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

[miprender]

I feel like such a slacker. I haven't made anything since we got back from our trip and I really need to make some Christmas PJs soon

It has been a LONG time since I have been able to be active on this board, but if any of you remember, a couple years ago, I asked several members of this board to send my Dad cards as he liked walking to the mailbox with my boys. He was told he was going to die soon from cancer. Well, my precious Daddy loved every single card, postcard, and letter he got from you. He has beaten the odds and survived this long.

Unfortunately, we had to admit him to an inpatient hospice facility this weekend. He has since developed pneumonia and had a stroke. They told us Sunday he wouldn't make it through the day, but he did. He is still hanging on, but I don't see how he will make it much longer.

I just wanted to thank each of you who sent him something. You have no idea how excited he was when he and the boys would return from the mailbox with something addressed to him. Thank you!

Thanks for posting. This might have been before I was posting on here but glad you came back to pop in and say "HI"

I haven't been very busy sewing lately but that is about to change as I have several birthday and Christmas presents I need to make in the next month. This weekend is our awards banquet which wraps up our race season for this year so I should have a lot more time on my hands once this is over. I did get a chance to do some items the past few months though but just haven't remembered to post them.

A polo shirt for a friend who takes pictures at the races and the third logo I have digitized.

Great job on everything.

Here is the dress that I finished yesterday. I made it with some of the material in my stash. The only thing I had to buy was the buttons and I found buttons that were just perfect for this dress.

And here is the matching brother shirt:

I wish I had done the hull of the boat in dark blue instead of black. But overall I'm pretty happy with it.

So cute and I think the boat looks perfect with the black

My latest project has been jammies. I made DS a pair of the easy pants off of you can make this. com, and he loves them. I love that pattern, super quick and easy. Here are the jammie bottoms I made for him. On a side note, please excuse the carpet, for some reason in the pictures, it looks disgustingly gross and dirty, in reality they are not like that, I hope

Here are the pants, kinda hard to see, but have dogs all over them:

So of course, I thought he needed a matching shirt, so I took one of his older shirts apart, made it bigger, and used it as a loose guidline and make a jammie top. I was too lazy to drive 30 miles to the nearest fabric store, so I used flannes sheet for the main fabric, and scraps for the accent fabric to match the jammies. Here is what it came out like:

He decided he didn't like it because the neckhole was too big, and he prefers to wear normal everyday tshirts anyway, so I decided instead of throwing it away, I would keep it and make it mine. Of course I couldn't just have a jammie top, so I got out the sheet and what was left of the dog material scrap and made myself shorts. I think the jammie outfit turned out pretty cute, and comfy too!

Now it is time to clear off the kitchen table of sewing stuff and get in the cooking mode. I hope everyone has a terrific thanksgiving.

And for the good news I got a conditional job offer yesterday!!! This is the job I thought I had a good chance at getting two months ago. It has been such a long process. I originally applied in May, took a test, then a psych test, interview, lie dtector test, and background check. With the conditional hire I have to take a medical test and a second phase psych test but the lady said when you've made it this far 99% of the time you get hired. I was able to schedule the medical for yesterday but can't get in for the psych until Dec 7 so I still have a few weeks to go. I am so thankful and what a great week for this to happen, the week of Thanksgiving! I have been out of a job since the end of March so I am so excited to fianlly get a real paycheck.

That is great news.

So I am several pages behind yet again, though I plan to catch up tonight. Here are a few recent things I don't think I've posted. I am sorry for the large photos, I didn't resize as I was trying to hurry (both kids are in the showers as I type)

Halloween stripwork dress

shirt and fur trim pants (this fits a regular AG better but DD wanted Bitty to wear it lol)

Christmas stripwork

and Belle Simply Sweet I made for a birthday gift

I have a good chunk of our Christmas items made and will try and post this weekend. I have a Thanksgiving shirt for DS stitched out and just need to do DD's tonight. Phew.

Those are so cute. I need to make so outfits for DD's dolls and my boys want some outfits for their Duffy dolls

 

[4HppyCamprs]

I love seeing new pics posted. Great work everybody and again so inspirational! I am finishing up a fleece jumper and pants set for DD. It was not quite the easy sew it was supposed to be....My MIL volunteered to take the stitches out since I was of the opinion of just scraping them. I created a new hem but found out I cut them slightly too short so a ruffle bottom was born. It is not 100% perfect but I think pretty darn good for winging it and using my newly found gathering skills..(tiny tiny bit of skills)

Thank you for posting an update. Your story confirms why I enjoy hanging out on here - everyone here is so wonderful and giving. It is wonderful that your dad have beaten the odds thus far and your family were able to spend lots of precious time together.

WTMTQ! All I can say it that everyone has been very busy creating many beautiful items. The Halloween costumes are terrific! I can't believe the amount of work that must have went into some of them. The dresses, skirts and shirts that have been posted are fabulous too! I love seeing all the items created for trips and it makes me wish we had a trip planned. DH said our next big trip will be another cruise in 2014. Although he did mention yesterday that maybe it will be a Disney cruise so .

I haven't been very busy sewing lately but that is about to change as I have several birthday and Christmas presents I need to make in the next month. This weekend is our awards banquet which wraps up our race season for this year so I should have a lot more time on my hands once this is over. I did get a chance to do some items the past few months though but just haven't remembered to post them.

A polo shirt for a friend who takes pictures at the races and the third logo I have digitized.

I am going to go back and rework digitizing the photo logo as I was not overly happy with it and neither was my machine. I think I have to strip out a few of the smaller details in it that tend to get lost in the overall design. He absolutely loves the shirt and doesn't have a problem with it, but I know it has issues and I can clean it up a bit more.

Shirts I made for DS's skateboard summer camp counsellors. Of course I also made one for DS too but forgot to take a picture of it!

They absolutely loved them and wore them on the final day of camp. They were asked by other parents where they got them because they wanted them for their kids too. Hmmmm, might have to think about that one next summer!

A princess purse for a Big Give.

This was a fun little project to work on. That fuzzy material certainly was slippery! But I had fun making something girly for a change.

Great job on everything. The princess purse looked like it could be a nightmare to put together. I am sure the family really appreciated your special gift!

Here is the dress that I finished yesterday. I made it with some of the material in my stash. The only thing I had to buy was the buttons and I found buttons that were just perfect for this dress.

And here is the matching brother shirt:

The dress looks fantastic. The buttons really work well for the outfit!

Thank you for sharing your sewing story. It funny how we set out to do one thing and how it takes us down a different path sometimes. The pj's look so comfy too!

I have not done a whole lot of sewing lately. I have made fleece socks/slippers and fleece hats for the winter. Of course it has been unusually warm around here and only two quick snow storms that didn't hang around but I know the cold is coming so we will be ready. I'm not doing a whole lot for Christmas presants but Flora made a casserole dish holder awhile back so I think I will do that and make one for all the lades, 2 sisters in law and one of them her mom is coming so I will make one for her and one for my mom.

And for the good news I got a conditional job offer yesterday!!! This is the job I thought I had a good chance at getting two months ago. It has been such a long process. I originally applied in May, took a test, then a psych test, interview, lie dtector test, and background check.

I am so thankful and what a great week for this to happen, the week of Thanksgiving! I have been out of a job since the end of March so I am so excited to fianlly get a real paycheck.

The casserole carriers were very easy to put together and I imagine you can get them done very quickly. I am sure the recipients will like them very much!

Congrats on a conditional job offer! I hope everything will go smoothly for you.

The outfit looks great. I wouldn't have known that the ruffles were not planned if you didn't mention it.

Thanks everyone for the thoughts about silly ol me and my stinkin gallbladder!!! I am constantly nauseaus now and the Dr phoned me in an anti nausea medication today so I'll start taking it tomorrow. The Pre admissions nurse had my interview with me today, and she was super concerned about my nutritional status ( which is TERRIBLE right now) and is worried that I will be dehydrated as I cant drink too much of anything let alone eat anything. So hopefully the new medication will help ASAP!!

But especially I am thankful that you guys are thinking of Steve and Sue and the kids. This weekend I cranked out a bunch of shirts. Im not sure Sue is ready for hers yet, this kinda puts things in reality, but, the rest of the family was ready to show their love and support. Heather helped me with the design and I love how it turned out!!!!!

Wendy I love the shirts they are fabulous.

Your surgery will go fine. I have you in my prayers. I had my gallbladder out at 26 and it was the best decision I ever made.

 

[VBAndrea]

I wonder if they make 2 gallon non-brand bags like that ? I buy my bags at the dollar store or wherever for someplace cheap. I have a few Ziploc that I started using before I thought of that but since they can be re-used over and over, I'm still using them.

I have so much to sew this week and can't wait. Gonna be heading to Joann's soon to get myself a bag for my machine to make it easier to take with me.

I have only seen the bags in Ziploc brand and they are about $1 per bag, but they hold up well. They come in a box of four.

Thanks area, that's exactly what I was thinking might be best to mail the bodice top to someone to embroider for me. If anyone is interested let me know!

Thanks for your comments I really am trying. I don't understand tho sometimes I do everything right and I have PLENTY to loose yet it doesn't come off. week 1 went well but last week I sucked. .4 oz gone and that's it. It was so busy and i crave popcorn with butter which is a bad thing. and hardly drank any water because I was working so much. I need to get my wii hooked up again. I haven't been working out tho, which I know will help I just haven't gotten onto the treadmill yet.
Thanks andrea!

You may want to contact Tricia since she's in Canada and that would making shipping easier for you.

I find dieting alone doesn't do crap for me. I have to work out in order to lose. And the older I get the harder it is to lose the weight. I love Kettle Corn but it's not that bad -- I can eat it and still lose weight as long as I am working out.

I finally finished the dress that I've been working on. I altered the pattern to make it with long sleeves. I am not sure how exact the sleeve length is because I haven't seen my niece yet and went with measurement that my SIL sent to me. I made one dress with two pinafores so that the dress could be worn all winter long, not just for the holidays.

Here is a Chanukah dress:

And with a quick change of pinafores, it is a Goofy dress:

OMG! What a fabulous idea to have different pinafores for the dress since the Chanukah one will only be worn for a short season. I love the colors in both dresses too.

The weather has been perfect so far. Shorts and tee-shirts during the day. Add a light jacket when the sun goes down and you are good to go.

Here is today at Hollywood Studios

We are having lots of fun and have gotten lots of comments and compliements.

So adorable -- I remember the skirts but I don't remember those shirts (old age you know). I love them!

To those of you that have PE770's what is your recommendation for thread brand and prewound bobbin brands?

I use Marathon thread. I know they have prewound bobbins but I wind my own with Brother bobbin thread that I get at my local store. Floriani is great too but is twice the price (if not more) than the Marathon.

Hi Everyone! Love all your sewing awesomeness!

I was wondering how everyone liked the new Princess Sophia?

We were going to take a little trip to Disney next week, but had to cancel it. I am so bummed, but with all that going on with Steve we knew we just wouldnt enjoy ourselves and would be wondering whats happening at home all the time wishing we could help. We also got good news that Steve's oldest son Andrew and his wife will come home for their school break in January! That made Steve and Sue so happy - its hard for Andrew and Jess to be so far away when all of this "stuff" is happening. Tomorrow Steve will have an endoscopic ultrasound that will tell us the stage of the tumor, and help them decide the course of his treatments. Still praising God that the cancer has not spread to other parts of his body.

Also next Friday, I have to have my gallbladder out! I am super scared!!!

If anyone would like to make tie dye shirts for Shawn Brooklyn, please come on over and sign up - mom really loved them seeing them in the photobucket acct and on other kids Big Gives!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Wendy, I hope everything goes super well with the surgery and really hope this is the answer to your health problems. Prayers to you and your family.

It has been a LONG time since I have been able to be active on this board, but if any of you remember, a couple years ago, I asked several members of this board to send my Dad cards as he liked walking to the mailbox with my boys. He was told he was going to die soon from cancer. Well, my precious Daddy loved every single card, postcard, and letter he got from you. He has beaten the odds and survived this long.

Unfortunately, we had to admit him to an inpatient hospice facility this weekend. He has since developed pneumonia and had a stroke. They told us Sunday he wouldn't make it through the day, but he did. He is still hanging on, but I don't see how he will make it much longer.

I just wanted to thank each of you who sent him something. You have no idea how excited he was when he and the boys would return from the mailbox with something addressed to him. Thank you!

Dawn

Prayers for you and your family at this very rough time. We lost my Father to cancer, and it's such a terrible disease to see someone die from. It's almost a blessing to know their pain is finally gone when they pass.

I haven't been very busy sewing lately but that is about to change as I have several birthday and Christmas presents I need to make in the next month. This weekend is our awards banquet which wraps up our race season for this year so I should have a lot more time on my hands once this is over. I did get a chance to do some items the past few months though but just haven't remembered to post them.

A polo shirt for a friend who takes pictures at the races and the third logo I have digitized.

I am going to go back and rework digitizing the photo logo as I was not overly happy with it and neither was my machine. I think I have to strip out a few of the smaller details in it that tend to get lost in the overall design. He absolutely loves the shirt and doesn't have a problem with it, but I know it has issues and I can clean it up a bit more.

Great work! The skateboard shirts are awesome and adore the fabric you used for the purse.

Here is the dress that I finished yesterday. I made it with some of the material in my stash. The only thing I had to buy was the buttons and I found buttons that were just perfect for this dress.

And here is the matching brother shirt:

I wish I had done the hull of the boat in dark blue instead of black. But overall I'm pretty happy with it.

Super cute Diane and fab job using stash materials I love the matching shirt for brother too!

Ok, how many times can I post something and do it wrong, definately not feeling very talented today! Seeing as I have already posted this twice with quotes and comments, then managed to mess it up twice, I think I will try to do it without the quotes, and see if I can get it to post correctly. Sooo....here it goes




My latest project has been jammies. I made DS a pair of the easy pants off of you can make this. com, and he loves them. I love that pattern, super quick and easy. Here are the jammie bottoms I made for him. On a side note, please excuse the carpet, for some reason in the pictures, it looks disgustingly gross and dirty, in reality they are not like that, I hope

Here are the pants, kinda hard to see, but have dogs all over them:

So of course, I thought he needed a matching shirt, so I took one of his older shirts apart, made it bigger, and used it as a loose guidline and make a jammie top. I was too lazy to drive 30 miles to the nearest fabric store, so I used flannes sheet for the main fabric, and scraps for the accent fabric to match the jammies. Here is what it came out like:

He decided he didn't like it because the neckhole was too big, and he prefers to wear normal everyday tshirts anyway, so I decided instead of throwing it away, I would keep it and make it mine. Of course I couldn't just have a jammie top, so I got out the sheet and what was left of the dog material scrap and made myself shorts. I think the jammie outfit turned out pretty cute, and comfy too!

Now it is time to clear off the kitchen table of sewing stuff and get in the cooking mode. I hope everyone has a terrific thanksgiving.

Marci

Adorable! I can't believe you are able to fit into a shirt you made for your ds. I'm on the smaller side and don't think even I could pull that one off -- though sometimes when I iron I have to do a double take on whose pants I'm ironing -- are they ds's jeans or my capris? And once I put on a pair of his shorts and couldn't figure out why my shorts so were so dang tight.

I am so far behind but everything posted lately is fabulous!!! Andrea, glad you are finally feeling better. Wenday, prayers for both you and Steve and the entire family. Dawn, glad you had additional time with your dad. Prayers to you as well and your family this week.

I have not done a whole lot of sewing lately. I have made fleece socks/slippers and fleece hats for the winter. Of course it has been unusually warm around here and only two quick snow storms that didn't hang around but I know the cold is coming so we will be ready.

Heather helped me with the design and I love how it turned out!!!!!

The shirts are super! Did they give you phenergan? It makes you very sleepy. They can also hydrate you with IV fluids prior to you surgery. I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving despite all that is going on and really hope the meds help. I hope you get to eat a little early in the day prior to your surgery.

 

[love to stitch]

I think that everything you made turned out great! How wonderful that you have been able to start digitizing some logos for people. I am sure that the camp counselors loved the shirts. I will have to think about doing that for my girls' camp counselors next summer. I always make my girls camp shorts with the name of the camp embroidered across the tushie and they always get tons of questions about where they got the shorts. The princess bag is awesome! I am sure that material was very hard to work with.


Here is the dress that I finished yesterday. I made it with some of the material in my stash. The only thing I had to buy was the buttons and I found buttons that were just perfect for this dress.

Sooo....here it goes

Sorry no quotes, but I am loving all the creativity. The outfits that are being worn in disney are adorable, I love seeing them in "action".

The baby carrier was really cute and looked very well made.

I love the little sailer dress and matching t-shirt, great find on the buttons!

And the little dress with two pinafores, what a great idea, it completely changes the look of the dress.

I know there have been many more, and I have enjoyed seeing all of them, sorry if I have missed giving you credit. Just know that everyone on here has been such an inspiration, and I have enjoyed all comments, hints, tips, pictures.

These are great creativity starters and encouragement. I had a request from a niece to make her AG doll I gave her last Christmas more clothes. If my attempts look half as good, I'll be happy.

He decided he didn't like it because the neckhole was too big, and he prefers to wear normal everyday tshirts anyway, so I decided instead of throwing it away, I would keep it and make it mine. Of course I couldn't just have a jammie top, so I got out the sheet and what was left of the dog material scrap and made myself shorts. I think the jammie outfit turned out pretty cute, and comfy too!

Wow that you can fit into a DS PJ shirt. And they look great - love the shorts! (once I found them in the picture...)

I don't know if anyone else mentioned it (I just skimmed) but lynniepinnie is having a big sale. $1 designs and codes for 25% off $10 or 50% off $20 I think. I picked up the new cuties of Alice and queen of hearts as well as Prince Charming, Milan and a couple of Misc Christmas ones. Glad to be an enabler for once rather than the enabled.

I bought the same ones!

It has been a LONG time since I have been able to be active on this board, but if any of you remember, a couple years ago, I asked several members of this board to send my Dad cards as he liked walking to the mailbox with my boys. He was told he was going to die soon from cancer. Well, my precious Daddy loved every single card, postcard, and letter he got from you. He has beaten the odds and survived this long.

Unfortunately, we had to admit him to an inpatient hospice facility this weekend. He has since developed pneumonia and had a stroke. They told us Sunday he wouldn't make it through the day, but he did. He is still hanging on, but I don't see how he will make it much longer.

I just wanted to thank each of you who sent him something. You have no idea how excited he was when he and the boys would return from the mailbox with something addressed to him. Thank you!

Dawn

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks everyone for the thoughts about silly ol me and my stinkin gallbladder!!! I am constantly nauseaus now and the Dr phoned me in an anti nausea medication today so I'll start taking it tomorrow. The Pre admissions nurse had my interview with me today, and she was super concerned about my nutritional status ( which is TERRIBLE right now) and is worried that I will be dehydrated as I cant drink too much of anything let alone eat anything. So hopefully the new medication will help ASAP!!

But especially I am thankful that you guys are thinking of Steve and Sue and the kids. This weekend I cranked out a bunch of shirts. Im not sure Sue is ready for hers yet, this kinda puts things in reality, but, the rest of the family was ready to show their love and support. Heather helped me with the design and I love how it turned out!!!!!

fabulous!

Wendy...we will keep you in our prayers for the gallbladder surgery! I had mine out years ago. It was the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. They were able to do it laproscopicaly so it was considered outpatient surgery. Do you know if it is stones that or the problem or if they think it is just not functioning properly? I went home that same Wednesday night. I was a little tender Thanksgiving day. But, I was out at the mall with all the crazy people on Black Friday! So hang in there! Pm me if you have any questions...I will be a the store a little tonight and then have to go collect the boy from school for the holiday...but will check back in later.

Diane - I love the Olivia dress! i just bought that and the Annika in the most recent sale. Those will be projects for January.

The doll clothes and pjs are really cute!

Wendy - prayers for you and your whole family! The shirts are great!

I'm sorry for missing some other stuff!

We are in the car and headed South for Thanksgiving in TN! I finished pretty much everything I wanted to do and got everything packed despite a crazy couple days. Monday evening, we were finishing up dinner when I had a piercing pain in my left chest. It took my breath away for a moment and then continued to hurt quite a bit. It scared dh and I enough that we decided I should go to Urgent Care. Turns out they can't completely rule out a heart attack, so after an EKG, they decided I needed to go to the ER for blood tests. After getting there, they decided to keep me overnight to do a stress test on Tues. (If we weren't going away, I could have done it outpatient.). I didn't get released until after 4pm on Tues. I lost a whole 24 hours of work time to find out I'm perfectly healthy. BUT I really was in pain and had no idea what it was. I'm pretty embarrassed by the whole thing, honestly, but at least we don't need to worry about it on vacation.

Here are my last few items:

T- shirts for one day at Epcot and Chef Mickey's dinner

My Snow White shirt:

Cold weather gear, just in case

Close-up of felties I added to the coats:

I'll try to post some action shots next week!

Regards,
C.

Wendy, I hope your meds will help you with the nausea and get you ready for the surgery. I truly admire your strength and doing what you can do support Steve and Sue even though you are feeling rotten. I will be keeping your family in my prayer in the upcoming days.

I hope your chest pain was a one-time fluke and it won't cause you any problems when you are away. The last few items look great. I can't wait to see the action shots! I hope you will have a safe trip and enjoy Thanksigiving with your family!

I totally love your Christmas shirts and Fleeces. I love the strip of fabric on the shirts. Great idea.

For those stuffing themselves with delicious bounty today, Happy Thanksgiving. For the rest, have a great day and appreciate how well your pants fit!


(of course my kiddos needed one-time use thanksgiving shirts!)

Hi everybody, I wanted to come on and wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. I also wanted to let you know that we have had a few crazy days here at my house. My husband went to the dentist on Monday who felt a mass in his neck. Tuesday he went to the doctor who immediately sent him for an ultrasound. Yesterday he was admitted to the hospital and we were told to expect surgery that day. It turns out that my husband has a very large mass in his thyroid. He will have surgery but they have decided to send him to a surgeon who specializes in head and neck surgeries. It will probably take several days before we know what kind of mass it is and exactly what to expect. We are praying that it isn't cancer and that it is some other kind of mass.

 

[DisneyGal24]

Need help for my trip in June. I am looking for a handmade non-itchy (thats what she says) Cinderella dress for dd6 (will be 7 in may) and possible a pirate outfit for ds3 (will be 4 in march). I don't sew. I am also looking for ideas for matching shirts for the family (iron ons maybe). I heard this was place to come! Help!
