Disboutiquers Part 23 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[VBAndrea]

Good morning all....I posted a picture of the set I made for Khelsey's give on the old Big Give board. I know I am late, so if someone can email or pm me her mailing address so I can get it out to her ASAP I would really appreciate it.
Thanks so much!

I PM'd you

IF it would sell before the March 20th Deadline but I am not sure how the resales are doing.

We have always bought our points from Disney so it doesn't really matter to us. I think the move had to do with the huge number of members using their points on the cruise line.

Okay Question here. How does Carla's Bowling Shirt Pattern run is it roomy.

My Ds normally wheres a 5/6 T-shirt since he is broad but I am thinking a 4 may be big enough if it is extra room. He is only 3

It is roomy and the way it fits works well. DS is now in 7/8 but just sqeeked into his first bowling shirt I made. This is the last time he can wear it but with a t-shirt under and not buttoning it, he can just sport his shirt so we can be all matchy matchy.

I really just don't know what to do with the points? At a complete loss

 

[MinnieVanMom]

It's pretty roomy and there are different lengths you can go with for each pattern. Connor has been able to wear the size 5/6 for the last three years, I've just increased the length. I'm in the process of making a new shirt right now and I just went to the 7/8. I wish it was in bigger sizes, it's a great pattern for little boys!

I just use a commercial pattern and then apply the skilz learned from the bowling shirt.

I sew in the strips and then cut on the line for commercial pattern. I use her way to put in the collars always. It is an easy transition.

Oooohhhh...I would love to see the sign language I love you! My daughter is a sign language interpreter.

Here you go! Don't mind the jump stitch between the thumb and crease.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

That is just wonderful! Do you have it in a PES format?

 

[mom2rtk]

I remember when you made that costume. Didn't it take 6 yards of fabric?

Honestly, I couldn't tell you how much it took. It was a bunch (That's a technical term..... ). It probably took that much crushed velvet for the tunic. Probably a little more than that of each color for the cloak. I still thinking I'd like to make myself a Maleficent costume. I think we're going to have to consider DL for a future Halloween trip. The odds of weather cool enough to wear the really fun costumes in FL is just too iffy!

 

[woodkins]

I PM'd you

Got it...I'm heading out to the p.o. right now!
Thanks

This wasn't SW weekend, we were just in the Studios and she wanted Princess Leia. I don't think I had the embroidery machine then either. Anyway, I used an old SW pattern and summerized it. Made a belt for her to hang her gun.

Thank you! I have NO idea what to make.

I just wanted your opinion and thoughts on DVC. I own a contract and have thought of selling for the first time this year.

Now with the changes coming up for the resales, should I sell now or wait? WWYD?

Sell it to me! Haha!!! If only...

Here you go! Don't mind the jump stitch between the thumb and crease.

Love this!


Again...you are ALL too much for me to keep up with! LOL!

Teresa it is SO sweet that you made Arminda's friend outfits!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Just moving the pages along so it jumps before my trip. I am so selfish!!!

I did list the DVC but because I don't need to sell and it is just a thought, I am asking more than most that the Timeshare store has for OKW because I don't really want it to sell. If it does, I will be happy for the money and being able to take DS to new locations around the world.

ALERT: I found a coupon on a public site for Joann's. 15% off including sale price items. TEACHER2011. I don't know if you have to work for a school but DH does and we already had this. Again, I found it doing a general search for Joann coupons.

Froggy, I lost your uote last night. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
And, you daughter is getting so big!!! She is so adorable!!!

Playing with a new pattern...and finished a dress I started over a year ago...still need to do the buttons!! (Easter Stripwork Jumper).

Thanks for letting me share!

These are so beautiful!!! I love the brown toille! What pattern is the second dress, I really love the draping at the neck!

So far, I don't need it. I couldn't believe that Fabricland finally had some. It was so new it was still in a box, but was tagged with the price.

I haven't even started sewing for the next trip. I'm so far behind. I got a new kitten in December. I haven't been able to start working on making the Vida pattern I was going to start in January. I'll have to find a time when Pippi (the kitten) will sleep for a while, otherwise she will distroy the pattern before I finish.

OOH! A kitty!!! Do you have a picture you can share with us? I love kitties!

HILARIOUS!!!! (the girls, not the dress!) The dress is beautiful and I love the Drizella pose. I also think Arminda's boots are a "lovely" compliment to her attire!




Our Cinderella was really good there. I had Lucifer appliqued on the back of dd's dress and Cinderealla first came out and told me dd's how her stepsisters raved about her dress and then told my dd that Lucifer was seen just yesterday chasing Mickey Mouse and how naughty of a cat he was and my dd kept talking about Lucifer chasing Mickey all week long.



Very nice --love the rose!

Thank you, the girls were having fun! Shelby was SOOO excited!!!
Your Cinderella sounds much better than any we've ever had!! Most just seem to want to move on to the next table as quickly as possible!! Hmm.. maybe it's us and not the Cinderella!!!

Awesome! Could you explain to me how to do the peplums? Is there a tutorial online? You could PM me if you want. Thanks!

I followed Carla's tutorial, but I was going to make it with one piece of fabric instead of two, so I had it stretched cross the back instead of gathererd in the middle. That's the way I usually do the Drizellas. But, for this one, I cut the peplum in half in the center back, then did a rolled edge to cover up the cut edges.

Teresa......... I don't get over here all the time but caught these...........

Absolutely PRICELESS!

Thank you!!! Shelby is 13, and she really is great fun!

I made myself an Evil Queen costume a couple years ago. I will warn you that no matter WHEN you do the Halloween party, it CAN be really hot. And no matter how you do it, this is a hot costume. I had mine on only briefly, long enough for pictures with the dwarfs.

I used several patterns, one for the cloak, one for the tunic, and another for the skull cap.

You absolutely amaze me!

Just posted on the old Big Give board, but I am also posting here since I am not sure how much traffice it gets now. I am not going to have the Rosetta bags finished in time for Taylor's Big Give. My serger has died and gone to serger heaven after it ate quite a bit of my Jennifer P fabric DH has said I can get a new Brother serger when income tax money comes in, but that won't be in time to finish. I have new fabric cut out and interfaced, and can send them as Welcome Home gifts, but they will not be ready before the trip. I am soooo sorry!

I saw that you posted that this morning, I apologize that I didn't answer you right away! I think Wendy has now though. We are still checking the Gives on the old board everyday.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! These pictures of the girls made my day. What a hoot to see them having such fun. Great dresses!

Thank you April!!

I like your technical term!!!

Teresa it is SO sweet that you made Arminda's friend outfits!

I was thinking the same thing about April's DVC!!!!

And, thank you! I have always told Shelby that when she goes to Disney, I'll make her some outfits. I'm just so glad she is going! She has had a really rough year, so I'm happy she and her Mom will be having some fun at Disney!

(and, I've told her that I want to hear all about their vacation when she gets back, unless she doesn't have fun at Disney, then I don't want to hear it! )

Just trying to help you move things along, although I really should be doing the dishes or cleaning. (so, if we get towards page 249, you guys just all wait for me to get back, ok?)

Thanks for the code April, I had wondered how you could get the teacher discount online.

I kinda thought so but wondered because I found it from a google search. DH was given a card from the lady at Joann's. It is cute when he gets all the coupons and I get nothing.

I did not have my card in front of me, I found the info I quoted with a Google search as well.

What cute pictures Teresa....the girls are getting so grown up! You did a great job on the dress. I can't believe how much snow there is still. We had 70 degrees here today after our record low temps (in the teens) last week at this time! Crazy Houston weather!



Hey...they get kuddos for taking her AND they took some pictures. You can tell they really enjoyed having her with them.





Yep...my girls and my DGDs had bows in their hair from DAY 1 and never knew any different.

I had my DGD6 over this weekend and I taught her to make the fleece blankets (we are sending them to the Big Give for Haiti). She completed one of them and she was soooo proud. She did most of the cutting and tying herself. I used blue tape to mark off where she needed to cut. It worked like a charm and she had the hang of it in no time.

And just because I had them this weekend (one on Saturday and one on Sunday) and it was super beautiful weather. I took them to the park and took lots of pictures. I had to share a couple of my favorites.

They are both so adorable! That is a great idea to mark the fleece with the tape. I think it's really neat that you have such a close relationship with the girls. That's how my kids are with my parents, and I think everyone really benefits from it!

 

[weluvdizne]

I finally finished my dissertation - all 185 pages!!! I'll have my PhD in just over a week!

And now I can finally get some sewing done (it's been a few late nights recently)! This is what I made my daughter for Valentine's. It's a ModKid pattern. Went together pretty easily! It was great to get back into it!

She was VERY posey!!

Thanks for looking!

Congrats!!!! What a great accomplishment! YEAH! Glad to see you sewing again. You always make such nice things. And, your daughter is a cutie pie!!!

I actually thought you were going to move while I was in Florida, but since you were kind enough to wait for me I'll post photos of the last two Gives I made stuff for. . .

For Khelsey and her sisters

and for Mallory and her brother

Hello Part 24, I see you on the horizon.

 

[mommy2mrb]

love the I-spy bags!

The I Spy bags are great! What did you fill them with, it looks pretty!

 

[miprender]

Yeah...I can quote again.

DD would love it!

I thought this photo was kind of cool!

LOVE this one too... this is our HOME resort

!

Love all the outfits. My mom never takes pictures either. It is a wonder I have any from my childhood and when she comes with us to Disney it drives her crazy because I need to stop every ten minutes for photos.

Love the pictures and I love seeing people outside with short sleeves on again.

I finally finished my dissertation - all 185 pages!!! I'll have my PhD in just over a week!

Thanks for looking!

What a cutie pie. And CONGRATS on your dissertation. That is huge accomplishment.

Thanks for letting me share!

So nice... like everyone posted I really love the colors.

That is just awesome, did people come up to you and ask for your picture. I would have thought you worked for Disney.

Thanks for the coupon code DH is a teacher so I will have to go check it out.
And sending pixie that your DVC sells. We almost bought through resale but Disney had a great offer where we only needed to by 100pts.
