PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Or, at least skim it :thumbsup2
Welcome to the Disboutique thread!
We are a bunch of ladies (and men) that share a love of Disney, boutique clothes and sewing! Even if you don't sew, please join in, you might just find a new passion!
Be warned, this thread is addictive, and we don't stay on topic!
Lots of the posters on here sell, but we are NOT allowed to talk about it on the thread. Check out signatures for Ebay and Etsy usernames, or just PM the sewer if they post something that you like. We do not have an official list or a Disboutiquers website where we sell. :thumbsup2

"The bookmarks"
has TONS AND TONS of FREE patterns and sewing hints and tips. Most all of the hints and links posted here will go into the bookmarks as well tons of things I've found on the internet. I update if frequently, so check back often. There is a search function, which is great if you are looking for something specific.

Group Photobucket Account
We have a Photobucket group with pictures of our creations. Please do not repost this link and the password on other message boards. A link to our thread would be preferable:
http://photobucket.com/disboutique
Password: Enchanted
For a detailed explanation, on adding pictures and tags click here:
http://disboutique.blogspot.com/2008/05/adding-pictures-to-group-photobucket.html


Each person adds their own pictures to this account. Please only post your own pictures of your own children. Everyone is free to post pictures of boutique, custom outfits or anything you post in the thread.
Please add tags to your picture so that they are easier to find. Right now, we are adding a description, such as Princess, Aurora, and what pattern it is ie: Portrait Peasant Top, Easy Fit Pants.... You can add up to 20 tags per picture, so go ahead and use a few if it is appropriate.

Here's a video tutorial for posting pictures AND TAGS!!! to the Photobucket account, I would suggest watching it in "Full Size" to really see what I'm doing.


FAQ and "Rules"We have made up a few "rules" along the way ;)
1.Be nice, if someone isn't nice, ignore them "Where there is no wood the fire goes out."
If you feel that you MUST respond, do it in PM, do NOT bring it to the boards.

2.You MUST share pictures of everything (and unfortunately, we do mean EVERYTHING!
3.NO APOLOGIZING for how your kids look. That includes wet hair, messy hair, dirty faces, wrinkled clothes etc....We have come to the conclusion that ALL of our children are beautiful, no matter what!
4.No apologizing for messy houses. We like a good game of eye spy around here!
5. No apologizing for being "off topic". We like to have fun here, and are often off topic.
6. If you have a question, ask us, we'll do our best to help! Really, you can post questions here, we like that!
7. If you ask a question and no one answers, don't be upset. Either, no one knows the answer, or your post got missed. Go ahead and ask again!
8. The banana gets lonely dancing by himself, so there is a three banana minimum. We don't want lonely bananas on the DIS!
:banana: :banana: :banana:
(and, just so you know, I do a mean dancing banana impersonation!)
9. Lots of the posters on here sell, but we are NOT allowed to talk about it on the thread. Check out signatures for Ebay and Etsy usernames, or just PM someone if you see something you like. :thumbsup2

HOW TO POST PICTURES

1. Upload the pic of your choice to photobucket
2. Resize the pic in photobucket click on the thumbnail of the picture, it will open up, then click (above the pic)> resize > 15" screen- it will make you verify that you would like to resize the pic (I like the 800X600 size pictures instead of the message board setting, it shows lots more detail)
3. After the pic has resized, go to your album, below the pic that you would like to post, there are 4 different codes (email & IM, direct link, html code & IMG code) Click in the box that has the has the IMG code. It will look something like this http: xxxxxxxxxxxxx
When you click on that box, it will light up in yellow, and say "Copied"
4. In the thread on the Dis (in another open window), click on "post reply". When you are ready to post the pic, right click - a box will open, click on paste. This will paste the link that you copied from your photobucket account.
5. Post reply. The pic should show up!


[SIZE="7"][B][COLOR="Red"][U]MULTI QUOTE TUTORIAL[/U][/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
At the bottom of each post, you will see a little blue box with a + sign it it. If you want to multi-quote that post, you click the + box and then move onto the next post you want to multi-quote and click the + box. After you've clicked all the posts you want to multi-quote, click on "reply" or "quote". All of the items you want to respond to should be in the reply box. Just put your reply to each post after the [/quote] for each post.

[SIZE="7"][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][B][U]How to make thumbnail pictures in your reply[/U]:[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]
When you click reply, the name of the picture will look something like this, but in [ _] brackets
{IMG}http://1234.photobucket.com/albums/1234/nameofthepicture.jpg{/IMG}
To make it a thumbnail, put th_ before the name of the picture, such as this:
{IMG}http://1234.photobucket.com/albums/1234/th_nameofthepicture.jpg{/IMG}
This generally only works for pictures that were uploaded to photobucket.

I figrured it was you! Thanks! I see how it is, you tell me to start going to bed early so you can run amuck on the boards by yourself!
 


Ok so I made this turn and I thought Kristine was buckled, but I think she fell out the car. :headache: Sorry, Kristine!! I'm usually not a bad driver.
 
Alright... I'm here, and on page 1 no less and subbing since I'm trying, yet again, to keep up with this fast movin thread.
 
DANG IT!!!!! I JUST MISSED PAGE 1!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......................;)
 
You are too nice and have not seen anything close up...and I still have not received that Mickey sheet in the mail! BUT I did accidently stumble upon something I have totally been coveting. I have been looking FOR EVER! I managed to get 1 yard of this:

th_Mickeydot-1.jpg



now the challenge is what to make with only one yard! :confused3

OOOOH!!! Where did you find it?

Ok, I don't know what to do. I made Things 1-5 shirts for a big give and was shipping tomorrow. Just read on her trip report she bought the shirts. i was doing 20 shirts for a friend's family reunion trip, so she is going to take the ones left from the big give (now she's buying the stuff for me to make 6-20 for them) The mom made several matching family shirts for their wish trip, so now I don't know if i should make other shirts for the give or just sign up for 1 of the new ones??:confused3

I'm afraid with the shirts she has made and all the gret customs still coming her way, they will have too much to wear during their trip. What would you do???

Tracie
Tracie, I'm so sorry! :hug: I wouldn't make anything else for Amber.

here are my bandana pants.
th_novembre2008010.jpg

they took me like 20 minutes to do, they aren't perfect but I made them and my DS wore them proudly in the house this morning since outside we are freezing!
Those turned out soooo cute!!!
Okay, more help needed. My mind just isn't working on these overalls. Here is the top and I need to figure out wha to put on the leg or legs. I was hoping to just rip open one leg and leave the other undone, but they are size 4T and the legs are SUPER long and that is why I think everything looks weird I have thought of!

th_100_8514.jpg


I think maybe a saying on one leg and was thinking a tree on the other, but all suggestions welcome. But I need a saying, I like 5 letters max usually. I have thought of Ho Ho Ho or Mickey, Joy, Noel, but the last two seem girly (these are for a boy). So thoughts! Merry Christmas is TOO long!

And because Mickey looks weird (I need to fix his mouth) but I decided he looks cuter on a t, here is a cute non weird looking picture

I think it looks fine the way it is. I would just leave the legs blank.

Hey parents - I need suggestions. I got an email from Zoe's teacher today that Zoe said "s**t" in class today. The teacher said it seemed to be an accident but I still feel like an awful mother. I try to be very careful of what I say most of the time but I know I let the word slip out sometimes - like when the sewing isn't going as planned. :headache:. What's worse is I scolded Zoe last night for the same thing - she was "sewing" something that wasn't working right and the word slipped out. I think I feel worse because these do seem to be accidents which means she's familiar enough with the word for it to slip out unintentionally.

Any suggestions on good deterrents? I'm trying to come up with an incremental set of consequences for such slippage.

I would have a contest with her, If she catches YOU swearing, you have to pay her, and if she is caught swearing, she has to pay you. That way, you can both stop the bad habit! :thumbsup2


Teresa, is this in the bookmarks?

http://www.urbanthreads.com/pages?id=161

It is to make a sock monkey! If not, will you add it! I know, I could go and look but thought you might know.

Just because you asked so nicely Jessica, I put it in there!

I'm waiting for it, because the last time we moved I was away and I didn't find the new page for a little while and I was going crazy!

I'm always confused when I hear people say they couldn't find the new thread. I always put a link to it on the last page of the old thread, I would think that if you just followed the links you would get to the new thread? :confused3

Does anyone have suggestions on how to make it easier? I have been planning on updating any of the old threads that I can with the links to all the new threads, but I'm not sure that would help.
 
Subbing - I have 30 days to work with my mom on DD's Disney Christmas customs! :scared: Time just totally flew by!
