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

I got an answer from the seller, I'm not sure I understand what the serial port is though............


Here is the answer...


I haven't used the PEDesign myself. My mother-in-law did use it and seemed very happy with it. It does not have USB it uses a serial port but I don't know the number of pins required. You could probably get a converter at Fry's for a few bucks.

I turned it on to make sure it still works but the last time I used it was over a year ago (which is why I'm selling it). It has remained in it's case to protect it from the elements, my family is very big on sewing and we are very careful about how we take care of our machines.


Any other thoughts??

Thought I'd share this in case anyone is trying to think of something HP to do for the movie:

(sorry I didn't count the yellow studs!)

What do you use to attach them to clothes? What kind of "glue"?

Here are some pics of my new "studio" (We just moved so please excuse the mess..lol) Sorry for the large pics

Hotfix comes with an adhesive already on the back. You use a hot iron to make them adhere.

I do not want to be the black rain cloud but I would be very leery of buying a used sewing machine. I think having a warranty is a really smart thing. I bought my Brother PE 700II from the hsn.com. The first machine was a lemon and they exchanged no questions asked. They were really good about the whole process. It made life a lot easier. I know how hard I have been on my Viking. I would never ever want to buy that Viking from someone else.

I decided to totally do what I keep talking about and have FUN FLUFFY clothes for our upcoming trip- and Hubby is playing along (as long as the shirt is black, lol!)! I thought you all might get a chuckle about what we're wearing to the parks! (I did not sew the clothes, and thank you Heather Sue for your AWESOME appliques!!)

Star Wars Day:
My Imperial Dress:

Hubby's Shirt:

Up Day:

They all look great and I was also wondering where you got them they look really comfy for a summer dress!!

I just saw your answer on where you got them and unfortunatly there is not one near me.

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this thread and new to sewing. We are getting ready for a trip in October and I want to make something for my DD and maybe a t shirt applique for DS. I love what you do here and am excited about learning from all of you!

Thanks for posting the pics! I love seeing everyone sewing spaces. Great job getting everything in order. I hope you enjoy it!

Welcome . . . beware you can get addicted! LOL


The Latest-

Here is DD Anastasia dress. I had a few things going against me this afternoon. 1. Drizella is at camp. 2. It rained today. 3. The dress is slightly big. 4. My old camera sucks. These were s few of the first appliques I did. DD is irritated that the black Cheshire Cat is on her dress. She is right. It is clipart of the Cheshire Cat. Stitchontime designed it and I guess she used the Cheshire Cat as a base.

I could not get good pics of DD from behind. The purple fabric splits and meets in the center.

First buttonhole on this machine. I go to extreme measures to not have to do button holes. It took me like 10 miniutes to do three. So I see more button holes in my future LOL

ok, I have to share. Morgan has been a little ummmm "difficult" (Yes HeatherSue I KNOW you have a hard time believeing that). But being sick and some adoption stuff has made her not such a fun person. Anyway, I posted a few days ago the Dalmation necklace I made. I gave it to her today and told her to put it in away. She asked if she could try it on. LOL And then wore it until bedtime. I just peeked in on her....... she hung it from her mirror so it is the first thing she sees in the morning.

for my little angel, and her patient mother.

I am thrilled that you used the patches I sent!! I love that you're wearing them yourself!!! Yay!! You rock, Marah!

You two are so cute!! I'd say you have a Disney lover on your hands!

I warn you...I almost decided not to post this here...but I think good sense left and I'm putting it out for the world to see anyway...

I was at my DIL's last night helping with her second dress (still really green on the way the sewing machine works but is full of ideas - got to encourage that!) I was watching and playing with my little angelic 2 year old grand daughter...you know the kind...will NEVER be able to do wrong in her grandmother's eyes...

She, DGD2, decided she wanted me to take her potty. Being the dutiful grandmother I sat in there with her while she ...er ...went #2. (yes we have several 'potty' songs we sing to keep her occupied and on the potty. She is very impatient!) All of a sudden, she jumps up and looks to view her ...um progress. And starts screaming "Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse!!" I thought she was refering to the fact we ae using the bribe...I mean reward...of a trip to Disney if she completes potty training before we go. (to be honest she is going regardless, but she doesn't have to know that!)

Nope, she was refering to the shape of her ...er..um..the 'results' of what was in her potty! Yup...a Mickey Head!!!!

You can tell she is from me!

Oh, that is HILARIOUS!!!!!!

quick post for those who sell their things on ebay/etsy etc... Saw this article about colors from a sewing forum and thought it was interesting. One doesn't always think about the webpage colors...

http://sew-whats-new.com/group/etsysellers/forum/topic/show?id=2031451:Topic:68593&xgs=1

That is really interesting!

Thanks Kell! I got the dresses at a store called "Meijer" that we have up here in Michigan. It's pretty much a Walmart (24 hour superstore). I really didn't want to get the white ones, but they didn't have any black or red left in my size. They aren't the most flattering things but they will be cool and very comfortable!

Yes, it's like WalMart with good produce!

Hey, all! You probably don't remember me. I posted some during the winter. Anyway, got real busy and stopped sewing for a while, as well as posting on the internet. I'm back now, though, and have three sewing projects up and running. I also decided to check in on the ladies I came to love so much on the disboutique! It's good to see you guys still here and going strong! We also are planning a Disney trip in January. I'm psyched! It's a long ways away, but that's how it goes from Alaska. Anyway, I'm glad to be back!!

I remember you!! That's awesome that you're planning another trip in January.

We'll be here on the Dis until they shut us down!!

Quick question for Machine Embroidery people!!! Does anyone have a Brother Pacesetter 8500? There is one on craigslist that I'm considering but I don't know anything about the machine.... Or truth be told, anything about machine embroidery! Is there anything I should specifically look for? I found this information about the machine http://www.oksewingandvacuum.com/8500.htm any opinions? The price they are asking is really reasonable, I would have to go and pick it up so I would make them turn it on first before buying. Thanks for any help you can give me!

This sounds like a great deal for that machine! I just looked on ebay under completed items and that machine went up to $650 in an auction. But, it didn't sell because the reserve wasn't met. That one didn't come with PES basic. I saw a couple of other listings on craigslist for this machine for $800+. So, I'd say it's a good deal!

That looks very nice!! I love looking at your fabrics!!

That is SO cute!! I would love to make Tessa something with Anastasia or Drizella on it for 1900 Park Fare. Weird that she used the Chesire cat instead of the one from Cinderella. I think it looks great and your average person would not know the difference!

How old is JoJo now? Will she be in kindergarten or 1st grade? She's growing up, that's for sure! Both of those outfits are adorable!! I especially love the dot one!

 

[Tinker_]

Hey guys! I need some help! We are going to MNSSHP (the very first one!) and DS who is 3 needs a Prince Charming costume! I am not at all thrilled about the pre made ones online, and was wondering if any of you ladies could recommend someone who makes them? I have seen so cute ones with the white tops, but would like the set with the blue top and maroon pants. I looked on ETSY and EBAY- but not much luck at all! HELP! Any pictures or recommendations would be appreciated! I also sew, but can not find a pattern- and cant begin to figure out how I would do the opulets (sp?) for the shoulders.

WOW!!! SO many cool things posted lately!!!! Love the Step dress, the black & white DHS dress, the super cute Minnie outfit....... Real life has been getting in the way of me posting.

I did book a family trip to the Disney 7/29 to 8/5. Now I need to get sewing! I don't think I'll make too much-the kids still have stuff that fits and DD(10) thinks she's too old. I do want to make DD(6) an Up outfit-likely a Vida and a Buzz sundress-just a simple A-line with bias binding finish and straps. I got the comic strip Buzz fabric from fabricsgalore for that.



I did want to ask those who have used comic book boards do you use the "regular" comic book size 7 x 10 1/2? Do you think 8 1/2 x 11 "magazine" sized ones would work?

My DD will be 6 october 25. She is going into K this year. I could only find one school locally that would take a child early for K . It was a very religious school, and their academics are questionable at best. It really bummed me out b/c she was so ready for K. I really just don't agree with having an absolute age requirement.



I know that there is a meet in October, but is anyone from the Disbotique going to WDW over Thanksgiving? Our trip is Nov 26- Dec 2.

This is SO adorable!!!!! I love the pink and purple!!!

My husband just informed me that he thinks I am addicted to this board! Why yes, I am!!!! This board makes me want a new sewing machine too!!!

I finally purchased a rotary cutter (don't know why I didn't get one earlier), but I definitely need a bigger mat to cut on!

On the listing it says that it comes with PED basic. But like I said, I'm very uninformed on how the machines work. I understand hooking it up using a USB port, but if it doesn't have one I am afraid I don't understand how it works! And you know if I buy it I want to use some of Heather's designs!

I did email the seller and asked how the transfer of patterns (or whatever they are called) works. I also asked basic questions like how old is it, was it frequently used, has it been used recently to see if it works, etc.

The seller is only asking $400 so I thought it was a good deal since the embroidery space is almost 5x12.

Any other thoughts, I really appreciate it!

I think it sounds like a wonderful deal. I would of course ask that when you got there that you can turn it on and play with it for a few minutes. Take some stablizer and just stitch out a design on it to make sure it works.

I think you got your answer by now but with PED basic you'll save Heather's designs to your card and put in the slot of the machine. I have no idea what the other thing was she was talking about.
