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

Ok you ladies need to slow down because I am having a wild week lol. I can't keep up!

I need opinions. I am redoing the nursery. It needs to be unisex but I cannot find anything I REALLY like. So I came up with this. I have a bunch of Sock Monkey fabric that I bought and have been waiting for something that I REALLY wanted to do with it. I am thinking of using it. I can add more colors in probably yellow and orange to make it less blue. So do you think these prints would be unisex enough for a nursery? I think I am going to do a patchwork quilt. I just wish I could figure out something for the mobile.

That fabric would make a great nursery.

Good evening! I posted on the last thread (at least I think it was the last thread, you all move along fast, so it might have been two thread ago:laughing: ). I posted some pics on that thread of the Jedi Robe I made for my son, it was my first sewing project --- and I thought my last, but you all inspired me to try making something for my daughter. I just finished making her a dress. I've learned quite a few things, the first being the fact that I can't sew in a straight line to save my life!:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Anyway, here are a few pictures of the dress I made. I only have one of my daughter modeling it because she was being a little stinker!

Beautiful dress.
 
OK. CINDY dress not working out as planned, really you guys shouldn't let me think up my own stuff!! The thread keeps breaking and I clearly can't even applique a SQUARE. But I was already having fits b/c the book was not printed straight and that's why I was appliqueing the squares to beging w/ b/c I could not get a 1/4" seam on some pages w/out interfering w/ the picture. GRRR..So I decided to buy a new book tomorrow, hope it's printed straighter and sew it together like everyone else. OR just do something totally different. Maybe just a blue skirt w/ a white underlayer (like Cindy) and a blue peasant top w/ cindy on it. Of course I clearly cannot APPLIQUE her on. This is why I don't try new stuff. Why would I try something new 3 days before I leave for WDW...:confused3

This is the kind of neurotic freak that I am.

For now I am going to get to my minnie dot outfit and take a break. OF course I had a frakenpattern lined up for that and now am rethinking EVER altering anything ever again. I'm probably over reacting. I really altered the pattern for little's minnie pants and shirt and that was cute. BUT right now I just dont' think it's safe to meddle w/ the unknown. I have to finish SOMETHING tonight. and it's 9:00. :sad2:
Gotta go figure it out.

Step back. Take a deep breath. Jump back in and you will be fine.
 
Denise, do you mind if I borrow from your idea to make a skirt for DD10 for our Feb trip? She wants something with Minnie Dot and I love the way you used the black fabrics and the ruffle. It makes it look a little more "big girl" I love it!

Of course! I'd be honored.

I LOVE IT! What a great nursery theme! Where did you buy the fabric? I was thinking of making the kids sock monkeys for Christmas, and if I could make them PJ's to match it would be perfect!! I don't think the fabric is too boyish, 'cause it's so kitchy KWIM?!?

Great idea!

Ok here are the Fancy Nancy items that I made for Jenna. I figured up the cost to make them versus buying them and I saved a total of $14 on these two items.
This is Jenna's Fancy Shmancy tutu skirt:
S2010256.jpg

I didn't have any flowers so we used bows instead. Jenna likes it better with the bows.
This is the crown that my grandpa bought her.
S2010005.jpg

Here is the Fancy Shmancy purse. It is similar to the FN one that we saw at Target. Jenna picked out the fabric and decided how the purse should be decorated. She even designed the handle to the purse. It is a red ribbon with metallic purple rick-rack down the middle and gold ribbon on both sides of the purple.
S2010006.jpg

This is Jenna's FN poodle outfit to match the one that the FN doll is wearing.
S2010007.jpg

This is the back of the skirt.
S2010008.jpg
 
Here is an outfit that I made Jenna because I was trying to cheer her up. We went past the hotel where her father has been staying for the last month and a half. As we passed she asked me why her dad doesn't want to meet her. I felt so horrible for her, because she sounded like she was about to start crying. I explained to her that he is trying to get some things straightened out and that he would meet her when he is ready to. I wanted to cheer her up so I offered to buy her some fabric at Hancock. She cheered right up. I love that girl's thinking. Buying fabric cheers me up too. :rotfl:

So this is the outfit that I made her. She got so many compliments today when she wore it. One lady is going to call me to make one for her DD. :cool1:

S2010009.jpg

You can't see just how pretty the fabric is. It is the Michael Miller Flamingos fabric. That girl has good taste.
S2010010.jpg

Okay. I've calmed down. No more cheerleading neccessary.

I am not going to let my neurotic tendencies get the best of me. Just because things are not going the way I intended does not mean I have to panic. Or cry. Or yell. What does it matter? Really? She can wear her AK twirl top from last year, it's short but ok if she wears shorts under it. I can make her a pillowcase top w/ the minnie dot (seems a shame to waist my good fabric on a pillowcase....NO we're not going down that road)

See, I'm calm and not freaking out and I don't even care that she won't have customs to wear.

Or that my mom bought her red mickey crocs that are a size too big and they don't have her size and it's the only store w/in a half hour that sells them and Lily fell in love with them and was singing the Barney I love you song to them.

I am going to go to Walmart (my least favorite place on the planet) and look around the fabric department and go through my patterns and figure it out. If I don't C'est La Vie....right Megastephanie?

Good night for now, though I doubt I'll be sleeping. It's over rated anyway.:thumbsup2

T-Beri, I have heard you can throw crocs in the dryer for a bit to shrink them-maybe that would help?
 
I haven't read the last 6 or so pages, but will try to catch up in the morning (who needs to work anyways:rotfl2: ).

Anyway...I got my machine today and successfully made a pillowcase for DD.:banana: :banana: :banana: She will only use a travel size pillow:confused3 and the one I had was gross and boring. So, I made her a pillowcase with really cute daisy fabric to match her room. I didn't get a photo yet (it is under her head), but I will definitely post one in the morning! I know it isn't that exciting, or fancy, but I am pretty proud at how it turned out...not perfect, but not too shabby either.

Alright, off to bed after I clean up so DH doesn't get mad...I took over the kitchen table since my craft table in our room is covered with scrapbooking stuff.:rolleyes1

I think you have lots of joie de vivre - you don't need to doubt yourself! But here's what I do when I need a little pick me up. It's lunch, just for you - don't share it: take one baguette (crusty French bread), slice it lenghwise, top with the very best brie cheese you can find, melt in the oven for a few minutes, then top with sliced tomatoes and a little cracked pepper and sea salt. Serve with a beautiful dark beer, and watch something trashy on TV. Bon appetit cherie! Mwah-Mwah! (That's a Montreal two cheek kiss)
 
So I need some inspiration! I'm working on curtains for DD9 for her HM room and I can't seem to get my butt into gear. I've had the fabric for about 6 mo and now I'm finally working on it. The top is going to be a puff valance and then a shear behind it..I know super easy, but I just can't seem to get it done.

Plus the other projects I have keep backing up. I'm actually banned from Joanne's until I finish them:confused3 . How does everyone finish their projects? How do you stay inspiried to finish?
A trip to Disney is inspiring me.

I could fly out of Logan...or Manchester (Southwest)...I'll keep you posted if/when I find a good deal. Thank you!!!
I have flown out of Manchester and it was a really nice airport but I’m south of Boston so the ride home really stinks. I have a free round trip on Jet Blue-it’s actually 2 one way trips so I can use it on the more expensive flight for both of us. Jet Blue schedule is only open til 1/31 right now. I do like that SouthWest still doesn’t charge a change fee if the price goes down but JetBlue is a lot more convenient for us.

Dallas' Wall E outfit! I made the pants about 2 weeks ago and had everything for the shirt, but was putting it off, so I finished it up last night!

Oh, you ask why the word Wall E is crooked! I have no idea besides it was midnight! I swear I made sure it was straight! because I knew it would ruin the whole shirt if it wasn't!!! Dallas doesn't even notice it though.
That is so cool!!!!

Hi, I finally made it over. I was very depressed yesterday (thanks for the birthday wishes) because the ent (ear, nose and throat) doctor I was supposed to see postponed the appointment to next week because she is stuck in the airport in Atlanta. The new appointment is next week. Fortunately, my husband is smarter than I am and told me to call back and find out if another doctor in the practice could see me sooner, so I am going in Friday. I know my problems pale in comparison to Riley's and others, but I have had earaches and sinus headaches since the end of May so I was really hoping that yesterday would be the day I would get help for them. I can wait until Friday though.

Love all the new stuff. Maybe I will try to sew today to take my mind off of things.

T: I wouldn't worry too much about the cake. I ordered one for Megan the first year we went to the princess lunch in Norway and they forgot it. We ended up going to Beaches and Cream and the cms turned out the light and sang to her when they brought her ice cream. She was much more excited than she would have been had they plopped a cake on the table at lunch. I know I am talking to you, but just try to roll with it and you'll have a great time.
You poor thing! Hope you can find some relief soon!

Hello ladies! Sorry to be such a stranger around here, but I always seem to end up in "catch-up"/window shopper mode rather than having time to post. You ladies amaze me as always with your creativity and productivity.

I'm posting today because I have a few things to share. These are the autograph books that I made for the MAW Big Give #2. I haven't scrapped in ages. These were fun projects.

And here are the outfits that I made the kids for the 4th of July.

I think those will definitely work for a nursery for any baby. If you wanted to make it more for one sex, you could make dust ruffles with solid broadcloth in different colors pulled from these prints. For example, you could have a pink dust ruffle for a girl and brown for a boy. :goodvibes

BTW - Although I'm not scared of sock monkeys, I have to admit I don't totally understand their appeal. The fabric is sure cute, though.
 
I have been wanting to post to this thread forever! I was around when the original thread was started (the first part one!) and then got busy and never actually sewed (or finished) anything. Well I finally finished this twirl skirt for my youngest dd!

I am going to sew some decorative buttons on that strip of yellow ribbon as soon as I decide which ones I definitely want to use.

I made this skirt with the original idea of having it to use this summer, but then I got to thinking it would be so cute to have some custom stuff for Disneyworld next May. You can't see, but she is wearing white bike shorts under these. If it ends up being too short next May, I can add another ruffle to add some length. It looked really short when I was holding it up, but I think it looks just the right length actually on her ... right now. But if she shoots up 2 inches by May then we're in trouble, ha ha!

Here is a Euro ruffle that I added to one of the white blocks

Here is an inset ruffle and the yellow ribbon for the buttons

Here is a row of pompons that I added as well

I posted this on several message boards because I'm really proud that I actually FINISHED something, lol. I'm notorious for starting a project and quitting half way through! :rotfl:
That came out so great! You should be proud!!!!

I actually went to Walmart today. I never go to Walmart but it was nearby and I had some time to waste. Today is DD's first day at day camp/preschool. The preschool she is going to in Sept runs a summer program and Lauren will be going this week and a week in August as a precursor to school. I had a bit of a hard time leaving her but she was fine. She did not cooperate with pictures but this was as we were leaving to house this AM. She has her bathing suit on under her clothes.

On to Walmart - here is what I found:
Back to school fabric that I love!

Princess fabric for our day at Dutch Wonderland in 3 weeks
Small red and black dots in preparation for making a Minnie dress (if I ever convince DH to go to WDW again)
Tink fabric and Mickey Mouse fabric because it was there

And I finished my Stitch applique:

His claws are painted on but everything else is satin stitched (even those little teeth).
Your DD looks so cute in her backpack. Great fabric finds. LOVE Stitch!!!!!

I went to buy some stuff for the big give this morning, and scored big!

All this fabric was under $5/metre, which is amazing because a) we don't have disney fabric here normally and b) it is usually around $10/m

SSL23662.jpg


I stopped in to the mall to get a t-shirt and TCP and Bonnie Togs had some for $2 so I grabbed a bunch to practice appliques on
SSL23663.jpg
Love that apple fabric!

Yay! I got my computer to read my memory card!!!!!

Here is an outfit I made Drew last month. She needed some comfy clothes and she loves stuff like this.

I put that little teeny tiny pink rick rack around the hem of the top and the pants too. That stuff gives me a headache it is soooooo teeny.
Love Drew’s outfit!

Here's the set I am sending Shay Lynne (BG #2) today!

summer004.jpg

summer005.jpg

summer006.jpg


I hope they like tacky the way we do around my house!

The mickey head is a little bunched up in the pics. It does look better than that, but to be honest it isn't perfectly straight which is driving me crazy. My sister said it is good and to send it. I have to as much as I hate to. If I try to make everything 100% perfect, I'll never get anything sent out.
I LOVE that!!!!

I too am a perfectionist (with my own stuff-I think your Mickey is PERFECT) and I just have to share with you what my late FIL used to say to me: “The enemy of good is better.” It is so true-you do something that is perfectly good but you think I could make it better and you end up ruining the whole thing.
 
Of course! I'd be honored.

:hug: you rock!

I've been so busy I didn't even know we had a new thread! Here I am posting on page 12 for the first time, the shame!!!

I finished Clay's (GoofyDoo's son) BIG GIVE outfit today and already mailed it out. Here's some pictures.

I also made Tessa a dress. I've been working here and there on it for a few weeks, but I just got it finished. Just for Teresa, I'm going to call it my Polly Pockets dress. ;)

I used the Simply Sweet pattern for the bodice. But, I modified it by making the front more of a sweetheart neckline and making it come up a little higher in the armpit area. I made it bigger so it will fit her next year, too.

I made a teeny little skirt thing and sewed it onto the bodice for a 3d look.

For the skirt, I made up my own pattern after I saw a cute skirt made from one of those euro patterns that had big scallops like this.

I got the fabric for $1.50 on clearance at JoAnn, so it only cost me $3 to make it!!

I just want to tell you guys all thank you so much for the concern you are showing Riley and I. This is turning into such a mess, and honestly I am sure that the nurse I call hag does think that I'm a total psycho! I can't say that I am always in control of my emotions when I am frustrated and worried and upset and scared. I just don't think it's too much to ask that they be a little bit understanding about how difficult this situation is for us. I know that it is not her fault when the doctor doesn't provide the help we need and she gets frustrated that she can't do anything, but she doesn't need to add her nasty comentary.

Anyway... Thank you all and know that I appreciate it so much. I have been in tears many times when I read all of the lovely things that you ladies post to me. I hope to get to meet some of you in person some day. I don't really have "real life" friends that share my hobbies, so this is my spot to be excited with and for people who "get" how wonderful it feels to create something!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!:flower3:
Who is the psycho???????? A woman who want relief for her child in pain or a nurse who threatens to cause your DD more pain because they’re hoping to scare you off??????

I just wanted to send you a :hug: and to let you know that I am praying for Riley to get better:grouphug: I know how hard is when you do not see the light at the end of the tunnel...

I came to New York in the 80's as an exchange student from Puerto Rico, I went to Oswego State University , at the time I did not speak the language or knew anyone and it was my first experience of being away from home, I started having headaches and first paid no mind , then they got so bad that my school work started to get affected, I went to the doctor and all I was told was that it was in my head, I was too stressed, I needed to get used to a different life:confused3 , and some doctors told me that I was looking for attention:laughing: and was pretending so I believed the doctors and tried to ignore my pain and live with it. During that time I was prescribed Xanax, Valium, and a bunch of other medication

I finished school and moved to Staten Island, one day crossing Hylan Bldv (will never forget!!) I went blind and lost consciousness I was taken to Staten Island University Hospital, and there I was seen by the ER doctors that had no idea what was wrong with me , It so happen that a group of medical student were at the emergency room and because I was a "rare" case asked me if they could see me and talk to me, I first did not wanted to speak to this young kids that were not even doctors...after they saw me one of the medical student remembered discussing in class about a medical syndrome called pseudo tumor celebri... I did not fit the profile but the doctors decided to do some test and do a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) and the pressure was so high that the doctors could not believe that I still have my sight.

It's been years and I had several surgeries for shunts that do not work, last august I went to my neurosurgeon and told him something was wrong and he gave me a referral to a psychiatrist (this from the surgeon that operated me 4tims and knew my medical history) and told me to go home, the same day I was admitted to the hospital because the shunt was out of place and embedded in the wrong side of my stomach I had emergency surgery the next day, to this day is still a struggle with doctors that believe that we females "pretend to be sick" and are "looking for attention" after all this years I have yet to find the "right" doctor so I can empathize with you:hug:

On the other side:confused3 my husband had a bad headache went to the ER and was admitted for a day for testing on what turned out to be "Stressed Headache"... see:sad2: double standards...

Sorry for a long post I just wanted to let you know that some of us do understand your frustration and what you are going thru
hugs to you and Riley
Linette-I can’t imagine what you’ve been through and are still dealing with.

I've had this done for about a week now, but wanted to wait until the launch before I posted it. ;) DS LOVES it!! Mickey is his favorite right now!

LOVE the Mickey outfit. I have plans for a Mickey bowling shirt for my DS. I love your take on it.
 
Here's another version of the button shirt. I made this skirt for Riley's best friend when they went to DW in May. I decided to go ahead and start the girls shirts for January. Of courst the buttons are just glued on with elmers right now. I think maybe half of Riley's are sewn on. I am thinking of making some black cargo pants with minnie dot pockets to go with these for January.

Love those shirts and that skirt!!!!

You will think that living in NYC you will not have any trouble finding disney fabric but I cannot find a store that sells disney fabric (if you know of any let me know):thumbsup2

OK My question is
I did a drawing of the outfits that I want to make for the Big Give
Belle:
2007_07230002.jpg


I wanted to make a sundress with Belle theme
I have cotton (yellow) and tulle for the material,

cotton fabric and applique
2007_07230013.jpg



my question is: should I use the cotton material or use fabric heavier (taffeta or satin)? My concern with the satin and taffeta is the heat

what do you think?

Linnette
LOVE your designs. I would go with cotton. Can’t wait to see your finished outfits!

Well, I've finally got 10 posts under my belt, so here's what I've done the past couple of weeks.

OT - my husband was cutting hay a couple weeks ago and scared up this little guy - he was still so young that he was wobbly legged when we let him go!

Great Buzz shirt-love the covered buttons. Great Wall*E shirt and great bag!

I am making the family t's for BigDisGrandma Big Give and have run into a little snag!

I've bought the shirts and washed them. I've gotten transfer paper, added names to the design and made the transfers. I will iron them on tomorrow or the next day. I am taking benedryl right now and don't trust myself to iron.

I am trying to wean myself (with doctor's help) off cortisone and my immune system decided to have an allergic reaction to something I ate. I haven't had anything I know I'm allergic to, so in a few weeks, I get to get some more allergy tests! :confused3 The doctor gave me a shot and said to take benedryl until it goes away--I call my new look the Tammy Fae Baker look--big lips! The swelling in the roof of my mouth has gone way down--thank goodness. I can only eat "safe"--read bland--foods until it is gone.
So sorry to hear this! Hope you’re feeling better soon!

Good evening! I posted on the last thread (at least I think it was the last thread, you all move along fast, so it might have been two thread ago:laughing: ). I posted some pics on that thread of the Jedi Robe I made for my son, it was my first sewing project --- and I thought my last, but you all inspired me to try making something for my daughter. I just finished making her a dress. I've learned quite a few things, the first being the fact that I can't sew in a straight line to save my life!:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Anyway, here are a few pictures of the dress I made. I only have one of my daughter modeling it because she was being a little stinker!
