Disboutiquers Part 10 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[kimmylaj]

The other day I posted a video tutorial showing how to pos and tag pictures in the group Photobucket account.

I think the only one that has mentioned watching it so far is Heather. (Thanks Heather!)
I was wondering if it isn't loading up right for everyone else? It loads up fast on my computers, but Heather said it took awhile on hers. Is anyone else having problems with it?


I put the link in the first post, but here it is again if you missed it. Corey showed me how I could do this, so part of the thanks goes to him for this. Thanks Corey!




And in case you are thinking this is just a pitiful attempt to find out if ANYONE besides Heather appreciated the time it took me to do this, well you are right!

it worked for me this time the other day i had trouble but iwas on a different computer, its really good, i think i might open 2 windows after the kids are in bed and give it a try. thanks for putting it togetherand you know we all appreciate your hard work ..sorry if i dont say it enough....job well done

Now THERE you go!!! Come on, you need to learn to be more obnoxious about these things!

Hello again I'm back



But in my absence.... I made a PETTISKIRT woohoo soooooo excited. They were for my sisters wedding on Saturday. No-one here really understands Pettiskirts as they aren't readily available but I knew you gals would

Can I share pics???

Anyway - I have no children today and my machines are off for a service so I might grab a coffee and do some catchups (I have been secretly lurking since I disappeared )


Bye for now

yes, where are the pictures??? We need to see them!!! And, back!

I have a picture of you with a stack of McDonald's catchup packets downing them like shots!

I made this Monday night, I know yall will forgive me posting it with out the bows. I am in the middle of making them for Madi.

Oh, your daughter is so adorable!! I love her hair!!!! The outfit is pretty cute too! I love those ruffled pants! The bow is really cute too. There is a girl on your son's wrestling team?

UmmmAnyone know how to get crazy glue off skin????
.

Nail polish remover works well.

it worked for me this time the other day i had trouble but iwas on a different computer, its really good, i think i might open 2 windows after the kids are in bed and give it a try. thanks for putting it togetherand you know we all appreciate your hard work ..sorry if i dont say it enough....job well done

Aww, thanks!

Thanks to Glenda too!

I finally uploaded my pics for Emily's wish cruise.

Ariel for Emily and Cindy for Sami

I love the design of those shirts! Especially the Mickey head! They are going to love these! And the bags are adorable!

 

[danicaw]

Super Cute! I love it.
I also like the idea of pink dots.
I know I am not a lot of help

Has anyone done the "Oh-So-Chic" apron at YCMT?
I am looking for a couple of cute... not to hard apron patterns for some gifts for adults.
I also love the Emmaline apron pattern

But I have to track it done online...everyone seems to be out of the pattern....thats why I love e-patterns....they are always in stock.
So, I think the "Oh-So-Chic" would be a better one to start on.

 

[Flea]

hehe Catchup?? I think we call that sauce here - the tomato stuff Funny how 2 english speaking countries have so many differences. I always learn new stuff on here - Like what you call a jumper -we call a dress, what we call a jumper you call a sweater. Oh and Bangs - now I know that they are a fringe


Here are some pics

Sorry lots of pics I was just so excited to do them - though they took me about 5 days to make 2 of them

I have more pics on my blog but not sure if I'm allowed to post links here: just search for knewbieknitter and I should come up

I have been so busy after the holidays sewing sewing sewing..
Here is 2 sets I have finished.

Lori

So cute!

I've posted a few times but thought I would share my experience this weekend. Now granted I am a very inexperienced sewer, learning and teaching myself as I go along. Did super with the free doll wrap skirt from YCMT, so I started on the easy fit pants for the dolls. Everything went smoothly until I was SUPPOSED to be sewing the casing for the elastic, but what I was really doing was sewing the front and the back pieces together. I did not know what I had done, but when I figured it out WOW I felt foolish. The directions couldn't be more specific, I mean it even has pictures !!! My DH asked what the problem was and I assured him that yes I could read a pattern, and follow the pictures, I mean for goodness sake I am college graduate. He laughed at me all night, complimenting me on my new favorite hobby. He said in a very deadpan way, "UHH maybe you should take a sewing class" to which I responded very sarcastically "UHH Ya think!!!!" anyway I finished them and they look ok. I really have to take some pics and post because I am very proud of the skirts and pants.

Don't know if this will make you feel better but I took sewing in high school, sewed a lot years ago, my Mom and 3 sisters all sew and I STILL sometimes make those stupid mistaks! But I usually don't do the same dumb thing more than once-just keep finding new dumb things to do.

Hi Everyone,

I whipped up the tinkerbelle top for the big give (DUE TOMORROW!!!) hopefully she will like it - i made a ribbon that goes from the center and then back around her neck to tie it - hopefully it will look more grown up to her!

Also, Daniel seems to be coming out of the posterior fossa syndrome a bit, he was more alert today when DH visited him and was able to stay awake and keep both eyes open during most of the visit. He is also eating very well and is really hungry. Yesterday he got his "tatoos" for the radiation and his helmet to protect his face at Christiana - and he is scheduled to start outpatient therapy at duPont next week. So things seem to be progressing. His latest MRI showed something abnormal where they took the tumor out - they are not sure if it is the nasty tumor tissue starting to grow back (this is what medullablastoma does) or if it is some blood that collected and will clear up (his tumor had a lot of blood vessels in it). Right now, they are saying that Daniel is mute - however its not total mutism, he answers yes/no but prefers to nod his head.....hopefully his speech therapist will be able to bring him around. Whew, alot going on ,,,,,,,,,,I cant keep up with it all, I can imagine how his parents must be doing this!

I almost forgot - here are the kids in their Christmas plaid - Tim refuses to wear a vest still (a year later) so we went with pants - he looked so cute!! The girls looked sweet too! Hopefully they will wash well - has anyone washed the pleated skirts yet???

Thanks All, Wendy

She will LOVE that shirt! The kids look so cute in their plaid!!! Glad to hear Daniel is making some progress-continued prayers for him.

Can you guys help me decide what to do?

A friend asked me to minnie-up a plain black hoodie for her daughter and this is what I came up with:

Of course, because she is a sweetheart, she sent me an extra hoodie in Megan's size to decorate as well. But Megan's minnie outfit is this one:

See, the dots don't match. Should I decorate in the larger minnie dot or would that look weird? Or should I decorate with the smaller minnie dot or would that clash with her skirt? The reds don't match exactly. I don't know what I should do. Or should I decorate with pink and black to match her valentine's stuff? I have been thinking about this for a month and can't decide what to do. I am almost to the point that I think I should make a new minnie outfit with the smaller dot, but that seems wasteful. I know you guys will have great ideas. Thanks!

That jacket is so cute! I think either dots would work for Megan.

There will be no sewing in the house today. It is 11:37 and I just got my plowing done. I got stuck twice and had the renter help get me out.

This is how the day goes so far. HK, our cat wakes up Hunter at 4am. He says he tummy hurts and then throws up all over me, the bed, the pillow, the down comforter, the duvet, the carpet, and 3 bath mats. Then all over the bathroom floor and toilet. The poor little guy. So I get all things and people cleaned up, start the laundry, put him back in the bed that just got a complete cleaning with vinegar on the mattress and guess what?? He got sick all over again and just like before. He isn't running a fever but just throw up Now I am out of sheets, the laundry room is full and the machine is going. It is about 5:30 and I have to get the renter's plowed out so they can get to work. I tuck the sick little guy in truck with blanket and pillows and we spend the next 1.5 hours plowing, getting stuck, getting unstuck, plowing. Hunter started to perk up so I brought him to school with instructions to call me immediately if he even complains.

I think because we have both had this sinus thing that he couldn't clear his throat and it caused him to throw up. I asked what was wrong and he said he has a lock in his throat. He has autism so I think it could mean that the cold is blocking his throat.

I only have two more loads of laundry to do and I still have to make the bed, again. I did spot clean the carpet and I did mop the floors with Lysol.

Here is the strange thing. I feel good about being able to handle all the things that life has thrown at me with DH being away. I have figured out how to start the snow beast (plow truck) in -29. I know how to use the screw driver to open the hood, I can take off the air filter and manifold so fast now. Starting fluid is my best friend. I can plow out renters, neighbors, mom and then get my drive done. I can handle the sick child, the trash, the plowing, problems with paperwork, bills, etc.

It makes me feel very empowered to learn that I can do so much. Sorry for going on so long.

You go girl! I just hope there isn't too much more stuff to test you with!

I also got this new Cars fabric there:

Love the cars fabric!

Can I share pics???

Please do!

I made this Monday night, I know yall will forgive me posting it with out the bows. I am in the middle of making them for Madi.

So cute! Those shirts will look great too!

I finally uploaded my pics for Emily's wish cruise.

Those are great!

You can post a link to your blog. There is a link to my blog in my signature.

I love those pictures. You did a great job on those skirts. I love that one picture of your DD especially. She is so darling.

 

[Adi12982]

I've finally caught up! I've had my mom have surgery, grandfather and grandmother in the hospital for a week each, mom and brother in hospital with bronchitis since October (bronchitis was within the last week) plus the holidays. . . . BUT I still fit in sewing for the Thrifty under 50 and had done some before so I am going to upload pictures and be posting tons soon, hope you don't mind.

I have really enjoyed seeing everyone's Holiday pictures and the recent customs. Thanks so much for sharing!

 

[minnie2]

Thanks for all the advice. Usually mom helps out but she got promoted at Hobby Lobby and I feel I never get to talk to her! I am going to attempt to make it tomorrow. Nothing too exciting, just pink fleece mom had laying around, but I love the pattern[/COLOR

Can't wait to see it!

They are wonderful!!!!!! Your little one has the greatest hair!




Ok I am trying my 1st real applique hopefully tonight or tomorrow! Wish me luck!

 

[2cutekidz]

These are for (one of) the Big Give - they are going on a cruise. I thought these would be perfect for Pirate Night.

The Wish child went through chemo and has adorable short hair - so I made the pirate girl match.

For her little sister. The other skirt was too short for DD to try on, it's the same except it doesn't have the black and white Damsask fabric.

 

[Adi12982]

I'll start here. . .

October 19th my cousin had her baby shower. . .

I made this diaper cake as the gift from my mom and brother (they paid for the supplies, I put it together). It was my first time making one, and no one in my family had seen one before, so they were amazed!

Here are the items I made for her:

(A line jumper)

(stripwork jumper, w/out the strips):

(cap sleeve portrait peasant dress and bloomers):

AND, last but not least, a Pooh and friends shopping cart cover:

Sorry to go back so far, but here's Halloween. . .

I carved this pumpkin:

and DH carved this one:

I made boot covers for DH (don't seem to have a picture of them), the shirt and the vest:

Here's me, I made myself one of the no sew tutu's, but can't find any pics. . .

We went to a Halloween party for the area of Miami his parents live in (Virginia Gardens) and DH won 2nd place and a $25 gift certificate. . . awesome for a costume I only bough fabric to make the "boots" ($2) the rest was made from stuff from my stash and totally at the last minute. He had the hat and we got the face paint for another $3 at wallyworld, so a total of $5 on the costume!

 

[Adi12982]

I made some outfits for some friends of our's little girls back in DC that I shipped to them (at the same time I shipped for Chloe's little give, but I didn't MAKE Chloe anything, I just didn't have time with so many family illnesses. . .I did buy her two pair's of pants and a pair of sneakers). . .

anyhow here they are:

This one is for a little girl names Calista who will be two in April:

(this is Calista with her mom):

Scared of Santa:

Those were all pictures I got from her mom, the other two outfits are:

Emmeline is 1 years old and Eliza is 7. Her mom hasn't eamiled me pics yet, so when I get some I will post more, but in this picture you can see Calista nd Eliza:

And here is my best friend from High School's daughter's outfit. She lives in Miami, so I was able to get these pictures back in early November, but hopefully I will get more pictures of her around Christmas with this on:

Me holding her:

She'd just learned to walk on her own that week!!

 

[Adi12982]

Last one for today. . . I have more but have to get them on the computer to then upload and THEN I can post )sorry if I'm boring you with all my pictures):

For my birthday DH surprised me with two nights at the AS Movies and MVMCP (neither of us had ever been, in fact I'd never been for my birthday). It was actually on the day of my birthday (December 9th), and I threw these together the night before, no sewing just ironing!

This is one of us wearing them. We had dinner at Tony's Town Square. We didn't have a reservation, we just went there around 4:30 and asked if they has availability. She said they couldn't guarantee indoors, but I said that was ok, we preferred outside, so we were actually the first called to sit, period! We felt special and had a great meal, and a free birthday sundae (in the shot):

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

What a gorgeous photograph...not that your DD isn't gorgeous

Super cute!!! I love it!

GOOD JOB to your DH!!! I want a surprise MVMCP trip!!!! Happy Belated Bday

 

[MegaWoman]

This is the one I bought at Walmart.

There is also this one at Walmart:

I also got this new Cars fabric there:

I made this Monday night, I know yall will forgive me posting it with out the bows. I am in the middle of making them for Madi.

Okay, now I MUST get my hands on some of this LPS fabric for my friend's DD, she would go nuts!

Great. When I saw the pink one, I was like too bad we don't do pink. But now that I know there is a purple/blue I NEED some LPS fabric! It's a shame we don't get disney fabric here. DOes anyone know how much it is for a yard?

Let's hope we get the new fabric at WalMart here in Canada! Or I'm heading to Buffalo in the next couple of weeks . . .

Cute, Cute, Cute! Love your blog too . . .

Honestly I kind of like them the way there are. Another one of the authors that sales on that site is doing the same thing.
