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

[mytwotinks]

I need opinions! Should I leave it as is or add this rick rack? I kinda feel like it needs some yellow at the bottom but I am not sure. Let me know what you ladies think so I can get it in the mail.

I vote add the rick rack, but I put it on everything, so you might need to ignore me!

 

[mytwotinks]

WOW, what a gorgeous child! Ha Ha, what else would I say about my only granddaughter. I think she looks great in the outfit, you once again did a fantastic job on it. Of course everything you make is fantastic. Now you must get started on my stuff for WDW.
I just got a break here at work, so I thought I'd send you hugs about my baby boy. Every time I think about him being there longer I cry. I started to cry in the middle of an interview today. Thank god all the students know about Mark so they are very understanding. See you and my precious monsters tomorrow! Love Rara

I'm so sorry for you guys. Why don't you and dil take the kids to disney?!?!?!?

 

[HeatherSue]

Such a great idea! I love it, but I miss Tessa's face!

Ask and you shall receive!

I'm so sorry for you guys. Why don't you and dil take the kids to disney?!?!?!?

She is taking my DSIL for a graduation trip and it is just them. We usually always go together but this is a special trip just for her and I am ok with that. We have gone to WDW without DH before but I want to save the $ in case we can go for x-mas or something.

Ask and you shall receive!

I love this idea! Really cute and Tessa is adorable!

QUESTION!

I bought a ribbed tank top for my current big give project. I really wanted a pink t-shirt, but darned if I couldn't find one anywhere in the right shade of pink. Anyway, my question-

Is there anything special I need to know about appliqueing in a ribbed tank top? I've never done it before and just need to know if I should do anything different than I would on a t-shirt.

I just finished mine and it's on a (hot pink) ribbed tank. It was just a Mickey head, but it was the same as if I was doing it on a regular tee.

I have been working on my Big Give bigdisgrandma outfit today. I got the top done and I like it! Lily wants one for herself now. I'll take pics when I get the skirt done.

That is the down side!

Here are the towel pants! They were quick, fun and cute!

Great idea!! Fun for the beach or pool.

I'm needing 2 solid white petties for our trip to DW. We leave in 6 weeks and mom doesn't have time to learn how to make them. Does anyone have any ideas? One of my DD's is very short and the one's on are too long for her.

They are super simple to make. I used the pattern from YouCanMakeThis.com

BIG GIVE FINALLY DONE (ALMOST)

All I have left is final assembly of bodice to skirt portion and then I am done. the facial features are drying so that will have to wait until the morning. i am also making bows to go with it. Do you think I should add pom pom trim around the top part of the ruffle on the skirt part? I am thinking it might look good but am not sure. I was thinking yellow. What do you ladies and Tom think? I will have Roseanna model it tommorrow afternoon before I ship it. I want to finish the bows first.

Alice on the halter bodice:

Doorknob and cheshire cat

mad hatter

caterpillar

tweedles and white rabbit

pants (have posted before) queen of hearts and painting the roses red

GORGEOUS!!

We are going to have to cancel our Disney trip. Mark called and they are pushing his homecoming date to the end of October. That is an estimate of course but he definatly won't be jome for our trip. No free dining for me Hopefully a good code comes out for november and maybe we can go then but I am not sure he will want to. It will have to be a really good deal.

I am trhowing myself a pity party and going for fabric therapy.

My BIL didn't know until a few days before his trip that he was going to make it home from Iraq. My sister was ready to cancel thier trip. But they woke Sean up in the middle of the night to tell him they had a helicopter coming in, with room to take his unit home, so he didn't have to cancel his trip.

I need opinions! Should I leave it as is or add this rick rack? I kinda feel like it needs some yellow at the bottom but I am not sure. Let me know what you ladies think so I can get it in the mail.

Like the rick rack. It breaks up the polka Dots.

Can anyone PM some good designers/sellers from , (or any place else you can recommend)for machine appliques and embroidery designs?

Yep, just like normal, only stabilizer is crucial on a tank!

Thank you, ladies!! I'll just use an extra layer of stabilizer!

This is an adult sized tank top. All of the women's t-shirts were either a peach-ish pink or cut too low for an 11 year old. So, I hope the tank looks okay.

 

[100AcrePrincess]

Thanks, I will keep you updated on our "possible" trip. Roseanna's birthday is 11/13 so it would be nice to be there for her birthday.

Cool! That's my birthday too.

Hi everyone!! I have been reading the last few weeks but having had much chance to sit down and response. Today is the first day since July 1st that we don't have anyone working in our home. We finally got all the repairs done from the water damage and we are finally getting our house back again.

I also decide to start potty training my 3yo ds today...no fun, but I guess it has to be done. He has been saying that he wants to use the potty and doesn't want to wear diapers anymore, so I figure he is ready. He had a few accidents this morning, but doing good this afternoon. One of my friend told me that boys are easier than girls? We will see....

That loooks great! Love it.

Here are the towel pants! They were quick, fun and cute!

That looks great, and what a great idea. I would have never thought about using towels for pants.

I know I dont post that often,but would you mind keeping my family in your prayers.My mom was put into ccu yeterday afternoon with pneumonia and kidney failure its not looking good at all,I just got back from the hospital after being there all night last night(my dh made me come home to sleep but I cant) she is the only blood relative I have left,I dont know what I will do if we lose her or even how to prepare my dd for this.any ideas?
thanks all

I am so sorry, will keep your mom and your family in my prayers.

I made this last week forgot to post pic

That's really cute!

BIG GIVE FINALLY DONE (ALMOST)

That is just gorgeous! Isabel is going to love it. I am working on something for Isabel as well, but definitely nothing as stunning as yours..

My father passed away 2 weeks ago and I started preparing my children by telling them he was sick and wasn't going to get better. Everyday as the situation presented itself I'd tell them how sick he was. Now, depending on your religion that can come into play and you didn't mention that so I don't know. We're Baptist so I brought our beliefs in about heaven and what it's like, on a child level. The morning he died my husband told them, I just couldn't and then we talked about how much we'd miss him and that it's ok to miss him but then bringing our religious beliefs into it again. I didn't have them attend the funeral services. Whatever you say, however you say it, it won't be easy and it's ok for them to see you upset about it (but not psycho), but at same time you have to be strong for them. I would start preparing your child now. I'm not sure of the age either of your child which plays into it.

I am so sorry!

Here is Roseanna modeling it. She just woke up and I immediatly made her put it on. Poor kid. I will take better pics later when I make the bows and make her presentable! She is smaller than Isabelle so hopefully this will be perfect!

One question. DO you think I should do trim around the russle on the top? I was thinking red or yellow pom poms but I am not sure. Opinions???

WOW...I have said it, but I will say it again..it is GORGEOUS! and your daughter is beautiful!

Look at that twirl! I love it.

I need opinions! Should I leave it as is or add this rick rack? I kinda feel like it needs some yellow at the bottom but I am not sure. Let me know what you ladies think so I can get it in the mail.

I like it with the rick rack.

Here's a closeup of the little dress I put on Tessa's "Polly Pocket" dress. I cut out the shape of the skirt with a little extra on the sides. Then, I sewed it to a plain white piece of fabric, right sides together (leaving the top seam open). Then, I turned it right side out, folded down the top seam, and sewed that up. Then, I gathered it a little by hand and then sewed it right onto the skirt picture that was already on the bodice.

That is so cute! You are so talented. You need to start making and selling some of your patterns/instructions on YMCT!!

Ms_mckenna – congrats on the baby girl! You and your family are doing a wonderful thing.

sahm1000 – congratulations! Lilly is precious, and the big sisters are adorable in their July 4th custom.

Mytwotinks – sorry about Riley, and hope she feels better soon and you get the help that she needs. Did you hear back from Mayo Clinic?

I did Mulan on a rib knit tank for Zoe. it worked pretty well except where I had small "wisps" of hair. I think by then the stabilizer wasn't stuck so the knit was able to move more. Rib knit stretches more easily so that part looked a little "puckery" but not bad.

Hello All!
I am back from our vacation to Lancaster PA and Hershey Park! However...now I am in the midst of DD10's 4H Fair! It's day and night for 3 days so I won't probably be on until Saturday. Then I need to catch up!!!! I missed you all and can't wait read everything and see about catching up on my trip reports too....please be patient.....I don't want anyone to think I am not following along.


A big thank you to all the kind comments about the playroom/sewing room. Its not quite that neat in the midst of a project but I do clean it up after each one and the girls have to clean it up every week so I can vacuum!


I did get to stop at a few quilt shops in Lancaster...specifically in Intercourse and Bird-in-Hand Gotta love the names... It was absolutely heaven to be in a shop with so much gorgeous fabric

My DH got in a big conversation with an Amish Quilt Shop owner and so I started buying up fabric for a someone special! Its a surprise! (Twins and 2 more ) In any case, I am working on uploading and labeling pics and getting organized.

I will see you all soonerish....Love and Hugs

That is absolutely amazing! I bet you had a ball!

Here are the towel pants! They were quick, fun and cute!

So so sweet! Those would be great for the pool!

Oh my even cuter on. I do think poms would be a bit much.

OMG how scary! I am so happy al is fine!


I am so excited I finished my 1st patchwork twirl skirt!

Sorry about all the twirl pictures I love the twirl picture!

Thanks to every one whole helped me calculate how many sqs I needed. After I sewed them all together I thought I wanted it longer so I added anther tear but now that I see it on her she didn't need it.
Next one I think I need to add more material for the base layer where the elastic goes.
Nikki is going to where this to the Luau in WDW when Kyle and my best friends boys where their bowling shirts.

Serious twirl factor~! Looks like you scored big with her! It is adorable.

I love this picture she is to stinking cute!


OK ladies I am tired lol. I think I am officially afraid to try IVF as the next step now! I cannot imagine having triplets. I think you could without a doubt lose your mind. I got to thinking about Jon and Kate this morning thinking about how even with help .... oh my just do not want to think about it lol.

So I need advice. Little ones are waking up a bit when I think if I were giving them a paci they would be able to sleep a bit longer. I have always been pretty anti paci. Alex had one but only because he spent 3 months in the NICU and they gave it to him ... not my choice. I am really starting to reconsider my anti paci feeling. My Dr. this morning reminded me that it is much easier to break a paci than a thumb sucker. So I would love your opinions? Am I being a crappy mom to these little ones by giving them one? Admittedly the only reason I am is for my sanity because there is two of them and well only one of me lol. Neither of them like the swing or the bouncy seat or any of the things that usually will appease a newborn for a few minutes lol. They are however thankfully very very good babies! Anyway would love your honest opinions.

I say do what works to let them sleep and let you get rest. I'm not someone who likes pacifiers beyond a certain age but it's definitely OK for infants IMO.

I know that I would rather be a binky baby with a well rested caretaker than a no-binky baby with an exhausted caregiver! I had one binky baby (Riley from icu) and one non-binky baby (I tried and tried and Drew just wouldn't take it) and I will tell you that I loved being able to give Riley a binky. She loved it, I loved it all was good!

After church two Sundays ago, I suggested that we dropped by Hancock since is was on the way home from church. Much to my surprise, my dh agreed and he had the cart while I walked around and looked at patterns and notions, and when I got back, this is what he had in the cart...

He had picked out some Disney fabric, and said that I should get them all...which I did..I think I need to take him shopping with me more often!!

I also picked this up last Thursday at a quilt store nearby...my dd requested that I make her something with cupcake fabric for her birthday early august...and I found this:

I still have no idea what I am going to make with it yet....she recently told me not to make her anymore shorts or pants because they are for boys, and she looks prettier in skirts and dresses!

Come to the dark side and give those babies pacis! Some of my kids have loved them, some have had no interest (Luke). Jayden was a very fussy baby and the paci saved us. You are SO not a crappy mom! The fact that you are even stressing over this issue shows what a wonderful mom you are! And if you can get a little more sleep or sanity you will be happier!

No, you are not being a crappy mom if you give them a binky! Have you tried swaddling them..really tight? I am not good with swaddling but my dh would swaddle our ds really tight...he would whine and cries for a little bit but he would eventually calm down and sleep longer than he was unswaddled. However, if you think that giving them a binky will help, I would do it...anything to get some sleep and save your sanity! Everyone knows that if mom isn't happy, no one else is!
