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

[jham]

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?

I'm sure it was just an oversight, who doesn't need a little pixie dust? I'll go look into it now.

BIG GIVE PIXIE DUST!

I've thought that we would leave the pixie dust open to anyone at any time. I did't put it on the list because I think that any amount of pixie dust is great! I may not have communicated that very well.

SO, please, anyone, everyone, SEND PIXIE DUST! But I'm not concerned about adding a sign up line because I don't think that we need to be concerned with sending too much or not enough. Does that make sense?

Perfect sense

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

TOUCHE! (okay, pretend that the lightsaber is a sword )

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

It's about time Lara!!! WOW your applique is amazing and I love that buzz fabric. PS. we do not apologize for sleepy faced babies...they are adorable!

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

Definitely go w/ the cotton. I always like the more casual princess stuff. I have had this idea of doing a cinderella type skirt w/ satin and tulle netting underneath and all and attatching it to the top of a pair of jean overalls...just the kinda twisted I am You stuff's always cute anyway. Thanks for sharing your story w/ us Linette, it must not be easy to go through.

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 yucky...you have a good while before your shipdate so definitely stay away from the iron until it's safe...although I heard somewhere that a hot glue burn could get you a trip to WDW this FEB...imagine what you could get if your burned yourself on your iron. Feel better soon, sugar

Ok you ladies need to slow down because I am having a wild week lol. I can't keep up!

I need opinions. I am redoing the nursery. It needs to be unisex but I cannot find anything I REALLY like. So I came up with this. I have a bunch of Sock Monkey fabric that I bought and have been waiting for something that I REALLY wanted to do with it. I am thinking of using it. I can add more colors in probably yellow and orange to make it less blue. So do you think these prints would be unisex enough for a nursery? I think I am going to do a patchwork quilt. I just wish I could figure out something for the mobile.

Just fat quarters of this

not a lot maybe a few yards of this.

Good evening! I posted on the last thread (at least I think it was the last thread, you all move along fast, so it might have been two thread ago ). I posted some pics on that thread of the Jedi Robe I made for my son, it was my first sewing project --- and I thought my last, but you all inspired me to try making something for my daughter. I just finished making her a dress. I've learned quite a few things, the first being the fact that I can't sew in a straight line to save my life! Anyway, here are a few pictures of the dress I made. I only have one of my daughter modeling it because she was being a little stinker!

[Tnkrbelle565]

WOW! That's your first dress? I'm impressed

Me/ they creep me out.

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!

No, I only sell my own patterns but here is a link for some of Nancy's patterns

Tuolumne is about half way down.

I think they're unisex, especially the first two prints!

WOW!! That is SO cute, and so is your DD!! I'm so glad you decided to try sewing again. You're obviously a natural!!

yes!!! Who doesn't love Sock Monkey???

Perhaps you didn't see the ongoing discussion a while back about how Teresa and I are skerred of sock monkeys. T is too!

Clearly I did miss that convo? You're scared of Sock Monkey (I'm really so tempted to mail you DD's and have it jump out of the box...ya, I'm evil like that!). Did you see Mr Magorium? If you haven't...you may want to skip it...Sock Monkey makes a couple of appearances.

That's a perfect unisex fabric. There is even a mobile that matches it but I can't remember who makes it. I bet if you Google sock monkey mobile you can find it. I think it was in browns and creams but I could be wrong. Good luck.

They are super easy, all you have to do is add a seam allowance. Nancy and Sabine both make great patterns.

I really like the 1st one.... My son is a Monkey freak!

Love the fabric! It is so cute just like your little girl!

OK. CINDY dress not working out as planned, really you guys shouldn't let me think up my own stuff!! The thread keeps breaking and I clearly can't even applique a SQUARE. But I was already having fits b/c the book was not printed straight and that's why I was appliqueing the squares to beging w/ b/c I could not get a 1/4" seam on some pages w/out interfering w/ the picture. GRRR..So I decided to buy a new book tomorrow, hope it's printed straighter and sew it together like everyone else. OR just do something totally different. Maybe just a blue skirt w/ a white underlayer (like Cindy) and a blue peasant top w/ cindy on it. Of course I clearly cannot APPLIQUE her on. This is why I don't try new stuff. Why would I try something new 3 days before I leave for WDW...

This is the kind of neurotic freak that I am.

For now I am going to get to my minnie dot outfit and take a break. OF course I had a frakenpattern lined up for that and now am rethinking EVER altering anything ever again. I'm probably over reacting. I really altered the pattern for little's minnie pants and shirt and that was cute. BUT right now I just dont' think it's safe to meddle w/ the unknown. I have to finish SOMETHING tonight. and it's 9:00.
Gotta go figure it out.

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

Oh my goodness!!! you have been through alot. I know how you feel though about doctors not listening to a woman. My official doctor blew off everything that I told him I was experiencing. I saw the Nurse Practioner in the same office about a 2 weeks later and she was so concerned about everything that he blew off. She wrote two prescriptions and I haven't felt this good in a long time. Anyways I hope that you get to feeling better.

I love all of the outfits that were posted today. Great job ladies.
