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

[t-beri]

HMMM, I'll get on that.

Those are you first attempts at sewing???

I have sewed curtains, bedskirts, and wallhangings before but I have never had the confidence to make clothes. This thread gave me the confidence to try. I also started with the veggietales and cars fabric because it was in the house. I figured it would be no loss if it did not work.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone!

Still need the address to mail my pixie dust!

The family wants items sent via general delivery at their local PO. The first post in the Robin+5 thread on the Big Give board has the details.

As you might imagine, many people aren't comfortable giving their home address over the internet so we'll have a variety of alternate addresses to use - such as other family members, work, church, etc. I'm planning to use at least Delivery Confirmation on any larger items I send just so I get some kind of verification it was delivered. Although that doesn't guarantee it got to the right person I'll at least know the family should have it and if not, I can follow-up with my local PO or the family can do it on their end.

Here are my first attemps at sewing clothes (Istarted a week ago after finding this thread). My daughter is not the best model as you will see, she is pretty grumpy about it!


This is a simple pre-shirred that was a good confidence booster.

Here is an attemp at a skirt, but ended up a dress since it was too long.

This one is a little big but I am happy with it.

My first shirred top! I am pretty excited to learn how to do this. It took a few attempts.

This is my first attempt with a pattern. I used a shorts pattern and a loosly followed a pillowcase pattern for the top. (I got this idea from a previous post, I hope that is OK).

I hope this works! Let me know what you think.

Not get dramatic? Are you FORGETTING who I live with? LOL Morgan is the DRAMA QUEEN!!!!!! Atleast I didn't stomp my foot and roll my eyes LOL.

WOW you did GREAT

Exactly! I'll have you know that that fanny pack is made or real life rawhide leather- stained black for the coolest of cool effects! It also has a convienent inside area that holds 8 credit cards and has a zipper pocket for money too! PLUS there is a hidden zipper pocket for such valuables as WDW AP's and single packets of (ok- based on the latest nutritional talks we've been having here= nobody say anything! ) Crystal Light, so I don't have to taste that yucky WDW water.

Love the Fanny pack talk! My best friend who is coming with us to wdw in Nov keeps saying she will be wearing here and I told her if I didn't love her so much and wasn't so happy she was coming I would pretend I didn't know her though I have offered to make her a purse in hopes she would change her mind! No offense!

Following are pics of what I sent to eight year-old Shay Lynne of the GoofyDoo family Big Give. My eight year-old picked out the pattern (I confess that I steered her toward one that I'd made for her before so that I wouldn't have to attempt anything new). She also helped with the design of the necklace and the bling barrette. I don't love the necklace, but she does so I hope that Shay Lynne will like it as well. We were going for a "Limited Too meets the princesses" look. The yellow knit pants should hit at her knees. So, anyway, it's not as fantastic as some of the other outfits she'll have received, but it should be nice and cool in the heat.

Love the bling barrette

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

Hi everyone...you know this is the place we all share, good, bad, ugly...I want to ask for prayers for my family...I just got news that my cousin was shot and killed last night in Pittsburgh. Even though he is 31, he is still that little boy to me with a great big smile. We will need lots of prayers for his Mom, Dad and sister.

OMG. What is happening on this thread lately???? That is awful. I'm so sorry for your loss. Please send my thoughts/prayers to your family.

We had a stabbing outside of my house Sunday night. It was nuts (I live in a very quiet upper middle class town where these things don't happen...let alone in front of my house). Remember my backyard pond everyone was admiring? Guess where they think the weapon is???? I've had police and dogs in my backyard for two days. Kid my DH went to school with was stabbed over a GIRL...over a girl...are you kidding me???

Seriously...why are these awful, violent things happening???

I think that is adorable- and just as good as everyone elses! Did you make the necklace and bling barrett?? These are SO CUTE!!!Can you give a pictorial lesson in how to do this if you did?? PLEASE???

WOW!! You are on a roll already!!! I think your model is gorgeous, reluctant maybe, but gorgeous!! I think my favorite is the Cars dress. SOOO cute! Of course it's okay to make something similar to what someone else has made! There are only so many patterns/Disney fabric combinations out there, after all!

Not get dramatic? Are you FORGETTING who I live with? LOL Morgan is the DRAMA QUEEN!!!!!! Atleast I didn't stomp my foot and roll my eyes LOL.

In that case, you really did a good job. Wanna cookie (with no apples, dyes, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweetener, gluten or hydrogenated oil)?

Even if you don't come to the meet, we can still have a dismeet weight loss goal! Everyone who doesn't come can just post pictures of themselves just before we leave!

You mean you are all going to get skinny before we meet each other??? Great- that means I actually have to make an effort to lose weight.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwe.... I'm loved!

This would make a wonderful RANDOM pic of the day! Who's up for the challenge?? Can ANYONE out twirl our little Heather Sue??? Only time will tell.....

Ok- I've tried this RESIZING thing before... and it just plain didn't work for me, but I'm always willing to give it another try- so......... Here we go!!!!

Oh my!! She's getting so brave now! I think you'll be able to conquer your fear of.... well..... you know- in NO time at all if you keep this up!

Exactly! I'll have you know that that fanny pack is made or real life rawhide leather- stained black for the coolest of cool effects! It also has a convienent inside area that holds 8 credit cards and has a zipper pocket for money too! PLUS there is a hidden zipper pocket for such valuables as WDW AP's and single packets of (ok- based on the latest nutritional talks we've been having here= nobody say anything!) Crystal Light, so I don't have to taste that yucky WDW water.

Ya know, if you're really nice to me, I'll wear it to our DISmeet in February.

AND jhammie- I think we can arrange for it to count as your daily exercise IF you don't make fun of my fanny pack.

Where do I even start, Karen? Everything you say absolutely crackys me up (still funny t?)!!!

I'm so proud of you that you learned to th_!!! Would you also like a cookie (with no dyes, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweetener, hydrogenated oil, or gluten)?
It only works on photobucket pictures, so if someone uses shutterly or something, we'll just see an x where the picture should be.

Thanks Heather! That'll be stuck in my head now!

No problem, just trying to help out!

You my dear are BRILLIANT!!!! I went back and did what you suggested and it came out RIGHT! THANKS! Now I'm ULTRA SOPHISTICATED in a picture posting kinda way!

Between my daughter's school and Captain Carlos and myself, my daughter (4) is actually pretty health conscious! She knows what foods are healthy and which ones aren't. She knows that it's okay to have foods that aren't healthy, as long as you don't have a lot of them. Sounds good to me, I wish I had been that healthy as a kid.

Eat 5 a day the captain carlos way!!! Tessa is conscious of what's healthy and what's not, too. She's always telling me things like "these carrots are healthy, but fruit snacks are not".

We grew our own vegetable garden this year and the kids are picking and eating peas and tomatoes right off the vine! They would never eat them if I put them on their plate!

I just wanted to thank everyone for all the kind words about the Winnie the Pooh dress.

Teresa and I even talked about it and how cute it turned out yesterday.

TERESA TOLD ME SHE HAS BRIGHT GREEN POOH fabric!

THE ROBIN+5 GIVE IS FULL!!!

Thanks to everyone who picked up a project for this GIVE or sent some pixie dust to our MAW family YOU GUYS ROCK

YAY!! I knew the disboutiquers would come through!! I'll ship Morgan's outfit now. I was waiting in case it didn't fill up and I decided to make something else.

Why is ' c u z a bad word???? It always gets ***

I have NO idea!! But, I do know that if you type bobbin wrong and spell it b o o bin, it will look like this ****in!

You did a wonderful job! She is going to love it!!!

You did...I'm a moron.

No, you're not a moron, your brain is just full (that's what I'm always tell Corey when he tries to teach me something new)!!

 

[karebear1]

WOW you did GREAT

No offense!

No offense taken. I know that when people talk SMACK about my fanny pack, that they are just JEALOUS of it!

Yes, the late 80s/early 90s version of myself is very jealous

They ARE very convenient for theme parks. I will give you that. I had an electric blue one with hot pink thread that served me well at many a theme park adventure!

BTW, I said I was doing well w/ this dieting thing and then had a HUGE sugar craving. SO I looked around for the best choice for something just sweet enough to take the edge off and LO and BEHOLD! There it was....a jar of Dark Chocolate Dreams. I ate spoonfull (or 2) and thought I'd share this find w/ ya'll. It is an all natural dark chocolate /PB blend. It's from a company called Peanut Butter & Co. (a sandwich shop in Greenwich Village) I found it in my Grocery (Sweet Bay) but you can get it online or find a store near you online. @

http://www.ilovepeanutbutter.com/items_4.html

Ok, the link takes you to the P/B pantry page, cause I wanted you to see all the yummy flavors they have, but the site is pretty cool. They have recipes and other fun stuff.

The P/B is Gluten Free, Cert. Vegan, No Transfats, No hydrogenated oils, No Cholesterol and NO refined sugar. It is sweetened w/ evaporated cane juice.

I absolutely LOVE this stuff.

This is a simple pre-shirred that was a good confidence booster.

Wow, you did great!! I love your outfits, and great job shirring!! I may have to get a sewing machine just so I can shirr! Keep it up, you're very talented!

Love them! The bling is so cute and my daughter would be so jealous if she saw them!

I'm so sorry to hear that! My husband is 31, I can't imagine him being gone at his age. My heart goes out to your whole family!!
