Disboutiquers Part 8 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[Adi12982]

So here's what we have done so far...

That is soooo adorable, cute and well made!! I can't wait to see it all done. So awesome! I love that you sew with your grammy!

 

[dezimber]

So I am sitting at my sewing table last night when dh get's home from work and he tells me to come sit down and sends dd7 to her room. He starts to tear up and says the store is closing I am losing my job. I swear it as if I stop breathing. The store will be closing the first week of december. He has been there 8 years. I am so beside myself with worry right now even though he tells me we will be ok. Not to worry. I am so lost right now I don't know what to do. Thank you for letting me vent.

Sorry to hear about your husband losing his job. Hopefully he will find another one soon. My friend lost hers when the preschool closed when the owner retired. She is still looking for another job.

 

[t-beri]

I am AMAZED at how fast you are working!

Thanks, me too actually. It helps that I am very motivated b/c I dont' really have the time for all of this sewing But once you're in so deep there's nothin' you can do. Besides, what kind of mother would I be if I took my kids to wdw in regular clothes or *gasp* OLD customs

So here's what we have done so far...

Anna! Bo Peep is coming along quite well. I don't blame you for getting a hand at your Grands while getting to spend some time w/ her. Sometimes it's nice to sew w/ an extra pair of eyes and hands. Of course sometimes it a giant PITB!!!! I can't wait to see the finished Bo Peep costume!!!

I got my gypsy pattern tonight, there were others I liked but 1. Butterick patterns were 1.99 and 2. I didn't want to have to buy 10 yards of fabric.

This is the pattern I am using but I hope to spice it up a bit

I'm going to do the skirt on the left but I think the long sleeves in a guaze I am hoping the vest/corset doesn't make me look fatter
...t.

great idea with the goggles

Thanks!

thats sound like a good idea- like swim googles? Do they make them for toddlers? She is about a size 18-24 m in cloths, so on the petit side. Where do I find those in October!

Also- One more thing!!
There is a gal in my MOPS (Mothers Of Preschoolers) group. She and her husband have a 1yr old and a 3yr old and he was recently diagnosed with brain cancer- stage 3, he's been given 5 years to live, he's about 37 years old. She has been a stay at home mom since her first child was born and he has been out of work for the last 3 months and money is very very tight. Her neighborhood is doing a tag sale/bake sale/activites day to raise money for them, but more than anything they need prayers. I know many of you pray, and this nice family (Jen and Ken) could use all the prayers they can get.

Yes, they make swim goggles for toddlers. Here is one place that I found that sells them http://www.sportsunlimitedinc.com/leader-atom-youth-swim-goggles.html

Oh how sad, I am so sorry to hear about your friend and her husband. That is so tragic and sad. I will definitely keep this family in my prayers!!!

Beth- I hope you are doing ok today.

Thank you Teresa, I am doing okay.

For the 6 of you that are still reading,
I UPDATED MY TRIP REPORT!
This is the day we went to Epcot and had a truly magical experience. I highly recommend this one.

I still wanna catch up on your TR Heather....and I plan on it very soon!!

Oh wow... we will add them to the prayer list. I cant imagine going through that. My best friend's husband had brain cancer at age 25. He passed away at 27. They have 2 dd, 5 and 18mo. The 18 mo old has down syndrome and also had lymphnode cancer (not exactly sure what it is called) had some lymphnodes removed and one kidney. I tell you that to say it is amazing the strength that she has. God has been the only thing to get her through it! That is great that the neighborhood is doing that for them.

Aww hug for you too...I am so sorry to hear about your friends. I will be praying for them as well. That is so sad. Cancer SUCKS!!!! It is so scary to me!!!

Had some quick things to share before I am off to Wal Mart. Tom took the kids to the beach so I could have a sewing day, isn't he sweet? I am not really a beach girl.

WHAT? Not a BEACH girl?? I didn't know there was such a thing...hahaha. (Coming from a gal who literally grew up on a beach and still miss it)!!!

Anyway....love the jacket and the MAW outfit!!!

So I am sitting at my sewing table last night when dh get's home from work and he tells me to come sit down and sends dd7 to her room.

Oh no, I am so sorry you are going through this. I sure hope that your DH can find work soon. That has got to be a very stressful feeling, I am so sorry!

Here's another one of Jamahl's Big Give outfits. Thanks to a special designer for making the perfect iron on. I thought the shirt matched better when I ordered it and it does match some of the fish, but looking at it now, I'm not sure.

I have 2 baby showers coming up, so I made a diaper and wipes tote, a nursing cover and a "taggie" taggie blanket for the soon to be little girl.

This is a nursing cover and "taggie" blanket for my sister's soon to be little boy.

Love the outfit and the baby things...very cute!

 

[disneymommieof2]

THANKS LADIES

Yeah my grammy has been sewing for many many years and up until last year worked for a costume company so she knows lots of little tricks!!
Although she did talk me into leaving the bodice pieces and lining for her to sew together- she said she needed something to do!!
Hey I just had a thought maybe she would want to do a couple big give outfits- I'll have to ask her about that! We all go out to breakfast twice a month and we are going tomorrow, I'll ask her then!

T- I think You'll look great in your gypsy costume!! I thought you were going to bed

Good night all!!

I was so glad I could help with the iron on design! I really wanted to make family shirts for that big give, but since I was already doing 2 others I thought I better concentrate on them.
I think the shirt color looks great with the shorts.

Love the baby items!

1)I have to admit that I'm annoyed that I have to fill out a paper every week telling the teacher how long we read each night. She let us know that it will be marked on their report card how much time we spend reading to our kids. I always read to my kids and I'm sure the parents that never read to their kids aren't going to start because the teacher gave the parents "homework" (when I volunteered last week, I was in charge of writing down who brought the reading sheets back and who didn't). I know it's nothing unusual, but it irritates me.
!

I HATE when they give parents homework! It bugs me to no end!

Teresa-I signed up over on the Disboards for Hank's shirt.

Thanks!!!!!

Had some quick things to share before I am off to Wal Mart. Tom took the kids to the beach so I could have a sewing day, isn't he sweet? I am not really a beach girl.

The school is having a bazaar where you pay them $25 and you can set up a table to sell things so I think he wants me to work on that, lol. I am hoping to make at least $25 so I can get my money back!

Here is the corduroy fabric I wanted to make a jumper, but Megan insisted on a jacket instead. I had to lengthen the darn pattern by 3 inches so the buttons look weird. I am going to buy more buttons to add to the top:

Now that I look at it again, I remember what a pain those pockets were! Oh, I hated them! Commercial patterns will never come close to the ease of Carla's I tell you! The collar came out totally wonky on the inside too. Good thing it's just for Megan!

Here is a MAW outfit. I almost feel guilty at how quick the boy stuff is. I feel like I should be doing two outfits to equal the time spent on the girl things!

I love that jacket!!!

And, the Big Give outfit looks great!!!

Thank you, Crystal!!


I LOVE the jacket, Steph!! Tessa is sticking her tongue out and panting, so I'd say it's a hit with her, too. I can't wait for Megan to outgrow it!
Whenever I try to make rounded pockets, they turn out square. So, I am really admiring those pockets.

Jamahl's outfit turned out great! Thank you!!!



I have refused to buy any Bratz since my friend showed me her daughter's baby bratz who came dressed in a negligee and thong undies. EW!!!!

I remember when they first came out and I ranted and complained to everyone I knew about how disgusting they were! It takes a real sick mind to design a baby that wears sexy nighties! Sick sick sick

So I am sitting at my sewing table last night when dh get's home from work and he tells me to come sit down and sends dd7 to her room. He starts to tear up and says the store is closing I am losing my job. I swear it as if I stop breathing. The store will be closing the first week of december. He has been there 8 years.

I am so sorry

Can you believe someone bought the giant baby Bratz doll (complete with thong) as a welcome home gift for Morgan? It went back to the store so fast!

UGGH! I give up! I am on Corey's laptop and I just can't take the way it types!

Love the Fish are friends outfit! That is my fav part of the movie.
the baby shower stuff is great too! I still have to make my girlfriends new baby something.

looks like a great day! Thank you for sharing.

Did I ever share my Belle outfit with all of you... sadly we have 10 days to go before our trip and this one is not coming with us. I made too much stuff!!!

Sad Sad Sad..

It is beautiful. You know she can always have a change of clothes!

So here's what we have done so far...

The sheep is a neck pillow my grammy made a little while ago.
So Both the Bonnet and the pants are 100% done. The skirt is sewed together minus the pink dots and the bodice is partially put together. Going back over on Wed. so it should be All done then!! I'll be working on the poofy parts too. The skirt is VERY Full and it gonna take alot of poof to fill it out!!

ETA: Apparently my camera lens is filthy- Sorry for the blurs and I swear I rotated the one picture- Hmm

Talk about cute! I can't wait to see it!


I guess I will zig zag the edges of my fleece. I just had alot of trouble with the shirt I made Kyle with the zig zag stitch. I am hoping it was the fabric that i was using at the time. It was so thin so it would get pushed down easily and jam everything...

I will post pictures in a bit of it.

 

[minnie2]

Here is the shirt I just made for Kyle. The sleeves gave me some trouble but I think t was because the fabric was so thin. At least that is what I am hoping.

this is my new fav pattern!

If you can't tell by now Kyle is a clown!
Say goodbye to the mohawk he has class pictures Tuesday so I am cutting it.

 

[mommyof3princess]

Hi all I am poping in to say thank you to all of you for all the support. I am so darn worried. While my dh is calm and cool don't worry honey we will get through this. All I can do is keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. I really love all the things that were posted. I got to see the model in the fall outfit. A few things for boys. I have a nephew so I saw that you can make things for boys. Baby stuff you have to have things for baby showers. And I love the belle outfit. Thanks again to you.

GOOD MORNING DISBOUTIQUERS!!!! I am just sitting down to begin sewing for another day and I realized the I have to take Mac to a birthday party at 1:00 and I have no present We NEVER do birthday parties. He has about 3 friends whose parties he goes to and that's it. This is his oldest and closest friend so no getting out of it. I am hoping to drop him off and run back home to sew a while longer.

great job on everything! I think I need to make one of those taggie blankets for my niece's baby. He's not even due until February and I've already started buying fabric I'm going to shrink the easy fit pants pattern to try and fit a newborn and I'm going to make him a bunch of easy fit pants with simple applique onesies to match.

I get to sew today too! But I have to run to Joanns for some emergency buttons I forgot to buy so that will probably take up half my day. Walmart had no white buttons yesterday The person who bought my spider dress at the school auction wants another one for her other daughter and then she ordered to skirts. I'm almost done with all of it! Then back to sewing for my trip that is coming way too soon! I started a Jack Skellington dress for Lily since the boys already have Jack Skellington shirts I made last year.

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

Well, I've been lurking lots, not sewing so much. It looks like everyone needs a GIANT group hug! There's so much going on. And sadly, I'm in need of a hug too. We were looking to buy a house, found one we liked (that we could afford) and put in an offer, had my Dad do a home inspection, hired an arborist to check out a large tree in the yard, AND put in an offer. Then we waited while the sellers were ON VACATION, and couldn't be reached to present the offer to! Anyhoo, long story short, we lost the house, the sale was almost complete too! Now we have to be out of our present house in 27 days, and we're not able to secure a mortgage in time (thanks to a data entry error at the credit verification company, and that market crash from earlier this week ). Sooooo, we have to rent a place for a while until this whole mess is sorted out. This just rots! So DH and I surprised the kids by picking them up from school at lunch and driving to the USA, took them to Target and bought them their Hallowe'en costumes, bought some junk food that we can't buy in Canada and ate at the Olive Garden (we don't have those here either). Yum! Love the Bellini iced tea there. A little cross-border retail therapy was all we needed to lift our spirits, but we just didn't have time to go to Joann's


Stephanie

Here's a hug for you too and hope all works itself out for the best!

Thanks!!!!! ...adding to list of stuff I must catch up on!

Aw! How cute they are together! I love girls at this age when they just love each other!!!

Love the purse...it is so pretty and dotty!!! Love it!

We always love LE outfits! They turned out great!

Thanks for the idea I love giving homemade gifts. Just as long as you don't mind me doing it.

Oh please do..patially I think out loud and partially I wanted to share with you guys just in case any of you were like me and needed those quick type of gifts!

[

Looks great! Very cute model!!!

Hi everyone, I am sorry I havent been around in a while. I havent been feeling too good (morning sickness that just sticks with me ALLLLLLLL day)

SOOOO sorry for the yucks!!!! I had it horrible with my middle kid. I had busted blodd vessels in my face becuase I threw up so much! I was a wreck all the time!!! I hope it goes away for you!!!!!

Had some quick things to share before I am off to Wal Mart. Tom took the kids to the beach so I could have a sewing day, isn't he sweet? I am not really a beach girl.

The shirt looks great with the shorts! Turned out so cute!

The baby items are great too!

Oh another fun day with your family!

Ok. I have Lily's Toy Story pants done except for fixing the waistband...fortunately I made her try them on before I sewed the elastic together so it will be an easy fix.

I have cut out: AK capri pants (EF)
Mini Minnie Dot Capris pants(EF): for Friends around the world
Hello Kitty (halloween)Double Layer Twirl
Minnie Patchwork Twirl (minus casing)
Toy Story Halter

I still have to cut out the AK bowling shirt and Mac's bowling shirt.

Do button minnie and hello kitty shirts

AND sew everything together...MY MIL is helping so we can knock it out before the week we are leaving. We are always sewing our costumes last minute and I've certainly followed suit since I started making her customs.

I have fabric for a pirate dress ( I think Steph will help me w/ an applique)and a Buzz dress to match Macs bowling shirt even though he doesn't want to match his sister...b/c I'm mean like that.

I guess I'm off to bed so I can start sewing early...not to mention I need to get out of the house for elastic and bias tape before B gets here and knows I'm spending more money

...t.

You are so smart and fast...I wish I could think far wnough ahead to the next outfit sometime to cut it out!

So here's what we have done so far...

Very cute!!!!

 

[NaeNae]

I'm going to shrink the easy fit pants pattern to try and fit a newborn and I'm going to make him a bunch of easy fit pants with simple applique onesies to match.

I used the easy fit pattern for the 18" doll to make Attikus's pirate pants for MNSSHP. You might have to lengthen them but they fit him great around. I wanted his to be capri length and I think I used the pattern as is as far as length. I had to add an extra piece at the top for the casing. They were too short through the crotch. I had already sewn them so I just added to the top. You could add that before you cut them out.

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

Few other comments...Hate the Bratz Dolls too...Good thing Katie hates them too.

As for the homework for the kids/parents. I fogot to sign Katie's daily aganda last week and SHE had a point taken away form her that day! I felt so bad! She NEVER has points taken away!


Good news!!! Katie was chosen as one of 4 4th graders in her school to do a tile art project for our town. She went yesterday to make the tiles and they go back on Nov. 8th to glaze them. The tiles will be used for a mural in town. She is pretty excited.

I HAVE to go sew today! Next weekend is the race we are going to and I have only finished Katie's shirt. I thought the race was further away for some reason! Oops!!!

Next Friday thru Sunday Joann's will have all Simplicity patterns on sale for .99 each.

I was in yesterday and the clerk gave me the post card. It is 3 hours RT for us to go back to the city and a tank of fuel but the savings is going to be worth it.

 

[eeyore3847]

oh, is thisthe NBC facbric someone was looking for? This is the one I have it is sheer.

 

[teresajoy]

Here is the shirt I just made for Kyle. The sleeves gave me some trouble but I think t was because the fabric was so thin. At least that is what I am hoping.

If you can't tell by now Kyle is a clown!
Say goodbye to the mohawk he has class pictures Tuesday so I am cutting it.

I was going to say it's very cute, but I'm not sure Kyle would appreciate that! (although, it is!) It looks fantastic!!! You did a great job! (as usual!)

That happened to Corey when he was in 4th grade, he had to stay in from recess for it! He had asked me to sign it, but I had forgotten, it was a really stressful day for our country, September 11, 2001!

I was shocked that he would get in trouble like that for something I forgot to do, and then add to it the circumstances of the day! I was hopping mad! I wrote the teachers an email telling them how upset I was about it. They never responded.
