Disboutiquers Part 19 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

A couple of things I wanted to share with you all if you have not seen them on FB yet:

What do you all think? Can you tell who inspired them?

Been busy with school and trying to get my FB and Etsy business going.

Oh, I have a question, a couple of things I have made I used some of Carla C's patterns. I know I have read here before that I should acknowledge her patterns, if I use them to sell things. I have no problem doing that but where would I put that info?...on my Etsy listing? on my info in my FB page? What do you ladies do? Thanks for all of your help everyone.

The dresses are great, particularly love the aurora one!

Sorry I'm so full of questions lately! I just got the new JoAnn's flyer today, and there is a section of 8 coupons all good for the same week... Granted some of them are for floral and framing, but I see at least four could apply to fabric and then two on notions.

I was wondering since you can only use one coupon per purchase if anyone has ever tried to just make several "purchases" in one visit?? I live an hour round trip away from my JoAnns, so it's probably not feasible to visit them every day next week

Just wondering...

I learned something recently from the coupon websites I've been frequenting. Purchase and transaction are two different things, at least in the grocery store world. Every item you get is a purchase on your receipt, whereas all your purchases on a single receipt is a transaction. I don't know if your JoAnn's sees it this way, but I know Bed Bath & Beyond does.

Just wondering...

I'm pretty sure that you can use multiple coupons in one transaction but they each have to have a unique bar code. For example you can not use 2 of the same 40% off coupons from 2 different copies of the same flyer (for example, if your friend gave you her coupon you could not use it and your coupon) or 2 copies of the same printed coupon from an e-mail. I have been able to use multiple coupons in one transaction from different sources or from different e-mails. Hope this has not caused you more confusion. I have not gotten a new JoAnn's flyer yet and was planning on heading there tomorrow morning, oh well.

I meant to post these here after our November trip, but just didn't get around to it. Piper one of your lovely DISboutiquers was kind enough to be a Fairy Godmother to our step-granddaughter. We took her, her brother, her Mom, and my son with us for their first Disney trip. I wanted to show how wonderful Hannah looked in all her outfits:

We got compliments all week on the outfits, but this by far was everyone's favorite:

She said she needed a prince so my son, stepped in:

I just can't ever thank Piper enough for what she did for our pixie, the customs made the trip that much more magical.

Thank you so much!!

I may be wrong, but I do not believe that Carla requires that you include in listings that you have used her patterns. Some other pattern designers may require that, but I do not believe that Carla does.

I agree w/ Shannon, I don't think that Carla asks for any kind of acknowledgment.

Thank you ladies. I just wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing. I just love her patterns soooo much!

 

[Diz-Mommy]

At my local Joann's I have been able to use more than one coupon at a time. They just couldn't be on the same item.
I haven't gotten the new flyer. Hopefully I'll get it tomorrrow. When are the coupons for?

Cool, I guess I'll give it a try next week then. I guess it can't hurt to ask at least.

As for coupons there is a 40% on any reg. priced item valid through the 20th of this month, and then the coupons I was wondering about are all for just next week the 7th-13th

1- 40% notions only
2- 40% fabric
3- 40% reg. priced item (which could also be one piece of cut fabric)
1- 50% reg. priced item
and then 3-40% off reg. priced craft, floral or framing item

I was like "whoa baby, that's a lot of coupons for just ONE WEEK!"

 

[Diz-Mommy]

whoops, looks like a missed a coupon...there's another 50% off reg. priced item just for the week of the 7th on the inner cover also only for the week of the 7th

 

[tricia]

Since I live in Canada I don't get the Joanns coupons, but I will be in Buffalo on the 13th and will be shopping there. Is there an online place to get these same coupons? Do they usually have flyers in the store? (I think i remember no)

 

[desparatelydisney]

This is the kyoko pattern. It goes together really easily. I adjusted the sleeves following CarlaC's guidance of course!

Really beautiful, Jessica.

I don't know if anyone remembers me, but I was poking around for inspiration before our last trip. We don't get to go again until December, but I'm hoping to get a head start this time.

Tie-dye!

Everything looks great but I especially LOVE the tie dye.

OH I need a little HELP!!!!

I can't find the tutorial in the bookmarks for the Minnie Head Hair clips. I made both Tessa and Phoebe's in the hoop, now I need to attach the clips, but I don't know how. Cna someone help me find the tutorial.

THANKS!!!!!

Hi! Hope you have found my tutorial by now. You just a cut a little slit in the back big enough to slide your clip into. Or, alternatively, you could sew a pony tail holder to the back. So glad that others are making these. Wasn't it fun?



For those of you who have seen this on facebook already, sorry for the redundancy. I made this minnie dot scallopini using heather's mickey swirl. Catie has on the first A-line I ever made her from last year. I intend to make a portrait peasant with Heather's "I <3 Minnie" on it to go with it but just haven't gotten to it yet.

upclose of the Mickey Swirl....

I'm STILL working on my Alice set (couldn't find the bodice pattern pieces!!) but I did have some fun making an Alice inspired mini top hat! Here's a sneak peek that I posted on Facebook

My shop usually has flyers with one 40% coupon, but the flyer they mail out is always different from the in-store flyer. Have a fun trip!

 

[PolyndianPrincessJes]

I just love everything. Where did you get to meet the Prince's? Is this in the tent? Your DS Prince outfits are outstanding. Was he okay with being a Prince? I know how boys can be sometimes. And your Lilo top was a great idea. Did you do an applique of Tink on the tye die? I think that was a great idea to. I do alot of put together outfits. I don't know why. I guess I think it will be easier on me? But it's not necessarily. Looking forward to what else you come up with.

Thanks!! He LOVED it, and asked if he could be Prince Charming next time. He's a real ham and ate up all the attention he received.

Love all your creations, but your Lilo is my favorite! Adorable! And your son's prince charming is amazing, too! Great job!

Thanks!! My niece was Stitch at the second MNSSHP we attended, so I got to wear it twice! I wish I'd made his costume bigger!! He wants to be PC again this year, and he's already outgrown that costume.

Did you make the tink shirt too? If so, how did you do her shadow? Thanks! All your outfits were so cute!

I just darkened a picture of her. There are lots of Disney silhouettes online, though, and I just printed Tink on light transfer paper and ironed her on.

I was having this problem last week, but it finally started working for me

Ditto...it was extremely annoying, but it hasn't happened in about a week (knock on wood!!).

Everything looks great but I especially LOVE the tie dye.

I love tie-dying!! I'm by NO means an expert (or even good at it), so I love that I never really know what I'm going to get once we wash. Lots of fun!

I just completed 2 more of the bubble rompers in the sleeveless version for an upcoming shower where I do not know the gender of the baby. Hopefully there is one side for each one that is not too girly!

I love the bubbles and boxes, they are so adorable!

Teresa, I didn't quote you because I would take up a page but your Princessified dress, shirts and outfits. I think Snow White is my favorite. You look so adorable. What great ideas you have.

Thank you! I actually had some people ask to take my picture when I was wearing the Snow White! I'm not sure if it was because they liked it or thought I was an incredible dork, but it was fun!

I your grown-up princess outfits! So something I would wear. I did the yellow skirt and layered red and blue shirts for the P&PP a couple years ago. I have a pink dress that would be just perfect...

I used Heathersue's design for the Aurora. It was fun, and so comfy!

Hey Guys -

I have been a lurker since the very first Disboutiquers Thread. I have seen more amazing things than I could imagine possible! I don't really sew, but am mildly crafty, so am going to register and see if there is someting I can do to help with the big give!

I never thought to do anything for myself. I guess I'm just too busy with Kirsta. I love the Aurora on th dress. She would have even been cute peeking out on the white tank.

I bet you could come up with such cute things for yourself!!! You are so creative like that!

Love the adult stuff again Teresa...I am not sure I am doing matching stuff for me this year but I am going to make a matching messenger bag for me. So...I have a few to sew!

A matching bag is a neat idea!

????? Is anyone else having trouble staying logged in on the disboards? I keep logging in and telling it to remember me and when I come back a little while later I'm no longer logged in. It used to never do this, I could stay logged in all of the time.

I didn't today, but it has been driving me crazy for the past week or so!

These are adorable!!!

They look great. What a nice gift!


I just got that foot myself just last week. I haven't even had a chance to play with it yet but it fits my white machine with is really identical to my brother. This link may help with which foot you have.

OK I'm off to dinner with DH. We were married 26 years ago today and I have been looking forward to this dinner with him for a few weeks now!
Mary

Congratulations!!!

I just can't ever thank Piper enough for what she did for our pixie, the customs made the trip that much more magical.

Thank you so much!!

How sweet of Piper!!! What adorable pictures!

I love the skirt!! That is really cute!

I'm STILL working on my Alice set (couldn't find the bodice pattern pieces!!) but I did have some fun making an Alice inspired mini top hat! Here's a sneak peek that I posted on Facebook

How did you make the hat? I can't wait to see the whole set.

At my JoAnns there's one cashier that will scan every single coupon on the flyer when you check out. She wants to make sure that everyone gets all the discounts that may apply!

Absolutely stunning! I especially like the Aurora dress.....my fav!!

Very cute!! Love the Mickey swirl too but you did a great job on the scallopini...

Just finished 2 more Big Give outfits tonight and blinged up some cowboy tshirts tonight (that I bought) for my little ones to wear to the rodeo on Saturday. I think I am taking a break until Monday...

Thats fabulous!!! I have a 16 yr old that would love that. Was that a pattern or did you do that with your own creative genius?


OK I just bit the bullet and ordered my embroidery machine. I blame Nini.
I have been looking at that machine since she posted it and I couldn't stand it any longer. It will be my first embroidery machine so I have a few questions. I know that most of you prefer to order prewound bobbins but they only come in white or black that I can find. Does this mean that my bobbin thread doesn't need to match the embroidery thread? If so, which do I buy white or black or doesn't it matter. Also, what type of thread do I need, I was on the marathon site and noticed they have poly, cotton etc. is there something I should choose over another, are the mini spools OK? Lastly, what else do I need besides thread and bobbins. Thanks for your help

Mary

 

[desparatelydisney]

Okay....how many of us have gotten our first emb machine in the last 6 months!!!

Me, Nini, Nicole, now Mary....that's 4....who else....I know there are lots I am forgetting....

Hey, I get blamed for everything around here except for Global Warming! (which is ok with me...'cause most of the time I am guilty!)

Don't forget stabilizer....I bought almost one of every kind they had at Joann's to practice on. While I have a couple of favorites, now that I am actually WORKING on projects instead of practicing, I'm expecting my favorites to change.

I have not bought any pre-wounds yet...next week the Sewing Expo is coming to town and I want to be able to get them without Shipping charges! I have found that my regular sewing machine winds the bobbins better than the embroidery machine does...which I found very strange.

Okay....how many of us have gotten our first emb machine in the last 6 months!!!

Me, Nini, Nicole, now Mary....that's 4....who else....I know there are lots I am forgetting....

I am sorry for spreading my 'cyber germs' to everyone....but it is an addiction I am loving! I can't believe how easy it is to use and how wonderful they all stitch out! When you add Heather's beautiful designs to the mix, you get professional looking results with minimal effort!





OK...what shoes does Minnie wear? At first I thought she wore black Mary Janes, now I'm thinking it is yellow shoes...I know I shouldn't obsess over the shoes....but I admit! I am!

Mary

How exciting!!!
You will need some curved embroidery scissors too.
NO, the bobbin thread doesn't need to match the embroidery thread. Thank goodness, you would be changing the bobbin thread a LOT while stitching out a design! I've only used white, and have never had a problem. If you are doing something "In The Hoop", you would probably want to match the bobbin thread to the top thread around the edges. I've only used the rayon thread from Marathon. It works really well. You want the ones on this page:
http://www.marathonthread.com/collection.shtml

I've never ordered thread from here, but they seem to have good prices:
http://www.designsbysick.com/threads61colors.php
The shipping is pretty high (I think it was $18 for me) since they ship from Cananda, but it still ends up pretty cheap.

OK...what shoes does Minnie wear? At first I thought she wore black Mary Janes, now I'm thinking it is yellow shoes...I know I shouldn't obsess over the shoes....but I admit! I am!

Yes, they are yellow. What are you working on?
