Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes Part 5

[luv2go2disney]

DS2 had a Mickey Mouse birthday party in October. I bought all the nieces and nephews shirts and sewed Mickey heads on them with dental floss. I then rubberbanded the heads so no one would know that's what they were. Of course, my sister guessed what I was up to. Anyway, for the party, all the kids took their shirts and added rubberbands to make tie-dye-type shirts. Instead of using tie-dye, we put the shirts in bleach. When we took the rubberbands off, everyone had a Mickey shirt. Some of the girls added spray-on glitter to their shirts. Here's how they turned out. The blue ones are for the boys.

Do you mean that the shirts were colored shirts, so the mickey and other darker areas are more of the color of the shirt when you started? That is a cool idea instead of tie-dying. How long did you soak them, did you soak them in full strength bleach? TIA my kids would love this, I have been wanting to do this, but I didn't want to tie-dye.

9. Make hubby Cook dinner because after all I did turn 28 today.

Happy Birthday!!! I hope you have a great day!

VERY cute! Every time I see your older DD, I think "There's little Shawna." (my SIL). They're both so adorable!

What a little doll!! I love the outfit, too. You made such great fabric choices! Love the pictures, too. Perfect!

Okay, who jinxed this thread? After many years of playing basketball, volleyball, training and running a marathon I NEVER sprained my ankle. Today as I was coming down the stairs the phone started to ring so I picked up my pace to answer it and severely sprained my ankle. My DH thinks I did it so I don't have to clean the house for all his relatives. Please think positive thoughts for my foot since we leave in 27 days for WDW and we are commando style tourers. It's also my right ankle, which is my driving foot for the sewing machine.

Yikes!!! Sprained ankles really hurt!!! I feel for yah, especially it being your "driving foot" and all.

Isn't that brown sparkly fabric the coolest. I too got a yard of it when I got Heathers and it is now part of a blanket I made for my dn

Let's hear it for brown sparkly fabric! I feel like writing a poem:

Oh fabric so brown and sparkly,
You are so very very pretty.
Why do you hide and make me all panicy?
Don't you know ruffles are your destiny?

Thank you, thank you. I will accept paypal payments for royalties if you plan to use this poem in the future.

We also saw the new lights on the castle. AWESOME!!!!! I didn't post the castle pics because I don't want to spoil it for those going to see it themselves. It is TRULY amazing!!!!!!!

That girl is gorgeous! How cool to see her walking down Main Street USA with a flag. I got all teary just thinking about it.

Teresa sent me your castle lights picture and it is now my new desktop wallpaper!!

I'm glad to hear that your mom's husband is doing better and so are your sprits!

Cindee, I'm glad your day got better! Boy, I wish I could do that when I'm having a bad day! Could someone please remind me again why I live in Michigan?????

A-hem!! You live in Michigan because that's where your dear sister is!

Teresajoy, I used to ask myself the same thing when I lived in Michigan. I would cry on the airplane back to Michigan. I used to come down here 5 times a year-it was cheaper to stay! So I did! And my annual pass is MUCH cheaper as a FL resident LOL. Oh and no state income tax forms.........and did I mention no SNOW!!!!!!!!!!

I'm BACK LOL

Cindee

You better just KNOCK IT OFF!!! My DH won't move to Florida, so Teresa can't either! Besides, we'd have to bring along my mom and dad, my brother, all the cousins, aunts and uncles. I guess grandma could come along...if she wants.

[luv2go2disney]

OHHOHH I want to see the pics of the castle! Somebody please PM me the picture since my DH vetoed the WDW trip this year. This is how I feel about it

 

[revrob]

Would someone please PM the pics of the castle? Livndisney? Who else has them? I would love to put that pic on my desktop!

 

[disneymommieof2]

So cute!! Like someone said hopefully she can wear the top again next fall!! so much work for a OWO!!!

I took the expert advise from Nurse CastleCreations and went to Magic Kingdom today. I am so GLAD I took the time for myself. Morgan had the BEST time. She was asked to be in the Family Fun parade. She LOVED it!!!!!! To see her at the grand finale waving an american flag in front of a crowd of people on mainstreet brought tears to my eyes. To think two short years ago this little girl was in a fosterhome a world away..........

We also saw the new lights on the castle. AWESOME!!!!! I didn't post the castle pics because I don't want to spoil it for those going to see it themselves. It is TRULY amazing!!!!!!!

Cindee

Yay for the surgery going good. So glad you could make the day better- I think a little disney magic would be a great way to make anyones day better Cool about the parade- A special magic moment I'm sure you'll never forget!! We just got back from WDW last week I have to see the new castle lights- PLEASE pm me!!!

We love to tie-dye so I gotta know more about this- I read the other posts but a few more questions:
What type of shirts 50/50, 100% cotton & where did you get them??
I was thinking those ones at michaels and joanns would be a less expensive option they are 50/50 I think. Or do you think 100% cotton would be better. When we tie-dyed we bought shirts at jiffy.com and are really so much better then the packs of hanes they sell at stores with comparable prices!!
You Said like 30% bleach and soak for 1/2 hour, ok then straight in the wash Before un-tieing. Did you rinse first then wash or go straight washing with detergent?? Any extra rinse cycles?? I know when we tie-dye there is some extra rinsing.
We did mickey head tie-dye shirts for our trip. This would have been easier I think- the tie dyeing was fun though.

What a day!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! And be careful with that laundry!!!

Here is the Airplane Princess dress.

WOW you have been busy!!!! Same question as someone else- Pattern or No Pattern???


And about the teeth issues- I have bad teeth as does my DH so fingers crossed the kids won't have to go through what we went through. I had my first root canal at 12!! The dentist is not my friend. And I am do for a cleaning in less then 2 weeks
So Sorry Susan I think technology has helped alot in the medical & dental fields. My grandma had a bad labor experience too!! "At the end they just knocked her out and took the baby, she said she heard the Dr. say she's no good to us anymore"- I assume that means forceps- It was back in the 50's.

 

[disneymommieof2]

Heather I didn't know you are a talented writer as well!!!

Married 4 days after my 19th!!

 

[HeatherSue]

I knew yours would look better than mine!!!!! No fair! That applique is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, your appliques are always gorgeous, too! Don't sell yourself short!

You MIGHT have a Mermaid in Michigan. My Aunt is in Michigan. There is that rumor that she was a Weeki Woman YEARS ago. I will have to ask my other Aunt what she knows about that.

Wow, our very own Michigan mermaid!!

Awww and I am always wishing I lived IN Michigan....all my relatives live there and I miss them sooooooooo much!!! I told my DH that I want move and he just looks at me like I am crazy!!! hahahaha

Nothing crazy about living in Michigan to be close to family! Where do you live now?

Tomorrow is Norah's pre-school's Teddy Bear Picnic. Well, I happen to have a bunch of the cutest teddy bear picnic "fagrick" (how she pronounces it).

Fagrick, how funny! Can't wait to see some pics!!

Thank you for doing that i was just messing with you when i said that, but thanks for doing it.....

(actually, thank you for giving me an excuse to use my favorite smiley! )

Everyone's creations are AMAZING!!!! I have been following the best I can, but between sewing for our trip next week, teacher a bunch of kids Deck the Halls and Hip Hop Reindeer, fighting to get OT for my 6 year old , muscle biopsies and FINALLY having neuromuscular specialists at Children's Hospital in Boston thrown in to consult on our 18 month old I have been swamped. I have taken pics and hopefully will get them up this weekend..

Is it Friday yet? 6 days from now I will be in Disney!

I'm glad to see you on here even though you're busy! Please let us know how everything goes with your 18 month old!

I LOVE these!! Thanks for the instructions. TERESA will have to make some for our whole family for our May trip!

It will be after Tgiving when I get it done. I sent the bodice to my aunt for her to do the buttonholes. I didn't do the full face applique, I cheated and used a panel! I think I'm gonna replace it though when I get it back. Compared to yours, it just looks bad! Of course, everything you do is amazing. I also did one for dd8 that is red/gold and has Belle on it!

A-ha! I thought I had missed the photos! As I said before, don't put yourself down. I think your work is always professional looking! We're all our own worst critic!

But, remember, Steph is going to have a full out coniption if you don't post the Pokemon trainer outfits first. And, well, you just don't know what she might do if she gets too upset. We don't want any more fish tragedies now, do we.

Yes Wendy, do have any pet fish?! If so, you should get those pics up PRONTO!

It's absolutely adorable (and so is she, as usual)!! Aren't you glad you didn't chuck your machine now?

Thanks so much! I wanted to try to get a pic of them today wearing them. I will try to get my DD4 wearing hers, but my youngest is off to the doctor! She has an extrememly bad case of diaper rash, so all she has done is cry! She is sooo sad! She won't even let me hold her on my hip she is in so much pain! So hopefully she will get some medicine to make her feel better, but I will not torture her by trying to make her model! Ohwell, maybe I can bribe my DD4 into modeling hers later, we'll see! Off to the doctor!

Poor little baby! Tessa used to get bad diaper rashes. The doctor prescribed some prescription stuff that would take care of it right away. Hopefully you'll get something that works today!

Yikes!!! I hope you're all right. I'm going to avoid stairs for a few days after all of these stair-related incidents.

I love the outfit!!! Too cute! I'm glad you folks are making such cute fall/Thanksgiving outfits!

Um, thank you for thinking of me. I guess.

So cute: I'm glad you stuck it out. I bet she was the hit of the party.

Beautiful! You are so creative!

everyone have a great day.

I love the little heart feathers on the turkey! I hope you are feeling better!

Yes Wendy, do have any pet fish?! If so, you should get those pics up PRONTO!

 

[my*2*angels]

Oh, the poor baby! I hope it heals up really fast!

Oh, poor baby! I hope she feels better very soon. Lots of huggies.

Poor little baby! Tessa used to get bad diaper rashes. The doctor prescribed some prescription stuff that would take care of it right away. Hopefully you'll get something that works today!

Thanks for all of the well wishes! Unfortunately I just got back from the doctor and it had already gotten worse! When the doc opened the diaper she actually gasped! It was bleeding in three places! I feel soooooooo BAD! I can't believe it got so bad so fast! She gave me three different things to put on it for the next 5 days so I am praying that it heals quickly! Thanks again for all of your hugs and thoughts!

I was at Hancock's today and they had just gotten in the Disney fabrics. So, if yours hasn't had them yet; chances are they are on the way.

Ours had: about 5 or 6 different Mickey's, several Tinkerbell's, Little Einsteins, Princesses, Pooh & friends and they also had 2 different NEW Buzz Lightyear fabircs. The Buzz was super cute! One had a brown background and some kind of design w/the Buzz's on it and the other had a lime green background with Buzz on it (it was my favorite).

Sorry I don't have any pics of these, I didn't have my camera with me.

 

[GeorgiaAristocat]

coming out of lurkdom to give praise for all the great things posted lately!!!

I have forced myself to take a sewing hiatus (for a couple of weeks) to try and finish a Christmas stocking (cross-stitch) that I PROMISED my SIL would be ready for my nephew this Christmas. It's going to be close.

But I love everything! I miss my sewing machine! Wah!

I love the fabric on this -- too cute!

This is WAY OT, so I'll just post a link.

I wrote a funny story today and posted it on the Community Board. The word 'funny' is subjective, though.

It's called, "CRAP! We Have Mice! A Docu-drama:"

Oh just try it!!! I procrastinated on it for awhile and finally this week I decided to try the YCMT stripwork jumper for a Thanksgiving outfit for my DD. It was SOOOO easy. I think the first one took a little over 2 hours and the second one I made for my DN only took like an 1 1/2! I didn't do the stripes though I only used one piece of fabric to go around and I do have a ruffler foot, but it was still very easy and I am going to start on my Christmas stuff today!

I need to just jump right in. I only have one piece of fabric, too. No stripes for me. I’ll take it one step at a time. Thanks for the encouragement.

Do you mean that the shirts were colored shirts, so the mickey and other darker areas are more of the color of the shirt when you started? That is a cool idea instead of tie-dying. How long did you soak them, did you soak them in full strength bleach? TIA my kids would love this, I have been wanting to do this, but I didn't want to tie-dye.

The girl’s shirts were red. The boys were blue. I soaked them for approximately ½ hour, until the color started to fade slightly. The color really faded after the shirts were washed. I put the shirts in a tub with water and added bleach. A lot. I’d guess about 30% bleach.
