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

[LisaZoe]

I don't think phishing is something you have to worry about at the Disboutique board, I don't know why a scan would say it was a phishing site. We aren't trying to get any information out of you.

ABOUT THE DISBOUTIQUER BOARD AND PHISHING -
Is it possible that it shows as a phishing site because I have the ability to mass email from that group? I have sent a mass email and posted a link back to the site. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

I have a feeling it's not the Disboutique board specifically but proboards in general could be the concern. On sites like that where anyone can start a boards with little effort, unless you already are familiar with the person who started the board, you never know who is behind it and their motives for setting it up.

Those of you with a serger, any tips for serger around the armhole??? I was making CarlaC's peasant top, and went ahead and use the serger instead of zigzagging around the armholes...and oooops, it cut right through the body and sleeves! Also, do you serge all the raw edges after you cut out the pieces, or do you serge all the raw edges after you are finish the outfit?

Ack, I always worry about doing that with a serger. I've come close but luckily never actually cut the fabric in the wrong spot.

I stitch a seam on my regular machine and then "finish" it with the serger. If you do all the seams first it would be harder to serge them later.

THOSE WITH ADOPTED CHILDREN! HELP!
I went yesterday to register AbbyGrace for school. I took her original birth certificate from China. I also took her adoption certificate. The school didn't want a copy of her adoption certificate, so they only took a copy of the birth certificate. Today I get a call from the school asking if I knew if I had to have a TEXAS birth certificate to register her in school. Well, NO, I've never been told that. It doesn't sound right to me. My SW NEVER said that this was the case, and what about all of the children that weren't born in Texas - they aren't allowed to go to school here? What about all of the children from Mexico that live in this state? Does this sound right? Any suggestions on what I need to do? We've not gone through the process of re-adoption because we were told that it wasn't legally necessary, it would just be a convenience. Any thoughts?

That doens't sound right but I don't know how they do things with international adoptions. I found this information that might be helpful:

Big Give for MistyMouse/Dylan

Dallas is NOT a good model! He did want to keep the outfit though!

ETA:

About to send it out and does anyone have an idea as to what I should put for to whom? It has an address but no name? Should I just put Misty? or Dylan and her ID or something? I know the post office will not deliver an item with just an address. Any thoughts?

This looks great. I was thinking about doing something like this for my nephew, but try to make the cutout look like the laser or the car. But would anyone be able to tell what it was?

Hi there, I think I finally found something that I can have my dd5 volunteer in. Love her to pieces, but like many children she does not really appreciate things. My idea is to have her and I, sew blankets or basic stuffed teddy bears and then take them to either a children's hospital or shelter. That being said, I know zero about sewing. My mom may have an old machine or I think I've heard of some type of "sewing" that is more like tape? I truly don't know! What do you guys think, any suggestions?

I think it's a great idea. My mother makes hats for the cancer association (for women that lost thier hair) and crochets and sews blankets for premies at the hospital. Why don't you call and ask what they need the most, or what they take?

OK everyone- here's what I have been working on the past few days.

By way of explanation- I teach the 7-8 year old kids at church. In our church when kids turn 8 they are baptized. So, I thought it might be nice to make one of those books for each child when they are Baptized so that can remember their Baptism. I took pictures of each page so you can see what the inside looks like. They are incomplete for now.- The kids will fill in with photos, their thoughts, talks from their Baptism etc. This book is for a girl. When I do the boys I think I'll do it in primary colors and not make it so foo-foo-y. Do you think this is something a boy would even want??? What about the girls? Is this age appropriate for them or is it too little girl or too big girl for them??

Just took a look at one page in particular.... I need to add something- looks too plain.

EDITED TO ADD: If you think this is not age appropriate- can you PLEASE make some suggestions as to what would be a better way to make it age appropriate? My youngest is 24- I think she would've loved it when she was 8- but time's change- ya know???

This is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I wish I could do this!!

I LOVE this! Would you mind PMing me instructions as well? I'd love to be able to do something like this.

You do not have to have a Texas birth certificate. I teach in a multilingual public school in the Houston area and my children have birth certificates from all over the world--including other states in the U.S. Call them back and tell them they have what they need and if they want a copy of the adoption papers, you will be glad to provide them.

travelinGal:
how do you get the pattern on the clothes?
what kind of paint do you use?

 

[iheartdisney]

Hi everyone!

I am a buyer of customs for Disney and love the gal who makes my daughter's outfits!

I am needing some ideas for Epcot outfits!
For Magic Kingdom, my 6 year old will do giselle, but not sure about my 3 1/2 year old! I was thinking something other than princess!

Any ideas?

I'm a beginner, so not nearly as creative as most of the ladies here, but...
We are having dinner at CR, so I was planning on some Nemo-themed fabrics for our Epcot day.
For the 3 yr old, what about Pooh for Magic Kingdom?

 

[SallyfromDE]

TeresaJoy, is this any better?

I just tried to enhance the photo.

 

[CastleCreations]

Hello...Here I am again, making outfits that I really shouldn't be...I still have 2 outfits to make for our cruise... Anywho, here is Ireland's Witchy Minnie for our day at MK, during Halloween.
I haven't made Alexis's yet...boy I have a lot to do. Anywho, the bottom isn't hemmed yet...I'm putting a band of either the orange or the candycorn along the bottom...

After posting the pictures...I see that the top looks weird around the top of the bodice. The dress is WAY to big for the hanger, but the top looks like the bodices that I usually make...It's not straight across...

 

[Tinka_Belle]

I have this tutorial saved. It looks like it might work

Now that is a cute fanny pack.

Ok, they've been done a lot, but they're just so cute I had to make one too.

Princess storybook skirt for dd4 (almost 5 )

Mickey one for dd2.

I aksed her to twirl & I got this

Ok, so dd2's was a skirt & when I put it on her she immediately pulled up like a dress. No matter what I tried so kept pulling it up. So I added the ribbons so I could tie it on halter style. I figure I can take the ribbons off later & she can wear it as a skirt then.

Those are so cute. Love the twirl?

That is very pretty. I love the Minnie applique.

Jenna talked my grandpa into letting her buy fabric on his card. I don't think he knew what he was getting into. Anyways the total at the register was $89. She has some halloween outfits planned.

The site that Lisa posted does say that Texas recognizes international adoption the same as a domestic adoption so there shouldn't be a problem. People just don't know how to handle unusual circumstances. It's just very strange to me to think that in this day and age that there are those that are so inept when it comes to adoption. It's very frustrating to me.

Hi disboutiquers, I am not bigdisgrandma but I am her daughter Anne. She asked me to post this because she and my sister Lindsey are banned! Anyway, we have been busy at my mom's house doing a mini-big give. When mom read ibdamama's trip report about their Wish trip in 10 days, she said "Those little girls need a new dress for their trip!" There was certainly not time for something as incredible as the outfits that have come to Lindsey's children but she had to do something. So she got out the sewing machine and we girls did what we do best, we went shopping. Here are the pictures of the dresses that she made for Rachel, Mia and Ashley. We hope they love them as much as we loved putting together. We will send them off tomorrow with some extra surprises in the package for them.

Thanks for letting me post this. Mom is pretty excited to start the pay it forward plan! Again thanks for everything you are doing for Lindsey, Bryan, Brody, Karlyn and Gabby.

Bigdisaunt sounds great to me! Those outfits are wonderful! I am so glad that the pixie dust is spreading! It is just so much fun! Thanks for sharing! Can't wait until bigdisgrandma can join us over here, and mom too.

Add me to your list of admirers! That is gorgeous! Could you please PM me the directions too? Pretty please!

 

[karebear1]

This is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I wish I could do this!!

You can! All you need is a Cricut and the Cricut Design Studio software! I'll send you instructions of how to make the word books if you have them.

 

[Stephres]

I love these! How very clever to turn it into a dress, think of all the use you'll get out of it. I love your youngest pink shoes too, they are too cute!

what? it's weird to dress your dog up and wheel him around in his specially made dog carrige?

not that I do that...I just KNOW someone who does that...sometimes...

what?

*ahem*




I know what you mean though about heavy kids! Sally will sometimes want to be picked up...for whatever reason...even though she's 9...but seriously, it's like the child has lead in her veins...and weights attached to her clothes...she is SO incredibly heavy I can't believe it. And she's not overweight at all either...she's just very solid and muscular...which really prevents a lot of carrying!

1) I am sure lots of people use their little dog as a surrogate baby. I can't imagine there is anything weird about it.

2) Goodness, you should not be picking up Sally at all! Once you injure your back, it will never be the same!

Gorgeous! I don't know if 8 year old boys will appreciate it, but I bet their mothers will!

Those of you with a serger, any tips for serger around the armhole??? I was making CarlaC's peasant top, and went ahead and use the serger instead of zigzagging around the armholes...and oooops, it cut right through the body and sleeves! Also, do you serge all the raw edges after you cut out the pieces, or do you serge all the raw edges after you are finish the outfit?

I serge after I sew a seam that will show on the inside. My serger has a piece that comes off so you can sew in a circle (like the sewing machine). Do you have something like that? It might make it easier to serge the armholes.

I love that skirt. Are the directions in the bookmarks?

Yes, if you look under skirts, there is a whole sections called circle skirts that have the formula to use (not that I can manage to use it correctly, lol).

Very cool: another hit! I love how you did the straps.

Very cool Anne! Thanks for sharing them with us and you guys are so sweet to already be thinking about paying it forward. I am sure the girls will love them!

I have that Tinkerbelle fabric that I can't figure out what to do with. I love the simple a-line with the cute ruffle.

no i am sorry i didnt mean that anyone that makes clothing and does the big give project would be phishing, i just meant outsiders people who dont post and might just be looking for info. as i stated i dont really understand much about phishing and just wouldnt want any of you lovely ladies or the families we are helping to be scammed. i didnt intend to imply anyone on here would do anything like that and big apologies if that is how it came across. i'm so sorry

I practice law in Alabama but I am not familiar with Texas adoption code. Check to see if you can have the adoption domesticated as a foreign judgment. This would take a lot less time and money to complete. If you do not know a local atty, you can call your state bar association and request a referral for an adoption atty in your area. Good luck.
