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

th_Sofia.jpg


We have progress on Sofia! I still need to do all the detailing and trim but the base is done. I tried it on her this morning and it's slightly big but not horribly so. At the rate she's growing it'll fit in about 3 weeks. I'm glad I decided to just do it, I read this morning that the Disney Store doesn't expect them back in stock until Halloween :scared1:
This dress is beautiful. At least she will be able to enjoy wearing for awhile.

Actually DH is way more picky on names than I am and he came up with the middle name for this one which I am shocked at. Guess he really does like my mom.

Oh want to know the name my MIL wants for this one Annette. what are we in 1950.
You would be singing "M-I-C K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E" all day and craving Skippy peanut butter.

I haven't been on to say my thanks for all the welcoming and information that has been shared! :wave2:
Right now I am still waiting to get my machine from my grandpa (it is in my grandma's sewing room, which he hasn't touched much since she passed). I called him recently thinking he could tell me the type of machine but that was a no go. He said he never did understand those silly things, LOL :rotfl:. Right now if Mother Nature cooperates we will be heading up to visit him and get my machine on the 9th. All of the items look great, I especially love the under the sea quilt!!!! Precious! Now off to corral the kiddos, we have a snow storm again so all 6 kids will be home today :crazy2:.
Hope the weather cooperates so you can get that machine from your grandfather's house. It will be so nice to sew on a machine that belonged to your grandmother. Be sure to post some pictures when you get it.

Everyone - the concussion is giving me migranes that cause vertigo and dull headaches. They started me on a medication last Thursday, and I havent seen much of a difference yet. I know this will all blow over soon!! Im also having some blurred/double vision, but its not constant - not sure what to do about that one!!!:confused3
Yikes, Wendy. I hope your vision improves and your headaches go away. I'm sorry you are having so many problems from the concussion. Please be sure to check in with your doctor or head to the ER if you need to.

I am way behind again and as usual there is way too much to quote!

Here are a couple of princess dresses I did for my nieces.

I don't think she hated the dress, she had just woke up from a nap!

We had a chance to go see the Broadway version of Beauty and the Beast last Sunday. Here is the outfit I made for Alexa. I didn't think I would be able to get it done because my embroidery machine decided to quit working. Luckily, my local sewing machine repairman was able to fix it.

I've made a couple of these skirts before and I forget how many hours of my life I have to give up for it, lol. She loved it and felt like a princess so it was worth it!
The Rapunzel dress is so cute and I love the Cindy dress with the apron. Such a cute saying, perfect for a shirt for mom too! The B&B dress is gorgeous. I hope you enjoyed the show.

I am going to do something drastic to my computer if it doesn't stop taking forever to upload photos. I've got pictures of no-Disney related lounge pants I made for my husband and Disney related goodies he's made for me, but I can't get them to load. :sad:

I'd also like to help with a big give, but that "pro-boards" thing makes me hesitate. I'm no where near professional level and want to make these special kids something wonderful.
I hope you get your computer figured out soon. My computer is due for an upgrade but I don't want to reinstall it because I will loose my free SEU software.

Your thoughts about the big give are making me smile. I know Diane explained that "pro-boards" was the name of the message board host. No expertise required. Anything that is made or sent is greatly appreciated by the recipients.

Diane - I hope your mom is doing better. I'm glad they have a contact for someone that will be able to help them at home when she is doing better.

My machine offically died this morning. It has been coming for quite a while. It was an old singer with metal gears. I had worn the gears down and had to baby her along for the last 2 years. Well today her motor gave out. Will cost way to much to replace the gears, that is why I have been babying her.

I had a Brother from Walmart as a spare:crazy2:. We moved last July and I have not used it since way before we moved. It is toast too. I think the move must have shook it around too much. It will only make bird's nests. (It was pretty bad before the move horrible machine NEVER buy a machine from Walmart). It is useless now. I feel lost. Knew you guys would understand. It feels like I have lost a close friend. And NOOOO sewing until I can save the money and figure out what I want to replace her. :sad::sad::sad::sad::crazy2::mad::mic::sad::sad::sad::sad:
 
And by the way... not sure if I mentioned here or not...I am going to be a grand mother again! My Disney hating daughter and her Disney loving husband are having their first in about 12 weeks. They are not peeking, so at present time we are all guessing... will it be little Amelia ... or little Alexander? However, they did purchase two sets of Mickey ears in December at Disney in infant size...one with Amelia and one with Alexander...that is how they are planning on announcing to the world if it is a girl or boy!
I certainly hope I do not have to wait ANOTHER 5 years to get my next grand child! LOL Nini

YAY !! Congrats on the new grandbaby to be ! new babies are awesome.

oh no !!! I'll make sure to pack my machine up tight when I move.

I packed it back into the original shipping box. But it was a cheap (both price and how it was made) machine to start with. I am not happy that it bit the dust. It was a nightmare to sew with. But I am VERRRRRRY sad my Singer died. I just set up a sewing space in a closet at Christmas so I could sew some. Started a quilt, finished the top. I pulled out a couple of UFO's to finish up and practice machine quilting on before tackling my "good" top. She died half way through quilting the first UFO.

I am already having withdrawals. No sewing for me until I get a new machine. It makes me just sick to think about it.:crazy2::sad::sad::sad:

Oh no... I would be so SAD if Patience died... My vote is to replace your machine with the exact machine you had. :thumbsup2 (((hugs)))

I don't sew, but I need some help finding some embroidery or applique pictures please. :flower3:

I've used pictures to help me draw some pictures on packages, and as I was decorating Jacob's package I realized I could try to paint a few designs on shirts for Angel's trip. :)

There was a design we saw of a cute little giraffe wearing Mickey ears that she especially loved. :lovestruc I think it may have been on a pant leg. i tried google, but didn't find it.

I am also looking for a few suggestions on simple designs that I might be able to do. I plan to use the designs that I've drawn on the packages - the cruise ship, DCL wave (though that one did cause me fits), and a 4 parks one that had a simple outline of the castle, ball, hat, & tree. I managed a R2D2 Mickey head for Trev, but my attempts at Vader or a Stormtrooper didn't go well, so I do need pretty simple designs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

That may be the saddest thing I've ever heard. Although, what I would do is take this time to learn a new crafty skill; knitting or crochet or hand needlework or polymer clay or beading. But I like learning new things and am addicted to thrift store shopping (for knitting needles and so on.)

Thanks to everyone for the sympathies on my computer woes. It only seems to load up one or two photos before going into the loading zone of foreverness, so maybe I can get some up when I try later this week.

I will definitely sign up for a big give soon. I have an entire box of Disney themed fabric and embelishments that I want to play with but have no good reason to right now.
 
I hope you will recover quickly so you can see your mom. I also hope that your mom will recover quickly from her hip replacement. Certainly that would improve the quality of her life once she is through the rehab.
She has put off the hip replacement for a few years so her hip was really bad by the time she had it done. I am sure that once she recovers, she will be able to be so much more active than before! At first they said that they were sending her directly home from the hospital after only 2 days. But today they decided that she does need to go to rehab. She is being transferred there this evening. It is a relief for my dad because he has been worried about being able to help her.

I did a big give and was very nervous about doing a good enough job. But I guess I did okay and have signed up for another one. It is a great way to pay it forward! The kids are adorable!! So just jump in and don't worry about pro or not pro. I'm certainly NOT a pro!:goodvibes
I agree that the Big Gives are a wonderful way to pay it forward.

You would be singing "M-I-C K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E" all day and craving Skippy peanut butter.
I thought the same things about the name Annette! I guess great minds think alike!:lmao:

So sad about your machines!:sad: Maybe you can find something inexpensive on Craigslist or at a thrift store until you can save up for exactly what you want. I saw a decent looking sewing machine at a thrift store last week for $20. I almost bought it for dd to play with but changed my mind at the last minute.

I hope you get the computer issue straightened out soon. My computer has issues from time to time too. It usually ends up being some kind of virus and then DH has to fix it for me.

Big Gives are a great way to use up some of your Disney fabric!

I agree that doing the Gives are a good way to pay it forward. I know I am not a pro but the families seem to appreciate whatever I made, so I keep going!

I think you are describing one of Heather's design. You can probably go to her site and see the pictures?

She has put off the hip replacement for a few years so her hip was really bad by the time she had it done. I am sure that once she recovers, she will be able to be so much more active than before!

I am glad that she is getting the rehab support while she recovers. I hope she will be up and running quickly!
 
The Tie Dye Mickeys are in their final rinse for Trevors Big Give. They came out super cute. I'll post a picture tomorrow once they are dry.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I had my machine for more than 12 years. It is a sad loss for sure. I have known for the last 2 years the gears were gone. I have taken it easy with her and babied her along. I could not decide between a machine with all the bells and whistles or a heavy duty straight stitch only machine. I wobble back and forth. I scour craigslist and yardsales and goodwill for the last 2 years. Never satisfied with what I found.

Last night on Craigslist was a very heavy duty machine at a steal of a price. Really to good to be true. So mom and I went to check it out. I came home with a new baby. More then I could have dreamed and stronger than I ever thought I could afford. I really think God was watching over me. Things have been very stressful lately and sewing is my stress release. I will post pictures once she is assembled yes she is that big. I just need a name for her now. Thank you ladies I knew you would understand my broken heart and now new joy.

I am so sorry about your old machine. :grouphug:

How wonderful that you were able to find one on Craiglist! I know that sewing helps me relieve stress as well, and I was sad to think of you without a machine. I never thought of naming mine. Perhaps it needs a name. Let us know what you come up with! :goodvibes

I see you found what you were looking for. You can also google coloring book pages. Those usually have nice lines that are good for creating hand appliques.

:laundy: Yeah! I love tie dye shirts but the thought of making one scares me. You might not want to post here until after the family receives them, someone might peek.

How exciting. I was so sad when I heard your machine was dead. How awesome that you were able to find a "new" machine. :cool1:
 
I am finally getting around to posting some pictures of the things I made for my nice and nephew's first trip to Disney world last month. Sorry for the huge pictures:

The dress I made for Kate to wear to our princess breakfast in Norway. This is very similar to one that post a few weeks ago. My niece loved twirling in this dress. She enjoyed showing all the princesses that they were on her dress and Aurora wished she had a dress with all of her friends on it too. :)

My nephew is a huge sports fan and is a major Minnesota Viking's fan which is kind of odd because he was born in Colorado, my brother is a Giant's fan and he currently lives in NC. For Christmas he got a jersey, PJ pants, football and a Viking helmet - like they sell in Epcot, not a football helmet. Purple is his favorite color so that might have something to do with it. :confused3 I could not figure out what I was going to make him for our Epcot day and then I remembered I had this mickey head and found a purple t-shirt at Hobby Lobby. I think this was his favorite shirt of the week.
IMG_4566_zpsf36e6fc4.jpg


They wore these to Chef Mickey and our last day at MK. My nephew's t-shirt was actually a recycle. I made this for my son for one of our trips before I got my embroidery machine. I'm glad he was able to use it but boy I was not good at hand applique:
IMG_4539_zps5112e356.jpg


These were supposed to be for our second day at Epcot and dinner at Coral Reef but we ended up going to AK instead. They still worked for the Animal theme but I would have rather done a cute animal print theme.
IMG_4500_zpsf859b0dc.jpg


I have a few more things to share but need to head out. Hope everyone has a great day.

She knew that your new sewing buddy was ready for you. Her time had come to pass you along to a new friend. I really believe everything happens for a reason.

They wore these to Chef Mickey and our last day at MK. My nephew's t-shirt was actually a recycle. I made this for my son for one of our trips before I got my embroidery machine. I'm glad he was able to use it but boy I was not good at hand applique:

These were supposed to be for our second day at Epcot and dinner at Coral Reef but we ended up going to AK instead. They still worked for the Animal theme but I would have rather done a cute animal print theme.

I have a few more things to share but need to head out. Hope everyone has a great day.

Don't apologize for posting large pictures, we like large pictures! The princess dress is beautiful. The other outfits looked great too. Too bad about the Nemo set and ended up in AK. I think the set worked well for AK too though.
