Disboutiquers Part 17 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[Dreamer & Wisher]

My dd is 7 and I have to practically bribe her to wear any customs as WDW as they are "babyish" to her so I get where you are coming from. I think that a tee and stripwork twirl would be a great 7yr old set (that is mostly what my dd wears on our trips). What about sully or Mike on the tee shirt and then the Monsters inc logo on one of the skirt panels? I was thinking that instead of the bluish purple fabric what about a lime green like Mike W? Turquoise and lime look great together & it incorporates the two main character colors. Hope that helps! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

I think this sounds good!

Someone also took a bright green shirt and sewed an eye on the center of it for Mike Wizowkski. I think it was AimeeG It turned out really cute but not babyish.

Sully is a turquise blue with purple polkadots on him and Mike is bright green. So those colors are great for Monster's Inc.

Today is the ship date for Deyki - MomTo4+more's BIG GIVE

If you need the address feel free to PM me here, the big give board or facebook!

If you have signed up and for some reason can't make the item please let me know. If you have shipped and it isn't marked shipped on the big give board please let me know also. I have some holes in this one and want to get my ducks in a row with what I need I make tomorrow!

If you have checked in with me or someone or on the board then you are good! I know things come up!

Thanks everyone!!

Cathy, Dekyi's mom is going through alot right now. She hasn't had much computer time and wants to share her thanks for everything that has arrived so far. It has really been a joy for the kids to get stuff. She'll get pictures and all posted hopefully soon!

I believe she also got a new little one in the house at the moment so that is taking up even more of her time!

And I just wanted to send a big thank you out there to foster parents! So much love given to these children who truly need and appreciate it!!

I have been lurking and actually read most of what was posted while we were at disney! I put pictures up on my facebook page of our trip. Well, I am only through the first two days. I take too many pictures! I hope to do a trip report but I am not positive when I'll get to start it! The pictures pretty much tell the story!

For Nidra
High School Musical Circle Neck Top

Close up of Circle Neck

For Chantae

Close up of rose it is pinned on with a safety pin. I am not sure if I should sew it on. I don't know if it would do well in the washing machine. What do you think?

Back of Dress

I used elastic to make the top skirt "bubble"

Sorry it is such a blurry picture.
I put the elastic under the edge of the hem when I sewed the hem and then I zig-zag stitched over the elastic while I stretched it out. When you are done the elastic gathers everything up.

I am ready to ship these out! I hope they fit.

I finished my first vida!! I'll try to post pics later.
I also got two halloween costumes made.

I'm working on a possibility of going to Disneyworld at the end of Apr. -the beginning of May for Abby's 9th birthday. Please send possitive vibes that I can convince DH.
Does anyone know if they usually have any good deals for that time.
What is the weather like?
TIA

First of all I have to say "Thank you Lisa!!!!"

Using your tutorial on your blog, I have just about finished my first two Vidas. So far, the hardest part was deciding which fabrics to use.

I did chicken out and decided not to do an appliqué and left off the mini ruffle I was going to put along where the bottom two sections join. All I have left is adding the bodice lining and some finish work. It has taken me 4 hours so far. I was planning on it taking way longer (of course it would have if I hadn't been so chicken!)

Now, if my camera would just resurface....(I have offered a 15 reward for it, and it STILL hasn't made an appearance....)

Again, Thank you Lisa!!!!

That's a good time of year to visit. It's warm enough to swim comfortably even for us Floridians, but not so sticky hot like the summer time. Probably mid 80's for your high.

I'm shopping on etsy for some of heathersue's amazing designs, but I don't know exactly what format I need. Someone here told me they had my exact machine, and kindly offered help if I need it. But I'm brainless and didn't save the info and now I can't remember who you are! I'm using the Brother ULT2002, if anyone knows what I need to make it work, I'd appreciate it! TIA

My first attempt at the embroidery worked great...I made 2 actually and decided to tackle the machine applique.

I don't have an answer for you, but I didn't have the right fomat for my machine and HeatherSue helped me find the right one. So maybe you could send her an email and ask if you don't get a quick response from the board.

Hi everyone..... As always, everything looks great. Things here have been crazy busy, but I had to come out of lurkdom to ask for advice/opinions.

I feel my serger is on it's last legs -- so to speak. Lately, I have had to spend more time threading, rethreading, etc than it actually takes me to sew the garment. I am tired of babying it along. Dh saw me messing with it and getting frustrated with it and suggested a new one. Woo Hoo!!!!

So, what kind to get? I have the inexpensive White brand now that used to be sold at JoAnn's. I've had it about 6 years, so it has served me well. I want at least 4 threads and I want it to be self-threading. (My eyes are getting old and threading has become harder and harder for me.) I do use my serger pretty hard and do use it for actual construction -- not just finishing off seams and hems. I also want to start working more with knits.

So, given this information.... what would you recommend? I've seen lots of Jukis for sale, but don't know much about that brand. I'd like to stay in the $500 range, but dh was actually looking at more expensive than that. His reasoning is that I do use it A LOT, and it is such a time saver for me. I'd rather not go much higher though because I also will be needing a new machine soon, too. Ack!!!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

This was DH when I told him this morning how much I spent on the new machine. He says he is buying a new snowmachine.

If you have any friends or know of anyone that would like a Brother embroidery machine with Disney designs, please send them my way.

If you have a Brother machine then you need PES format.

Thank you, thank you! I did pop an email to HeatherSue to give her a heads up that I'd need help. Now I know and can do it myself next time, though it will be a while. I ordered enough to keep me busy for quite a while!

Well I have a dilemma, what should I make first. I printed out Carla C's Molly and Emily patterns this week and my Vida pattern just got delivered. What's a girl to do?

My funny DH came home from work this week, says he has something important to talk about, of course I get nervous, he says he wants to go to WDW for a few days in December so we can hit MVMCP and the Osbourne Lights. Of course we just got back from a week in September and when we got home he said he was Disneyed out for a while. Now look who wants to go!!!! I am actually trying to talk my DH out of a trip to WDW, am I nuts or what, but I really want to save for an embroidery machine !!

I had that problem last week.


I am almost certain I can convince DH to do disney for Abigail's 9th birthday.
I want to do BBB for her. Her favorite princess is Belle.
So now I need help since we've never been to "The World"
Where should I take her for dinner?
And I want to start planning an outfit as well.

 

[billwendy]

Hi Everyone,

Love the Big Give outfits! So cute!!

Question - which is better for my little Brother 270D - PE Design or the Ultimate Box?

Thanks, Wendy

 

[aksunshine]

Bonnie- If Abigail's favorite princess is Belle, defin. do Akershus for dinner. She usually takes photos with guests as they are being seated in her yellow ball gown. You can also usually see her at Cinderella's Royal Table (the castle- CRT), but in her town dress.

We usually go the first week of May and it is usually pretty nice. Sometimes it's a little chilly and sometimes it's really hot!

This was DH when I told him this morning how much I spent on the new machine. He says he is buying a new snowmachine.

If you have any friends or know of anyone that would like a Brother embroidery machine with Disney designs, please send them my way.

He looks a little stunned!

I only have the PED Basic, so I'm not much help!

Yay, I think I figured out photobucket! Here's a pic of our princesses with Sleeping Beauty. The youngest, Maggie, loves Minnie. I wish you could see the puffy sleeves, but it was cold! She also has come ruffled capri's under there. The oldest, Dora, has a long sleeved tee under her Pink cinderella gown to keep her warm as well. I was having fits with the gathering stitches on the bottom of the skirt. They kept falling out! I think I'll try using elastic to redo the gathers for the Harvest Festival here.
