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

[MinnieVanMom]

Sorry,

I am so far behind I can't even catch up but prayer for all those in need and to all.

I went to the city yesterday and didn't step foot in a fabric store or even Wal-mart I am so proud of myself for sticking with it and not buying more fabric!

I am finally feeling better. It has only been in the last two days that I have not had to nap or take cold meds. This was the worst cold I have ever had.

Finally, I don't know what to do and hope you could all help. I was given a gift cert to YCMT, I used half and there use to be a credit for the remaining. Now when I log in it is gone and I didn't buy anything else. I have written over a month, called several times and they don't respond. What else can I do to get my credit back?

Now to do and clean this mess!

We were staying at CBR pirate themed room....and the more we got thinking about it (2 families) we decided to switch to ASMu family suites...I think the space for a 2 & 5 yr old will be good for a whole week (and I will probably need the space too)...and it saved us some money...so that was a bonus also....
I was wondering if anyone from the disboutique would be going the same time as us!

We are going to be there from Sept 22-Oct 1, let's see if we can meet and say hi.

Hi ALL!

Finally get started on appliques for trip in 15 days!!!!! I have never appliqued before and am wondering- does all stabilizer iron on? I read the tutorial and it says to iron on the stabilizer- but my store did not have the brand recommended. When I tried my first one today- it came out a little "bubbled". I am sewing cotton to a T-shirt. Actually what I got came off a bolt so I have no instructions for it...

Thanks for any help!

Thank you so much for those links!! I love it...I think that's what I am going to make...beach balls, and drawstring bag. Doesn't look like it will be too hard at all.

THANKS!!!!

Oh, good! Glad I could help.

i FINALLY finished the dress that has been the death of me and I don't LIKE IT! UGH! there is a GLARING mistake which it irking me but i can't change it now My fingers are literally raw from the ruffling and pulling out the riffling stitches and I don't think I got them all but I need to step away.
It is for my GF 3 yr old's bday. I still have another one almost like it I need to finish for my niece. Hers will have the Tink fabric at the bottom.... I still need to put the skirt part of that one together but I need to step away from it for a few days because I am over it.... Her bday is at the end of June so as long as I get it done by then I am good.

I also made that pink ruffle dress for this little girl ad that wubzy dress. So she is set for her bday! LOL

I do not use iron on stablizer. I just don't like it. I pin on either cut away or tear away. The cut away is softer and usually what I use.

OK, It must not be glaring because I can't see a thing wrong at all. It is just beautiful! Sorry your fingers hurt, did you try a ruffler? It is lovely and you did a great job.

Yesterday, I finally started and finished Lauren's Easter dress, one down one to go!!! Here it is!! I took a pattern that I had made for her before and then added an underskirt with a ruffle to dress it up a bit. I actually hated the purple fabric, but since she picked it out (she pretty much hates anything I would pick for her so I let her pick her fabric out even though I am sure to hate it, I think she might be practicing for being a teenager) I felt I had to make something out of it. I actually like it now that I have the dress completed (it took me a long time to decide what other fabric to use with it to break it up). I have to bring the underskirt up a bit, but I had to try it on her to figure out exactly how much it needed to come up.

and one of her posing with a silly face

I think its very pretty. I like the fabric! Your DD is too cute!

Funny story,
Last night at Karate the town newspaper was there doing an article on one of the yong instructors. Well she was taking pictures of the class to and she ended up working with the instructor and Kyle and his partner. OMG Kyle charmed the pants of the lady from the paper. She couldn't stop laughing at him. Of course he kept saying He was famous! He was hamming it up big time posing like a little clown with ever shot. I can't wait until the article comes out. even the reported came to me and was laughing about what a trip Kyle was! Of course since Nikki is in the same clas she was NOT happy that Kyle was the center of attention!!!!!! So she was full of attitude last night big time!

Don't forget to show us the article!!

Dd5 nearly broke my heart thismorning. I had laid out the casual Sleeping Beauty outfit I made her for Christmas (peasant top & pants) that she asked me to make specifically. She told me she wasn't wearing fabric clothes anymore. I couldn't believe it since she's been asking me to make things lately. Then she told me that she didn't like the elastic in the top of the peasant top. Ok, she's told that it was itchy before , but once it's washed a few times we're always ok, so I didn't think that was it. Finally, I got out of her that it was the the WRONG PRINCESS!!! She wanted the princess she really liked. I wanted to strangle her. She ended up wearing it today (she wasn't really happy about it, but it was too late for me to be pulling together a whole new outfit), but now I have to decide if I'm a mean enough mommy to tell her she has to wear it some since she asked for it & I went to the trouble to make it for her.

I would probably make her another princess set.

Ok so for a long time a Disney cruise has been on my wishlist...maybe in 5 or ten years.

On March 4th we found out DH has a need to be in Orlando on April 18th...and he said to book the cruise!!!!

So we're going on a 4 day cruise and I had NO time to plan. I was scouring the cruise board and got oh-so behind here! I'm so excited, I can't wait!

Wooo HOoooo have a great time!!!

Cute and I hear you with all the squares!

With T's, you need more than iron on. I use spray adhesive to attach cut away stabilizer and then hoop my sticky stabilizer and then "float" the Tshirt on that. Knits still scare me!

You're supposed to take gathering stitches OUT?????????????????????



I just stitch right over them!!!! Am I the only one????????????? Maybe that is why my skirts don't ever look quite right??? LOL!!!

 

[danicaw]

Easy Fit Pants ROCK!
I love them! I just finished my first pants and THEY FIT PERFECTLY!
I started them this morning while the kids were having breakfast and finished them before I made them lunch

DS put them on and said, "Thank you Mommy, they are perfect!"
Aww, I love that kid
So, he is lounging in his new pants.
And I can't wait to put some together for DD!

 

[MouseTriper]

I only take mine out if they show after I sew over them. Why take them out if they are hidden.

just realized this was for kids sorry....

 

[Mommyto2Mousers]

So I am working on a bunch of projects, and I need a tutorial.... so I click on the bookmarks link on the first page *GASP* it keeps saying page load error!!!!

HELP!!!!!!!!

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

Nope- I dont take out my ruffling threads.
I own a ruffler- only for a few weeks, but it makes me nervous too. I will lose control of where I want my pleats and it will "ruffle" differently.

I also like the purple fabric with the flowers and the pink coordinate looks great with it!

Stabilizer- I do not use iron on.
If you are appliqueing on a knit or tshirt you may want to use a ball point needle.
I use Sulky stabilizer.
i also find I can skip it if I have used fusible interfacing, turned it and then done my satin stitch on the edges.

I always make 2 rows of gathering stitches about 1/2" apart and then my seam is stitched in between them so I only take out the row of stitches that show. The one that's hidden in the seam stays in the seam!

EASY FIT PANTS TOTALLY ROCK!!! I am making bunches of ruffled ones and I'm in .

And when appliqueing "by hand" and not my embroidery machine, I always use sulky iron on stabilizer on the back. I LOVE it!

YEAH! I I know you would love the pattern!

just realized this was for kids sorry....

not sure if you will be back, or what you were looking for, but while we do focus on stuff for kids, plenty of us sew for grown ups. I made a shirt for DH last year for our trip and others here have made stuff for themselves- if you have a sewing question- ask away!
