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

[minnie2]

If you want to use a pattern, the Simply Sweet halter dress on ycmt looks just like that.


Woo-hoo! Poor Arminda, people are forever repeating her name back to her as "Amanda". Then, she has to repeat her name over and over. But, I love her name! It was my grandpa's mother's name. They called her Minnie, though (very Disney)


I don't know if I want to ask this, but how do you pronounce Chetan? I know how I'm saying it in my head and I'm hoping I'm saying it wrong. Anya is a very popular Russian name. I love it! That would have been so cool if your name was Heather Theresa! I would have been Shannon if I was a boy. I'm SOOO glad that didn't happen!

I didn't know your name was Marlo! Cool! I didn't have any other Heathers in my class in school, but now that I'm an adult, there are Heathers popping out of the woodwork!

Chetan's name is pronounced Ch a ten. Long A. It is a rough name I always spell it wrong! thankfully he is only 1 so by the time he can read Aunt Marlo hopefully will spell it right! LOL Yes Anya is a russian name . My DH is Russian. when my cousin named her he was actually happ it was a russian name Yeah technically they aren't my niece and nephew but they call me Aunt Marlo and my kids call my cousin and her DH Aunt and Uncle.

I actually get to take Anya and Chetan to WDW for the 1st time!!!!!!! I swear I am more excited about showing Anya the castle then about almost any part of the trip since se will only e 2.5 at the time!

i can beet that is I was a boy I was going to be Bart! Not bartholomew but BART! Can you imagine with this whole Bart Simpson stuff!

Yup I was supposed to be a heather. My other cousins little girl (6) is heather.

My middle name Theresa is actually after my grandmother who they called Terry so my mom assumed her real name was Theresa. After she passed away she found out her name was Tessey or Tessa I can't remember. I chuckled when every I read you and your sisters posts with all the name stuff since they are all so close to my family names or what I should have been named. Now if your parents are Diana and Tom that would be very interesting coincidences!

I like the idea of family names a lot.
I think Arminda's name is really cool! Though I hated growing up with a very different name! All i can say thank god for Marlo Thomas other wise no one would know how to say my name I would for ever be Mario!

Here is Irelands Toy Story outfit for the cruise. She is waiting for the red hat that I bought her to get here, and I have added detail to the cuffs since the photo.. the belt isn't finished, I'm putting velcro on the back, so it will be adjustable...

And a close up of the hidden Mickey on the leg...

That Jessie outfit is wonderful!

 

[princessmom29]

Wow, you girls move so fast! We had a rough week or so around here, and I fell behind on the thread, and now I have 130 pages to catch up on!!

My husband and girls got sick with colds, then my oldest dd hyperextended her foot and ended up in the ER (she's ok now), then I had my 2 bottom wisdom teeth extracted and since I have TMJ, I've been in a world of pain before and after the extraction. I'm finally feeling better, although the wisdom teeth had cracked the molars next to them and they still hurt some. I have to have all this dental work done before Disney, that's for sure!

So anyway, I've been busy sewing to pass the time while everyone was on the road to recovery. I wanted to share a couple of outfits I've finished.

This is my oldest's outfit for when we go to AKL and eat at Boma (little sister will be getting a Zebra outfit too! I just ran out of material!)

Here is Belle's pirate outfit, she has been so excited about this one! At first it was a corset and skirt with a white shirt, but it was not flattering to her at all, so I tore it apart and made it into a dress. It will be cooler for the summer heat anyway. I found some coin ribbon to embelish it at Hancock's Fabric.

We picked up this hat at Hobby Lobby for $3 and I sewed on the ears, the red Mickey Material, the skull & bones and one of the coins that matches her dress.

Here is her Hannah Montana outfit. I got the idea for the guitar from the Disboutiquers Photobucket account, my daughter loves it! She "plays" guitar on her shirt!

The pants to this outfit that I had made were too hot for when we go, so I made a skirt to match the top.

That's all I have for now! I look forward to catching up on the thread as much as I can and see what you've all been up to!

Editing to add in these pictures that I forgot-

I made Belle a Wall-E shirt and she and her Daddy went to see the movie and loved it!

Sorry the quality is so poor, I don't know what happened!

And this is my very first bow, made to match her Wall-E shirt

It turned out ok, but now I realize what kind of ribbon to use and what not to use! :lol:

Such cute outfits, and what a great bow!!!

Thanks for the compliments everyone! I love the pirate hat too, and it saved us quite a few $$$!



No pattern, I just cut out the top and shaped it, then two long strips of zebra material and ruffled them on. It has elastic across the back and I tied a couple of zebra strips for the straps. Then I appliqued a piece of zebra material for the Minnie head. It was my first applique, and took forever!

Renae

How funnny I think the zebra mickey head was my first or second appliuqe too!

Here is Irelands Toy Story outfit for the cruise. She is waiting for the red hat that I bought her to get here, and I have added detail to the cuffs since the photo.. the belt isn't finished, I'm putting velcro on the back, so it will be adjustable...

And a close up of the hidden Mickey on the leg...

This is awesome my DD would love something like that, she LOVES Jesse.

Of course I had to check my kid's names, too. Tessa was #280 the year she was born and Sawyer was #247 in 2006. Then, I checked Teresa's kids. Lydia was #137 in 2002, Corey was #65 in '92, and Arminda was not in the top 1000 baby names- ever! What fun (for me, at least)! ETA: Wait! The last time Arminda made the charts, it was ranked #637 in 1886! I'd like to see someone top that name in uniqueness, without having completely made the name up, or just changing the spelling!

Heather was #4 in 1974. No wonder there are so many Heathers the same age as me!

I can relate! Try being a Jennifer born in 1978! It was the number one name from 1970 until 1984 and didn't drop out of the top 10 until 1992, when it was #11! There were 4 other Jennifers in my one kindergarten class alone! That doesn't count the 2 other PM classes or the AM classes!

I used this list a lot when trying to decide on names for both the girls...Claire was #92 the year she was born and Molly was #97 last year.

We really struggled picking a name for Molly. DH doesn't like names with nicknames for some reason (although, like him I have gone by my nickname and not my full name my entire life, so I kind of understand where he is coming from). Anyways, it was hard finding a name we liked that was not any higher than 75 on the list that didn't have a nickname associated with it.

 

[clairemolly]

Here are some pics of the frist dress I made for Claire. It is the pre-shirred Tink fabric from Wally World, so it wasn't anything too complicated. I made it Thursday night and she wore it all day Friday.

I have the bodice done on a CarlaC Criss Cross dress for Claire for Crystal Palace. She has already put in dress requests for a Bengals dress, a baseball dress, a basketball dress and a UC Bearcats dress. Yup, we love us some sports in this house and my making her a dress made her realize she can support our teams and wear a dress at the same time!

Here are some poses she insisted on doing. Why are 5 year olds so odd?

And just so she is not left out...here is Molly doing her latest trick...can you figure out what it is?

Off to cut, ruffle and attach the skirt part of the Pooh dress and I will be back later to post it!

 

[Jajone]

Welcome to thread #7! Wow, you are one gorgeous lady! I love your funky scarf, how cool! The little tiny Lilly hat is adorable! Love the purse for your sister and the headscarf thingy is really cute!


I was curious if the name Lily was only popular on our little thread. Turns out it's not just us! It ranked #27 in popularity last year in the US, and has been in the top 100 baby names since 2002. I love this website to find out the popularity of baby names and the top 10 baby names each year. It's an official count from the social security office.

You beat me to it. I'm a Jennifer from 1973 and had many others in my class!

 

[Disney Brat]

Welcome! That is how they got me. i stumbles upon this thread and fell in love with all of their great stuff and every one is so wonderful so I jumped in! Now I LOVE sewing! I can't wait to see what you have made.

Thanks for the welcomming!

Here is Irelands Toy Story outfit for the cruise. She is waiting for the red hat that I bought her to get here, and I have added detail to the cuffs since the photo.. the belt isn't finished, I'm putting velcro on the back, so it will be adjustable...

That is such a cute outfit!! Love the hidden Mickey!!

All the other outfits were amazing too, but I guess I never pressed the multi quote button

 

[mytwotinks]

I thought Alexis was the only one with the tongue out, dog panting thing... I had no idea that other kids did this..

Drew does that too! I had no idea other kids did it. I have always wondered where she got it, now I'm thinking it's just a weird instinct. She is my strange child though!!!

 

[mytwotinks]

Thanks! I had alot of fun making these sets.

I am not a spongeBob fan either, but I do like how the set turned out. When the kids get to watch tv, it's rearely on anything besides Disney, so my DD hasn't really ever watched it!! Thank goodness, because I couldn't take it!!

My kids had never watched it until my husband babysat my neice on black Friday while my sister and I shopped all day! I could have killed him. I had no moral problems with it like some of my friends, I just can't stand to listen to it!!!! Do you know that show is on 24 hours a day??????

Anyway, that spongebob turned out super cute and I am thinking of doing some jammies for the girls with tanks or tee's like that. Where did you find the bright yellow?

Great job on the dress. Can't wait to see the others. What a little model you have! Both girls are beautiful. And my guess is "how big is Molly?".

Heather was #4 in 1974. No wonder there are so many Heathers the same age as me!

Jenna was #45 for 2001. I think that had to do with Jenna Bush. I did not name her after one of the Bush twins.

Just so you know Heather, Amber, Meranda and Chandler's mom is named Heather too and she was born the same year as you.

I thought Alexis was the only one with the tongue out, dog panting thing... I had no idea that other kids did this..

Jenna pants too!! I always thought it was weird. I always just say, "I guess that means you like it. Right?"

No I totally understand. I wouldn't expect you to do that AT ALL. I just thought it was something that you did on your own. Off to check it out.

If you do get the tutorial in it is a disclaimer about the fumes that come off while making the bowls. I put the vent on over my stove and as long as you aren't making a bunch of them it doesn't get bad.

I love pre-shirred dresses. My guess is that Molly has learned to play peek-a-boo. She is just too cute.

 

[mytwotinks]

Well, ladies and tom, I am off to do some sewing. We are couped up again today because Riley isn't feeling up to going to church. It's hard to sit through church when you can't sit!

Hopefully I'll get a bunch finished today. I am trying to do some sewing without shopping! Seriously! I have bought the "fixins" for tons of stuff I have never made, so I should have enough stuff to finish some projects, right?

Does anyone else enjoy the buying and planning part more than the constructing part? I just love fabric shopping!!!!!!! I have got to get to work on some of this stuff that I have bought before I buy more and more and more and more...... You get the picture!

24 hours?!?

I got the yellow tanks at Childrens Place. They're on clearance now. They also have the bright yellow in tees.

I too love the shopping more than the constructing. Although completing a project feels better than anything.

Probably not really 24 hours, but it sure seems like it. It is a rare thing for Drew to look for it on Nik and not have it be on!

I too love the shopping more than the constructing. Although completing a project feels better than anything.

That is true! Sometimes I just sit for a long time and look at what I have finished. Sometimes I pick a section out that I am particularly proud of and just gaze at it! I can't imagine what I would do if I were as talented as some of the others here!

 

[AQW]

And just so she is not left out...here is Molly doing her latest trick...can you figure out what it is?

How big is Molly???? SOOOOOOOO BIIIIIIIIG!!! Oh I *love* that game... that picture is making my baby fever RAGE!!! Gorgeous girls!

As for names, both my kids' names (Dexter and Celeste) have fluxuated primarily from the 300s to the 900s over the past century... just how I like 'em. I wanted something that was recognizable for most people, fairly easy to spell and pronounce, but not something you hear every day.

I think Celeste fits in well on this thread because she was very, very, very, VERY close to being a Lily. In the end I just couldn't do it because it was getting so popular (Celeste was born in 2005) but I still *love* the name.

Heather was #4 in 1974. No wonder there are so many Heathers the same age as me!

OK, so I had to check our names, too! Caleb and Ella are both popular, but rank in the 20's, not top 10, so that's good, I guess. DH (Matthew) has always been popular and mine - I go by Lori, but my real name is Lorinda - hasn't been in the top 1000 since 1971 (I was born in 78) and even when it was in the top 1000, it was in the 800's or so.

Oh my gosh, how cute!! Tessa has been saying she wants to be Jessie for Halloween and that's exactly what I had in mind! Tessa immediately stuck out her tongue and started panting when she saw it. I think that means she likes it. SOO cute!

I thought Alexis was the only one with the tongue out, dog panting thing... I had no idea that other kids did this..

Ella does this too! She loves it when I play along and tell her she's a good puppy and scratch her belly and behind her ears.

Castle, your Jessie outfit came out great!

You have beautiful girls! The tink dress came out great and I think Claire looks a little like Jennifer Love Hewitt! And is Molly doing Twinkle Little Star? She's a doll!

Wow, you have been busy! Fantastic outfits! Love the zebra print Animal Kingdom outfit! I've got one similar on my to do list for our upcoming trip. I hope I get to it, yours turned out so cute! The pirate outfit is great and I love the coin trim. The guitar outfit is perfect too, love the side ponytail! It seems to go with the rock 'n roll little girl theme in my mind. Great job on the bow too! One of these days if I get brave I'm going to try one!

Here is Irelands Toy Story outfit for the cruise. She is waiting for the red hat that I bought her to get here, and I have added detail to the cuffs since the photo.. the belt isn't finished, I'm putting velcro on the back, so it will be adjustable...

Is Molly SO BIG?

I have a Claire (DD3) and Lilly was almost a Molly. If there is ever another DD (my DH will probably divorce me if I get pregnant again - and since Lilly is not even 3 weeks old I had better wait a while!) I still love Molly and may use it for her since boys don't seem to be in our future.

My kids had never watched it until my husband babysat my neice on black Friday while my sister and I shopped all day! I could have killed him. I had no moral problems with it like some of my friends, I just can't stand to listen to it!!!! Do you know that show is on 24 hours a day??????

Anyway, that spongebob turned out super cute and I am thinking of doing some jammies for the girls with tanks or tee's like that. Where did you find the bright yellow?

I think that is my biggest beef with him. SpongeBob is on ALL OF THE TIME it seems. And his voice grates on my nerves. I have no moral issue with it (although it teaches them absolutely nothing of any value that I can see) it just bugs me. Too bad my girls love it! There are days when I feel like, okay, just watch it if it will make you happy for a while. Bad mom!

Well, ladies and tom, I am off to do some sewing. We are couped up again today because Riley isn't feeling up to going to church. It's hard to sit through church when you can't sit!

Uhm, yeah, I am on a self-imposed no more buying spree right now. I love to buy fabric, I just need to use it! So right now I am trying to use what I have on hand (buying only things to coordinate - that doesn't count does it?) and finish some projects up. After I finish everything up (like that will ever happen ) then I can buy more!

 

[HeatherSue]

I can relate! Try being a Jennifer born in 1978! It was the number one name from 1970 until 1984 and didn't drop out of the top 10 until 1992, when it was #11! There were 4 other Jennifers in my one kindergarten class alone! That doesn't count the 2 other PM classes or the AM classes!

I used this list a lot when trying to decide on names for both the girls...Claire was #92 the year she was born and Molly was #97 last year.

We really struggled picking a name for Molly. DH doesn't like names with nicknames for some reason (although, like him I have gone by my nickname and not my full name my entire life, so I kind of understand where he is coming from). Anyways, it was hard finding a name we liked that was not any higher than 75 on the list that didn't have a nickname associated with it.

Ah yes, there were many, many, many Jennifers and Rebeccas in my class! My bestest friend in the whole wide world (besides family, Teresa) is named Jennifer, so I have a fondness for that name!

I checked that list ALL the time when I was pregnant with Sawyer, hoping they'd update the 2005 top baby names before I had him. I was so afraid that Sawyer would get really popular because of Lost. The list didn't come out in time, but Sawyer didn't get too popular! I shouldn't have worried, who cares if it was popular!? It's his name! I was using Tessa no matter what, because she's named after my darling sister.

Here are some poses she insisted on doing. Why are 5 year olds so odd?

And just so she is not left out...here is Molly doing her latest trick...can you figure out what it is?

Off to cut, ruffle and attach the skirt part of the Pooh dress and I will be back later to post it!

Such a pretty dress! Your girls are just gorgeous! Is she playing "itsy bitsy spider?"

Drew does that too! I had no idea other kids did it. I have always wondered where she got it, now I'm thinking it's just a weird instinct. She is my strange child though!!!

I'm so glad my child is not the only one with this annoying habit. When she does this, she won't talk, just pant! Sometimes it is accompanied by jumping, pointing, and grunting. (that's for you, Jeanne)

Do you know that show is on 24 hours a day??????

Yes, unfortunately I do know that.

Well, ladies and tom, I am off to do some sewing. We are couped up again today because Riley isn't feeling up to going to church. It's hard to sit through church when you can't sit!

Hopefully I'll get a bunch finished today. I am trying to do some sewing without shopping! Seriously! I have bought the "fixins" for tons of stuff I have never made, so I should have enough stuff to finish some projects, right?

Does anyone else enjoy the buying and planning part more than the constructing part? I just love fabric shopping!!!!!!! I have got to get to work on some of this stuff that I have bought before I buy more and more and more and more...... You get the picture!

Poor Riley

I definitely LOVE the planning and buying part the best! But, like you said, I also love to see the finished product!

That is true! Sometimes I just sit for a long time and look at what I have finished. Sometimes I pick a section out that I am particularly proud of and just gaze at it! I can't imagine what I would do if I were as talented as some of the others here!

You are so cute!

I think that is my biggest beef with him. SpongeBob is on ALL OF THE TIME it seems. And his voice grates on my nerves. I have no moral issue with it (although it teaches them absolutely nothing of any value that I can see) it just bugs me.

You mean besides how to sing "It's the best day eeeeverrrrrr. It's the best, it's the best day ever." over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again?
