple of pictures:

Please excuse the lumpy looking head. I used some cans of diced tomatoes because I was too lazy to go upstairs and get my wig stand.

I made two of each color that I bought:

I still have enough fabric left to make two more of each color. I hope that they fit my friend. I used my measurements but when I was done the hats felt a little snug.

That is so sweet of you to do - making the caps and helping her shave her head.

These turned out really nice... They look very comfy and just the right weight of material. This is just so very nice of you to do.

I didn't expect you to check the Disbou thread quite so quickly. And no one is going to tell you about the bag either... Except maybe Andrea... she is lurking for $$ again.



I responded to the request for Hannah on Facebook - I am willing to donate a bit of $$ to help out with supplies, but I don't have the time to put anything together for this sweet family.

I am coming over to take a look right now!

 

[VBAndrea]

Let me know if you do need anything. I need an excuse to go over there

Well I am better because I wanted to go back on Sunday and use my 25% coupon again

I learn something new everyday. I didn't know you were an optomestrist.

I will likely just call and order so I can put it on a credit card. I think I'll just get 2.5 yards of every print she has to be safe! Or should I get 3 yds of each? Trying to be budget oriented.

Yep, I'm an optometrist. I work really part time -- last month I worked 2 whole days! I keep going back and forth between opening an etsy shop or looking for more part time work. I make good $$ when I do work, but sewing is more fun. We live on dh's salary and all my $$ goes into savings right now, but I'd love some extra money to do more for BG's. I like doing a set for an entire family and that's not always feasible.

I am so sad for the family. I especially remember the older adopted sister being so afraid of losing Hannah.

Andrea- I also didn't know you were an optometrist. I am still cracking up about the Mickey buttons!

I still haven't found those dang buttons and it's been almost two years since I bought them!

I love the caps you made ~ you're a good friend Hopefully they will fit fine once her hair is shaved off (that's so sad to think about). I wish your friend nothing but the best.

Cruel and unusual I tell you!

I can tell you all about the bag and send you copies of the photos if you'd like if the price is right

I am in love.

Saw the preview photos -- now headed over to your ptr.

First....prayers for little Hannah and her family.

Glad to know I'm not the only one that buys things for the future and then can't find them when I need them.

Told my daughter last night that we need to make a trip to Just Fabric in RI. Maybe the next time she has some vacation time. That is if there's any fabric left with the way you guys are buying it all.

Happy Sewing to everyone...now where is that Christmas fabric?

IT is a very good day. My dad called and I get to go home from work early

So I am hoping to get something accomplished this afternoon.

 

[VBAndrea]

I was supposed to spend today trying out my new machine, but that isn't happening. Now no snide remarks since I already *misplaced* the Mickey buttons.... I got my license renewal notification in the mail and I know I need to do more CE (continuing Education) so I went to my folder in the filing cabinet to see how many credits I had done already. My big file folder was right where it should be, but I have a subfolder with the current year's CE and printouts. IT'S MISSING!!!! I have spent the entire morning going through every folder and every paper and it's no where to be found. I am able to access 9 hours of credit on line and print up new forms, but I know there is at least one missing. Grrrr! So for those of you who pray, please say a little (or very BIG) prayer for me that I find the folder. I am honestly a fairly organized person so this is really ruined my day.

And sorry, I know that has nothing to do with sewing but I did take pics of some things this morning -- just no time to get them off my camera since I am having an anxiety attack over my missing folder! My day didn't start out good -- it was supposed to be ds's teacher's last day and I brought her gift in to her this morning and the sub was there!!!!!!!! A day early!!!!!!! She is supposed to stop in tomorrow though so I left the gift with the sub. Not a good day for me

Andrea...

I have been there and done that!
Just 2 weeks ago I decided to reopen some of my wholesale accounts. I have a file folder in the filing cabinet with all my tax info (EIN, tax resell numbers etc.) In the past they only needed the numbers...this time they needed a copy of the actual form...

After 3 days of tearing everything up looking for those stupid files I offered my DD $5 to find them. I was describing what I wanted her to find, she reached over to the top of the stack I had JUST went through...and said"you mean, like this?" Yup. THAT was the file I had spent 3 DAYS looking for.

I feel your pain. But you know it will turn up. I mean it is not like it grew legs and walked away!

Andrea... I am so sorry you lost that folder... I will say a prayer that you find it. Now, about that eye exam we were talking about...

D~ <---who has refused to wear her glasses all year, and hasn't lost anything yet.

Andrea sending prayers your way. I hope you find the folder.

I packed a couple orders for the scrapbook store.

Great job on the caps. Sending prayers for your friend too

so i have been looking at every ones pictures and am so inspired i am going to make a dress for dd when we go to Disney in Oct. I went to hobby lobby tonight and found some really cool little mermaid trim now i have to figure out how to use it! it was even on clearance

i bought the Ariel trim because that is my dd fave

My DD love mermaids too.

I will likely just call and order so I can put it on a credit card. I think I'll just get 2.5 yards of every print she has to be safe! Or should I get 3 yds of each? Trying to be budget oriented.

I like doing a set for an entire family and that's not always feasible.

I would just go with 3 yards... better to have more than not enough But that could just be my hoarding side talking

And I think you do well with an Etsy store. Your outfits are always amazing especially those patchwork skirts.

No laughing at you as I did this yesterday when my less than a year old dryer went and cannot find any paperwork on it. Luckily Sears had it in their system and it was still covered under the mfg warranty.

WooHoo

 

[connie1042]

Now i have been reading this forum for a while. Had some clothes made for my granddaughters trip in May. So now Christmas is coming, and after seeing all the cute AG dolls, decided that is what she is getting for Christmas. I get the catalog and I have her look at it. All she want is the bitty twins. So I don't well enough for humans, but I can whip up some doll clothes. What patteren do you use for the bitty babies? All help welcome.

Yeah that is awesome.

 

[smile5sunshine]

HI! I've been lurking on and off for a while but I think I'd really like to join in on all your fun if you'll have me.

A little background about me:

I am a SAH, homeschooling mom to 4 kiddos DD(8), DD(6), DD(3) and DS(1). My grandmother taught me the basics of sewing and crochet when I was younger, however I didn't really start sewing until after my 1st DD was born, and even then it was just a project or two. I finally really started to take up sewing when my 3rd DD was a baby. She was my 1st baby who was cloth diapered and I learned to sew many of her diapers. But as my kiddos are getting older, I would really like to learn more about garment construction so I can sew clothing for them.

Here's a picture of my partner in crime, Lil'Blue. He's a pretty basic fellow with no bells and whistles, but so far he has gotten the job done for me every time:

Thanks to this group, I found CarlaC's patterns and sewed my very first pair of Easy Fits. They turned out great. I'm making some fleece pjs for my DDs:

Unfortunately, I was also trying to wing-it on making a top using another pj top as my pattern. I've done it before (but it's been over a year) and I sewed the sleeves on BACKWARDS! AAACKKK!

This is what happens when you stay up late sewing when you are sleep deprived! I'll have to wait until tomorrow night to try to fix it. Man and I HATE seam ripping fleece.

Can't wait to see what everyone else has been working on

 

[smile5sunshine]

EEEK! Sorry those pics ^^^^ are so big! I will re-size them smaller next time.

Maybe that's the problem -- I have been wearing my glasses.

Andrea sending prayers your way. I hope you find the folder.

I packed a couple orders for the scrapbook store.

No folder -- spent all day looking for it. I was able to recall (I think) where I did all the CE and I can get all the certificates reprinted since they were all on the internet -- phew! Except I think I got one by mail and that will be lost forever, but I found 11.5 credits (need 16) so at least I don't have to spend two days doing those over again. Of course, our printer just broke so can't print them and dread going through the attic to find the crappy back up printer.

I went to your ptr to see them b/f I even looked here They turned out great!

No laughing at you as I did this yesterday when my less than a year old dryer went and cannot find any paperwork on it. Luckily Sears had it in their system and it was still covered under the mfg warranty.

Sure I don't need 4 yards? Actually, there are a couple of patterns I like better than others so I will just describe what I want and get smaller amounts of those.

I just sit on the fence with an etsy store and now I think I missed the window of opportunity to change my user name --- grrrr!!!! I think my business license name should match my store name (not that I've gotten a business license yet, but I live in VA so it's a must).

Once your dryer gets fixed your paperwork will show up

Welcome Cute jammies (even with the sleeves a wee bit askew). Stick with YCMT patterns and you will be whipping up clothes in no time.

Phalen's Mickey Decoupage Jeans are DONE!!!!​

Hey Marianne,

It's been a long time since I've posted.
I just wanted to say I love the Mickey jeans, and your Princess jeans are beautiful! Love those too.

We leave for Disney next Thursday thru November 26th, as usual I still have a bunch of things I have to finish for the trip. We will be taking our youngest granddaughter to celebrate her first birthday. I just finished my first "Grace" dress for her. I love that pattern, you can never have enough ruffles!

JO ANN FABRIC!!!
How cool is this, we will finally be getting a Joann's Fabric. I called to confirm the time it opens tomorrow, it's 9am.
