Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes Part 5

[Stephres]

Yoo Hoo, all you late nighter ladies ...
Ok, curious folk just gotta know...after you put the younglings to bed
& get cranking out these fabulous creations,
do you get to sleep in the next morning?
Does DH get the kids to school for you?

I must say I'm just green with envy because ds(6)
get's the bus at 6:45 am. He goes to bed quick
at 8:30-9pm, but he's an early riser-often up before
the sun at 6:00 am or earlier. It is impossible for
me to stay up late & create/work on anything-my brain
is a mush puddle at 8:00pm!!!

I was determined to get some sewing done last night
& drank coffee for dinner, to fight the exhaustion.
Still didn't work-I cut up fabric all wrong & crooked.
Then decided-I'll just cyber Christmas shop.
Just about snoozed out some where between "shopping cart" & price comparing!
So I hit the hay & couldn't rest all night due to my
cup of joe surging & my brain trying to do financial calculations (shopping)!!!

Here's to all the late night crew ,
I admire you much & one day-one day hope to be in the company!!!

Well, I can tell you I have the same problem. My littlest gets up at 6am so that's when I am up. Sometimes I try to sew after the go to bed but I really do my best sewing before it gets dark.

I can see a difference. Could barely see your do on the origional picture. You could try some horsehair braid. Or make a petticoat with more netting in it. I use petticoat net. The only place I've seen it is Walmart. But I was just in JoAnne's and they have some colored petticoat net in the bridal department. It's like a craft net, but really, really stiff.

Thank you, but please use a thumbnail next time! I scared myself (why do I look so mad!).

May sound crazy but here is what my mom did years ago (nearly 30 years ago) when I was in a wedding, mind you the dress was floor length. She made a 1/2 slip for it and then at the bottom she attached a hoop (similar to a hula hoop). It made it stand out.

I am going to throw out another crazy suggestion. If you have enough spare/scrap material, make yourself a twirl skirt but instead of the skirt having a hem, make it like you would a puffy curtain and stuff it with the Wal-Mart sacks. Does that make sense? I bet it would work.

I think I am so lazy that now that I am done with this, I am done. And thumbnails people!

LOL at the math comment. Math and I really get along so I would much rather use that than a pattern if I can. Oh, and I did an apple first and a Mickey head second!


Thanks, Deann! Oh, and be careful what you say, my dh packed his stuff last year, guess what he forgot? His underwear!! All he had was the pair on his hiney. And did you know there is almost no men's underwear to be bought in almost all of Disney World? We finally managed to find some and they didn't have his size So we kept looking and ended buying just one pair for $25! Guess who had to handwash a pair every night for our whole trip?

1) I really did ok in math in school, but for some reason I have such problems when I am trying to figure something out when I am sewing!
2) You should have made him wash it, LOL!

And here is a close up of the little einsteins fabric

Thank you! Hancocks is over an hour away from here, so I'm thinking ebay

Here's a close-up so you can see they're not American flag skirts.

Now, I have 2 long-sleeved white t-shirts that I want to applique something on to match these. Does anyone have any ideas? I want to use one (or both) of the fabrics from the skirt.

Love them so much! Like everyone else, I highly suggest a gingerbread applique.

2) You should have made him wash it, LOL!

Trust me, I did

This is the teddy bear fabric I used for Lily's thanksgiving dress that she wouldnt' wear.. someday I'll get a picture of it. I found a coordinating print w/ tiny apples and flowers all over. Glad to see someone else liked it!

So, I bought christmas fabric today . B was I needed a new SS card so I went to the office which is in the next town. They were closed. So I went to the super- Joanns that is there. Chistmas stuff was 50% off. Of course that was excluding Debbie Mum stuff which is what I got of course. But it was still 30% off.
When I started figuring out the yardage I needed a bit more than I thought originally and online I'd have to order by whole yards, so cheaper fabric that was on sale and being able to order partial yards made a huge difference. B said that she can wear a dress she has for christmas that she needs presents, but it's bought and can't be returned so now I'll just have to make the outfit.
I almost bought a fat quarter bundle to make a patchwork dress in the same style as the one Tom made...but still had my heart set on the layered skirt. I'm going to start cutting it out now...when I'm rushed everything goes wrong not to mention I need to get our christmas pictures out.

I got the job!! They finally called me to come take a drug test which is the final process they don't know if the results will come back in time to start training on Mon. which is a bummer cause they only start training on the first day of a pay period. So if not I'll have to wait 2 more weeks I told them as long as they're not checking for chocolate we're solid.

Well, I can't blame you on the fabric purchase!! It seems to be my MAJOR weakness!!!

Congrats on the job, t!!! I sure hope that you can start as soon as possible!!!

Here is the fabric I picked. I don't like it as well as the designer stuff I found online, but I'll get over it. I suppose I can't always get my way.

Love it! Miss Lily (or is it Lili? Lilly? Lillie?) will look adorable!

 

[t-beri]

Lily. You know I have gotten grief from everyone since day one over the spelling of her nickname. Cause her full name is Liliana and yet I have always spelled lily w/ a Y not an I even though I'm Tifani w/ an I not a Y. I have an I because my mom's name is Toni so logic would follow that I would spell it w/ an I to follow suit. But honestly I never gave it any thought. The plant is spelled Lily and that is just how I instinctively spelled it. Wierd.
Overthought and probably of NO interest to any of you so sorry for the ramble.

All my quotes are of you, Tifani so just one reply
I never saw the tiny apple print but I was thrilled to see the large apples. Worked for me!
on getting the job! Here's hoping your test results come back soon so you can start training.
You know, when I first looked through the Debbie Mumm fabric I didn't care for it really. But now that I see the pics, I really like the red snowflakes and also the plaid. Hmm, it might require another consideration.
And lastly, I do call my Tabitha by the shortened version of Tabi and I have one friend who insists on spelling it Tabby. Drives me nuts! It cracky me up that you are the opposite and make it a -y- for Liliana.

Hi All,

Sorry I haven't been around much recently. I've been trying to get everything ready for the surgery, which will be on Wednesday.

My mother decided I don't need her help, so she's not coming to give me a hand, even though she lives only about 90 minutes away and has nothing better to do (I asked). I was really hurt, so I decided to give myself a few hours of "therapy" AKA sewing. This is what I ended up with.

This is a detail of the front. It's highlighted with metallic thread which is not translating in the picture.​

It it MUCH prettier in real life, and not uneven, that's just the layout on the floor. It also needs a final ironing. I'll try to post pics tomorrow of DD wearing it, she's asleep now.

I also have an Ariel pink dress and a navy blue school dress in the works. I just wanted to get ontot he DIS, and showing this dress off is my excuse.

Thanks for being here.

CONGATS on the job. Whoohoo!

I love this fabric. I can't wait to see it finished!

It, interests me...I'm Nanci with an "I". Nobody ever gets it right though, if they remember the i, they for get the 2nd n...Naci...weird, huh? My sister is Judi, but that seems more common. I do know who to blame now after almost (cough) 40 years...my dad. He adopted a dog from the humane society, and decided to keep his name and change the spelling, so now they have a Kodi, just to keep it in the family.
Enjoy my ramble too...

That's really pretty. Is the white around the middle a sash? I love the metallic thread. Great job!

 

[TinkerbelleMom]

Thanks! congrats on the final payment...makes the vacation seem so much more "real" doesn't it?

I made a Star Wars dress for my niece who turned 5 on Thanksgiving. She loves Star Wars. There wasn't much Star Wars fabric to pick from, only black with lime green Yoda or black with red Darth Vader. I went with Yoda. I added lime green ric-rac and it didn't turn out too bad. Of course, I forgot to take a picture of it! Can you believe that?!?! How annoying.

Hi. Thank you. Yes, it's a sash. I didn't iron it after finishing, which is why it isn't lying flat....it's also kind of short, so I might remove it and make a longer one. I'll have to ask DD.

Thanks again!

 

[fortheluvofpooh]

guess what I got at walmart today..... youbetcha....... Hannah Montana fabric. Can't wait to make something with it.

 

[tanyaandallie]

I found PINK princess leia (a cartoon version) flannel at Joann's today. I was so excited. If I wouldn't have already known I was in trouble for buying the christmas fabric I would have bought it.

I love the silver slippers...just beautiful work.

I am figuring out the measurements for cutting the fabric and getting a little more excited an forgetting about getting yelled at and not getting the fabric I really wanted.

I LOVE repro depot fabrics!! They have this very great vintage, kitschy kinda halloween pattern I LOVED but didn't find it till after halloween. If I ever think to go back when I'm not broke I will order it for next year.

So just to be the devil on your shoulder I say do it!!
