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

[disneylovinfamily]

I have been wanting to post to this thread forever! I was around when the original thread was started (the first part one!) and then got busy and never actually sewed (or finished) anything. Well I finally finished this twirl skirt for my youngest dd!

I am going to sew some decorative buttons on that strip of yellow ribbon as soon as I decide which ones I definitely want to use.

I made this skirt with the original idea of having it to use this summer, but then I got to thinking it would be so cute to have some custom stuff for Disneyworld next May. You can't see, but she is wearing white bike shorts under these. If it ends up being too short next May, I can add another ruffle to add some length. It looked really short when I was holding it up, but I think it looks just the right length actually on her ... right now. But if she shoots up 2 inches by May then we're in trouble, ha ha!

Here is a Euro ruffle that I added to one of the white blocks

Here is an inset ruffle and the yellow ribbon for the buttons

Here is a row of pompons that I added as well

I posted this on several message boards because I'm really proud that I actually FINISHED something, lol. I'm notorious for starting a project and quitting half way through!

I love this. You def should be proud. I love your use of different items on the skirt.

And I finished my Stitch applique:

His claws are painted on but everything else is satin stitched (even those little teeth).

Love Stitch This is excellent!

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.

This is super cute. I love twirl patchwork skirts the best, just not making them.

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!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I have not posted much about Riley, she is in my prayers everyday. My heart bleeds for you as a mother and I hope that answers will come soon.

Between shopping and posting I have no idea where you guys find time to sew!!!

I've whipped through the last few pages and completely forgot to quote but...

TESSA'S DRESS IS AMAZING!!!

The Big Give outfits are truly truly beautiful.

to everyone!

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

Ugh. This is so crazy. I had to have my gall bladder removed when I was 13 weeks pregnant with my DS. After the surgery I was in AGONIZING pain. The doctors told me after THREE ER visits, that is was CONSTIPATION. ?! WHAT?! Are you kidding me? My pain was through the roof. The pain from gall stones and child birth were nothing compared to what I was feeling and they thought it was constipation. THREE times they gave me stronger and stronger measures to fix the problem. FINALLY, they decided to do a test that determined and fixed my BILE LEAK!!! Which is when bile is literally leaking out into your system.

I recently had to go to the ER again, and my DH told he doc we weren't leaving until I was fine. Love that guy!

 

[Twins+2more]

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!

AMEN to that sister!

So everyone is a little puzzled by my cake fit (except my DH who strangely totally understood). And I'll admit that now it seems a little silly, I just couldn't believe that in WDW there was no way to get a cinderella cake for my DD! I also didn't think there was a snowballs chance in FLORIDA that they would actually offer to change my reservations. I just thought they'd relent and let me pick up the stupid chocolate cake topper from the GF bakery and take it to WCC w/ me. But in the end I got a chocolate cake w/ chocolate mousse filling and chocolate icing and a Cinderella and a red power ranger (for my nephew) cake toppers.

When we went for my dd's 3rd birthday we had dinner with Cinderella at Park Fare. I asked them if I could have Cinderella bring out the cake. Of course, they said no. Can't blame an obessive mom for trying. Anyway, we were able to watch for Cinderella to approach our table and then we requested that the cake come at the same time. It was great. Cinderella led everyone in singing HAppy Birthday and then she helped LilliAnna blow out her candles. This was five years ago but it is worth a try. Everyone is amazed that we have a video of Cinderella singing and blowing out the candles. I also bought a pair of the plastic "glass" slippers for her to wear. Prince Charming kneeled down at our table and held the slipper to her foot. Needless to say...I cried.

Here's another version of the button shirt. I made this skirt for Riley's best friend when they went to DW in May. I decided to go ahead and start the girls shirts for January. Of courst the buttons are just glued on with elmers right now. I think maybe half of Riley's are sewn on. I am thinking of making some black cargo pants with minnie dot pockets to go with these for January.

This thread moves so fast! I love all the new things that have been posted today - they're so cute!!

Better learn to keep up Trixie.

I wish I was half as clever as you...I wonder if you put s few white buttons in the bows if it would look like you missed some or if it would look like dots???

Here is a row of pompons that I added as well

I have yards and yards of that pom pom trim that I bought a while ago. I think I was planning on using it on a roundneck dress, but I'm not even sure. I am totally going to use just little bits of it in a patchwork like you did! How super cute!

[mrsmiller]

You will think that living in NYC you will not have any trouble finding disney fabric but I cannot find a store that sells disney fabric (if you know of any let me know)

OK My question is
I did a drawing of the outfits that I want to make for the Big Give
Belle:

I wanted to make a sundress with Belle theme
I have cotton (yellow) and tulle for the material,

tinkerbelle

cotton fabric and applique

my question is: should I use the cotton material or use fabric heavier (taffeta or satin)? My concern with the satin and taffeta is the heat

what do you think?

I've had this done for about a week now, but wanted to wait until the launch before I posted it. DS LOVES it!! Mickey is his favorite right now!

I love this! It works wonderfully as a brother sister set

The button Mickey head is so creative, I may have to borrow the idea!

Yeah, but if I wait 3 mos. I get to claim the idea as my own, right?

 

[longaberger_lara]

Well, I've finally got 10 posts under my belt, so here's what I've done the past couple of weeks.
Nate's Buzz shirt (he matches Sawyer!) Excuse the mean face - he had just gotten up from his nap!

Wall-E shirt

Disneyfied bag

OT - my husband was cutting hay a couple weeks ago and scared up this little guy - he was still so young that he was wobbly legged when we let him go!

Hello ladies!
I'm posting today because I have a few things to share. These are the autograph books that I made for the MAW Big Give #2. I haven't scrapped in ages. These were fun projects.

And here are the outfits that I made the kids for the 4th of July.

Both of them

Love your autograph books!! The kids are going to be thrilled. Great 4th outfits!

This is really wonderful. Going to do another?

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

.

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.

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'm going to have to remember this PP shirt! Love the dress also!

I've had this done for about a week now, but wanted to wait until the launch before I posted it. DS LOVES it!! Mickey is his favorite right now!

This is just what I was thinking of for an matchy outfit I want to do for our trip. I'm just scared!

I would us the cotton since it will be so hot when they go. You've inspired me and I am going pattern-less for my big give outfit, I just hope my outfit turns out half as well as your outfits do.

I love that bowling shirt! That turned out so cute!!!

Yikes!! Leaking bile! It's just frustrating when you tell them how much pain you're in and they act like you're over-reacting, isn't it?

Oh my gosh, I would have cried too! How magical!

What-EVER!!!

Linnette

I don't think I'd use satin in the heat. I think that the one's people have done in coton are really cute. If what you have is too thin, maybe some calico that is a print, but all green or all yellow. Those always turn out super adorable!

Thanks for your post earlier. It really does help to know that I am not alone and I am not crazy!
