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

[cogero]

Thanks for the comments on my shorts and shirts Andrea did!! DH told me to go ahead and order myself an Embroidery machine for my Birthday (april 15th)...... We waited and have not had much to time to "comparison shop" with Allison being sick. The only 2 I have played with are Andrea's (Brother PE 770??) and a $3000 at the local Sew n Vac. Would love input from anyone that has anything different.

I may wait a bit longer as my kitchen sorta flooded under the sink, it caused damage all the way to the subflooring and ruined our lower cabinets. We have to replace all that and FAST!! It has already started to grow mold. Don't know how long it's been happening, but I think it explains why Jonathon's asthma is worst when he is home and not school!

As usual there is way to much to quote... everything is fabulous!!
Happy sewing!

Amy I would probably go with the 770 unless you have to have a 6 x 10 hoop. I have a Brother Duetta and although I love it I tend to use my 770 more than the Duetta for embroidery.

Chiara - did you find something unique to inspire you yet?
.

I have lots of ideas and lovely fabric but no time

It's been a busy night...

and I have two more larger pairs of the Mickey shorts almost done as well!

Great job these are awesome.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time. I'm having my tonsils removed in a couple of weeks, and if having your thyroid removed is anything like getting the tonsils out, it'll be a rough recovery. I've been told it's basically a two week recovery, with days 5-7 being the worst. The diet you're eating sounds just about right, too, unfortunately. I keep hearing how awful getting your tonsils removed as an adult is, and yet it's outpatient surgery so if you spent time in the hospital, I'd expect you to be in worse shape at this point. Hang in there, it'll get better!

When I had my palette surgery ice cream was my best friend. Most people lose weight after the surgery. I gained 5 pounds. And mine should have been an overnight stay as everything I read about it said so, but no, as soon as I used the loo I was shipped out the door.

OK a little off topic here.....
A few months ago I mentioned that my DD was expecting her first baby. I have to send a huge thank you to SallyfromDE for my pinterest invite because I took the beautiful ideas and planned Rachel's shower. Anyway, I stopped posting because Rachel is on the boards and the shower was a surprise, I don't know how planning a party consumed my life but it did. I had nothing to post because what little I was sewing was for the party. Now that it's over I can share the pictures with you.

The shower was held at my Mom's house, Rachel thought we were going to work around Grandmoms house and then have dinner for my nephews6th birthday. We stopped on the way at the dollar store and bought 10 birthday balloons and I made sure I was busy so she had to carry them! She walked in with all the balloons and everyone yelled surprise! She never saw it coming

It was a great day, thanks for letting me share it with you.

Wow! I can see how that was all consuming! What a beautiful and detailed job you did! I'm highly impressed And I love how your Mom's blue walls coordinate with the shower's theme colors! Fabulous job on the clothes as well.

Have you ever tried sock curls?

http://aspottedpony.com/for-moms/how-to-use-a-sock-to-get-beautiful-curly-hair-without-heat/1517/

I never have -- I was going to use pink sponge rollers for dd but couldn't find them -- I must have thrown them out since I never use them anymore. I did hairspray in her hair before rolling with the hot rollers and it held a little better, but not grand. I don't understand why my dd's hair doesn't hold a curl. It was curly as a child and is wavy now.

They turned out great. And I'm not just saying that because I'm related (distantly through marriage) to a former Yankees player.

I love the pirate skirt and top. I priced the coins at Joann one time after $eeing them on another of your creation$ and let'$ ju$t $ay Ginger won't be wearing them anytime soon.

Look what was on my first meal tray. I forgot to tell them 1. I don't like soda, and even if I did 2. I'm not a cannibal.

But it sure is a cute little can. Le'ts see, burp cloths, bibs, ruffle diaper covers . . .

Thanks for sending good thoughts. I've definitely lost weight.

I just knew you were famous!

I got the coins at Walmart, so possibly cheaper than Joann's. For the BG I did I split one package between two skirts but for dd I did the entire package and made them hang longer. I am letting her wear the outfit to school today so she can drive her teacher nuts with the jingling

Ginger had another baby???!!!! Gosh that girl gets around!

Ice cream, my dear, is the key to gaining weight after oral surgery. I speak from experience. And I think soft foods are easier because they go down slower.

O

There was a big thread on the Disbout Facebook page about some new Snow White fabric at JoAnn's. Those of you not on FB might want to check it out here. Very cute fabric for ruffles on just about anything. I picked up a couple yards yesterday.

Regards,
C.

Our Joann's actually has that fabric! They have nothing else new -- ever! But they have that one.

It's been a busy night...

and I have two more larger pairs of the Mickey shorts almost done as well!

Fabulous as usual!

Everything looks amazing! Congratulations again!!! I just can't believe everything you made - I cannot pick a favorite!

But it sure is a cute little can. Le'ts see, burp cloths, bibs, ruffle diaper covers . . .

That girl does get around! I cannot wait to see everything you create for Lil' Ginger!

Good Morninge everyone! I was wondering someone could point me in the right direction, whether by reply or pm or carrier pigeon.....

I seen a design on a shirt a while back, ( I can't find it to save my life now) I wondered if you all would be able to fill me in on where it could be found.

I have a hair bow that the design is on ( it's a mickey head with santa head) could I post that picture of the bow? Or is that breaking the rules here? If it's ok, I won't be able to post until later this afternoon. Thanks!

You can post a pic -- it's allowed. FrouFrou by HeatherSue has this Mickey Head:
http://froufroubyheathersue.com/#ecwid:mode=product&product=5052855

And Bows and CLothes has a more detailed Mickey face with Santa hat (I believe -- not 100% certain though).

 

[VBAndrea]

Here are just a few pics from the play. The Wicked Witch and Tin Man are tall 5th graders. Lion is a 4th grader -- I made his mane and did his makeup (much to his protest!). And one pic with me in it and one of Alexa wearing Daddy's cap. And this concludes the Dorothy series -- I won't bore you all with any more photos. The play went great and all the kids did super -- I don't think a single child missed any lines.

 

[DMGeurts]

Andrea - I'll say it again - I loved the pictures! And I especially love the picture of Lil' Miss A. wearing her Daddy's cap... Melts my heart. Thanks for sharing with us.

D~

 

[RMAMom]

Andrea~ It looks like the play was a huge success! I love that first picture of Alexa, she looks so proud!

Thanks everyone for your kind words and thought about Rachel's shower. Now we wait until August for the baby.

Cheryl ~ I hope your feeling better.

Sandi, as usual your stuff looks great! You sew so quickly! I am not a slow poke sewer but you run rings around me.

Go ahead and post a picture. We'll see if we know who made the matching design. I agree with Andrea that it might very well be Heather Sue.

Andrea what awesome photos! I am sure that the play was absolutely wonderful! Alexa looks adorable and I am sure you were incredible proud of her.


Mary- I didn't grab your pictures but I love all your ideas from pinterest that you put to such great use at the shower. Everything is adorable. I love baby's first Disney outfits too.

This is the week for surgery. I am having some minor surgery in the morning. I will probably only be out of the loop for tomorrow. But I am sure that will mean that I will have pages and pages of beautiful things to see when I get back in here.

 

[aboveH20]

Sheryl...I hope your recooperation goes better
the nurses really will think you r crazy if you bring Ginger in there all dressed up.

Thanks. I can tell I'm stronger, just can't talk or drink liquids yet.

Glad to see that you are up for a little more posting today. That means you must feel a little bit better. I hope you will be able to visit your son in California soon!

Thanks. I'm hanging in. My older son has said he'll do one more year in NYC and then move to LA, so could be interesting.

Well Cheryl I am very happy to hear you are not a cannibal.

Glad it comes across that way

Hope you are making progress everyday. I read further and saw your comments, glad you are to a soft diet. Those are MUCH easier to swallow than liquids. Allison just did Pediasure.... She was so over it!! She won't touch it right now! I think everyones situation is unique and offers it's own struggles...never to be compared to another!

I gagged so much on Ensure that I decided to give my throat a break, BUT since I had 11 more cans of it I tried using it to make instant vanilla pudding -- 8 oz Ensure and 8 oz milk. It came out as a thick milkshake, which was easier to swallow than just the Ensure.

Bwa ha ha ha at your sewing list for "the little one"! Glad you are able to eat some today. FX you have turned a corner and will be back to your old self in no time.

Sunshine

Thanks. I had macaroni and cheese for dinner. wooo hooo. I'd still love something cold to drink. I tried sucking on ice chips, but when the water melts and trickles down my throat I start to gag.

It's been a busy night...

and I have two more larger pairs of the Mickey shorts almost done as well!

They look great.

I got the coins at Walmart, so possibly cheaper than Joann's. For the BG I did I split one package between two skirts but for dd I did the entire package and made them hang longer. I am letting her wear the outfit to school today so she can drive her teacher nuts with the jingling

Sorta like I used to get my sons fancy pencils, novelty erasers, etc. until I started substituting and saw what a major distraction they were.

Ice cream, my dear, is the key to gaining weight after oral surgery. I speak from experience. And I think soft foods are easier because they go down slower.

I tried it in the hospital but it melted too soon and became a liquid which I choked on. I think I could now swallow it before it melted. I think my husband's going to get some Italian ice afer his meeting tonight.

That girl does get around! I cannot wait to see everything you create for Lil' Ginger!

D~

<----- eat as much as you want, I can't have any

Here are just a few pics from the play. The Wicked Witch and Tin Man are tall 5th graders. Lion is a 4th grader -- I made his mane and did his makeup (much to his protest!). And one pic with me in it and one of Alexa wearing Daddy's cap. And this concludes the Dorothy series -- I won't bore you all with any more photos. The play went great and all the kids did super -- I don't think a single child missed any lines.

Dorothy looks spot on. The photos are great I miss the days of helping at school. Don't miss the days substituting, but do miss helping in my sons' classes.



I KNOW I grabbed your shower photos, at least once, but dis kept wanting me to log in. I love all the decorations. I assume they go home with Mom to be hung in Jrs. room? I'm curious what's in the baby food bottles -- looks like they were used as favors? Especially now that I have a fresh stock of them -- although my husband's eyeing them for screws, etc. on his peg board

Cheryl ~ I hope your feeling better.

I am. I took off my steri-strips today. My sister was the nurse, not me. I took off four on the hour for four hours -- it took me that long to recover after each set.

<-----another one for emphasis

This is the week for surgery. I am having some minor surgery in the morning. I will probably only be out of the loop for tomorrow. But I am sure that will mean that I will have pages and pages of beautiful things to see when I get back in here.

I have now decided that no surgery is minor, so best of luck to you.

I would look long and hard at what you plan to do with an embroidery machine before spending the money. Not knowing the specs of the $3000 machine, it is hard to make a suggestion.

Sorry to hear about the flood! I hope you can get it fixed and have things repaired as soon as possible.

It's been a busy night...

and I have two more larger pairs of the Mickey shorts almost done as well!

Great job like usual. I am in awe of your sewing speed!

My guess is that it is a design from Frou Frou by Heather Sue.

I am glad to hear that the play went well and thank you for sharing the pictures. I am sure you are so proud of your DD! It's nice to see a picture of you as well!

This is the week for surgery. I am having some minor surgery in the morning. I will probably only be out of the loop for tomorrow. But I am sure that will mean that I will have pages and pages of beautiful things to see when I get back in here.

Even minor surgery is still surgery. I hope you will have a smooth and quick recovery!

Thanks. I had macaroni and cheese for dinner. wooo hooo. I'd still love something cold to drink. I tried sucking on ice chips, but when the water melts and trickles down my throat I start to gag.

I hope you will continue to feel better each day! I am sure Mac and Cheese is gourmet food after Ensure!

Ouch! I hate removing anything stuck to my skin! When I had my c-section with my daughter, they put what looked like the world's largest bandaid over the incision and had me peel it off in the shower a couple of days later. I was just so darn glad someone was holding on to me when I did it because that was some scary stuff!


I finished up the boy-wear after dinner and got the little monsters to model for me (and my new camera, a Nikon D3100, came - happy Mother's Day to me!)

Time to dig through the fabric and decide on my next endeavor!

Thanks! I hope this helps. This is the bow that's being made for my DD. I saw a shirt that had the same design as the resin piece. And the shirt had the option to have a name or MVMCP on it.
Thanks for all your input!

 

[Mouse7116]

Thank you for all the replies regarding hoop size and machine preference. I would have been here sooner but I was trying to catch up on the thread from the beginning of this one. Goodness you ladies are talented!

I believe that DH has resigned himself that I am going to go forward with this and while it is not totally in the budget right now, I have some time to do more research and save my pennies.

In the meantime I thought I would share a few pictures of my work just for a little more eye candy on this thread.

This is a block from a quilt I made for a dear friend of mine that I haven't quilted yet because I have an error somewhere as the top is not squaring up correctly.

This is a table topper a friend and I redrafted from an antique block we saw at a quilt show.

Lastly

This is a baby quilt a friend and I designed around the fabric (the cream and the brown border). Her favorite color is brown and she was expecting a girl.

Happy sewing everyone!

Love the quilt and table runner. some day I will attempt quilting.

[babynala]

I have been away from the boards in what feels like forever. There are WAY too many great things to post about. I have about 3 TRs that I need to catch up on. I don't think I've even read one word about Chiara's spring break trip.

Cheryl - I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better and I hope you get a nice cold drink soon.

I have not been sewing too much but I need to change my ways and just started working on a messenger bag that I can use on some upcoming trips. I have to change a few things so I can fit my camera in it.

Tomorrow after school I am having the 4 girls in my DD's Girl Scout troop over to work on their sewing badge. I might have to find a few YouTube videos of hand sewing since I HATE to hand sew. I guess I better get cleaning my sewing space so they can actually have something to work with.

 

[Piper]

Way back in the dark ages when I was a Girl Scout leader, my whole troop made skirts for that badge. We had a district campout where we were singing, so they made the skirt for their costumes. They used the machine to sew the sides and top(for the elastic.) Hand sewed the hem. The sewing in the hem was so cute--it would be neat, messy, neat, messy. We had 6 sewing machines and moms to supervise. The moms were really good about letting the girls do the actual work. It took 2 meetings to finish them, but the girls were very proud of their work!

 

[pyrxtc]

Well, did you end up winning the other lot??? Congrats on the Peter Pan lot though! Can't wait to see what else was in there.

Sunshine

I lost the other lot. I went to baseball and got distracted with the kids and forgot to bid higher before it ended.

It's been a busy night...

and I have two more larger pairs of the Mickey shorts almost done as well!

Love that fabric. Greta job, I haven't attempted shorts yet. Should put that on my list.

great job on the quilts ! I don't know if I could do that, I'm having too much fun sewing little girl clothes right now.

Bog looks awesome ! I would love to make one of those. Is the embroidery all thread ? I can't imagine how much time that takes. Do you do it on another piece of fabric and then divide it onto your bag like that ?

So, since I fixed my Mother's machine I have been busy.

My Tiana dress

My circus dress, I saw this fabric and knew I had to do something completely crazy and out there with it for a dress. I got this pattern at a clearance center with the big bow and poufy sleeves.

front

back

I like the bow better in the back than in the front where the pattern says to put it.

Love my Planter's Peanuts fabric from my Aunt.

On to the next pattern, it had a shirt, pants, dress, and kerchief.... I went with Tangled for my theme.

WOW... I still can't believe how quick you caught onto sewing. It looks like you have been sewing for years. Everything is just adorable.
