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

[ncmomof2]

Another great top! How are you making them? Share you homemade pattern!

For this one, I doubled her chest measurements and made the length about 11 in. For the ruffle I did 4X the chest measurements and sewed it on before shirring. I shirred two rows right below the hem on top, left a space and then shirred two more rows. I stiched up the back and added straps. I hope that makes sense!

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.

So cute! How cool to get noticed by Mrs Claus!

Wow Ms. Impatient, I wish I could just dive right in like you do! I'm the over-thinker, the procrastinator, the what-if-it-isn't-good-enough worrier. I planned to try my first applique almost a week ago, and I just managed to force myself to do it today - after reading eleventy billion tutorials, pestering HeatherSue in PM (thanks again for that btw! )

I must say, it came out better than I anticipated!!! I *definitely* need work on cornering, but I think I did a really good job with the rounded parts.

I think I'm just like you. I even bought a new machine and haven't started my applique yet. I only have 3 more weeks so I gotta get moving!

ya, I'm really sick of it!!! I had to run through a storm today holding one of my clients...3 blocks in Roxbury!!! My clothes are still wet. As soon as I got home, I took a shower to warm up!

YIKES! Hope it clears tomorrow!

Thanks 2B...... I like your energy too!

And speaking of the February Disboutique Meet... Can anyone that is planning on going as of now please pm me with the days your planning on being there? We need to try to co-ordinate a time and day for our meet. This is gonna be fun!

OH! ANd can you please add your real life first name when you do it??? That would help me alot!

I'm in the very, very, very likely category. I'm thinking of Sun 2/1 to Sun 2/8 but it might be Tue the 3rd til the 8th. It would be me and DD(9). Most likely stay at Pop unless she falls in love with ASMu.

and my real name is Bernadette

Okay- I must have missed this discussion. There is a Disboutique Meet in Feb? Is it at Disneyworld? That sounds like alot of fun. I would love to join in if yall will let me. When is it??

 

[princesskayla]

Now we are really debating saving the tickets for next year. Then, if I am still a cm I would have 12 tickets. We would only have to buy tickets for the girls. Of course, if I am still at Disney Store after 1 1/2 years, I would hope to be part of management!

Just wondering, does management get better discounts?

 

[LuckyMamaInDE]

Thanks for the pictures of Utah. When I was a little girl my dad taught at the U of U. When he got a "real job" and we moved to New Jersey, I missed the mountains desperately.

In 2006 my family of 5 spent almost 3 weeks in the west driving from National Park to National Park. We started in SLC and I showed them the mountains Arches is one of my favorite places in the world and now my husband and kids know why

 

[2cutekidz]

Ok I heard back from the mom on the lastest Big Give. This is her response when I asked for other characters or he's going to get 3 Power Ranger outfits!!!

"Oh, I thought he would get a hat or something He loves Woody and Buzz
Mickey,Donald,Lightning Mcqueen,and Tow Mater...
Oh! and he loves the Dalmations.Does this help?"

Isn't it fun to surprise people? She thought he was getting a HAT

LOL!! Boy are they in for a nice surprise!!

 

[2cutekidz]

Thank you so much for caring about my Dilly

No peeking!!

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...

When I taught I was always very aware not to wear red and blue. Didn't want my kids to think I had an allegiance to one or the other. Stupid gangs, taking red and blue out of my wardrobe - Thank God they didn't pick black though or I'd have been naked! Would have given them nightmares!

OK so here's a little bit of Europe for you. Hold onto your hats, its a whistke stop tour.....................

(DH likes to think he's David Bailey so bear with me!)

This is Frankfurt, Germany - I can highly recommend the Christmas Markets

Barcelona although the photos don't do it justice!

And back home to Brighton on the southern coast of the UK

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

Then we'll go admire Big Ben

Ohh look over there! The London Eye

Now lets head to the tube!

Next stop, The Tower Bridge!

And then we'll go check out Notting Hill

I know you're all sick of sight seeing, so we can stop off and do some shopping

And to wrap up our tour, we'll hang out with the Beatles

Next Stop! Paris!

Onto Paris, France!
First stop, of course, lunch and dessert!

Then off to l'Hôtel des Invalides

and then we can go to The Arc de Triomphe

and Notre Dame

and the Louvre

How's about Versailles?

Ohh and can't forget the Eiffel Tower!

How come I keep seeing all of these pictures of Europe and all that comes to mind is, "Hey kids, there is Big Ben and Parliament"! I love the Vacation movies!


Beautiful pictures by the way though. I was in Germany for 3 weeks when I was 16. My high school had a mini exchange program set up with a high school there. So Andreas lived with my family for around a month and then I lived with his family while I was there. It was fantastic! Such a great experience. My German is pathetic (and totally useless here in Texas!) but I had a blast.

Okay- I must have missed this discussion. There is a Disboutique Meet in Feb? Is it at Disneyworld? That sounds like alot of fun. I would love to join in if yall will let me. When is it??

Yes and YES!! We haven't planned an exact date as we are looking to see when everyone will be there, but we're looking at the first week to week and half in Feb for the meet date for dates.


We'd love to have you there!

 

[Disney 4 Me]

Yes and YES!! We haven't planned an exact date as we are looking to see when everyone will be there, but we're looking at the first week to week and half in Feb for the meet date for dates.

[karebear1]

Looks like you'll be there right in the thick of things! If you're interested in meeting- just PM me with your name, date etc. And I'll put you on the list and contact you when we have a date set!

OK, I got my new serger out of the box finally and worked on threading it. This is all new to me. I know what it's supposed to do, but are they all this hard to thread? They even gave me a tweezers to thread it with! I tried on some scrap fabric and it worked!!! Then I tried again and the thread broke, then the other thread broke. I was tired and frustrated so it's back in the box for now. I'm amazed anyone can use them to actually get a project done. Is it just me or are they all like this?

 

[spongemommie05]

You know, I've never really wanted to go to Washington or Oregon, but you may have just changed my mind (and I can go to Forks while I'm there). Those pics are beautiful. And that's a nasty looking jellyfish (you can keep you fanny packs though )

I am going to Forks In Sept .. i am so excited..... only 8 1/2 -9 days till BD... are you ready???

Here is my take on the signature pillowcase.

Here is the cake I made for DD's birthday in June. We had a Strawberry theme.

And DD wore this top:

The reason we went with a strawberry theme; My aunt made Lauren a knit strawberry hat when I was pg since Lauren was due in June (Strawberry season). Here is a pic of Lauren just a day old in her strawberry hat.

oh how cool that cake is and that hat and baby are toooooo cute , love the pillowcase as well

Darn Tootin'!!!!

In honor of Jahmmie and all or Utah friends, our tour today starts in SLC, Utah- namely Temple Square.
This is a view of downtown:

This is the view of TS- the top SLC Temple. Whenever you see a news report about Utah- they always show this building.

Temple Square at Christmas:

That's it for our tour today. Sorry the trip to SLC was sooooo short- but it's because we're in a hurry to go to VEGAS baby!!

We're gonna stay here- a for a special surprise we're going to a show! Can you guess which one?? Here's your hint: This One's for YOU!

Oh is that what downtown looks like ? i have not been downtown for a while

Fanny packs are required while touring in Oregon. Haven't you seen the pics of Zoe and I while in Oregon?? You really should go visit there- it is an awesome place!




Welcome back! Of course we missed you!! And guess what??? You're back just in time for our trip to VEGAS BABY!!

I am on my way to Vegas next week for my 15th wedding anniversary.. i just bought a $100 dollars in clothes for my b-day and anniversary trip. (Can i just say i am so excited to get away)

[spongemommie05]

Aaaahhh...HOME! I was hoping you'd all come to visit when I saw Karen's hint yesterday. And how appropriate since today is a big holiday here in Utah--Happy Pioneer Day everyone! We celebrate this holiday a lot like the 4th of July with parades, picnics and fireworks. Thanks Karen! Here's the only mountain photo I could find right now. It's just across the street from my house, not the cooler view with the whole valley.

i love that photo !!!

You mean here?

Hubby and I went on a cross country trip in 1999, this was one of our stops!

i have never been there how sad is that?

Anybody who wants to experience life in the 'hood is welcome to swing my way... INGLEWOOD IN DA HOUSE!

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

that is a cute house... it reminds me of my first home in Hayward calif (the bay area) i just made sure i wore red and blue together so i could be neutral

Welcome to Arches National Park, near Moab, Utah

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:

wow that looks like a super fun place to go I need to visit there one day

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!

that is cute and looks great..

I made something for me today !!!!
Just a plain black skirt i am appliqueing something on the bottom , this is the
1st thing i have made for me i will post pictures when i am done

Love your house! And you're close enough to Disneyland!

Heathersue leaves on the 10th but I'll be there until the 14th.

my thread broke a bajillion times when I was getting started, but once I got it going, it very rarely breaks. When I change colors sometimes the thread will snap the first couple of times I thread it. I don't change colors very often because of that.

 

[spongemommie05]

whoooooooo! that was intense

 

[teresajoy]

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

I have on more than one occasion worn a fanny pack!!! I have pictures, but my scanner isnt' working!!!

I also have some great pictures for the "Henry Fan Club" but, alas, the scanner will not cooperate with me!! (Ok, to be honest, I accidentally deleted the software for my scanner, and all I can download on the manufacturers website is the drivers)

I'll add my random photo...here is Ireland at the mall with her daddy..

That is a beautiful picture of Ireland! Her dad is very handsome, too bad he's such a loser!

But, what I really want to see is a picture of Ireland and her MOMMY!

Also our store had a white chocolate version but I didn't buy it. Does anyone know how that is?

I've had that one, and I LOVED it!

I don't know if this will help me or hurt me, but I'm showing you a picture of me when I made lifetime at WW in 2003. THIS IS WHAT I EXPECT TO LOOK LIKE AT THE FEB DISMEET!! I am a loooooooong way away from it now.

Stunning Jeanne!!!! I REALLY need to get back to WW myself! I am a lifetime member too!

So, you say they were freezing their little booties off????

Hi Everyone...I am finally back from our road trip. Anybody miss me??

YES! YES I DID!!!

I hope to see you on your next Michgan trip though!!

Thank you. I feel a little vindicated. I suggested the basement and my manager laughed a me saying "do you believe everything you see in movies?" See i was right

WHAT?? He thought we run to the basement only in the movies???? YES you were ABSOLUTELY right!!!

Teresa....... I don't think you're gonna wanna miss tomorrows tour! make sure you're here!! It's gonna be a special day!

Karen, I've been enjoying your pictures!!! Thank you so much for posting these trips for us!!!!

I've had a most stressful week, and I've enjoyed looking at your pictures as well as everyone elses random pictures very much!!!

Mine's a pain to thread too, I try not to do it often! Unless one of my kids messes with it, I don't have to rethread very often. Make sure you learn to change the thread with the tie off method, it will save you a lot of headaches! I swear they make those machines for people with tiny tiny little fingers though!!!

The serger definitely gets easier everytime you use it. Just play around with it for awhile. Make sure you have everything threaded right.

Like I said, I've had a pretty stressful week, but something AMAZING happened today!!!!!


You all might remember that while we were in Florida, 2 1/2 months ago, our cat ran away? So, we got a new little kitten about a month ago. Well, today, we got a phone call from someone who had found our cat!!!!! I have NO idea what he had been doing for the last 2 1/2 months, but we got him back tonight, and he looks great!!! I thought he woudl be skinny and flea infested, but he doesn't look any different than when we lost him. Although, he does look HUGE to us now, compared to our little kitten!!! I combed him out with a flea comb, and didn't even find any fleas or ticks on him. We brought him into the house, and he came out of the carrier, and went right to the kitchen where his food is! He is now in his old spot, underneath the computer desk, next to my feet!!!! It's like he was never gone!!! Foxie, our new kitten doesn't quite know what to think of him though!!! He keeps running up to him looking at him, then one f them will growl, and Foxie runs away. Then, he'll sneak back up to him really slowly. They both keep giving me looks that seem to say, "What the heck is HE doing in my house?!"

We are pretty pleased to have him home! I am just so shocked!!! I thought for sure he was dead!!! I'm really glad we keep nametags on our cats!

Now, if we can just get him to stay inside form now on!!! He is already meowing to be let outside!!!!
