Disboutiquers Part 29 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[TinkNH]

TinkNH -- the pictures were cute and I know you had a great time by following your Facebook posts. Pictures are priceless and it will be great to have memories of her making that face and it will make you remember the story behind it.


I am almost done packing. I just need to move some things around in suitcases since I had to get my Disney Vacation backpack out of storage and now I just need to wait for the boys to get our of school and we head to my parents house for one more night of sleep and off at 8 am tomorrow to go cross country !Warm weather here I come !

the good did indeed outweigh the bad...even tho at times it did not feel that way I got enough good happy pictures of her that we can focus on those memories

Have a great time!!! Post pics so I can live vicariously!!

I lucked out and found several knits on sale at Hobby Lobby for $2-3/yd at the same time when I bought the flower. I got a pink/black stripe, and black/white stripe, the flower print you have and another pink print that has some peace signs on it. I snatched them up even though I didn't have a plan or purpose for them just cause I knew it'd be nice to have some cheap fabric to work with, and if nothing else, they would make comfy pajamas.

Thanks for sharing that pattern. I almost bought it but decided at the last minute not to. I went and looked and I have a pajama pattern that is very similar (same yoke neck and uses a gathered skirt like that one, only no tiers) and I think I can easily use that as a base for mimicking this dress. BUT I do have her site bookmarked now because she had some other really cute (free) patterns.

Praying you get the "all clear"

Sunshine

You were so lucky to find the other knits on such a good deal at Hobby Lobby. We don't have one close to us but sometimes I get some great deals on knits at Hancock. But those tend to be solid colors.

I agree with you that if you have another pattern that is similar, why spend the money on another one. I do that all the time. Last year I wanted a pattern form Olhebelle (I probably spelled that wrong, I always do!) but I realized that I had another dress with the exact same time and that I could re-create the skirt section myself. I did download one of her free patterns too. I tried to download another one but it didn't work.

I did get the all clear today. No sign of cancer! HOORAY! I made my appointment for the next one in six months. My oncologist doesn't want to see me again until after that one.

HI VB,
Yes, I did the big jump to FB. A lot has happened to our family since my posts here.

We moved.....to the Netherlands. DH wanted to see more of Europe, so he got a new job on a 2 year contract. He is very happy and I am adjusting.

Our stuff had huge problems and as of today our goods should arrive on the 3 of Oct, over 6 months later!

I bought a Singer 1934 treadle machine and also a Gritzner hand crank, both for 25 Euro. I really love the treadle and am using to do some straight stitching as that is all it can do, forward and straight.

We won't be seeing WDW for the next two years but did buy AP's to Disneyland Paris because it is just 3 hours away by high speed train. We can do weekend get aways.

I've been following all your ups and downs on FB but I do want to say that it must be a huge adjustment. I'm sure it will feel better when you get your stuff. When we had our house built, our stuff was in storage for about 6 months. It is so hard to feel unsettled for that length of time. And I had it easier because at least I was living in the same area during that time.

It is cool that you are so close to Disneyland in Paris. I hope you tell us all about it when you go!

Thanks so much for all the well wishes for my premie granddaughter. She has some breathing issues and was on a ventilator and had to have a chest tube and to be fed through her umbilical cord, but as of yesterday she is just getting oxygen through a nasal cannula. The hardest part has been my daughter had not been able to hold her but once and her hubby not at all. BUT they are supposed to be able to hold her today. Happy about that! Good to hear from some of you who have been there. Thanks for sharing!

Big hugs to the whole family -did they get to hold her today???

Love the Disney pictures!!!!

Question - would anyone be willing/able to do some flip flops for Noah's big give for his sisters Lauren and Emily and maybe even Mama (Callie?) That would be super cool!!! Thanks to ALL who are helping our fellow Big Give/Dis friend on their Wish Trip!!!

Sooo, anyone with an active doggie out there. Its dark now when we get home, so Tigger and I cant go out and play ball!!! I pay for it if that doggie doesnt get his exercise!!! lol...our neighbor girl comes over and walks him after school, but he has soooo much more energy than that!!! lol...what do you all do????

 

[miprender]

I can do the single digit dance today I only have 3 shirts left and will start posting everything soon, hopefully

officially done! still need to finish sons hamish costume...

Awesome

This morning was a little scarey here. We live right across the parking lot from a little local church. The Pastor (our neighbor Aaron) was walking across the parking lot and a man who was obviously under the influence of something jumped out at him - Im not sure if he hit him or not - I heard yelling and Tigger started barking - another man ran out of the church to help Pastor Aaron, but I didnt know what to do - I got my cell to call 911 but then the police pulled up - so sad....Yes, a church is a place that people can come to when they need help, but is there really a need to attack the pastor who could help you???? I feel like I should bake a plate of brownies or something and take them over to his family...they are doing a lot of good in our town, and I dont want this to discourage them, you know?

WOW how scary.

I hope your furbaby is better. My hubby took our dogs out to walk to my son's house right behind ours. A coyote grabbed my chunky chihuahua. DH just had knee surgery, son is disabled with back problems but the too of them and my pit mix took off after the coyote. Pit mix got her back. Fortunately just puncture wounds and general bruising. 3 yrs ago coyote got son's puppy, broke neck in two spots but she is just a bundle of joy today. We have been blessed twice now.

Wow... that is scary. I always worry about our dog. He is so little, but is the fastest dog in the world so hopefully he could outrun them.

Finally joining back in. Its been a crazy couple months since our trip. Allison has been quite sick and in and out of the hospital. Been able to do some sewing and its been great to get a few things done. We started homebound school again and its been a trying time. Hope to be able to catch up on everything on here soon! So far what i have seen looks great!

Glad to see you posting again

I guess I didn't over think it on the flowers, I made these Tigger shirts for my boys and they have flowers. I don't think (hopefully.) they will be too damaged by them. I sort of like the hippie vibe they have. And the fabric was SUPER cheap at Hancock when I got it, like $3 a yard.


Also, my mom lives in Colorado and had a hawk take her dog once. I never actually met the dog since this happened when I was away at college and she had the poor thing only a couple weeks. It was some sort of tiny terrier pocket-sized dog, I don't remember exactly what type, but it was a terrible experience for her. She currently has a 4 lb shih-tzu who she keeps on a short leash outside because of the previous experience, even though the dog would stay right by her without. I have always had big dogs so we have had the opposite problem, big dogs catching the little creatures.

I have two boys who would wear those cute shirts.

And OMG on the hawk taking the puppy. How awful.

Hi Andrea- thanks for answering my question about the knit!!

Yes, today was Happy Barium Swallow Study Day!!! EWWWWWW that barium was awful!!! They made me drink it, but never made me eat anything with it which is my problem sometimes. Grrrrr - oh well....It came back looking good - next up is a Gallbladder function test to see if thats functioning properly. I have Reflux that isnt responding to the one medicine they have tried so far...lol....oh well - Just keep swimming!!! I am finding out how healthy I am!!! and have lost a ton of weight since the middle of August - lol....looking at the positive side, right

Meanwhile, I want to go to DISNEY WORLD sooooo bad!! I thought I had Bill talked all into it, but then he pulls the "I have a rather new job and used my vacation for Camp Promise".....grrrrrrrrr.....still trying to pursuade him into a few days!!!

Sorry you weren't able to get some answers. It is so frustrating when the Dr.s can't figure out what is going on.

We are back home...and I am having serious withdrawal

Sadly Maddie had a really really rough week and refused to wear several of the outfits I had made her, and the ones she did wear she fussed and cried except when we were on a ride or actively doing something. I did get a few pictures of some of the outfits tho....and I plan to not think about the yucky moments and just focus on the good stuff.

MNSSHP it started to rain shortly after this so I did not get many pictures

Love all the pictures. So it rained on MNSSHP That is my fear as I keep looking at the extended forecast. Did it affect the party alot? What about the Headless Horesman.... that is one of my main reasons for going.

The care of premies has come so far. When my daughter was born in 1967, she came 12 weeks early. She weighed 2 lbs 6 oz and was 14 inches long. I was "allowed" to look at her (while she was in her isolett) through a glass for 15 minutes 2 times a week. I wasn't allowed to hold her or even touch her until the day she came home (when she was 2 months 1 day old--which was at least a month sooner than they had predicted.) I had to call at exactly 9:10 each morning if I wanted an update on her. What helped me keep my sanity was a friend who was doing her pediatric residency at the same hospital (which was considered state of the art at the time) who called me and told me little snippets of information about her.

How scary. My DD was a premie too. But luckily they have come so far that we were able to hold her several times a day. She wasn't quite as small as yours as she was 4lbs 1oz and only 5 weeks early and only needed to stay for 10 days. But to look at her now you would never believe she was that small. She is so tall for her age

I've been off for a few days so there's too much to quote but all the talk about hawks & dogs & coyotes sure is scary!
TinkNH your pics are really cute and I'm glad you got good pictures despite your youngest DD not wanting to dress up! All your customs are really nice and I also like the one shouldered top.

I did get the all clear today. No sign of cancer! HOORAY! I made my appointment for the next one in six months. My oncologist doesn't want to see me again until after that one.

I have probably made about 25 things with my 770 in the last 3 weeks. I love it! I've had some frustrating moments trying to get the hoop to click back on sometimes but for the most part it's been awesome. I've mostly been making Halloween shirts for all the nieces and nephews but here's something technically Disney I made!

DD loves Totoro now and this design was free! Here's the link if anyone's interested: http://cyatutorials.blogspot.com/2010/01/free-machine-embroidery-pattern-totoro.html

I am finding really cool embroidery designs at urbanthreads.com and I wanted to recommend them for teens or adults--lots of cool things that are not your "typical" embroidery designs!

Well...they cancelled the first parade, and the Villains dance thing. They did get Hallowishes done and the 2nd parade shortly after, but no headless horseman. I was disappointed because my main goal was meeting characters, but the kids had fun getting candy...and the fireworks were by far the best I have EVER seen.

Omg I love totoro! Thanks for sharing and that bag is so awesome. I bought a grey hoodie for myself at target on clearance thinking it'd be fun to appliqué and I think I've found my "what"!
I'll have to check out the urban threads site too. Thanks!

Wendy my little doggy's favorite game is fetch. To really wear her out, I throw the ball from the top of the deck steps and she brings it back up the steps to me. About 10 times up and down those steps and she is pretty worn out. When she was a puppy she could do more but she is 3 years old now. We also play fetch inside the house. I have a long stretch from my kitchen through my family room and she will chase her ball for me for a long time. Also, try getting her a kong or something with a treat inside of it. Sometimes that mental stimulation is enough to keep them busy for a good long while. You could have the little neighbor girl give it to him so that it doesn't drive him crazy all day long.

I can do the single digit dance today I only have 3 shirts left and will start posting everything soon, hopefully

How exciting that you are down to the single digits! Have you started packing yet? Your dd was born about as early as mine and stayed in the hospital for the same amount of time. Sara was 5 weeks early. Sara was bigger though. She was 5 lbs 10 oz. She was born with Group B strep and had to be on IV antibiotics for her first 10 days.

We want to see some of your other stuff too, even if it isn't Disney! I am pretty sure that Andrea had some problems with her hoop clicking back into place and she found a way to fix it.

I have looked at Urbanthreads.com before but I haven't been there in a while. Maybe I will check it out again. Of course since I got such a lukewarm reception for the last things I made my girls, I'm not in a hurry to spend much money on designs to make them stuff. LOL!

I forgot to add that with my pe770 I just go back one step and that resets the hoop. I don't remember who but someone on this thread suggested that. Essentially if I have to take it off to trim I reset one step back and then one step forward and effectively end up in the same spot but the hoop ALWAYS clicks in no problem at the "default" position.

Thank you for sharing the pictures. Looks like your family had a great time overall, even though some parts didn't go quite as planned. I really like your family picture with Mickey and Minnie!

I am so sorry that you had to go through that nightmare. I am glad that we understand so much more about caring for premature babies.

HI VB,

I hope your stuff will arrive soon. How frustrating to not have your stuff for so long! I hope you will enjoy living in the Netherlands.

Thanks for the prayers! My daughter did hold little Caroline today and she (the baby) is no longer using anything to help her breath. She has come such a long way in just 24 hours!

Glad to hear that your granddaugther is making great strides!

My mom lives in Colorado Springs in the rockrimmon area (she was evacuated from her house this summer the fire was very close but thankfully didn't reach her place.) they are close enough in the foothills they get lots of creatures. Lots of deer, occasional bears, fox, etc. I remember growing up there it seemed that about once a year someone's dog got taken by a mountain lion. Trade off for living in an amazingly beautiful place.

I know that area. That fire was pretty scary, I was driving home from Texas the day the fire blew up. We didn't know anything about the fire until we smelled the smoke. The smoke was so horrible for miles around the area, so sad, glad they made it through ok. We don't get as many critters in the city but there was a mountain lion sighting earlier this summer across the street and a few deer in the area, and of course the fox who lives behind me.

What helped me keep my sanity was a friend who was doing her pediatric residency at the same hospital (which was considered state of the art at the time) who called me and told me little snippets of information about her.

Wow, I couldn't imagine not being able to see my baby and only getting one update a day.

Thanks so much for all the well wishes for my premie granddaughter. She has some breathing issues and was on a ventilator and had to have a chest tube and to be fed through her umbilical cord, but as of yesterday she is just getting oxygen through a nasal cannula.

Wow, what an adventure you are on. Hope you get your stuff soon. My parents live in Africa most of the year and my mom bought a treadle machine there. She doesn't do too much sewing but with the frequent power outages they have she enjoys being able to to do something when the power is out.

I did get the all clear today. No sign of cancer! HOORAY! I made my appointment for the next one in six months. My oncologist doesn't want to see me again until after that one.

What is the retro Epcot Logo?

Thanks for understanding about how difficult it was to leave Bonnie and not get to see her when I wanted. "Back then" they didn't make premie clothes. I helped to pass the time by making her outfits out of very soft knit and batiste. I used an 18 inch doll pattern. I also took regular gauze diapers, cut them in half and folded them in half again. I seamed up the sides, turned them so the seam was inside and stitched the ends closed. I made 4 dozen diapers out of 2 dozen. The hardest part was the "rubber pants" to go over her diapers. I used the doll pattern and lined the pants with thick white flannel and used the fabric to match her dress on the outside. I was so excited when she could finally wear "regular" baby clothes!! She used the clothes for her doll when she got older, so I don't have any of them. What was I thinking!!!

Tons of great designs on there! Much cooler than, say, the teddy bear sitting on a stump playing an accordian that came preloaded with my machine! Although I have threatened to put that on a polo for DH!

What is the retro Epcot Logo?

Jennifer

It's Heather's design: http://froufroubyheathersue.com/#ecwid:category=1488233&mode=product&product=8777603

I love it on my coat because it's very Disney (and geeky!) but noooobody knows what it is unless they too love Disney.

My goodness! Totoro! That brings back lots of sweet memories for me. It was one of my favourite movies when I was younger. DH earned lots of gold stars when he got me that DVD for Christmas one year.

Aww, that's so sweet! I wish I had grown up with Studio Ghibli movies but I discovered them as a teenager. My DD loves Arrietty & Kiki's Delivery Service too. I always have to save a big portion of my souvenir budget for the big store in Japan at Epcot to spend on all that great Ghibli stuff!

I too wonder about these preloaded designs... I like their photo gallery also.

And I remember that Epcot design (now that you refreshed my memory) I am going to run up to Old Navy and get some light weight jackets for my moms and my trip!

As good of a close up as I could get of the pattern at the moment.

Rick-rack - I'm assuming it needs to be hand sewn on?

My goal is to try to get my daughters to have a fashion show tonight and try on dresses and let me take pictures. If not tonight this weekend for sure. I have finished 14 of 20 planned outfits (10 for each of 2 girls). 15 and 16 are cut out. 17 and 18 I am waiting on some additional materials to be delivered and 19 and 20 I have material picked out (and it is laundered and ironed) I just haven't decided on a pattern. T-minus 49 days to go. I can do this.

In addition I have made one dress for my 10 month old neice and have some tee-shirts I need to finish for my 4 year old nephew, 10 month old neice and 10 and 13 year old neices. Those shouldn't take too long though because they are just iron ons.
