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

[sahm1000]

I'm so jealous!! I've just started to think about getting one after my sil got one last weekend. I'm so jealous!! I just can't justify the cost, I wish they weren't so expensive.

I probably can't justify it either, but I've really wanted it and the dealer I bought it from gave me a decent deal and threw in the smaller 4x4 hoop (it comes with the 5x7 but I figured for little things for babies it might be useful), some stabilizer, prefilled bobbins and lessons on it.

So for all of you experienced users out there.........where do you buy your embroidery thread and what brand have you had the best luck with? Does anyone know of any great deals on it? The store where I bought the machine had a set of 25 for $60 but I didn't know if that was a good deal or not.

You could keep an eye on JoAnnes. Sometimes they have 50% off thread and they carry Sulky. That's what I like the best. Bobbin thread, I have to stick with the Janome or Brother thread. My machine (PE180D) doesn't like other bobbin threads. Although I know of other people with the same machine that don't have trouble.

Hi Everyone!
I've been lurking around here for a while, and thought I would post this question. . .
Does anyone have a great idea for outfits/costumes for a family? DH, myself, DD4 and DD2 have tickts to MNSSHP. The girls have princess dresses, but I would love to match, even if it means getting them another outfit.
I've seen families in cute t-shirts, but wasn't sure if that was appropriate for MNSSHP. Any input is welcome!

P.S.- I really would like to have minimal work involved. PM me if you are on Etsy, etc. and would sell a set of outfits (reasonably priced)!

Okay, not sure what size you are making but here are the fabric requirements for the stripwork/long sleeved version.

2T: 1/2 yds. main fabric, 2/3 yds contrast fabric, 1/8 yd fusible interfacing
3T, 4T, 5T and 6: 2/3 yds main fabric, 2/3 yds contrast fabric, 1/8 yd fusible interfacing
7: 2/3 yds main fabric, 3/4 yds contrast fabric, 1/8 yd fusible interfacing

On the strips it calls for 10 strips so that may help you figure your fabric better.

Here are the strip sizes in inches:

2T: 6x12
3T: 6x13
4T: 6x14
5T: 8x15
6: 8x16
7: 8x17

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Now to get my shopping list ready.

The quilt shop sale I'm going to tomorrow is supposed to have 3000 bolts of fabric for 50 - 75% off. The shopping center where the store was located received heavy damage during hurricane Ike last year and the quilt shop has not been able to reopen so far. I love getting a good deal, but I feel for the shop owners!

I am so excited! I know I've mentioned it several times, but I finally pulled the trigger today and bought the embroidery machine! I got the Brother PE 750D! Woohoo! Now if I can just figure out how to use it................... One of my neighbors wants some fabric embroidered with her daughter's name on it so she can make her a nap mat for preschool so I think that will be my first project!

Wow, I am green with envy but so happy for you. Do keep me posted and let me know if you like it or not. Can't wait to see the new things.

I was thinking of making one for baby Isabel for when she gets her baby blessing at church (we also don't baptize baby's). I haven't made the dress AT ALL yet. . . but I was thinking maybe to use bias tape for the cuff of the sleeve - do you think that would work?? I also have to decide what fabric to use, but I have a list of to-do stuff for the baby that I have to get done before I go and buy any more fabric.

Adi, I wouldnt do purchased bias if thats what you mean. I know when I did the last one it was tricky because it was too small to go around my machine, and trying to sew with the foot inside and nothing to hold it- does that make any sense???


Oh and I LOVE that dress Miss Evangeline has on!!!!

Here is the result of lots of time/work!

I am just showing you a few pics...I will post more on my blog. I have to update it tonight. And I still haven't revealed the "big announcement" news.... I'll have to do that soonerish too!


I still need to make my other DD her skirt. Everything is appliqued and ready to go I just have to assemble it. I was considering doing a pictorial sew-along if anyone would be interested in making a skirt like this. I am no Carla C but let me know if you would be interested. This is basically a panel double layer twirl skirt....not hard at all.

Sad news...Noah passed away today

I just read that. Here is the blog post:


It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I write this blog.

Noah earned his wings today. Just after 2pm this afternoon he went to be with Jesus.

No more tubes...no more pain...he is whole.
