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

[HeatherSue]

OOps, posted that awful picture twice.

 

[jham]

You have a beautiful home! I've heard about sinking your trampoline into the ground for safety reasons, but I've never see it acutally done. It's awesome!
I have that same green carpet - that I DETEST! and very similar cabinets in the kitchen. I didn't have the mauve painted dining room but I do have lovely mauve counter top I actually like the cabinets and I'm too cheap to replace the dreaded countertops that are still in perfectly good condition.

That green carpet was awful. It showed every speck of dirt and lint! There are a lot of "in-ground" trampolines around here. It is the only way I would have a trampoline and the nicest part is I don't have to spend my day helping the little ones get on and off it. The crazy part is that the puppy plays on it.

I finished my Robin+5 BIG GIVE outfit today!! This is for her 11 year old daughter, Morgan. She's big for her age, so I wanted to make her something that looks like a kid outfit because she has to buy grown-up sizes. I'm hoping she doesn't think it looks too "little kid-ish".

And since I thought you'd all appreciate the humor in it, I'm going to post pictures of my very first customs modeling gig! Tessa was my photographer today and she was very excited that the tables were turned!

I thought I should definitely do "The Megan"!

There is a "twirl factor" photo, but you don't need to see me from the back!

I used the tween flare skirt pattern from ycmt as a base shape for the panels in the skirt. But, I made them flare out a lot more and I added 2 extra panels to make it big enough.

That turned out really cute! Jayden is almost 11 and I asked her if she would wear it. She hesitated for a second then said "well, yeah if it had MY name on it!" I love your modeling! But "the Megan" just made me

You girls are so stinking cute! Love the poses of you older girl! First thing that came to mind was 'Supermodel WORK!' LOL Ok am I the only one that remembers that song???

I am with every one else she just learned 'so big!' Cute cute cute!


How is Riley today?

UGH my brand spanking new sewing machine got a huge error message! It said ' safety device activated!' UGH When I look it up it says something about the shuttle and the needle being bent and touching it. So I need to call the place where I bought it.

At least I got to finish the project I was doing!
A skirt for Nikki's best friend's bday. I am also making Nikki one except hers is a bit different. I ran out of material for her friends so I had to adjust the waist band and hem band. Also her friend is a lot taler then she is.
Please forgive the kids in their pj's they are OLD pj's and Nik wouldn't change for the pictures ad f course Kyle couldn't be left out!

Some one else on the board had made this skirt and was debating on keeping it for themselves because they didn't think the twirl factor was good enough for the little girl. well here is the twirl factor on and 8 yr old.

Oh and please excuse the messy playroom!

Very cute and twirly! I also love pink and green and our playroom let's just say I don't think you can even walk through the door.

I just lost my entire reply

Heather, I think your outfit for morgan is very thoughtful. And CUTE I agree, if you intend on getting any serious modeling gigs you're gonna have to get a twirl pose.

We are back. I am tired.

A short list from my trip.
1. I did NOT go to bed Thursday. OR Friday for that matter. We didn't get back to the room until 2:00 Friday which means I was up for 41 hours straight. I was more than tired and my body HURT. I never hurt so much from one day at the park, I know it was just b/c I was running on E.

2. NO minnie skirt. She wore jean shorts and that was fine w/ me.

3. She wouldn't wear her birthday shirt, she found a stupid light up Cinderella shirt at Walmart at like 12:00 the night before. FINE, she wore that.
She also did NOT want to wear her twirl skirt. She wanted to wear her new pettiskirt by itself. B tried to fight with her and threaten her w/ not wearing her crown or that she couldn't wear the pettiskirt at all w/out another skirt b/c you could see her diaper. I put her crown on and told him that I would take the skirt and see if we could coax her into wearing it later. I did and we did. and she got a lot of compliments.

4. JEANNE: Your husband must've been giving my husband notes, b/c we came out of the GF gift shop w/ a pair of glass slippers. She is wearing them today at daycare (with socks b/c I said so!) They are about a half size too big but he didn't want her to outgrow them soon. He said she wanted them, it was her birthday and he wasn't gonna fight w/ her over it. So, you didn't even TRY to say NO? FINE.

5. THERE WAS NO CAKE. Okay, maybe you didn't hear me...THERE WAS NO CAKE!!!!! Somehow the cake order was NOT made and there was no cake. The manager gave us 2 of their pre-made cakes free but they were still cold from being in the freezer and noone was impressed. Which made me sad. But what could I do, they couldn't pull a cake out of thin air and they didn't charge me for the other cakes so why not...

I'll try to get some pics up for you guys later.
...t.

Well of course Lilys need glass slippers! I can't believe NO CAKE!!! But I'm sure Lily never even noticed her replacement was fresh from the freezer. WE WANT PICTURES!!!!!!!!

 

[HeatherSue]

Okay, I love most of you and I certainly don't want this to be the end of my modeling career. So, here is a double chin and twirl factor picture. I'm still not posting the one from behind!

I gotta tell yah, it was a lot of fun making something that I could fit into!

 

[jham]

I started back on WW a week ago JUST BECAUSE OF THE FEBRUARY DISMEET!! And thanks to you all I lost 5.4 lbs! I am telling you this so I will have to be accountable to you and I MUST STICK WITH IT THIS TIME!!!

 

[Cheeseball]

WOW! You have been a busy lady! You have done a great job with these outfits and your DD's are cute as can be!

Why thank you!

Oh my goodness, you did such a great job!!! Love the modeling pics too!

I have a niece who is 10 and is very large for her age, and she has to shop in the adult section as well, so this gives me a good idea for a present for her! Again, great job!!

For the grass skirts you might also try a paper warehouse/ card and factory outlet/ party city type store. I have lived in several parts of the country and can't remember all the store names so I may be scrambling them....

THANK YOU! I didn't even think of a party store!! I have several near by and will check them out!

My Joann's had some before they set up for back to school. I am headed there in a bit-I can check for you if you like?

Thanks! I will let you know if I can't find any at my party stores and I may take you up on your offer!

And thank you everyone else for your suggestion of orientaltrading, I didn't even think to check online!

Great job!! I once lost 35 lbs on WW, it's a great program!!

Renae

 

[CastleCreations]

oh sorry...(ahem) nice twirl...

 

[disneymommieof2]

Very beautiful and fun!! Did you put that on again just to get a twirl picture from the front? I think Morgan will love it!!

 

[CastleCreations]

I remembered my question!

Does anyone know where to buy green grass hula skirts? I want to make the girls outfits something like this-

(not exactly, but something like it) and can't find grass skirts anywhere. I found a brown one at Hobby Lobby, but I would rather use green ones. Thanks!

Renae

Hi Renae...check your local party supply store..they should have them, or at least a table cloth that you can cut up...good luck, looks cute!

 

[karebear1]

Okay, I love most of you and I certainly don't want this to be the end of my modeling career. So, here is a double chin and twirl factor picture. I'm still not posting the one from behind!

I gotta tell ya, it was a lot of fun making something that I could fit into!

Now that's the spirit! Not only a regular, everyday twirl factor pic, but a Double Chin, twirl factor pic! ...... Your twirl is a real winner.... but your chin(s) are to die for!! (Although- I have to say that my triple chin could beat you double anyday. )

AND.........Since you only love most of us... I'm feeling a little leery that I might not be amongst the group, so, just in case.... I'm sending you this to say thanks for posting the double chin, twirl factor pic! It's the best b-day present I ever got!

WOW Jhammie!! GREAT JOB!! I belong to WW too, but haven't gone since I joined! That's bad right??? Maybe I'll start back again and we can lose together???

 

[karebear1]

Why thank you!

I have a niece who is 10 and is very large for her age, and she has to shop in the adult section as well, so this gives me a good idea for a present for her! Again, great job!! :

Renae

Really??? Can we see pics of you modeling those customs when you make them too?

Heather- you're a TRENDSETTER!!

 

[Cheeseball]

Really??? Can we see pics of you modeling those customs when you make them too?

Heather- you're a TRENDSETTER!!

Sure! I don't think I can get my twirl on quite as well as Heather though!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just finished up Joy's Minnie Dress, Minnie is her favorite Disney character, really the only one she recognizes (she's only 15 months!) When we went last time, she got sick and had a pretty rough trip, and we bought her this large, soft, pink, plush Minnie doll and she sleeps with it now and just loves her Minnie. It's one of the few words she can say! So I made her a Minnie dress and cannot wait until we go again in Sept and she sees real life Minnie!

I looked up some pics of Joy with her Minnie when she first got it in Disney World:

And just for the fun of it, here is a picture of myself, my hubby, girls, and parents last time we went!

Renae

 

[jham]

It's the best b-day present I ever got!

What did you just say?????

 

[disneymommieof2]

Whew! It was a BUSY weekend. We all survived the party even though mother nature was threatening to drowned us in buckets and buckets of rain!! It did finally stop raining after about the first hour of the party and then the sun came out and the kids got to play on the pirate ship. We also went to see Wall- E yesterday. Although I forgot to have lucas wear his wall-e outfit-
Here's the pictures

Sophia enjoyed puddle jumping

The other little boy is my nephew. He stayed with us after the party. the kids were exhausted!
I only got one picture of Lucas in his pirate outfit but it was after he was fully water logged. So I guess He'll be dressing up another day for those pictures.

FANTASTIC!!! well, after our Dis weekend and me avoiding the cameras AGAIN I started back on south beach today. So, we can suffer through this together. Great job!!! I am hoping to join you in the losing soon.

Happy Birthday Karen

I will post pics soon.

OH and Lily said when she was 3 she would be bigger and could wear her big girl underpants. she hasn't worn them yet but she has gone to the potty more often than not since saturday.

...t.

 

[disneymommieof2]

Renae- your dd looks adorable!! great Job!! I love the satiny looking ruffles I think it makes it look fancier! I bet Minnie will love it too!!

Happy Birthday Karen!!

YAY LILY!!!
Sophia has been going on the potty some too! But she just turned 2 so I don't have too much hope that the diapers will be gone soon.

That Minnie dress is so cute! And Joy is adorable!!! Love all the photos.

That party looks like so much fun! And I love how the pirate ship turned out! My kids saw it and were quite envious!

 

[jham]

kinda boring, but I was going through my photos and I don't think I posted this one. I made this skirt for DD10's friend. I made a similar skirt for this girl's little sister. (oh and this is my pseudo dress form from Hobby Lobby that Sugarbees picked up for me on sale for $25, she has a smaller one that works better for little stuff)

 

[ms_mckenna]

Here's a top I finished last night for breakfast at CP:

So sweet! I love your DD's hair!!

Give those babies a paci and get yourself some rest
I also wanted to say I do know what you are talking about with not missing CPS. I am actually afraid to have them in my home so often since we homeschool and all of my kids (besides Katie) are school aged. So I do not know if we will foster again. Katie has been saying her baby sister is very far away and she is going to take an airplane to China to pick her up. I have no clue where she leaned that
Don't be afraid of IVF. Jon and Kate used IUI (artificial insemination). We did many IUI cycles and IVF.
I second swaddling. We had to swaddle Katie until she was almost 9 months old. The girl has security issues J/K I think it was because she was a preemie.
Strangers always try to take her binki and ask for it all of the time. We usually get the “ohh…you are to old for that, let me have it!” followed by them physically trying to take it. Then Katie screams in fear of having a stranger try to touch her. It is horrible. I know she is too old for it, leave her alone. I used to say nicely “she won’t take it to kindergarten” I have since changed it to college .

I do know what you mean about CPS being in your home. I cannot imagine homeschooling and having them here. Thinking about that and the rollercoaster ride they put you through. We have been fairly certain from the start that Little D is not staying though we would love him to. I had come to have this same feeling about Miss D. Well between what the investigator said to me Friday and what the transporter said to me Friday night they have already gotten my hopes up that she is the "one". Course she was VERY free on info that she had. I am so irratated with myself for thinking that way and letting them get me started because I so know better. I looked at her last night and then said to DH that when the new Princess comes to Disney we will have to take her. DH reminded me that we have not been to even a two week trial yet and that we have not seen for ourselves what is going on with the case yet.

So cute that Katie wants to go to China to pick up a baby sister. Maybe she is right lol.

I cannot believe that strangers try and take her binky!!!! I have always hated when people got near my children. Alex has gotten so many people who put hands on him to pray over him. I understand that they are doing a positive thing but they rarely ask before doing it. I just am shocked though that someone would try and take her binky out of her mouth! How scary for her!

I usually don't do this, but if you are a praying type person, my friend needs prayers for strength. At work last night, my coworker...my friend, got a call that her 17 year old son has been murdered. I have never seen such pain...of a mother losing a child. She lost a daughter years ago, and this is just a total shock...please hug your little ones, and those not so little, today.

Saying prayers how horrible for her and her family.

Simplicity & McCalls both make patterns for nursery sets. For the crib sheet & skirt, to me, it's easier to just measure & go from there than to use the pattern but then I hate wrestling with huge pattern pieces & huge pieces of fabric. Also, I like knowing that the ruffle on teh skirt is x amount bigger than the flat piece so that I know how tight to ruffle it.!

Thanks I am going to check it out. My only thing is I want straight edges without ruffles so I am hoping I can find something like that.

Glad to hear that the babies are sleeping better! Yeah! Lilly is waking up at around 10:00 pm every night and I feed her and then she goes back to sleep. And she sleeps to about 4:00 am ! She goes back to sleep and sleeps again to about 9:00 am. And goes back to sleep again for about 3 more hours! I know I have been lucky! It makes me think that I can survive our trip to WDW if she keeps up this schedule. I really don't want to cancel it!

You mentioned that Princess A had stopped breathing once. I wanted to tell you about the baby monitor that I have. It is by BebeSounds and it is a motion monitor. If the baby doesn't move (and it seems to monitor even the littlest moves) an alarm sounds on the monitor. I've used it with all three of my girls and it gives me a safer feeling about SIDS. We are still vigilant about taking precautions (no blankets, soft pillows, stuffed animals, etc.) but it allows me to sleep at night! I honestly don't know how effective it is at detecting non-motion but like I said it gives me a little peace of mind. Also, it doesn't work as well once the babies are older and they can move around their crib. The motion sensor isn't that big and if a child gets to one side of the crib our detector has gone off but only b/c the girls weren't anywhere on it (it actually goes underneath the crib mattress) and had rolled to one end of the crib. Just a thought if you need another monitor!

Wow am i jealous! We are trying to get Little D on a schedule! He is fighting up tooth and nail! lol. I will check into that monitor. Princess has ruined us for all other children ... I am constantly checking these two to see if they are breathing.

Big Give sets!!!

Minnie AK set - still needs a bow!!

SpongeBob set. This is not from me!!!! This is from Emily. It was her idea and it's what she helped me with last night. (I should have let her help with the skirt instead of the tank!!) Poor SpongeBob's nose and cheeks are a little wonky!! I couldn't see what I was doing with her on my lap!! Oh well, just gives it more character!

So so cute! I think Sponge Bob looks great!

My errands have for the day have been run. At the end of the day I am so worn out. All I want to do right now is sleep. I have come to the conclusion that I need to eliminate some of the things that I am currently obligated to. I have decided that even though the extra money is nice to have the extra stress is not. I am going to quit my job at Dairy Queen decorating cakes. My grandparents have come to rely on me for things that they need help with and I would rather be around to help them. Nobody else will help them with what they need and that's just not fair to them. DH has promised too many times that he is going to find a second job and he just won't do it which puts the financial burden on me. It's just not fair to me. Maybe with me quitting this job he will realize that he needs to find a second one. At the end of the week I end up with no time off. He gets two days off a week and he does absolutely nothing. I may have to eliminate the stress of him before too long. Thanks for letting me vent.

Hugs to you hun I hope things get better soon!

That's where I got it!

LOL I like your picture even better than the one from online!

I made something tonight!!!! I made two bowls, but one of them is really awfull so I won't show ya'll that one.
This is Amber holding my bead bowl.

Very very cool! Love the colors!

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!

Hugs to you! We think DD will have TMJ eventually as well because of her jawline they are waiting till she completely develops to do anything.

I really likehow you changed this aorund! It looks really good ! I love the other sets too!

oooooh and I got some fabric the other day. I love Michael Miller and I'm hoping to disneyfy these fabrics by teaming with some disney fabrics I'm having sent to me by a lovely diser Exciting

So cool that you knit! I wish I could lol. I love these fabrics they are GREAT!

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...

Oh my I love that! So cute!

LOL...yes, dd was blessed w/tons of hair...even when she was born. When I had an u/s at 32 wks, the u/s tech said do you see that stuff moving in there? I said yes. She said that's her hair. LOL This was her at 5 days old:

lol

She is soooo sweet~! Little D came to us in teh same blanket from teh hospital lol.

I finished dd's and ds's Wall-E dress and shirt. I also finish the BIG GIVE outfit for Isabel.>I will have to take a picture of it later, but here is dd and ds Wall-E outfit..I also made a matching one for her doll.

So cute! I love that fabric!

Here is Claire in her Pooh Criss-Cross dress I made for our dinner at Crystal Palace. This is my first project that was not a pillowcase or pre-shirred
Close-up so you can see Pooh bear in the green fabric...do all 5 year olds have this cheesy smile?

I do think most 5 year olds have that same smile lol. Great job on your first project that is not a pillowcase or pre shirred!

Finally got the Wall-e shirts off of my old camera. They wouldn't let me bring the camera into the movie theatre, so I put my old/smaller camera in my bag. The kids really wanted a pic with a wall-e poster. Poor spoiled "city" kids went to see the movie in a podunk Mississippi town that had NO posters. I tried to take one on a bench, but it came out terrible. I can literally see cooper's tonsils! OK, so the ones that I got after the movie

I think they are precious!

I finished my MAW Big Give #3 outfit. Since a lot of you said the skirt would be okay for a 9 year old, I decided to send it and just make myself a purple one I also made a tshirt to match.

I love you goofy! Would love to see a closeup!

I'm so excited...I finally learned how to snorkle...well I mean, I know the logistics of it, but I've been terrified of the "breathing under water" thing, well I really want to snorkle on Castaway Cay, and I went out and bought one and the first time didn't go so well, this time it was fun. I managed to figure it out, and got a nice sunburn on my back. Next time, I want to try it, where there is actually fish, and not just the bottom of my pool. I did manage to see a dead wasp, bee, and a piece of a noodle that broke off...I though those things were supposed to float..

Congrats on learning to snorkle! I went many many years ago in Grand Cayman and had a BLAST!

We got the most fantastic sets and finally got to get some pics of the kdis in them.. I think I already shared anastasia's .. here is the little ones!

Those are beautiful did you make them? I adore smoking!

oh, here it is..

So so cute! I am sure they look adorable all together!

QUICKY SUNDRESSES

I love that you added a ruffle to the bottom! Great idea!

At least I got to finish the project I was doing!
A skirt for Nikki's best friend's bday. I am also making Nikki one except hers is a bit different. I ran out of material for her friends so I had to adjust the waist band and hem band. Also her friend is a lot taler then she is.
Please forgive the kids in their pj's they are OLD pj's and Nik wouldn't change for the pictures ad f course Kyle couldn't be left out!

Oh and please excuse the messy playroom!

Very cute! Great twirl factor!

FYI, my son is named Kyle, too! He turns two tomorrow!

Happy early bday Kyle!!!

I finished my Robin+5 BIG GIVE outfit today!! This is for her 11 year old daughter, Morgan. She's big for her age, so I wanted to make her something that looks like a kid outfit because she has to buy grown-up sizes. I'm hoping she doesn't think it looks too "little kid-ish".


I thought I should definitely do "The Megan"!

There is a "twirl factor" photo, but you don't need to see me from the back!

I used the tween flare skirt pattern from ycmt as a base shape for the panels in the skirt. But, I made them flare out a lot more and I added 2 extra panels to make it big enough.

Very very cute I am sure she will lvoe it!
