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

[Stephres]

Megan's hair is cute short. Jenna's hair is about that same length. She got it cut when she went with my grandma.

I knew Jenna and Megan would make great friends! I think they both look fabulous with their shorter haircuts!

I LOVE Megan's hair! that style is darling on her. My Megan has a pink beta too. Her name is Pinky, very original, huh? LOL!

I made Megan one pair of the patchwork shorts and I think it was all the topstitching that did me in. I love the look, though.

On they way home Megan told me that she already had two stuffed animals named Pinky so she supposed she would have to think of a new name!

I love the look too. I was thinking it would be cute to make Megan and me matching ones, but the thought of sewing more squares made me

That style is so cute on her! Is she enjoying the feel of it swaying on her shoulders? I remember how after a hair cut I'd walk with more of a swing to my step so I could feel my hair move.

She loves it! She keeps flouncing it around!

She looks absolutely adorable with that haircut!!! I love it!! She just looks too cute! Very pretty fish! Why is the bamboo stick there? Does it help aerate the tank or something? We had our Betta in little 2.5 gallon tank with a filter and a heater and stuff. So, I've never seen the bamboo.
Tessa LOVED her betta!
RIP Favorite

Aww, poor Favorite. The lady at Petsmart told me that the bamboo helps the fish get oxygen from the water. I think it would have looked better in a tall skinnier bowl. Maybe I should get a couple more so it looks like they are in there on purpose!

i was crusing the interwebs and saw this website, i don't know if it's in the bookmarks or not, but when i saw it i immediately thought of the disboutiquers, hahah, so i thought i'd post it.
burdastyle.com/
kinda like YCMT, but not, lol.

I haven't seen that site: thank you!

Love the hair cut-so cute!

Thanks!

Megan looks even more like a Mini-Steph with her new haircut!! So darling! She sure is growing up!!

hmmm...short of cutting the bamboo off to fit the bowl and/or taking it out, I'm not sure what else you could do with it...it's kind of artsy looking though!!

I had a roommate in college that had beta fish. She kept them in these impossibly tiny plastic square things. I think they got depressed b/c their fins fell off...it was ick...then they died. Poor betas...

I'm sure that Sunny will live a MUCH better life!!!

ps-I LOVE that top Megan is wearing!!! So incredibly darling!!!

She doesn't look more grown up: she just looks cuter (can you tell I am in denial). I about had a fit when she tried to explain to me she didn't need the stepstool in the bathroom anymore. She can reach to brush her teeth on her own!

Sunny seems very happy. Whenever anyone comes in to the room he swims right up to them. My dad said he's begging for food, but I prefer to think that he is friendly!

That was the first top I made to go with the disney store pettiskirt, but it didn't match. It happens to match some shorts she has, so I didn't have to chuck it!

Megan looks so cute with her haircut!

I just got back from an IN PERSONBig Give drop off! I got to meet Bigdisgrandma, Bigdismom, and the family. Those 3 kids are adorable! I have pictures, but my camera battery has to charge up before I can get them off so I'll post them later tonight!

Thank you!

Just looked at the pictures from the big give drop off! It looks like the kids had fun at the minnie outfit is just perfect!

They have some nerve continuing to grow like that! You did a great job on the hat: it looks great!

Megan looks so cute with her new haircut. I think it makes her look older, too.

Nooooooooo! Thanks!

I am thinking I need to make some more doll clothes. That looks so cute! I love the ribbon belt.

So cute! Looks perfect for Sea World: you did a great job.

Wow, that is awesome! I too love the red swirly fabric and the ruffles going down the back are perfect! Really great appliqué: can't wait to see it on.

How are the undies coming?

definitely. i think it is perfect for an 11 year old. i just went shopping with my nieces 11 and 13 for our disney trip and they each got quite a few patchwork shorts. and okay i got myself at patchwork skort for the trip

Good for you: I was thinking I need patchwork shorts myself!

I remember when hats with the brim rolled up in front were THE thing...very Blossom...oh my gosh does anyone remember that show?! I was sooo little when it was on but I remember Blossom's hats and her overall shorts!

Man, you are just a babe aren't you?

My sister is taking Drew for the week. (It's her turn! I had her dd7 for a week a couple back and she owes me!!!!!) So we are going to meet them at the lake to make the drop off. Riley and I decided to stay for a few days while the cabin is empty and have some peace and quiet time. We are going to read, and float in the lake and maybe take the seadoos out for some rides! We are also going to do some back to school shopping at the outlet mall and maybe go to the waterslides one day. I am really looking forward to it. I haven't been able to let Riley get in the lake water this summer because it is just not a good mix with all of her infections, but she recently went on daily antibiotics that I am hoping will protect her from all of those nasty germs.

I hope you and Riley have a great time!

My mom is finishing her first (and she says most likely last) quilt. I guess you need a boatload of patience. Yours looks great and it is nice and colorful!

I love that Debbie Mumm fabric: I bought some for Megan too. Devon looks so cute doing the Megan and of course the tiara goes perfectly with it. I can't believe school is just around the corner!

 

[HeatherSue]

WOW!!! Those are some fantastic pictures, Benita! You have such a beautiful family!

That is SO cute! I love the pom pom trim at the hem!

I am VERY impressed! That is a very complicated design! It's especially hard to do small designs like that. So, GREAT job!! Your little guy is just SO cute, too!

This is hysterical. I need to share what one of the assistant managers said today. We have a stand where they sell roasted nuts in the mall. Today, she said.... "I love that guys nuts..." Yeah, um perhaps not worded right!

Oh my gosh, that's so funny!

That really completes the outfit. I'm glad you decided to put it on there!

I am finally home from 4 hours of back to school shopping. I have been to 5 different stores and still don't have everything that is on Jenna's school list. My question is why does Wal-Mart not stock enough construction paper? Every year it's the same thing No construction paper at Wal-Mart. You would think that after not having enough the last three years they would think and order more than normal. Ok Rant over. How is everybody else's back to school shopping going?

I guess I'm done with Tessa's school shopping. The only thing they said she'd need is a backpack and a name tag. I'm wondering if they'll be sending another supplies list. I just hope they don't wait until school starts and then give us a list. I want to get in on the good sales if I need to!

I got her 2 backpacks (Hannah Montana and Hello Kitty) for $1.30/each!!! Meijer was running a sale for 40% off backpacks. Plus, if you spent $10 in Kellogs, Keebler, and Eggo products, you got another $10 off. The Kellogg's products were on sale, too. So, I got great deals all around! I guess I should have mentioned this when the sale was still going huh?

Please help me. I am begging you. I made a long skirt tonight out of eyelet (for me). I am trying to make flowy etc. Here is what I did. I doubled the length around me. I sewed the lining to the eyelet. I folded over the top of the eyelet w/lining and sewed it to make a pocket for the elastic. I seamed up the back to connect the skirt. I put the elastic in and tried it on. Here is my reaction.!

Is there any way you could make it more of an a-line style. There are some good tutuorials in the boomarks for that style. They tend to be more flattering than something that gathers at the waist.

the headaches are caused by not wearing a hat (something about the sun beating into her head!). Is there any truth to this? Cuz if it will work...I'm going to try it. Hate to keep pumping my kid full of meds.

I get headaches from the sun if I don't wear sunglasses (from squinting), so I would think there is some truth in that!

The party was great and we even surprised them!! They honestly had NO idea until this afternoon!! I can't believe we surprised them!! We had a great time but my feet HURT so BAD!!! And I am SO Tired!! Good Night!!

Yay! I'm glad you were able to pull it off!!

I think it came out great! IMO f some one is THAT close to see any imperfections they seriously need to step away from your kid

So true!!

How cool!!! The kids look so cute with the characters. I love George's comments. He sounds so much like Henry!

I think that is one of my all-time favorite Ariel outfits!!! I LOVE IT!! Wow!!! The Cinderella dress is really cute, too.
Your daughter is GORGEOUS!!!

CATHY- YOU ARE WONDERFUL!!!!!!!

 

[Stephres]

Those are beautiful pictures! What a gorgeous family you have.

Look how cute he is! I think you did a great job on your Jack. Looks fine to me!

Perfect! I would have been afraid to rip it back open but it really looks great!

The party was great and we even surprised them!! They honestly had NO idea until this afternoon!! I can't believe we surprised them!! We had a great time but my feet HURT so BAD!!! And I am SO Tired!! Good Night!!

Glad you had a great time and they were surprised! Hope you got some rest.

Cute! I love when the kids tell people proudly, mom made it!

How sweet of Cathy! The outfits and accessories look great and your daughter looks beautiful in them. She has the most beautiful smile.

 

[LisaZoe]

Just beautiful! And your Snow White looks so pensive: not a normal look for her (I always considered her a bit of an air-head). I hope you find the buttons you are looking for.

Well, I decided to try doing tiny appliquéd apples to use for the covered buttons. Here's my test button:

I only had one button set in that size so I just did this one to try it. I'm glad it's only a test because I realized the thread ends from my knots show through the yellow fabric. I need to get some buttons today so I can make the final ones to use - and then the dress is finally done!!!

Anyway, I wanted to personally thank Cathy for her kindness and show all of you what a wonderful job her and her daughter did on these sets.

and the signature DIS pose....LOL!

Your daughter is beautiful. What a wonderful surprise from Cathy! She did a great job.

I posted a picture of this outfit, before it was done...a long time ago.. Anyway, I finally took a photo of Ireland in it today...and she wanted me to tell you all that she got her hair cut...6 inches. Ouch! I was not expectng that, when you ask for just a trim...

 

[Tinka_Belle]

Aw, it is gorgeous! Maybe after you have some time away you will forget how much of pain it is to make and think about how cute it is and realize you need to make another one (just like childbirth, right?).

You do realize Jenna is an only child right?? And I agree Jenna and Megan would be great playmates.

That turned out really cute.

Twins+2more-Chianna looks so pretty in her new outfits and she looks happy too.

 

[twob4him]

So cute! You all are making me think I need to get started on Nik's school outfit!
I am incredibly jealous of your sunflower! they are my favorite flower in the world. Kyle gave me one he planted in school fo rmothers day so we clear a nice sunny spot to plant it along with a few more becaus eI always wanted a bunch of sunflowers. Hif grew to about 2 feet and the others sprouted really good smaller but not as big as Kyle's. Then this darn squirl or some other annoying animal literally ripped it out of the ground ad broke it in half! I was so sad because Kyle was so excited to give it to me and I loved it. Yeah you can see I am still heartbroken about my little sunflower... Any tips on growing them for next yr?

Awwww so sorry about your sunflower and that darn squirrel Actually that is a sunflower from last year....my DH planted it (I think its from Burpe) and this year it just came up! I was really lax this year and never planted anything else in the garden...now its all weeds beside the poor sunflower

Hey everyone. I wanted to share my BIG GIVE story.

Anyway, I wanted to personally thank Cathy for her kindness and show all of you what a wonderful job her and her daughter did on these sets. My daughters favorite is the Ariel set. But I am especially fond of the Cinderella set, because you see, Chianna has fine motor delays that don[t allow her to do the finer things with her fingers (such as buttoning) but with these cool (perfectly colored for cinderella) buttons Chianna can button her own dress. What an accomplishment!

Chianna Striking a pose

I don't know why but she thought models have their hands out (too much americas top model i guess)

had to try to get a photo of the twirll

and the signature DIS pose....LOL!

Here is her ariel bottlecap necklace

This is her Cinderella outfit

Had to strike another of her favorite poses

ANOTHER bottlecap necklace - How lucky are we!

And I wanted you to see the back.

Yaaaaa!!!! Chianna looks just beautiful in her new outfits!!!! You are all so very welcome and it was such fun to make!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its so cool to see her in the necklaces too and I am glad she can button it all by herself!!! I hope she enjoys them on your trip to Disney!

I love it! Such soft colors in the skirt too! Is that your Disney skirt underneath? I bought two for the girls and they've only worn them once to church. I really need to make a top to go with it.
I am getting the girls haircut tomorrow. I am afraid to get DD3's cut for that exact reason....they might cut off all of her baby curls. I keep putting it off and now her hair is practically down to her behind. Its so hard to keep up with. It gets knots easily etc. I laughed during Teresa's trip report when she mentioned giving Lydia a 10 minute warning before brushing her hair. I have to do the same thing! So do you like Ireland hair this length? Is it easier? It still looks very long and pretty!

I do like the length, but it makes her look too grown up. It's a mess in the photos, but when it's "done" it's really pretty...

I decided that the girls will be a bride and groom for Halloween. They don't go trick-or-treating, but will be going to MNNSHP. After seeing a photo on eeek bay, the girls wanted to be corpse brides...eeeek What happened to my sweet little girls. Well anyway in the photo was a boy and girl. One was the bride and the other the groom, it was really cute. So the girls are fighting over who will wear the dress. I wound up buying the tux...it looked too hard to make, with the bow tie, and all...
The only difference is, on Halloween, Ireland will have grey skin, hair, and carry a grey bouquet....

The dress is made from grey satin, tulle and silver lame'. I decided to shirr a panel in the back instead of putting in a zipper. I don't do zippers...
The skirt part, is a seperate skirt and made of three layers of satin, with tulle strips. I tacked the skirt to the top, but it does have an elastic waist and can be 2 pieces if need be. Just the weight of the skirt was a bit much...and was not staying up well on it's own. Ireland loves it and was trying hard to be scary...she did wind up scaring the dog...LOL

 

[Stephres]

Only you would do little tiny appliquéd apples! Too bad they are just so adorable: now you have to make another one! Seriously, they look perfect to me.

Oh wow, that is gorgeous. Is that the disney store petti underneath? It looks great! And Ireland looks great with her new short do (looks pretty long to me)!

You do realize Jenna is an only child right?? And I agree Jenna and Megan would be great playmates.

Um, I didn't think of that. I just was typing and realized it sounded like I was talking about childbirth. I guess that is your first and last patchwork skirt!

How fun! It's tough when our little girls decide they want to scary and not pretty for Halloween. Zoe did that one year when she was a witch but luckily she was back to pretty costumes the next.

I love your idea of doing the shirred panel in back. I don't like doing zippers either so I've tried buttons and lacing. Shirring would be so much better, though. Zoe loves to dress up all year so her costumes usually get lots of use. Unfortunately, she's outgrown some too quickly because I made them fairly fitted. I think I'll try a shirred panel this year.

Okay seriously...this make up job is so well done that I thought Ireland was wearing a MASK. It FREAKED me out.

which appears to be the POINT!!!

wait...IS she wearing a mask?!

good job!!!

haha...no mask....just dark grey eye shadow on my good makeup brushes. The lips,eyes and forehead I did with a q-tip. LOL, it took all of 3 seconds...

Hi, I've been lurking for ever and posting under my DD's name GoofyG.

I'm finally on here, yeah!

My DD and her kids and my DH and I go to Disney World together. My DD comes up with the ideas for the clothes, and I get the privilege of sewing for her 3 kiddos!

 

[SallyfromDE]

I love the apple button. I never would have noticed the threads if you hadn't pointed it out. As it is, I still had to squint. I think they look fine.

The dress looks great. I never would have thought to do the shirring on the back. That is a great idea, especially if you plan on using the dress more then once or as play clothes. Her makeup looks great. I thought it was an old woman!

Thanks! I was pleased with how this one came out. It was actually pretty quick to do so I don't mind doing it over to hide the thread. I love adding the little details like this so I'll probably add similar appliquéd buttons on sets in the future. I was thinking how cute it would be to have a "glass" slipper for Cinderella, a rose for Belle or Aurora, etc. Too bad I don't "do" bows or I could make buttons to use for the centers.

 

[SallyfromDE]

I came across this dress someone made on YahooGroups for the FarbenMix patterns. I thought it was adorable with the Ariel fabric. Since it's been "cased" alot lately I thought someone else might like to see it. I did crop the head out so no one could see the child.

 

[Stephres]

I loved the shirred panel: genius! That is some scary make up!
