Disboutiquers part 3 (Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes)

[phins_jazy]

I have been wanting to make one of these, but was waiting until I got my ruffler. Do you make it just like a regular tiered skirt, only with chiffon?

yes but a super, super, super full tiered skirt. Two layers on the middle and bottom rows. The bottom layer had 10 widths of fabric!!!! And of course instead of just the two layers I put 4 because I didn't think it was full enough! Sheesh!

 

[phins_jazy]

I have sewn this pattern once with very little success and I will NEVER sew it again I will gladly pay 40$ for a Petti on before I ever put myself thru that again!!! Yours turned out much cuter than the one I made.

I didn't wanna shell out the money on but going through this ordeal.....(the pattern, the 18 million yards of tulle, the sheer frustration! I set this thing aside soooo many times because I was so angry with it....took me 3 weeks to get it all done!) I will gladly buy one on for each of my girls!!!!!!

 

[jham]

Wow! There is so much going on around here!

Teresa and Heather ~ I will be praying for your sister in law. That is very scary. Even more so when you have kids.

I love love love all of the new things! There is so much inspiration here. I have a few patchwork skirts started, but they have taken a position in my "to do " basket once I got to the gathering stage! I guess that Teresa and I have the same gathering allergy!

Scrapbooking ~ I put mine away 2 years ago and haven't touched it since. I think I was working on Drew's first week home, so I guess I'm about 6 1/2 years behind now! I don't have any excuses either. My sister is a creative memories consultant and she is always trying to get me to take a few days off (from being a mom!) and go to the lake with her for a scrapbooking weekend. The problem is I get down there and fall asleep in the hammok and I don't get anything done!

We did the Princesses on Ice show last night. The girls loved it! It was a lot of fun. Riley almost missed it. She had the flu for 4 days and her fever was finally gone yesterday for the first time since it started. I kind of had to throw something together for her "special" outfit out of things we had around home. She is too grown up for a total custom, but she still wants mommy to make something for her too!

I had a tinkerbelle skirt in my car that Riley thought didn't fit right. I am so glad I hadn't returned it yet! I cut the tink off and put it on her jeans. These jeans have been "done up" for Halloween, Christmas, valentines and now tink! I just keep tearing it off and redecorating.

The girls took their AG dolls and dressed them up in their princess costumes with their ice skates! I thought that was pretty clever of them.

Cute outfits! I just love that green ruffly fabric! And if you ever decide to resell DD's Lelli Kellys when she outgrows them, PM me! I love their dolls in the princess outfits with ice skates! I can't show DD10, she will be so jealous!

I wasn't going to make DD an Easter dress, but when she saw this fabric in Joann's, she asked if I would make her one. Soooo...here it is. I will ruffle a pair of jeans to go with it since it is a little short. I think it is missing something. Should I put a long peasant dress under it with the ruffle peeking out? (and then maybe skip the jeans?) Would white look ok under it or should I go with a color? I only have tonight to sew it since we are going up north tomorrow morning. Any thoughts?

I liked someone's idea of a lavender underdress.

Hi Everyone!
I have been lurking for the past few days...which I HATE...I feel like I'm missing a limb or something...
ANYWAY! You have all posted some amazingly CUTE stuff...as always! I am just LOVING the peasant underdresses! I've still got to make some of those! I've been making dresses, dresses, and more dresses...
I just finished a couple of dress/pants for my girlfriend who is having twins...I wanted to share
I also made some barrettes to match....

This is Saylor wearing her Easter outfit...with the beret hat...which I

And this is for jham as requested...I have to say, it is so cute on! LOVE skulls!

Okay, back to sewing!

Hope Tessa had a super Happy Birthday! And Teresa & Heather, I am praying for you SIL...what nice DISers to help get some information (and THANKS too! I think we all need to be educated!)!!!

Very cute toile outfits! Who is having twins? Love the matching clippies. Saylor looks cutest in her matching beret! Oh, and that binky in her mouth reminded me--I found her binky on the pink and brown ribbon in Lily's room. LOVE the skull pants! I bought the rest of the bolt of that fabric at Joanns. You didn't leave me much! Lily needs her some pirate pants!

 

[SilverMickey]

Tha baby makes one cute pirate!


We are going to a pirate and princess party on May 3 (I think)! I picked up some pirate skulls material like the little romper suit and dress from an earlier post. 30% off woot! I want to make skull caps for my boys out of it. I thought I might put a mickey head on a red t-shirt for them also... and maybe a pirate sash to hold a sword. Black shorts....

Is this just a little overboard for my age group?... My boys are 12 and 13 (just barely). They would honestly jump off a bridge if I asked them to so please guide me... How far should i take this dressing up for the PP&P?

I don't understand why they call it pre cancer, when it sounds like it is cancer. I'm just so confused. I am so worried about Barbara. She is hard of hearing and a little slow, so when the doctors tell her things, she doesn't always understand. I hope she doesn't have to have a mastectomy, I think that would really devistate her. But, I do hope she does whatever she should to stay healthy.

How is your sister doing?

Please make sure that she takes Tamoxifen (brand name Nolvadex) after her radiation. Most drs now give tamoxifen to DCIS patients but some drs for some reason don't since it is a pre-cancerous condition. The course for Breast Cancer is 5 yrs. I know another poster said 2 years for DCIS but not sure what is recommended. I promoted this drug 8 yrs ago before kids (so things change) but the benefits GREATLY outweigh the risks. If you have any questions about this drug please feel free to PM me. I talked about it for hours on end so I know a lot about it.

Sorry I have posted a lot lately, I've been lurking/skimming - I'm actually trying to "do something" with all the wonderful sewing skills I have learned from all the great ladies on here.

Oh that's adorable!!! I'll have to check out that seller. I missed out on a group buy on another site and I keep kickin myself.

Okay, here's a bigger pic of my Mulan applique (work in progress). In case you didn't see my first post, I was reprimanded for posting tiny pictures. I had already changed the size on photobucket, so when I enlarged the pic it looks a little blurry, but at least you can see it better.
I still have lots of work to do on this (satin-stitching, hair decorations, parasol handle and splines, facial features, etc.) but you can still get the basic idea. This will eventually be placed on the front of a tank top for a fellow dis'ers DD to wear with a red pettiskirt.

Now, don't you think reprimanded is a little stong! I thought of it as an honest plea to see your beautiful creations!

Hi ladies and gents....I would like to join,I just am about to book our first WDW trip and NEED to make a few cute things for the kids to wear, maybe a few blakies for them to take in the car. I'm not great with my machine I do a lot of hand quiling and have made some "baby leggs" on the machine also have made some cloth diapers and womens menstral items by machine. Other than that I'm not sure about clothing...eek! I love all the things you all have made, great pics!

you can do it!!! Just ask if you need help!

Thanks for all the sweet coments on Emma's dress. I snapped a pic this morning before she went off to school. This is their last day before Easter break and they will have an Easter Chapel so I let her wear it. I must have had the wrong setting on the camera in my rush to snap a pic because it is really grainy! No pics of Noah - he has a handsome Easter outfit too but be is home sick for the third day.

Emma looks gorgeous!!!! I loved it before, but it is even prettier on!

I wasn't going to make DD an Easter dress, but when she saw this fabric in Joann's, she asked if I would make her one. Soooo...here it is. I will ruffle a pair of jeans to go with it since it is a little short. I think it is missing something. Should I put a long peasant dress under it with the ruffle peeking out?

Really cute, I think a colored peasant top would be really cute. Any of the colors of the dots would be really nice. I too am partial to the lavendar though!

Wow! There is so much going on around here!

Teresa and Heather ~ I will be praying for your sister in law. That is very scary. Even more so when you have kids.

The girls took their AG dolls and dressed them up in their princess costumes with their ice skates! I thought that was pretty clever of them.

Thank you.

Riley and Drew look adorable!!! I love their AG dolls!

Well, I went to our Wal-Mart yesterday (it has been forever) and it is going to quit having the fabric department, so I loaded up on some clearance fabric.

Here is what I got for right around $25.00

In the bag is gold cording for Michael's Prince Charming costume, a yard of ribbon for some hair bows and 4 different colors of the tulle. I haven't worked with tulle yet but I figured for .49 cents a yard I would go ahead and get it. I guess I will just add it to my huge storage box that is full of material for future projects!

For those of you near Atlanta, this is from the Wal-Mart on Mansell Rd. in Alpharetta.

Great deals, but how sad your fabric department is closing!

I've got more projects that we've done this past week that I need to get pics of and post them too.

It turned out great!! Sorry it was such a headache to complete!

I am very behind. Happy Birthday Tessa!

My mother sent this today, Megan's Easter dress. She embroidered the butterflies and ladybugs. It is so cute!

I know we are not supposed to be embarassed about their hair and stuff, but my five year old stamped her face and feet! What is she, 2? I was livid!

Jacob did not get an Easter outfit this year. He was most happy he got a book instead (I know Teresa and UMama will notice him reading in the background).

This is what I made from a storybook kit I got from . I am very peased with it. I even made a headband (without huge daisy) from Teresa's bookmarks. Thanks Teresa!

I really made this for me. Bambi was always my favorite Disney movie. I prefered the animal movies to the princesses so I am happy she let me make this for her. And it goes with her Bambi panties (Thursday, Heather).

Did ya'll spot the hidden Scrappy? I cracky myself up!

Megan wet the bed last night so I have to go get her sheets out of the dryer and make up her bed. It is always a project because there are 50 stuffed animals on there.

The blue dress is gorgeous!!! Your Mom does a great job!

I love Bambi outfit. We are partial to Bambi in this house!!!

What book is Jacob reading?

Yeah! I spotted the hidden Scrappy!

I have to get back to my sewing machine. I finished a twirl skirt that I made for DD and now I have to finish up the top. I plan on cutting up the sheets that I bought. I think that I will be CASEing Teresa? or Heather? I can't remember which one, but it was the cute dress made out of sheets.

Heather made that cute little dress! I may be CASEing it soon, because Heather gave me some of the fabric!!!!

CUTE outfits!! I love the tiwns ones!!!
Saylor looks adorable as always!!!!

Thanks for the prayers!

OH MY GOSH!!! That is the sweetest thing EVER!!!! Tessa was VERY pleased with the picture!!!! She said "I am going to make Luke a LOVE card. I think he would like a Peter Pan one because he is wearing a Peter Pan shirt." Just now she said "Tell him that is the bestest card I've ever seen. He will be the bestest husband ever. Ask what is his favorite character of Disney."
Yes, we will definitely have to exchange addresses!

That Tessa is too cute!!!!

 

[teresajoy]

I'm a dummy. For the skirt part I put the right sides together and it came out nice. But this bodice thing totally confused me and I basically did what the picture looks like. I lined up the 2 pieces of fabric to match together overlapped it and sewed. I'm embarrased.

Sorry, I missed this post last night.

Please, don't be embarrased! You are learning!!! I'm glad we were able to help you. Don't hesitate to ask any other questions you have. This thread is just full of such wonderful people!!!

I have a question about sensory integration disorder, my son was diagnosed with this when he was 1 and he had therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. Then they retested him and he was caught up in his milestones so no more therapy. But I don't understand did he outgrow the sensory problem. I notice him doing things that makes me think he may still have issues, like spinning around in circles. He also has terrible separation anxiety. He is 3 1/2 now.

I wanted to ask you the same thing I asked Miss Cammie, do children outgrow Sensory Integration Disorder? What can I do for my son to help him if he needs help. We worked with Babies can't wait when he was younger. I think he would love a weighted vest.

HI - Well let me take a try at this....- it does happen that when your sensory system matures some and kind of "reorganizes" itself that your sensory issues dont interfere with your developmental milestones as much so you can catch up and continue to progress on your own- and then insurance or school services wouldnt then pay for therapy. Because our brains are very plastic and change all the time depending on the activities we are participating in, the therapy that was provided to him helped him to reorganize so the sensory issues be came less evident and he also learned to deal with some things that may have been difficult for him. Also, Many insurance companies see "SI" as experimental with not much to objectively back it up, so unless there are other issues, sometimes SI is a very difficult diagnosis to get coverage for unfortunately.

On the other hand, there is a tool for a younger child called The Sensory Profile which can help a therapist determine if, based on parent report, sensory issues are interfering with daily life. Do you recall if your son was a "sensory seeker" because maybe he just really enjoys that type of play and yes, he may continue to do those types of things or, was he sensory defensive, which can lead to anxiety because the world of a 3 year old can be very unpredictable. Or could it be that he has some other anxiety issues that are not sensory related? Once your child is I think at least 4.5, there is a very standardized test called the Southern California Sensory Integration and Praxis Test that could be given and gives very specific results.

Maybe its time to take him back to an OT for a checkup? They could do things like the sensory profile and then maybe a Peabody Developmental Test to make sure he is continuing on a good track. Even if he does check out within normal limits, they may be able to help you develop a "sensory diet" of activities to help him self regulate throughout the day to make sure his body gets all the sensory input that it is looking for in appropriate ways at appropriate times (like we have to learn that in the middle of class at school isnt an appropriate time to spin in circles, but maybe we could squeeze a squish ball or something like that).

As your little one gets older, if you see difficulty with self regulation, there is a program called "How Does Your Engine Run" that maybe helpful in helping him find the right things to do at the right times to help him keep his sensory level "just right".

I hope I was a little helpful, please dont hesitate to ask more questions if you have them!!

Hey thanks! My friend Stephanie (she was here for the wedding, lives in AZ, but we met in FL...she had leukemia, quit her treatments, waited the required 6 months and got pregnant...WITH twins! They're pretty much miracle babies!!!!)....this is girl #3 and #4...awesome, huh?
We've been looking for that bink! Nice! I just went to Joann's yesterday and got 2 more yards of the pirate...when were you there?

Okay, I just finished this...what do you all think? Imagine a big black button on the pants too...need to go buy one...I thought it would tie it all together...??

Jham and I found this style to be very popular at this cute little kiddie boutique we went to the other day...

it's about the only kind of applique I'm not askeered of!
I was thinking it could be kind of "Minnie" without ears, sadly, because of copyright and all that nonsense....

Wow you are very helpful! He initially had a lot of issues with eating. He gagged on everything. So his primary food was Momma milk and he got anemic. But while he gagged on food everything else (toys) he had to put in his mouth. We did a lot of massage on his face, I had to brush him with a special brush the therapist brought me. We wrapped him up in towels when he had a bath. And the therapist swung him in a bag and spun him around on a spinning board.

Do I need to go through my pediatrician to get him evaluated by a OT? Or can I just call his first OT? I liked her a lot.

I must've got to Joann's after you did! There was only a little over a yard left on the bolt! I went after I picked Luke up from preschool, which is unusual because I usually go while he is still there! I found some cute fabric and made (up) the EASIST ever "tween" skirt for Jayden. I will get photos when I have time. The whole thing took me 30 minutes including ironing and cutting fabric and serging, and that is with Lily on my lap or in my chair most of the time. I love easy! And I think it is cute. I may try to make a more fitted version. Jayden really needs church appropriate skirts, which are hard to find in the summer. Sorry about the bink! Didn't notice it until today (okay, I confess, it was house cleaning day).

 

[jham]

Tessa LOVED all the birthday greetings. I was reading them to her and she would say "Are all of those smileys for me? Even the butterfly?" Thank you all for taking the time to tell her happy birthday and finding the special images and such! You're all so great!


OH MY GOSH!!! That is the sweetest thing EVER!!!! Tessa was VERY pleased with the picture!!!! She said "I am going to make Luke a LOVE card. I think he would like a Peter Pan one because he is wearing a Peter Pan shirt." Just now she said "Tell him that is the bestest card I've ever seen. He will be the bestest husband ever.

Yes, we will definitely have to exchange addresses!

How cute is that Tessa!!! She is too funny. I'd love to see her and Lydia together! That is funny that she noticed the Peter Pan shirt. I was making Luke hold the card carefully to cover all (most of) the food he wiped on his pants. Why do my kids think pants are for wiping hands? BTW who is Lydia's favorite princess? Preferably narrowed down to Cinderella, Snow White, Aurora and Mulan? (no reason )

 

[HeatherSue]

I have been having a hard time keeping up the last week or so. I love all the new outfits, but I haven't had enough time to comment on all of them!

Hi ladies and gents....I would like to join,I just am about to book our first WDW trip and NEED to make a few cute things for the kids to wear, maybe a few blakies for them to take in the car. I'm not great with my machine I do a lot of hand quiling and have made some "baby leggs" on the machine also have made some cloth diapers and womens menstral items by machine. Other than that I'm not sure about clothing...eek! I love all the things you all have made, great pics!

!!

I really LOVE this dress and it looks even cuter on!

How cute! I think it would look adorable with a yellow peasant dress under it. Teresa said there was some cute sparkly yellow fabric at WalMart.

Teresa and Heather ~ I will be praying for your sister in law. That is very scary. Even more so when you have kids.

They look so cute! How cool that you keep re-theming the same jeans!

I love the outfit your mom made and Tessa loved the butterflies on it! The bambi outfit is way too cute! Bambi is my mom's favorite Disney movie, so I have a special place in my heart for it, too.

 

[jham]

I forgot to ask: Is that the fabric from the cotton shop???

I was there while Brody was at school, so, I just BARELY missed you! NICE! K, gotta see that skirt! Sounds perfect!!!!!

So, in more of my obsessive type behavior...I made these...

I made these as Bunko prizes...I'm hosting in April...kinda dorky, but, what the heck! I like that pattern...I want to make it bigger though, think that would work? Hmmm....

So...if any of you locals (ahem, jham, utahmama, or spongie) are free on Wed., April 2nd at 7:00 p.m. at MY house...Bunko-a-rama!!! It's FUN! Or, if anyone will be in the Salt Lake Area at that time, y'all are invited!!!

Okay, I'm hoping photobucket fixes my pics...I promise I turned them and re sized them!!! sorry!!!
