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

[longaberger_lara]

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?

Linnette

I would use the cotton like you said. They will both be adorable, but I can't wait to see the tink outfit!

 

[karebear1]

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!

What a sweet thing to say and what a giving attitude! No wonder why I love it here so much.

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.

Those shirts are great!

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!

Your son is adorable. So is that little deer.

 

[HeatherSue]

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?

Linnette

I like the idea of using nice cool cotton! These are going to be adorable!!

First of all, LOVE the Buzz shirt! I like how you made covered buttons for it! The Wall E shirt is REALLY good, too! The applique is fabulous!
I love what you did with the bag!

That deer is SOOO cute! Your husband's not too bad, either. Tessa is ooh-ing and aw-ing over the baby deer. She wants to know all about it- where you found it, where was it's mommy, etc... She also wants to know why you have Sawyer's shirt!

 

[DesigningMouse]

Dallas' Wall E outfit! I made the pants about 2 weeks ago and had everything for the shirt, but was putting it off, so I finished it up last night!

Oh, you ask why the word Wall E is crooked! I have no idea besides it was midnight! I swear I made sure it was straight! because I knew it would ruin the whole shirt if it wasn't!!! Dallas doesn't even notice it though.

AWESOME!!

Hi, I finally made it over. I was very depressed yesterday (thanks for the birthday wishes) because the ent (ear, nose and throat) doctor I was supposed to see postponed the appointment to next week because she is stuck in the airport in Atlanta. The new appointment is next week. Fortunately, my husband is smarter than I am and told me to call back and find out if another doctor in the practice could see me sooner, so I am going in Friday. I know my problems pale in comparison to Riley's and others, but I have had earaches and sinus headaches since the end of May so I was really hoping that yesterday would be the day I would get help for them. I can wait until Friday though.

Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Hello ladies! Sorry to be such a stranger around here, but I always seem to end up in "catch-up"/window shopper mode rather than having time to post. You ladies amaze me as always with your creativity and productivity.

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.

Megan

Megan helping Wyatt smile

Both of them

Those books are just too cute!!

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.

That tshirt is amazing!! Very cute dress. The bottom reminds me of my group mate Nancy's Tuolumne pattern.

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!

Very cute.

You might consider trying Kona cotton. It has a high thread count so it feels great and is a bit more hearty than broadcloths but it's still cool and comfy to wear.

I am making the family t's for BigDisGrandma Big Give and have run into a little snag!

I've bought the shirts and washed them. I've gotten transfer paper, added names to the design and made the transfers. I will iron them on tomorrow or the next day. I am taking benedryl right now and don't trust myself to iron.

I am trying to wean myself (with doctor's help) off cortisone and my immune system decided to have an allergic reaction to something I ate. I haven't had anything I know I'm allergic to, so in a few weeks, I get to get some more allergy tests! The doctor gave me a shot and said to take benedryl until it goes away--I call my new look the Tammy Fae Baker look--big lips! The swelling in the roof of my mouth has gone way down--thank goodness. I can only eat "safe"--read bland--foods until it is gone.

That is really scary! Drew has horrible allergic reactions to outdoor things. Big bites swell up like crazy and she has fallen and scratched herself and her whole leg swells up. I am always worried that she is going to have a serious reaction, but so far Benadryl has always worked almost instantly.

I am really glad that we don't deal with food allergies. I feel so sorry for you guys who have to watch what you eat so closely. You never really know what is in food that you haven't made all by yourself!

 

[Twins+2more]

Linnette, I hope your feeling better. Im sorry to hear what you have been going thru.

But any hoo, I agree to leave the satin alone in the heat. I love the sketches you have done. Can't wait to see the outfits. LOVE LOVE the Belle. Shoot, Love the tink also. I can see where the material on the tink is a bit sheer. If you have something heavier you may want to use it. Im sure they will look great after your done.

 

[Twins+2more]

Piper, that sounds miserable. I can only imagine how you feel. I say drink water, get rest. (dosen't that help everything? ! ? )

 

[SallyfromDE]

Well, I got my MAW2 family shirts in the mail. I was a little disappointed in them. But they are okay. On the sleeve, I put this logo. I've no idea who designed it, but someone had posted it on the WindowCling thread.

Linnette

Love your drawings! I thought I'd give you another vote for cotton. I think satin or taffeta would be hot. I'm sure whatever you do will be great!

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

Y'all are BAD! REALLY, REALLY BAD! hehehe!

I really love both outfits!

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.

awww! Makes me want to have my birthday dinner at 1900 park fare!

OH MY! Growing up I had huge issues with hives no one could figiure out why I got them but they were awful I still get them. I remember one of the worst reactions was when I was in HS and my lips swelled up I looked like Steven Tyler with major botox! Not a pretty look and I remember HAVING to go to school! talk about no fun!
I lived on Benadryl in the 2nd grade my mom says she swears I slept through the 2nd grade.

Feel Better! Have you tried Ctarinex or Claritian? With my son I find both of them to be better then benadryl...


OMG Cindy singing Happy Bday! Seriously cool!

I know I missed a few sorry!

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.

Denise, do you mind if I borrow from your idea to make a skirt for DD10 for our Feb trip? She wants something with Minnie Dot and I love the way you used the black fabrics and the ruffle. It makes it look a little more "big girl" I love it!

 

[jham]

Thanks T! Yes, I am coordinating this one. (Bigdisgrandma, if you are lurking out there--shoo!) I'm excited because they don't live too far from me! So any questions you have you can direct to me. We still need passports and autograph books (for 3 kids) and as Tifani mentioned, some outfits for an almost 11 year old boy. He likes long shorts, Goofy and the color red. Linnette is making him a pair of shorts, but we'd love to have some tee shirts or something as well and maybe some more shorts if anyone has the time. Thanks!

That is one of the sweetest things I have heard! I cannot imagine the look on dd4's face (well, I can come close let's just say she would be in heaven!). What a cool birthday!

Hi Big Give coordinators...I have a question. I noticed that the "Pixie Dust" section was missing on the newest Big Gives for us ladies who aren't confident to sew for others. Is that an oversight or are we not doing it?

 

[HeatherSue]

That tshirt is amazing!! Very cute dress. The bottom reminds me of my group mate Nancy's Tuolumne pattern.

Thank you! I saw a picture of the farbenmix Insa pattern and I got the idea for the scallops on that. Is the tuolumne pattern on your website? I can't find it on there and I'd love to see it!
