Disboutiquers Part 28 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[blessedmom4]

I am thinking this may have grown into being something too big -- I'm not really sure what is going on anyway since I'm not on FB. I just e-mailed Lisa B and asked her to forward it to you (I don't have your e-mail addy). Anyway, if it's too much I will come at another time. Alexa just really wants a sleepover with Lisa and I was just hoping to meet Lisa B. You have too much in your life to worry about than having a bunch of us invade on you.

Emailed you back... You are coming and staying with me as planned...nuff said....Remember, I am MUCH bigger than you.

Prayers coming your way for Allison!

You know I am praying!

I meant to say in my last post, I hate to hear about your ducklings Andrea.. That's really sad.. Did you ever tell your kiddos?
I am SOOO sorry Andrea, I forgot to comment earlier!


You know we have an IKEA here in ATL and I have NEVER been!
I have gone to ours...ONCE! It is huge and has a weird layout...
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!! You know how life goes tho, we've all made plans to come but I bet as time gets closer a lot of people will end up having to change plans. I wonder if a hotel would give us a block of rooms! I can say for me, I don't mind if we just meet out at restaurants and fabric shops and stay out of people's homes. I know everyone has families and don't want to mess up your routines. And if I get to come without my kiddos I'd be more than willing to share a hotel room to help someone save money. My nephew lives in Concord, hoping I can slip some time in with him as well.
Beth, Do you remember us? You sent us postcards and sent Rachel the guitar stand, strings and headbands and goodies for the children and for me the clippies and keychain (I have it on my car CD holder), and kleenex cover...we have used it all! We also live near Concord...
I'm stokes to be headed to the Applique Conference this weekend so I know I'll have a lot of catching up to do when I get back!
Have fun!

Y'all enjoy your weekend.

Enjoy yours as well!

Hi Judy!!! It's so nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you too...D~ wasn't it???

Judy already offered me one of her beds, and so did Marianne... I didn't want to intrude on Judy's bed (especially if it left Andrea homeless for the weekend)... So, I took Marianne up on her offer... However - that doesn't mean that I won't be spending a lot of time at Judy's, and I don't feel bad infringing on anyone's personal time... I thought you guys were inviting me strictly for entertainment purposes?
Andrea has her bed staked out, as does Amy (your coming too, I am also bigger than you)! NOBODY is infringing, trust me.
Andrea... You NEED to come!!! It's imperative that you are there!!!! It won't be the same with out you!!!!
She is!
I read a quote on this page... I am so very sorry about the sweet Duckies... I've been waiting anxiously to hear about them, and I was hoping to see sweet ducky pictures... Big hugs my dear friend - I wish I could do something to ease your pain.

Me too.

Sandi... I really love this outfit you made - it seems perfectly tailored to your body and it is so flattering on you (and I love your shoes - but I am a shoe freak...)! Big kudos for a job well done - I love everything about it!

VERY flattering!

Please come.... Just because there will be a lot of people there (people I really don't know either) doesn't mean that we can't break off into groups that of people that know eachother better... I am only going to know a handfull of people there... Judy, Lisa, Andrea (hopefully), Marianne, Beth (I think)... Did I forget anyone? But I really want to go and have a good time with some great people that I have met through this board, and who have become some of my very favorite people and best friends.

She is talking about me mostly...aren't you D~...

This is a good idea too... If you all would rather us rent a hotel room for a few of the days (so you can get a break from us - you know you might need it - LOL) - I would totally rent a room too...

D~

I am sure most ARE renting rooms, but the original plans stand...right???? I definitely have Andrea, Lisa and Amy at my house.


Now, I must say goodbye, I have hijacked this thread enough!

Andrea and D~ Judy is very serious....DON"T mess with her
I am sure most ARE renting rooms, but the original plans stand...right????

Now, I must say goodbye, I have hijacked this thread enough!

nope, never enough Judy!!!

Wow! So much great stuff has been posted this week. Definately TMTQ but everything has been fabulous. love all the outfits, the sweet babies, love it all. Today my oldest DS had Prairie Day at school. All the kids got to dress up and they did several games and activities from way back then and sample foods they would have ate and even made their own butter. Last week the kids colored a quilt square. Over the weekend and early this week I sewed all their quilt squares together with batting and a plain white square on the back. Today one of the activities was to hand quilt their squares so I volunteered to help all the kiddos with their quilting, mostly it was just getting knots out but it was alot of fun. DS is taking after his mom and did a fabulous job going around three of the squares. Hard to see but he quilted around the big one in the middle, the top left and bottom right squares.

Here is the backpack I made for the last give.

I'm currently working on three of these for the current give.

 

[cogero]

I am thinking if I come of staying in Concord because that is where I am familar with from going to my art workshops and I like the Embassy Suites there. but am going to research the area more

I know where the IKEA is in NC too is that sad or what.

I want to talk to G and C about this. I would probably fly in Thursday or Friday and go home on Sunday.

we are getting to Charlotte on Tues the 14th and flying out on the 20th!

 

[VBAndrea]

Ugh! Where did my quotes go??????


JUDY, LISA and D:
I will still come ~ I just didn't know what was going on as I'm not in on the FB thing and I didn't want to impose on Judy b/c I know what a hectic life she has with homeschooling and Dr's appts. I really just don't want to be a burden on Judy and make this work for her -- I want fun for Judy!!!

Let's see what else...

THE DUCKS: I did tell the kids -- they caught on pretty quick when I let the dogs out in the backyard rather than walking them. I showed them the shells and told them that maybe the mama saved a few babies (though I know it was a lie) and we found a footprint in the mud near the nest which doesn't exactly look like a raccoon, opossum, or fox, but dh thinks it best matches the opossum (who I saw walking along our fence one evening not too long ago). The kids took it really well and actually seemed unphased. I am slowly doing better but still am very upset by the whole situation.

ADORABLE quilt square Princess Mickey

 

[blessedmom4]

He is ADORABLE and did a GREAT job!

Those are WONDERFUL!! I love the extra pockets.

I hope you get to come Chiara, glad you are considering it now. I LOVE that Embassy Suites, my younger three just worked a tourism conference up there for the Governor's office last month...of course, you COULD stay at The Great Wolf Lodge, but I bet we would NEVER see you then!

Ugh! Where did my quotes go??????
The DIS ate them...

oh dang, you got me Judy, yes I am quick to lose my cool....you are the more level headed between the two of us....I think its your southern charm and voice that people fall in love with!!

 

[PurpleEars]

Good morning ladies....WOW, I have not been on this thread in many, many months...I was told to stay away. It used to be my escape, as I drooled over EVERYTHING that I WILL some day learn to make, if I am ever able to get a machine. And you should see my little fabric "stash"....someday....

My name is Judy. My friend Lisa B (mommy2mrb) and I seemed to have inspired a big trip to Charlotte for some...and I am certain there are many of you who are coming to Charlotte who are saying Judy who?, because this has grown far beyond just a DIS meet of a few friends. I was told that there was talk over here that I should know about, so I decided this morning was as good a time as any to visit and say HI and that I hope to meet all of you who make the trip. We are a wish family who was INCREDIBLY BLESSED to have been the recipients of the most amazing Big Give ever (of course, I am prejudiced, but it truly was)! Teresa Joy headed up our give and she was AMAZING. To this day we wear our outfits and on any given week at least one of us has something on we received. We will NEVER be able to Thank you all enough; however, I hope to personally hug as many of you as I can when you come to Charlotte (be forewarned ).

I also wanted to invite you over to our TR if you want to see some of the incredible outfits in action. I am only on day 4 and our TR is LONG. Life has definitely gotten in the way since we returned...but on the first page, post 3 there is a table of contents so that you can read and avoid the chatter...although there is a lot of funny stuff and life battles in between!

Forgive me for crashing your thread; however, I had to see what the buzz was about and say...if you are available to come to Charlotte, I hope to meet you! I also hope you don't mind if I pop in from time to time and tell you how much I LOVE your creations! I might even ask for prayer. Lisa (my wish princess) has been in the hospital three times since our return, twice for major things. We are looking at more surgery starting May 15 that will be approximately 7 to 9 days in length. I definitely could use some strong prayer warriors for that! Don't worry, I am more Pollyanna than Gloomy Gert, so I will try not to bring you down.

PS: We live VERY close to Ikea.

As much as I would love to come and meet you and many othres, the distance just isn't practical for us. I was fortunate to get a chance to meet Lisa in February. I hope I will get a chance to meet Chiara later in August at Disney World.

I am sorry to hear that your princess Lisa is having more health issues. I will continue to pray for your family.

This is an outfit (jacket and skirt) I made for myself in December:

This is a lovely outfit! Perfect for the office! I like the background in the picture too (as in it looks like you have a nice big area for a garden!)

Wow! So much great stuff has been posted this week. Definately TMTQ but everything has been fabulous. love all the outfits, the sweet babies, love it all. Today my oldest DS had Prairie Day at school.

The quilt sqaure is very cute! The backpack looks great too! I am sure the families will enjoy having the backpacks!

Looks great! I can't wait to see the final product!

Judy - I tried to grab one of your posts to quote, but it got all messed up. I know you mean business and I'm glad you've talked some sense into Andrea

I am thinking if I come of staying in Concord because that is where I am familar with from going to my art workshops and I like the Embassy Suites there. but am going to research the area more

I know where the IKEA is in NC too is that sad or what.

I want to talk to G and C about this. I would probably fly in Thursday or Friday and go home on Sunday.

It would be so great if you could come down too, Chiara! I know you're most familiar with the Concord area, and like Judy said, she isn't too far from there. . . I'm down in SW Charlotte near Carowinds and not too far from Ballantyne (where i think there is another Embassy Suites, but I'm not 100%). Mary Jo's is maybe 20 mins. from me? Anyway, I know you've been down for your art workshops and the race, right? Let me know if i can help in any way!

As much as I would love to come and meet you and many othres, the distance just isn't practical for us. I was fortunate to get a chance to meet Lisa in February. I hope I will get a chance to meet Chiara later in August at Disney World.

I totally hear you on the distance thing . . . it would be so cool to get to meet you one day! You inspire me with all the things you do with your 4x4 machine!!! As much as I didn't want to go to Montana last summer, I'm glad it gave me the opportunity to meet D~ in person and hand deliver her patterns to her

I haven't had a chance to do much this week - migraines had taken over my life the past few days I need to work on my BigGive items and I need to make a Mickey Mouse present for a friend's two year old . . . He loves all things Mickey and his birthday is on Cinco de Mayo . . . any suggestions?

Oh I bet you were just so proud of your DS! His quilt square looks great. And you are so talented with the backpacks.

Let's see what else...

Oh Andrea, I'm so sorry to hear things did not go well with the ducks. Mother Nature sure is brutal sometimes I think you did the right thing to tell the kids the truth. I wish I could give you a big hug.

Popping in with another peek - stitching out Safari Mickey right now!

AAAAHHHH Sandi you are such a tease! this is looking so neat already though, so I can't wait to see the finished item.

I haven't had a chance to do much this week - migraines had taken over my life the past few days I need to work on my BigGive items and I need to make a Mickey Mouse present for a friend's two year old . . . He loves all things Mickey and his birthday is on Cinco de Mayo . . . any suggestions?

Oh no! I'm sorry that you haven't been feeling well. I hope those pesky migraines take a hike and don't come back. Hmmm, I ran across this tutorial for making maracas out of leftover plastic easter eggs. I bet you can decorate them Mickey style. I know MY (almost) two year old would LOVE something like that (I might not love it, but that's a whole 'nother story! HA!)

http://www.danamadeit.com/2012/04/tutorial-easter-egg-maracas-for-cinco-de-mayo.html

*edit* Um, I wanted to add here that I would also add another gift like one of your coloring journals or even a simple Mickey appliqued shirt. I didn't want you all to think that I was el-cheapo when it comes to birthday gifts, but I just thought that would be a cute tie-in to Cinco de Mayo.

Thanks so much for the compliments on the Little Mermaid dress. For those that asked, its the Marissa pattern from SisBoom.

I haven't had much time to sew lately. Still one project and a few finishing touches that need to happen. I realized last night that its pretty much just 2 wks before our trip so I'm starting to stress. I'm plugging away on the skirt today though. I discovered the my brand new rotary cutter is warped or something. It only cuts a bit and I've been having to go back and cut 'blanks' as such that are left in the fabric. Its a pain in the butt. Go figure, it'll slice the finger of my DS4 who managed to figure out how to remove the safety cover on it in the two minutes he was left alone but won't cut freaking fabric. I frayed so much fabric that most of this stripwork skirt ended up being cut by hand. Grrrr.

WOO HOO for the final countdown to DINSEY!!! WOW, just two weeks till you are THERE! Sorry your new rotary blade is a dud! that would be a big PITA to have to cut out a stripwork by hand!

Christopher's birthday shirt!! Thanks Andrea!! I know they are blurry...

Haven't been around much as Allison has been continuing to not feel well. They have stopped her current treatments as it has been determined it has yet again failed. She is not eating and supposed to be on a pediasure liquid diet. (although I am not always able to get her to drink it all) IF all goes well with her testing in the next week, she will be able to start a new treatment by the end of next week. Please pray for Allison!! It's terrible to see how much pain she is in. I am trying to check in and read, but not able to post as much! Thanks!!!

HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY to your sweet little man! Such a cutie. Sorry to hear that your DD isn't feeling well. I am praying for her and the rest of your family.

You all rock! Thank you to everyone thaat took the time to complement my 'Ariel' dress and little girl. I'm a slow sewer, but I love how it turned out.

I'm almost done with the Cars dress. It's amazing how fast it made up when I wasn't smocking, rolling roses, etc. LOL The diaper cover that I made for it, took me longer than the dress!

I bet it's nice to do a "simple" sewing project every now and then! I can't wait to see the finished Cars dress.

Also wanted to tell you that you inspired me and I made myself a dress. It is extremely simple, only had 3 pattern pieces. It turned out better than I thought it would. I ordered a Burda pattern to try next. It came the other day. I have to figure out how to adjust the pattern for my shape. I've only done that once before and it wasn't entirely successful. LOL! I also joined that Sewing Pattern review board so that I could read some reviews. Although I do tend to make the same patterns over and over again.

hey, I'm with Andrea....WHERE ARE THE PICS of this said dress???




Ugh, I have totally lost my sewing mojo. I NEED to be at the machine working on SOMETHING but I'm just not feeling it. I even tried pulling out all of my fabric stash to see if anything inspired me and nothing. Hopefully this will pass soon so I can get more things done for our trip.

[Sandi S]

hey, I'm with Andrea....WHERE ARE THE PICS of this said dress???

Yes, what she said...

I stitched out Mickey & Minnie for the safari Mish-Mash skirt I need to decide how to place them on the ungathered skirt before I gather it and sew the waistband on. Any preferences? (the ones with all 4 are the front and the ones that are two and two are side views)

This is my favorite combination! I like Donald and Daisy alternated with Mickey and Minnie, I like the varying heights, and I like the spacing! Who are these appliques from? If we ever go back I want these for dd.

Have we met before... your Blue Letters look familiar

It's about time! Every time I go look over there I still see the Happy Easter post! BTW, if I ever forget about you it's b/c I don't subscribe to threads -- clogs up my e-mail way too much.

I always subscribe to thread but I make sure to set it to no email notifications. HTH

Thanks - the Pink Fig Mish Mash skirt is my pattern for this and it is a patchwork/stripwork with two sections being gathered.

As Andrea pointed out, I do have a blog: http://mamamademine.blogspot.com/

I also am very active on Pattern Review and there is a link to that on my blog - shows most recent reviews, but I have made a lot of stuff for me.

This is an outfit (jacket and skirt) I made for myself in December:

Cute jacket & skirt.

Here is the backpack I made for the last give.

I'm currently working on three of these for the current give.

Cute backpack and love that your DS was quilting.

THE DUCKS: I did tell the kids -- they caught on pretty quick when I let the dogs out in the backyard rather than walking them. I showed them the shells and told them that maybe the mama saved a few babies (though I know it was a lie) and we found a footprint in the mud near the nest which doesn't exactly look like a raccoon, opossum, or fox, but dh thinks it best matches the opossum (who I saw walking along our fence one evening not too long ago). The kids took it really well and actually seemed unphased. I am slowly doing better but still am very upset by the whole situation.

ADORABLE quilt square Princess Mickey

I didn't realized that many people were planning on coming either and I am on FB

I still feel sad about your duckies too.... and I was so hoping our Robins would come back and make a nest where they did last year but I guess they won't.

Yes, what she said...

I like these two combinations.

I know we have some pa sewers on here. I just found out I'm about and hour from the fabric outlet in leymone. Wondering if you've been there and if it is worth the trip? Heading out to the ribbon outlet in Hagerstown, and maybe the fabric outlet in shippensburg.

I love the ribbon outlet in Hagerstown. I go there frequently for my ribbons. I get huge spools of grosgrain ribbon for $2. Plus you can sign up for their email list and they send out coupons for an extra 15% off. I've never been to or heard of the fabric outlets i Shippensburg or Leymone. We live closer to DC though.

My inlaws live right near the one in Lemoyne - it's decent, what they have varies - I try to get there when we are in PA. The one you need to visit is Fabric Mart in Sinking Springs (Reading). Seriously...Dianne, it would be worth the drive from Gaithersburg - esp. if you want to get some nice apparel fabric. I've been in person and walked out with $110 spent and TWO kitchen garbage bag-size bags full of fabric. I love their stuff - order from them online a lot!

Ok you enabler you I guess I'll head to reading on my next day off about an hour away too so I hope it's worth it. Wow make that 2 hours I might have to rethink.

My inlaws live right near the one in Lemoyne - it's decent, what they have varies - I try to get there when we are in PA. The one you need to visit is Fabric Mart in Sinking Springs (Reading). Seriously...Dianne, it would be worth the drive from Gaithersburg - esp. if you want to get some nice apparel fabric. I've been in person and walked out with $110 spent and TWO kitchen garbage bag-size bags full of fabric. I love their stuff - order from them online a lot!

Sandi- you are costing a fortune! Yesterday I ordered Ottobre magazine and today I am planning a trip to the outlet! One of my best friends and I frequently do "Monday field trips". We plan an outing and leave right after the kids go to school. Reading might be a bit far for one of our Monday outings because we have to be home in time to pick up from school at 2:40. But I am going to see if we can possible squeeze it in. I just got that Burda pattern to make myself a new dress and it would be nice to get the fabric for it at a bargain price! I am going to check their website right now.

Yes, Sandi is definitely helping us find some nice fabric today!
