Disboutiquers Part 30 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[NiniMorris]

I posted here some time last spring wondering about learning to sew and embroider. It was recommended that I jump into the a Scientific Seamstress Jamie sew along and you all got me hooked on sewing! Thank you! Now I want an embroidery machine. I'm considering a new Brother PE770 or 780 or a used Bernina Artista 150. They are a very similar price. What would your recommendation be? Also where can I find great Disney/Pixar embroidery files or Disney-like files? I saw a few when I checked the bookmarks, but I'm guessing I'm missing files somewhere. If there aren't files, can you all link me please? Thank you!!!

Welcome to the addiction! Because if you thought sewing was an addiction...just wait until you start embroidering!

I am biased, I have 2 770's. IF I were to need a third one it would be another 770. The only thing I would trade them for would be a good multi needle machine. (In a heartbeat!)

If you are looking for Disney files, the best place I go to is Frou Frou by Heather Sue. I started off with her as my first designs, and have never had a bad design from her. There are a couple others that I would recommend...Kira and Jessica...come to mind right off the bat, but I cannot remember their shop names at the moment.


Once you get an embroidery machine you will never be the same!

Nini, if you remember the names of the other 2 stores please let me know! FrouFrou is AMAZING! Does anyone know if she takes requests?

I'm sure she does.

Can someone give me an idea of the difficulty of a Grace Ruffle Dress? I'm looking into making some outfits for DD for her first Disney trip (and to wear after because why not?!) I've been sewing for almost 20 years but have never been one for patterns, hoping this would be a good one to start with. I am also thinking I'll make a quick t-shirt type dress for the trip.

I have a Brother sewing and also a Brother professional embroidery machine, any idea where to find some good applique downloads of minnie? I can find some thread outlines but not ones that have the fabric center.

Thanks!

Bows and clothes and sweet pea's place were previously recommended on this board. I have used both as well as heathersue. All are great. For bows and clothes and sweet peas you will have to email and request a log in to get access to the character files. Hope this helps!

Both have wonderful princess designs and many others, too.

HeatherSue posted recently on her FB page that she is not taking requests at this time.

Thank you all so much! You have pointed me to some amazing designs! I just saw some Mickey heads and other cute designs on Just Peachy Appliqué and they are having a great sale right now. Has anyone used them? Are they good quality designs? Thanks so much!

Oh, yes, forgot about Just Peachy. I've liked the designs from her. She spoils you with her sales. No other Dis designers do so many or such high percentage sales.

Saw this material for sale on facebook and thought that would make a nice skirt for Madam on our upcoming trip to Animal Kingdom.

This is my first successful clothing sew I am pretty proud of my self.

Ariana likes it and threw a strop when I asked her to take it off at dinner time so she didn't spill spaghetti and sauce all over it.

The skirt is very cute and your little one looks adorable wearing it.

On a roll, These pics are only 7 months late lol
We were at Disney August 19 - 29th, 2013. So many disboutique ladies were so helpful when my mom and I were making these, Special thanks to Andrea, Nini, Flora, Jennifer and more! for answering tons and tons of questions and to everyone for offering advice and opinions.

This is a mishmash of pics of us at Disney for our trip

We're going to Disney!

Day 3 and we finally got to see the castle

DisneyDay3 (2) by disboardsflick, on Flickr

V had an appt at The BBB that morning. When we got there, she had picked the Tiana dress prior and someone had surprised her the day before with a new doll The doll had a Tiana dress on. We did not make the doll dress it was ordered off etsy. When we got there the FGIT decided the doll "Emily" needed to be BBB'd too!

The Tiana dress didn't last long. I am officially NEVER buying a park dress again. She loved her Pink Cinderella dress. Super comfy. We Princessified The Simply Sweet from Scientific Seamstress/Carla C

DisneyDay3_78 by disboardsflick, on Flickr

loved her bow (didn't make that either!)

DisneyDay3_88 by disboardsflick, on Flickr

Quite potentioally my favorite pic from the entire trip

DisneyDay3_90 by disboardsflick, on Flickr

Oye looks like the dress had been through the ringer at this point. Only thing I was unhappy with was the amount of white at the bottom. We rehemmed it and took it up a bit later.

DisneyDay3_116 by disboardsflick, on Flickr

Dinner with the Princess herself

DisneyDay3_124b by disboardsflick, on Flickr

Ready for night time festivities at the Dessert party! This dress had so many flaws and really needed to be taken apart and redone, but no time. Shhhh don't see the crooked bodice lol. Loree (I don't know her Dis name - Tink something) Designed the amazing applique for me! We used the Grace Ruffle Dress and her headband was a custom Princess Pie!

DisneyDay3_195b by disboardsflick, on Flickr

It did not turn out at all like I'd planned.

DisneyDay3_207 by disboardsflick, on Flickr

Breakfast at Tusker House! My mom made the skirt and I made the shirt. The shirt never even made it home. I tossed it. I bumped the machine when it was going and the design ended up being off set. If you really look you can tell.

DisneyDay4 by disboardsflick, on Flickr

Dancing with Donald, This was her park outfit for the day (yes way too many outfits.) The pettiskirt was bought and I made the shirt and the necklace.

I haven't been on here for ages, but had to jump in to say how lovely the necklaces are and how much fun to see V in all her little outfits for Disney, even if it was a while ago! Just the cutest!!! Your trips always look so fun!

And I haven't "met" you, Kirsten, but your AK outfits are beautiful and your little ones are cute as can be. I do hope you get more excited about your upcoming trip since it's such a long way for you to come. The weather should be lovely!
