Disboutiquers Part 24 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[chellewashere]

Over the summer one of the Kindergarten teachers ( also a HUGE Disney fan) called me and asked if she brought me the fabric would I make her curtains for her class room. Well the fabric was actually sheets. She told me I could keep the scraps that she would not need them. So my 8 yr old came to me today and asked if she could sew something so I said sure let me embroider for ya first and then I will teach you the art of gathering and you can add the gather to the top. Here is her/our finished product with the curtain/sheet scraps:

Awesome!!! I love the ribbon thru the braid too! Man shes better than me

I am so excited, after all the lurking I finally have something to share.
I have not sewn in years due to severe RA, so it was really challenging. My very good friend came over this morning and cut the bottom as I could not use the cutter. Otherwise it did it all!
I am thrilled she wont have to wear plan b! hmmm what shall I attempt next

Due to health issues we moved back to Ga, I am happy to report that wednesday I will be getting my Gallbladder removed finally, no more pain.

My girls picked out this fabric for sundresses but I cant find a style that speaks to me. I need to iron it I just got it out of the dryer.

I just bought that fabric in two other colors today! I got one as a remnant and one was on clearance for $2 yard. I was thinking of trying a pillow case dress or shirt with the remnant (it's 34 inches). I think any tyoe of twirl skirt would be cute to -- but neither of my ideas are sundresses

I LOVE it! Can your dd do a tut for how it was made? Is the top part made out of a knit shirt? Please expalin or show a super large pic. I really, really like this!

I swear I had two other things quoted. I really am senile. I guess that's what happens when you're in your mid 40's!

I love the Black and white dress

I have a few funky Bandannas I'd like to make Madi a top out of.

I just realized after reading someone elses post that you meant dresses for the girls...OH BOY!! Sorry.
I made a very cute halter dress that would look cute with that fabrci

you're a better mom than I am. I was supposed to send in two white hard boiled eggs per child to school. All I had was brown so my dd took two and my son declined. The brown actually dyed really well and ds got two eggs from his friend that brought in two extra. That's the extent of our egg dying!




MARIANNE I went to Walmart today. One of the fabrics I thought was StarWars turned out to be GI Joe and the other was no longer there. I even asked the lady and she said she remembers it and even helped look for it, but alas, no Star Wars at my Walmart anymore.

We dyed eggs at a friend's house yesterday while there for an egg hunt ... the mom doesn't like hard boiled eggs and sent me home with 18 ... that's the extent of OUR egg dying

Thanks for looking!!! I bet I know exactly which GI Joe fabric you thought was Star Wars! I've gotten all excited twice now and it was dang GI Joe instead of Star Wars!

Hi Marianne,

I went to the Arboretum Walmart this morning, sorry no Star Wars fabric. They do have a nice fabric department, better than Monroe and the Galleria.

Thanks for checking! I'll have to take a trip to Arboretum soon

So cute!!! I used to love sewing with my mom ... I made a lot of my own clothes when I was younger b/c I had so much fun LOTS of circle skirts I wanted to live in the past ... Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, Mr Sandman . . . yup, I was one crazy kid

Since I can't stand the smell of hard boiled eggs, we aren't dye-ing ANY! We are using the plastic eggs filled with money!

So far the kids haven't complained one bit! LOL


Hopefully my older daughter will get here to watch the younger two while I make a WalMart run to get the kids baskets....I am such a bad mom. Worrying so much about other stuff...I completely forgot to get baskets for them!

(of course, I did manage to get them both a crayon roll up made and DS has an Ipod and DD has a laptop...so I doubt they will complain too much!)

Has anyone ordered from Hanes.com for blanks???

They're having a great sale and I need to get shirts for a BigGive and wasn't sure how they run ...
What size would you get for a 5T? The S(6-8) or the XS(2-4) ??? Do their Mens & Ladies shirts run true to size???

I could get the 5 BG shirts I need plus a polo for DS#1 for $24!!!!!

 

[NiniMorris]

ARGH!!!

I was just browsing on a Disney board...not here...and someone asked if it was really necessary for their daughter to wear a Princess dress to a princess meal??!!?? Seriously?

I thought I was having heart palpitations!

I so would have written back (and then not posted it-because I try to censor myself before causing trouble):
"Of course it's not NECESSARY, but why wouldn't you want her to??? Either she doesn't want to wear one and isn't into the whole Princess thing -so then why go to a princess meal??? Or you don't remember what it's like to WANT to be a princess as a child and just don't want to be bothered GETTING her the dress ...

I'd LOVE to have a daughter to take to a princess meal in a princess dress ... lord help me if I'm ever blessed with a girl ... I was one of those tomboys that LOVED to LIVE in dresses as a kid, so all of these fabulous girly dresses y'all make ... yeah, I'd go nuts making them

My daughter is a tomboy princess which means she wears her jeans w/ a tiara But thankfully I still have at least one more year of dressing her in girly things...knock on wood

That turned out really cute!

I managed to make two Jessie dresses this week...

And my favorite part... I lined the bodice in Cow... LOL It's a fact - I'd be the only one who felt that it completed an outfit.

Now I'm on to the BG wallets... I finished Tink and Ariel this morning, and nearly half done with HP... I have the Star Wars and Mickey all cut out and ready to sew up tomorrow morning.

D~
