Disboutiquers Part 15 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[InkspressYourself]

Okay, I know this topic has been going around for a while, but I have a few quick questions before I go out and by this.
I inherited a Bernina Deco 500 (or 550) Embroidery Machine from my SIL's MIL (long story). I haven't actually used this yet - too busy making outfits and figuring out my serger!! Anyway, it takes those little memory cards, so I can't hook up directly to my computer, but I of course love the embroidery designs I see on here.
I found a website that has the PED basic with a card for $119. It says it works on Bernina Deco, and that you must have the files in PES. The Deco has two different sizes of hoops, although I am not sure of their exact sizes. Does anybody use anything like this?? I could just buy, for example a HeatherSue design, transfer it to the card and sew it out??
Also, does anyone know where you can get this cheaper? I thought someone said they got theirs at JoAnns with a 40% coupon??

Thanks for the help!!

I bought mine at Joanns with a 40% coupon, but I had to do it online. They don't carry them in any stores around me. They don't always have it in stock on line, so sometimes when I would search it wouldn't even come up as a choice to buy. I was excited that they had one in stock and I had a coupon at the same time. I haven't used it yet though.

How about making a paper (or fabric) sleeping bag with a pillow on it (either out of paper or just glue a flat piece of fabric for the pillow). Inside the sleeping bag insert a cut out cardstock paper doll (as best you get to resemble an AG) and put the time/date/details on the doll. The recipient would slide the paper doll out of the sleeping bag to read the invite.

I love this idea. Can I copy it for my youngest dd's next birthday?

Here is what I have been working on yesterday and today. Thank you Lisa for the tip about serging, then iron, then stitch for a hem! It made the hem on the ruffle so much easier. I cased the idea of using the minnie dot fabric with a tiered dress like this. Oh, and this is the first time I did buttons. I put them on the back so they would not mess anything up. I am glad I finally tried it! Next up, a zipper!

A little bit of twirl:

Thanks for all the great comments on the patchwork dress!

I love this.

We're going back in September and here is a sneak peek at some of the new customs I have for the trip. There will be too many for that trip but we will have seasonal passes so I plan to do lots of day trips. We may go back for a weekend in October, definitely a day trip in Nov. for my birthday, sometime in December and we are taking Gracie for at least a day on her 4th birthday in January. How can she be closing in on 4?

We didn't get to use this one last year.

I have a few others on the way too.

We are going in Sept. too. I'm going to keep an eye out for your dd. She is gorgeous. I really am in love with the Mulan outfit.

My Diamond fell out of my wedding ring
I was cleaning the carpet last night and I took my ring off but I didnt notice it was gone unil this morning when I went to put it on.

I'm so sorry.

Thanks..but it's been quite a few months so I've kinda lost hope. Maybe when we take everything out to move?

I think maybe Phin was just trying to tell us he was here to stay. When my husband had the wedding band made, he had three stones placed in it- one for each of the girls, as he was "marrying" ALL of us and we were ALL becoming a family:

So maybe Phin knew something we didn't and he wasn't going anywhere, so he was telling us we needed to go get one with FIVE stones now!

That is so sweet that your husband said that. I can't wait to see your new ring.

Kyle helped me with mine a few yrs ago I dug there 4 bags of garbage and NOTHING I was devastated. The My DH remembered Kyle loved to stick his little people in his subwuffer on his computer.

That's so funny. My oldest daughter used to stick things in the subwuffer. The first time we saw her do it we pulled 5 other toys out of it

Toadstool-

I did not make the Steamboat Willie but that is the set that inspired me. Angel and I both bid on it but she bid first. I am not sure she would have left me win it!!!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!! I am so excited!!!! I just ordered my new sewing machine for WAlly's World yesterday afternoon (late afternoon) and it is on truck for delievery today!!!! I can't believe it!!!!

 

[disneylovinfamily]

There is a crochet section over on sewforum. I am sure they'd know where you saw it. They are crochet addicts.
It wasn't on you can make this huh? I've seen some cute stuff there, but don't remember frankenstein.

Thanks, I just posted a message over there

Making bottle caps. Any advice?

I want to make a bottle cap to match a bow I want to make. Do I just use some f the ribbon on the bottle cap and use a type of epoxy to seal it or is it harder? Should I just order one already made that I found?

 

[tricia]

Really Cute. You have been doing some great stuff.

well, the good news is i got 7 pairs of flip flops done. the bad nwes isi burnt a finger so bad it blistered,,,

And on being so close to the final adoption date.

Crud the doctor just called to let me know I have swine flu! Told me to rest for the next 7 days.... doesn't he know I leave for Disney World in less then a month and I have lots of sewing to do!

Oh My, better follow doctor's orders. Don';t want to still be sick for WDW.

Holy cow! That child must have a second bedroom just for clothes. but seriously, love everything, the Snow White and the Mulan are my favourites.

Good job.

I could just cry!! I just spent over an hour reading through the posts from the last 24 hours and commenting on everything. Then, I accidentally shut the window! UGH!!!!

There have been so many cute things posted!

I love Aimee's NBC stuff

The Nemo dress is adorable!

Gracie's outfits are FABULOUS!

The stripwork jumpers and AG doll dress are SO cute! Plus, the canopy bed reminds me of the bed Teresa and I used to have!

Phineas and Ferb's Pooh shirts for CP made me all teary-eyed!

I know there was more, but I don't have time to go back and redo my multi-quote!

Are you okay??? Is your house still standing?

So nice to see you posting Gracie's customs again! I can't believe how big she has gotten. You have fabulous taste and they are all so gorgeous! I think the Snow White and Mulan are my favorites.

I've been so wrapped up in getting ready for the trip, I just realized when I posted and the tickers caught my eye...three weeks from tomorrow Phineas and Ferb will be my sons, officially, forever, and always!

I am just so proud!!!!

I have suspected something was on Morgan's mind the last few days.

She just shared with me what she is thinking-She wants to have a little "walk a thon" to raise money for "Her babies" still at her baby house in China. Her goal is to raise $200 to buy them books and toys. "Mommie, they don't have any toys! And no books either!"

I love that kid!

Very cute!

Once again, I am getting ready for work. I did wear my disney custom yesterday in honour of payroll. Karyn liked it, Michael not so much.

I did make 3 adult bibs last evening and this morning for an elderly woman and it was great to sew again!

It is Friday and just 9 short hours until the weekend. Then I have a set of curtains to make this weekend and all my sewing is caught up. We are boating on Sunday and taking mom out on the lake.

My PT job is my FT still. Take care friends

He says he'll be there when the bayou in front of my house freezes. Is that good for you?
You can get one for the great price of 7,945 dollars too. What a deal!
I can't believe people actually buy them... well what am I saying. I want to buy an embroidery machine that costs 10,000.

ALL RIGHT!!! Ok, what time of year does the bayou freeze over????


I know how much those beds cost, I've been researching them for the past 3 years or more! I want one so bad! I mean, for the girls, of course....

That is just the sweetest thing ever. DH and I have been talking about adopting a little angel from China for a few years now, but with the economy, and the kids health concerns, it's not financially viable. Hearing about your Morgan sure keeps the hope alive, though. What a wonderful girl!

Super cute! I love it!

Shannon-So CUTE!!!!!!!!!

That is so adorable! I am so impressed! It looks just like Ariel but keeps the twirly dress that the girls love. Is that flesh-colored material in the middle section? I had to look twice to see if it were fabric or not.

I would love to do a simple blue Cinderella dress with the side peplums like the ones on this dress. These are about the length I was thinking of. Did you just draw out your own pattern for the side peplums?

This is awesome!!! I can't wait to show my little Emily. The will LOVE the flesh colored belly. I know..this gorgeous dress and the darling peplum, ruffle, shells..and she'll love it because it makes her look like she's wearing Ariel's "****ie bra" as she calls it. Sigh....
