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

[Astro Orbiter]

quick question I am making the portrait peasant top from ycmt and dd wants a ribbon on it so it will tie in the back like HeartherSues peter pan top.What stitch do I use to attach it?

I made a fabric tube. Pick the width you want, multiply by 2, then add 1/2" to that (seam allowance). Make sure it's wide enough that you can turn it! Sew one short side and the long side. Turn the tube. Tuck the ends on the open end in and topstitch that closed. Iron straight. Sew on to top! If you're going to have a seam, try to put it at the side seam; it'll hide best. I sew from side seat to side seam on the front, reinforcing the stitches at the ends.

Here are a few picture of the dream house. The one I'm never gonna have.

ignore my fat butt and pj's

This is what was once a ballroom for dancing during the parties thrown on the plantation...Check out the ceiling. The entire roof needs reshingled, so clearly we would havet to make sure to insulate between the tin and the shingles and install a radiant barrier. But it sure is gorgeous. We imagine this would be our living room.

That's too funny. Dhs parents are only in their mid fifties. They would die if they knew you were asking how long they'll be able to make it up the stairs! Besides they don't even really care about the kitchen they think it would be fine with a common kitchen. That would mean n and I could take the second floor. We have a brand new home and are constantly working on it. Its in our nature. As for price. I paid 2000 less for my 1300 square foot home on half an acre. This house is over 4000 square feet living. The property itself is worth 75000

The house was the main house of an old plantation. It was called foxwood plantation. The house across the st was the guest house and has the servants quarters behind it. Next door to it is the old carriage house. I'll post pics tomorrow

My inlaws live in a community of old plantation homes St. Francisville, LA. Almost all of their friends have these older homes and they are absolutely charming. My inlaws house is built in that style, and all of the internal wood, floors, paneling, stairs, railings ect. Came for the 150 year old rectory that was being torn down 40 years ago when the house was built. If you can afford the reno and upkeep I say go for it!!

OMG!!! That is incredible! I would love that too! My DH loves beams...he so wants a house that has beams...we almost bought a house because it had open beams!

I love the Plantations and the old victorian homes. Around here, the historical homes are more like Townhouses. (the second picture). The first is the 1st grand mansion.

This is architecture I love to. I love the colonial period. One of my favorite mansions is Hagley. It was the first home of the DuPont family when they came to the US from France.

The more victorian, you can find down at the Beach area in Rehoboth and Lewes.

This is a lot like the house my DH grew up in and where his mom still lives. Except on her house, take off that side thing on the left and add about 25-30 ft to each side.

Wow that place could be GORGEOUS! But I definitely see it will require lots of $$$$
It is one thing to fix your place up because you like to do it, it is a totally different to have to fix it up because something is always going wrong with it As my friends tell us, if something is going to go wrong, it is bound to happen to us! We were lucky to get a large home equity loan on our place because the market was good then, but now...well you all know how the housing market is now, we really have to watch how much more money we sink into it. At least you have the added bonus of having family in construction, but you still have materials to buy. Let us know if you decide to get the place , I would love to see more

Hi Everyone,

Those houses are AWESOME!! I cant even imagine!!

Well, we are at the beach - came down after church. We had to give a Camp Promise report today at church. So, its starts clouding up on the way down, and now it is POURING!!!! THe streets are flooded and the water is creeping up the sidewalk!!! LOTS of lightning and thunder too!!! Whenever a car goes by, we have waves on the front lawn!!!!! DH is watching the NAscar race which is sooooo boring today!!! So much for a beach day!!

What are you all up to?

Has anyone ever gone to MNSSHP? Is it worth it?

DH is running out to move the car - the water is rising quick!!!!!

All the older homes are beautiful! I can't imagine the work! I think the oldest home around me is about 10 years old. I am told often that our home was a cow pasture about two years ago

Here is what I have been busy doing this weekend:

I need to try an applique soon. I am a little intimidated by the idea though. Where do you all get the mickey head to copy? And how do you cut it so smoothly?

I finished a BIG GIVE shirt this morning. This is for Brody, BigDisGrandma's grandson.

He likes Pluto, Texas Longhorns, and the Dallas Cowboys. So, I drew them all together and appliqued it onto a shirt!

This applique was just about as fun to do as baby Simba. But, it'll be worth it if he likes it!

That shirt turned out really cute!!

Great job...that's really cute.

We live in a house built in 1889, everyone we know calls it the money pit But we love it. However we are not handy so it can get expensive to pay to have the work done, so since you have family in construction that will help. It will be a ton of work and LOTS of money! We just dealt with structural issues and thankfully we did not have to redo the foundation, that is enough money to give ya a heart attack
Here is my place

Okay will not bore you all with any more!!

I don't think you're boring any of us! Your house is BEAUTIFUL!!

That is adorable, and So is the Model!

When we moved to Ohio we bought a 1860's Farmhouse, Let's just say I didnt see the potential at first but DH did.

These are after DH painted the house.

The very best part of this house was the 3 acres and orchard. We had 7apple,1pear,1peach and a cherry tree, Plus 6 Mulberry trees.

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

WOW nice work!!! And is that a dog or a polar bear on your porch??? How cute is he/she????

 

[cerberus]

Great job, looks nice. We also have 3acres, but sadly our orginal barn was torn down before we bought it.

I'm local to DL and we have APs - in the 100+ times I've been to DL in the past few years, I've seen exactly three custom outfits total.

I thought you meant customs, like traditions!
I'm racking my brain to think of what customs WDW has that DL doesn't!

But I figured out my bias tape problem. I had to move my needle postion from center, so the tape wasn't centered over the hole. I do like to use the center position so I can just follow the line.

I love all the older homes shown. The newer ones are beautiful, of course, but I really like the charm and character of older home. Since we're sharing photos of our homes, here's Zoe and my little cottage. It's small (just over 1000 sq ft) but just right for us. This isn't as old as some shared but it was built in the 1930s.

This is the backyard. When I first moved in, I did a lot of work in the back but then it kind of took a backseat when I adopted Zoe. I splurged and had a yard service come in to clean up the front and back yards last year. Sadly, it no longer looks as nice because I haven't kept up with the gardening as I should. I've got several ideas for things I want to do but I've decided to wait until Zoe (and her friends) are older and not quite as destructive. Not that they do anything intentionally but they don't always think about where they step in the flower beds. I figured it was better to just not worry about it for now and save my grand vision for a few years down the road.

Well it only took two weeks to get "back on the horse" so to speak. I actually sewed last night. I finished her AK outfit. Only it makes her look about 8 which is a little scary.

Adorable!
Both my DD are adopted too. My beautiful gardens are really a weed garden this year, because we have had no time to do anything with them so far this year....scratch that hubby did weed spray today after I threatened him I was hiring a gardener
