Disboutiquers Part 18 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[princesskayla]

Okay. I know I read in this post about another great digilizer from England. What is her website. I have searched everything and I have missed it. Can someone help??

Found it. I will bookmark it this time!!!!

 

[froggy33]

I haven't been to Worlds of Fun in at least 20 years..... And I haven't been to Silver Dollar City since I was a teenager. What's the point? I'd just be disappointed..... We're not big thrill riders, so my kids have never even wanted to go to WofF.

Yeah. I went to WofF last when I was little bitty. I grew up going to Silver Dollar City - used to live down south. It is in no way a replacement for Disney, but it is at least really clean and well themed. They have some decent rides if you like that (actually they have a ride similar to RnR that I think may be better)

We got season passes for SDC this year to help get my daughter ready for Disney. I'm not too worried, she seems to love it!!

 

[MouseTriper]

You should stop by and visit us more often!

I know it, I really need to. Things have just been really crazy here.

 

[froggy33]

I know this has been covered before, but very quickly - when you all machine embroider on t-shirts, do you iron on the tear-away to the t-shirt and then hoop both? Does it need to be tight?? Thanks!!!

Hey y'all, guess what I found at Hancocks last night- and at 50% off too

it's the first Tiana fabric I've seen, I was so excited! Of course, DD has decided she thinks she's too old for it, but I figure somebody going on a wish trip will love it! Just wanted to let y'all know it's out there!

I think this is gorgeous!!

Ok, so not sewing related but I'm about to loose my MIND!!!!

My loved 3yr old is physically and mentally wearing me down. She is WILD!!!!!! We finally have her in speech twice a wk for 20min. Don't know how it will be going, apparently she is all nasal speech. So surgery may have to happen. What is new is her behavior. She has been having these mood swings and now she can be so sweet and then very hateful. Like ANGRY!!!!
I feel like my pediatricain blows me off when I try to talk to her about anything. I have also been asking about the issue of her drinking ALOTTTTT. The kid would be happy to have water all the time. As long as her cup is full.

I'm just ready to pull my hair. I have no idea on what else to do with her. She is up right now, she was just throwing a major fit and sounding so HATEFUL in her room. I have her up to just hold her for a little bit. Sorry to vent, I'm just ready to pull my hair out. No one else really knows what i'm going through and it's tough!!!!

Ok, back to all of the wonderfull customs. I need to go look for some ao the princess T's fabric.

If you feel your Doctor isn't listening to you, or blowing you off, I'd think of looking for a new one. My nephew drinks alot, but in his case, I think it's more of a comfort thing to have his "cuppie". He was put in speech class becuase he just refused to talk. He could, he just didn't want to. The school discovered that he was using spanish and sign language as a way to communicate instead of talking. He got the sign language from a book we have here (he loves to read and look at books) and watching SpongeBob on the spanish channel from time to time. He is so much more communicative now. But he does ignore us most of the time.

Hi guys,
Well, I just played around with my new designs on some dish towels and I have to tell you, I heart Heathers Designs. They are so cute! I wanted to do this instead of the cake (which turned out pretty good -black light was actually pretty neat!).

So, here they are, I don't really know how to use the emb machine, but these turned out really nice.

Please excuse the crappy photo - I have to get a camera - I have been using my Handycam and it's not good at stills. Ugh....

They look great. Where did you get the towels? I've been looking everywhere to embroider some.

just wanted to chime in and say i have been there as far as the mood swings and the excessive drinking.

mia (3) had eye surgery in april . after her eye surgery she was just miserable crying and everything. this lasted for a month. her temper tantrums were enormous and overwhelming. we actually joked (even though its not funny) that the surgeon poked her brain because she seemed bipolar afterwards. she was either sweet and loving or raving mad. did you ever hear the nursery rhyme about the little girl with the curl (when she was good she was very good but when she was bad she was horrid) this was my mia. then one day she was extremely lethargic and drinking excessively , by this i mean about 6 drinks in an hour and complaining of stomach pains. she also had been urinating alot and had had quite a few accidents since her surgery (she was previously potty trained). i called the pedi and got an appt and they checked her for uti. it came back with really high glucose levels. we were admitted to the hospital for mothers day with the idea that it was diabetes. after a couple of hours her levels evened out without medication and all her tests came back normal. we were released a couple of days later with a diagnosis of transient hyperglycemia (most likely caused by the trauma of surgery or recovery). it is unknown how long she dealt with this . we saw an endocrinologist and she said that in young kids stomach pain is very common with diabetes. so i would be on the lookout for that too. and definitely be persistent with your pediatrician about a diabetes test. when alll of this was resolved mia had less temper tantrums, but let me tell you she has a very strong personality. she still has mood swings and so i say forget the terrible twos , its all about the torturous threes. good luck . please keep us updated.

OK, get ready for too many tote bags. I finally got all of these finished.

Love all the bags. That bag is on my list of patterns to buy. I'd love to do one for Disney, but if I do my children may go naked a day of our trip. I just don't have the time right now.

Also love that Tiana fabric. I have been to two different Hancock's in my area in the past two days and neither had it. I am personally not looking to purchase it, but I did want to see it in person.

And trims are half off at Hancocks as well and additionally, I have an extra 10% off coupon for Veteran's day from 9am to 11am. I was given it in the store and have not checked if it's available on line, but worth looking into. I plan on a good shopping spree on Wed morning (my Mom is taking the kids ). I had to take the kids with me yesterday to use my 20% off coupon at Joanne's, so while they tolerated the trip quite well I still didn't get to do a good search for everything I wanted.

All right, off to clean up after dinner and get my recent fabric and trim purchases in the wash so I can finish up my CP Pooh and Friends Vida.

 

[ireland_nicole]

LOVE it!! Is it flannel??

Nope; it's cotton; I could check the next time I'm in to see if they have anything in flannel though.

Did your pedi at least check her urine? Excessive thrist is a significant indicator, and it's super easy to check blood sugar levels with a little finger stick in the office, or to see if theres any ketones in her urine. I'm actually a little surprised if he didn't check anything, and would consider other pedis.

Hi guys,

Cute!

And, I have a finished object! It's a shirtdressy kind of thing that I can't decide if she'll wear with leggings or tights. It might depend on the weather.

(To make it small in a quote, change the bit after the last slash to 4089082974_ebc40b18b7_m.jpg instead.)


A few thank yous for this project. First, Teresa helped me find this fabric when I just innocently commented that I liked it but couldn't find it anywhere. Thank you for that! And also a thank you to my ruffler, because I would have pulled my hair out trying to do that ruffle any other way.

Oh! And I may still add a tie in the back or maybe a strip of elastic sewn on the underside shirring-style to give it a little more shape. Opinions? I'm not sure. I kind of like it semi-flowy, too.

I really like it!

OK, get ready for too many tote bags. I finally got all of these finished.

These are great!!

Hey! Small world! I live just south of Olathe - in Gardner, but I drive to KUMed every day!! I think there are a few others that live in the area as well!

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT MACHINE EMBROIDER!!
I was just testing out my PED-basic and machine last night with a free downloadable applique design. I was trying it out on a denim material. I hooped the iron on tear away stabilizer and then just floated the denim material. Everything went fine through the marker stitch, the applique fabrique tack stitch and the first little bit of embroider and satin stitch, then my thread went all crazy and unraveled. The bobbin thread (which was a prewound type) was fine. So, I am pretty sure it is the top thread. I was just using some coats and clark (??) machine embroidery thread. Is this not good??
What kind do you all recommend??

Thanks! Jess

Not sure about the thread, although I like sulky, but also, you probably need to change your needle. Denim will wear down a needle really quickly, and in general you need to change them every 6 hrs. or so of embroidering anyway The problems you're describing happened to me when I didn't change my needle.

I know this has been covered before, but very quickly - when you all machine embroider on t-shirts, do you iron on the tear-away to the t-shirt and then hoop both? Does it need to be tight?? Thanks!!!

Jess

I may overkill, but I use iron on tear away on the t-shirt over the top of another layer of tear away that's a thicker stabilizer. Since I started doing this I haven't had any puckering at all. And my designs continue to line up after I take the hoop off to cut applique pieces.

 

[glorib]

Well howdy almost neighbor! We live in Independence not far from the Harry Truman home. It's SO pretty here this time of year.... well.... it WAS until all the leaves fell!

Hey! Small world! I live just south of Olathe - in Gardner, but I drive to KUMed every day!! I think there are a few others that live in the area as well!

Hey! I'm in KC too! Near Lee's Summit. We should have a meet or something sometime!

 

[Sapper383]

Oh my goodness, I haven't been able to keep up with this thread lately.....I wish I had more time.

My son (10) has landed the main part in his school christmas concert, he's so pleased and I'm so proud of him. He's playing the part of an Ice King and I'm hoping that you cleaver people will give me a few ideas for his costue???

Please help, I'm not very good at comming up with ideas.

thanks guys

 

[dancer_mom]

I think this is what someone was looking for...

It has weird measurements
IT is 17inches by 13 1/4 inches
The squares are each about 1 1/8 inch squared
The edges measure 1 and 1/2 inches on the longer side and 2 inches on the horizontel side.

Let me know if you need any other info!! I am so sad to see Kirsten go.

I have also been wanting to share this and finally got the picture uploaded. It was my son's Halloween costume. Went with the blue fairy costume I shared a while back. I used a simplicity overalls pattern and made the colors for Pinocchio, I used a vest pattern off of YCMT.

Great job on Pinnochio- it's awesome!

I love this! If only Gray was still little, I would have to case you. But I'm sure he would protest now

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You are a life saver!!! My DD will be so thrilled on Christmas morning.

Your little guys costume is too cute. You did a great job on it.

Well finally someone from the Missouri side! Hi neighbor! Maybe we could all meet at JoAnn's or something...... ok just kidding... but I'm there every day, so that wouldn't be a stretch.......

I had no idea Kansas City was such a DIS hotbed!

 

[sahm1000]

Hey Girle - to you - you know your child best and should go with your instincts to have things checked out just to make sure its all okay! Your pediatrician SHOULD definately help you figure out things you need to rule out and refer you to the right people!! If its behavior, sensory issues, speech frustration issues, blood sugar issues - the pediatrician should help you!!

Oh - for the person with sock issues - I've heard really good things about these socks from Sensorycomfort. com - "seamless" with a good fit!! http://www.sensorycomfort.com/Clothing.htm

That's me with Claire and her sock issue. Thanks Wendy!

Okay. I know I read in this post about another great digilizer from England. What is her website. I have searched everything and I have missed it. Can someone help??

I see you found it! But just in case you didn't know we have a great digitizer right here on our board, our very own HeatherSue!!!

I know this has been covered before, but very quickly - when you all machine embroider on t-shirts, do you iron on the tear-away to the t-shirt and then hoop both? Does it need to be tight?? Thanks!!!

Jess

I don't know the right way since mine always turn out kind of crappy! I need someone to move here next to me and show me everything on my machine!

Hey! I'm in KC too! Near Lee's Summit. We should have a meet or something sometime!

You need to visit here more often too!

My dd7 has Sensory Integration Disorder. It is kind of a nightmare as a parent. She has tons of clothing "issues" as we call them. For her jeans, or any non stretch pants are "annoying". Transitioning from season to season is a nightmare (a recent day requiring a winter coat was difficult to say the least). Our biggest issues are with shoes and socks. She wore crocs with no socks for literally a year (the same exact pair of crocs no less) even in Jan snow in NY!

I bought those super expensive socks from sensory comfort & my dd HATED them, they were too thick and tight for her, so if you are interested I would buy 1 pair to check out. She actually likes the microfiber no show socks by aura sp? that they sell in Target. They are silky and thin, so that works for her.

What is difficult with SID is that every kid is different and what is "good" one day is not good the next. A great book as a resource is "The Out of Synch Child". It explains SID and offers parenting tools. Also I would get your dd an O.T. eval. OT made a huge difference for my dd. We did some diet modifications, a brushing protocol and a sensory diet. She is now in 2nd grade, in all of the top tiers academically and a very socially active and accepted child, none of which you would have thought could have been possible if you had met her at age 3! Feel free to pm me if you would like to talk.

 

[DisneyKings]

I need help with my appliques! I read through the GREAT tutorial by Heather, to get where I'm at, but I just lose it figuring out the points (like the top of an A) & my machine does not like to overlap stitches I am finding out. On my last one, I decreased the width on the underlayer--is that right? My biggest think is how do you make the points and good looking points like in the corner of the Mickey ears? I know I'm doing something wrong, but can't seem to figure it out. Here is my 2nd applique, it turned out pretty well, (we'll not talk about the "A" I attempted after this)

I know the colors are the wrong order for candy corn, but that's how it was on the purple candy corn fabric in the pants.

 

[Tweevil]

If she is drinking constantly she needs to be checked for diabetes. Has she had a blood sugar test done? High and low blood sugars could account for some of the mood swings. You're the mother -- you're with your child constantly and you obviously know things aren't quite right. Don't settle for "no" with the pediatrician.

I sooo totally agree with this - when my glucose is going south I get sooo out of my mind. Tell them you want a test.

Very nice. I love Heather's designs as well. I have all of her Christmas designs but I have stitched them out yet.

I see that you have a Futura. Do you like it? I am not all that impressed with mine. I just got it and I can't seem to get the appliques to work right. If I take the hoop off my machine, it is a crapshoot if I will get the design to stitch out correctly. 85% of the time the design is moved and I can't get it back in line. I have ruined many a good shirts with this problem.
I know just cut away with hoop still in the machine. Any ideas?

I do the same thing! I cut away with the hoop locked down. If I don't it never lines back up again. I guess I would be better if I actually read the book but that would be too easy I guess.

Cute, I always tell myself that I don't need an emb. machine cause my kids are too big, then you guys go and post cute stuff that is not just for kids.

I have a boy so I have no little ones to sew for. I keep doing it and giving them away though. I never get pics... So, I am going with the house stuff now.

OK, get ready for too many tote bags. I finally got all of these finished.

These are gorgeous!!

Is that Tiana fabric available online? We don't have Hancock's here and when I search it online I don't see it If someone can post a link I would really appreciate it!

I would love to get some too! If anyone finds it online please let us know!

Oh please show a picture of the cake too! I love the towels. I plan to buy the water solvy at the JoAnn's sale. Did you use it on the top of the towels? And then sticky under and float? I ask because I get to robes for Christmas and don't have a clue.

To be honest, I have some of that tear away stuff off the bolt and just used that. Nothing on top of those towels. They are bar towels so they do not have a lot of loopy's going on. I did some towels tonight from the dolla' store and they were loopier but I still only did the stabilizer underneath and they were fine. Actually, easier than I thought with no machine eating at all!

I use C&C sometimes because that's all I can find, I know it sounds stupid but if I don't use that little net that goes over the spool while it is going to town the top thread gets nuts. I heart my little spool hairnets. Maybe it's feeding in too fast or spinning?

That turned out great!

Thanks

They look great. Where did you get the towels? I've been looking everywhere to embroider some.

The towels are from Wallyworld, they are the Mainstays brand - 3 pack bar towels, $5 a pack. I had them in my pantry for when I do buffet jobs. Works well I think because they have a close nap on them. Not too loopy

(I hope I didn't mess up anyone's quotes....

 

[glorib]

You need to visit here more often too!

LOL! Yes, I know. I used to have lots more time to DIS. Unfortunately, with the new job and working school hours now, I don't have the time much anymore. However, with Thanksgiving break and Christmas break coming up SOON!!!!! I will hopefully have some free time. Plus, (whispering) now that I have a trip to plan customs for, I need to hang out here and get some inspiration!
