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

[ibesue]

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!!!

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!

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

Nope- I dont take out my ruffling threads.

I am doing something wrong. I take out every last little basting stitch!!

Here is my newest creation. I had planned for DD to wear this on the last trip when we ate at the Yachtsmen but MIL told me before the trip that she would watch teh kids that night so DH could eat there alone. I never finished it and today, it was calling to me so I finished it. I love how it turned out. I think she will wear it on the fireworks cruise I am hoping to book for the next trip.

Cute, cute set!! I love it, although I would be afraid to put my kids in anything with that much white. They are extremely messy eaters.

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!

I have always just use the Sulky iron on stabilizer when I applique on T-shirts.. Are the cut away much better...and tell me more about this spray adhesive? I have never used the spray before.

LOL I feel like an evil parent. I have always been crazy about how the kids look so now if Roseanna gets something on her, she wants to change. I have gotten more laid back after having a boy and I don't care as much but I think I may have damaged ROseanna as she CAN NOT get a stain on her or she gets so upset.

So very cute!! Doesn't it feel good to get those projects finished!!

I have always just use the Sulky iron on stabilizer when I applique on T-shirts.. Are the cut away much better...and tell me more about this spray adhesive? I have never used the spray before.

I have the Dritz spray Adhesive right now. I cut a piece of cut away Sulky the size of the front of the T shirt. Then spray the Sulky and put it on the T. I tried different ways and this worked so I don't do anything different! I do use a ball point needle and then I hoop my sticky stabilizer. Also Sulky! Did you know you can buy it by the yard at Hancocks?? Anyway, then I lay my T shirt on the sticky and go from there to embroider on my T's. I am sure I do way too many steps, but I had a LOT of problems when I first started with the Tshirts. I loved doing embroidery on peasant shirts!! Oh and I always buy my Sulky on the 50% off notions sales at Joanns.

I just finished flouncy skirts in tinkerbell fabric for DD1 & DD3. I bought the tink pillowcase to make a shirt, but can't decide which to do...I have CarlaC's simply sweet, portrait peasant, & a-line. Which do you think would work best? You all have so much more experience I know there will be some good opinions for me. Thanks!!!

I haven't taken my gathering threads out. I do mine all by hand, and only do one row I'm tempting fate!!

 

[Jennia]

Yeah! Its done.

Although I may move the buttons around a bit we shall see....

Thank you to those I CASE'd this combo from.
And this seems to be DDs offical picture pose
Although usually she is yelling "CHEESE" at the same time.
It was naptime so she wasn't quite as animated as usual.

Pay no mind to the un-made bed and Minnie under it (So, thats where she went)
I think the back hem is resting on her bed... usually it hangs better
Next up for me - my first shot at Easy Fit Pants.... Some pj pants for DS then I am hoping for some capri's with ruffles for DD.


Ooo, cute cruise stuff! Looks like you had a great time
Oh, my sewing to do list gets longer every day

Cute, love her pose!

WOW this is amazing! I'm a huge sucker for children in nautical inspired outfits anyway. ^-^

I'd probably use the simply sweet for making a top because I think full skirts need a shirt that's more fitted to have the right look.


I finally broke down and used the machine yesterday. Wow, talk about a huge difference! I made a drawstring backpack in about 40 minutes (forgot to buy cording though, duh!) and now I have shorts cut out and ready to go (but probably won't get to those right away-although dd isn't vomiting anymore, she's gotten super clingy and wants to be carried all day long).

The costume you made your mom is great! We would love to see what you do next.

Great outfit! Your applique is wonderful!

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

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 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!

I don't take them out if they don't show but this time alot showed so I had no choice!

Don't feel bad! I never take mine out either! Ooops!!!

I am doing something wrong. I take out every last little basting stitch!!

Thanks everyone! I was just curious as I never even thought to take them out. Hahah. I suppose if they showed, I would definitely take them out. I am all for whatever is easiest for me. Hahaha.

Lily just saw this and said "WHAT IS HER NAME???" I said "Roseanna" and Lily said "I LOVE HER!!!" The outfit is very cute!

Ummm...that's exactly what I've been doing...for the last 2 days

I posted earlier asking about the bookmarks...can anyone help? They are still not working for some reason

I just checked and they are working for me, is it just a specific one that isnt working or all of them?

 

[DisneyKings]

I'd probably use the simply sweet for making a top because I think full skirts need a shirt that's more fitted to have the right look.

That was what I was originally thinking--I think the lining will help the pillowcase hold its shape better. Then I started 2nd guessing myself thinking they needed sleeves & that the portait peasant might show more of tinkerbell... I will only use CarlaC's patterns since I'm still learning & doubting myself, but her patterns are broken down so well it's easy! I'm so glad everyone raved about them!

Lily just saw this and said "WHAT IS HER NAME???" I said "Roseanna" and Lily said "I LOVE HER!!!" The outfit is very cute!

SO CUTE! I hven't let Roseanna near here in awhile becuase she is always wanting me to make something. LOL I have so many other sewing projects, I feel like I never have time to "take requests" She has one that she wants with the fab 5 that I might tackle next but it will be a ton of applique work so I have been putting it off.
