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

[MinnieVanMom]

Can someone help me with shirring please??
I am not getting shirred fabric. I am getting straight fabric with elastic on the underside... it just isn't gathered. I have the elastic on the bobbin. How tightly do you wind the bobbin? The directions on the dress I am making say to wind it loosely, but surely that must be wrong huh??
I am so frustrated. I had to rip it all out because it never gathered. The directions said to steam it to make it gather.. that didn'twork either!
I have the whole dress finished except for shirring the neckline and sleeves.

I love to shirr the backs for a great fit. I wind my bobbin by hand and make it as tight as my old hands can get it around the bobbin. I also find my first shirr line is loose at the top so I now start in the middle then work up and down.

I hope this helps.

Cathy, the girls look great! Tom, wonderful and amazing dresses. Could you please come out and teach me how to sew?

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I've made a few things in anticipation of our upcoming trip. Only a week and a day to go now! (I've been going through pages and pages of all of your stuff and it's making me want to go back to the fabric store!)

Wall-E nightgown.

Have a wonderful trip and so soon! The clothes are all just too cute and I love the wall E outfit. I also design but am new and just learning. Do you use CS2?

Sorry your pictures didn't show up when I th_ them.

Thanks April, I needed that.

Tom the dresses are absolutely adorable and Cathy your girls look so pretty with their beautiful smiles. I too was a little jealous that I didn't win. I pouted, but was so happy that Cathy won.

Jajone-The chinese wrap dress is adorable!! I think a sleeveless wrap top for you would be great to match.

I love the nightgown pics too.

I have seen them at Walmart in the past. I am not sure I have seen them recently though.

Kathyell, those outfits are so cute! She is going to be adorable on the trip!

Tom! Those dresses are fantastic! And Cathy, the girls look absolutely gorgeous.

I haven't done any sewing in a long while (well I did make some cloth pads a while ago, but thats it) but I did make a diaper cake for my cousins baby shower. It was a big hit!

Tom, the dresses are gorgeous. I made a snow white dress with the little tear drops on the sleeves, and I think it is my favorite dress I have ever made. That makes it look soooo adorable!

I failed shirring 101! I do plan on trying again and think part of my problem was I was going through 3 layers and the other was I didn't wind the bobbin tight enough. I tried it over and over and over!

Love the cake Daniela! I also caught a few episodes of 90210 on the computer! Thanks for the reminder! I hadn't looked online since the first episode aired.

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if any one knew of this Euro Pro Brand machine and if they thought this was worth it? I am tempted by the project runway machine at walmart - this is a little cheaper, but was purchased 2 years ago from home shopping network....any opinions???

Thanks Friends!!

Im really trying to get DH to seriously consider foster/foster to adopt - do you have to apply to be one or the other? What happens with daycare for foster children? Does a foster home have to have one parent/adult stay home or can both work? Any tips or hints or ???????
