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

[livndisney]

It really irks me when things like this happen. I used to sell on ebay all the time and now so many sellers have made it bad IMO. I have bought maybe 5 things in the past year (minus some fabric I bought recently) but had issues with 2-3 of them.

For as much I have used paypal I really haven't had that much trouble but it really is irritating. I have easily done over 10,000 transactions. When I am thinking I empty my account and pay with a credit card. It way easier to deal with a cc then paypal. Of course I am usually too lazy (like today) to go empty it before paying.

WOW, 10,000! And I thought I was a "shopper" LOL.

I guess this is what I get for shopping instead of sewing LOL.

Most of it was selling! I hardly buy anything on ebay and most of the buying has been more recent.

Paypal because it is practically impossible to get a human to talk to if you can find the phone # in the first place. I like a human if there is an issue.

You can have a delivery confirmation # and can show delivered but if you didn't print your label through paypal (instead you went to the post office) then they automatically side with the other person (the buyer in this case). I have never understood some of their thoughts and this being the first one! I usually do print my labels through them but there has been more then once where my printer just would not print.

I shipped a stocking overseas one time on the slow boat (so takes about 4-6 weeks) and when it arrived the person filed a claim stating there was a dead spider in the box. I am not saying there wasn't but if there was it sure as heck wasn't that big or I would have seen it and I didn't put it in there on purpose. I don't want to touch a spider or send a spider somewhere! Anyways, they refunded the $15 for the stocking and the $12 shipping without making them send it back.

I could go on with the stories I have personally encountered but really overall it is hardly any compared to what I have shipped and usually something far off crazy or just that they said it didn't arrive. I know things get lost, it happens alot more then I would like to think and so that isn't so much paypal but more the postal service.

Years ago I never received 2 items (2 different transactions) but when I tried to file a dispute because it wasn't $25 they wouldn't do anything about it. They let you go through all the steps and then it just says it doesn't qualify due to amount spent. I do think that has changed since then but not positive.

WOW...okay I see why you would be disappointed. I wasn't thinking of you as the selller. That makes sense, though. Sorry. Sounds like you have had some awful experiences.

10,000 selling that is even more impressive! I always say I am going to do more selling and then I remember what a hassle ebay can be. So I stick with my word of mouth selling.LOL It helps that I have a cute "built in" model LOL.

I agree- I tried selling on ebay several years ago and got burned a few times. I still buy from there sometimes.

I wish Megan would fall in love with those princess dresses. She might say "pretty" or something, but she's determined to be Clifford the big red dog next year for halloween. When we watched beauty and the beast last weekend she told me I would be Belle. We watched Sleeping Beauty yesterday and she told me I was to be princess aurora- but she's still Clifford!!!! I say "You should be a Princess too!!!!" "Nooo, Mommy- you princess, Im goin be Clifford big red dog" LOL!!!
WHAAAAAAA!!! I dont want to make Clifford! I want to make princess gowns with satin and oraganza!! (stomping foot here)

Update on Pooh quilt: So I spent several hours tracing out pooh's LARGE body parts onto fusible web. then I started with the biggest piece- tummy and legs and sewed to the fabric, cut and turned- and guess what- it just aint gonna work. SO, back to the shop to buy more yellow "body" fabric and heat n bond lite. and I forgot to buy more stabilizer while I was there. sigh.....I so want this thing to be done!

PS.- HeatherSue- Did I miss it? Or did you ever tell us why you might be losing your sewing room? (but not to a baby)
PPS. Time for bed!
well my hands and arms are swollen from typing and my feet are swollen, cause, we cause it's the end of the day and thats just life right now. I went to a Pampered Chef party tonight and they made these little chocolate cakes with melted choc and shaved choc on top- and by the time the lady served them it was too late for me to eat chocolate because of my reflux- she kept stalling talking about hosting a party, selling pampered chef, blah blah blah- LADY IM ON A TIME LINE HERE_ GIMMIE THE DARN CHOCOLATE. Sadly, I never said that, so I had to sit there and watch everyone else get to eat it. BUT I bought the little dishes to make it myself.

Forgot to say, I already have Easy fits cut out for DD
I like this pattern

Is it ok, to not clean the house and make pants all day

That's what I plan on doing tomorrow.

This is what I have been working on so far. My daughter saw the Taylor Swift Romeo and Juliet song video and she told me she wanted her gold Juliet dress. Well she pretty much yelled and screamed "Oh, mommy I want that dress!!! I have to have that dress!!!" So, this is my version so far. We did a fitting today (LOL!) and this is the only picture that came out decent. When I finish it completely I will get some better pics up for you.

Wow! You've done a wonderful job on that dress!!!

I am far far away from that kind of sewing...heck I have had a brand new Brother CS 6000i sitting in my newly converted sewing room for ummmm 2 weeks and I am afraid to use it!!!

Don't be scared! Just dive right on in.

Wow! Beautiful dress! Great job!

The day is over I have made two pairs of Easy Fit Pants and my house isn't clean... Oh well. I still feel like I accomplished something
DS is sleeping in his new PJ pants so I don't have a pic to share.
But I just finished DDs pants and can share those... sorry no model, its sleepy time.

So I need a top to coordinate, right
I have enough of the fabric to embellish a shirt somehow... but what exactly to do is escaping me. My applique skills aren't good, but I was looking at some cherries over at SWAK so maybe that's an option.
Ideas anyone....

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

Wow! That little girl is going to be so pleased on her birthday. It looks great! My favorite is the wubzy though. I need to make one!

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

I take out my basting stitches. I sew 3 rows of them about 1/4 an inch apart and stitch in between them. It gives really pretty pleats. I usually stitch the basting stitches in a different color so that I can remove them all. Being that I use 3 rows if I leave them in the pleats don't puff out on the seam. So I don't think you are wrong!

just realized this was for kids sorry....

Are you sewing for yourself? I'm sure we'd all love to see it!

That is just darling! I need to make a sailor-ish outfit for my DD. My hubby is a captain. I think he'd like it. I LOOOOVE the corset!

Beautiful! That fabric looks yummy! I wish you could somehow contact some of Taylor Swifts people and email them the picture.

I bet your DD will change her mind by Halloween. I made a Clifford costume for my cousin when I was in high school. It came out really cute. She loved it.
Oh and yes.. HeatherSue, I missed it too if you said why you were losing the room.

I think a cherry applique would look perfect! The pants are really cute!!!


I am going to see Beth Moore at a women's conference tomorrow night with the ladies in my bible study. I am soooooo excited!!!

Omgoodnes! I found the cutest minnie custom on ebay. Am I allowed to post the link???

 

[minnie2]

I bought an item on Ebay and paid for priority shipping.A week or so went by and I had not heard anything so I emailed the seller to ask if the item had been shipped. They replied that it had been shipped on the 25th and I should get it is a day or so. I received it on the 31st via regular mail. Postage on the package was dated the 30th. (So basically I paid almost 10.00 for fast shipping, they spent 2.00 on regular shipping and lied to me about it). But then they did not send all the parts!

SO, at the VERY least I want the money I paid in shipping back. I can "make it work" for the missing piece.

My question is this-if I return it, I am not going to get my shipping back am I? Has anyone filed a dispute? And I out the money?

Any suggestions?

Sorry this is happening! I sure hope you can get this resolved.

Adorable! What about a simple pink or red top with that cherry thing from Swak?

Good Morning & TGIF!!!

I am looking for this fabric, saw it on ebay from Austalia and wanted to know if anybody else has seen it anywhere? It was almost $10 just for a FQ that does include shipping!
I really want to make some easy fit pants for pj bottoms for our trip for the girls.

 

[100AcrePrincess]

I would probably make her another princess set.

OH, that's what I'll end up doing. When I got home from work she had forgotten all about it. I asked if she wanted a Belle outfit like that & of course she said yes, so I guess sometime soon I'll be making another one.

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.

So pretty! I love nautical stuff.

Very cute fabric. Although can't say I have seen it anywhere.

Wow! Beautiful dress! Great job!

Great job, don't they go together easy? My kids love them.

No idea who Taylor Swift is, but love the dress. Can;t wait to see it complete.

Love the Nautical theme and the bodice of this.

So, it was my mom's birthday on the 21st, but she was in Florida for the month, so I am just now getting to her birthday present. I really wanted to make her a housecoat in this particular fleece she saw at the fabric store, but I have not been able to find it anywhere since the day she pointed it out to me in like November. Then I thought I would make her an apron or 2 since she loves aprons, but I never could find material that I wanted to do that with. So, when I was visiting her in Florida she was complaining about her purse.... Thus I decided to make her 2 new purses.





Long story just to show you a couple of pics. I just somehow feel that I am settling in what I am giving her. I really hope she likes them.
