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

[Tnkrbelle565]

Hi,
I just finished my shirt for the NICOLEDISNEYFAN big give. I signed up to make a Mickey shirt for Victor. Then I realized that the family would be going to MNSSHP so I made it a Halloween themed shirt. I made it using CarlaC's bowling shirt pattern.

This is the back

And here is the front. I found the cute Mickey Halloween fabric at Joann's this week. I bought enough to make some Halloween outfits for my boys too.

I plan to get this mailed tomorrow (if the fates and my 2 year old cooperate ).

Oh that's fantastic!!!

 

[daisylou]

Oh that's fantastic!!!

Thanks!

Wow! That looks great! What a cute idea to do a pumpkin Mickey head!! I when I read "if the fates and my 2 year old cooperate." I can SO relate to that remark!

Thanks! I remembered someone on the original thread had done pumpkin Mickey shirts last year and I thought they were so cute. I couldn't have done it without your helpful tutorial though!

Okay so when I try to do the thumbnail thing all the pictures get deleted!

I made a school outfit for Tessa this week. I'm not sure if it's going to be her first day outfit or not. She LOVES it, so I'm leaning towards yes.

What an absolutely DARLING outfit! It's VERY Tessa! I got a little sniffly just looking at that pretty baby in her first day of school dress! Tessa is going to do GREAT at school!!

I finished my DD animal kingdom outfit today. It is big but I think it looks cute.

SOOO cute!!! I love it!! Pretty house too!!

Hi guys!! sorry i have meen MIA lately, but there is a lot going on around here and I go back to school TOMORROW so I have been busy. Here it the sewing i have accomplished though:

Thanks for saying that!

Thinking of you getting sniffly made me get a little sniffly, too. I was looking through the Babies R Us ad today and got myself all teary thinking that I'll never need to buy that stuff again.

Thanks for saying that!

Thinking of you and Miss Cammie getting all sniffly and looking at that picture of Tessa again made me get sniffly too. Of course I just looked at GoofyDoo's "we're home" pictures on her PTR so I was already sniffly to start with. I'm pitiful.

OK, since I have been so busy lately I have been in Lurkmode. Therefore I have a HUGE multiquote:

One month till I am officially back in school I am really not ready yet but somehow by the end of the month I get around to it
I bought some Debbie Mum back-to-school fabric. It was on sale I combined a Simply Sweet top and Carla's stripwork skirt into one dress. I still have to make another one for my other DD. Oh and DD insisted on the Cindy tiara today so there you go

This outfit looks great! You can never have too many pics

Here are the pictures of my babies when Lilly was 10 days old. I had her take pictures of each of the girls individually since they all just had birthdays (Grace just turned 5 last Saturday and Claire turned 3 in June). Sorry for so many pictures, get ready for photo overload!

Thanks for sharing these. They are beautiful! Baby Lily is gorgeous!

Well I decided to do the applique.

SAHM1000 - I love the family photos!

It is perfect with the applique!

Some very impressive things today ladies and gent!!! Sahm, love the pics of your family. We still haven't take an family photo (unless you count the ones that the Photopass photographers take!).

So my update for today is that I spent the last 12 hours scrapbooking and finished Ash's 2-3 year book!!! I'm finally catching up! I missed the Red Sox game but that's ok I guess! Aisling returned home from StoryLane (MIL decided NOT to dress her in the custom that I sent...seriously, this woman was not made to parent girls) because she thought that a tshirt and jean shorts was more appropriate! HUH???? No, the homemade princess dress is more appropriate! Oh well!

Wait! You missed the Sox game to scrap! What is wrong with you!?! JK. When I scrap I pull my stuff into sight of the TV so I can see the game too. I am a true NE'er. lol. I hope Aisling is feeling better!

Hey everyone. I wanted to share my BIG GIVE story.

I was asking about who is elgible for the big give before we stated only MAW is going to happen and a couple of people offered to give to my daughter. One I have become very good freinds with because our daughters have similar delays, diagnosis. The other has blessed us and also became a friend of the entire family. This person is CATHY. TWOB4HIM is so great to my daughter. We are blessed to have received not ONE but TWO awsome outifts complete with custom bottle cap necklaces (compliments of her daughter) that Chianna loves. She also sent a mickey mouse purse, minnie figurine, princess and mickey stickers, and s princess stationary set. Of course my daughter was on cloud 9. She gathered all her goodies and took them to her room and hid them from her sisters. LOL!

Anyway, I wanted to personally thank Cathy for her kindness and show all of you what a wonderful job her and her daughter did on these sets. My daughters favorite is the Ariel set. But I am especially fond of the Cinderella set, because you see, Chianna has fine motor delays that don[t allow her to do the finer things with her fingers (such as buttoning) but with these cool (perfectly colored for cinderella) buttons Chianna can button her own dress. What an accomplishment!

Chianna Striking a pose

Wow! How super of Cathy! She looks adorable!

I posted a picture of this outfit, before it was done...a long time ago..

Love it.

I decided that the girls will be a bride and groom for Halloween.

was trying hard to be scary...she did wind up scaring the dog...LOL

I have to tell ya... she really does look creepy. So great job!

Ok ladies, I did it. After faithfully reading this thread for a year, I bought a sewing machine today !!! I am so excited to get started, I have never touched a sewing machine so while reading the manual I am a little intimidated. I am sure it will take me a while to learn all the bells and whistles. I got the machine, it's a Brother and is a special edition Project Runway model for $130.00. I bought some clearance fabric and will practice on that. We are going to MVMCP in December and my goal is to make matching outfits for DD and DNiece. I bought some Mickey and Cinderella appliques yesterday and plan on finishing off some plain shirts with the appliques and other trimmings.

I am so excited to get started, of course DH has already said don't try to make any matching shirts for him because I would be wasting my time. He is such a party pooper. Oh well back to the manual, you know I bought fabric, good scissors but what did I forget to buy, Thread!!! So back to the store tomorrow after work so I can play around with the machine a little bit tomorrow night.

Yay!!!! So glad you are here to join us! I can't wait to see what you make!

Here is the first picture of my 3 kiddos. My mom made the girls outfit, and I just happen to have a frog outfit for my little man. Enjoy!

They are beautiful!

I finished Joe's shirt for Chef Mickey's. I never knew how difficult it can be to sew on black-my eyes aren't as young as they used to be. I liked Lisa's idea of yellow & red buttons but went with the black ones I had on hand.

They all look great!

Just wanted to update everyone on the Make a wish for my daughter!

We met with our wish granters tonight! In fact we Just walked in the door!

Zoe was so shy lol, but it was adorable! They came with toys for the kids (A cinderella crown, a princess puzzle, Markers, crayons coloring books ect) Zoe's first wish was to go on a disney cruise for a week and swim with dolphins and learn to snorkle! She also added a night in CInderellas castle but I doubt they could do that. lol, It is nice to dream about tho!

They needed a second wish in case the first one could not be granted. She wished for a trip to Hawaii where she wanted to do the same things but also Visit Pearl Harbor and the black sand beach.

Awesome! I can't wait to hear what happens!

He everyone! You have been busy little girls while I have been away! I was able to steal a little internet on the dock, so I watched some of what you guys were doing . It is really slow, so I didn't comment, but I am very impressed as usual.

Riley and I got home this afternoon and we are going to go back down tomorrow afternoon and take her best friend. I am a little concerned right now, but I am trying not to freak out. Riley is laying on the couch and her head feels warm. She says she isn't in pain, but she doesn't fee totally normal. I am hoping that she is just as tired as I am. I am praying like crazy that she isn't sick. School starts on the 12th so we are running out of time to figure this out.

We had a great time. We went to the outlet mall in Osage and got some great deals and then spent yesterday at "big surf" water park. It was pretty hot and probably will be when we go back tomorrow.

I was going to have to drive to Iowa to pick Drew up, but my bil is having boys weekend at the lake so he is just going to bring Drew to me there! WooHOooooo!!!!! I am saving about $150 on gas!!!!!!

I have been thinking about Riley. She is in my prayers.

The girls got their haircut today....short!

I really like their hair short, and you had me with your youngest. LoL! Zofia's hair got cut short (I mean short, wait 'till you see a pic) but not by choice. Nathan and her decided to play barber shop with my Craft scissors! So I took her to get a little pixie cut because she cut it right to the root in some spots! This was the day before her Bday (last Wednesday).

My dd turns 5 yesterday! Hard to believe that my little baby girl is now 5 years old!!

Kirsten and Zofia are almost the same age! Zoe's Birthday was last Thursday (31st) and she also turned 5. Her party is this weekend and she can't wait!

I made a school outfit for Tessa this week. I'm not sure if it's going to be her first day outfit or not. She LOVES it, so I'm leaning towards yes.

I used my dad's SLR camera. That thing is so cool! I think I might steal it from him. So, these pics were taken in their yard. I also had fun decorating them with Corel paint shop.

I have to say, this is a fave of mine of your's (did that make sense?) I think it is adorable on Tessa!

Alrighty...here is my first picture post!

These are the first dresses I made my DDs and their dolly...

Great job!!!!

I finished my DD animal kingdom outfit today. It is big but I think it looks cute.

You amaze me! There is no way you are a newbie! She is soooo cute!

Hi guys!! sorry i have meen MIA lately, but there is a lot going on around here and I go back to school TOMORROW so I have been busy. Here it the sewing i have accomplished though:
1. Justice League Dress requested by DD:

The outfits are great! I especially love the Justice league one though. My boys love that show!

Ok, this is just great! I love it. I also need that fabric!

That is so cute!!! It doesn't look too big, it looks perfect!!!
And, pretty house!

Teresa-hit your insert button next to the delete button. This should solve your problem with it replacing what is already typed.

Thank you!!!!!!

And, thank you for the update on Linette. I've been very worried about her.

1. I don't know why it happens, but Corey told me to click "insert" (in the very top row of keys on my laptop) and it corrects the problem. See, I can be taught!


3. That and your face, you silly girl!


9. Thank you! Yes, it takes great pictures when it's not in Dad's hands!



Wow, another fantastic outfit! Are you REALLY a beginner???

1. Now, why didn't I think to ask Corey??
3. AWw you are such a sweetie!
9. Poor Dad!

Just to add insult to injury... Last week I twisted my ankle. It was no big thing. It hurt but no swelling or bruising. Maybe 2 nights ago I twisted it again and it really hurt for a few minutesthen it was fine. I got home and realized that it was bothering me and looked down and it I all swollen. GRR! If aunt flo shows up on time I'll be doing just peachy like it could get worse for me today.
Tomorrow is a new day...

Oh T! OUCH!!!! I hope Aunt Flo stays away for a few days for yah!

!

Where did you get that fabric???!!!??!! Our brother David would love it if I made the girls something out of that!

It is so cute!

Thinking of you getting sniffly made me get a little sniffly, too. I was looking through the Babies R Us ad today and got myself all teary thinking that I'll never need to buy that stuff again.

Someday you will have Grandkids and Grand neices and nephews to buy for! I cry looking at those ads too!

Thinking of you and Miss Cammie getting all sniffly and looking at that picture of Tessa again made me get sniffly too. Of course I just looked at GoofyDoo's "we're home" pictures on her PTR so I was already sniffly to start with. I'm pitiful.

Mind if I join in?

 

[teresajoy]

I just updated my Trip Report. It's just a short day, so it will just take a minute if anyone wants to read it!

I don't think we'll have anyone searching ebay for THIS pout anytime soon!

I think she loves it!! She looks so great!!

You know when I was at Burlington coat factory I looked at the clearance racks and discovered they put 2T and above with the "big" kids clothes!! It was a depressing shopping trip buying a toddler bed and having to go "All the way" to the "big Girls" section to look at clothes! It was like being exiled out of babyland.
And I only have the one coach bag and it was a gift. I do have to admit though that dh has a coach shaving kit bag. But that was also a gift.

I really like their hair short, and you had me with your youngest. LoL! Zofia's hair got cut short (I mean short, wait 'till you see a pic) but not by choice.

You know they have that new hat pattern everyone has been raving about I hope her hair grows back quickly!!
And Happy Birthday to Zofia!! Can't wait to see her outfit!!


I am missing those adorable cuties in the AK outfit and the justice league/halloween outfits!! How cute are they!?!?!?

I updated my trip report for anyone who is interested. This is when we met Cinderella.

I made the same shirt (pumpkin applique) last week but mine is ugly! I just do not like it for some reason and can't figure out why.

 

[mommyof2princesses]

My dd turns 5 yesterday! Hard to believe that my little baby girl is now 5 years old!! She asked for a cupcake dress, and picked out this fabric...here is the dress that I made her:

DD and her favorite birthday present...her very first AG doll - a just like you doll which she named after herself, Kirsten....her poor Sleeping Beauty Doll that she got at WDW has been neglected and possibly replaced!

Happy Birthday to your princess! I love the dress! My dd turns 5 next month!

Hey everyone!! I have been loving all of your creations, you guys are sure an inspiration!! Well I Have finally finished my project, and a couple more! I am so proud of myself for learning to sew, not a big thing for you guys, but I am still proud of my simple accomplishments!!
Here is my first creation

Here is a Winnie the Pooh shirt(no she is not holding the cat, she decided to jump up when I was taking the pic..lol)

And back
Minnie dress with matching doll dress

Skirt (I had made that for Abby to wear to her cousins bday party on Sunday, well they had a musician playing a guitar and singing, and some of the people were dancing around, got hot and decided to take the cover off of the easy set pool (about knee deep on an adult) and dance around in it, well they put Abby in it too and the skirt got all creased and muddy and yucky, I was scared because I hadn’t had time to stitch the elastic together and tuck it into the waist band so I thought it was going to break, but it didn’t!)

Thanks for looking!!

You did a fab job! congrats for learning how to sew! It is so much fun, isnt it! Love the winnie the pooh top!

Here is my latest stuff.
A purse I made my mom along with a sunglass case. I am not happy with how it came out but oh well. My ,machine kept jamming I think because the fabric and the interfacing were too think.

The matching skirts I made for Nikki and my niece. I put it on her AG doll and had her hold the extra fabric in the back, Problem is now she wants one for her Nicki doll!

she matches so well huh I am going to make them both white peasent tops to go with them.


I had such a hard time with Nik's skirt ugh I kept screwing up on it. I sewed the ruffle ad the yellow peice on the wrong way but there were too many layers of stitching so I just cut it off and sewed it on the other way

The skirt is really cute! And I really like the purse. You sound like my mom. She made a similar purse yesterday and then thought it came out bad...even though I saw nothing wrong with it!

So I just got word from my mom that she is going to help me pay for Georgia's 7th birthday.....at DISNEYLAND!! I am soo darn excited. We are just going to say we are going to visit Grandma for the weekend and not tell her until we get down there. hehehe

So I guess I better dust that machine off asap and get to work on her outfits! on top of school clothes. ha!

YAH! Mom is the bomb!

Where do you all get the red with white dot minnie fabric? I have small white dots but I have yet to see the big white dots. Thanks!

Hancocks!

Hi everyone! Just dropping in to say Hello and to catch up! We had such a busy weekend...

Friday I took Timmy back to the doctor to have him checked again...he goes into a cast this Thursday. The doctor opted to leave it off over the weekend becasue we were going to the beach. He said we could take the splint off to go in the water. DH and me were scared that he would hurt it worse because he is so rough. So we left eh splint on and found this really cool thing you can put over the cast or in our case splint to waterproof it.




Here they all are before getting wet...

Here is Timmy "surfing" (that's what he calls it!)

Katie in the boogie board and Patrick playing with his boat...

We had a blast at the beach and it was so nice that we didn't have to worry about his arm!

We had a good time just hanging out with the kids.

I also did a small update to my TRIP REPORT if anyone is interested!

They look like they had so much fun! I really miss the beach. Trying to convince dh that we need to visit virginia beach in 2 weeks when we visit his mom!

I don't know if anybody else has received this message, but I thought I would go ahead and post it.

Thanks for the update. I was really worried. Saying some extra prayers for her.

I made a school outfit for Tessa this week. I'm not sure if it's going to be her first day outfit or not. She LOVES it, so I'm leaning towards yes.

I used my dad's SLR camera. That thing is so cool! I think I might steal it from him. So, these pics were taken in their yard. I also had fun decorating them with Corel paint shop.

It is beautiful! A great first day outfit! I would certainly send my dd in it!

Just got bad news about the sink hole. It looks like the ins. co. is going to pay for the structure remediation directly to the contractor and is only giving me $11,000.00 for cosmetic damages and I owe the Public Adjuster I hired to handle the thing 10% which is roughly $9,000.00 So, I will have $2000.00 to repair all of the cracks in the stucco and block, my grout joints in the bathroom, the cracks in all of the drywall throughout the house, replace my linoleum that is molding and lifting from water damage fom the cracks in the block, replace molding and my kitchen backsplash which are lifting from the same thing. and I'm not sure what all else....OH YEAH paint my house after the cracks in the block are repaired. Not to mention whatever damage they cause to landscape and or the house when they put my house on jacks to drill large holes under it to pipe in concrete.
This was me when they told me

My public adjuster recommends that I hire an attorney b/c he feels that the ins. co. is not working in my favor. I will see what the attorney has to say but basically it comes down to THIS

I owe $164000.00 on the house. The attorney will charge me 20(ish)% and the Public Adjuster 10% of whatever the settlement is. So in order to pay them and my mortgage I'm going to have to get 3x what they are currently willing to give me.


I didn't mean to get all whiney but I needed to vent. Sorry and thanks.
...t.

Go ahead and vent away girl! That is what we are here for. I am so sorry that this is happening to you.

Alrighty...here is my first picture post!

These are the first dresses I made my DDs and their dolly...

And here is the first Disney outfit so far...This is the one that the bias tape was giving me so much trouble on. And I don't know why the top came out so wide on her, but she's excited! (me too...I finally finished something in less than a week!)

And I started on making a Wall-E shirt for DS, since last night I finally learned how to make a buttonhole!

Great job! I HATE bias tape. If I can get away without using it, I do. You did a great job on both outfits!

I finished my DD animal kingdom outfit today. It is big but I think it looks cute.

i love it! I love the way you have been making those tops. so cute!

Just to add insult to injury... Last week I twisted my ankle. It was no big thing. It hurt but no swelling or bruising. Maybe 2 nights ago I twisted it again and it really hurt for a few minutesthen it was fine. I got home and realized that it was bothering me and looked down and it I all swollen. GRR!

Tomorrow is a new day...

I want to send you some hugs.

Hi,
I just finished my shirt for the NICOLEDISNEYFAN big give. I signed up to make a Mickey shirt for Victor. Then I realized that the family would be going to MNSSHP so I made it a Halloween themed shirt. I made it using CarlaC's bowling shirt pattern.

This is the back

And here is the front. I found the cute Mickey Halloween fabric at Joann's this week. I bought enough to make some Halloween outfits for my boys too.

I plan to get this mailed tomorrow (if the fates and my 2 year old cooperate ).

Love the shirt! I really want that halloween material. I hope joanns has it in 2 weeks!

I just updated my Trip Report. It's just a short day, so it will just take a minute if anyone wants to read it!

I promise to read everyones trip reports! I have been uber busy!

 

[minnie2]

That's it. I have had it. I have made 3 different kinds of dresses/skirts out of the eyelet I bought for myself (I wanted a flowy summer dress) and all of them look terrible. I either look like a walking down comforter, a nurse, or a volcan. I kept trying different styles after ripping the previous ones' seams out and I have yet to make anything that does not cause snickers or scares small children. I need this outfit for a family photo shoot on the beach. If I was thin this would be much easier but alas I am not. I am very frustrated this evening.

I finished my DD animal kingdom outfit today. It is big but I think it looks cute.

That is too cute!

Love the JL dress! Too cool! the Halloween outfit is great! I think I might have to make Halloween outfits for my kids now!

I need to start my moms other purse I am making but I am so bummed about the other one I can't get motivated. I have to enlarge the pattern for her too UGH!

OMg Ladies! I told you how I am one of Nik's cheer coaches. When I signed up we were told we just need to make sure the girls are safe and the HS Jr coaches would teach the girls all the cheers. WRONG! One of the other (aunt coaches) was asked to make up the cheers and us mom coaches had to learn them to teach them to the girls So being the good mom's and coaches we are we headed to the local park early yesterday to learn the cheers. Well Kyle and one of the other mom's little boys were playing on the playground and Kyle comes running over saying 'Mom try and his dad are here!' Great that means some one i know is going to see me make a fool of my self trying to learn these cheers! We dubbed our selves the rocking chair cheer leaders or geriatric cheer leaders We are half expecting to see a video on youtube of us doing these cheers in the park! Then it came to the REAL cheer practice and WE had to teach these cheers to 70 girls! I am so soar!!!!!! Who would have thought that would be such a work out! So ladies watch out I guess i learn how to shake my pom poms!

OMg Ladies! I told you how I am one of Nik's cheer coaches. When I signed up we were told we just need to make sure the girls are safe and the HS Jr coaches would teach the girls all the cheers. WRONG! One of the other (aunt coaches) was asked to make up the cheers and us mom coaches had to learn them to teach them to the girls So being the good mom's and coaches we are we headed to the local park early yesterday to learn the cheers. Well Kyle and one of the other mom's little boys were playing on the playground and Kyle comes running over saying 'Mom try and his dad are here!' Great that means some one i know is going to see me make a fool of my self trying to learn these cheers! We dubbed our selves the rocking chair cheer leaders or geriatric cheer leaders We are half expecting to see a video on youtube of us doing these cheers in the park! Then it came to the REAL cheer practice and WE had to teach these cheers to 70 girls! I am so soar!!!!!! Who would have thought that would be such a work out! So ladies watch out I guess i learn how to shake my pom poms!

Am I mean that I'm going directly to youtube and searching for geriatric cheerleaders?

NO not at all! I would infact I think I might check too! Us coaches also threatened along with some of the moms that if the girls didn't stop clowning round we were going to wear shirts with our dd's names on them and cheer at the half time of the games just to embarrass them! Let's just say the girls payed attention then! I'm such a mean mom!

I am sorry for being a pain but where can I find CarlaC's bowling shirt pattern? I checked the bookmarks and I can't find it. Again- I am sorry to be a pain.

You aren't a pain at all! We're all here to answer questions and support each other.

Go to www.youcanmakethis.com and search for bowling shirt. You'll see CarlaC's shirt pattern. You can also click on "CarlaC dolly Designs" up in the right hand corner and you will see all of her patterns. They are the BEST!

You know they have that new hat pattern everyone has been raving about I hope her hair grows back quickly!!
And Happy Birthday to Zofia!! Can't wait to see her outfit!!

After the incident (That's what I refer to it as now. ) I did buy that pattern, with that very intention. It'll grow back. I just gotta keep reminding myself that. Nathan (who also cut his hair) just got a buzz cut, so it was easy to fix, it was not easy to "fix" Zoe's. Oh well.
And without further ado, Zofia's birthday outfit!

I have to tell you, I think it is my favorite thus far!

unmodeled

Zofia likes to be very un-lady like, so I made some capri's, and I tried to mask her hair somewhat with a headband.
