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

[minnie2]

You gals really know how to encourage a girl to keep sewing! Thanks so much! And, yes, I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate that fabric into something for ME! This was the first time I made the bucket hat, and I LOVE it! I may actually end up making a hat (or 2 or 10) for myself!

Shannon when you figure out what to make with that fabric let me know so I can case you!
I love that bucket hat too but i look so silly in hats. I still need to make one for Kyle he has been bugging me for one.

Yay! Congrats!

Thank you so much!!!

After working most of the week in my free time on this I finally finished Hayleigh's Alice dress. The dress is a bit tight in the bodice and I wish I would have made that bigger. All the other Carla C's were fine with size 5 but this one is more snug.

Now to working on her 4th of July dress.

This is wonderful!!! I love it.

Hi Ladies! I'm on my way to my first sewing class. Please take a moment to say a prayer for my poor instructor and wish her patience!

Awwww you are too funny. I am sure you will do fine!! Have fun and let us know how it goes

 

[MouseTriper]

Congratulations! that is fabulous news!

Thank you!! I can't wait!!!!

I'm not sure that I look great in hats, but when I'm on vacation at Disney, I usually wear one EVERY day - unless I know that I'm going to be taking specific pictures that I want without me in a hat. It's so awesome to get up and just wash/dry my hair and not have to worry with styling it. I just put on the cap and go! It's very freeing to me! I don't know that I care if it looks bad because most of the time I won't see any of the people I encounter on that day again!

I love the topiary and thank you for posting a tutorial. I just may have to make one or two of these.

I think you did an amazing job on this. It looks great.

Great dress! It's adorable!

Are you the one who posted pictures of your girls outside your house this last week? I meant to comment on the dresses and your house! The dresses were adorable and the outside of your house kind of looks like mine (the stone anyway). Are you from Texas? I'm in the Dallas area and all of the houses here kind of have the same "look" I think.

Thanks for the suggestions for my boys. I purchased the bowling shirt and easy fit pants patterns for them and the reversible wrap skirt for me. Right now I have no clothes that fit since I have been losing the baby weight. Any suggestions for a cute wrap I could make myself for Disney?

What about a wrap with Minnie dots? It would look kind of theme-ish without being over the top.

Honestly, I have no idea if I have any pictures of it. My favorite pic was from my hotel bathroom with all my BFF's and I finishing up the dress the morning of the wedding. I will need to see if DD has any pictures. Sadly, that marriage was doomed. Maybe it was the dress??

You are funny Sue!!! I hope you can find some pictures, I would sure love to see the dress! Heather and my Mom put the pearls and sequins on my wedding dress for me.

That is SO cute!! It looks to me that it fits just the way it is suppose to. It is not as loose of a fit as the Simply Sweet or Peasant dresses. If you are ever in doubt about what size to make in Carla's patterns, go by the measurements. She even gives the finished measurements size so you can see just how big it will be when you are done.

That would be really cute! I'm thinking though that it would use up a whole lot of precious Minnie Dot fabric!! I'm a Minnie dot hoarder!

Oh TAG FAIRY.........

I know some of these are from days ago but.....

Absolutely love it now. The contrast & taking the bulk out did it. Can't wait to see what top you create for it.

This is great. Emma saw this and thinks she needs it for our trip. Thanks alot!

This is adorable. I have some Fancy Nancy waiting to be used....hmmmmm

That is so amazing. I love the fabric combination. And that bucket hat with the flower is soooooo adorable. I think I must get that pattern for the girls. Where did you get the tank top?

Now that I am done with school I can concentrate on using some of the fabric I have been collecting over the past year....

thanks so much! It was really fun to create! The tank top was purchased at Wal Mart!

I was wondering how the big hoop worked with the Brother, you have to reposition it but not rehoop it. It sounds like it would be complicated! Hmm, maybe I DO need that Rose embroidery machine from my cousin!

For my machine there is a multi position hoop and a megahoop. I think that is what they are called. One is basically an endless hoop. It is just 5 by a greater number so it just increases the length of the hoop. It is meant for doing endless embroidery... like doing scallops on the embroider machine or some kind of repeating design that is continuous. The multi position hoop(i am sure it is called something else) has the thingies to put it onto the machine on both sides of the hoop and is a much larger hoop. You embroider on it in 4 sections. It requires alot of editting too. I don't think they make one for the 4 by 4 hoop though. I can't remember what they are called, but I looked and couldn't find 4 by 4.

2 Can't wait to see your designs! Even though I don't think I know where my 4 X 4 hoop even is?

3 So what about the hooping thingy? I have the same hoops! I still LOVE my big hoop!

You can do like I do and put 2 of them in the 5 by 7 and embroider them at the same time.
I was talking about the hooping system Shannon bought.

Really pretty! Did you do those appliques in the 4 by 4?? Or am I just imagining things?

Hi Ladies! I'm on my way to my first sewing class. Please take a moment to say a prayer for my poor instructor and wish her patience!

Good luck! Don't sew yourself to the machine.

Linnettes tutorial is for her "version" of a Vida, not an actual Vida. It's a little different, I didn't look at it after I made a Vida so I don't know how close to the actual directions it is.

Ah okay. I guess someone needs to make one then. I thought the Vida was super easy so never really looked for a tutorial.
Then again.. who knows.. maybe I am doing it wrong. hehe.

I think I missed your question? What were you wanting to know? Was it about the embroidery buddy? I can tell you what I know right now. Infant size shirts do not fit on it. Remember we were talking about why would you buy the tiny size? Well, now I know! I couldn't fit the shirt on it. SO, I may need to add the infant size to the list of things to buy. HOWEVER, I was able to hoop this pretty easily. I just took my time. The other thing that I learned is that the giant hoop doesn't fit on the size that I got! UGH! You know that's why I got it! SO, the one that I got will be used for kids shirts and 5x7 and smaller hoops.

Yes, I was just asking about it. Wow.. I really thought the infant size was just for sleeves and pants legs. It looked so small. I guess I forgot how small a onesie is!
I'm stalking sew its for sale for a deal on one. How frustrating that it doesn't fit the bigger hoop.

Oh my Gosh! I leave for a few days to graduate from Nursing School and it is 17 pages into a new thread....Now I have to go back and catch up!!!

Congrats on graduating! How awesome!

For any of you that buy fabric on Etsy: I just saw this link on another forum, it allows you to search by color of fabric on Etsy. Check it out! I have been playing for about 30 mins and it is so fun....But then again I am easily amused!!

Have fun.

I just realized that website is great for those of us who have trouble picking out fabrics that go together. I'm definitely going to be using that. Thanks for posting it.
