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

[MinnieVanMom]

Ok one more thing and I will shut up...

I don't think embroidery machine and inexpensive can be in the same sentence!

That is so funny and true.

 

[livndisney]

Awww thanks Cindy...can you iron that on a tee????

Maybe I should EDIT my post!



Did you notice I was the person at the meet WITHOUT the iron on Mickeyhead? lol

 

[KARAJ]

Have ya'll seen these?

I just found them today and I'm in love with them. I need to start saving for a machine that will do this. Anyone have any reccs on an inexpensive/beginner model that will do these applique patterns? I'm in love with WAY too many of them...

Those are really neat!

I also was wondering where you get the clear transfer type paper for your HotFix stuff? I looked at Wal-Mart and realized I had no idea what to look for...But I do not think they had it anyways.

Shiring is gathering with elastic thread. You use normal thread in the top of the machine and use the elastic thread in the bobbin and do a long straight stitch. The elastic "gathers" the fabric.

Gotcha.

I'm Jessica, and I probably won't be able to shir. And also, I didn't know there was elastic thread. About that pre-school thread...

Crystal,
Because you asked for it, here is my new hair cut. It is a lob but DS didn't get the picture of the back very well. He did great with the front picture.

Is anyone interested in ordering some Pokey Little Puppy fabric from a co-op?
I just realized it is ending tonight and alot of the prints won't make it.
Here is a link to the co-op.

Oh, and if one of you mentions that Kira sent you I get a 1/4 a yard of free fabric. Right now I have 3 fat quarters.
She also has an Alice in wonderland fabric buy that just started.

Sorry for the drive by. Need to catch up on todays posts after dinner!

You can order it by the foot at hotfixqueen.com . It was the cheapest place I found (though please understand I didn't do a totally thorough search so it may be cheaper elsewhere)

Here's what I used, the cut if for you in a continuous sheet and you just cut off how much you need from it each time:

Ugh I see now it's out of stock right now. If you don't want to wait for it there's some on ebay.

It will be a few days before I'm working on stuff again. With two pain shots today, a pain cream, some pain pills and a sling to wear occasionally, I can't see me getting out the tweezers and placing tiny studs anytime soon. I never knew it was such a dangerous pasttime!

dd would desperately like bride & groom Mickey and Minnie ears for their Disneyworld honeymoon. I would love to have them for her at her "Happily Ever After" themed shower.

Anyone...If it's possible to pick them up for me and ship them to me next time
you're in the World, would you PM me please?

If not, I'm sure I can call DelivEars, right? or is there another Disneyworld merchandise # I can call?

Thanks for the assistance!

Let me know what you want, I can run down to Disneyland whenever you need it! I just found out that I can get a really yummy corn dog at disneyland AND that I can get a MonteCristo Sandwich outside of the Blue Bayou. I need a reason to go to Disneyland before June 5th (DD's birthday and next time we are suppose to be going)

Wow, did this day go by quickly! Im pretty sure Im going to miss some comments

-Love Lilly's new shirt- GREAT colors for her!

Reflexology-My first time experiencing this, about 5 years ago I loved it, felt like my whole body got a massage and its interesting because she picked up on "congestion in my lung area" and it turned out I had severe allergies and asthma and didnt know it yet. The whole experience was really relaxing.

Yesterday was pretty different. She started with a little bit of relaxing stuff on my head and shoulders, and then moved to my belly- very gently touching certain areas, then my legs- i was all prepared for me gentle and relaxing- she touched some spot on the inside of my ankles and lower calf- HOLY MOLEY it HURT!! She said it's the main such and such that connects to my uterus. Yeah-well it felt like she was digging in to a bruise.
I had lots of braxton hicks and baby activity for the remainder of the evening, to the point where I wondered if it would progress, the braxton hicks were much more intense than anything I've felt before.

But, Im still here typing, so Im still pregnant.

Gorgeous today!!

I took some photos, did this in April for DD, dont think I've posted it...



This is the outfit for my niece's birthday -first time I've made anything for someone else, I hope it fits!

Here is the easy fit made up as "bloomer" style shorts- this is a Moda check and has such a soft hand to it! I'll be making a regular short for Megan out of this fabric






I dont know why the photo doesnt show it better, plenty of sun, these fabrics are a collection and all match

Got to use one of my tags!


It was so nice out, I sat outside while Megan rode her new Trike and I took some pics of all the pretty flowers- I love photographing wild animals and flowers, etc...
These were practically dying 2 years ago, then we cut down 2 big maples in our yard and life came back!

Not wild....my senior citizen catching some rays

another affect from cutting down the trees- I've never seen these grow here

Boaz, hanging in the sun

Heres a wild animal- and rare too- seeing DD in a tshirt and jeans!


I'm thuroughly disappointed with these photos, they look washed out...
Here is my Pooh - still needs the outer border (another 3" in a different purple)
This was basically my first applique, other than the monster tshirt I did that came out really bad


This quilt was a challenge for me since the quilt was sooo heavy and I had to rotate the entire thing for each piece I appliqued- no way to work on smaller pieces and then attach

Not sure if I posted this when I made it- I love this fabric

What a pretty day! Love your cat, he looks like mine!! And he loves to lay in the sun too. Today there was a strange new cat outside looking at him. They just stared at each other... my dogs on the other hand were definitely egging them on as they barked & barked.

Nice to finally see the Pooh quilt! Its cute, but I think it was way too much work for you!

Crystal,
Because you asked for it, here is my new hair cut. It is a lob but DS didn't get the picture of the back very well. He did great with the front picture.

So cute!!!

What do you think about the alice in wonderland? Its too small for my really old eyes to get a good look at it!

My Granny was sent home from the nursing home this last week. (She is the one that had the stroke). We are still trying to figure out how and why she was sent home. My mom has been taking care of her, but my mom works full time. She has a nurse during the day. Granny can't really do much of anything for herself. So last night, she went back to the ER. Not sure what was going on...her heart rate was up, her sugar was way out of wack...

The DR at the ER asked why she was not in the nursing home...ummm....that is what we all want to know! So we are hopeful we will get her back in the home...the DR said he will do all he can. So please pray for her again....I know all the prayers here help!

Prayers for your granny!

Well today is mine and George's anniversary! You ask what are we doing? NOTHING! UGH! oh well I guess it is a treat in it self to be together for 19 (we where a blind date 19yrs ago today)yrs and married for 15(we where married 15 yrs ago today on Friday the 13th).

Happy Anniversary Marlo and George! Wow..19 years..that is wonderful!

I'm sorry I haven't been on since my first post. My internet was down, but finally an at&t guy came and fixed it! Yea! I wanted to say thanks to all the ladies who welcomed me! I had a great Mothers Day. My hubby got me my first dslr! It's a Canon XS. I'm so excited. Just trying to figure out how to use it. But my kids got me my newest obsession! Some more patterns from ycmt. I love that site! I got the twirl skirt pattern, and the faith dress top pattern. I'm so excited to try these out. The twirl skirts are my favorite! But I need to make a stop at Joann's first. So I probably won't get to try them out until sometime this weekend. I know I introduced myself but I don't think I really told you anything about me. I have a soon to be 3 year old son named Ethan. His bday party is in 2 weeks and thats all he talks about. Thomas, Thomas, Thomas. Yes we have a Thomas freak in the house! lol... Then I have a 15 month old perfect little girl named Makenna. She's just learning to walk, but loves to climb on everything, so she's keeping me on my toes. Our newest addition is our little girl Callie. She is only 7 weeks, and I'm breastfeeding her. It's hard to juggle them since their all so young and all need my attention. I'm just trying to get back in the groove of things. I love having a schedule and since we've had Callie, there has been no schedule! I can't wait until things settle down. Anyways I hope to be back soon to show you some cute things I made! Wish me luck! I've never sewn a skirt before! I can't wait!

Welcome Jennifer...can't wait to see what you make.

Hi Ladies! It's been a while since I've last chatted with you! I got a new machine for Mother's Day! Its a Husky 955E. I haven't even open the embroidery unit yet! I made a Maternity top with it so far. I decided that when I get pregnant again, I'd like to make some of my own things. What is the trick to darts? Mine don't look right.

Hi Alicia..it's good to see you here..and yay on the new sewing/embroidery machine.

Crystal,
Because you asked for it, here is my new hair cut. It is a lob but DS didn't get the picture of the back very well. He did great with the front picture.

You look great, and I think I lost the other quote but I love the dress that you made. I have never made anything for myself.

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

Those are really cute!!

I am really loving that pattern...and love, love that fabric!

Love all the pictures, the outfits, and that quilt is beautiful, and that was your first applique? You did a great job!

 

[Stephres]

Maybe I should EDIT my post!



Did you notice I was the person at the meet WITHOUT the iron on Mickeyhead? lol

You weren't the only one. I left my mickeyhead stuck to my iron. And that was after Heather printed it out and sent it to me!

 

[sweetstitches]

Here is one. Well, 2. Not a good shot of the back, but it's shirred. A good summer Lilo. Leaf skirt over a green skort.

I'm over a hundred posts behind again, and don't know how much I'll be able to catch up tonight, but I just had to post on this one--it's awesome!



Also, thanks for all the prayers; all the moles were benign.

 

[jham]

Hmmm...where'd my quotes go?

If you want to look at all of Jennifer's pretty fabrics, go to www.sisboom.com I have bought it on etsy. Usually etsy shippers are really fast. Some fabric sellers there live in the next town over from me and I get fabric the next day!
April, I love the haircut!

ibesue, WHAT???? You JUST found out about the corndogs? Those are some good corn dogs!

 

[twob4him]

You're laughing, but I still don't know how to shir or what it means...

You actually know what it is but you don't know you know.....see how this cute dress has rows of gathering across the top....that is "shirring"....like on tube tops and such...it makes them oh so comfy too!!!

Yeah, that is why I am looking for an excuse to go, I heard the are so good!

Goodnews..... literally today DisneyShopping.com started selling park merchandise. I am sure they will be adding more, but it looks like bride and groom mouse ears are already on the site:

oh, you are bad! I need all that stuff! They even have the castle legos.

 

[jessica52877]

Why are you'll so chatty on days I have to sew! I have not really been taking real computer breaks minus the 10 secs here and there and I just had to scroll through a zillion pages!

The pooh quilt is so cute! What a great job for your first quilt and applique! Quite a large project to tackle, especially being so pregnant!

I went through one whole spool of elastic trying to shir. I was trying to shir through 3 layers and wondered if that made a difference. I have a spool left but haven't had the time to even think about it again.

I can do an iron on though! I can even walk while changing my shirt and Disney World and no one notice!

I finished the most adorable dress today and can't wait to share pictures! it will be a while though! Got a few more to go so back to the machine!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Bonita,

I have the unruffling the ruffler on the computer upstairs and the sewing table downstairs. I ran up and down, up and down to figure out how to attach the dang thing. Then back up to follow instructions to make it work.

Well after just two simple tries, I got it to make a nice ruffle It isn't hard but takes time and a lot of patience.

I am trying to make a skirt for Delany for the big give. No pattern, just an idea in my head with a lot of ruffles. I thought why not give the ruffler a try that Bonita gave me.

I am going to keep with practicing before I commit to the outfit. Thank you so much for the ruffler and when you want it back just let me know.

 

[Tinka_Belle]

Does anyone have the Little Kimmy doll from SWAK? I was wanting one for Jenna, but my hoop isn't big enough. Would anyone be willing to help me out?
