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

[twob4him]

I vote D!!! I spent 12 hours one day hiking around Inverness looking for the Lochness monster and didn't see a thing. Who knew...he's in Jersey!!!

I drove by that place when we were on "holiday" in Europe! I didn't see him either...

LOVE these pics- it makes me wnat to be at the beach with you! And I vote A. NOTHING beats a shark at the beach!

I was thinking about going but I think DH has put the kabosh on that dream. If I am able to convince him by some miracle I will probably end up bringing DD with me so we would get out own room. I hope your friend can go.

I was away for a few days and have many pages to catch up on.

Awwww darn it....I really wanted to meet you...I really hope you can make it with your DD....let's see how this all works out....keep us posted

To everyone going through such rough times right now.

Thanks to HeatherSue for letting me use her Big Give tee as inspiration for this one:

Lisa...it came out great!!! I love Tink up above! Great job!

I so miss the beach. We live too far away from the beach to make the trip very often. And I vote a shark......maybe a dolphin?

This is my stash. There is another large clear bucket with scraps etc. This is all that is done of my sewing room lol. Don't look at the shelf under the fabric because that is not done yet lmao.

I love how you organized your fabric up on a shelf like that! Very cool!




LOL at the clown alert! Your DD 10 is such a pretty girl.

Thank you very much!

So here is my random picture! DD dared my son yesterday to take a bit out of his cake.... Of course he did.

And then thought it was rather funny!

Thankfully I adore him and it was his bday lol. Otherwise he would have been in a LOT of trouble!

Your son is so handsome especially with cake all over I just love it! Happy Birthday!!!



I am so tired I can't multiQuote correctly I did finish a top and twirl skirt for someone! I am making one other thing and then I will be done! It came out great! Do you want to see pics on here before I send it???? Hmmmm I think I will keep it a surprise.... Sorry Ya'll will just have to wait!

And on a sadder note, my DH's dentist's 20 yr old son was riding his motorcycle and was hit by an oncoming car driven by an 18 yr old, high as a kite. He didn't make it I feel so bad for the family....I am sure prayers would be greatly appreciated


Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you the answer to the quiz.....they were dolphins!

 

[mytwotinks]

So maybe this one would be more accurate

Look at poor Maddy no wonder we ended up at the Pedatric urgent care instead of the Magic Kingdom

She didnt get to enjoy the breakfast with her Favorite, Minnie After breakfast we ended up going back to the townhose and then to urgent care. Where she had to have 2 breathing treatments and a SHOT of steriods!

Did she have a reaction to something she ate?

HEY GUYS! Bigdisgrandma may need our help. She's working on making shirts for everyone in their MAW trip. She just asked if she should make dresses or skirts for the females. I told her that I thought skirts would be the simplest. Anyone have a link for an easy skirt that an adult or child could wear? I'm sure there's something in the bookmarks, but I thought I'd ask if someone had a tried and try source of instructions before I started the dig.

This tutorial is decent and jham's 30 minute skirt looks good as well.

The simplest skirt in my opinion, you cut a peice that is whatever your desired length is and double (or 1.5, depends on how full and twirly you want it to bo) your waist measurement. Sew up the side seam, and make a casing for elastic. You can add a contrast band if you desire.

Thats how I made this skirt

So many sad stories tonight. I will be praying for comfort for all of the families involved in these tragedies. It is hard to believe that there could ever be peace after losing a child, but there can be comfort in faith.

Hi everyone, I am a beginner sewer and I am thinking of making myself and my twin sister who are 28 some nice basic summer swing tops in a disney theme for our trip. I am wondering if anyone knows any online sites where I can purchase Mickey head buttons in red or any color really! I am in Australia and thus there is a lack of disney stuff in our sewing shops So if anyone has any good online sites where I can get disney stuff for my project I would be very greatful!! Thanks heaps

 

[Tykatmadismomma]

No she had a cough that showed up half way through our trip. On Friday evening it had gotten so bad she couldnt breathe. When she was 6 monthes old she got RSV and ever since if she gets a simple cold she has to have breathing treatments, in fact her Dr told us her lungs are scarred like a childs with asthma. A strange thing on our trip was the Chef at Chef Mickeys did not come out to let us know what she could and couldnt have off of the buffet, She is allergic to Peanuts, and eggs. She only ate watermelon and honeydew.
On a Happy note she is much better and her 3rd birthday was this weekend!

I give up! I have been clicking multi-quote as I've checked in today and I wen to reply and had 47,000 quotes! WAY over my image limit. I'm EXHAUSTED because I have been cleaning the house all day well, everything but the kids' rooms which I am forcing them to clean themselves. Thank goodness Luke is a hard worker! Love all the new outfits, all the random photos (I have lots of those to share, they are just on the computer I don't use that often) and and prayers for those in need.

 

[teresajoy]

There were some really pretty things posted today!!! I loved all of them! T!!!! You got CASED!!!!! How cool is that!!!! I love all the random pictures you guys are posting!!!

Thanks Heather for bringing up my green pooh



fabric!

One time when Heather was about 3, she came running down the stairs at our house yelling, "David is reading Teresa's brown diarrhea!!!"

He was reading my diary.

I have a really great picture of one of Heather's first modeling gigs! She was modeling some workout wear!!! She has absolutely FORBIDDEN me to post them though!!!! Lucky for her my scanner isn't working!


My prayers will be with everyone that needs them tonight.

 

[glorib]

You all need to SLOW DOWN! I worked last night and am again tonight and I get on here and there are a gillion new posts! I can't keep up! Anyway, from what I've skimmed, it looks like there are some FAB new customs! I will have to look more closely tomorrow night - at home! Hooray!

So, no more fun till tomorrow night, ok?

I've found the same problem, luckily I'm not going until Dec 09 so I still have a fair bit of time to keep looking. If it's any help, my local lincraft seems to have nothing fabric-wise (although it does have quite a few little iron-on disney appliques), but the Spotlight store had more fabric - especially in the bedding section (ie to make cot bedding). That stuff looks a bit young though, and like you I'm looking to make some adult tops.


By the way, this is my first post on this thread - I've been "window-shopping" for about 6 months now, but still haven't actually sewn anything! As soon as I do I'll post a pic.

So sorry about your Desntist's son. My db was recently in a motorcycle crash and he is still in the hospital/rehab. He is just not healing as they thought he would. I will keep his family in my prayers.

ANd yeah! I had feeling it was dolphins! My dd said shark...but no, I said dolphins. We were recently on a nature preserve beach and we saw dolphins. they were so close! It was really cool!

 

[CastleCreations]

I love all of the new stuff listed. Great Peter Pan shirt. It's stunning. I would totally wear it.
I just wanted to tell all of our Texas friends to please stay safe today!! We will be praying for you all...

 

[snubie]

That's my "vacation hair" I look like a poodle in the humidity (even though I have straight hair!) so braids control it somewhat! If you've peeked at my TR, you'll see that I wear the braids in Disney too.

If I go to the dismeet in Feb, will you braid my hair? Pretty Please with sugar on top? Humidity and my hair do not play well together.

On that topic, is my DH the only one afraid for me to go? He is worried about me meeting Internet strangers in real life. I am not sure but maybe he thinks you are all a bunch of serial sewers with a tendency for murder. (Has a seam ripper ever been used as a murder weapon?). He's worried about the money too but that is a whole other topic. I admit I am a bit nervous to go myself but it is more because I am a bit on the shy side and get anxious meeting new people. And it would be the first time I travel alone with DD.

And more on a similar topic - DH did not like me participating in the first BIG GIVE. He is very skittish about sending things to people online with the idea that it could all be a scam. I have not participated in any of the follow-up gives as DH asked me not to and I feel I should respect his wishes on this. Any advice on how I can convince DH that this is not a scam?

I bought scrapbooking embellishments - they are buttons with sticky stuff on the back, it peels off easily and then you can sew them on. I can't find much Mickey stuff here in Canada, just Disney Scrapbooking stuff. HTH!

Ok, here are a few more.

Front:

Back:

This is an attempt at a pattern before I use my Disney fabric. I really do better without a pattern. They confuse me since I don't know what they are talking about half the time

Here is my shirred Ariel, my daughter's favorite princess.

I love the patchwork skirts. Is that a pattern?

Those came out so cute and your little girl is adorable!
I love the patchwork skirts too! They actually aren't that hard. boring at the beginning since I zig zag the edge of every sq but once it all starts coming together it is fun to watch.
Every one here really helped me with mine and the math since I hate math! The one in the book marks is really good. For my DD8 her waist is 22inches so the yoke row I made 40 inches then just doubled and doubled and doubled I used 6 inch sq I originally needed 56 6 inch sq but then I decided I wanted an even number of each material so I made 60 sq total. 20 of each material. With my new one I am on that is what I started with but I got a few more of each material since I didn't want to leave extra fabric laying around! I think I ended up with 22 or 24 6 inch sq. I figure the more twirl the better!

Is it bad that my stash is more than half the size of LisaZoe's stash, and I've only made about 7-8 garments total? I just hate the idea of *missing* a fabric that I like - what if I want it later and it's not available anymore? Like many here, I did the same thing with scrapbooking supplies (or, as my DH termed it all, "scrap cr*p") Now I've become a fabric collector... heck, the scrap stuff was easier to store. I really should just stop buying fabric until I've used a LOT of what I already have. But... But... But... Joann's... coupon... burning... hole... in pocket...

New fabric question: Do you only buy fabric when you have a specific purpose for it in mind? And if you do NOT have a specific purpose in mind, how do you decide how much of a particular fabric to buy????

I feel like I have become the queen of 1 yard fabric buying! Unless it is really cheap then I buy more. I have a hard time paying full price for fabric so I wait until i have a coupon or it is on sale. My dd is itching for that silky Tink fabric but I can't pay $10 a yard! So I told her to wait until I have a coupon I could use on it and I will get it for her.

I've finally made some new things to share.

The first is a bowling shirt for Sam for our trip to WDW Sept. 19th-26th
The Donald on the front is one of the designs that came with my embroidery machine. I had forgotten what poor quality these designs are. It puckered something fierce!

The back is my first pieced applique. It's a little wonky looking, but was really fun to do!

Here is a picture of my Sammy modeling his new shirt (over his pirate pajamas)!

Finally here is a picture of Jack in his Batman cape. I just threw this together last night, it's a little wonky too. It looks terribly wrinkled since he insisted on sleeping in it (but, I think he likes it).

It came out great!

Alright here are my random pics.
This is Roxie. She has turned a really pretty dark redish color.

This is a picture of my teddy bear that I got on ebay. He is identical to one that I got for my 8th birthday.

And this is a pic of a painting that my mother made for me. It is the only painting that I have of hers. This pic is being posted for Tnkrbelle565.

Love the painting! Roxy is so cute! Something about dogs ears kills me I love them!

The twirly skirt Tutorial in the book marks is easy and really cute. I saw some one posted the ink before I responded. That is the one I used for Nik's friends skirt and I just finished Nik's yesterday.

So maybe this one would be more accurate

Look at poor Maddy no wonder we ended up at the Pedatric urgent care instead of the Magic Kingdom

She didnt get to enjoy the breakfast with her Favorite, Minnie After breakfast we ended up going back to the townhose and then to urgent care. Where she had to have 2 breathing treatments and a SHOT of steriods!

Poor things! I sure hope she is better!

Awwwwww, your DH is just trying to protect you! But the way you put it really made me laugh! My poor seam ripper gets used to much to be a murder weapon....its too dull Did your DH read the thread(s) and pre-trip reports of these people? I think thats why we chose make-a-wish cause it is definately legitimate.
On a similiar note, I am making something for a fellow Diser right now and then I would really like to participate in a Big Give. I have limited time and most definately resourses....both financially and fabric wise....so that is why I haven't done anything yet. However I am planning on it for the future (just so you all know ...you know...in case you were wondering )

Hey! This is my cake decorating / toilet bowl cleaning hair-do! It keeps all the little whispy's out of your face. And maybe, just maybe I wear it more often than that, with little daisys tucked into the elastics?

AAAAAAAACCCCCKKKKKK! Are they STILL making fanny packs? I went to NYC as a Girl Guide (Ranger) in the late 80's and we all bought them and wore them - BUT we were too cool to tuck in our uniform blouses, and when our leader saw us she almost had a coronary. We all looked pregnant. Twenty teenage girls in Girl Guide uniforms prancing around NYC looking like we were all 6 months pg!!! But that was the 80's - fanny packs are illiegal now aren't they?

twob4him - I love your signature. That song always chocks me up but also makes me smile!

 

[glorib]

grrrrr. I just got a speeding ticket on my way home from work. I haven't gotten a ticket since high school. And that was a long time ago. I was soooo tired and just distracted thinking about one of the babies I took care of last night - did I chart that med? I know I gave it, but did I chart it . . . flashing lights. . . ma'am did you know you were speeding? I'm so mad at myself. There goes my fabric money for the month. . .

good night, all. I need some sleep!
