Disboutiquers Part 13 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[Tinka_Belle]

Okay since we're all friends now, I'll make a confession- I'm a huge nerd. Yes, a Star Wars Loving, Science Fiction movie watching, Anime worshiping, Video Game playing, comic book nerd.

You should try being one of 2 girls in a class full of guys like that. It took 2 semesters before one of these guys was able to ask me a question. At first they had this attitude like they knew more than me now they ask me for help. I too like Star Wars. I know what XBox, PS3 and Wii are and I can tell you the difference between each one and the pros and cons of each system. I find this funny because I watch DH play WOW (he finally got me hooked) while I add girly ruffles to pink dresses and help him come up with names for characters (If see him around Nutless Squirrel is a name I came up with). I prefer to be called Geek though. It implies technology.

Love the veggie tales party and doll house! So cute!



probably, but a bigger picture would help a lot! The biggest one looks like a buttonhole foot but seriously, a bigger picture!

So I wasn't loving the Garanimals tank tops having ruffles, I mean that kind of gets in the way of applique, KWIM? But then I sewed ribbon around the ruffles and I love it!

Jeanne I LOVE this! I was wanting to do something zebra, this is FANTASTIC! Hope you don't mind me casing you??!!

Comic books were actually the biggest way I helped Em to learn to read. When she was struggling with that (she was the lowest reader in her grade and had to be in a special program) was also the time she was receiving OT for her sensory issues twice a week. (This was also when I was a much younger and less fluffy single mom)

Well at least once a week we'd walk across the street from OT to a wonderful "Mom and Pop" comic shop, where she'd get to pick her own comic, which she DID love to read (btw now we can't stop her from reading. THe one and only time she was grounded, the punishment was she was only allowed to read for fun 1.5 hours a day!)

Of course you'd get a lot of looks being a female in the comic shop, but I think comic book types are generally shyer unless you strictly want to talk nerd things. Approaching females in general though didn't happen- UNTIL my cell phone rang one day while I was shopping comics, and played...the theme from the X-Men cartoon.

You know the "bees to honey" saying? LOL yeah. It was kinda funny to be honest. But yes, be a female, go to a comic book shop and have your phone play a superhero cartoon theme, and you get a LOT of attention (of course I just smiled and said no thank you).

Interesting enough, I did end up marrying another Star Wars Loving, Science Fiction movie watching, Anime worshiping, Video Game playing, comic book nerd, but I didn't meet him in the comic shop...I met him playing a video game!

Embarrassing confession time over. I'm going to blame my openness on pain and pain medication, okay?

I hope you didn't take offense at my comments! I sure didn't mean any. I like nerds and my son (the one who called it the nerd store) has at least one good friend who is very much into comic books and such. I strongly suspect that DS9 is developing into quite the nerd, himself. It's all about Star Wars and Transformers with that guy! And let me tell you, you are one talented nerd!! (I mean that with the highest respect)

This has got to be our fastest moving thread yet. Teresa moved us on 4/8 and at this rate we'll be on Part 14 by tomorrow...and Teresa is on vacation. Heather- can you move us while she's gone????

I don't think anyone was offended. In fact most of the "nerds" and "Geeks" that I know all embrace their nerdiness and geekiness. It has actually become acceptable to be called this.

That is the hip measurement! Sorry, should have specified!

 

[reservations4five]

Sorry!! Here is a better picture..

Oh no not at all! We use that term and Geek with a badge of honor around here. If you call one of the kids Nerd or Geek they reply with THANK YOU!

[HeatherSue]

Thank you sooo much!



Awww, you are too sweet! Thank you!

Mindy! I almost didn't recognize you with your new avatar!! You're a cutie, too!!

I asked a shirring ? but couldn't find the answerI want to learn how to shirr and I di the whole wind the bobbin with elastic thread. But it didn't work! Could i have not wound the thread enough? any help would be wonderful!!!!

Did you try to hit it with some steam? Mine doesn't really shirr up very well until I use my iron and hit it with lots of steam.

We love nerds! I had a weirdo club in 2nd grade. Now I'm more of a dork (hence the title of my TR).

I love it! What a cute idea! Lily is looking particularly adorable today!

This has got to be our fastest moving thread yet. Teresa moved us on 4/8 and at this rate we'll be on Part 14 by tomorrow...and Teresa is on vacation. Heather- can you move us while she's gone????

I would be honored to start the new thread if we get there before Teresa gets back!

The thread is moving so quickly because there aren't very many obnoxiously long multi-quotes like mine! I think each page is about 15 posts long, regardless of how long each post is. So, if everybody multi-quotes, the threads last longer.

The bookmarks have a section called "Sewing Machines and Attachments". You should be able to find out what they somewhere in there. I'm pretty sure the long one is a buttonholer foot.

super, super cute! love the zebra print.

 

[SallyfromDE]

Thanks!



I just tried to catch up and there is no way!! Sorry! I did see some beautiful things I missed!!!

I asked a shirring ? but couldn't find the answerI want to learn how to shirr and I di the whole wind the bobbin with elastic thread. But it didn't work! Could i have not wound the thread enough? any help would be wonderful!!!!

I had to wind mine tight to get the look I wanted.

 

[Clutterbug]

What a fun party and I love all the projects, but that house is the best!!

WOW! I haven't been on in so long and I have missed out! I wanted to post my little Rylie in her Sophie tunic:

Her little girl is about the same size as Rylie so that worked out well!

I love your new av, Mindi! So good to see you! I love both of the outfits and Rylie is such a cutie.

I asked a shirring ? but couldn't find the answerI want to learn how to shirr and I di the whole wind the bobbin with elastic thread. But it didn't work! Could i have not wound the thread enough? any help would be wonderful!!!!

I think that we came to a consensus here that the Brother machines with the drop-in bobbin aren't very good at shirring. Mine, in particular, doesn't seem to keep the elastic tight enough. Not sure what type of machine you have, but that might be an answer even though it's a frustrating one.

Now I'm hobbling back to bed for a while to try and pray this pain goes away.

Sorry that you are feeling badly.

HELP!

I just found these in the bag my machine came to me with. Can anyone tell me what they are for bylooking at them?

I think the first one is a zipper foot and then a button hole foot then a clear applique foot? Just my guesses.

 

[twob4him]

OK people you're killing me....hahahaha....I am sorry but I had to skim...sorry if I left anyone out! I love that cute zebra outfit on Lily! Too cute!! And Mindy, your dd is adorable in her tunic with her big smile! I wanna see more of her! I love your new avatar too! Those poodle skirts are wonderful...and Heather....you are still working on your tr???? Love all of the tester tunics! Great job ladies and gentleman!!!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the kind compliments! You all made my day!
