Disboutiquers Part 7 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[HeatherSue]

Thanks for the compliments guys! I hope you know how much that means to me!

Those are great! I need to come up with some boy ideas to make for the big give. I don't have a lot of experience in that genre!

I love the polly pocket dress. Will I get kicked out of here if I say that I actually think this one looks prettier without the petti????? The bottom is so pretty, I think you should let it show.

And......... I totally think I could take her! She doesn't look like she's in that good of shape. I'll just have to pull out all my gangster stay at home kansas mom moves on her!

I'm glad you like it without the petti because Tessa hates wearing it! I just convinced her to put it on for some pictures!

"gangster stay at home Kansas Mom moves"

I love both of these. Clay is going to LOVE that Peter Pan shirt. WOW! How on earth did you applique that ship? That is just pretty amazing.

Thank you! It was a pretty easy applique since I only used 3 different pieces (5 if you count the 2 little flags). I ironed all the pieces on and then I appliqued the moon. Next, I drew the rigging lines on the boat on with a washable fabric pen. I went over those lines first with a straight stitch (actually, it was a fancier stitch that looked sorta like rope on my machine) and then went around the appliques. It only took me 2 hours to actually do the applique stitching, which is fast for me.

I've been so busy I didn't even know we had a new thread! Here I am posting on page 12 for the first time, the shame!!!

I finished Clay's (GoofyDoo's son) BIG GIVE outfit today and already mailed it out. Here's some pictures.

Heather, that t-shirt looks professional! Awesome job on the applique!! Tessa's dress is so sweet. Perfect design for that fabric!

First, I need to share some good news....

I got a ruffler! They were on sale at Hancoks for $20. Now, to figure it out....it is huge and strange looking!

i also noticed when I got home that the mickey fabric I bought rang up as 50% off instead of 25% off. If I knew that I would have bought more than 2 yards!

Woo Hoo!!

 

[mytwotinks]

I just want to tell you guys all thank you so much for the concern you are showing Riley and I. This is turning into such a mess, and honestly I am sure that the nurse I call hag does think that I'm a total psycho! I can't say that I am always in control of my emotions when I am frustrated and worried and upset and scared. I just don't think it's too much to ask that they be a little bit understanding about how difficult this situation is for us. I know that it is not her fault when the doctor doesn't provide the help we need and she gets frustrated that she can't do anything, but she doesn't need to add her nasty comentary.

Anyway... Thank you all and know that I appreciate it so much. I have been in tears many times when I read all of the lovely things that you ladies post to me. I hope to get to meet some of you in person some day. I don't really have "real life" friends that share my hobbies, so this is my spot to be excited with and for people who "get" how wonderful it feels to create something!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

Great find! Congrats on the ruffler! That is next on my list!

I guess I need to head to Hancocks if the Mickey fabric is on sale!

Yay! I got my computer to read my memory card!!!!!

Here is an outfit I made Drew last month. She needed some comfy clothes and she loves stuff like this.

SOOO pretty.

Here's the set I am sending Shay Lynne (BG #2) today!

I LOVE IT! Seriously, LOVE it...I want one!!

I also made Tessa a dress. I've been working here and there on it for a few weeks, but I just got it finished. Just for Teresa, I'm going to call it my Polly Pockets dress.

I used the Simply Sweet pattern for the bodice. But, I modified it by making the front more of a sweetheart neckline and making it come up a little higher in the armpit area. I made it bigger so it will fit her next year, too.

I made a teeny little skirt thing and sewed it onto the bodice for a 3d look.

For the skirt, I made up my own pattern after I saw a cute skirt made from one of those euro patterns that had big scallops like this.

I got the fabric for $1.50 on clearance at JoAnn, so it only cost me $3 to make it!!

Without the pettiskirt:

GORGEOUS Heather

Oh wow, that is so cool! I bet he'll flip when he sees it. I try really hard to not CASE ideas I see here but I may have to find a way to do my own version of a silhouette appliqué now...

I also made Tessa a dress. I've been working here and there on it for a few weeks, but I just got it finished. Just for Teresa, I'm going to call it my Polly Pockets dress.

That is so pretty and you scored on getting that fabric. I'm in agreement with Denise that your scalloped hem is too pretty to get lost in the fluff of the pettiskirt. The drape of the skirt looks perfect all on it's own.

Those are great! I need to come up with some boy ideas to make for the big give. I don't have a lot of experience in that genre!

You definitely need to try it. It can be a challenge if you mostly sew for girls (or at least it's a challenge for me) but the great thing is no RUFFLES ALLOWED!!

Here's the set I am sending Shay Lynne (BG #2) today!

I hope they like tacky the way we do around my house!

The mickey head is a little bunched up in the pics. It does look better than that, but to be honest it isn't perfectly straight which is driving me crazy. My sister said it is good and to send it. I have to as much as I hate to. If I try to make everything 100% perfect, I'll never get anything sent out.

That is most definitely not tacky! Putting prints together like that is nerve wracking at first but go with your instincts and ignore the internal doubts.

BTW - I doubt you could get a perfectly straight Mickey outline on a stretch fabric especially a rib knit. It might work if you used stabilizer to keep the knit from stretching as you sewed on the buttons but once the stabilizer was removed, I bet things would still shift a bit. I have a feeling you're the only one who notices anyway so just don't point them out and let people admire your work.

I just wanted to send you a and to let you know that I am praying for Riley to get better I know how hard is when you do not see the light at the end of the tunnel...

I came to New York in the 80's as an exchange student from Puerto Rico, I went to Oswego State University , at the time I did not speak the language or knew anyone and it was my first experience of being away from home, I started having headaches and first paid no mind , then they got so bad that my school work started to get affected, I went to the doctor and all I was told was that it was in my head, I was too stressed, I needed to get used to a different life , and some doctors told me that I was looking for attention and was pretending so I believed the doctors and tried to ignore my pain and live with it. During that time I was prescribed Xanax, Valium, and a bunch of other medication

I finished school and moved to Staten Island, one day crossing Hylan Bldv (will never forget!!) I went blind and lost consciousness I was taken to Staten Island University Hospital, and there I was seen by the ER doctors that had no idea what was wrong with me , It so happen that a group of medical student were at the emergency room and because I was a "rare" case asked me if they could see me and talk to me, I first did not wanted to speak to this young kids that were not even doctors...after they saw me one of the medical student remembered discussing in class about a medical syndrome called pseudo tumor celebri... I did not fit the profile but the doctors decided to do some test and do a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) and the pressure was so high that the doctors could not believe that I still have my sight.

It's been years and I had several surgeries for shunts that do not work, last august I went to my neurosurgeon and told him something was wrong and he gave me a referral to a psychiatrist (this from the surgeon that operated me 4tims and knew my medical history) and told me to go home, the same day I was admitted to the hospital because the shunt was out of place and embedded in the wrong side of my stomach I had emergency surgery the next day, to this day is still a struggle with doctors that believe that we females "pretend to be sick" and are "looking for attention" after all this years I have yet to find the "right" doctor so I can empathize with you

On the other side my husband had a bad headache went to the ER and was admitted for a day for testing on what turned out to be "Stressed Headache"... see double standards...

Sorry for a long post I just wanted to let you know that some of us do understand your frustration and what you are going thru
hugs to you and Riley

You are all very talented wish I could find the time to sew again.

Linette. I totally don't understand the double standard for men and women in medical situations.

My husband went to the doctor for stomach pain and they immediately ordered a whole battery of tests. But, I went to the doctor for stomach pain and they told me to take some Tums. Turned out he just had a stomach ache and I had a blood clot. Grrr.... I could go on an on about this. But, I just wanted to let you know that I do understand how frustrating it is to not be listened to by doctors. I'm always told I'll be "just fine". It's 2 years later and I'm still having a lot of pain. I wouldn't call that "just fine". I know my problems don't compare to many of you, but I still understand your frustration!

LisaZoe: I consider CASEing to be a compliment! So, don't hesitate on my account! Just don't make yours so absolutely fabulous that it puts mine to shame!

OMG Linette! You have been through so much! I sure hope youa re feeling better.

I realize I am new here still but as I was reading this I realized maybe we were all brought together to this thread not only because we share a love of sewing. It seems that most of us have some health issues or a very close family member with health issues. We all seem to be able to find other common bonds other then sewing and are able to help and hopefully lift spirits of others not only on this thread but else where( The big Give). I know receiving the support and hugs from you guys with everything going on with Rocky has been helpful. I know my heart bleeds hearing that so many of you have health issues or your little ones have them. I sure hope al of us can be healthy!

I wish we ALL could meet this Feb in WDW. Sadly I won't be able to but you all are simply wonderful!

[teresajoy]

Yay! I got my computer to read my memory card!!!!!

Here is an outfit I made Drew last month. She needed some comfy clothes and she loves stuff like this.

I put that little teeny tiny pink rick rack around the hem of the top and the pants too. That stuff gives me a headache it is soooooo teeny.

Denise, this is so adorable!!! I love the summery feel to it!! That little butterfly just adds the perfect touch!

And, my Tessie, goodness gracious that child is gorgeous!!! She must get it from her Aunt...

That is just sooo cute!!! Beautiful actually!!! it is the perfect Polly Pocket outfit!!! I'm thinking I might steal that whole look for the Big Give dress I'm planning on making!!! I wanted something sort of full, but not heavy, and I think you hit on the perfect solution for me!!! Yippeee!!!

Anyway... Thank you all and know that I appreciate it so much. I have been in tears many times when I read all of the lovely things that you ladies post to me.

How dare you force my niece to wear that gorgeous cloud of ruffly goodness!!! This dress is SUPER cute. I heart it!

You absolutely CANNOT leave I would cry Seriously I really do value this board and your imput here. Besides a lot of times your humor is just what I need!!!

Thanks guys for all the hugs. I have social anxieties, but unlike some people whose anxiety keeps them isolated, mine hits when I'm alone. I can be pretty ok in a group of people (especially w/ a margarita or 2) but then when we leave I think they're all talking about me or before we go I just know that I'm not wanted. BUT my DH makes me go out to all of his gigs, he doesn't like it when I stay home but I much prefer it to going out in public. I am pretty sure everyone is conspiring against me at all times. I hate to project it onto you guys, so I am sorry I mentioned my thoughts of disappearing.
Besides, I am way too excited about the MAW projects to quit cold.

PS. I'm funny??? Who knew?

I do love the "investing in America" bit...I'll have to remember that if DH ever peeks at the checkbook!!!

The best part about it is it's actually DH's philosophy and I get to use it against him!!!

You are all very talented wish I could find the time to sew again.

Glad you could join us!!! Who has time to sew? Drink lots of diet coke or coffee, stay up late, get up early and don't do the dished

[MegaWoman]

I went to buy some stuff for the big give this morning, and scored big!

All this fabric was under $5/metre, which is amazing because a) we don't have disney fabric here normally and b) it is usually around $10/m

I stopped in to the mall to get a t-shirt and TCP and Bonnie Togs had some for $2 so I grabbed a bunch to practice appliques on

Ummm - what mall??? I NEED t-shirts, and where did you find the fabric for 5$/metre????? You have to enable me!!! What part of the GTA are you in? I'm in Milton (blech!)
