Disboutiquers Part 4ish Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[CastleCreations]

Well you all know how much I love Minnie dot. Today was my day. I found 3.75 yards for 9.99 on of course I bought that right away, and I went to el-walmarto, and found their smaller dot for 2 dollars a yard, so I bought all 10 yards. Let's hear it for me... yea me!! and no, I'm not sharing..laughing:

 

[CastleCreations]

Can I get your opinion? I saw these outfits, well the dress and top at Wallyworld today, and thought they'd be great for the cruise. I bought Lex a white skirt to go with her top, but it was awful, so she has on her white pants for the picture, any way, they looked nice at first, but the more I looked at them, the less I liked them...are they ugly? They still have the tags on, and can go back if needed.

I also wanted to add, that I bought Lexie's outfit big,because she will have grown by then, and if not, I can just take up the straps.
Oh yeah...we got out Kaiya Eve pettiskirt top, the ruffle one today in the mail...wha-hoo!

Wow I am back from my traffic court!

Testifying was easy. The attorney asked me some questions and had me explain my pictures from the accident.
THen the police officer testified.

Then the truck driver testified and said that he couldn't see me because of the other pickup truck that had cut me off. He made some sort of comment that I had my dog on my lap. Yes, Sophie the 8 lb mini dachshund was curled up on my lap. Then the judge asked him if the dog was driving.
THe truck driver was really rude and was saying how people speed down that road all the time and that they call the police all the time to get people to let the trucks out. and the Judge said I don't care what anyone else does driving down that road. THe point is that Ms. Daniel had every right to be driving down the road and you had no right to pull out and hit her.

So of course the guy was found guilty. Then they sentenced him. The attorney said first of all here is his prior record and the truck driver said what does that have to do with this! THe attorney shuffled the papers and counted. The Truck driver had 20 moving violations and 7 license suspensions. Just since 1998.
THe judge just threw the book at him and sentence him to 12 months probation, the first 24 hours in custody. If he has one more moving violation he will have to serve his remaining time in jail. 64 hours community service, $750 fine and he can't drive for the first 15 days and then he can only drive for work for 60 days. So the truck driver left in handcuffs.
Both the judge and the prosecutor really chewed him out. I never expected anything like that to happen. I really don't know how this man is licensed to drive. I bet he can't go 12 months with out a moving violation and ends up in jail.

Does anyone have the link for the coupon for Joann's?
I went to the website but can't find the coupon anywhere there.
I am signed up for the emails but haven't received anything and the
snail mail coupon always comes a week late here in Canada.
Thanks so much!

[katmiller79]

Im looking for some bambi fabric. if anyone runs across any let me know I need a small amount. about a yard would be great. for not a arm and a leg LOL.

My oldest asked about something pocahontas themed.

Thanks!

 

[CampbellScot]

Here are Megan's socks! Before:

After:

I guess I still used big pieces because it's more wavy than curly, but we'll take it. She got some compliments at the bus stop. I did pick up some styling lotion like Elisa suggested and we'll see how that goes.

I made her wear her monkey dress and told her to tell all her friends if they wanted one, have their moms bid on it tonight. Megan said she would only tell her girl friends, which I thought was an excellent point.

Megan is so dang cute. She's such a girlie girl! I LOVE It that she was a commercial today! How BRILLIANT of Megan to only tell her girlfriends! She's got a head on her shoulders!

my love to Scrappy of course!

Thanks for all your help with my tear, I got it fixed and here are some pictures of the finished product

The back

A close up of my correction. I ended up having to all the ribbon because (1) my hand sewing abilities could use a little work and (2) when I was ironing, my iron was too hot and I ended up burning the fabric a little and the ribbon covers up most of it. I'm glad I'm done with this one!!!!!!!

Now, I have to stop sewing and finish scrapbooking some calendars for Mother's Day so I can get those sent out before we leave in 8 days.

Looks FAB!!!

The dresses are cute! Of course they can't hold a candle to anything you'd make, but cute for *store bought*... Ohhhh I'd LOVE to see the Kaiya Eve Petti top! Those are SO cute!!

WAIT!!!!! That man endangered the life of your DACHSHUND?! That's it...lock him up for life! Poor Sophie...8lbs huh? My little darling is pushing 20...some mini he turned out to be!!!

I am SO glad that the judge saw through the truck driver's obnoxiousness. Like having your angel baby on your lap has ANYTHING to with his careless and reckless driving. I'm surprised he hasn't hurt anyone more seriously. I love the cavalier attitude so many of these people have...they are driving around in what amounts to a large TANK and they think that people should watch out for THEM!

I hope he lost his license. I hope he has to take a dachshund sensitivity course. I hope a doxie wees on his boots! And bites his big toe!

MEAN man.



glad it went well!!!

pats to your Sophie from me and my Beauregard Jackson Biltmore III

I think the ribbon placket is really cute. I love little accents like that. Could you tie and pin some ribbon bows on the hem of the pants to pull the look together even more? That way you get to use the ribbon again and make it look even more on purpose!

 

[lovesdumbo]

When cutting buttonholes, put a pin at the end of the buttonhole and your seam ripper will not cut beyond that. BTDT too!

How many posts do I need before I can add pictures and do the "quote" thingy??

Sue

I think for photos it is only 10. I didn't know there was a min. for quotes.

This is adorable! What is a buttonhole cutter look like? It sounds like something I could use.

When Taja mentioned it I did a search on the internet-looks a bit like an exacto knife.

Well you all know how much I love Minnie dot. Today was my day. I found 3.75 yards for 9.99 on of course I bought that right away, and I went to el-walmarto, and found their smaller dot for 2 dollars a yard, so I bought all 10 yards. Let's hear it for me... yea me!! and no, I'm not sharing..laughing:

Do you have an H&M store near you? I was there at lunch and have the cutest minnie dot socks and tights.

Wow I am back from my traffic court!

Must be nice to have that over. What a piece of work that truck driver is!

 

[Adi12982]

I just found a good tutorial for making those juicebox purses. It's got lots of pictures:

http://www.mormonchic.com/crafty/juice-pouch-purse.asp

I missed a couple of pages a while back, so sorry if this was already posted. I added it to the bookmarks (under bags), too.

ETA: I think all of our LDS buddies will appreciate the name of this site!

Hehe. . . there are actually quite a few tutorial's on that site. . . .

I'm so glad to hear that it went well!! It is so scary that someone with such a terrible record is out there driving!

 

[SallyfromDE]

Well, I know I missed a ton of things. But I had to read the list backwards. When I logged on, I had no new messages. And I knew this couldn't be possible.

I made my oldest DD's American Girl Doll a dress to match my DD's shirt. That dress was harder to make than the girls' sizes! It has been a good 10 years since I've done buttonholes so I was afraid of that but they came out good until I too had a small mishap with the seam ripper. I cut the thread of the buttonhole on one of the buttonholes. Not a huge deal since it is just for a doll but I've got to get a buttonhole cutter before I do the buttonholes on the girls' shirts!

Be sure to put fray check on the threads to the button hole. I was taught to do it that way, and it's a step I never miss. Even though half the time my button holes look pretty bad. This dress looks really cute!

My Wal-Mart just closed their fabric department and when I went back home to Alabama a few weeks ago, I asked one of the ladies there if it would be closing and she said that eventually all Wal-Mart fabric departments will close whenever that store does its remodeling. This particular Wal-Mart at one time was the absolute largest they had and I believe it is still one largest out there. So I'm guessing it just depends on when they all do the remodel. The Florence store that I was at had done a remodel around a year or so ago, so it may be a while before they lose the fabric department.

Our Walmart isn't that old. Maybe 2 years. They wanted it to be a Super Walmart, but coudln't purchase enough property. Anyway, the ladies that work there, told us that so far, they are not slated to have fabric removed. PHEW!!

 

[jham]

This was the highlight of khrystian's day (besides his shirt and new shoes) i think this was more .. he is walking around with his card From Jayden (Jhammie's adorable DD). Thank you Jayden,,,

Oooh, I'm glad he got it on time! I was trusting DH to put it in the mailbox for me! Jayden had fun making it! She will be so excited when I show her your post!

Jayden just got home and I showed her the picture of Khrystian. I think it made HER day. She is giggling and giggling.

 

[rie'smom]

Our WalMart was remodelled and we have a fabirc dept. it's not fabulous but it's pretty darn good. The 2 closest are about 20 and 30 minutes away and those have fabric too. Of course by the time you get there, you've passed Hobby Lobby and Hancocks and i'm not about to go past those!!!.

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

The minute I saw this I said...Now that I LOVE!! So cute! I like those buttons and the satin trim on the back is perfect and the pants match perfect! Really cute!! I love that fabric- wish we had that at our walmart. but I bought enough disney stuff so now I cant really run out to buy more til I use what I've got.

Adorable! I finished reading thru all the directions, made my pattern and cut out the fabric- now I just have to start sewing. I think the only part that seemed a little confusing to me is the last step where you finish off the side seam to close it up. What did you say was important to remember to do??

I wanted to show buttons in better photo- DD loves these buttons


Today is the first time she has worn pig tails.



Can I just say- it is freekin beautiful here today!!!!!! I think the temp is 78- no humidity, clear, sunny. Ahh, Im in heaven!! Too bad it's supposed to be light rain on Sun (day of party)
I put together goodie bags (Ill take a pic if anyone wants to see)
I got these shaped cell-o bags
inside
-1 butterfly bubbles necklace
-1 big swirl lollipop
-1 smiley face stamp
-1cup with flexi straw with balloons on it
-1 whirly bird
-1 punch ball
-small can playdoh


Can I give these to the kids as they arrive? Im not doing any games or anything. I have like 12 adults and 6 kids coming. She is only turning 2 so its more of a adult gathering. Or should I give them out as they leave and let them just play with each other?
Ages of kids range from 7-11m, with several being almost 3 or 3.5

Edited to Add-----Oh and I need help with food suggestions-
Right now the plan is burgers and dogs
cake and ice cream of course
-potato salad, which my mother is bringing
Im having a brain fart- what else should I be offering?
some ppl are driving up to 2hrs to get here so I want to be sure theres stuff for everyone

Update on foster dog. She's doing great, no chewing disasters, no accidents, and just really sweet. Did I mention she is from southern LA? husband went to jail, wife leaving while he was in jail, I was told he was abusive to her (wife and Kayla)- but I was right about her Heartworm treatment- this vets office does the 2 month version of HW treatment and nobody told me or the contact this. I told them my hard stop was like May 24- because Im leaving for WDW the 29th and putting house on market when we return. She is up for adoption now and getting lots of inquiries and its only been 1 day.

little one is so so so cute in those piggy tails!!!

I tend to wait for the end of the party for treat bags. It helps ease the *pain* of the party being over...gives the kiddies something to take home and it keeps them from making a mess with whatever is in the bag all over YOUR house!

you are a good person to foster a dog. Poor babies...so many pups out there need help!

HEY SUE! You have to have 10 posts to post pics. It's perfectly fine to do a countdown! Start posting, sister! For quotes, I 'm not sure if there is a minimum.

Can I get your opinion? I saw these outfits, well the dress and top at Wallyworld today, and thought they'd be great for the cruise. I bought Lex a white skirt to go with her top, but it was awful, so she has on her white pants for the picture, any way, they looked nice at first, but the more I looked at them, the less I liked them...are they ugly? They still have the tags on, and can go back if needed.

I also wanted to add, that I bought Lexie's outfit big,because she will have grown by then, and if not, I can just take up the straps.
Oh yeah...we got out Kaiya Eve pettiskirt top, the ruffle one today in the mail...wha-hoo!

I think they're cute! I think they'll be great for a cruise!

POST PICS of the petti top! PLEASE!

Wow I am back from my traffic court!

That is SCARY! How terrifying that the guy is still driving with such a driving history. I can't believe that a trucking company would allow him to drive with such a record. That is INSANE!

And just in case someone comes across this and is interested- here is Kayla's Petfinder Listing
http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=10662891

CastleCreations- I like the colors of the dresses. I also love the white pants with the top. THe only thing I kind of wondered is the fabric almost looks like it's meant for chesty girls. But maybe its just me. I think Im biased too cause I have SEEN what you sew and these pale in compairson to your creations. Tell me you didnt sell that "cruise outfit" and that Ireland is gonna wear it.

 

[SallyfromDE]

Found this on Isn't it adorable!!The seller says it's a new fabric. Now I have something to look forward to!
