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

[billwendy]

Hi Everyone!!
Is anyone working on their Thanksgiving prep work yet? I baked some brownies to convert into brownie balls for Thanksgiving. Has anyone ever made them and then melted icing to dip them in? Im not totally fond of dipping them in the chocolate and then them having a shell - any ideas?

Also - is anyone willing to make a wheelchair bag for Lindsay? She could really use one. She could also use some fun wheelchair cusion covers (like a 16 x16 pillowcase) for her trip!! Lots of fun things still availabe to make for this wonderful teen!!!

Blazer's boxers ,he's hot natured and doesn't wear flannel pants in winter!he'like his Nanna!

Elli's gown,she on the other hand burrows under the covers in winter...she takes after her Pawpaw!

the pattern called for facing w/interfacing but i did that on th eothers { santa gowns coming up } and broke 2 neeldes through the thinkness of the doubled flannel + interfacing...so i just used binding on thi sone and it was so much easier...
here are Gracie,Kensleigh & Chloes gowns...Chloe has some adfabric in the front,i'd cut down a bigger pattern and didn't really know what i was doing,hehe...so the neck was too wide so i put darts on the back and added striped fabric piece with elastic to gather it over her chest...

my next project will be to case a dress i saw on a zulily ad...not sure if i can share it here,it's really pretty cream/red/green with a big flower on the waist,sorta of looks like a peasent pattern so thats what i will use...i have several pieces of brocade { tone on tone print in florals and suc?} i have 3 creams/4 reds/3 greens & 2 silvers...and you know me it is all { except for a remnant of green from joann} came from the thrift store..all beautiful table clothes......the zulily dress ad says something 'frocks' on it,in case you see the ad...
thank you for looking...Brendi goes for another ultrasound tomorrow,hope to have a picture of the Poppy Seed...i think it should be Poppy if it's a girl...it's kinda sticking...!

Sorry for the driveby- I'm almost never near an actual computer, so multiquotes are a thing of the past... Dorrine- I think you should go ahead, I agree with the others- we know you did your own, and I'm willing to bet you did things differently; Goodness knows there are lots of pj pants patterns, but none quite like carla C's KWIM?

Nini- go to the doctor, if nothing else you can get the confirmation that its nothing.

OK, here's a quick day by day run through of the outfits for the trip as I was packing them. The bow ties are for Duffy, sorry but he was being unbearable and wouldn't pose for me...

Day 1

These are the capris I mentioned on facebook; I used the soft and flexible velcro with the loop?(soft) side on the inside of the jeans and the hook?(rough) side on the right side of the ruffle facing out so that they met. I covered the stitch lines from sewing the jean side of the velcro with trim. I did a set of capris and long jeans so we can see how the weather goes, and there are 4 interchangeable ruffles to match outfits. My mom and I are wearing Autism minnie shirts

Day 2 daytime (DHS)

Day 2 nighttime (DHS/Osborne Lights)

Day 3 MK (starting w/ breakfast at CP)

Day 4 Epcot/Surprise- lets just call it Princesspallooza

Good luck with your brownies! It's chocolate, so how can you go wrong?

I would love to try my hand at cushion covers for Lindsay, but I have never made them. Anybody have an easy to follow pattern? I will also post this over on the BG board. Thanks!

 

[ireland_nicole]

Sorry- I love Finn and dads Epcot shirts!

 

[teresajoy]

thanks! I'm up to TWO bids -- I'm so happy. I just didn't want to disappoint Teresa and Heather -- I want them to make some money and was so scared I'd fail. It's hard making something in some random size, but I didn't want the pressure of someone ordering a size and then having my machine break!.

We were just so thankful that you donated the outfit Andrea!!! (bidding is still open if anyone is interested). I think it's doing very well!

Nini, did you go to the doctor yet? I agree with Sally, don't put this off.

 

[NiniMorris]

To every one asking, I called the doctor...they do not think it is serious and I could not get an appointment until the middle of December

 

[miprender]

Yes, thanks to one of our Disboutiquer friends, NaeNae. She helped me find the exact fabric I was looking for. A very nice manager at her store gave her a list of about 20 stores that still had the fabric in stock. So that night I got on the phone and started calling all the stores. I managed to get just enough fabric by ordering from several stores. A nice bonus was that the fabric ended up being on clearance for $1 per yard. I spent almost as much on the shipping as on the fabric but I was so happy to find it. The table clothes are all finished and put away for the big event. My husband spent all summer laughing at me because I also made all the centerpieces while the kids were at summer camp. He thinks that I am very funny because I have the table clothes, centerpieces, tallitot (plural of tallit) and kippahs finished but it is still 18 months until their bat mitzvah. I have always been a planner and I LOVE doing this kind of stuff!

That is a great deal.

Blazer's boxers ,he's hot natured and doesn't wear flannel pants in winter!he'like his Nanna!

I need to finish my Christmas PJs soon.

We will just miss eachother, we are going 6/14-6/21.

If DH has no snow days we might go down a few days earlier. When I originally booked the trip this summer I went out 7 snowdays from the last day of school then Irene hit and before school started he had 5 days to make up. So I am praying for a very mild winter

Day 1

I will try to get some good "action shots" during the trip, I promise...

WOW Nicole everything is just amazing. Please post action shots. I love seeing live shots

I'm glad you took the step. Now your mind will be at ease until you get there. It's better to be safe then sorry.

[cogero]

So many great things posted. I love it all. I am off and running today.

 

[Meshell2002]

Nicole-- it all looks great....looks like you are ready to go!

Off to shower, straighten the house (its technically DH friday...so I know I won't "work" while he's here this weekend), order photo calenders & greeting cards, and start smocking DD Christmas dress. DS shirt is finished I just have to sew on the buttons.

As far as Thanksgiving prep....We are doing potluck with about 50 other people (extended family), my assignment was deviled eggs and relish tray...I'm going to put carrot sticks and cheese cubes in the relish tray for the kids....so the main thing I have to "make" is deviled eggs.

 

[VBAndrea]

Hi Everyone!!!

Okay - here is our girl Lindsay - Im posting her now, so you can be thinking over the weekend and during any Black Friday shopping. There are alot of special and fun things to do for her since she is a teen. She LOVES pj pants and tshirts! Loves photography, scrapbooking and baking! She is a preppy girl, and loves the traditional Mickey and Pooh charaters as well as some Lilo and Stitch, Harry Potter and Tink and the Fairies!!!!

Also, if you could please go to their PTR and just say Hi to them and help them get excited about their trip. Mom had kind of let it go since no one was really following it!
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2725867

She looks just like a typical teenage girl - yet she is in so much pain and this disease is just dabilitating her! We have the power to cheer her up!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for helping her, even at this busy time of year!! Even if you dont want to sew, how about sending her some scrapbooking supplies or hair bows or a fleece blanket? Please consider helping Lindsay - and if you have any teens at home, maybe they could help you pick some things out!!!!

Wendy -- I don't think it's mentioned on the BG post but they will be going to all four parks and are interested in Universal and Harry Potter as well -- just thought that might help people pitch in with t's and such. I asked mom on the ptr -- also, I know it's a busy time of year, but there are not a lot of posts on the ptr so I second Wendy's request to pop by and say hi. They seem like a wonderful family.

I knocked a couple more things off my "to do" list tonight!

I finished all four of our Epcot Mickey shirts and both of the boys Comic Strip Mickey Easy Fits! I also cut out parts of one of my last appliques and worked on my Figment skirt.

Finn & DH modeled their shirts for me

Excuse DH - he did NOT want his picture taken and it's Monday so he's scruffy

Here's a pic of Finn's easy fits too:

Too much on my mind to remember if I posted on your ptr report or not -- but everything is great -- love the easy fits!

All look great! Eeeks -- I haven't done a thing for Xmas yet!

I love everything! I think that the interchangeable ruffles for the jeans are just genius! What a clever idea! I think I like the princess outfit the best but everything is wonderful.

My older DD saw the pictures and wants me to find out where you got the Hermione applique and the HP sayings. She's going to IOA during winter break and wants me to make her a t-shirt with one of the HP sayings on it. I've had a hard time finding anything.

Aww thanks! The hermione I got from rubberduckyranch and the spells I did myself- I bet one of the great digitizers could do what you wanted though
