    Disboutiquers Part 19 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

    I wish I had a sewing table with drawers and places for thread like that. My machine sits on an old library table. No storage for anything. I would love to have that!

    Disboutiquers Part 19 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

    I agree. I've bought a lot of designs that haven't stitched out real good. I just started doing embroidery a year ago so I still have a lot to learn but every time I stitch one of Heather Sue's designs they always turn out perfect. And they WASH and look perfect wash after wash after wash. I...

    Disboutiquers Part 19 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

    I have been lurking and posting on and off for about two years now. We finally took our first trip to Disney in December (the 12-20th). I hope you don't mind me sharing a bit about our trip and some pictures of the clothes I made for my daughter? I had planned to post pictures right away...

    I don't know what I'd do if the Wal-Mart here stopped carrying fabric. The closest fabric store would be an hour away! eek. I'm glad that you were able to get some deals though! I have a border hoop, I think it is called for my machine? I just got it for Christmas from my husband. I haven't used...

    It's possible that you might have knocked the machine out of wack (alignment) when you hit the pin. I had the exact same thing happen to me in October. I have a Brother 4000D, which is similar, I think to the Babylock sewing/embroidery machines. Here's the things I tried: I turned the...

    Hey! I'm glad the two of you had a great time!! It was really neat meeting you and Heather Sue at the entrace of DHS on Monday! I was a little star struck meeting two famous disser's! I used several of Heather Sue's embroidery designs on the customs that I was able to finish before our trip and...

    Granna-I don't have that serger but I did start with an entry level serger and then traded up (the shop I bought at gave me three months of using the first serger to decide if I wanted to trade up). I have a Huskylock. It works pretty good. If you buy at a shop, they have free classes. I think...

    I have learned so much reading this message board. I don't post often but I do appreciate all the tips and tricks that I have learned from this board. When I joined disboards, I wanted an embroidery machine so that I could do all the cute clothes that everyone on this thread does. I never...

    Here's a picture of my dd in her DD peasant dress for Chef Mickey's. Not the best picture because she kept twirling in it, lol. I couldn't get her to stand still long enough to get a good picture. :lovestruc It's hard to tell in the picture that there are two of the red and white polka dot...

    Disboutiquers Part 18 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

    Cute fabrics! I have sewn both Carla C's and the Dainty Designs patterns. Both are good patterns. I like to use my serger to roll the edges around the neckline and sleeves on the DD one and then use single fold bias tape a little under the neckline so that neckline then gathers and forms a...

    Was this filmed this year or last year? I know this is the first time it has been on tv but wondering if the decorations, etc...are the ones we'll see in a couple weeks when we go to WDW?

    Anyone else in a funk right before leaving for WDW?

    I am in a funk too. We leave in 13 days. It's been a really rough November. My grandpa's funeral was last Friday and my grandma's was on Wednesday. I need a trip to get away and have fun with the kids but I thought I'd have all of November to make t-shirts and envelopes, etc...now it's 13 days...

    That is awful. Personally, I wish I could sew like you so that my dd could have the amazing experiences you are giving your dd. She will have so many experiences and hopefully will enjoy sewing as much as you do. I think it is wonderful. I wish that I had half the talent that all of you...

    Concierge/Club Level Information - Part II (Sept 2009)

    Oh, this is too bad. I hope that you were able to get things figured out. I'm sorry that happened to you. I have nothing but great things to say about the Poly IPO. Every person that I have talked to has been more than helpful, friendly and happy to help me figure out our itinerary. They have...

    Pulling out of school for Disney vacation?

    We're taking our 4th grader out for 5 days the week before Christmas. It's the first time we've taken him out for a vacation. I called the school district to find out if that was ok beforehand and then during conferences this fall I talked about it with his teacher. I was really worried about...

    Question About Split Stays?

    Our first split stay (well, our first stay, lol) will be the week before Christmas. When I booked our vacation we wanted to go as long as we could using the coupon code that we were sent. The coupon code didn't include the Saturday we wanted to arrive and we didn't want to pay full price for the...

    We are staying room only the first night and transferring to a different hotel the next morning. We didn't have any trouble with reserving ME for our arrival under the room only reservation and then ME departure under the package reservation. I received luggage tags for both a couple weeks ago...
