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

[mom2princessizzy]

Here it is! My first applique, the Hello Kitty shirt. The face fabric kind of puckers sometimes and not others. Weird. But I think it looks great, I am very pleased with it. And my first twirl skirt! Used the CarlaC pattern, LOVE it. Making a "Minnie" one for my daughter now. This outfit is actually a gift for another girl, but my DD modeled it for me.

Gorgeous!! Love the fabrics you used in the twirl skirt!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Off to work...again, but it pays the bills and also gives up free food. Truly I do love my job and thank the Lord each day for having such a blessing.

I did do something on the Pocahontas costume today. I loaded up the kids in the car and we went to the hardware store to look at fabric. I have picked out a creamy yellow micro fleece. DD says I will be too hot but I am going with it is a small dress at evening.

I has a big stretch to the side. How should I sew this different because of the stretch?

 

[minnie2]

GORGEOUS! And no, I'm not th_ing them! You have such beautiful kids! I love the picture of Henry and Sawyer, makes you wonder what he is saying to him.


So I just took the kids to swimming lessons. DD10's friend, also 10 came along (sometimes she hangs out at our house so she doesn't have to go to daycare). She and Jayden are planning on being Elphaba and Galinda/Glinda for Halloween (you should see them sing "Loathing" together. it rocks!) and she said her mom doesn't want her to be Glinda because it is too princessy then later she was telling me how she loves princesses but everyone says she is too old to love princesses. She talked about how she has a couple of princess toys and she does not play with them with her friends because they will make fun of her Of course I told her Jayden would never make fun of her and will happily play princess with her any day. She also said she really wanted a princess tee shirt at Disneyland but would be embarrased to wear it to school I told her several times that I am not a little girl and I LOVE princesses, I have more than one princess shirt which I wear proudly, I would happily play princesses AT MY AGE. I don't think that made her feel better but honestly, it made me sad. I'm glad Jayden doesn't feel this way yet and I hope her "princess pride" can wear off a little on her cute friend.

That is so sad that kids her age don't like princesses or make fun of her for liking them! Nik hasn't said that is why she doesn't want princess stuff anymore but I can kind of tell that she does the Hannah Montana thing with the girls but at home she loves the princesses. I just keep telling her how much I love them and I even tell her friends how cool and feisty they all are. HEr close friends like them too so I am happy. I am also hoping now that we are DVC members and her friends know we go all the time they will start thinking they are cool because they are!

My kids would not be riding the bus if I wasn't so sure that their bus driver would be looking out for them. I'm pretty lucky. It usually ends up being easier to pick them up, but this year they divided the elementary so Drew is at the lower elementary (k-2) and Riley is at the upper (3-5). Riley can ride over to Drew's and I can pick them both up there, so that may be what we end up doing after the initial excitement of the bus wears off.

Drew picked out a Hannah Montana lunchbox at Target that was shaped like a guitar. She has been carying it around for a couple of weeks pretending to "play" it. We also got the thermos and the container to keep food warm. $40 later, I am going to have to force myself to stay motivated and make lunches! I really don't want them eating at school too much. I will let them if it's something special, but I want them to stick to our diet and there isn't any way to know what in the world they are eating in what they serve. Plus, I have a real problem with calling fried cheese or chips and fake cheese dip a main course!

You'll get used to making lunches before long it becomes 2nd nature.

Riley has a best little friend that I am sooooo glad she found. The two of them are total dorks together and they couldn't care less! She is her first friend that she made that wasn't through me. Most of the friends she was close to before it was because I had known their mom or met her at some function or something. They just found each other in 3rd grade and it's been wonderful! They love the fairies and they love their webkinz!

It's great when girls meet friends that they are comfortable with and don't judge each other! The only "problem" that this little girl's mom and I see is that they are soooooo close that they seem to have forgotten that any other girls exist!

I agree it is great when your kid finds a little buddy that they get along with so well. Thankfully Nikki has found 3 that I adore. One sadly is in another school but they still talk a bit. The other 2 are both on cheer with her and their moms are great too! The best part about one of the girls is she has a little brother who gets along so wonderfully with Kyle and they are ow the best of friends!

Off the topic of custom clothes, but on the topic of Disney World...

I got a discount code and want to take my DD4 to WDW for her birthday (Halloween). DH is putting up a stink. Did I mention he got laid off?

But I wanna goooooooo (she says in her whiniest voice).

Okay, done now. Back to your regularly scheduled programming...

So sorry about your DH and his job! Hopefully he will find one very soon and you can go!

On the topic of jobs. I feel so bad for my cousin! her DH was told that in 3-4 months his job is being out sourced to India! The irony of it is he is from India and came here to have a better life and now even his job is being outsourced!

Back to work on my bowling shirts!

 

[HeatherSue]

I UPDATED MY TRIP REPORT
It may seem like I post that all the time (t), but I haven't updated in almost 2 weeks!

GORGEOUS! And no, I'm not th_ing them! You have such beautiful kids! I love the picture of Henry and Sawyer, makes you wonder what he is saying to him.

Thank you! I was also wondering what Henry was whispering to Sawyer.

How sad that 10 year olds think they're too old for princesses.

BTW...Teresa and Heather!!!! enough with the ganging up!! See if I try to help w/ the Links ever again!( I know you were THRILLED!! ) Denise, Jeanne...could SOMEBODY get my back around here? JEESH, just leave me for the wolves why dontcha?
...t.

Hey! I believe it was you, Steph, and Marlo that started the ganging up stuff! But, I still love you all! BTW, have you seen my applique tutorial?

Plus, I have a real problem with calling fried cheese or chips and fake cheese dip a main course!

I despise processed cheese product! Why do they insist on serving that junk to kids?

Ok, Ok, please forgive me T.! I really did appreciate the help with the bookmarks too! That saved me a bunch of time!

I had no idea T helped with the bookmarks! I would have just taken her abuse, had I known.

I haven't heard from Cindy_B_Good in a LONG time! I think of her often, though. Sondra, if you're reading, come out of lurkdom!!

That is just sad ! I am hoping that My Jayedyn wont go through that stage, I highly doubt it since she is our only girl..

I LOVE uniforms. Every other elementary school in the county except 1 (the parents voted against it) has had them since Gavin started school. But he is moving to a brand new school and for some reason the school board needed to officially VOTE for the policy but it got wrapped into a proposal to extend the uniforms into middle school and for 1 of the high schools. The middle and H.S. parents threw a fit.When they rescinded the proposal our school policy was off of the agenda, as well, until next year. I was actually upset about it!! Some of the schools uniform policy's are less strict. in some you can wear any navy, black or tan pants so don't allow cargo pants or black pants. Most schools have about 3 colors (school colors) to choose from, some offer polos w/ the schools logo as well but they aren't mandatory. one school lets them wear any style pants and any color polo. I already bought his burgandy and hunter green polos. I wanted to add a few gold ones to the group but now I think I need to buy him some suitable street clothes. He doesn't think anyone will CHOOSE to wear the uniforms.
I'm very quite upset about the situation. I could take uniforms back and buy clothes but what if the school is successful in encouraging the kids to wear the uniforms? what then...I'd have to buy uniforms...I guess I will send him to school and not worry too much and make my decision after the first week is over.
...t.

BTW...Teresa and Heather!!!! enough with the ganging up!! See if I try to help w/ the Links ever again!( I know you were THRILLED!! ) Denise, Jeanne...could SOMEBODY get my back around here? JEESH, just leave me for the wolves why dontcha?
...t.

Ya know i would not mind uniforms at school so much it would save on clothes for my big family but they would have to have at least a fri as a free day so my kids could wear there customs..
and to help you vent DUH don't schools realize that us parents NEED to know these things Before school starts....

My kids would not be riding the bus if I wasn't so sure that their bus driver would be looking out for them. I'm pretty lucky. It usually ends up being easier to pick them up, but this year they divided the elementary so Drew is at the lower elementary (k-2) and Riley is at the upper (3-5).

Plus, I have a real problem with calling fried cheese or chips and fake cheese dip a main course!

Speaking of lunches Made me wonder what my kids had for breakfast and lunch let me see....
Breakfast:
Pancake/sausage on a stick , Either Coco Roos or Crispy rice Banana and choice of milk
Lunch: choice of
Beefy Mac or
Taco Salad or
Cheese Pizza or
Bologna/cheese sandwich or

Mandarin chicken salad
Choice of Milk
Dessert A piece of chocolate cake

gosh better than what i had ....

Hey Jeanne, I'll come play Princess w/ you That is sad and I hope that you are able to smack Jayden around a bit and bring her to her senses if she ever speaks of disowning princessdom.

Once again you have succeeded in making me feel very jealous and left out because I have never heard the soundtrack to WICKED. I also have been meaning to read the second book, but haven't. Is Son of a Witch any good?

And Misty makes me wanna read Twilight but DS is always on about how much the troll, *Ehem*, sorry got something caught in my throat, his step mom (read: the woman his dad lives with and gave a huge fetchin' rock to but is NEVER going to marry) LOVES these books and is obsessed with vampires. So I had to put my love of all things Vampiric aside and pretend like I am not interested one bit. I am however looking forward to the movie after seeing a trailer.

You could always read them on the down low but after reading it you could not keep your excitement quiet..

Off the topic of custom clothes, but on the topic of Disney World...

I got a discount code and want to take my DD4 to WDW for her birthday (Halloween). DH is putting up a stink. Did I mention he got laid off?

But I wanna goooooooo (she says in her whiniest voice).

Okay, done now. Back to your regularly scheduled programming...

Oh That is toughy , it is hard when DH get laid off.. I hope things get better 4 ya . (and you get to take DD to the world ) shhhh don't let DH know i am supporting you

 

[iheartdisney]

I kept it simple for the boys...mainly because I did not do appliques with my OLD machine...now I do...(oh! That calls for a Thanks Heather right?)

But anyway...i did shorts with iron ons...it's hard to tell much from these pics, but you get the idea...

oooh, those are good! Now I just have to decide which sister he gets to match! I have it planned so the girls don't totally match...but its going to be cute, I can't wait to get started!
I like the Raglans also, but as we are going in Early September, the less sleeves, the better!
I have an entire drawer of hats no one will wear, so I learned my lesson there!

Here it is! My first applique, the Hello Kitty shirt. The face fabric kind of puckers sometimes and not others. Weird. But I think it looks great, I am very pleased with it. And my first twirl skirt! Used the CarlaC pattern, LOVE it. Making a "Minnie" one for my daughter now. This outfit is actually a gift for another girl, but my DD modeled it for me.

Close up...

And the requisite twirl photo...

Wow! You did a fantastic job! Your dd is so cute, too - I love how she's got her pinky up in the twirl photo - so dainty!

Morning! I heard Heather has a great tutorial!!!! Though she is far to shy to mention it!!!!

I finally finished the crabby outfits and we are at the beach right now!! I think they turned out pretty good. Hannahs pants need to be rolled a few times cause they are long, but Elizabeth and Tim's fit fine.

And I had posted these birthday outfits before, but I finally had all my girls together!!!

I actually brought my sewing machine with me to the beach house - our company is gone, so I think I"ll get it out tonight~~~

So cute! I love the crab outfits!

I have been way too on-topic lately, so here are WAY too many Sawyers and Tessas.

I "borrowed" (okay, I stole it for a few days) my dad's camera and took some pictures of the kids out in the yard.

Here's an example of what most of them looked like!

But, I also got a few of these.

These were taken later that day when they were outside playing with Daddy.

Okay, I'm almost done, I promise! My dad bought this little house for $50 at WalMart (for the grandkids, this is next door at their house) and Sawyer was "helping" him put it together.

Oh. My. Goodness. BEAUTIFUL photos and kids, especially!

Well ladies! School has started!!!! I just dropped the girls off at their first day and then met a friend for coffee to celebrate! I am a little sad that summer is over though. It was so crazy with all of our doctors appts. and tests at the hospital for Riley, but I can't really complain because we were able to make it to most of the major things that we had wanted to do. It does seem to have slipped away though and now we are headed into the "structure" of the school year.

I can't get the pictures off of my memory stick, but you'll have to see the "beautiful" (horribly tacky) outfit that Drew picked to wear for her first day. It is from limited too and it horribly tacky with faux necklaces and jewels all over the front. It is very DREW!

Riley was so funny this year. I guess fifth graders are too cool for new lunch boxes! I wasn't trying to talk her into a character or anything, but I thought that she would at least want a fresh new little cooler looking one like she has been using, but no go! She wanted to use her same lunch box and her same backpack. She also talked to her friends about what they would wear and the general consensus was a jean skirt and t-shirt. They didn't want to look like they were trying too hard!

Girls are so funny!!! Maybe now that they are off at school for a few hours a day being "funny" for other people, I'll have time to keep caught up here and maybe even if I go crazy I can get some sewing done!

Hope both girls had a great day at school! Caleb starts next week. I don't know what I'm going to do with only Ella at home. We're both going to miss him so much.

You'll just have to get on here and sob with the rest of us. Tessa doesn't start until September 2, but I'm going to be a wreck!

BTW, I have no idea why you're laughing at Minnie2's comment on my applique tutorial. Do you have the link to it? I can post it if you need it!

 

[teresajoy]

How do I post pictures?
How do I multi-quote?
How do I make the pictures smaller in my reply?
Does anyone know of a good applique tutorial?
Are there any free patterns out there?

All these mysteries and MORE answered in the first post!

 

[teresajoy]

I was going to post this earlier, but I think I forgot, or maybe I'm just repeating myself, in which case, just ignore me!

I found this site today: http://m-sewing.com/
It has quite a few free patterns in PDF format. Lots of adult clothes and some kids. Some of their patterns aren't uploaded yet, but it is a really neat site!!

I added it to the "adult clothing" and "stuff I need to sort out" folders in the bookmarks. The link which can be found in mine and Heather's signatures and in the first post of this thread!

Oh, and I also added a bunch of hair braiding sites! Which I have speant way too much time looking at today!

It really is weird! I remember taking Drew to K-mart on Riley's first day of Kindergarten because we were just so bored at home by ourselves. She just sat in the cart all confused about why there wasn't someone there entertaining her like Riley always did.

I never did get used to being alone during the day though. I waste a lot of time checking on the girls! I keep forgetting they aren't there. I plan on being better with time management this year and getting more done during the day.

Yes, be prepared for a sob-fest on Monday.

And I'm laughing at that comment because, girl, if you pimped out that tutorial any more, I'd think you were getting paid with each hit on the site! And if that's the case, I'll be happy to pimp it out, too, if you'll give me a cut! Can I start now?

I bawl on the 1st day of school every yr! What can I say I actually mss my kids when they are in school then add to the fact each 1st day of school means they are growing up just a little more.

I have no clue what I am going to do this yr Kyle will be in school for a full day this yr! i just hope his teacher and Nik's teacher likes parent helpers! What am I going to do with my day because you know the house aint getting cleaned that would just make far too much sense! HUM I know I will sew!!!!!!!

...t.

Sorry it took me so long to respond to this, I was busy checking out Heather's applique tutorial. I'M HERE FOR YOU T! I can't believe anyone would pick on you!

Hey Jeanne, I'll come play Princess w/ you That is sad and I hope that you are able to smack Jayden around a bit and bring her to her senses if she ever speaks of disowning princessdom.

So I had to put my love of all things Vampiric aside and pretend like I am not interested one bit. I am however looking forward to the movie after seeing a trailer.

Yes, we need a "big girl princess party"! I have not read the book of Wicked, everyone I know that has really did not like it and liked the play much better, so I'll just stick with what I love. I liked the Twilight books. Cover your eyes Misty---they were pretty good, but I'm not OBSESSED like some people I know (and love )

Riley has a best little friend that I am sooooo glad she found. The two of them are total dorks together and they couldn't care less! She is her first friend that she made that wasn't through me. Most of the friends she was close to before it was because I had known their mom or met her at some function or something. They just found each other in 3rd grade and it's been wonderful! They love the fairies and they love their webkinz!

It's great when girls meet friends that they are comfortable with and don't judge each other! The only "problem" that this little girl's mom and I see is that they are soooooo close that they seem to have forgotten that any other girls exist!

It's funny, this friend of Jayden's was probably the first person to come introduce herself to Jayden when we moved in here 4 years ago. They have been "friendly" going to each other's birthday parties and playing together on the rare occasion, but this summer they have really clicked. Her mother and I were just talking about why they didn't play together more often before, because they get along FABULOUSLY, they never bicker or argue or make each other feel bad, which I have found to be rare in 10-year-old girls. Now throw in their mutual friend and problems abound

I'm glad I'm not the only one that cries the first day of school every year!!!! Corey is going to be a Junior this year, and....and....give me a minute.... *sniff* *sniff*......ok, think I'm ok now.... I still cry about his first day of school! I think when he graduates, he needs to take a year off, and just spend it with his Mommy! Just the two of us, like it was before those pesky little sisters of his came along! Oh, my baby, where did the time go??

Kenny Loggins has a song on the CD Pooh Corner, that makes Heather and I cry every time. I think it's called "Turn Around". I'd have to get the CD out to check, but it's a three hanky!

Here it is on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8mfhP891lQ

For our parent's anniversary party, Heather put together a video of their life, and she put this song in it when she showed pictures of us kids. (The YouTube video isn't ours, it some random strangers!) There wasn't a dry eye in the house by the end of the video!


And, I've had a lot of fun here today with all the teasing! It's fun to be off topoic for a day!

Ok, I am watching that video, and BAWLING!!!

I swear sometimes I think with all the 3 of us ( meaning Heather) have in common we are long lost sisters!
I swear I will cry every yr they go to school! I cry at the thought of them getting older at all! Heck I have a tear in my eye right now. Yeah I am a sap! If I can get the scanner working I will post this old comic strip my mom found that she had on her fridge when I was a kid. It is something about you can tell the mom's of kindergartners because they are crying where as the older kids all the parents are cheering. Problem is I will be bawling with the kindergarten moms!

Then I go on to think OMG one day they will get married and leave me! I told George we need to get a huge piece of land some where down south ( I miss te south so much!) and build a house for us and let the kids each build a house on the property so they can't leave us!

I think Corey should listen to his mom and take the yr off to be with Mommy! Maybe even a mommy and son trip to wdw! Hey I kind of like that Idea when each kid graduates they get a trip alone with mommy to wdw! HUM I need to mention that one to George!

And, I've had a lot of fun here today with all the teasing! It's fun to be off topoic for a day!

Ok, I am watching that video, and BAWLING!!!

Okay, Teresa, even I think it's a little weird that you want Corey to take a year off to spend with his mommy.

I am trying to find the video file where I made that video for mom and dad's anniversary. I want to put it on youtube. But, it's really long, so I don't know if I can do that. Once I get it done, I'll advertise it on here, every day if necessary.

Yes, be prepared for a sob-fest on Monday.

And I'm laughing at that comment because, girl, if you pimped out that tutorial any more, I'd think you were getting paid with each hit on the site! And if that's the case, I'll be happy to pimp it out, too, if you'll give me a cut! Can I start now?

I swear sometimes I think with all the 3 of us ( meaning Heather) have in common we are long lost sisters!
I swear I will cry every yr they go to school! I cry at the thought of them getting older at all! Heck I have a tear in my eye right now. Yeah I am a sap! If I can get the scanner working I will post this old comic strip my mom found that she had on her fridge when I was a kid. It is something about you can tell the mom's of kindergartners because they are crying where as the older kids all the parents are cheering. Problem is I will be bawling with the kindergarten moms!

Then I go on to think OMG one day they will get married and leave me! I told George we need to get a huge piece of land some where down south ( I miss te south so much!) and build a house for us and let the kids each build a house on the property so they can't leave us!

I think Corey should listen to his mom and take the yr off to be with Mommy! Maybe even a mommy and son trip to wdw! Hey I kind of like that Idea when each kid graduates they get a trip alone with mommy to wdw! HUM I need to mention that one to George!

I'm crying right now, just thinking about this!

Yes, a trip to WDW!!! That would be so much fun! Just Corey and I!

It's at times like this that I'm glad my kids are spaced so far apart! I would be such a mess if they all left home right after the other!
