Disboutiquers Part 13 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[SallyfromDE]

It will be 6 years in November. So far, I'm still NED and I intend to keep it that way!!

Ladies, I can't encourage you enough to get regular mammograms...Having several years to compare mine to made it really easy for my doc to "spot" (pun intended) my lump. It was so small that I couldn't feel it, but the mammogram did! I was able to have a lumpectomy (which I call a chunkectomy based on the amount of tissue he removed!)and all the margins around that one lump were clear. They did a bone scan and other tests--all clear. I had radiation, mild chemo and took tamoxifen for several years (the cancer was estrogen-receptive) and I have had no reoccurance!

My Mother is a BC survivor. She was only 43 when she had a radical. It's been 28 years now. It did come back once, on a bone behind the incession, but it's been clear ever since. She no longer takes any meds, but does get her regular bone & liver scans along with mammos.

I get my mammos, and you'd think I'd be better at with a Mother and Sister with BC. Luckily I only had a fibrod tumor since they missed it on my mammo and walked around with it for a year before they caught on the next Xray. It never would have been found with a self exam or mammo. It was so far back behind the breast. It was just on the edge of the xray. So far, no more re occurances.

Has anyone had the new digital mammos? They are pretty cool.

Dh, myself, DS(5) DD(4) are going to a large Renaissance Festival this weekend. I really want the kids to dress up with us, but have no idea what to do! I thought about DD going as a fairy, does anyone have a simple pattern or can point me in the right direction to make a fairy costume for her? I need the very basic pattern, as my sewing skills are just not that great. Any idea for a boy costume to wear? I love reading all of your posts, everything created is just gorgeous!! Thanks for any help/advice!!!

I've never been to a faire. My neice loves them and goes all the time. I'm making her a wench outfit so she won't have to borrow from her friend anymore. For a boy, what about a Peter Pan type outft? It's like Robin Hood. That's of the time frame I believe.

Haha.. Nanahbelle is cute. We call her BeeBee because my mom and dad speak cajun french, and bebe is cajun french for baby. Somehow she started saying beebee instead of bay bay. So when people ask her what her name is she usually says BeeBee. Her friends call her Hannah Montana though.

That might work for me then. I like the leggings to fit snug. Were they easy to put together? I am wondering if there is a casing for the elastic or if you sew it in without a casing. I'm guessing I could change that part to my liking anyhow. I have never sewn on knits before. I always stayed away. I'm nervous. Oohh.. I bet I need to get ball point serger needles.

The leggings have a casing for the elastic. You only have two pieces to cut out and sew together.

How about a peasant dress, with a corset belt. That would be super easy.

 

[SallyfromDE]

That is so cute. My DD (2) does the opposite. Everytime I have her try something on to show DH or her Grandma she is so excited and then I have her take them off and change. She thinks they are like costumes. Hopefully she won't think that when it comes time to actually wear them, or Disney will have it's first streaker.

When Kirsta was little, she hated to get wet. We were walking across the parking lot and it started to lightly rain. She started to strip her cothes all off!! I had to chase her down and tell her wait!

Lori, Wow this is just too cute and your little one is so sweet. I love the things you make.

Grandpa died this morning. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know he is with God and happy again.

That is what I would love to do for her, "super easy" you have not seen my skills yet! LOL. I love the Robin Hood idea for DS as well!! I am going to start searching today, if anyone has an idea where i can get a pattern for either you all would be my hereos!!!!

www.youcanmakethis.com has a super easy peasant dress pattern. I think the author is CarlaC. It really is easy and I think that you could do it.

 

[praline3001]

Not that I can sew or know your skills but I did come across a cute fairy pattern that I ALMOST had made for my DD as tink but went with something else....
It looks simple..err.. maybe?
Its the tink outfit but if you changed the colors and took off the wings it could work

Its pattern 3680

My thoughts and prayers are with you

psssst ! look at my ticker

WOOO HOOO!!

Lori

Love it!

I just modify Carla C's easy fit pants. . . or just use the pattern without extending the legs then I put elastic around the leg holes too

Great idea!

Oooh.. I hope I don't lose a screw. I am loving my serger. Where did you get an extra screw?? Does the dealer sell them? I'm just wondering.. I lose everything.
BTW.. I don't think gymboree is my friend. Everything is so expensive there. When I shop there I definitely will get in trouble with hubby.

I actually find them to be one of the least expensive places to buy the boys clothes. I shop super duper sales and often buy ahead for next year.

I finally got DD dress done!!!! Thanks for your help in picking the striped fabric... I like how it turned out. She is napping so no model, but she had it on last night before I had the ruffle and ties on and didn't want to take it off, so thats a good sign.

I love this! Great fabric choices

Aww Eyore, congrats on your Hannah! I'm a "Hannah Mommy" too! Here's my little Hannah Mae!

She's beautiful! I think I've posted this before, but if I had had a little girl, she would have been Hannah, it's a lovely name.

We're going this summer and I'm going to put the boys in Peter Pan costumes. I haven't made them yet, but they don't look very hard at all. I'm using Butterick 4632 which also includes a fairy pattern.

Thanks for the pic. That's the exact kind of outfit that I was talking about. I think Stephres used that pattern to make Megan a cowgirl dress. It was really cute.

 

[praline3001]

I always thought that that cowgirl dress would be ADORABLE at the HDDR!

LOL! Agreed.

Though y'all gotta stop or my girls are gonna need 3 costume changes a day with all the ideas you have floating in my head.

Of course the boys will having nothing, hehe. Hmm...maybe they can wear the extra dresses?

I found a darling donald duck costume on etsy ~ ADORABLE!
I told my 12 year old SON I was buying it and making him wear it he freaked out on me!
(said costume is for more a 4-5 year old and not 12 )
It was so much fun teasing him over it!

That's too funny. Nice to know there are other "streakers" out there.

Oh, to be young!

But think of all the great pictures you will get.

Sounds like my oldest.

OOOh Melissa, you know me too well...tempting me with photography....


But hey, it's all for the magazine, right.

OMG! I wonder if because we are doing a magazine article/photoshoot with the kids, I can write their Disney Outfits off as a tax deduction?!?!

 

[o2bacelt]

Momto2mousers, if you google renaissance garb patterns there are quite a few pages that show you how to make things like skirts and chemises and even pants and tops for boys and girls. I do the Maryland and Virginia ren faires every year, I make most of our clothing with the exception of bodices for myself, I need feats of civil engineering so I leave that to those who are better equipped to work with great amounts of steel boning.

Shirts are relatively easy, it's basically a series of rectangles and about 6 seams and a little elastic or cording. Since I know if I post another link on here it will disappear, when you google the first link should be renaissance dress pages/museangel that should help you a lot.

Enjoy your time at faire!

Jenna had two outfits per day when we went last year and she wore all of them but 2.

Hi I read your trip report. I didn't see the test track dress everyone is talking about. Can you or someone else please post a link. I have been looking for it for a while. I would love to see it.
Thanks Laura
