Ok, Juliet's Mickey/Minnie dress is done! SO here she is!

That came out beautifully!

Remember when I asked who knew the rhyme "Trick or treat, smell my feet..."? Well here is the reason:

I've also been working on these for someone who gets to go to MNSSHP. I'm jealous...

Stunning!!!! I am amazed at the color/pattern combinations that you come up with. When I grow up I want to be you! (Oh crap, I'm already old, I guess it's hopeless). I also adored your NBC outfit -- again the colors in that were to die for.

Ah okay. Do you know how much of a percentage YCMT gets on each pattern? I really like collecting points.. I also like that I can redownload the pattern anytime I want. I would never find the saved pattern file..my computer is a mess. I wonder if people who sell one etsy will re-email the pattern to you if you lose it?

As a pattern seller on etsy, I am currently keeping track of the email addresses of the ones that buy from me. This is so that if I update any of the patterns my buyers will be able to recieve the updates. Also if they need another copy I will be able to verify that they bought it and will happily resend it. This will also come in handy for the future when I add more patterns. My return buyers will be able to get a discount that will be emailed directly to them.

That's what I did with photos of my painting on jeans and such.


Someone asked about the source of tshirts for blanks. I get mine from Old Navy, Target, The Children's Place and Wal Mart. My biggest complaint with these is they don't carry the same colors in toddler sizes as they do for bigger kids. Also, it's getting harder to find toddler girls' tees that are a basic tee with nothing on them. I have ordered from JiffyShirts in the past. I really liked how fast they were to ship, the great price and the variety of colors. My only issue was that the knit isn't nearly as soft as the other sources.

Adorable work! What kind of fabric paint did you use on the jeans? Did it hold up to multiple washings?

I also love JIFFYSHIRTS! They are high quality, you can read reviews right there on how they run, you DON'T have to drag your kids to the store- and they ship fast! The only thing is the shipping is a little high if you just want a few things, so I place my orders in bulk.

Hey! Can I put my Etsy ID in my siggy like my Ebay Id is???

And she wanted a silly face picture!

Now I just have to finish Joci's dress - however she informed me that she wants Minnie on the front & Mickey on the skirt when of course I have them the other way around already and everything is done except putting the ruffles on then attaching skirt to bodice. I told her I am not switching it and she will have to ask Evie if she wants to switch because their dresses are the same size.

I love it! It's gorgeous! I tell my DD that she gets creative input only until the fabric is cut, appliqued, etc. After that, it's a done deal.

That's what I did with photos of my painting on jeans and such.



I think it's a great place to get exposure. The women who run it seem to do a good job of getting the word out and keeping it new/organized. 50% seems like a lot of the purchase price but one PP fees, advertising, site maintenance and such come out, I imaging they aren't making a big profit off each pattern sold.

These are absolutely, mindbogglingly, incredible; love them, love them, love them!

I have the link if you want it feel free to pm me i would be happy to give it to you

As for points why they are a added bonus and a good thing keep in mind it take along time for them to add up. I LOVE YCMT don't get me wrong! It is a fabulous site with amazing pattern BUT the point of Carla's etsy site i think it more to get her patterns to other people who may not know about them. This way she can gain a larger audience and maybe bring other people who wouldn't sew because they thought it was to hard or what ever to the sewing world so they can see the joy we all get from it. So for that point alone I am THRILLED she is branching out! So I may not get a few point but if it helps a pattern maker or some one who is talented get more recognition I am all for it. Personally If some one is GOOD I would pay more for their product knowing more of the proceeds go to them this way they can keep up the good work and bring their talent to the masses. That is just me though

To be honest knowing what I know now, I would have rather gotten all of my patterns directly from Carla through etsy. Instead of getting $5 per pattern she would have gotten the full price.

Hey there fellow boutiquers:

Just a little cautionary tale. First many thanks to the fellow Diser who let me know etsy seller CRAFTYQUILT was using pictures from my Drizella costume listing trying to sell one to her. She actually sent photos of MY OWN DAUGHTER as well as photos of MY gown hand made by me to her saying that she had made it and would make it for her. So I posted my own want ad under another ID, and SHE ACTUALLY SENT PICTURES OF MY OWN DAUGHTER TO ME!!!!!

I have reported her to Etsy, as well as "cautioned" her myself directly. Anyone else have anything like this happen??? Any idea if etsy will do anything? I have this funny feeling I might have broken a few rules and might get thrown off myself.......

Her stuff doesn't look that great, but if you want to custom shop, avoid craftyquilt, as you will never know if the photos she uses are even her own work.

Many thanks again to my fellow Diser! It's nice to know when others are looking out for you!

That is aweful and i have heard it happening alot. That just takes guts. I am glad etsy removed the listing!

Here is another one for my baby girl. Only three dresses and ten applique shirts left. I really want to get it all done before we start school on the 17th. I homeschool so all of my free time is about to go away!

She is such a doll baby!

I love all of these. I really need to get myself a girl so I can dress her up. Boys aren't as fun to dress up.

Hi all!!! Long time, I know! And I post something that doesn't involve sewing - well not really. I could make a custom and tie it all together nicely (probably will actually!)

Anyway, for those of you that have been to a showing of Playhouse Disney Live (stage show, not the one at DHS), are the floor seats good? I could get floor seats row 9, which sound good, but I am short and my 1 year old is too (obviously). Would we be able to see, or would it be better to try and get some further back that are in the more stadium style seats??

Thanks!!

Personally I would skip the floor unless you have front row. Without stadium seating it is even hard for me to see half the time!

I'm looking at a very similar machine with a very similar price tag, the Brother PE 750D. I am looking at my Brother dealer and they don't have the PE 700 II. This seems to be the same basic machine though. Same hoop size, embroidery only, etc. The only difference seems to be that the 750D comes with the Disney embroideries already on the machine, which I really don't care about since I'm not wild about the ones they have.

I just went to my local Brother dealer on Sunday to buy this machine. They were out of stock and were to order it for me upon her return from a Brother show in Tennessee. I just checked my voice mail and there was a message that this machine is being discontinued and being replaced with the 780D with the major difference being it will accpet a flash drive and a few more designs.

Has anybody else heard this? I can't find anything on Brother's website regarding the 780D. I do have the option of purchasing the 750D floor model and unsure what to do.

Thanks

I haven't heard anything about this. Does the old one have to be hooked to a computer while you sew? If so then I would want the newer for sure! I don't want to have to worry about having my computer near my machine.

Adorable work! What kind of fabric paint did you use on the jeans? Did it hold up to multiple washings?

I also love JIFFYSHIRTS! They are high quality, you can read reviews right there on how they run, you DON'T have to drag your kids to the store- and they ship fast! The only thing is the shipping is a little high if you just want a few things, so I place my orders in bulk.

I was told no to the etsy ID thing. It seems it depends on who you are though. Many others have them and have never gotten in trouble for it.

 

[lacibelle]

You are so talented!!! All of you guys are great. I spend days on the internet trying to find things to buy for Laci to wear to Disney, bought a sewing machine but i need to take major sewing lessons, maybe after she starts Kindergarten.

I tell DBF the same thing.. I need a girl! haha!

BUT, honestly, that's why I started the tie dye- for DS, bc he really likes picking his colors, and I can put pirate hats and such on the MM heads!

I know, it's amazing how much talent is here on The Dis! E t s y is where it is at if you want to find cute stuff for your kiddo!

[disneylovinfamily]

ok panic mode! I am bogged down with orders and I only have 44 days until disney and only one dress done. I need like 19 more outfits give or take I need to get my butt moving! Plus I am doing adult shirts too!

 

[HLAuburn]

Can someone tell me where I can find a "Vida" dress pattern? Thanks!

 

[LisaZoe]

Thank you! I'm thrilled with how the Maleficent dress came out. I've had the fabric almost 2 years but never knew what to do with it. I loved the saturation of the colors and the prints but they really aren't typical for girls' clothes. When I was thinking about what to use for Maleficent, these prints came to mind. I think they work really well for her since she's such a dramatic character.

Adorable work! What kind of fabric paint did you use on the jeans? Did it hold up to multiple washings?

I use DecoArt SoSoft (I think that's the name but it's definitely DecoArt.) I had good luck with it on jeans as long as I prepared the jeans correctly first, i.e. prewashed with no fabric softener. The paint worked much better for me on lighter weight fabric, though. I always felt like I had to get the denim slightly damp first so the paint would soak in a little and not just sit on the top. The main reason I stopped painting so much was because I learned to applique.

[fairygoodmother]

I cant believe i just spent this much money, but i just bought loge tickets for me and the niece to go see mary poppins. Now I desperately need a custom outfit!!!!!! I can sew but I also appreciate the simple simple simple patterns. Help!!!! I have 2 days to complete outfits for me and her!

I think i would like to make her that gorgeous white mary poppins dress, but i need some help frankenpatterning.

We had a huge discussion on the Mary Poppins white dress about a year ago...look here:

It really doesn't take very long to make. Both patterns are very simple.
Good luck!

So cute! How do you gather up the front of the skirt like that? I have seen it on several dresses but I can't figure out how you all do it! Thanks!

Can someone tell me where I can find a "Vida" dress pattern? Thanks!

Vida is a farbenmix pattern. It's a paper pattern that you need to trace out with your seam allowances. You can find it on popular auction sites starting w/ E, or several online stores including banberryplace.com You could also google farbenmix Vida and you would find someone.
