Disboutiquers Part 16 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

Did you guys see the new smiley called Noah :

Awww, I was so saddened when I read about his passing. I have his family in my prayers but its good to know that Noah is no longer in pain.

I am so upset....I was appliqueing a t-shirt with Stitch for DD12 and my machine"ate" a hole in the t-shirt. Oh well, now I can start over, I wasn't too thrilled with how it was coming out!!

I had that happen just last week!

So of course, I lost the rest of my quotes. Everything is so cute! Lori, great job with your new sets. Happy you got a new computer! We all need a mini meet up at Disneyland in Oct!

Twob4him, that outfit is sooo cute. I have made the same minnie safari design. But I did the 6X10 and when I finished, some of the stitching left raw fabric edges. She was so sweet and sent me a corrected design right away. I have been hesitant to use it! It took a couple of hours to finish the one I did!

The blue & pink dress is too cute. I love the traditional dresses!

The frankenstien sets are adorable. I need to get looking at halloween fabrics!!

The minnie dress is so fluffy and she is going to LOVE having her own petti!!

I know that there is more that I have forgotten, but know I saw it and loved it!!

Yesterday to get out of the heat, we went to Fabric Depot. Thankfully, it was air conditioned!! I could have stayed much longer, but the 3 others with me were getting a little bored. It was kind of like being in IKEA, I was so overwhelmed!! All fabric was 20% off yesterday, so I got a few things! I was so excited to see Patty Young's Andalucia fabric there!! I bought 4 differents prints. I also bought a portabello pixie pattern that I have wanted to order for a while! I just didn't want to pay shipping! AND it was 20% off too!! I really had to restrain myself!!

I just started posting here a few weeks ago and read about Noah for the first time yesterday. I will pray for his family.

I love all of the new things that have been posted. I've always been really fond of Halloween and fall, but I sew really slow. So if I wanted to make my girls something for Christmas, I should probably start now. Does anyone want to show off past Christmas dresses? I'm new here so a repost would be new to me

I bought some halloween fabric and hope to make my dd something for WDW. I love the dresses that are posted, but sometimes the dresses show more skin in the front than I would like. I'm not describing it well, but when I look at my dd straight on, I don't want to see skin on the sides of where the bodies is. Does that make any sense?

Do you think I would be better off to buy CarlaC's stripwork twirl, or simply sweet if I want to make sure there is good coverage in the front?

Congrats!! I wanted that one, but couldn't afford the extra, and my PES700ii is really close! Can't wait to see what you make!

Did you get a really great sale on your PE700 II? Even when I used the coupon code at HSN there was only around $30 difference between my machine and the PE 700II and since the dealer threw in some stabilizer, the
4x4 hoop, some bobbins and a lesson I figured it was pretty much a wash. Plus I got the satisfaction of buying it and taking it home (I was needing that immediate gratification!). I know Joann's had your machine on sale a few weeks ago at $649 but by the time I went to buy it, the sale was over and now it doesn't even look like they had the machine anymore. And honestly, I cannot figure out what the difference is between the machines except for the included Disney designs - not such a big deal to me.


Is anyone using any of their embroidery machines and running Windows Vista on their computers? I didn't realize (stupid of me) that the sewing machine wasn't compatible with Vista. Is there anything I have to do to make it work? I'm going to call the store where I bought the machine and ask but thought I might ask here as well.

I went back to look for our WDW Disney Christmas pics. I found a few.

We were only there for the weekend but she insited on wearing the dress two days.

I also found this. Where did time go? I think they were so tired that whole weekend not once did they make it into their pj's.

Morgan and I had a MUCH needed "Mommy, Daughter day" today.
We started at Target where we found the "AG" (Our Generation) ruffly vanity (that Morgan has wanted for months) on clearance for $7.12. We also found a white "princess" dress for 7.48. "Mean Mommy" refused to buy the white Tinkerbell dress at the Disney store for 50 bucks. But for 7.48, I can glue Tink to the dress and she can wear it till her hearts content. AND it is lined so it is not itchy (like the Disney store dress). Then we went to the library which has a bookstore inside. The clerk thought Morgan was so polite she GAVE her the two books she wanted to buy. Followed by a trip to Mcdonalds (which is a rare thing) for two Teeny beenies (AG's need stuffed animals). We went into a small thrift store where I found the SNOW WHITE and DOPEY sheets I have been scouring Ebay for!!!! In very good condition for less that 5 bucks!!!! Then we found a new fruit market where Morgan got watermelon, a giant tomato and "salad" for 3.18.

A wonderful day that did not break the bank! And a VERY happy little girl who is now watching Kit and asking for salad for dinner LOL. (a month ago this kid would not touch lettuce)

Thank you so much! I love them. Is the blue Cinderella dress the CarlaC stripwork jumper?

Continued prayers needed...

Thank you all for praying for my friend Keri Cain. She is still not doing well. She went back in to surgery for an LVAD and now her liver and kidney's are not working properly. She will have to have a heart transplant in order to survive but she can't be put on the transplant list until her liver & kidney's are functioning properly. Please continue to pray for my friend that everything will start working properly and she can have the transplant that she needs to survive and also pray for the angel and their family from whom the heart will have to come from. Thank you!

I saw that Noah passed away on my facebook this morning. I am in tears. That poor family. I said a prayer and asked Levi to watch for him.

Awwww!!! Big hugs to you my friend!!!

Is anyone using any of their embroidery machines and running Windows Vista on their computers? I didn't realize (stupid of me) that the sewing machine wasn't compatible with Vista. Is there anything I have to do to make it work? I'm going to call the store where I bought the machine and ask but thought I might ask here as well.

I use my machine and have Vista, and haven't had a problem. I didn't buy digitizing software, though so I don't know about digitizing and vista. Just downloading patterns that I purchase from the internet and getting them to the machine via the USB port is no problem. So, here's my confession. The local dealer would not go under $1040 for the 750D, there's no way I was paying that much right now, I just don't have it. I asked my DH to buy me the Joann's one, but he and my mom found the same one from Mr.Vac and Mrs. Sew online where the machine was $50 more, but then for an extra $150 it came with a lot of extras; 144 prewound bobbins, 61 1000meter cones of 50wt embroidery thread, huge roll of stabilizer, sock hoop, cap hoop, and 3 CDs with 14,000 designs.

They surprised me with that one I've now used it with designs from the machine, from the CD's, from purchased designs, and everything (so far) has worked perfectly. I've done, I think, about 20 designs on the machine and have had one thread break. FWIW, they still have the machine available w/ the "grandslam" package at their website, and they offer free shipping, so it took 4 days to get.

I went back to look for our WDW Disney Christmas pics. I found a few.

We were only there for the weekend but she insited on wearing the dress two days.

I also found this. Where did time go? I think they were so tired that whole weekend not once did they make it into their pj's.

So, so, so cute! Love everything!

I know with the Futura they have some sort of Vista patch or something that you have to download from their website.

So I finished DD10's plaid skirt with matching shirt and I made a matching headband. Still working on my applique technique, but it's coming along.

 

[anggye]

I hope someone can help me with this. I have the brother 5000 from walmart and everytime I try to use the zigzag to applique, the bob bin thread makes a very large knot on the backside of my fabric. I have done everything I can think of, from adjusting tension to cleaning the bobbin casing. Thanks in advance.

Ireland got "Woolzy" too. It sounds like you had a good day. Ireland and Alexis love the fake AG stuff too. They each have the dolls, vanity, bathtub, horse, table with chairs and a slew of other stuff. The little gymnast outfit is cute. I told them, if they treat the Our Generation girls nice then they will score a trip to Atlanta to go to the AG store. Alexis is dying to have Gwen, I was thinking of buying her from but I think she would get more out of the trip to the store. Tell Morgan the girls say hi!! We will be at Disney from August 14-17th if you are free and want to get together...Lisa
