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

[LisaZoe]

We are headed to the Nov 20th party!!!!! Now I am wondering if I should make something for them.... HUM... What do I make???

How warm will it be in Nov? Shorts during the day?

I haven't made many Disney Christmas sets but I just tagged the ones I have in the Disboutique photobucket account so they're quick to find.

Anybody who wants to experience life in the 'hood is welcome to swing my way... INGLEWOOD IN DA HOUSE! (If you could only see me rolling my eyes as I say that...) We live in a reasonably nice neighborhood in an insanely crappy city - as I like to remind DH, anytime the name of your city is mentioned repeatedly in rap song after rap song, you live in the 'hood. Yes, we have a cute 1929 Spanish-style house with beautiful wood floors and lovely architectural details... but it's still in Inglewood.

So who's coming? Pack your bags... just be careful where you plan to wear your red or your blue...

My mom grew up there! She pretty much said the same thing. lol.

For a Christmas trip how about an applique Mickey head with Santa cap?

Ya, I think I will be making two of those! Thanks.

Oh cool, I gotta go check those out!

Yes, that would be cute!

And a sweatshirt with a Christmas tree and mickey head button ornaments is cute too!

Welcome to Arches National Park, near Moab, Utah and one of our family's favorite places to go. Several movies have been filmed here including scenes from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (DH and I have personally reenacted the scene where young Indy is scrambling out of the "cave" in the beginning of the film) and Thelma and Louise (which kind of ruined the movie for me because they were running "away" down a dead-end road ) and apparently parts of Back to the Future 3

Here is a really really old picture of me at Delicate Arch. I haven't been there in a while because my kids are too little for the hike. Don't go making fun of my bandana around my head. It was not a fashion statement, it was my answer to greasy dirty camping hair But it does look kind of silly in retrospect. And I'm not sure but that could be a fanny pack on my fanny HEY it was 1990!

The rest of the photos are from 2006 and 2007

Here is my kids' favorite hike to Sand Dune Arch: (they call it Sandy Arch)

Trailhead:

halfway there:

Jayden, Luke and Mike under Sand Dune Arch:

the end of the trail?

our favorite picture taking rock under the arch:

2006

2007

Windows Arch:

"in" one of the windows: (sorry, the kids were in the shadow so I really had to brighten the photo to see them)

Hiking to Landscape Arch: (Mike, Seth and Luke)

Landscape Arch: you used to be able to hike over, under and around this arch until 1991 when, witnessed by hikers, a 60 foot slab of rock (I think someone got it on video) calved off the underside and fell.

Jayden holding up Balanced Rock:

And Lily in the shade of a Juniper just because she's cute:

I am wondering the same thing. I did pesant blouses under most of my oufits, but I plan on taking long sleeve tees and tights to be on the safe side. I imagine it will be cool at might at least. I made mostly capris so hopefully we will be alright with a jacket. I got a couple skirts and I will have heavy tights/ leggings to go under those. I am thinking mabye a swing top/ twirl top and a pair of aplique jeans for the party?

I talked to my cousin who lives in Tampa and she said it is pretty much Tshirt weather all yr there and in Nov just bring a light jacket...

Cool I will check them out! Thanks!

Ok I MAY brave and Applique. I have a ? though. I have fusible interfacing is that ok for a stabilizer? I also have this stabilizer that came with my machine for embroidery but it seems so heavy...

I prefer to use stabilizer that I can remove after stitching (tear away or the kind that dissolves in water). The interfacing might work but I'd suggest doing a test on scrap fabric or an old (stained?) tee.

 

[lovesdumbo]

Yes, that would be cute!

And a sweatshirt with a Christmas tree and mickey head button ornaments is cute too!

SO CUTE!!!!! I love the Mickey Christmas tree too!

Welcome to Arches National Park

What wonderful photos. When we (just DH & I before kids) we flew in & out of Phoenix. We went to Grand Canyon and Zion (LOVED IT!!!) and had planned on Arches but didn't make it. We said the next time we would fly in & out of Salt Lake because we really enjoyed Utah. We have to plan a trip with the kids ot Utah someday!!!!

I haven't actually appliqued in like 15 years but after you do the applique you remove the stabilizer so I don't know if interfacing would be a good choice.

I am very far behind. I haven't been able to check the boards yesterday or today. But, I did see this question from Karen.

Ahhhhhhh-HA!!! Welcome to the cool club! So... who else wants to come clean? Hummmmmmmmmmm??? Come on Teresa and Heather- 'fess up!

I can honestly say I have never owned a fanny pack, nor do I believe I've ever worn one. I don't think...But, it's certainly not because I'm too cool for it! Come on, I started the "weirdo club" in 2nd grade! I also have a TR called the "The Dorky Disboutiquing Diser Sisters: Destination Disney". I'm not too cool for anything!

You are ROCKIN' that fanny pack, girl!

It's great to see random pictures of you and the kids! I love it! Thanks for the tour!!

I've never used fusible interfacing for applique and I probably wouldn't. I like to use something that you can tear away when you're done. I would think if you ironed on a square of interfacing that the square would show through when you're done (it'd be all stiff). The sulky tear away stabilizer is what I usually use and I tear it away from the outside of the applique, and around the big parts inside of the applique.

Here is my creation of the day.

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement!

Patterns are on sale at Hobby Lobby for $1.99 so I bought a few today. We will see if I can figure them out!

Darn Tootin'!!!!

In honor of Jahmmie and all or Utah friends, our tour today starts in SLC, Utah- namely Temple Square. TS is located in the heart of SLC and is absolutley gorgeous! I'm sure you can tell that about 2/3 of these pics were taken from the inside of a building- sorry about that! If you look close, I'll bet that you can tell what we were doing there! Jahm- if you have additional pics for us while we're in UT please post them! I don;t have any of the mountains to show- maybe you do???

Thanks for the tour of Utah...my sister lives in Ogden...maybe someday I'll make it there!

I know she said the 2 little ones were staying home. But I wasn't sure what she meant when she said DS8 was on an extended trip. I guess when they go to Disney. Is that right?

I haven't heard back from the mom. Looks like they have 4 boys but are only taking the Wish child with them. DS8 looks like he's going to be with his bio dad, the infant with the grandmother, and the other son with his uncle. I will keep people updated when I hear back from her.

 

[Stephres]

SO CUTE!!!!! I love the Mickey Christmas tree too!

Thanks! I CASED the sweatshirts from someone here but I believe I thought of the santa hat mickey t all on my own. The jingle bell is my favorite part but it kept falling off when I washed it (Megan wore it to school a lot).

That is so cute and perfect for summer! How do you decide how full to make it? Do you make two times the chest measurement or just wing it? Can you tell I'm a pattern girl; I need specific instructions! Good luck with your new patterns. There is a book called Simplicity Simply the Best that explains a lot of terms in the patterns but I also googled a lot when I was starting out.

On the subject of backing for embroidery/appliques, my mother irons on something to make it less scratchy on the inside. It is super soft. My kids have never complained about the inside being scratchy on my stuff though.

Great job!

Ok call me Ms. Impatient! I just did my own guess at appliquéing. Here is my attempt. Can you tell where I started and were I finished? I changed the stitch length during it trying to get it to look right....
I might wash it 1st to see if it last since the stabilizer is in there because I couldn't figure out how I would tear it away after I stitched it.

We were talking the other day about wall paper and I said i would take a picture of the ceiling DH fought to keep when I painted. Well here it is.

I hate it but at least the god awful stuff isn't on the walls any more so now I just don't look up!

So who's coming? Pack your bags... just be careful where you plan to wear your red or your blue...

Hi Everyone,

I'd love to house swap!!! Anyone want to come to the Philly area? We live in a suburb (just a tiny bit south of the airport) but it is very easy to get to the city from our house - you could also do day trips to baltimore, NY or DC from our house!! You could even sew at my house if you wanted!!!!! But seriously - it could be fun!!

Has anyone been on the new AC Moore Craft forums yet?

[SallyfromDE]

I wanna take part in the random picture post

Who wants to go on a European Vacation? Everyone?! Ok, first stop, London, England!

We'll stop off and see Buckingham Palace

and the changing of the guards

!

I did all this when I was 18. Like I remember much. My GF came from England, I always wished my GM had kept up with the family (he passed when my mother was a teen). I REALLY REALLY want to go to Scotland.

Here is my creation of the day.

I was wondering about the other boys but I don't think I can commit to this big give as I am still trying to get stuff done for my own trip.

Nice to see you posting-more nasty storms again today.

CHRISTMAS IN DISNEY

Okay since we are really hoping to go to WDW in early December....I an looking for some ideas for Disney Christmas Customs!!!! Do any of you have any Disney Christmas outfits you could post pictures of??? I would love to see them!!!!

Thanks!!!

Nothing fancy, but I trimmed the sleeves with fur and also used it on the hat. During the parade Mrs. Claus looked right at my DD and said "I love your shirt" DD was thrilled about that.

Thanks! I did do two times her chest measurement. That is what I read on shirring instructions sites so that is what I have been doing and it has worked out each time.

I am planning on making her a top/outfit for each day of our upcoming WD trip.
