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

[peachygreen]

If the project path holds true, the storm should have moved out by Thursday. Of course it is still a few days out, so I don't trust the projected path yet. Right now the projection is to have the strom over SC by Thursday AM which means it will move out of FL Wed night.

I tried that setting...and no luck...I think I need to take it in !! I borrowed a machine that my mom bought at a garage sale...it's about 25 years old but it zig zags...It's just different than mine...so it messes up my momentum...you know...it's so routine...you get into a groove. I tried using it the other day when I was making the Petti Skirt..and ugh...Oh well...I'll have to use it for the zig zag for now!!

Oh, I'm sorry. Whenever I can't get something to work right on mine, my mother tells me to take it apart, clean and oil it. So that's the only advice I have. At least you have the back-up.

I with you on that one sister! Limited Too sells one too many "bootie" shorts...as they ADVERTISED them...no no. Maybe when Sally is...like...20. Until then we will stick to The Children's Place (aka Bloomingdales ) and Land's End kids stuff. It's cute, not too babyish and certainly not selling bootie shorts!





hmmm...cocktails?

1) Bootie shorts? For real? Um, no.

2) Hey, you are starting to sound like Teresa! No, I just couldn't wrap my brain around what she was describing, thank you.

Does anyone know how to make a doo rag? I want to make one for my baby GS, 3 months old, to go with his pirate outfit. It would be great if I could figure out some way to put elastic in the back instead of having to tie it.

There is a great little tutorial I use all the time for a headband with elastic in the back, maybe you can modify it: http://www.heatherbaileydesign.com/HoorayforHeadbands.pdf

It even has sizes for baby!

Holy Cannoli TROPICAL STORM FAY?!



We leave on Thursday for Disney...set to arrive around 11am.

somebody, ANYBODY in Florida, please use your extensive Hurricane knowledge to tell me that any nasty weather will be GONE by Thursday...

okay...calm my hysteria...

GO!

If a hurricane were to hit Florida you would want to be in the middle of the state, as opposed to the shore. Guess where Disney is?

Hey, if it hits us, can we come stay with you?

Ok, I have spent all day working on Megan's back to school outfit. And when I mean all day, I started a 9am and just finished a half hour ago. I did take a "break" to get a t-shirt from Target, get needles from JoAnn's and get food from the grocery store. Otherwise I have been gathering and sewing.

Would you like to see a picture of this masterpiece? Sorry, my computer is telling me that it no longer has a card drive. I'll try again after dinner, which Megan has already announced she will not eat.

Ok, home from work, a garage sale, getting kids from Mom and dragging them to the hardware store. Unfortunately in the midst of trying to fnd fabric everyone in the store knows that my DS didn't get the hotwheel cars and he was crying and putting on the show.

I did however get a microfleece in yellow/cream with a ton of stretch and then a brown fabric with a nap that looks very...I liked it. It doesn't have any stretch at all. I could not deciede so I bought both just in case.

They didn't have anything for the fringe at all! So that is out for now. I don't know when I will be in the city again. I can't justify a tank of fuel just to get the right fringe so I may just have to use something else. Suggestions???

I am exhausted from work, kids, etc but will make both dresses tomorrow morning and post by afternoon.

Thank you Mrs. Miller for the support and great tutorial!

 

[Stephres]

Tessa is LOVING Megan's shirt! But, I think her shorts look cute, too! I'll have to check out that tutorial. Did you get it from the bookmarks, or should I add it?

For some reason the multi-quote dropped you.

I will tell Megan that Tessa loves her shirt. I actually ran across it in craftster but it is in Teresa's bookmarks as well.

Hey, my computer is cooperating!

Ok two concerns:

1) The black shirt bugs me but I can't figure out what other color to try. I was thinking cream might be better but they didn't have any at Target. Does it look bad? And I have to buy black shoes now!

2) Do you think her teacher will look down on a homemade back to school outfit? I knew her kindergarten teacher from Jacob and I knew that she sewed and would be cool with it but I am worried that this new first grade teacher might think I am a wacko or something. Has anyone worried about that or am I completely crazy? I am also worried that the girls in first grade might give her a hard time too. Ok, I will go calm down now.

Has anyone noticed how TALL Megan is now! She used to not be taller then the house!

Adorable outfit. What pattern did you use for the skirt? Or did you just make your own putting cute ideas together? I really like it.

How about blue, I can see blue crayons I think and that is the color I see popping out of it.

Uh, I surely hope a 1st grade teacher would not look down on a homemade outfit. I think you are worrying too much!

BTW, I think black looks fine.

1) Jessica!

2) I used the twirl skort pattern from ycmt. But basically you could do it yourself with CarlaC's easy fit pants. She just did all the math for you (sometimes I need the help!).

3) It is a odd color blue and I was worried about having red, yellow and blue in one outfit. I thought both the blue and green would be just too much and neutral would be better.

4) I know, I know!

Thanks! I needed that.

THANK YOU!! Not that I want my Carolina peeps to be dealing with the storm...but y'all know what i mean!

I tease because I love...

Hey, if it hits us, can we come stay with you?

We will pack extra blankies and pillows just for y'all!! I think your hubby and my hubby would get along famously! Sally and Jacob would be best buds and we already know that Megan and Teddy are destined for one another. Add in you and me and our over shares and it would be a family gathering!!!

Would you like to see a picture of this masterpiece? Sorry, my computer is telling me that it no longer has a card drive. I'll try again after dinner, which Megan has already announced she will not eat.

poor Steph...bad computer and uncooperative child...did you wickedly tell Megan to eat it or be a hungry child...or were you too tired to argue and made a PB&J for her?

I so would have been wicked. It makes me feel powerful...

*ahem*

Okay seriously Steph...yes. You are crazy.

but we still love you.

it's okay to be a little off center.

we don't shun those types here...clearly...people seem to be okay with ME being here...so it's all good.

*ahem*

That outfit is DARLING and a half!!!

If Megan's teacher is ugly to her b/c she is wearing a professional grade custom first day of first grade outfit, then she is a MEAN OLD HAG and should not be teaching young children ANYTHING. It's a subtle enough fabric that it certainly shouldn't invite any teasing from mean little six year olds. "Outfits" with pieces that clearly go together are SO the thing this season. Seriously.

it's true.

it IS.

It's a lovely outfit and it certainly doesn't look "Home sewn"...with wonky seams and threads hanging off all over the place. It's beautiful and adorable and Megan looks incredibly sweet in it. If I were teaching first grade and had Megan in my class I would think that that little girl has a very talented mother who clearly loves her and wants her to be the best dressed little girl in the class.

it's cute. no stressing...unless it's about my vacation whether we'll encounter turbulence...

*ahem*

wait...was that self absorbed?

 

[PrincessEM&Me]

It's time I introduce myself! I have been reading (and have read from the beginning of disboutique ) for awhile. I've come to the conclusion that
What a wonderful group of people! I've been greatly impressed with your sewing and crafting abilities, amazed by your generosity through big give and more. You've inspired me to finally get back to sewing!! It's good. Even if sewing projects have been going slow...I do have a black belt in shopping pics soon...

and on a very exciting note....we have been planning a family vacation for next year and I doubt any of you will guess to where so I'll tell ya WE, WHO ARE THREE, ARE GOING TO WDW IN FEBRUARY!!!
DH and I will be celebrating our birthdays AND our 15th wedding anniversary!!!
Our DD7 will have to endure just going to WDW, BBB, CRT, etc. and not celebrating her b'day

I hope this isn't TMI for my first post here but it seems like I know all of you already

 

[MegaWoman]

Bonjour les filles! I'm here on vacation in the beautiful Laurentian mountains, north of Montreal -and I thought I'd pop in 'cause the kids went to bed early, but I have too much to catch up on!

But I wanted to say that I've been working on DH, and I'm thinking of going to the DISMEET. So here's my info:

Stephanie (MegaWoman) Feb. 5-8, staying on-site somewhere!

Bonne Nuit les filles! Je reviendra mecredi! (= Good night girls, I'll be back on Wednesday!)

Stephanie

I think it looks fine. Jenna's teachers have actually been complimenting her homemade uniforms. So I wouldn't worry about her being looked down on.

I think that the black shirt looks cute with the skirt. That entire outfit is adorable.

The black shirt looks good, but I think a white shirt would look better. Black is just so "winter" and it is still sooooo HOT down there! If you have time, do a lighter version of the shirt- if not- don't! She looks great!

As for the teacher......

Have you lost your ever lovin' mind girl?!?!?!?!? If the teacher has a problem with Megans outfit- she needs a life and some class. You're DD is adorable and every single picture I've seen of that child is beautiful! I wouldn't worry for a minute about what the teacher thought. Besides, if that were the case- by the end of the year she'd be begging you to make HER a custom outfit!

Never TMI for us.... and WELCOME to the DISBOUTIQUE thread! We love our newbies!

 

[Tinka_Belle]

I have something really cool to share. About a month ago the AC in my car started messing up. Sometimes it would come on and sometimes it wouldn't. I found out that the 2000-2004 Ford Tauruses have a defect that causes the Blower Motor to rust and eventually stop working. Well I am very proud to say that not only did I diagnose the problem by myself I also replace the Blower Motor and Resistor by myself. So I am now very excited that I was able to do this. So everyone should dance with me and ladies always remember that girls are smarter than boys.

Megan got a hotdog because it is just the three of us. Don't tell Tom, k?

Ok, I know I was being a little crazy. Maybe because all that gathering and sewing and sewing and gathering. Thanks!

I would think that it is acceptable to be a tad self-absorbed when it comes to your vacation, but I defer to the experts.

Are you kidding? TMI is our middle name!

I am so excited that you are going to sew, please holler if you need any help.

And are you coming to our meet? That would be so cool!

Awesome! There will be two Stephanies (our dismeet will rock!).

This is for Jessica. It's Megan's second birthday when we bought her the little house. It was four years ago!

We did not have furniture in our formal living room so we had the house and a tunnel and a tent.

Now I want to see a picture of baby Dallas!

[EnchantedPrincess]

Hi all...I was wondering if some of you would mind sharing (or sharing again if you have in the past) pictures of your sewing area. I am trying to organize my sewing area and trying to find a permanent space to sew instead of in my dining room and trying to get ideas of sewing area/room setup...etc. Thanks!!!!

Way to go!!! I am impressed...I wouldn't even try to do something like that, but I still believe that girls ARE smarter than boys!! LOL

She is so adorable!!! My kids would love that playhouse.

k...your secret is safe with me!

Now I want to see a picture of baby Dallas!

goodness gracious that child is some kind of adorable!!! I can't believe how big she has gotten.

why do they have to grow and get sassy and form opinions? WHY?!

 

[CastleCreations]

Here's a photo of Ireland when she was 4...gosh that was a looooong time ago. Are her bows big enough? LOL
