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

[Tnkrbelle565]

Hope you are all okay.

We had a funnel cloud near my house today. They are so rare around here that nobody knew what to do. Should we go to the basement? Hang out in doorways??? Yup, we were a bunch of clueless idiots. They made us stay at work late until the alert was lifted and the cloud was gone. Personally I just sat at my desk and did paperwork...probably not the smartest idea but my knowledge of tornados doesn't extend much past the Wizard of OZ

Here's the autograph pillowcase I did for DS on our Dec 06 trip. It was just a 3 night trip so I only did characters I thought we had a good chance of seeing. I was reluctant to do Baloo but DS insisted he was his favorite and he was the first character we saw. I got the designs on the Dis but the designer is no longer designing. I had some problems with the iron ons. Not sure what was going on as I had done iron ons before and since so I'm thinking it was most likely do to the fact that I was doing it after midnight.

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Great idea!

That was some storm. Are you getting lightning now? We are-I'm thinking I probably shouldn't be on my computer. I work in Quincy on the top of a hill and my office is on the top floor (only 4th) with all windows on one side. The rain and lightning were pretty bad-I didn't have a rain jacket-only an umbrella that would have been useless in the sideways rain-might have been a lightning rod. I had to wait it out to go home.

Ya. it was nuts. Did you guys hear about the funnel cloud in Georgetown? Lightening just started up again. Probably should get off the computer too!!! I didn't have a rain coat or umbrella either. I just ran! Stay dry

Have been lurking mostly because I haven't been sewing but I wanted to share a random picture.

My MIL sent this to me today; it is from our trip to PA. Tom is in a kayak pulling the kids on innertubes. When we picked them up their lips were blue because their hineys were in the freezing cold river water the whole trip! My future BIL who went with them (for search and rescue if anyone fell in) said every time they tried to lift their butts out of the water, my husband yelled at them to stay still!

SHERIDEE - lost the quote somehow, but you asked:

So in your opinion, is it easier than appliqueing by hand? I guess I should assume so since you do it that way, huh? How do you get it to print out a template? Sorry if I have too many questions, I've never seen an embroidery machine in person.


Well, it's not completely easy. It does take a little time. BUT, I'm a perfectionist, so I get very easily discouraged with hand applique. I LOVE the look of it, but I get upset at myself for not being able to do it perfect. Doing it by machine helps that.

Hope you are all okay.

IF THAT EVER HAPPENS AGAIN - Go to the basement! Or into an interior room (for us, it's a bathroom).

I love this idea! You have already answered, but how did you have the characters sign? Did you carry a clipboard or something?

 

[t-beri]

Yeah, well, like I said, I have a LONG way to go to get back to that!



Now you have seen me in person and you know how far from that I am, but I really want to get back there! Too bad I don't live closer and I'd go to the gym with you and Wendy.




I love the shorts you made for Brody! I think the tank tops should be okay his grandma said the tee shirt he got from the MAW people is a size 12/14 and it fit him fine "with room to grow"



Thanks! I looked at those pictures today and can NOT believe my baby Lily is almost three!

you are very heeelarious and too kind. I will try to get back there though.

1. YAY! JHAMMY...joo can dooo eeet!!!

2. Yeah, tell me about it...Little keeps telling me she's "bigger now"

Hi ladies, quick question---I'm going to do my first pieced applique (thanks for the awesome tutorial, it looks simple) of Tink. What kind of fabric should I use for the wings????? It will be on a white tshirt. I'm going to make a stripwork skirt to go with (green and yellow from Tink plus whatever I can find in my stash or mom's or at the fabric store).

22 days until our trip, guess I should get sewing LOL

IMHO Tinks wings should always be a faint blue.

Great photos! Is that pink sweater from Hanna Andersson? If so I had the set for my youngest as her coming home from the hospital outfit-she was born in January and it was something like 5 degrees the day she came home.

The Pooh outfit is cute!

 

[mytwotinks]

Well since we are all so open with each other, this is the first time meeting her dad...he wasn't the greatest father and decided to take off when she was 3 weeks old. Yup. Great guy. Anyway, Ireland is 5 here and this is her first time meeting him, and also the last time she's seen him. Surprise..he hasn't called or visited her... She likes the picture, but we don't have it hung on the wall or anything...

Oh Lisa, I am so sorry. I knew you had said he wasn't in her life so i assumed he wasn't able to be (like maybe dead ). I guess I forget what losers people can be.

Give Ireland a hug for me. It must be hard for her.

Sorry I was so insensitive.

I'd just make them a bigger size and then when you add the elastic they will be fuller. Very cute!

Lurking b/c you haven't been sewing Sounds like a cop out to me! You of all people should know better

Since when am I EVER sewing???? Am I supposed to be on lurker status and noone told me? I'm probably breaking some kind of Rule, I'll have to check the list!!!

Glad you're back safely, hope ya'll had a good time and that the children's hineys' have warmed up w/ all this HEAT we've had.

PS. Are you feeling better?

I am off to make a list of outfits...a definitive list. One, hopefully, based on fabric and patterns that I have already purchased for said trip. You can never tell though.
I went to the photobucket for inspiration and added 2 pics of Lily and forgot.
...t.

 

[lovesdumbo]

I love this idea! You have already answered, but how did you have the characters sign? Did you carry a clipboard or something?

I had a small clipboard. I thought I would keep it in place with little binder clips but then we would see more than 1 character toghether and I couldn't undo the clips, move the pillowcase and reclip so I started just holding it snug for the characters and that worked fine.

Ya. it was nuts. Did you guys hear about the funnel cloud in Georgetown? Lightening just started up again. Probably should get off the computer too!!! I didn't have a rain coat or umbrella either. I just ran! Stay dry

I didn't hear about the funnel cloud. It's rumbling pretty good right now.

 

[mytwotinks]

A HUGE thank you to Denise/Mytwotinks!!! Jayden loves the skirt!

(although in this picture she was mad because I told her to use her "normal" smile):

some SERIOUS twirl factor:

I am so glad it fit!

 

[karebear1]

I GOT THE PROMOTION!! I just found out. I will have a transition period, but the raises that I have gotten this year (22.5%) will make it worth it. Feb Dismeet here I come!!! I might just have to bring the kiddos too!

CONGRATULATIONS on your job promotion! How exciting!! And now we're really looking forward to eeting you in Feb.!

Hey guys! i was over at jhammy's house today for a insane loud crazy playdate with UtahMama(Thanks Jhammy )
and realized i need to just stop what i am doing and catch up on the thread .

We're glad your back- we miss you lots and need ALL you UTAH peeps back here!!

You can add Zoe to the club.

Zoe is so cool!! See???? even Zoe wears a FP! You can't get any cooler then Zoe (unless of course it's ME or a Coach FP!)

For my random photos of the day I will take you to July 2006, pirates hunt for treasure on the beach:

What a darling family. These pics are so cute!

I don't know if this will help me or hurt me, but I'm showing you a picture of me when I made lifetime at WW in 2003. THIS IS WHAT I EXPECT TO LOOK LIKE AT THE FEB DISMEET!! I am a loooooooong way away from it now.

OK- this is just disturbing to me. I haven't looked like that since I was married- and then it only lasted a day! If you look like this in February, I may have to send someone that looks like me but is way thinner so I won;t feel so bad.

Stephres- I don;t do much sewing right now either, but I still post obnoxious items and pictures just so I can be entertained. Please continue to post your random pics- WE REALLY MISS HEARING FROM YOU!

Well, mostly because I still don't feel good and not sewing.

Are you caught up on your sleep now?

Wow that sounds the winner that is Jenna's daddy. He left when I was 4 months pg with her and hasn't called or seen her ever. She will be 7 in a couple of weeks.

 

[t-beri]

I'm sorry you are still feeling crummy, didn't the doctors do ANYTHING???

Yeah, I think I've finally caught up. Yesterday about 3:00pm I thought I was gonna pass out on my desk. I barely stayed up till 10:00 Lily wouldn't lay down w/ me until her dad came into the room, I remember her calling for him but honestly couldn't tell you when he came in cause I PASSED OUT!

I am going to be sewing though, you know it is always on my to do list. But Tour Guide Mikes says I have 86 days until vacation which means I have 12 weekends to get Lily and Mac's disney clothing done. So I will be sewing every weekend. I should have at least one outfit to post a week.

About Mac...I think he doesn't really want me to make his clothes as he wants to be special too. So I think I am going to ask him if he would like to go on disney shopping w/ me to pick out his own t-shirts for the trip. He got a Perry the Platypus one for this trip. I think this might suit both of us better.

And of course the family are deciding whether they want to stick to the Alice in Wonderland theme. I think DH is jonesing to do some scary halloween stuff but I won't let him at WDW. I need to think of a way to make everyone happy.

I'll post my potential outfit list tomorrow. I know ya'll wanna see it, don't even try to lie and say you don't
