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

[kjbrown]

I made the CarlaC bucket hat. It's cut out pieces from the Buzz storybook fabric. I was going to make a shirt, but it didn't work out. A gift for another boy, modeled by my DS. His first modeling gig!

Her directions had me gather the big patches to attach to the circle, but then I wound up with a couple of puckers. I think next time, I'll just try easing it by hand. I seem to do better that way.

 

[jham]

how about this costume: back is shirred and front has the sweetheart style
pattern (I am making this big for my neighbor she is a size 12/14 but you adjust to your size)

because of the shirr in the back the outfit stays in place and fits really nice in the front , I will put it on tomorrow and take pictures

hope this helps , I am working on the other costume tutorial I will have it in the morning

Linnette

WOW Linnette! I don't know how you do it. You have a wonderful talent.

So, here's what I've been working on recently. These are another step in reducing my tee stash as well as using up some of the miscellaneous fabric from my stash. I have one other set, in pink, in progress. I just need to finish the appliqué of Aurora. My photos are bugging me so I'm going to try for better ones tomorrow.

​

This is a work in progress. It's not quite a UFO but the appliqué is one I cut out months ago and it was smaller than I wanted for the dress I was making then so I put this one away and started over. I'd almost forgotten about it until I was organizing my appliqué folder and found it. This dress is also using up some remnants of fabric from other projects, including the straps that were left overs from past dresses.

So cute, love the straps on the Minnie!

Well Miss Ellarie started Pre-K today. She was sooooooooo excited. Here she is before we left for school. My mom made the outfit

I think the last pic. she was ready for me to leave. Everyone asked if I cried. I think I would of, but when you take her for her first day with a 2.5 month old and a 2yr old who runs everywhere. I forgot, I even forgot to kiss her. I did make sure I went back and gave her a kiss.

She is growing before my eyes! Now, When can the 2yr old START!

She looks so cute in her new outfit and with her nap mat! I too am usually too busy with the little siblings to get too emotional. This year I'm excited for the big kids to go back to school. I have mixed emotions about Luke going to Kindergarten. He is almost six so he is more than ready and I know it will be great for him because he gets kind of bored at home after a while. He is so excited. On the other hand, it will almost feel lonely with just Lily and myself at home. At least it is only half day kindergarten.

That is really cute! I think I have that storybook. Not sure what I'll do with it yet.

You are never going to believe this....but my friend who is in Disney (MK at this moment!) just called me. They have been talking about buying DVC for over a year. Well, they went on the tour today and I think they are going to buy it! I am soooo excited for them! They both love Disney and have three kids so they will definately use it!!!
And guess what's more......she insisted we stay at Saratoga Springs when we go to the Feb Dismeet!!!!!

I am soooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay, Cathy!!!! That is sooo exciting. I have a friend who just bought her DVC last year and can't use their ressies that they have for Nov. and asked if we'd like to take their Oct. booking for FREE before they sell it, but we've already paid for our Marriotte villa and I want them to get money out of it but HOW nice was it of them to offer. This is a girl I met on the Dis too.
I'm so excited for you!!! Can't wait for the meet in Feb!!!

Yes it was the pink and black! Thanks for finding some for me. I must have been gone already. I have plenty now, but if you aren't going to use it, I don't want you to be stuck with it. I'll buy it from you if you want to get rid of it.

Also, thanks for voting, those of you are!!!!

That's ok. It was like 1.50 a yd and there was just over 2 yds (I think) I will just keep it around for a big give project or something. NO BIG I just wish I'd found it in time for you to use it for your trip.


STEPH OH YEAH!!!! I forgot that Soup's parents live in Palm Harbor. I think Angie and Dave (we knew Dave before Angie did and have always called him Soup...I don't know why, but it's how I was introduced to him) and his boys have been going to church with them before all this.

Angie has finally got to hold Danica and it seems she is progressing as normally as any other preemie let alone the fact that she is a "micro" preemie. They are able to take her off of her ventilator for short periods of time. She has had brain ultrasounds and so far everything looks normal.
Thank you all for remembering her in your prayers.

And YES, Steph, you can help with the sewing. Her shower is in the beginning of Sept. I think. I will get back with you w/ the dates. I got some really cute pink fabric w/ skulls...you know it's so hard to find a "cute" punk rock fabric!!! That I am going to make one set out of. I bought 4 yds(cause I had a 40% off coupon) I think I'll make something w/ it for Lily too. But I would love for you to be able to help. I think Angie would really appreciate that it came from someone from the King's church. I can come down there to pick the stuff up and we can have lunch

Thanks for offering.

MSMCKENNA: I agree that maybe painting the other wall blue would be a good idea. It will look less "blank" and still not busy. I LOVE what you've done so far.

I am officially a college student (once again!!) I am retaking classes from a semester when I was 23 and decided just not to go to school anymore. I'm taking Intermediate Algebra...I am NOT mathematically inclined and algebra is pretty much the reason I keep quitting school cause if I can't pass it I can't get a degree and I freak out and quit. So, we'll see how it goes this time!! I am also taking American History, Am. Government and Intro to Psych. I think if I take summer classes I should be able to start my bachelors program next fall.

 

[t-beri]

AAAAHHHHH!!!

For those of you who were anxiously awaiting he Harry Potter: The Half Blood Prince release this Nov. and haven't heard, Warner Bros. has pushed the release date back to JULY 17 2009
There was an opening for a summer release and due to HP's successful summer release last year they decided to take advantage of it.

I am sooooooooo Freakin' mad! I'm glad I never got that counter to work in my siggy, it jsut jumped from 106 days (or so) to 300-something. If I had to look at it every time I logged on I'd just be ticked off!!!!

GRRR...t.

 

[100AcrePrincess]

WOW! Everythime I see something you've made it makes me want to start appliqueing everything I make. These are great! I really like the Jasmine (and the others you've done like that).

 

[twob4him]

It's ok. There is more to the story than just that. It is not my intention to leave my DH for him. DH and I are trying to work things out, but he is not trying to do what it is he is saying he is going to do. The only time that he even attempted to be a step-father to Jenna was when he found out that her daddy was back in town (only for a short time), but that was when he started saying stuff like I was going to leave him for her daddy. My big fear right now is that DH is cheating. As for the trip to WDW I doubt that I would go. I would love to go because I have always gotten along really well with Eddie's family. I adore his mom.

Wow it sounds like you have a lot on your plate. I too have pretty much walked in your shoes....so hugs to you and I just love the pics of Jenna and her dad....they both look very happy! If you need to vent or a shoulder to lean on, feel free to pm!

TeresaJoyce!
"I bet she had a nice CM!"

Awww I still can't believe the way you were treated. They should really try to make it up to you....I know you won't write a letter to complain but I wish you would.


That looks like a horse I use to have, Raspberry! He was NOT a good pony! He use to step on our feet, on purpose! He ran me into a big bush by the side of our house once, and then just stood there so I would get off! Right in the middle of the bush!!!

"Your" appy looks much nicer!!!
Yes, unfortunately "pony" and "nice" rarely go in the same sentence. In order to do that you have to really work on ground manners and know exactly what you are doing. Ponies are notoriously smart, lazy and difficult to manage compared to horse. Yes, the Appy I mind is very sweet but again, will occassionally take advantage if allowed....

That is so neat Cathy! Great job!

Thanks!

Hello everyone.

They came our really cute! I love the matchy matchy ears too!

Agreed!

While I don't tell Zoe I'll be glad to be rid of her , I let her know I'm looking forward to school starting as much as she is. I don't often admit that to other moms because I feel like I'll be judged for not crying or missing her. Zoe and I talk about how much she'll learn, the kids she'll meet, etc. and I also mention what I'll be doing while she's gone. As much as I love her and enjoy being her mom, I think it's important for her to understand that I need time for myself, too. Unfortunately, as a single work-at-home mom, I don't get much time for myself since I can't afford a sitter except on special occasions. Once school starts I'll be able to focus more on taking care of things around the house, working on my business as well as just enjoying some quiet without feeling like I'm neglecting her.

Agreed again! You are such a good mommy!

I am sooo close to asking you to make one for me (and I mean ME personally...not for my kids )...I just love them all. I really need to practice on my applique skills....not that I would be as good as you but I could attempt at least to improve

 

[twob4him]

Linnette

I just loved your tutorial....very clear and helpful! Can we add that to the book marks?

Well Miss Ellarie started Pre-K today. She was sooooooooo excited. Here she is before we left for school. My mom made the outfit
[She is growing before my eyes! Now, When can the 2yr old START!

Love the outfit and cool mat! So funny about the two year old

that is wonderful! Tell them 'WELCOME HOME!' One of my friends has owned at SSR and loves it! We are staying there in Nov on developer points. Are they buying at AKLV? We own there and can't wait to stay there!

Yes they are buying AKLV, which I agreed with them on their choice. However, the bonus is that Disney will match their points for a year...so our trip in Feb will be "free" Well, then there's the AP with dining and airfare to buy.... I will tell them Welcome Home from you!!!

I bet Megan would love it! I have found lessons to be a good solution for Sarah. Her instructor lets them groom and prepare the horses and let them out after. She also teaches them basic around the barn stuff. They even can go on trail rides! She is very good with them and safe too. I love it!

Love your computer things! So much nicer and friendlier than what you can buy in the store. I love that you covered the mouse pad! Did you make a mouse cozy too?

I could...whats a mouse cozy????

My horse (half app) would go and hide behind this mean mare when I could come out to get him. One time she kicked me in the butt and I went flying in the mud: just like in the cartoons! I had a hoof print shaped bruise right on the butt. Oooh, I hated her. She also bit me.

Ouch I can't believe she did that but I guess mares rule the roost so to speak. I hate getting horses out of the field unless I am bringing all of them in. You always have to take the "leader" in first.

Yay T! I say with pride that I managed to get a bachelors degree without taking math. It was a strange combination of classes waived by my ACT score and taking a really hard French Lit class where I had to read French lit IN FRENCH I did have to take a social statitistics class, but it wasn't too bad mathwise. Good luck and study hard! I can't wait for DH to finish his MBA!

Your DS is just adorable and I love the hat! My DH has been bugging me to find and buy a beret hat for my DD4 since she was born. Honestly I have never come across one. Well he brought it up again yesterday so I told him I would look online for a pattern and make it. Hope it looks as cute on a 4 yr old as a 4 month old!

YCMT has a cute beret pattern that is really easy to make and it looked really cute on Jenna and she was 6 at the time. So I'm sure that it will look cute on a 4 year old, especially your 4 year old.

 

[98happy]

Man I miss so much on here. It takes me so long to get things completed because I am so indesicive. (Pardon my spelling I know that wasn't right) And then I miss out on so many pages here. Well I was trying to create the Insa skirt without the pattern and it came out okay. It doesn't look like it lays like it is supposed to but close enough for me. So I wanted to share some of the things that I have made for our trip at the beg. of Sept.

I still have to figure out what to do with the pants to go with the princess top.

ATTENTION FEBRUARY DISMEETERS

Have we figured out what day we are going to meet? I think some people are going home just as I get there, so I'm not sure if I'll even be around for the meet, but 180 day ADR mark just hit and at this point I can only book CRT and Chef Mickeys because of the ADR systme change Anyhow, CRT is looking like I can only do it on the 8th as far as my family's plans go, but I don't want to book it if this is our meet day. I doubt I'd be able to move it around later. Maybe it's already booked. Maybe it's a moot point. I am a person who likes to HAVE PLANS, and I rarely change them. I don't mean detailed plans, but I do like to have my ADR's and parks down asap. Speak up people!

My DD4 tried it on and it was very cute! Oddly my 2 year old son and 4 year old daughter both wore it and it fit!

 

[ncmomof2]

Amazing as always!

 

[Stephres]

Just a drive by because we are on our way out to a playdate but I wanted to share something.

I have the worst time finding shorts and pants for Megan. She is tall and leggy and I have a hard time finding slim sizes for her. She also prefers elastic waist to zippers and buttons, like any little kid.

So I found a tutorial on craftster about making shorts from a t-shirt and I tried with one of DH's (don't tell him). He wears only blue, black and tan so I didn't have a lot to choose from. I love how it came out and will have to check target or walmart for cheap t-shirts.

I used a henley style so it is thicker than the average t-shirt. My favorite part is you line up the pattern with the bottom so no hemming!

The only problem is my husband is too small! I need a bigger husband so I can make pants too, lol. I would also like to add patch pockets or something, but I am not Linnette so that is very hard for me. The best thing is they took 20 minutes from start to finish!

GRRR...t.

I am so on board with you! I heard that this morning and was very upset (you can substitute other words than upset - I am but this is the disboard!). The only good thing is that the change in the release schedule hasn't changed the release of the last two movies (YET).

Man I miss so much on here. It takes me so long to get things completed because I am so indesicive. (Pardon my spelling I know that wasn't right) And then I miss out on so many pages here.

My daughter is such a ham for the camera sometimes and others runs like it is going to steal her dollie.

I still have to figure out what to do with the pants to go with the princess top. But be honest does the top look like pjs? Because it does to me. But I can't find anymore of that fabric.

Wow! Fantastic job! I love the JoJo outfit! You do wonderful work!

Those are cute. When you come back can you post the link to the tutorial? Those look so comfy. I just realized that Megan is only wearing one shoe.

I had a visual of your husband reaching for a tee and finding a shorts shape cut out of them...VERY Enchanted-esque!!
