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

[jham]

I Love all the random pics, especially taking trips.everyones kids are absolutely adorable. i had to add my own random pics. i call them the ectasy and the agony. dd1 ( at the time) so happy to be in disney at christmas time and ds4 (at the time) finding out that we have to fly home the next day. these are from last november

also here are a couple of things i have done recently

i tried to make a bloomer bottom but i think i cut it too narrow. any suggestions. should i copy a pair of bloomers that work or go to carla c shorts? thanks for your help

Carla's easy fit pants make excellent bloomers

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

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

Thanks for the moral support!

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.

I have a list...or two...or three. I added another Disney trip to my life and I still have way too many ideas on my "list". Lily wants me to CASE my last MAW Minnie outfit for her. I really want to make Cinderella's working dress and a Cinderella twirl skirt, and an "It's a Small World" skirt to match a cute shirt I bought, and a pink Cinderella mouse made dress, and a Donald Duck outfit, and an AK outfit, and a pooh bear outfit and Snow White zuma outfit sorta like her Cindy one, and a Belle dress with the roses like Tom made, and and....

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.

Oh, I'm pretty sure I won't look like that in February, I'm almost 5 years older anyway! But I'm gonna try really hard (I hope!) which reminds me, I'm off to my recumbant bike, the only piece of exercise equipment I don't detest.

 

[Tinka_Belle]

I want to sew something girlie tonight. I'm just not sure what I want to make.

 

[AQW]

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...

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.

My "father" dropped my mother off at the hospital to give birth to me and never came back. I've done pretty darn well in spite of it, just as Ireland and Jenna will. It's not a club we choose, but it's a club of pretty cool chicks who rise up and show the world how extraordinary they are, daddy or no daddy.

Here's the autograph pillowcase I did for DS on our Dec 06 trip.

Super cute! And my DS has the same sheets on his bed right now.

ARgh! i had quotes and lost them all!

So, let's see! i don't remember much, getting late!

Tinks wings to me can be white, just outline in a light color, or any super light pastel color that looks good with the outfit.

castle - that is a beautiful picture of ireland. he doesn't know what he is missing out on and seems to not deserve to know. i am sorry.

linette - love the bag idea! And you have been sewing away!

jham - you looked great after 3 kids! i would have weighed about a zillion pounds!

stephres - hope you get to feeling better. love the kids on the tubes! i bet that river was freezing! We were just in WV and the water was quite chilled and it was just my feet! Glad to see your DH got to go kayaking.

on the applique thing, i think i skip alot of steps when doing it by machine but i detest it! i just did another wall e shirt tonight and think that is the only design i'll ever do that way. i am much faster by hand! and like it better. i don't want the store bought look, thus like it by hand better. Each person is different though, so if you have the oppportunity i would say try it out, i would for sure want to try before i bought a machine just for that though.

And anyone who wanted to know where i got the Wall E design please pm me. i know a few asked right before i left on vacation.

Don't remember what else. off to bed! Goodnight ladies!

 

[cerberus]

Not sure how all of you resize the pictures to make them smaller when you quote, so sorry.....but have to say this is a super cute idea!

Love that Donald hat. Where did you get it?

How sad! He is the one really missing out.

I grew up with only mom and younger brother. I never really knew I was missing something. I really wasn’t missing anything. My mom is a wonderful person who went above, beyond and without to give my brother and I a great life. I am so thankful for her.

My dad actually called me on my 24th birthday (I saw him last at age 2) during a dinner party. I didn’t recognize the number so when he asked to speak with Lacy I said "she is not available may I take a message?" He kind of stuttered and said "Lacy is that you?" and I (thinking it was a telemarketer) said rather snotty "Yes, who is this" and he said "Lacy this is your father." I was so shocked I immediately said "Stephen is here would you like to talk to him?" My brother was not pleased with me for that one. Stephen said he didn’t want to talk to him, so I did for a few minutes. I have talked to him a handful of time in the last 7 years. I think he just wanted to clear his conscience. It was really to late for a relationship. He lives in Florida and I live in Ohio, so the distance makes it harder.

I think I turned out OK. I am sure Ireland will too. She has one loving caring parent. Which in my opinion far out weighs someone coming in and out of her life.

 

[MouseTriper]

Hi Everyone...I am finally back from our road trip. Anybody miss me?? LOL...just kidding! I sure missed this place and all of you. I think I definitely went through some DisBoutique withdrawls. I came back to what seems like a bazillion pages and a new thread. WOW...you guys are fast and awful chatty!!! Hahaha....so what did I miss?? There is no way I am going to be able to catch up on all these pages. I am sure I missed some good stuff too!!! I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the summer.

Since I won't be able to go through each page...can anyone tell me if there has been anything posted for the 1st BIG GIVE...the one for Alicia and Isabelle? I know some of you are still working on some outfits and I am just curious if I missed any updates on this particular BIG GIVE!

I am sure I have missed some beautiful creations on here. You guys are all so very talented!!!

(and for the record, I loved Mackinaw Island and all the fudge they have there...hahahahahaha. It is so beautiful there, we didn't nearly have enough time to enjoy it. Hopefully next time!!!)

 

[spongemommie05]

Do any of you recognize this place?

my husband and the kids ( I think my husband is the one in the front not the back )

my kids at their First Communion(2007)

Still have to do iron on Goofy applique(waiting for online order)

So far behind reading but love the outfit posted (CASING SOME )

Linnette

love all those things what a busy busy woman you were today

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.

so cute

I Love all the random pics, especially taking trips.everyones kids are absolutely adorable. i had to add my own random pics. i call them the ectasy and the agony. dd1 ( at the time) so happy to be in disney at christmas time and ds4 (at the time) finding out that we have to fly home the next day. these are from last november

Carla C's are great for bloomers i second that..

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!

wow they look like they are having a blast..


okay now i want you all to know i am ignoring my kiddos they are downstairs it is so quiet i am worried .... so hopefully they are asleep...... it is 11 PM here ..

My Godson (my bf son) has a real winner for a "father" too. They are the ones who are missing out on knowing these great kids. There must be something wrong in their brain to not see that! But then again maybe the kids are better off not knowing them!

Yummmmmmy Did you have some Cherries too! I love the Cherry festival!!

That reminds me Leslie 2cutekidz- Did you take your kids to that Mud day. They had that on our local news, it looked like a lot of fun but very messy! Not something you could make a custom outfit for!

And Jhammy- Those were the cutest pirates I have ever ever seen!! They all looked so ADORABLE!!!!

Glad to have you back Spongie!! I hope you can stop by more often. I missed you too!!!

I know I am missing a bunch I am sorry You know they were all really great!! We have such creative people around here!! I'm just trying to stay caught up. Work is really busy- I have a client moving soon so in some ways it's like I am moving- you know all those arrangements and phone calls you make when you move, well all that stuff is my job. I feel like a busy little bee!! Buzzing here and there and everywhere!! Also we are having a "staycation" next week. It was supposed to be a cabin camping trip with my in laws but they canceled it last month. So since we are staying home and I'm so busy at work I am working 2 days, so it's like a "part time staycation" But we are planning to do family outings and maybe camp at a local park for a night or two. Needless to say I am really enjoying the trips to the NW Karen!! Where are we going in the morning?!?!?!

Need Vacation Advice!

Many of you know I work for the Disney Store. Well, yesterday we finally got our complimentary tickets. Well, it is only 4 tickets. Either 1 day for each of us, or 4 for 1 of us. The are park hopper so that is good. Well, we don't know what to do. Throught mousesavers if you buy 3, 4, or 5 day ph they upgrade free to 6 day ph. So then we have 7 days of tickets. The free ticket does not expire till 2010 and we will get 4 more in Dec and then 4 more next July. do we
1. Book an extra night and stay 8 days, 7 nights and use the bonus tickets.
2. Still stay 7 days, 6 nights and use the bonus ticket for the day we get there, even if it is only for a few hours.
3. Keep with our original plan and save the bonus ticket for next year? Assumnng I continue to work for DS and have 12 tickets by this time next year?
4. Last idea - buy 10 day ph, no exp for everyone, use 5 days from it and our bonus tickets, and then next year we will already have another 5 days?

This was easier to plan without free tickets! I do get a nice discount on the room, but I am not sure if there is availablitly yet. I haven't called.

I know this is long, but I am so confused!

 

[minnie2]

I'm sooo jealous of that close seat! Not that I have a DL thing, but I do have a U2 drummer thing & this was the shot from my seat last time.

At least they did have monitors up. This one's just so you can tell what he actually looks like ('cause I know all you really want to see him ).

And just because she's cute

DH and I are so spoiled with concerts very young we got lucky and got great seats for a Lep show at MSG and ever since then we don't go to many but when we do we have to be close! Although that concert was the closest I have ever been.

My dad used to LOVE U2 the Christmas before he died I finished his U2 cd collection. I now have them.
Love that picture of your little girl!

First off -
Sorry I haven't been able to keep up here lately - we have been in and out of town and are leaving again tomorrow! I do try to peek through and always love seeing what you all are creating.

I wanted to share what I finished for Emma today - I fell in LOVE with this fabric at the sewing expo and have had it sitting here for a couple of months. I am pretty happy how it turned out. Thanks for letting me share!

That is really really cute! Love the style of it!

Sorry I am not multiquoting but love all the new customs and random pictures, and sending prayers to all of you who are going through rough times.

Anyway, here is a picture of my BIG GIVE outfit...yes, I am a little behind here and just finish working on Isabel/Alicia's big give outfit recently. I got my dd to model it. It is a little bit big on her, but hopefully it will fit Isabel. She was more interested in watching tv than modeling the outfit for me....

It came out great! You little girl is so beautiful!

Oh, that sucks! My DH seems to get tickets all of the time and it burns me up! I hate wasting money. You were coming from work (as a nurse especially) and he wouldn't give you a break? I thought most cops usually gave nurses "warnings". My friend is an ER nurse and she always got "warnings" when she got pulled over. Of course I think she also let it be known that she was a nurse (like putting her stethoscope on her rear view mirror, etc.).





Journey and Def Leppard? That is pretty funny!

I shouldn't talk since I adore Barry Manilow! And I made my DH go see him in concert in February with me. God I love that man (Barry, not dh ).

My "freebie" would probably be Bono. My DH says he doesn't have one that he only wants me. Whatever!




Loving your trips Karen! Keep up the good work!

Not supposed to be funny! I seriously really like them both! Heck I am so sad they aren't touring IL so far this yr!
One of my girlfriends LOVES Barry! Sorry I just can't get into him I am a rocker chick! I like the heavier stuff. Kyle even asks for the metal bands! He love Matalica! LOL He is his fathers son!

Bono has def aged well not a bad frebie!

I am on really, really quickly. It has been a crazy day. I wanted to say:

2bforhim- Love the pics of the vacay (yes, I am that far behind), looks like a blast. You are sadly mistaken if you think that you look bad in the swimsuit. I will not be posting any of me. . .until I loose weight!

Jham- Cooper saw Lily's pic and said "ooohhh Lily, can I play dolls with her, I bring my Lilo." Lilo is his favorite baby that no one is allowed to touch.

And last but not least----

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!

Here is what I made today. When I was in the doctor's office this week I noticed a girl's dress that was made like this, shirred some space and then shirred again. I like how it turned out. I ment it to be a shirt but once I added the ruffle it is long enough to be a dress.

I really like that! Ok some one needs to explain to me how to shirr something! Please!

I print out a template, cut sorta around it, spray it with temporary spray, put it on the fabric I'm going to use, trim around on the line, stitch the first line of stitches, spray the back of the fabric with temporary spray, lay it down inside the line that you just stitched and resume stitching.



OK! I sewed today! I did a little m2mg work this afternoon.

Ready for school!

Perfect 1st day of school outfit!

I am actually getting nervous that come winter I won't be able to make anything for my kids it just seems harder to make winter clothes. I did get a really cute jacket pattern though for Nikki
http://www.mccallpattern.com/item/M4961.htm??tab=list/girls_boys_7_16_girls_plus&page=all

any one know of a cute jacket pattern for a little boy?

Does YCMT start having fall winter patterns when the weather gets cooler?

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

How fun!

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

Thank you. I feel a little vindicated. I suggested the basement and my manager laughed a me saying "do you believe everything you see in movies?" See i was right

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!!!

If you are a rule breaker...so am I. I haven't sewed in week (which is not a good thing since my trip is 6 weeks away!)

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.

Hugs to you and Jenna and I will say again- HIS LOSS

Sorry! I'm here. Checking in! Shut off my computer last night due to the storms. It's really been crazy around here this summer. I heard on the news last night the we've gotten 6 inches of rain in the past two days. And it literally rained almost every afternoon since like May. We have Florida weather!!!

Need Vacation Advice!

Way to tough of a decision for me...BUT are you planning to come to our DisMeet (if it materializes)? Don't forget that you'll need tickets for that too!!!

Can you send some of that rain our way? We are in a severe drought!

I really want to do the dismeet, but I am not sure yet. If I go, I can get a room pretty cheap, but not sure if dh is all for it!

You can take the rain. I'm sick of it! Plus I'm on vaca next week...day care is closed for two weeks so I take a week off and then my mom takes her to Maine for a week (DH only gets enough vaca time for Disney). All my plans pretty much involve OUTSIDE activities!

Why are you on the boards...go work on your DH!!!

 

[minnie2]

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

Great shot! Love the Pirate costumes! Reminds me I have to make those Pirate shorts for Kyle!

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:

IT came out great! Love the twirl factor! Your dd looks like she is having fun with it.

Do any of you recognize this place?
my husband and the kids ( I think my husband is the one in the front not the back )

now , today was a productive day for me 5 pair of pants, 3 handbags, sink skirt and window curtain for the bathroom,

What a handsome family!
Love the new stuff! The back pack is so cute! I was thinking about making them for the kids for my trip. Is that one from the bookmarks?

Can you post the pictures of the purses? I am trying to figure out what style I want to make for me for my trip....

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...

Ireland is beautiful. Sorry her bio dad is such a butt! It burns my butt that any one could not e in there child's life even in a small capacity!
DH never meet his bio dad and his step dad was a nightmare so maybe that hit s a bit too close to home for me... Sorry.

She is lucky she has you

What a great idea! DS has those same Cars sheets! I have been tempted to make the top sheet and make something for him with it...

I Love all the random pics, especially taking trips.everyones kids are absolutely adorable. i had to add my own random pics. i call them the ectasy and the agony. dd1 ( at the time) so happy to be in disney at christmas time and ds4 (at the time) finding out that we have to fly home the next day. these are from last november
