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

Is it every design for the 6x10 hoop or just one?
I have no real idea how the hoops work or how it knows what size you have, but are there any sort of connectors or something that you could clean? Could you try taking an eraser and cleaning the metal clamp parts of the hoop and where you hook them up? (again, I have NO idea if that makes any difference!!! Just a thought that jumped into my head!)

Its every design, and I think I broke something. I found a tiny piece of plastic on the floor with what looks like a computer sensor of some sort. It has to be it, there isn't anything else it could have come from. I wasn't rough with it, and didn't hear anything snap, but I broke it I think. Well, I'll try to get as much work done tomorrow, and bring it in on Tuesday, and hope for the best.
 
I don't know why but I am so excited to meet a fellow Missourian on the DIS boards. Awesome! Anyways, it's super cool she gets to do that. She must be very proud.

I've been looking into getting more involved in our local Make A Wish chapter.

She loves meeting new people and she really likes having a website and having me tell people about her. I think she is going to make a difference with her life!
 
I did get some Snow White (for a project for a friend) and they also had Brave fabric -- but I didn't buy any of that. Just had never seen Brave before.

I have three hat tuts but his one is my favorite and IMO has the best fit for a child:

The hat is reversible so you can do different fabrics on the inside.


For T-shirts my favorites for girls are Target and Old Navy. Walmart also has some that are a little thinner and I did use one and the applique looks nice and it's washed well and held up and they are only $3.47 (?) so you can't beat the price. I also ordered from this site to get these ruffled t's:
http://www.rockbottomt-shirts.com/Girls/Girls-T-Shirts-Double-Ruffle-p67.html
I was going to suggest unplugging it like Teresa did. Sorry, I'm of no help.

I'm excited to hear that Heather is working on bald princesses -- I hope never to need them for my personal use, but they would be awesome for BG's! As would any Wish Trip designs (hint, hint!).

That's wonderful that she sees herself as the beauty she is! My dd saw her picture yesterday and really couldn't grasp Tori having no hair. It gave me the opportunity to teach her a bit about chemotherapy, but sadly I just don't think my dd can relate to something she hasn't actually seen in real life. The only person we know that had chemo was my dad, but my dd knows guys can go bald so thought nothing of it. My dd loved Tori's outfits though!

Thank you for all the help and the comments. I am amazed how good kids do with her being bald, wearing masks, etc. I always try to explain to them what is going on. A lot of times they are just curious. Tori has now learned the explanations and can say, "When my fighters go in, they get hungry and go and fight my tumors. But sometimes they eat things they aren't supposed to! Like my hair!" Or "I take medicine that can make it easy for me to get sick, so I wear a mask in case someone sneezes on me!"

I think there is going to be more acceptance soon. Do you know Bratz is selling a line of bald dolls this summer? I am going to get some to give to the daycare and to Tori's class if she can go back to school in the fall.

Has anyone seen a good pattern for a "do-rag" type of bandana? Tori has two of them that look really good, but they seem complicated for me to try to take apart and recreate for the biker outfit. (And they don't match colorwise or I'd just have her wear that!) Also, does "Tangled" fabric exist? I have been reading old threads and saw some. Also, onesie dresses? Anyone have a favorite pattern?

I know. There are no dumb questions, but I will try to quit asking so many questions one day!!!!

Tangled fabric exists - I got some from Joanns (not sure when).

I want that Brave fabric, but I am trying to stay away from Joann's for a little while.
 
Thanks Flora, they had a really wonderful time. Barbara was put on a new medication after our trip and it really made her very sick, so we are glad we were able to go when we did. They gave her some medication to help, but after she took the medication and got so sick, she seems to be afraid to take it again. And, she really needs to take it.

I don't remember a Wish design, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have one. I have a hard time remembering everything she does! She's been working on a bald princess line, so if anyone needs those for a Give, they can let her (or me) know.

I am sorry to hear that Barbara is having such a bad reaction to the new medication. I saw the pictures via the links you posted and I am truly glad that her family was able to go on such a special trip and to be able to share that experience with you and Heather's families. I hope there will be less side effects from the new meds the next time she takes them. It is unforunate that meds that are supposed to help are making her sick!

Please tell Heather that I would LOVE to see blad princesses and wish trip design(s). I guess I have to battle it out with Andrea to see who gets to use them on BG's :rotfl:

Thanks! I would love bald princesses and a wish trip design! Tori is such an inspiration to me in that she sees herself as beautiful with her bald head. She is such a pretty girl, that sometimes it is hard for me to see other people look at her with..pity? I guess. From the time she was little, everyone always stopped me and said how cute she was, and now, they just look sad.

But Tori, she prances around with her bald head, models for me and says how pretty she looks. She is such an inspiration to me. It makes me cry.:sad:

Thanks so much for sharing how brave and beautiful Tori is. Just reading your description of her makes ME cry! You should be very proud of yourself to have raised such an amazing young woman. Very often, the family members deserves the praise just as much as the person going through the battle. I want to make sure that you get recongized for what you do every day.

I just did a quick google search and I found this pattern for a do-rag bandana.

Its every design, and I think I broke something. I found a tiny piece of plastic on the floor with what looks like a computer sensor of some sort. It has to be it, there isn't anything else it could have come from. I wasn't rough with it, and didn't hear anything snap, but I broke it I think.

Oh no! I am sorry that you may have to take your machine in for service. Mind you, I have had numerous plastic bits came off my Brother machines and I hadn't had many problems with the missing parts. Hopefully a nice afternoon off for the machine will do the trick.

Andrea: I lost your quote but thanks for posting the links to the sunhats. I had to laugh when you said one of the patterns was too big for a child and it would fit you. You see, I have a small head and adult-sized hats don't fit me! Finding a sunhat can be a nightmare for me (though I suppose I COULD wear a kid-sized Minnie mouse sunhat from the parks).


As some of you know, I met with one of our recent Big Give families last week. They are such a lovely family and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to meet them. I would like to share the items I made for this family.

With the Tink jacket it really makes me want to try sewing fleece.

I want that Brave fabric, but I am trying to stay away from Joann's for a little while.

But now is the time to buy the Brave fabric -- it's 40% off and then you get either 10 or 20% off on top of that (military is 20%). Not that I'm trying to enable you or anything. However, if you do need to make room for some more fabric I am willing to come shopping at your house when we have the Dismeet. I think Marianne might need to make that one of the stops on the shopping extravaganza field trip :rotfl2:

Yes, there may be a battle! We can take turns doing the outfits. All the hats I've made are for chemo Wish Kids so those designs would be well utilized by us!

And it was the Martha Stewart child hat that fit me, albeit not perfect, but likely too big for a child. Any of them would work for you if you just adjust according to size. They go together quickly.

I love all your BG items. I know I commented on the BG but I have to say again that I need to get my hands on the adult pattern -- one of these days -- too busy right now with teacher's gifts and helping Amy out before her big trip.

We did just get a brand new fabric and yarn store in Sanford, but I'm about 2.5 hours from Charlotte.

I always get 15% off at Joann's thanks to their teacher discount program. I am sure I will get there next weekend, though.

I have been furiously cutting fabric this afternoon and I have accumulated a major pile of garments to sew. So far, I have 3 matching Mickey print camp shirts for my sons (and about to add one for DH to that), a knit shirt for Jamie, shorts for Benjamin, a skort for Gracie (matching brother-sister zoo outfits), a halter dress (beach theme), ruffle back shorts, some doll clothes from left-over fabric, and an ice cream theme sun top and ruffle shorts outfit for Gracie. I have a couple more things on my list to cut out before I start sewing. I like to assembly-line my stuff based on what thread I load in the serger.

A lot of times they are just curious. Tori has now learned the explanations and can say, "When my fighters go in, they get hungry and go and fight my tumors.

Have you ever thought about trying to write a childrens book with Tori? Maybe amied at younger children - 1st grade and younger?

My DBB just graduated Kindergarten and he understands quite a few things that most 5 year olds don't (Adoption for one) all due to the books his preschool teachers and kindergarten teach read to him. It would be really cool for there one to be out there about chemotherapy. She could write it in her own words so that other kids would understand.
 
Oh yeah, and I keep seeing everyone mention Joanns having a huge sale this weekend. I know there is only tomorrow left but if anyone has a Hancock near them they are also having a huge sale untill tomorrow. Pretty much everything it on sale. I know they are a national chain so I would see if there was one near you.

I liked the Joanns sale but the hancock sale had ALOT more products on sale. They also give 20% off everyday with military IDs
 
I used to post on here a long time ago but have been lurking for the longest time. I love all the wonderful stuff that everyone creates and this is my favorite thread! I got an embroidery machine last year for my birthday and have loved digitalizing designs. Here is two things of many that I have created for our upcoming trip...

My dd's yeti purse

My bookbag to carry all my disney stuff in the parks..
th_SAM_1498.jpg


I created the embroidery designs and I can't wait to use them in 11 days!

Impressive that you created the embroidery designs. I love the Yeti purse and backpack.


Hmmm, grass stained hooves, that rings a bell! Were you referring to these?
th_MitchellsGiveShirtBack.jpg

Those are so cute! I bet they were very comfortable, too. Great job.


Quit giving out security info! Next time I see you it will probably be on the national news as you are taken away in shackles for leaking top secret data. Next thing you're going to tell me is that the Navy ships aren't yellow!

If I'm not mistaken (a very rare occurrence) you said your love of The Beatles inspired you to create a themed family room and you stenciled We ALL Live in a Yellow Submainre on one of the walls.



Here is another one of my scrap creations. The Hawaiian print started out as one of my t-shirts and so did the orange part of the dress. They both got little holes in them but there was a lot of good fabric left. The hot pink fabric was a nightie of mine that shrank up to be too small the first time I wore it. I only used about 1/2 of it on this dress so I will have some left for something else soon.

That turned out great and it looks like it would be soft and comfy.

ETA: Sorry for the photo overload. I didn't realize I had so many!

I love the Tink jacket. Great collection of things!


The trip was wonderful! Someone donated a stay at AKL for David and Barbara. Barbara absolutely LOVED it there! She is a very reserved person, but when she talks about AKL, her face lights up and she get very animated!!! She woke up every day at 6:30AM just so she could sit out on their balcony and watch them feed the animals. :love:

Someone also donated a photo session with Randy Chapman, so we had a lot of fun with him for an afternoon! I can't wait to see those pictures!!!

I don't have all of our trip pictures up, but most of them, and all from when Barbara was there.

The photos are geat. I love the Hope T-shirts with the Mickey ears. Glad everyone had a good time.



I think it looks great!!!!

absolutely gorgeous I love it.

Thanks. I made it after he graduated from HS for a queen size bed and it was harder to find 20 shirts than I originally thought, so I used backs for some. The other thing I quickly realized if that the T-shirt designs are often close to the neckline so I couldn't center some of the designs as I would have liked because the neck got in the way.
 
So, I hit Joann's Friday and today for the sale. I spent more than I wanted on Friday but got some awesome fabric that I paid full price for but I got to pull it from the "new" cart and it was still in plastic (not my pic). Can't wait to use it. (background is not green, it is cream.

tumblr_m4ngbbBwVN1r45vxxo1_500.jpg


I also bought my limit of Simplicity patterns, half of which to send to my friend in Australia along with some more Tiana fabric.

I hit two shops that were new to me today. I vowed to only buy clearance and remnants. At the first shop I was sticking to my goal until I went searching for a specific colored knit and while I went down an aisle to get my fabric cut I spied the Snow White fabric that I had been eyeing online and bought 3 yards. They had the fleece too but I thought she looked funny on it.

At the second store today, I stayed with my vow to only buy clearance and to spend no more than $25. That worked until I directed my daughter to find a costume for Halloween and while she was trying to decide the one she liked most, I bought a few more for me.

So now I have more than enough fabric to make many things with, I will just need some solids to break up the busy.
 
Tangled fabric exists - I got some from Joanns (not sure when).

I want that Brave fabric, but I am trying to stay away from Joann's for a little while.

I just saw the Brave fabric when we went to Joanns. I got a few tshirts. They are 4 for 10 dollars and I got 20% on top of that. I didn't get the Brave fabric, even though it was on sale. I've already spent enough!!

Thanks so much for sharing how brave and beautiful Tori is. Just reading your description of her makes ME cry! You should be very proud of yourself to have raised such an amazing young woman.

It would be really cool for there one to be out there about chemotherapy. She could write it in her own words so that other kids would understand.

I wrote a story for Tori when she first started chemotherapy. Mouse is her nickname. This is my second Mouse story..the first was "Mouse gets adopted" because I couldn't find an adoption book that was adoption from foster care, when the family had fostered the child for awhile. So I wrote that for her, and then I wrote Mouse gets Chemo..

http://www.torigaga.com/2012/04/story-for-my-mouse.html

Question:I'm making a pair of easy fit pants, and I don't have enough fabric to cut it in the fold for one leg. Can I sew two pieces together to create a "fold" or will that mess it up?

I was waiting until tomorrow to hit Hancock's because their really good deals are tomorrow only. Our Hancock's does not do a military discount every day. It does one ONCE per month and it's 15%. I sure wish ours did one every day!

If I'm not mistaken (a very rare occurrence) you said your love of The Beatles inspired you to create a themed family room and you stenciled We ALL Live in a Yellow Submainre on one of the walls.
Would you like me to take some photos for you? I'm sure you will hallucinate and actually see some yellow submarines.

Did you pay full price for the Brave fabric -- all the licensed stuff went on sale today. Our store had it too but I had no need for it. I did get the SW though for something I'm making for someone. I would have had a lot more fun at Joann's were it not for our upcoming loss of rental income. It's going to be an icky summer for us.

Question:I'm making a pair of easy fit pants, and I don't have enough fabric to cut it in the fold for one leg. Can I sew two pieces together to create a "fold" or will that mess it up?

I think it would work fine -- it would just give you a seam up the side so I would do the same with the other leg to make it match. And I say "think" because I've never actually done it.

Watch Michaels and AC Moore for t sales too -- last week Michaels had them 5 for $10 (equates to the same as you got them for at Joann's but just letting you know for future reference).
 
After looking at many mermaid patterns and cutting out a skirt pattern - I tossed them all away and went with my own idea. This is out of scraps just to see if it will look right - I'll add tulle to the real one once I buy the green scale fabric. I'm getting excited to start work on the real one for me and one for my friend!

I think my husband is going to put a freeze on me going to joannes or walmart and take away my ccard

I got quite the haul of stuff at both places. Been sewing less than a month and the fabric hoarding has begun:rotfl: (dont even ask about my stashes of counted cross stitch, scrapbooking and polymer clay stuff)

Fabric in the wash but I got stuff to make jessie inspired dress / top for the girls, Cars fabric to try making shorts for DS, fairy fabric for a dress for little DD, minnie dot, black and yellow to make dress/top for the girls, and some thread and assorted notions at joannes. Then I went to walmart..and found Hot wheels fabric in the clearance bin for DS, also polkadot fabrics for DD9, and then we found the long sought after ariel fabric for DD4...
ETA: I almost forgot...I also found grey Minnie and Mickey t shirts for the girls for $3!! DD9 will wear hers as is but DD4 wont wear pants because of her sensory stuff..so I am going to try adding minnie dot fabric ruffle to the bottom to make it long enough for a dress...I got the top a size large, so about 5 inches of ruffle should do it...

I think I have a problem :rotfl:
 
I am sorry to hear that Barbara is having such a bad reaction to the new medication. I saw the pictures via the links you posted and I am truly glad that her family was able to go on such a special trip and to be able to share that experience with you and Heather's families. I hope there will be less side effects from the new meds the next time she takes them. It is unforunate that meds that are supposed to help are making her sick!

Please tell Heather that I would LOVE to see blad princesses and wish trip design(s). I guess I have to battle it out with Andrea to see who gets to use them on BG's :rotfl:

Thank you, we really had a wonderful vacation together. I love Barbara like a sister and her girls almost as much as my own babies. And, David of course, I love like a brother too!! LOL! :rotfl2: Thank you for helping make the trip happen. Everyone's support with the auction was just so wonderful. They couldn't have gone without everyone's help. :love:

I sent Heather an email asking for the bald princess files and asking about the Wish design. Her husband is sick right now, so I doubt she'll be checking emails much for a day or two.



Hello! I used to post on this thread way back in 2007/2008, but since I don't have kids of my own, Disney customs aren't that fun!
Not that I haven't made my own Giselle dress in the past. :rolleyes1

Anyway, the staff of the preschool ministry at my church like to do coordinated costumes for our fall festival.
I think one of the women would be a perfect Ariel and she said she'd wear the costume if I make it. :scared: That means that someone would see the INSIDE of one of my creations! :eek:

Needless to say, I'm petrified, but I can do it.

What's the best adult mermaid pattern out there? Any tips you can offer?

This is out of scraps just to see if it will look right - I'll add tulle to the real one once I buy the green scale fabric. I'm getting excited to start work on the real one for me and one for my friend!

:wave: Hi! I remember you! I like your mermaid so far!!! It's looking good!
 
Also, does "Tangled" fabric exist? I have been reading old threads and saw some. Also, onesie dresses? Anyone have a favorite pattern?

I know. There are no dumb questions, but I will try to quit asking so many questions one day!!!!

yes, Tangled fabric Exists. I made an outfit with what I got. I bought it at Joann's also.

Question:I'm making a pair of easy fit pants, and I don't have enough fabric to cut it in the fold for one leg. Can I sew two pieces together to create a "fold" or will that mess it up?

I would make them wider than I need them to be because you nee to allow for a seam in the measurement and I would make both legs the same way.
