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

[tricia]

But you asked for square, not rectangular. I don't think they have them like that at that site. Sorry, I am no help afterall.

 

[HeatherSue]

If you click on my ticker it will bring you to a site to make one.

Thanks, but I'm looking for a square one. I only see the longer banners and the nametags that say Disney World on that site.

Disneyland? Wow! Is this a new development? I didn't know you were going there. That's one place I want to visit someday. When are you going? I guess I'll have to wait for your ticker!

I'm really hoping to! I already booked the hotel for October 7-12. I just need to find cheap airfaire now!! I've only been to Disneyland once when I was 17. I loved it then, but I don't remember much!

So much for my good day! Think I'm being talked about at the grocery store?

Oh my!!! That made me laugh so hard!!!!

So.. I am about to purchase my first Carla C pattern. I am just wondering though.... The simply sweet has no placket in the back. Is it just that big that you can pull it over their heads? I like my things to be pretty fitted. I'm just wondering if I am going to hate it.
Is it just because of how deep the neckline is that you can pull it over their heads??

Look in the Photobucket account and see if you like the way it fits the kids in there. I love it. A placket would really change the pattern.

Oh that is sooo cute!!! I don't remember seeing this before!

Is it wrong to sign in for too many gives?Linnette

PLEASE sign up for as many Gives as you would like!!!
There is absolutely NO maximum amount of outfits or items that can be sent!!! Three is the very bare MINIMUM! We love love love it when people sign up for more!!!

O.k. ladies (and Tom), I guess I've lurked long enough. I was inspired by the mock smocked disney fabric at Joanns, so I picked up enough for 3 and the trims necessary to complete them and make them more custom, plus I found a pattern for a bandana dress and I bought enough fabric to make a lined skirt and an applique for the top. (Plus I need to buy Carla C's pattern for the easy fit pants to make coordinating shorts for DS) so, it looks like I'm well and truly gone - now all I need to do is learn how to sew garments (so far I've only done curtains, hemming, etc.) I figure I might as well jump straight into the deep end! Anyway, wish me luck, and hopefully I'll have some (really bad) pics to post soon.

The preshirred is a great place to start! They turn out so cute and are so easy!

Well after looking at the beautiful pictures I had decided to learn to sew..... after watching the embroidery machine video earlier, I decided I wanted learn to applique at the same time (I can go ahead and try on some store bought things until I get the sewing stuff down). So I bit the bullet and ordered an embroidery machine tonight..... it didn't look too tough in the videos and demos I looked at, but I am sure it will take me awhile to catch on, but I am soooooo excited. Now please no one else mention any other equipment I might want to shell out a bunch of money for.

Also.... the video was great, but I was still thrown on how you would do an applique with multiple layers on an embroidery machine. There are some free downloads on this site and the instructions with it really helped me see how it works. It shows how each piece is done step by step. I hope it is okay to post the link:

This explained it for me, I hope it helps the others who were asking how the machine worked.

Wow!! you are quick! I'm excited for you!

Let me try this picture thing. Here are a few things I have made for my little one. [IMG]http://i378.photobucket.com/albums/oo223/sew4fun/th

Oh wow ! sorry they are all so big! this is the first time I have posted pictures

These are so pretty!!! I really really love the Pooh one!

I've been lurking for a few days, but just registered today. I'm so glad I found you. I've loved looking at all of the pictures. I just started sewing a few years ago.

We are also going to be in WDW Sept 12 -20th and are staying at Port Orleans Riverside.

I'd love to make more things for my kids before I go. I have two dd's one will turn 4 while we are there and my older dd will be 10.

I just made a dress out of a t shirt for my youngest dd and want a petti to go under it. Seeing the ones here and reading some of the bookmarks has been a huge inspiration. I can't wait to start it.

Dawn

!!!! So nice to see so many newbies today!

Oh my !!! I am soooo excited! My outfit got picked as the spotlight in the swak newsletter!!! I hope this doesn't sound to braggish, but I was so excited when I checked my email and saw my outfit in the newsletter!

Mindy

Mindy that is so exciting!!! Thanks for telling us!~!!

Last night I made a pillowcase dress for my 2 year old and a pillowcase shirt for my 12 year old.

These are really cute!! I love the yellow eyelet.

Where could I find a square ticker? I need one that will fit on the end of all of my pictures in my siggy. I like the name tag ones, but they say "Disney World" and I'm going to Disneyland!!!

Heather, the tag ones have three styles, Disney World, Disney Cruise and wait for it...................................

DISNEY LAND!!!!

Who has the square one?? I missed that!

A-HA!! It helps to actually click on the link where it takes you to the different designs!

I couldn't find a square one, but I wish I could!

Wow, nothing like jumping right in!! What kind of machine did you get?

I ordered the Brother PE700II Embroidery Machine with USB Port. Has anyone used this machine before? I ordered it with next day air, so I should have it tomorrow, I am really excited to try it out!

 

[HeatherSue]

YAY!! It feels so official now!! I had to get rid of my "sewing links" picture, though.

 

[phins_jazy]

Butterick patterns go on sale tomorrow at Joanns. I'm going to get this one

I figure it's pretty close to the anna wrap dress and it saves me some $$.

Question- Does the anna pattern have buttons on the inside like this one does?

Now, off to order the vida.

 

[teresajoy]

Yes, when you get a ticker that makes it "official!!

They have a small version too.

Wendy,
Sorry this took a few days.

I hope this matches her pretty panel George skirt.

I had to laugh or cry because I have been doing online tutorial for photoshop and saw a folder in my hotmail. Two years ago I was doing a tutorial on photoshop. Gotta love the TBI! I learn, I forget!

How exciting!! We are talking about going the end of september like the 23-october 1 we would be staying AZ visiting dh grandparents. Then taking a side trip over to DL in the middle of the trip. The grandparents get worn out from all the commotion and disturbance to their routine. One time we went to the grand canyon when we visited! I've just been checking around and talking with the AAA travel agent, didn't book anything yet. Where are you going to stay?

I need that tutorial! I have elements and I've just been learning. I really want to learn how to do those name things! They are really neat!!

Ms Heather, I would just like to point out that DisneyLAND is in California. DisneyWORLD and MORGAN and JORD are in Florida. Sweetie you are headed the wrong way

DISNEYLAND, YOU ARE COMING TO DISNEYLAND????? I would so love to meet you when you are here!!! And I want to meet Flea, and anyone coming to Disneyland! I have my pass and am always ready to go!!

Okay, back to comment on everything else!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I need that tutorial! I have elements and I've just been learning. I really want to learn how to do those name things! They are really neat!!

Mine is old and not for CS2 which I use but I found it on about.com

Just search for tutorials for Elements and see what you find. I like youtube because I can see what they are doing and find a lot of answers there. I asked for help and there were two wonderful people who did help me so much and shared what they knew. One of them is here on our forum also!

With CS2 there are so many ways to do the same thing but this is how I do it.

Open up a picture.
Put type on top of it, big letters.
Move type layer to the very top.
Click on type but have all layers showing.
Go to Select and then load options.
Unclick type, now there are the marching ants.
Click on Edit and copy merged
Open NEW
Click Edit and paste
Then Edit, stroke to outline letters.

I hope that helps and feel free to ask if you need more help. Again, I am using CS2 not Elements.

I try to keep up with this thread, but it moves soooo fast!!!

Adorable peeps outfit! My kids love peeps but I never even thought about making peeps outfit...I may have to case you for next Easter.

I find your board while I am planning my trip in less than 2 weeks we leave. You inspired me to try appliques. So in the last 13 days I have completed 1 Mickey Mouse Pillowcase and 4 dresses (2 with appliques and 3 of the 4 were Disney related). I am now trying to finish up my 5th dress and my machine bit me. I got too close to the needle mechanism and I got stabbed by the metal screw that tightens the needle. I have a hole in my nail, about a 1/4 inch line and it is bleeding. The tingle in my nail has now slowed down the sewing process. LOL. The dress is complete but I have to add the applique which is P for the Phillies for my Niece. Please send me vibes for a safe finish of the dress and I will give my machine a break till I get back from Disney.... I promise!!!!!!!!

OUCH...hope your finger feels better soon!

LOL.....that is too funny! Laughing with you and along with everyone else!

Such cute, cute outfits and I have missed seeing picture of your little girl!

Great customs, and looks like everyone had a great time.

Love the princess and pooh bear dress! your dd is adorable.

I think it's pink.

THANK YOU (and sorry, I think I lost a quote!) for answering the question about EEyore's tail. I am so glad that you posted that picture because it really help...and looks like his tail is the lighter gray as well. I was going to make it dark gray.

Oh my !!! I am soooo excited! My outfit got picked as the spotlight in the swak newsletter!!!! I hope this doesn't sound to braggish, but I was so excited when I checked my email and saw my outfit in the newsletter!

Mindy

No..not braggish at all. When I saw that, I knew it was by someone on here....you should be so proud!!

 

[karebear1]

See, T? She is such a sweetheart that she will help you out even if you don't address her properly. Right, oh Queen of the Cricut?

How in heaven's name did I miss that?!?!?


I'm sorry T, I am forced to take it back! Until I am addressed in a proper manner.............. I cannot help you! "Queen" or "Your Royal Highness" are both acceptable.... preferrably typed in a magenta or pink color and at the very least bolded. Thank you.

Okay- First- WDW in Sept is HOT!!!!! For our honeymoon we went at the tail end of Aug into the first week of Sept and it was awful.
I think our next trip will be May next year- so this baby will be 1 year old. I'd love to wait til this baby is a little older- but I have experienced Aug and Sept and Oct and don't wish to re experience the humidity and heat-thats just me. (we saw temps of 110-115 on our Aug-Sept trip)

110-115???? I've lived in FL. my whole life and have never seen #'s like that in central FL. Maybe you were thinking of Heat Index temps which combine the actual temp/wind(or lack there of) and humidity for a "feels like" temperature. Kinda similar to the wind chill factor up north. Mays average high is 87.8 while Sept. is only 89.7 (that's less than a 2 degree difference) althought the average humidity in May is 49% and in Sept. it's 60%. Also Orlando's record high for and month June-sept was 100 degrees and that was in the mid to late 1980's depending on the month. The record high for anywhere in the state of Fl. was 109 degrees in Monticello FL in 1931.

And today at The World it is...currently 70 w/ an expected high of 79 and 49% humidity. w/ a feels like of 65.

In the only City of Live Mermaids it is...72 degrees and mostly sunny w/ an expected high of 79 and 48% humidity. w/ a feels like of 71.

WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING ON THE COMPUTER???? Oh, yeah, I'm babysitting. If I could keep up w/ a 4 yo and a 1.5 yo at the beach by myself in my "condition" I would so be gone!!!

Whoooooo WAIT a MINUTE!!!!!!

Ms Heather, I would just like to point out that DisneyLAND is in California. DisneyWORLD and MORGAN and JORD are in Florida. Sweetie you are headed the wrong way

Right??? I tried to tell them.

AND where are my manners. I did,certainly, not intend to offend the Mistress of the Cricut and send my sincere apologies for my misgivings.

NICE ticker Heather... BOY, I wish I had a ticker. Can I make a ticker for my day trip over to meet Teresa? or the MNSSHP weekend trip I'm "allowed" to take??? Our friends are still coming down for MVMCP so I might sneak a 3 day weekend in there too.... The sacrifices I make!!!!

What fun!! I hope you get to go!! Where in AZ are DH's grandparents? Henry's brother lives in Yuma (near Yuma, actually) and his mom lives in Payson. We went to the Grand Canyon on our first visit out there when we were both about 21. Yep, that was a big hole. I think I would be more impressed now that I'm a little older!

Whoooooo WAIT a MINUTE!!!!!!

Ms Heather, I would just like to point out that DisneyLAND is in California. DisneyWORLD and MORGAN and JORD are in Florida. Sweetie you are headed the wrong way

I know, I know... Hey, it's warm in California!!! Maybe you should join us!!

DISNEYLAND, YOU ARE COMING TO DISNEYLAND????? I would so love to meet you when you are here!!! And I want to meet Flea, and anyone coming to Disneyland! I have my pass and am always ready to go!!

Okay, back to comment on everything else!

Yes, I'm thinking I'm actually going to be there!!! Jeanne will be there at the same time as me, too! Jessica was talking about it, but now she's ditching us for Disney World. T was hoping to come, but it's looking like she won't be able to make it.

I would LOVE to meet up with you!!!!

How in heaven's name did I miss that?!?!?
