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

[MinnieVanMom]

We are going to Chef Mickey's Next year to celebrate my son's 8th Birthday, He will be sporting a Chef coat hopefully with HeatherSue's awesome Birthday Boy design on the back and "Chef Preston" on the front with maybe a Chef Mickey or Goofy appliqued on the front down near the bottom, with a T-shirt under neath that has either an iron on transfer of Disney Characters dressed as Chef's or one of them Appliqued, probably Goofy since that's his favorite.

Great Idea but DH just said he refuses to dress for the restaurants. He also keeps everything in check and won't wear anything to bright. He is not liking the halloween shirts with the yellow head. Thank you so much for the great idea.

Actually, it was sorta an arbitrary thing. I searched ebay for a few weeks using the search terms of the machine that I wanted. One day, one popped up and I watched the entire week that it was listed. I just happened to be the only bid, and I got it! I've not searched much since, but I have a few times, and not really seen anything. I think the key is persistence.

Those look good! You're getting a lot done!

Are you talking about "floating" stabilizer? If so, the term simply means that you hoop whatever you're stitching (often the term is referring to using sticky back stabilizer in the hoop and putting whatever you're stitching on top of it without hoopingit) and then simply sliding a piece of stabilizer underneath the hoop before you begin to stitch. It "floats" underneath the hoop and stabilizes as it is being stitched.

Revob, thanks for the information. I am watching one right now. I can't believe after 1 month I already have hoop envy You described floating perfectly and with the picture tutorial I should be able to practice and get the MNSSHP done this weekend. I hope to practice a lot so I don't ruin the costumes.

I've been lurking. Which machine do you have? Mine is the Brother Quattro-if it's possible to be in love in an object, I'm in love with this machine.
I ALWAYS float my machine embroidery because it gives me more control over the item that I'm embroidering. I hoop the sticky stabilizer and just stick the fabric to it.

Those are great!! Are the mickey bars my embroidery design, or did you do them by hand? Either way, everything looks great!

I made them by hand. I don't have an embordery machine yet I just borrowed one from a friend but it can not import anything. Hopefully by Christmas I will have one

For all the hard work I have very little to show for today other than a screaming headache

I did have to do buttons on all the shirts and 1 set of holes. That took quiet a while just doing buttons.


Finally, This is what I did do:

I have mine on the halloween fabric but not the shirt.

WOW - looks like LOADS of work!! Those look fantastic!! I love your creativity in getting all three of you to match!

Does the sticky stabelizer make your needle gummy? Mine does, is there a trick to not gum up your needle?

Hi evreryone. I have the worst cold! I am going to the doctor today. I am using the time off work as an opportunity to start my TR. The link is in my siggy. I love all of the candy corn sets. I think I may try one for Isabelle.

 

[Shannalee724]

Good morning!! I didn't check at all yesterday and had 15 pages to catch up on!! So, I have been at work since 9am and am just now finished reading!!! So, much for being productive at work today. LOL!!

I LOVE THESE!! My favorite are the HS outfits.

What a cute little cheer outfit!!

I want this fabric for like 3 different outfits I have in my head. Does anyone still have any of this at their Hobby Lobby and want to be my hero????

I will look when I go in today as well. Hopefully, one of us can find it for you!

Very cute!!

I know there are more that I missed! I loved all of the T-shirts those were really neat! Especially the Mickey Pops.

Glad to hear good reviews - I had been to another dealer that carried Baby Lock and Janome, but when I walked into Eastex Sewing, it just felt like home, kwim? Super sweet ladies who spent over 2 hours answering questions and letting me try different machines. I wouldn't even look at the embroidery machines~ I want one, but I need a new sewing machine! But I did take a peek at the serger (Imagine Wave, I think?) that threads itself!!! Heaven, I tell you!!QUOTE]



I've got the Wave...and love it. I used to put off projects if I needed to change threads, my old serger was such a pita to swap threads. Now all I need to do is push a button!

 

[mom2prettyprincess]

I am finally back...I have been having disboards withdrawls!! I have skimmed the pages and everyones stuff is looking great.

I am leaving in less than 2 weeks and do not have a thing sewn!!!

I think I am going to have re-think my sewing plans.....ughhhh!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Dropping in to say Happy Monday!!!

I'm all done sewing for our upcoming trip so I have nothing to share!!! Really I'm waiting for the PM for Heather and Teresa kicking me out of the group!

Ok...pardon the interruption. Back to your regularly scheduled crafting

Does the sticky stabelizer make your needle gummy? Mine does, is there a trick to not gum up your needle?

I always had problems with sticky stabilizer gumming up my needle. Then, I bought Floriani sticky back stabilizer. I was told that it has silicone in it specifically to keep it from gumming up your needle/machine. I really can see a huge difference! It is expensive, so I try not to use it unless I have to. But, it's very much worth it, in my opinion.

 

[mgmsmommy]

Wow you all have been busy. I can barely keep up just skimming through to see all of the wonderful creations! We leave on our trip in 13 days! We are all very excited. All clothing is complete: 8 dresses for oldest daughter, 7 for baby girl, and 5 appliqued t-shirts for 4 adults and 2 kids. I only need to figure out the bows and I am all set.

I was missing sewing so I made a halloween outfit for my daughter. Nothing fancy, but fun. I used Carla's easy fit pants pattern and it was so easy!

this is really cute!

I love crafting and all cool things like that but, not to worry I am better with a glue gun than I am with a computer. Hoping to meet friends and have fun with this thread. Ypu seem to be my kind of people.

I FINALLY got these pics on the computer. I couldn't find my cord. I still need to make an apron and bow for the Minnie dress. She'll be wearing that to Chef Mickey's and Magic Kingdom. I got her some cute yellow shoes from walmart for $5. Once I get the entire thing finished I'll take another pic. The Nemo outfit is my 1st patchwork twirl. It took forever on that one but I've made another since then and it went much quicker. I'm in the process of making an Ariel dress right now. That should be finished by wednesday or thursday. I've still got to do a NBC patchwork twirl, a Lilo dress, and a pink Cindy dress before Oct 15...I hope I can get everything done in time! Sorry the bottom two pics are rotated. I've been trying to change it on photobucket for 10 minutes and it's not working Grr...
