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

[minnie2]

Thanks Marlo! I think Nik needs both!

I just convinced her of that! I told her the 1st one can be all fancy Sleeping Booty with the stain material and the 2nd one will be an appliqued shirt with a double layer twirl or something like that!

I actually love it! I think the ruffle would be really cute in the black with hearts you used on the bodice. I do think a red ribbon sash with a fabric daisy on it would be cute. Just use the button center to attach it to the ribbon. I have made fabric daisies before:

My DD's always go to BBB when we go to Disneyworld. One year they had princess dresses I bought in the park (the night before at WOD because I wasn't sure they'd have their sizes in stock at BBB) and once in mom-made princess themed outfits. They actually got much more attention in the outfits I made and that made them feel even more special because they didn't look just like all the other girls there.

I have the Brother from Walmart and I love it! It has seen a lot of miles!

Love the fabric daisy!
Oh and LOOk how pretty Lily is! I adore that outfit!

I bought the Janome Juno 3434d from Hancock's. I've just started really using it and I love it! The directions aren't difficult to interpret and now that I've threaded it myself once, I've got the hang of it. I'm still playing around with it. But, so far, I've been very satisfied. It was $199 at Hancock's and I bought it when they were having a sale. I think I paid like $150 for it. I can't remember.

I ahve been going back and forth between the Brother and the Janome. I am leaning towards the brother because I just really like my brother Emb machine even if it has a baby hoop.

Cindee, Morgan looks so adorable in all those picture. My has she grown!
Any cance Come November you would like to meet me and Cathy at WDW. Cathy and I are still working out the details of when and where but I know I would love to meet you guys!

Hi,
REVROB, Do you have any info on the name of the striped fabric or the collection the fabric is from you used on the asian dress??? Love it, but when I searched for michael miller striped, I got a TON of choices.
thanks,
Christi

The selvage says that the fabric is called "polly paisley" hope that helps!

Hi, I know someone asked a while ago for a Vida tute...did I miss it? Can someone please point me in the right direction???
Thanks,
Christi

Hi Christi! Jenimat said she alread had taken pictures and was going to post the tute so I didn't post mine. I'l post one tomorrow if she doesnt.

Thanks for all the suggestions for a serger. I think I'm leaning towards the brother, of course it is out of stock at Walmrt.

I need to replace my Singer and most likely will get the Brother. The Singer is a good starter serger. I just have worn it out!!! I am not sure what serger Jess has but I know she likes it a lot. Also, Dawn loves her serger. It's a huskylock. I think she found a great deal on

Have fun shopping!!

I have the brother from walmart too, 1034d. I ordered it online from them but amazon also had it for I think a few $ cheaper.

 

[Rebecuberduber]

I did it! I did my first applique!!! (Can you tell I"m proud of myself?) It came out really good, too! Well, I mean, there's certainly area for improvement, but I expected it to be a total mess my first time. Heather's tut made it so easy, though! Thank you, Heather! I just gotta sew up the dress, now, and then I can post pictures!

Does any one have any tips on sewing with satin? I don't have a serger YET so do you think just overcase the edges would be ok?

Be careful with satin. Zigzagging the edge will often make the fabric fray and curl and do bad things. Make sure your needle is sharp, I have snagged Joann's satin using a dull needle.

If you would like to see what has kept me away from the thread for so long....come peek at my new house (especially if aren't on FB so you haven't already seen my pics on there!)

I put them in the PTR...link in my siggie.

Where did you find such a big print of Cinderella for the front of that beautiful outfit? Where does everyone else find theirs? Sheet sets?

Ok so how do I stop the fabric from fraying?

Are you appliquing or sewing? If sewing you can use pinking shears to cut down on the fraying. Stich your seam and then pink the edge (not to close to the seam) like 1/4 inch away.

Totally OT but I know someone here will understand.

I made our ADR's right away in the morning on our 90 days out. The first day, when we get there, we booked the fantasmic dinner package. We'd wanted Mama Melrose but had to go with Hollywood and Vine to get fantasmic with it.

Today I called to see if it were possible (on a very slim off chance) to push back the dining until later that evening (just in case something goes horribly wrong with our flights, etc). Now they are telling me that:

1. We were never booked for Fantasmic, just dinner (at a restaurant we didn't really prefer to eat at any way)

2. There is nothing available at all now.

I just want to cry. I know that sounds stupid. But we have NEVER seen this, and it was how we were going to kick off the first night of our celebration trip.

I'm also tired of this woman on the phone (I refuse to call her a CM, she isnt' acting like one) arguing with me about what I did. I'm sorry someone there obviously dropped the ball the first time and did not enter it correctly. I but distinctly remember the conversation when booking it because 1. we had to change restaurants for it and 2. we had to give our credit card number, and I had a long convo with that CM about giving it since we were on the dining plan, and I didn't realize that was how it worked.

You don't really find a lot of Craftsmans in Massachusetts either! It was a rare find. Even in this economy, there were 31 showings in the 4 days it was on the market. We had to make an offer the day we saw it and ended up in a bidding war for it with 3 parties!

The yard space is what is really rare here. Tough to find a backyard that big. So we gave up house space for the yard. But that's fine with me. Randy does the yard work and I don't like to clean

I LOVE your new house! Lots of love and happiness in it!

Thank you!!! You didn't actually look again did you!?! I'm just boring you now!

This is exactly why I'm a crazy person and call to confirm my ADRs the week before.

That totally stinks. i know this is very much against Disney rules of etiquette but maybe you could have one adult and the older kids go snag some seats early (if you get there 1/2 hour- 45 minutes early, you'll still get a good seat) and you wait for awhile to join them with the little ones????

I am so so so sorry!!! I have no advice for you. I wish I did. The same thing happened to us last spring. They did not book my DD for the Wonderland Tea Party or the Pirate Cruise. She had to watch all the kids go to the tea party and did not understand why she was not invited. It broke my heart. Luckily she was able to go a few days later.

I would just call back and try again. Good Luck!

I am so sorry about the ADR mix-up! I have a suggestion for you. On our last trip I didn't want to do the Fantasmic dining pacakge (it takes a lot of time and you still have to get there early or they give away your reserved seats). We went early and got dinner from the CS food stands across from Fantasmic (there are a few different ones) and then took our trays of food into Fantasmic area to get seats and we ate dinner while waiting for the show to begin. This insured us getting seats but kept us busy while we are waiting and we didn't waste more touring time by eating before going in. We weren't the only ones doing this. When we were done, one of the adults took the trays back out. I know this doesn't make it better but maybe this would work for you guys. Good luck!

Sorry! So do you ahve earlier ressies and are just nervous about missing them? If that is the case keep your earlier ressies I ahve heard that even if you are late they can squeeze you in. At least that is what we where told when we waited for EVER for Chef De France. We had ressies but alot of people who happened to be late got in before us because there ressies where earlier but they showed up very late!
