Disboutiquers Part 16 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[tricia]

OK, quick question. Has anyone tried to applique a mickey head onto a ribbed tank top? I wasn't even thinking when my DSIL bought these for us. Do you think it would work if I just stretched the tank a bit, then ironed on the applique and the stabilizer?

these are some of my first sewing attempts. Thanks to the ladies for the wonderful Vida tutorials. I never would have attempted this without you both. And thanks to Carla C. patterns. These are the best.
Everything I have learned about sewing has been from this board. I am so excited that I know how to sew ,and I look forward to learning much more. I take constructive criticism well, so lay it on me!

OMG, those are all awesome. Love your fabric choices.

HeatherSue: I'm not even looking at my ticker any more.... Too much sewing to do and not enough days to get it done........

What days will you be there? We check in the 26th.

BTW: That Cindy skirt set is AMAZING!!!!

That is the same day we check in. We are at AKL, and my SIL at ASSp. Where are you staying?

We're staying at the POP. I'd love to know which parks you'll be in. Here's our lineup:

9/26 /Sci Fi Lunch
9/28 MK BBB/CRT lunch/1900 PF Dinner
9/29 AK/TH breakfast/MNSSHP
9/30 EP/AK lunch/Teppan Edo Dinner
10/1 MK (girls only)/CRT Dinner/MNSSHP
10/2 1900 PF Breakfast/Open Day
10/3 Checkout/CRT breakfast/MK/depart 2 PM

Let me know if we'll cross paths anywhere along the way!

 

[tricia]

9/26 - MK, with Kona for dinner
9/27 - AK, with Boma for dinner
9/28 - DS MM for dinner
9/29 - Epcot, LC for dinner
9/30 - MK, CM for dinner
10/1 - EP, Teppan Edo for dinner
10/2 - MK, CP brunch, 'Ohana dinner.

Notice the 1 park per day theme going on. We are travelling with family whos budget is very tight, so we are not doing park hoppers for the first time this year. We are not up early enough to take advantage of EMH am, nor can we stay up late enough for EMH pm, and we do not want to wait for like 2 hours to see Fantasmic again. So, with that in mind we have used the stay away from EMH and F! days plan in combination with recommendations from TGM.

You are correct it is cruel and should not be tolerated. ANYONE who posts a picture of someone elses child is messed up. And to do it for sick pleasure is terrible. Alot of us have been on this thread since the start and have not had this issue before. I posted as a word to the wise, we no longer have the illusion of "safety" that we once enjoyed.

I am so sorry this happen to you. It is wrong on so many levels from taking pictures of your children to the sickness of making fun. It is hurtful and wrong. We are not safe and anything posted on the net becomes property of all that read it. It is giving up information to everyone. Again, this forum is so wonderful but is a public forum and everyone can read it and do what they want. I am so sorry that people have to be so pathetic and terrible.

If you want just PM me pictures of your family and projects, we can still see what you made that way and it is private. I love your work and would hate to see not be able to share.

April, speaking of days in parks, what are you doing? you will be there at the same time as us too.

We're there the same days, but miss each other the entire time!

We're not park hopping either. I understand why it works for most people, but it's just not my style. I like to pick a park and do it to death!

And we didn't have a lot of choices in park days. Doing MNSSHP twice kind of decided a lot of that. I had to pick parks the following days that I was OK with doing late. And my daughter's birthday is 9/28 so the MK was chosen for that day too. Fortunately we ended up with pretty good days, according to TGM.......

Thanks for all the compliments! Lisa's Alice dress is just beautiful. Her work is amazing in person. I am just thrilled after seeing her creations for two years we have one in the closet!!! My DD starts K for good on Thursday. I am actually really excited for her now.

Congrats!!! You did a fantastic job! I am really impressed!!! I too did not know how to sew until I found this board. It really is a nice group.

DH did an entire spreadsheet over the weekend with our park days, events and dining ADR and location. It is an amazing piece of work. I don't know what days are what as it is all on a spreadsheet for now. We are doing MNSSHP on the Friday night.

Hi Everybody!
I'm back after a 4 day trip to the finger lakes in upstate NY.
I am extremely far behind and will have to wait to catch up at nap time. But I have a few photos to share.

First. I was visiting my Godfather and his wife Margie, who makes jewelry and has a huge assortment of beads. she let myself and another gal visiting choose whatever we wanted and helped us to make a necklace for ourselves. I am NOT good at photographing still objects, but I hope you can get an idea. I love it, but need to wear something other than a polo shirt to wear it (my apparel of choice lately)


[URL=http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2734282060050201308aajCof]
and then we also went to an outdoor antique event and I found this in the barn out back. printed in 1965 (not truly an antique) I thought the gown was unique, different than the books I have for DD3 now, I immediately thought of all of you and that someone might want to make a dress from it.


and someone PM'd me and here are the MM fabrics I was discussing.

 

[VBAndrea]

We will be at Disney Dec. 5th thru 12th. We have decided to stay at the campgrounds this year. We've never camped at Disney, so we thought we would try it.
Now, I am on my way to photobucket to get my pictures. If I mess something up, I'm sorry. I will try to get them up correctly.

We're there the 6th thru the 12th (but only in the parks from the 7th - 11th). I've been too busy on this thread to spend much time mapping out what to do on what days, and I also think I want to sign up for TGM to get a better handle on things. I do know the character meals I want though. Now to just plan out some unique outfits.

Hey Ladies
has anyone ever made the carla simply sweet reversable? I was thinking of making one side tinkerbell and the other ariel for when we go to Pixie Hollow and ariel's grotto. figured I could just switch around her dress. wondering if this would be difficult? I want to cut down on the amt of outfits I have to bring! LOL! thanks ladies.
Amy

I still haven't even made my first SS but I love the idea of doing in reversible -- less clothes to drag around with you. I think it would be pretty easy to do. You're already lining the bodice and I would guess you'd just do the same with the skirt and attch the skirt between the bodice layers, fold the bodice edge under and top stitch a couple of rows. I may look into doing this myself!

Everything is stunning! You have great fabric combinations. I like the Halloween one the best and love the colorful twirl/spiral fabric you used on the bottom edge -- where did you get that? I HAVE to have that fabric. I'm glad you were able to do the Vida so well. I just ordered the pattern today b/c I want to use that for a 1900 PF outfit with appliques (never mind that I've never before in my life appliquied!). I also think I might want to use it for MVMCP. I love your Xmas one as well -- alot of folks on here are going to be very envious of your Grinch fabric!

Hi! We'll be at rope drop at DHS for our first park day on the 27th! My daughter will hopefully have her Belle gown on, so come say hi if you see us!

We'll also be at MNSSHP on the 29th. Watch for us in line early wherever they say Snow White will be out with her dwarfs. My daughter will be in her Snow White costume. I'm going as the Evil Queen, but might not have it on long because of the heat......

And we'll be at CRT on 10/2 for early entry breakfast.

Would love to say hi to a fellow DISer!

I can't imagine having to do the yard work on top of all the housework. I don't know how some of you ladies do it! I really do applaud you! My husband OVER-does the yardwork. He mows our 3 acres every other day and has a striper thing that leaves pretty stripes in the lawn. Plus, he gets out the leaf blower and blows off any grass that may be left on the driveway. Here is photo evidence:

My parents live next door. Let's just say they're not quite as meticulous as my husband. There is a pretty clear line where our yard stops and theirs starts!
---------

LOOK AT MY TICKER!!!! I MUST GET TO SEWING!!!



---------------------

Okay...now I know that our husbands are cut from the same cloth! I went to look for a picture of our yard...let's just say...it looks just like yours...Tim just tends to do diagonal stripes more that straight. He does the whole blowing off of the grass and edges the drive and all. He is the envy of the neighborhood...all the men stop by all the time to ask for tips. The funnier part is...every season we plant new flowers in the flower beds. I thought it was crazy when we first got married...now I love it...our yard is always in bloom! But keep in mind...Tim has no other hobbies...just the yard!

Today was the first day of school for Katie and Patrick. Timmy will start tomorrow. They enter the Kinders staggered so they don't all come on the first 3 days. He will go back on Friday. We have full day K here. I am somewhere in between being sad and excited. Tim's day off is tomorrow, so we get a day off together...just us! He has a full day planned for us. I think that is to keep me busy.
