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

Here is my first tink applique on the new embroidery machine.

My take on test rack:

These are adorable! Tink came out perfectly, and I really love your test track shirts!

 

[Rebecuberduber]

In less than 24 hours, I made 5 dresses (minnie, step sisters,pirates birthday and nemo), 10 hairbows and 2 autograph books. Now I need to make a birthday banner and 1 more dress before I leave at 5 am. I need more hours in the day today.

Whew! I feel exhausted just reaing that! That's amazing. I know I couldn't do it. Good job!! I hope you have a long plane ride to crash on!

I bought an over the door shoe bag with the clear pockets. I just stuff each color in a different pocket.

The bigger scraps are in a plastic tote.

What a neat idea! The thought has never even occured to me to organize my scraps by color. I've just been tossing them into a bag. I can see how organizing them would be beneficial ...

Here is my first tink applique on the new embroidery machine.

My take on test rack:

Tink stitched out beautifully. Wow, look at those eyes. Those test track shirts are fun, too.

 

[Stephres]

Of course I don't remember who posted it but I saw someone did their scraps in zip lock baggies according to color and then had those in a plastic tote. I was planning on stealing that idea. And for larger scraps I was going to steal the idea of folding the scraps on small cardboard (size of fat quarters folded). The shoe holder is a great idea as well.

I think that was me, I was too busy admiring Kathy's puppy to actually be helpful. This is pretty much how I organize my scrapbooking scraps too.

Cute!

Everything is fabulous! I am in love the Christmas outfits and the idea of the gold metallic thread. Was it hard to use the metallic thread? I can only imagine it would accentuate my mistakes, but I may try it after I practice some more. I also really like that Pooh fabric. Please share where you found that. You have a super collection of outfits and I love seeing everything posted at once like that. You are going to have a fab trip!

Thanks! The metallic thread wasn't too bad to work with. I used regular thread in the bobbin and went very slowly as I was sewing. There were a couple times where the thread got a little funny so I had to re-thread my machine, but overall it went surprisingly well. If you want, I can take a close-up picture of it and post it.

I found the Pooh fabric at Hobby Lobby.

Here is my first tink applique on the new embroidery machine.

My take on test rack:

I love the Tink, but those Test Track shirts are just awesome! I wish I could get my boy to wear something like that!

Someone here, got us all hooked on YouCanMakeThis.com and you can find "easy" there. I love the detailed instructions, you also get a library of all your purchases, so it's stored for later use or if a pattern updates.

Haven't seen film look trim. Have you tried a search for theatre fabrics?

I'll have to poke around YCMT. I already picked up one pattern there, for a peasant blouse, and they do look easier to work with than the patterns I've gotten discouraged with in the past. Just not working with that tissue paper is a big plus in my book!

I've searched all sorts of things with no real luck. I found one company that screen prints the design, but they have a minimum order that is WAY more than I need so that's a last resort.

Something neat I did come across were bows made from actual film:

Now I'm thinking about butchering one of the rolls of 35mm film that have been sitting in my desk since I went digital 10 years ago to see if I can put together something similar but in a more hair-clip-friendly style.

Those turned out GREAT! Love them both!

Have a great trip !!! We are leaving Monday afternoon, hubby's cousin works down there and he said crowds have been pretty light, so fingers crossed it will continue to be light.

Okay I never realized thread was such a hot topic!

For right now I've narrowed it down to either threadart or metro...thoughts? Both seem to be love or hate. I especially would like to hear from those with machines like Igor.

I liked some of the other threads but they were more expensive, and considering the fact I expect my beginning designs to be disasters I didn't want to spend too much.

We will see you there- just look for a toddler on the ground somewhere in her lime green cupcake dress screaming no. She has been in a mood today.

My take on test rack:

I love them!!! Did you get the Brother Embroidery machine with Disney Designs on it or another machine?

Marah.... not either of the brands you mentioned (I don't think)....but here is what I bought when I got Igor's twin sister (I know it's a brother.... but mine is a girl )

http://www.amazon.com/Polyester-Emb...1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1252547022&sr=8-1

They aren't huge huge spools....but it gave me a great variety to start with. I have had to get new pink, black, white, skin tone, and maybe red since I started doing appliques, but other then that it has lasted through a lot of appliques (you have seen how many I did I am sure).

For the price it was a good variety $30 with free shipping and no tax for 40 different spools. I have had no problem with it at all. The only thing I have problems with is bobbin thread....once I ran out of the bobbin thread Brother included with the machine, no other bobbin thread will work right except prewounds (like I get at Joann's).... I need to find Brother bobbin thread online somewhere since no one locally sells it....and all my machine likes it brother or prewounds..... I have tried so many other brands of bobbin thread with no luck.

My take on test rack:

Tink is absolutely perfect!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those Test Track Ts!!!!!

Thanks! The metallic thread wasn't too bad to work with. I used regular thread in the bobbin and went very slowly as I was sewing. There were a couple times where the thread got a little funny so I had to re-thread my machine, but overall it went surprisingly well. If you want, I can take a close-up picture of it and post it.

Would love to see a closeup fo the metallic thread applique.

I don't know that you'd get the same look with undeveloped film.

Hey guys,
I bought a couple of those little comb tiara things on clearance and only need one. Do any of the kids in the big gives need one? I can't give it to the neices because I don't have enough and that wouldn't be fair - 3 girls one tiara = potential problems .

Anyhoo... should I hold onto it until a big give kid needs one or is there one now?

Let me know and thanks

I'm supposed to be tracing out my Vida so I can figure out how much fabric to buy, but instead I'm trying to keep up here.

Here is my first tink applique on the new embroidery machine.

My take on test rack:

Tink looks awesome! Very nice work for being new to the world of embroidery machines. And I love your test track shirts -- I am doing dd a Cars dress and may make ds a coordinating bowling shirt, but if I just do a t for him I am going to steal the checkered strip idea. Very creative!

I think that was me, I was too busy admiring Kathy's puppy to actually be helpful. This is pretty much how I organize my scrapbooking scraps too.

Yes, it absolutely was you as I distinctly remember the yellow fabric on top. Great idea to do that for scrapbooking as well. I am scrabpbooking in chronologically order and sadly I am only just past ds's first birthday. I love doing it, but something always seems to get in the way.

Thanks! The metallic thread wasn't too bad to work with. I used regular thread in the bobbin and went very slowly as I was sewing. There were a couple times where the thread got a little funny so I had to re-thread my machine, but overall it went surprisingly well. If you want, I can take a close-up picture of it and post it.

I found the Pooh fabric at Hobby Lobby.

If you have a chance for a close up I'd love to see it, and thanks for the tip on regular thread in the bobbin. Does the metallic come in all different colors? It just looks so good with what you did with it and especially with the fabrics you choose.

Figures that Pooh came from Hobby Lobby as we don't have one here. I'm so undecided on what I want to do for CP anyway, but that's the best Pooh fabric I've seen so far (though I haven't researched it to much as CP was a last minute add on).

Have a fabulous trip! Hopefully you will get good weather -- we are several hours north of Florida, but we have been unseasonably cool and I think we even set a record low last week. Usually it's still in the upper 80's here and today it was only in the mid 70's. I would think this would be the perfect time of the year to go with school just starting back up for most people. And I can't wait to see pics! I surely don't recall all the outfits you made so seeing your vacation pics will help remind me about ideas. And I'm soooooo jealous that you will be gone for 14 days!!!!

I don't know that you'd get the same look with undeveloped film.

I know it wouldn't be quite the same, but since I don't want the long tails I think the bow itself might still come out pretty cool. And if not, nothing lost but my time, because I don't even own a film camera any more unless you're counting an antique Argus that's lurking in a box around here somewhere. I'm not a good enough photographer for film - with digital, I can delete my many, many mistakes and only pay to have the keepers processed into prints!
