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

[Natalie_89]

OK everyone- here's what I have been working on the past few days.

By way of explanation- I teach the 7-8 year old kids at church. In our church when kids turn 8 they are baptized. So, I thought it might be nice to make one of those books for each child when they are Baptized so that can remember their Baptism. I took pictures of each page so you can see what the inside looks like. They are incomplete for now.- The kids will fill in with photos, their thoughts, talks from their Baptism etc. This book is for a girl. When I do the boys I think I'll do it in primary colors and not make it so foo-foo-y. Do you think this is something a boy would even want??? What about the girls? Is this age appropriate for them or is it too little girl or too big girl for them??

Just took a look at one page in particular.... I need to add something- looks too plain.

I LOVE THIS

I think they are very age appropriate and I think that at that age it will be good for both boys and girls. My son (though he is a little less the typical boy) Loves doing that stuff. A little bit less now that he is 10 but at 8 definitely. I'd love to know where you got the idea for or learned how to do those books. I can think of a million and 2 things to do with them!! I don't ever make scrapbooks but this is something I would love to do to chronicle certain events. It'd be cool to do a book for my dad for his 50th b-day coming up....my aunt made my Pap a book for his 75th and it was all about headlines when he was born etc.. one of the facts was that Chocolate Chip Cookies were invented the same year he was born...HOW CRAZY IS THAT!!!! It'd be fun to do that sort of thing in one of these books.

How nice of you to make them for your students.

OK- I improved one page of the book. I think it looks a little better now. What do you think?

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

LOVE them...can you please tell me how you are doing this on the Cricut??? I want to CASE it (with your permission of course!). My BF's (the one who recently passed away) daughter is getting baptized at the end of the month and I'm the Godmother. I would looking for something meaningful to get her. This would be PERFECT. Please tell me how you are doing the letters. Aren't they chipboard???

 

[snubie]

Yipee! Yapee!!! Yahoooooooooooo-ie!!! I just made my ressie for February for our Disboutique meet!

I'll be at BWV from the 8th-11th. Where is everyone else staying??

I so want to be there. I need to convince DH before Southwest releases their next slate of fares so I can get in on any deals. Make sure you sign up on the other board.

I'm more then happy to tell you how to do this. It's not "my" design either... it's all about casing! Do you have Cricut Design Studio??? You need that to do these books.

Indeed you do need to convince DH- and FAST!!! We need you there!

just a quick question. my computer was running slow yesterday so dh did a scan and a security warning came up saying that the proboards disboutiquers was a known phishing site. i have never seen that before and don't post any of my own info, but i was wondering if we should pm the wishtrippers address and stuff to anyone who is participating. i dont know much about phishing so please if i am overlly neurotic just let me know. thanks

I don't think phisihing is something you have to worry about at the Disboutique board, I don't know why a scan would say it was a phishing site. We aren't trying to get any information out of you.

Very cute Jessica!

[quote="karebear1, post: 26780230"]Well, these pics weren't just from 1 concert, so the seating was different for each pic, but I think the furthest back I was was row 6 center and the closet I was was row 1 center, then row 3 center. I had really good seats!



Nah........ I knew he was there. I was just trying to surprise you guys! ;)[/QUOTE]
I was wondering if he changed his clothes that many times in one concert.
[quote="t-beri, post: 26780683"]Well DUH!!! you couldn't see my pics cause I moved them to another photobucket folder....here's a glimpse.

...t.

She's so cute Tifani! And, I am so sorry about your leg!!! That stinks! You have had one tough summer!

Yipee! Yapee!!! Yahoooooooooooo-ie!!! I just made my ressie for February for our Disboutique meet!

I'll be at BWV from the 8th-11th. Where is everyone else staying??

WOO HOO for you!!! I wish I could go!

you guys talk way too much! lol I went on a mini vacation for 4 days, and had over 20 pages to catch up on! I skimmed through them and I love all the new creations, they are all beautiful. Especially Tom's little Mermaid outfit, I want it!

WHAT? only 20 pages in 4 days???? We were slacking!!!!

Thanks! I figured at worst case it is big and he has growing room

Here is the latest purse I made my mom. She LOVEs purses and black and white polka dots with red. I personally am a bit over it!

I really love that!

Ok, they've been done a lot, but they're just so cute I had to make one too.

Princess storybook skirt for dd4 (almost 5 )

I aksed her to twirl & I got this

Ok, so dd2's was a skirt & when I put it on her she immediately pulled up like a dress. No matter what I tried so kept pulling it up. So I added the ribbons so I could tie it on halter style. I figure I can take the ribbons off later & she can wear it as a skirt then.

Those are so cute!!!!! Too funny about your daughter pulling it up to be a dress!!!

If ya can't beat 'em join 'em!! Lily did just the opposite for a while, she would undo her jumper straps and push the top down so she was wearing a skirt-kind of. So I started making her skirts. Thankfully she is wearing her twirl tops again...I heart them.

These are wonderful!


MISS CAMMIE YOU CRACKY ME UP what?

Well guys, I am off to Orlando for the weekend. However dismal it may be w/ my entire right leg immobilized I am hoping to rest up tonight and tomorrow and take off the knee brace on sunday and use my crutches (unless I can convince dh to wheel me around) at AK. Keeping my fingers crossed for at least one day at the parks. I am planning on having dinner at the poly tonight or tomorrow and catching the fireworks from the beach See ya real soon!
Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Have a great weejebd T, and stay off that foot!

EDITED TO ADD: If you think this is not age appropriate- can you PLEASE make some suggestions as to what would be a better way to make it age appropriate? My youngest is 24- I think she would've loved it when she was 8- but time's change- ya know???

I think those are wonderful!!!! I think 8 year olds would love them. Actually, I think anyone would love them!

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

Those of you with a serger, any tips for serger around the armhole??? I was making CarlaC's peasant top, and went ahead and use the serger instead of zigzagging around the armholes...and oooops, it cut right through the body and sleeves! Also, do you serge all the raw edges after you cut out the pieces, or do you serge all the raw edges after you are finish the outfit?

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

I got out an UFO (thanks Lisa) and finished it today. It is a circle skirt I was trying to make for an 8 year old but I did the calculations for the circle with the measurement of the waist, not the waist times 1.5 so it ended up too tight for the older girl. That is the second time I have done it, so you would think I would learn. So I shortened it and gave it to Megan. I asked her if she wanted a guitar on the t, but she insisted on a M. Or she said I could do a G (for her middle name) if I wanted.

Megan says this is the proper Megan:

Twirling:

Too many Megans!

I love that skirt. Are the directions in the bookmarks?

 

[karebear1]

I don't personally have it (haven't made the leap yet!!!) BUT I have access to it!!!

OK- I'll send the instructions to you in a pm. They're pretty easy to understand- but if you have questions, just let me know- I'll do what I cna to help!

WOO HOO for you!!! I wish I could go!


I think those are wonderful!!!! I think 8 year olds would love them. Actually, I think anyone would love them!

I wish you could be there as well! Don't you think you could just pop in and out for us? It would be so much FUNNER if you were there too!

AND....... Barry does change his outfits that many timers in one show- even though those pics are from different shows. It's usually just a jacket change- but there are lots of them!

My Dh fishes a lot...like every night...but I don't.... (I am just kidding!)

Well DUH!!! you couldn't see my pics cause I moved them to another photobucket folder....here's a glimpse.

and again....I thought this was too funny, I asked her to "pose" and got this

I will not be sewing her a very cute pair of pants to go with it for saturday though b/c I now have a splint on my ankle and an immobilizing brace on my knee. I apparently sprained my ankle and most likely have some soft tissue damage to my knee. They also gave me a shot of toradol for my hip. They gave me some drugs but I probably won't take them and told me to
STAY OFF OF MY FEET... The swelling seems to have gone down since my ankle was immobilized and I absolutely cannot use it. I tried to argue that at work I sit all day and he said no go, I need to be RESTING w/ my ankle and knee elevated.
So I'm back on crutches.
My mom is out of town so I am camping out on the office couch w/ the phone. I had to do a little work on the schedule so I thought I would check in w/ you all before I went back to the couch.

HOPE everyone is doing well.
...t.

T - Glad you went to the doctor...do you think you could rent one of the things at AK....you know the golfcart thingy....the name is escaping me...perhaps with a doctors note. That way you wouldn't have to walk much at all.
BTW, I love the Strawberry shortcake top and your dd is too cute!

Yipee! Yapee!!! Yahoooooooooooo-ie!!! I just made my ressie for February for our Disboutique meet!

I'll be at BWV from the 8th-11th. Where is everyone else staying??

Yaaaaaa!!!!! I am still in the most probably going category. I will probably stay at POP! My friend who is coming with me is getting on an airplane right about now for Disney She's going for a week!

OK everyone- here's what I have been working on the past few days.

Wow the are really cute! I am sure they will love them.

I grew up in East Grinstead!!!
And me!! Hope is on an enforced Disney channel fest at the minute in preparation for our trip!! The Bunnytown hop and Hot Dot dance are compulsory join-ins in our house!!!

So true !!!! i love to hear Mayson laugh at Bunnytown he loves it when the bunny hops in the hole..

OK, now i want to be a part of your ward What a special thing you are doing something they will remember always .. so cute I want to know also how you did it.... i have my 9 yr old who is not baptised yet and 3 more down the road if they decide they want to....

OK- I improved one page of the book. I think it looks a little better now. What do you think?

wow just amazing......

 

[karrierock]

Hey! Nice to see you posting again!!! And, congratulations on the new baby!!!! How exciting! I remember your daughter, she was the one who ate teh Mickey Bar without getting ANY on herself!!! Very impressive!

Wow what a great memory you have! I wish I could remember anything for more than 10 minutes, too sleep deprived! I fell asleep on the floor stuffing goody bags last night! Tonight I'll be up late sewing.

 

[BrookeTx]

Hi everyone!

I am a buyer of customs for Disney and love the gal who makes my daughter's outfits!

I am needing some ideas for Epcot outfits!
For Magic Kingdom, my 6 year old will do giselle, but not sure about my 3 1/2 year old! I was thinking something other than princess!

Any ideas?

 

[karrierock]

OK, here are pics of my (mostly) clean craftin' area!
You'll have to excuse the mess o' wires - the outlets in this room are in very inconvenient places!

Now if I could just keep it this clean! It seems like whenever I make something, I make a huge old mess!

I'm so jealous! I can't even get into my craft space right now. When we were finishing the baby's nursery, it was the only place we could "dump" what was in my husbands office. All my sewing stuff wound up in the hall closet. Someday I'll get it as neat as yours again!

 

[minnie2]

I have this tutorial saved. It looks like it might work

thanks! I will check it out. Is it also in the book marks? After i teased her about her fanny pack remoark to me since she knows how I feel about them I did tell her because i love her I would make her a Mickey one but she said she had a Disney fanny pack so I thin I might make her a change purse and a sunglass case to match

T

When I did mine I did the size he measured (5/6) but added two inches to the length. I really could have stood to make it the next size up because the boys like their shirts roomy. If your son is tall I would def. add some length to it. I can measure the 5/6 across if you'd like.

I think I might hold the pattern pieces up to him or just make the bigger size he can always grow into it and then I will know for sure next time. Thank you for the offer though!

Ok, they've been done a lot, but they're just so cute I had to make one too.

Princess storybook skirt for dd4 (almost 5 )

Mickey one for dd2.

I aksed her to twirl & I got this

Ok, so dd2's was a skirt & when I put it on her she immediately pulled up like a dress. No matter what I tried so kept pulling it up. So I added the ribbons so I could tie it on halter style. I figure I can take the ribbons off later & she can wear it as a skirt then.

So cute! I almost got this nemo story book that was onsale but both of my kids vetoed it

I love it what a wonderful gift to give those kids! I like the idea of making the boys different from the girls. I think any kid would love it and frankly even if they didn't right now at 8 when they were older they will love it to look back on. My mil made photo books for each of her kids and gave it to them when they graduated and they all love them. Nothing fancy a very primitive scarp book.

I have to share I am so excited! My girlfriend offered to watch y dog when we are in WDW! I have never kenneled my dogs they have either come with us or I have had a pet sitter. Since we got Daisy she has just come on vacation with us. Well in WDW that can't happen. So my friend said as long as she gets along with her dog she will take her for the week! Well they were instantly best buddies! Daisy is the big dog and her is a tiny Maltese but they adored each other! The only thing she asked was one night to watch her kids and I told he rI would have done that even if she didn't offer to watch my puppy!

The other fun part is she wants to learn how to sew from me So next week we are going to head to the fabric store and get some fabric so we can make the girls matching skirts.

I think as a thank you when it is over I might make the girls matching outfit or something and of course bring them back something from WDW!

I am so excited that was my biggest stress point leaving my dog! I know pathetic but I am a bit freaky with my dog

I also just found out her nephew is going to WDW on a MAW trip next week. I wish I would have known... oh well I am just happy he is feeling better.

ABOUT THE DISBOUTIQUER BOARD AND PHISHING -
Is it possible that it shows as a phishing site because I have the ability to mass email from that group? I have sent a mass email and posted a link back to the site. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?


THOSE WITH ADOPTED CHILDREN! HELP!
I went yesterday to register AbbyGrace for school. I took her original birth certificate from China. I also took her adoption certificate. The school didn't want a copy of her adoption certificate, so they only took a copy of the birth certificate. Today I get a call from the school asking if I knew if I had to have a TEXAS birth certificate to register her in school. Well, NO, I've never been told that. It doesn't sound right to me. My SW NEVER said that this was the case, and what about all of the children that weren't born in Texas - they aren't allowed to go to school here? What about all of the children from Mexico that live in this state? Does this sound right? Any suggestions on what I need to do? We've not gone through the process of re-adoption because we were told that it wasn't legally necessary, it would just be a convenience. Any thoughts?

Didn't you get a brand new birth cert that listed you as the parent?? However, she was BORN in China so the school should have been happy with that. If she was born in another state and adopted by you, you wouldn't have been asked for a birth cert for YOUR state. I don't know why the country would matter.
