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

[Sandi S]

Here are the fabrics I bought

Also we have been Adopted! By a cat Madi named Smelly Cat we call him Mel for short. He looked as if he rose from Pet Cemetery when he first arrived.

Beautiful fabrics - love the florals! The kitty is a cutie - looks like a friendly one.

FYI, I bought a hard covered sketch book at ACMoore (used a coupon and it was probably around $4). It is 5.5 x 8 and has perforated tear out pages that I will then be able to transfer to a scrapbook. I plan on decorating the cover with stickers. One thing I haven't tried yet is to see if a big sharpie bleeds through the pages. If it does I will just likely use every other page as there are 80 sheets and I can't imagine getting more than 40 autographs. The pages are thicker than paper, but not cardstock. For dd I'm making a fancier book. I just thought I'd let you know what I found b/c I couldn't find any of those small scrapbooking books (we do not have a Hobby Lobby here).

I always use the perforated sketch book for my autographs. Sharpies do bleed through. I put an index card behind the page to be signed and it works just fine.

Very sweet of you to take the cat in. Looks like he found a good home!!

Love everyone's creations. I'm still looking for some type of pirate princess dress I can make for DD to go to Pirate's League. Anything you can share?

YEAH!
I finally make a choice on a machine and I am sure it is not a scam because it comes from the dealer. So I have to drive 3 hours each way for lessons, service, etc but I am going to order it tomorrow.

I am getting the Brother 750D. It does Disney cards and has a 5X7 hoop area, monochrome panel. USB computer to machine. That is all I remember. It is are retail price and they do have to order it. Oh well $800 and a tank of fuel.

Hello everyone...lurking here...but have a question.


poohnpigletCA just called me from the Disney Outlet store. She seems to remember someone mentioning the need for a tiara with a pirate motif of some kind...neither of us remembers who needed that.

anyway, they have them at the outlet.

Who needs one? She's at the store RIGHT NOW, so you have about 15 minutes to let me know if you want one. She can pick it up for you, the price is $3.99 each.

THAT WAS ME!!!!!!! Oh I hope I'm not too late! I'd take 3 if she is still there

PIRATE TIARA!!!
If she is still there, I'd love to have one!

Thank you, you're right. When I realized my mistake (yes, I am sorry) I PM'd another board member about OMG what do I do?!?! Um yeah, I should have PM'd the mod. Totally did not think of it in my "Oh I messed UP!" panic moment.

(I'm SO sorry, I thought I was repeating correctly something for someone who no longer has board access and obviously got things screwed up in our communication. Next time I think I will have someone give me "WORD FOR EXACT WORD" what to say and just copy/paste.

Sorry. Yes, I'm the annoying screw up little sister of the disbo board.

Oh, no worries - apparently paypal had been mentioned a lot on the thread and it wasn't just that one post that got it shut down. I have asked if we could open a new one where we do not mention any paying or paypal. . . hopefully that will be allowed and we can start fresh

Actually I am worried and I feel really horrible. Maybe I need to take a break from the screen for a while.

AWW - no, no time out for you. The mod said there were lots of posts that talked about money. . . guess that has to stay off the threads and only over PM and emails. Only open swapping allowed.

It was absolutely not you!! I used "pp" in one of my posts and got a pm from the moderator. They didn't mention anything about the swap board being shut down though....Maybe it is me that should be taking a break!!!

The mod said absolutely nothing in PM's either...nothing about money what so ever. That even includes finding something @ a store and offering to pick it up for someone and them reimbursing you for it. Is how I understand it.

I am sooooo sorry that I would have spoiled it for all! I feel like suck a Schmuck!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all! I finally updated my blog with the exciting news!!!

[anggye]

Thanks for the kind words. The bag pattern was a tutorial, I can't even remember where I got it. It was a messenger-style diaper bag, that I modified for regular bag.

If you could please say some prayers for my DH sister. She is in the hospital with liver and kidney failure. She is not comprehending things and not able to speak. It is hard, because MyDH lost his father a year ago. TIA

How exciting!!! I tried to use the link to the Etsy store and it doesn't work...Maybe it's just me.

 

[*Toadstool*]

There are 126 Disboutiquers on Facebook so far...I didn't even realize that there were that many of us at all...let alone on FB!!!

Oooh.. How exciting. Did I add you??? I forget people's names too easily.

I found you guys on FB!

Madi Let me take some pics of her outfit I made it was originally for Abby but she Loved it so it ended up Madis!

Adorable! I love that fabric flower!

Great machine. Several of us here have that machine or a machine that is almost the same. I have the first one they came out with called the PE700. It is a great little machine.

Doesn't work for me either. I'm wondering if the patterns will be cheaper or something. I don't get why one would want to buy from etsy instead of ycmt. I want my points!

Thanks for the tip! I will do just that so now I can get 80 autographs!

I saw a very neat looking pirate princess dress on e**y, but I didn't save it as a favorite. You may want to try a search there for ideas.

Just a thought....what if our fabric swapping were moved to our FB account????
Dont know if it would work, but it would certainly mean that people would be disboutiquers we would deal with, rather than anyone who stumbled across the thread, I know I never knew how to write "only willing to trade with disboutiquers"- it seemed rude....


Rotary Cutting- these are the rules I learned.
-Use a large guide ruler- mine is like 25" by 6.5"
-keep your pointer finger as far from your thum as possible- so really I keep my hand with a bit of "air" under the first knuckle and my thumb and pionter are almost a straight line- does that make sense? maybe I could post pics...
-ALWAYS use your safety every....single....moment....you...put..your...blade....down
(I know some classes that charge 25 cents per time you leave it off) you could do this at home, give the money to a charity or a little extra in the plate in church on sunday.
-keep fingers wrapped firmly around blade and press down
-keep blade flush with ruler.
IF you have trouble with keeping your ruler perfectly still, and or keeping your hand more than 2.5" away from the edge you are cutting on I suggest getting one of these...

I have heard they sell something similar for getting in and out of shower/bath tub at places like bed,bath and beyond. This will absolutely keep your free hand away from the blade.

Does this help anyone?????

Cool! Thanks for the tip. I never thought to look there since I don't necessarily want to buy one (unless its too good to resist!!)

It is my totally commitment to insanity that keeps me going

Today is the entries for baked goods at our local fair. I stayed up until 10 pm last nite and then got up at 6 am today. The entries have to be in by 9 am. I have to wake up Hunter and load him up too and then drive 40 miles. Insanity! Then a full day at work. Fun.

We have all kinds of yummy treats, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, rice krispy treats, blueberry muffins, etc.

I'll have one of each!!!

Hey Everyone who has made the Patricia Tunic - yes, I know you cant believe Im still working on this!!! how do you make the hem curvyish across the bottom??????

JESSICA - I have the Singer Serger from Walmart - so should I use 2 needles for regular serging or 1 - what about rolled hems - it has that little switchy thing to flip....

You are probably right, but no one can control or see my PM's right. . . but yea. . . you are right.

Thanks for the rotary rules - and I think the FB thing would work - or we could start a new one where NO ONE mentions paying for anything on the thread itself. If people want to do things outside the thread that is their business. But FB MAY be more safe.

I asked the mod if we could start a new one, and this is the response I got:

I personally have no problem with another swap thread as long as everyone realizes that it WILL be closed again if anyone even suggests that they are charging or if we receive any compaint that this is going on. However, my opinion doesn't really matter and someone else (another Webmaster) could close the thread and infract the poster who starts it for "Restarting a Closed Thread" - so do so at your own peril if you fell it's that important.

These types of threads may start out with the best of intentions and yet some will still try to take advantage of the situation. Please be cautious.
