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

Yes, it's exactly like a fear of clowns! I know, because I'm afraid of them, too! :rotfl2:

:hug: I'm sorry your ex is being such a stupid poo-poo head (that's for you, Karen)! It's awful that he's putting your kids into the middle of his bad feelings/meanness!



Ah Heather- you remembered me! I totally agree with you on this. Big, BIG POO-POO, STUPID Heads!

But......

Have you seen the headlines in the paper today?

Sock Monkeys Give Disers Reason to Fear!

I don't want to scare anyone with the article, so I'll just post the pics and captions.

The super heroes of the Sock Monkeys have arrived in Chaquitaville to calm the anger of local residents as they contemplate what their next step will be.

Local teen Sock Monkey thinks Diser's are being unfair and close minded about the situation. "They not only talk about us this way, but now they're saying bad things about clowns. CLOWNS! What'd they EVER do to DISers I ask??"

Pictured below: Hurt and depressed: Sammy the Sock Monkey sits at the beach and quietly reflects on what he might have done to make people not like him. "I've never done anything to hurt a human being. I eat bananas, swing from trees and play a little sidewalk music with a wind up organ. I'm a law abiding monkey, yet..... they still feel this way? I just don't get it."

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!
th_IMG_1393.jpg

This is great Leslie! I love that it's so boutique, yet also so boyish. I think even older boys would love it.


What a cute idea! I love the skirt too.


Woo Hoo, glad you were finally able to post your creations! I love the shirts and the bag is great too! I will have to come back and show the kids that baby deer picture. They will love it!


That dress is really cute. I still struggle to keep my lines straight, but it does get easier. Soon enough you will be just as addicted as the rest of us. ;)
 
Well ladies I had thought today I would get caught up but it looks like that i s not going to happen. Little D has a meeting this morning and after I will be driving to 2 hours to Dallas. My ex is being an *&! and that is the best way to put it. He said some horrible things to my 14 and 12 year old last night and some things that NEVER should have been said in thier presense. Among it all he used a horrible word that makes me sick to my stomach when I hear it to describe my husband. I am sick that he cussed in front of the kids the way he did but I am absolutely mortified that he used this word in particular. Everytime I think he is growing up he slaps me in the face with his immaturity and makes me remember why we are divorced. Anyway before it spirals completely out of control and one of the kids does something stupid and he does something stupider back to them I am going to get them. I guess we will be back to him not calling or talking to them for the next few months. Which is about right since they both have bdays in the next 2 weeks. Sometimes I wonder if he does not do things like this to get him "out" of buying them stuff. :sad2: If you pray say one for me that with my lack of sleep I make it safely up tere and back and that hopefully he will be gone to work or wherever when I go to pick them up. I am not so sure I can hold my tongue this time after the comment he made about hubby. :sad2:
I can't beleive that in this day and age there are people still ignorant enought to make comments like that. That word just makes me cringe when I here it. :hug: for you and your family. I hope for his sake that he is not there when you pick up your kids.
 
Finally - I am at the end of the threads so I can post again!! Yall are moving way to fast for me. I haven't had time to do anything except work for the last 6 days. I have worked (6) 12 hour shifts in a row, and I am tired!! I got some horrible news last night. I was just "let go" from my part time summer job. This job was my DISNEY money!!!! It was a nursing instructing job that lasted for 8 weeks. I have only been a nurse for 2 years - a fact that I never tried to hide. The college hired me, but they didn't know that the state of Georgia requires three years of nursing experience to teach. So now, I do not have my Disney income. I can get another job, but it takes several weeks to get hired and started in another nursing job. I am so sad. :sad2:
I will probably have to cancel my extras, like BBB, wilderness club and the pirate cruise. :eek:


I am sorry for venting - but yall are my only Disney friends that understand. Everyone else thinks I am crazy and should be locked up because I like Disney too much!!
 


It looks so cute! Megan saw it and now wants a Wall-E outfit.


What a helpful sister! Love the autograph books and the 4th outfits.


I would be proud too! What a great use of those little scraps of ribbon and trim: I love it!


That is exactly the type of outfit Megan likes too. You really made it special with the colored thread on the shirring and the butterfly, it is gorgeous!


I love it and I am sure she will too! I have such a hard time sewing buttons on. Do you have any hints that make it easier?


Wow, that peter pan shirt is amazing! What detail you put into it; I can't wait until he sees it.

Count me in with those who like it without the petti better. I love how you mimicked the scallops on the bottom on the bodice. And I would love the see a close up of the 3d bodice detail you did: it looks so neat and unique.


Cute! I love the fabrics you put with the minnie dot.


Aww, your little man is so cute when he is mad! I love the shirts, so boyish and cute at the same time. You did a terrific job on the bag and your husband and bambi are so cute!


Beautiful dress! I love the ribbon detail on the bottom.


Hey, it's Megan's favorite bird! :hug: Sorry about the ex. At least you were able to cheer Jenna up!


Wow, the detail in the skirt is amazing! So many things to look at: great job on it!

That is so sad. I hope that you can find something else.
 
I love it and I am sure she will too! I have such a hard time sewing buttons on. Do you have any hints that make it easier?

I'm still working on"perfecting" my button technique. I find it easiest to glue the buttons on and then go and sew them on. I like all of the holes in the buttons to follow the lines of the mickey head. I am looking for the best glue to use for this. It needs to be something that holds well, but I want it to wash out completely. I made the mistake of using fabric glue on the first one I made and the outline I made with the fabric pen didn't wash off underneath the glue. I am using just regular elmers glue on the girls, but it is pretty brittle and the buttons keep coming unglued. I am going to try tacky glue, but I'm not sure that will wash out. I may just have to live with the elmers.

I use heavy duty thread and just sew on 3-6 buttons at a time and then start a new string. Shay Lynne's shirt was the toughest one I've done, because I used black thread and it was hard to tell against the black top when the thread was tangled in the back and not pulled all the way through.

I just realized as I was typing this that I forgot to put the backing on Shay Lynne's shirt that keeps all of the threads from rubbing against her skin. I better put a hunk in the mail today with instructions for her mom to iron it on! I'm such a dope!

I hope you are feeling better!:flower3:
 
I can't beleive that in this day and age there are people still ignorant enought to make comments like that. That word just makes me cringe when I here it. :hug: for you and your family. I hope for his sake that he is not there when you pick up your kids.

I think being really mean must cause a person to turn ignorant!:sad2:
 
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...:confused3

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. :sad2:
Gotta go figure it out.
T-
I don't know if you ever got it fixed, but i had a lot of the same problems with the 2 storybooks I did. I ended up leaving the pages that were connected together and peiceing them together 2 at a time, does that mke sense? as for them not being straight just did the best I could to square it up and I don't notice it on. I hemmed them at the bottom and did an underskirt with the ruffle attached to that to minimize the crookedness. Also I had to just peice the page into my tops rather than applique them, I couldn't get it right appliqueing. I just sewed fabric on either side of my panel and then pinned my pattern peice to that and cut it out. it looked like the beginnings of a quilt before i cut it out, but it worked out ok in the end:

anyway mabye i helped a little and didn'yjust ramble

SO Sweet LOVE IT!


Until a few minutes ago that is what I thought lol.


Sorry. :(



Wow seriously I never would have thought!



Ouch well guessit is like me and real clowns they absolutelt oog me out!



You are not the only one lol.


Thanks for the idea! I did google it and it came up. But then got another idea. I am going to find an old mobile and rip it apart and use these on it.
http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/plush/362a/


Thanks I do too wish I had more of it but my DD had to have pj pants :rotfl:


Thanks I am hoping it does!


I bought the fabric for WAY to much at a local fabric store. I bought all they had the day she told me they were discontinueing it and could not get more lol. The only other place I have seen it is :wizard: . I have made pjs out of it and they were super cute!


So cute! I love this stuff now if I just had a little girl to put it in lol.


Such a sweet outfit love the fabric! Poor thing. I hate for her that she is having to go through this. :(


Absolutely beautiful! I love it all!


Just precious! You always do great stuff and this is just as great!



That is a good idea Lisa. I have not decided the definates of how I am going to put the fabric together yet or what else I will need to coordinate with it lol.

I actually do not get thier mass appeal either. I just really liked the fabric lol. I guess that is obvious when I bought the rest of the bolt though huh? :rotfl:

I made it over to the new thread.
I was MIA pretty much yesterday. Took Morgan to a "specialist":lmao: for her hand. We now have the "expert" medical opinion :lmao: I pretty much knew what they were going to say. Now I need to come to terms with it.

I have always believed there was nothing "wrong" with her hand. It just doesn't look like everyone elses. Now we have the Medical professionals opinion and it seems to agree.
We have always believed God made her this way, and it would seem the Doctors can't disprove that. They don't have any other answers.

Sadly there is no "cure" for people who make stupid rude comments about it. I would have thought medical science had come farther than that:lmao:

I'm sorry you are having to go through that. I know what it's like to get to the point where you have to accept a difference. Some kid asked about Riley's scar one time at the pool, which was fine, but when his dad actually used the work disgusting I thought that was a little over the top! Luckily Riley was little so I don't think she knew. I do know that she is self conscious of it though. Above everything else little girls just want to fit in, so sometimes differences are tough.

I am sure that she'll deal with it great though. I tell Riley all of the time that I can see the difference in her and some of her friends that have never know "suffering". There is something so sweet about a child that knows what it is like to not fit in. It has made her such a good friend to the other girls her age. Sometimes I think she's more mature than I am!

Is morgan able to use her hand fully? Will it affect her writing at all?
 
BIG GIVE ROBIN+5:

All three spots for the wish kid are still open on this big give! There are also 2 spots open for the 9 year old girl and 1 spot open for the 11 year old girl.

There are also 7 spots for family t-shirts, 3 spots for passports, and 3 spots for autograph books still open.

I would think since they're all older kids, they would be happy with something a little more simple. So, anyone who isn't fond of doing ruffles and frills might want to get in on this one.

Only 2 weeks until the shipping deadline, so hurry up and sign up if you're interested!!

Here's a link to the PTR if you need some inspiration!

:rotfl: Too funny. But my position on the subject stands. They totally creep me out. BUT to clarify, sock monkeys creep me out. I think their weird and like Denise don't fully understand their appeal. CLOWNS on the other hand I am deathly phobic of. I mean I am can't breath, heart pounding, palms sweating SCARED of clowns. Which, yes, is irrational but most phobias are. I, Tifani, am a coulrophobic.
T-
I don't know if you ever got it fixed, but i had a lot of the same problems with the 2 storybooks I did. I ended up leaving the pages that were connected together and peiceing them together 2 at a time, does that mke sense? as for them not being straight just did the best I could to square it up and I don't notice it on. I hemmed them at the bottom and did an underskirt with the ruffle attached to that to minimize the crookedness.

I just sewed fabric on either side of my panel and then pinned my pattern peice to that and cut it out. it looked like the beginnings of a quilt before i cut it out, but it worked out ok in the end:

anyway mabye i helped a little and didn'yjust ramble

Totally made sense. I have readjusted my plans, am going to buy a new book today and fix it. I have a new plan for both outfits. am going STRAIGHT from work to sew and do the damn thing!

Thanks everyone for your help and encouragement. It is less my sewing skills that are the problem an more my perfectionism. I have a hard time readjusting things...when I think it should be one way, darn it, that's the way it should be *cough*cinderellacake*cough* I am being flexible now though...see, this is me being flexible. I am practicing my beginner sewing mantra which was "done is better than perfect" I'd forgotten about that. I'm going to say it all day. :flower3:

MEGASTEPH...I don't know if I like Brie but you made me wanna try it. Hell, if it goes w/ beer it can't be bad! Thanks for your kind words.

Does anyone else read Megawoman's posts w/ a really BAD french accent in their head (or outloud:blush: ) I mean BAD cause it's the only kind of french accent I can do:rotfl:

GOOD MORNING!!!!(a little late)
...t.
 
What day are you going? We are going in now 2 months 4 weeks and 1 day.. not that I am counting!!!

We will be there the 15-20th with tickets to MTorT on the 17th :banana: :banana: :banana:

Well ladies I had thought today I would get caught up but it looks like that i s not going to happen. Little D has a meeting this morning and after I will be driving to 2 hours to Dallas. My ex is being an *&! and that is the best way to put it. He said some horrible things to my 14 and 12 year old last night and some things that NEVER should have been said in thier presense. Among it all he used a horrible word that makes me sick to my stomach when I hear it to describe my husband. I am sick that he cussed in front of the kids the way he did but I am absolutely mortified that he used this word in particular. Everytime I think he is growing up he slaps me in the face with his immaturity and makes me remember why we are divorced. Anyway before it spirals completely out of control and one of the kids does something stupid and he does something stupider back to them I am going to get them. I guess we will be back to him not calling or talking to them for the next few months. Which is about right since they both have bdays in the next 2 weeks. Sometimes I wonder if he does not do things like this to get him "out" of buying them stuff. :sad2: If you pray say one for me that with my lack of sleep I make it safely up tere and back and that hopefully he will be gone to work or wherever when I go to pick them up. I am not so sure I can hold my tongue this time after the comment he made about hubby. :sad2:

:faint: :sick: I can't believe he said that.

I had an awesome night of sewing. I was making a tiered teirl top, and all if the teirs matched up perfectly the first time I ruffled them!! (That never happens!!) I was finishing and pressing the top when I scorched the BRIGHT white bodice!! And of course it was on the side so it affected the front and back!! Nooooo!!! I ran upstairs, dug through my purse and grabbed my Tide to go pen. I used half the pen, soaked and scrubbed that huge mark!!! Checked it this morning and it came out!!! Whew! I was dreading appliqueing, ruffling, and constructing a whole new top!! I'm off to Walmart to stock up on more of those Tide pens!

Whew! I was scared for a minute. Yay for the Tide pen!

Ah Heather- you remembered me! I totally agree with you on this. Big, BIG POO-POO, STUPID Heads!

But......

Have you seen the headlines in the paper today?

Sock Monkeys Give Disers Reason to Fear!

I don't want to scare anyone with the article, so I'll just post the pics and captions.

The super heroes of the Sock Monkeys have arrived in Chaquitaville to calm the anger of local residents as they contemplate what their next step will be.

Offended by recent unsolicited comments made about sock monkeys on the DIS boards, Mr. T says he "Pity's the Fool!" that has made disparaging remarks about Sock Monkeys.

Local teen Sock Monkey thinks Diser's are being unfair and close minded about the situation. "They not only talk about us this way, but now they're saying bad things about clowns. CLOWNS! What'd they EVER do to DISers I ask??"

Pictured below: Hurt and depressed: Sammy the Sock Monkey sits at the beach and quietly reflects on what he might have done to make people not like him. "I've never done anything to hurt a human being. I eat bananas, swing from trees and play a little sidewalk music with a wind up organ. I'm a law abiding monkey, yet..... they still feel this way? I just don't get it."

Karen, you cracky me up! That was so funny! It opened my eyes and made me realize some things. Now I know why I don't like sock monkeys, because I realized I was not scared of the Mr. T one--it's the ginormous blood red mouth I hate! :rotfl2: (Mr. T was cute though) :thumbsup2

Finally - I am at the end of the threads so I can post again!! Yall are moving way to fast for me. I haven't had time to do anything except work for the last 6 days. I have worked (6) 12 hour shifts in a row, and I am tired!! I got some horrible news last night. I was just "let go" from my part time summer job. This job was my DISNEY money!!!! It was a nursing instructing job that lasted for 8 weeks. I have only been a nurse for 2 years - a fact that I never tried to hide. The college hired me, but they didn't know that the state of Georgia requires three years of nursing experience to teach. So now, I do not have my Disney income. I can get another job, but it takes several weeks to get hired and started in another nursing job. I am so sad. :sad2:
I will probably have to cancel my extras, like BBB, wilderness club and the pirate cruise. :eek:


I am sorry for venting - but yall are my only Disney friends that understand. Everyone else thinks I am crazy and should be locked up because I like Disney too much!!

So sorry about the job! :hug:

I'm having a pettiskirt giveaway on my blog this week. My blog addy is www.mommastouch.blogspot.com GOOD LUCK!!

That is so cute! I'd been thinking "where are the pettis for the little babies!" everyone needs a petti! I'll have to get out my thinking cap.

I made it over to the new thread.
I was MIA pretty much yesterday. Took Morgan to a "specialist":lmao: for her hand. We now have the "expert" medical opinion :lmao: I pretty much knew what they were going to say. Now I need to come to terms with it.

I have always believed there was nothing "wrong" with her hand. It just doesn't look like everyone elses. Now we have the Medical professionals opinion and it seems to agree.
We have always believed God made her this way, and it would seem the Doctors can't disprove that. They don't have any other answers.

Sadly there is no "cure" for people who make stupid rude comments about it. I would have thought medical science had come farther than that:lmao:

:hug: people can be such idiots. DD10 has a friend with a form of dwarfism and I can't believe the things I hear coming out of other people's mouths. :sad2:
