[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

Tom: what can I say??!!!!!!


the outfits are so sweet and I love them!!!! I love how you have an eye to perfectly combine fabric colors!!!!!!!
are they baby size?
I hope you do not mind if I case your design sans the hats (I do not know if I can do them-- is the main part of the hat triangle shape panels ?

Thanks Linnette! Your Feliz came out great too! Yes, they are baby size. About a 6-9 mos. size. The hats are made out 12 slightly rounded triangles. Six for the outside and six on the lining. I also inserted a piece of elastic in a casing on the back to help hold them on.

I haven't sewn alot since our trip. But, I did make a couple of outfits for a friend who is taking her twin girls on their first trip to the world.

The front and the back.

Adorable! You have such a good eye for colors. I love the gingham lining the bodice and that blue ruffle matches perfectly! Great job.

Hello. I am a newbie to disboutiquing. I try to buy us matching shirts each year, but was thinking of doing something more creative this time. I love everything that i have seen here. You gals are so creative and talented.

I do not have the time/talent/patience/confidence or whatever to do the beautiful outfits that you create, but I do remember seeing somewhere a list of boutiquers that had free iron-on designs. can anyone please direct me?

specifically we are looking for a star wars theme shirt, a safari mickey (for AK), and some other mickey or disney character(s) for EPCOT and MK.

TIA,
Debra

You need to head over to the creaive designs thread. Tons of iron on designs there and if you don't see one you like just make a request and someone will create it for you.

I am back from our trip. We got home yesterday. I want to thank all of you for the advice and offers to help me out last week when the lady from didn't send the dresses I ordered. I can't believe how kind all of you were you amaze me. So many of you offered to help. Well, Cindee (Livndisney) lives in Orlando and she made Grace a minnie dot pillowcase dress and drove over to Port Orleans and left it there for me. Can you believe that? To top it off she refused to let me pay her. I am sooooooooooooo thankful. I loved the dress and it was so cute on Grace. I cried to think so many people cared to help me. I just wanted to post a picture of Grace in her dress so Cindee could see how cute she looked in it.
Thanks again to all of you.

Hello -

I am new to the Disboutiquers section of the Disboards. I have been trolling through seeing all the beautiful work everyone has done. I love the outfits I am seeing.

We are going to be at the BWV in April and I am sewing dresses for my twin 2 year olds. Their favorite princess currently is Snow White. I have looked on like and at local craft/fabric stores and can't seem to find a simple applique with Snow White's face only. Any suggestions as to where I can look online???

THANKS!!!!!!

Stacy

If you are looking for an embroidery machine design there is this one, but it's in a set. You could ask her if she'd sell it individually. I have purchased from her before and her designs are great.

If you don't have an embroidery machine, just go to the first page of this thread and find Heathersue's bestest applique tutorial and you can use any or parts of any image you want by scanning or copying a coloring page or whatever image you find on the internet.

Awww, Grace looks so cute! And that Cindee is such a sweetheart! She always seems to be running over to Disneyworld to deliver something for someone!

That is a gorgeous dress! Sometimes I see those and think "I can do that' but then I think of all of the projects I started because I thought I could do that and I think I need to stick to the iron-ons or just buy a shirt off the rack.

I got the luggage out and did the food items and bathroom items and then started on the big bag for our clothes.

I couldn't find any of DS summer things inside so I checked the garage. Nothing! So I went to the wood shed and found a tupperware bin with his clothes by just peeking inside the lid.

When I brought it insde I opened the lid to see shreads of paper. I knew immediately it was bad. Every pair of his shorts, all his shirt, basically the entire bin had been eaten by mice. I don't have a clue how they got in but they eat every item that was blue or navy. They went all the way to bottom of the bin. I just threw it all in the trash.

Now I have to hurry to make DS board shorts to match his custom clothes. I guess it is going to be a very busy Sunday/Monday.

Thanks friends for the support and yes it is funny that I didn't remember what day I am suppose to leave. I am laughing...now.

OH MY!!! You are handling that so much better than I would have. I would have cried on the floor!

 

[revrob]

I am SO jealous!!! Wow! Those machines are just awesome! Do you have a link to the machine you got, so I can drool over it?

SURE! Here's a link!

http://www.babylock.com/sergers/imagine/

I have a friend who has a Baby Lock serger but she is in Kansas, where we used to live. It's a little far here in Dallas to see it so you'll have to show pictures of yours. So tell me what all it does differently than the cheap old serger I have from Wal-Mart. I think if I remember correctly hers used that jet air to "thread itself" right? I still feel like I am new to the whole sewing thing and don't really understand what all of the machines do. I wish I still lived by my old neighbor so I could see her machines and what she does - doesn't it figure that while I lived there I didn't sew?

Hmm, that is kind of strange comments! Sometimes though I think that there aren't a lot of people our age sewing. Do you think that is what he meant?

YES! The machine THREADS ITSELF! AMAZING! No more threading the serger in a specific order. No more holding my tongue just the right way to thread the dreaded lower looper! It THREADS ITSELF! WOO HOO!

The serger does all of the regular stuff that a serger does. It serges the seams, and it does, of course, the rolled edge hem. The great thing is that there are NO TENSION DIALS! You select what it is that you want to do, and the machine somehow sense exactly what kind of fabric you're using and adjusts the tension automatically. SO, the stitches are PERFECT every single time. You can even change stitches in the middle of something, and it doesn't miss a beat. It changes from regular serging to rolled edge hem in a single stitch. AMAZING. PLUS, the extra feet that I"m still waiting to come in, will allow me to do all kinds of other stuff too! It has an elastic foot that will stretch the elastic as you go so that the elastic is perfectly stretched on a project. It has a gathering foot that perfectly gathers and attaches at the same time at a perfect 2:1 ratio. No more basting stiches! No more testing the gathering foot to get the perfect settings. I can also make my own piping, and attach it at the same time with the cording foot. Can you tell I'm excited?

As far as the comment goes, I kinda wondered if that's what he meant. That people "my age" don't sew these days. I just thought to myself, "well, you've not met the Disboutiquers!"

SO CUTE! Those little girls are going to be precious!

I just wanted to pop in because I just saw some of the elusive purple princess toile on etsy- and it actually isn't too bad- 10.00 for a yard and a half.

I know someone was looking desperately for it awhile ago.

Does anyone have a recaro combination carseat? They are $99 at woot.com today.
