Disboutiquers Part 12 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[Tracie]

More info on Wal-Mart fabric depts closings. We are having a mini remodel (to start selling beer and wine) So a set up guy is here. I ask him about the closings and he stated "To keep fabric the dept has to do 3% of the stores total sales". That's a tall order for a fabric & crafts dept. He said some stores in Utah will be keeping fabric.

The head of the fabric dept at one of our stores was told 1% of total store sales. Looks like different areas have different requirements. That's the one on Galena in Aurora for those of you in IL.

Shannon and Beth
thank you so much for lifting my spirit with your kind words you have me crying, it is good to know that some people care....

Shannon I am embarrassed to say that that is one of the easiest dress, mostly rectangle shapes I was going to post how to make it but felt bad as you all know how "little talent" I have ....you cut the dress right in the fabric just using measurement
I will try to post it soon

Once again thank you so much

LITTLE TALENT? Um... no. It takes great brain power and skill to know exactly what the measurements should be and exactly where to cut. THAT is talent! I can follow someone's directions when they tell me where/what to cut. But to figure it out on my own? Not generally! Don't underestimate yourself!

I asked at my fabric section today. I was told that they have not been told that our fabric department is leaving and they hope that it doesn't. I noticed that they were painting the building, so I got nervous! I was afraid it was part of the renovations that have been discussed. I think I'm safe - at least for a while.

Linnette,

I am sorry you have been depressed so much lately. How is the toothache doing? Did you get to see a dentist? I sent a few PM's but know you were not feeling well.

I love, love, love the dresses! Are they Linnette orginals? They are beautiful and I love the shirring in the back. You are so talented. Write soon.

This is only my second post in the disboutiquers board. I completed 2 more dresses for my DD3 over the weekend. Nothing spectacular but will be nice and cool for her to wear in WDW in May and August. I also went shopping for more Disney fabric this weekend and had some good finds at Hancock fabrics.

That is really very very cute. I want to CASE the shirt design if you don't mind for my Sept trip. I love that it is clean and pretty.

Very cute, but
we need much bigger pictures. My eyes can't handle this. Especially on the little laptop screen.

I will remember that for next time. I was worried about taking up too much space. I won't hold back with the next dress

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I finally finished Marenna's Big Give piglet vida and hat! I have to say I really enjoyed all the pinkness and ruffles! And I even have a model the right size! I swear the ruffles aren't as wonky as they look in the pictures. The back ruffles are supposed to remind you of Piglet's shirt

and one more, just to make sure we have too much Lilys!

I am just catching up and wanted to say this is wonderful! Great job.

Hello were back! We had a great time but it went way to fast and did not get everything done! We did end up joining the Disney vacation club so we will have more chances to get things done. I would not suggest to ever go with a big group! We had 11 people 2 familys that could not get on the same page if you know what I mean. I think I cried due to stress and frustration 3 times! Not my idea of a magical trip but all in all it was great! I Think all the stuff made since we have been gone is really cute I love the villain Cinderella set! Well if you would like to see some of our pictures please feel free....

I am sorry that the stress level got so high. Traveling with other than your immediate family can be hard.

I also own a DVC and love it, "welcome home" don't forget to read the DVC section here on the dis.

I would love to see the villain outfits please post all the clothes you made!

Hi Linnette!

I don't post on this thread a lot but read it religiously and I help with the big gives (non-sewing projects) and I just had to post and say that you are one of the most talented and creative seamstresses on here! I am sorry you are having a hard time but wanted you to know that I think all of your creations and your generosity with the big gives are fabulous!

to you! Jen

First Question...back sometime ago someone had posted a picture of a crown for appliquing...it was the cute one some were using on the pink halter tops...Anyone remember? If I could I would like that.

Second, I had posted maybe a week ago about doing a reusable grocery bag swap...and wondered if there would be any interest, I did have a couple say they were, but would like to get more people, I think it would be interesting to see what others come up with for the swap.
Would be one of those "you make X # of bags you get the same amount back.
Just let me know, I do have a couple of tutorials that I posted that we could use. :

Thanks everyone...have a great evening...BTW...I am so excited...we changed our ressies for FREE DINING!

Where are you staying? What changed? I did see the crown in the pattern section on the first page with the bookmarks. You are going to WDW about the same time we are.

We are doing a split stay between CSR and BCV.
