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

[PrincessKell]

So cute! How was it to make?

this top is so super easy to whip up in no time at all. I think less than an hour with cutting. I think what took the longest was just flipping it right side out! I made Georgia a size 7 and I got a yd of each fabric and was able to make a complete outfit with matching headband and have some left over to make a little drawstring purse for the Peach still have small scraps left over to save.

Its super simple and great for summer time! Gotta love no buttons or zippers. hehe

I have several from there .. they are as follows

I like them all but you can also find very cool instructions for free on the web.. just google "free hairbow instructions" and you will come up with a bunch of them .. hope this helps ..

There is a thread on here that shows you how to make some hairbows. I've been making bows for awhile but this made some things much easier for me. Hope this helps! You may have to scroll through a few pages to get to the bow making part - I can't remember.

I would look in your local phone book for sewing machine dealers. Usually sewing machine shops will offer classes. I believe that is the only place in my area that offers classes, as a matter of fact.

I need some direction! I'm am getting ready to sew my first pillowcase outfit. Do I put Wonder Under on the pillowcase before I cut it out or do I do nothing and just cut it out w/ nothing on the back??

Thanks!![/

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 find that highly entertaining! Thanks!

I'm assuming you are using the pillowcase as an applique, in which case I would iron heat 'n' bond onto the backside before cutting it out!

But make sure you use heat and bond LITE!!!!!!

Oh dang. that had to take some time to do! haha but soo cool!

What a great way to be!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!


Sorry she is squinting it is bright out today.

Next time I need to double the length of the straps! I made the top a bit bigger then the pattern called for even though she measured fine for the 5/6 in the pattern but it is ahrd to make a 5/6 for a 9 yr old!

Love it. and of coarse Peach was right behind me, Soooo guess who wants one now. haha

Hi Everyone! This is my first time posting here. I'm in the middle of planning DD4's first trip to DLR. I'm lusting after everyone's designs. Unfortunately, I'm a total novice at sewing. Luckily for DD, my mom is a great seamstress. I'm hoping that between her and you guys, I can pull off a few simple outfits for DD.

Re: Appliques. Do you think a total novice seamstress could hand applique a minnie head? I don't know if doing appliques are a more advance skill. I've seen the tutorial, but I'm wondering if I could actually pull it off.

Hi!! Where are you abouts in the Bay Area? Im in Sonoma. I think you could totally do applique minnie head, if I can do it, you can do it!! Give it a try.

Okay ladies, here's my big huge accomplishment from sewing 101!

I made a glasses case! lol!

Actually it was pretty cool, I took my own machine so she showed me a few things on it. We started out practicing turning on corners and sewing a circle. Then she had us put all our skills to use and make this case! Rather than just have us go through all the skills, it was fun to ACCOMPLISH something, and by the end we'd learned some basics of sewing, quilting and applique!

Yes, I know it's pretty hideous. I picked a "decorative stitch" that looks NASTY! I told my husband it was a gift from me to him and since it was a gift he would have to keep it FOREVER and use it ALL THE TIME.

Sorry for the delay in posting, we took the boys to the graduation party of one of their (bio)relatives. I was glad they went, we met two of their half-siblings for the first time!

You did a great job and the fact that you are making your hubby use it for all time is fabulous! But seriously, you did awesome!

Oh goody!! I have HEAT and Bond LITE so YEA!!!!

TRANSFORMERS APPLIQUE -

I know a few of you have posted them, and I think someone did recently. I checked in the photo bucket account and didn't find it, and I looked on the last 15 pages of the last thread and this whole one. Maybe I just missed it, but I would love for you to post again!

THANKS!

Any takers

Well, if I get my behind going and open an etsy shop AND actually sell something, maybe I can come next year! Or in 2 years when both of our cars are paid off!

I do my T's the same way you do. I iron a line down the front of the T and just line that up with the little lines on the hoop. I have been using a piece of cut away stabilizer, stitch out the outline of my design (and actually stitch out anything that looks like it might be a problem) and put little marks where the marks on my hoop are. Then I just align that on the T to get my side markings for the hoop. I also prefer to make my own tops so I can do the embroidery then make the top. Makes life so much easier!!

Oooh.. That is awesome that you will pay off 2 vehicles in 2 years. I'd imagine you will definitely have alot more play money then! I just bought the kwik sew book that has a t shirt pattern in it. Too bad I don't have any knit fabric to make one with..

This is the one I'm talking about: http://www.brother-usa.com/Homesewing/accessories/accessorydetail.aspx?R3AccessoryID=SA434

I need to send that link to my cousin and see what she thinks about it. She said something about the Rose one sliding, so I'm wondering if it is a different kind. It sounds like this one does have to be broke up into 4x4s.

I've seen people call those endless hoops. Some designs have markings in them to use that type of hoop and you just line up the markings. I don't think you could do applique with that one. You could do outlines like I saw on facebook though. Just skip the tackdown steps. She'd just have to shrink them about an inch and they'd fit. You need to use that embroidery machine! You will love it!

Wow! You did a great job. I don't know that I've ever sewn a circle. I am guessing they were teaching you how to applique? That is really neat. I think the decorative stitch looks good. I'm going to work on your crayon roll ups next week.

Here is what I worked on this afternoon. I made this for Hannah when she was about 2 years old, and it still fits. I just let the hem down and did my coverstitch and put the big rick rack on. I always make big hems so I can let them down. This was the first digitizing I had ever done. I used Kanga and roo that someone gave to me, and they stitched out horrible. That is one scarey thing when you are embroidering characters onto 1 piece of fabric! No way I was starting over on that back skirt piece.
Tomorrow is Super Hero day at church, so I thought this was fitting.
Now I am kicking myself that I didn't take the opportunity to make a Larry Boy outfit. Oh, and if you look closely the rick rack that is sewn into the bodice is frayed and coming out. This is why I don't use that kind of rick rack anymore. Hopefully my clover iron will get all of those wrinkles out. I am a southern girl, but I HATE ironing.

I'm pretty sure the one Lori used was from Stitch on Time. I could be wrong, but I think so..

Those look like the same thing to me. Are they different?

KIRA - that's cute! Great save - so cool that you've been able to use that dress for so long!

I've never seen rick rack do that! I've had ends fray before if I didn't heat seal or serge them, but I've never seen the middle of the rick rack do that. Strange. You've never had the other kind that you use do this?

LOL I goofed on copy/paste...fixed it now!
