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

Speaking of HeatherSue do you know if she (or anyone else on this board) stiches the design and sells it as an applique (for those of us that do not have the machine. There are a few on ebay they are not to pricey but they are very limited.

Thanks.

I have asked her and she said she is too busy digitizing right now to do it. I thought Shannon (RevRob) had mentioned it at one point, but I don't know if she ever got around to doing it.

I would be interested as well!

Oooohhhh...me too...me too...me too! Number one on my list is a serger...embroidery machine has to fall to number two!

I look through Heathersue's and they are just soooo cool. Oh RevrRob where are you?

I had talked about doing this a little earlier, and then actually had some people inquire about the possibility and then decided that they would rather not do this. That kinda left a negative response in my mind about the prospect of this idea.

I have done these for myself, and I really like the way they stitch up. I have a design that is on it's way to someone to be stitched as a patch onto a garment. I want to make sure that this will work out perfectly for everyone. If you have a specific design that you're interested in a patch for, please PM me and I'll work with you on an individual basis.

I have TONS of designs that this will work on! HeatherSue's designs work FANTASTICALLY for these patches!

I'm in rare form - I have the worst sunburn of my life too. I had to venture out today looking for a lidocane spray for some relief. Hobby Lobby was on the way to Target.

FrankenGoofy is on the pantleg of the boys set. The other pantleg says Not So Scary but it didn't photograph well. Here's a closeup

Those outfits are awesome! LOVE the FrankenGoofy! LOL

Anyone making anything for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party yet? We just booked our December trip, so I'm ready to make some outfits for my girls! I just need some ideas!

I made these last year....

I haven't started on this year's yet.

This was last year's Halloween....

I love the holidays, and can't wait to get started. I haven't sewn much lately. I was having trouble with my eyes and had to wait for an eye appointment and my glasses to come in. I'm still getting used to them, but hope to be back in full swing soon.

Wendy, lost your quote!

I pull it tight from the front and the back as I feed it into the machine. Check out my blog for a picture. Good luck!

THanks Steph - what width do you set your stitch on? Do you want the zig zag to go over the edge or ???? Have you ever used a serger to do it?

That picture of little Megan was ADORABLE!! How old was she then? She did look little!!

I had never been to the scrubs section in Walmart before as I am an office manager and never had the need, but they are rearranging our Walmart cause of an expansion and I happened to walk thru. I think it must have been a popular top, cause the only size left was the XS. They had lots of other Disney stuff there, but most was $19 and this one was $10.

I saw a scrub top at WalMart that I really wanted for the fabric, but only about 1/3 of the top used the fabric and the rest was solid color. I just couldn't spend $20 for that little of fabric... of course as our trip gets closer and I start doing more sewing for the trip I may change my mind

Sunday we went to the Dog Show... here's my daughter in the complete outfit I posted a couple of weeks ago. And she loved the hat! Wouldn't take it off and has worn it ever evening since.

I'm hosting a giveaway on my blog as part of a Pay It Forward Giveaway. Please stop by and enter (drawing ends Sunday night)

I want to play the halloween and christmas game! Those are my favorites! But I am way too tired to even think about finding pictures. The halloween have been seen a million times anyways but the christmas I am not sure how much I ever posted. I know I finished up a few the night before we left!

Hmm, I guess I do need more detail. I set it to the smallest stitch, on the cheap Kenmore that is "1." You go over the edge, like you were finishing a seam. I know you can do it with the serger but it involved taking out the blade and a needle and I was too askeered I wouldn't be able to put them back in properly!

Soooo cute! I love that she wouldn't take the hat off, I always have the opposite problem. She is just adorable!

Here is the back but her hair is in the way.

Thanks for positng this. now I can finish the dress. I may do the criss cross or straight down, whichever works out!

I've heard they do this character m&g in the animation building now, mostly on non-Fantasmic nights around 5 and 6. We didn't make dinner ADR's so we could hang out and see........ Mary Poppins will be in our bag that day too!

When we went in April we went animation and saw the peguins, bolt characters, incrediable, milificant fantasmic and there had been more but some had already left

I have my serger all fixed, fabric pre washed and chosen for outfits. I'm actually starting on outfits tonight. I had to post a pic of Emily in an outfit I just purchased for animal kingdom. It's so cute!

Then, these are what I have picked out for Snow White using CarlaC Simply Sweet:

And a patchwork twirl dress...there is some tink fabrics and a minnie mouse one...not sure if I'll embroider on it or not. Right now I'll just be happy to make something:

And of course a Minnie Mouse simple simple simple sundress:

And last but not least, and not a bit Disney but that's ok because I love the fabrics, a little pillowcase dress using Jham's tutorial:

Wish me LUCK! Do you think I can get all these done in less than 5 weeks?? Please, if you've gone on marathons or sewn several dresses in a short time, I'd love to know as I find it encouraging.

Your dd looks adorable in the dress. I had to laugh b/c I had that one bookmarked as a favorite. I didn't purchase it though b/c I *think* I can make something similar. But do want to compliment you on your taste in clothing!

LOL I just happen to have my old Stretch-n-Sew book laying here beside me. Here is what it says: To ruffle (lettuce edge), set your sewing machine for a wide zigzag with a very short stitch length, so that stitches are extremely close together. Stitch along folded edge, stretching the ribbing edge hard while stitching. Stitches will extend over the folded edge and give a finished effect. NOTE: It is also possible to ruffle 50% stretch fabric on a cut edge or and edge turned under 1/4 inch.

Hope that helps.

My serger workbook says this:
3 thread rolled lettuce edge.
Use 3 thread rolled edge. Use serger thread in the needle, a decorative thread in the upper looper and serger thread in the lower looper.
Serge onto the fabric, trimming fabric slightly. Grasp the thread chain behind the presser foot and the fabric in front of the presser foot and stretch. Serge the fabric edge trimming the fabric. When fabric is released, the edge will lettuce or ruffle. Note: If necessary, adjust the width knob to a higher number or wider stitch to allow more fabric to be rolled into the stitch.

I adore the spider Mickey heads! I think I need to plan an October trip for 2010 (though doubt I'll ever get dh to do Disney again -- he's overall anti-Disney ).

This question is OT and not really related to sewing so please forgive me....but I am looking for something different/cheaper for my kids autograph books. In the past I have let each of them have a 7x7 creative memories album with a TON of pages in it and they get a TON of autographs!!!!! So the character signs one page and then on the opposite page I put a picture of them with the character and scrapbook around it to match the character. My kids love those books, but it does get to be costly with all of those pages and albums and they are rather cumbersome to carry around. My kids love those albums though. So I thought all of you crafty people might have another idea. I haven't been able to find other albums that extend that big. Any ideas? Thanks!

I have been debating over the same issue and finally decided I don't want to go through the expense of making dd a scrapbook album (Disney embellishments are too pricey). So after a couple of weeks of agonizing I have decided to do a digital photo book. I am currently in the process of making 4x6 pictures with character photos covering one side of the photo and a colored area with the character name on the other side. I just googled a search for character photo and found a nice Flicker site with Disney characters -- some can't be copied, but some can. And many have family members in the pictures so you have to weed through a lot of photos. I will likely download my creations to Shutterfly or Snapfish and make a photo/autograph book that way.

In addition, I bought a small hardcovered sketchpad that will be my ds's autograph book. He detests characters, so I'll get that autographed *for him* and then take those sheets out and use those in compiling my own scrapbook. I doubt I will decorate those pages in advance, but my dd should get some attention with her book. DD will want a book or her own to look at post-trip and I want autographs for my scrapbook, so I think that will work out in the long run.
