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

I wish we had cashiers like that!



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:

The shipping is pretty high (I think it was $18 for me) since they ship from Cananda, but it still ends up pretty cheap.


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

Thanks...well, actually ... I made a Precious dress out of Minnie dot fabric, an apron with a certain Chef Mickey design in the corner and was trying to decide what shoes the girls need to wear! I am getting them each a pair of crocs, and was originally getting them the Mary Janes in black, and suddenly it dawned on me I think she wears yellow....heels I believe. So we will be getting the girls some yellow crocs to wear. Just have to decide if we are getting the Mary Janes or the Mickey ones! As soon as I redo the smaller version of the dress I will be able to cross off one outfit! Only 15 more for 7 people to go !

Waaaaay too much information...I know!

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

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?
Mary

I could not for the life of me figure out how to do the hat on my own so I found a simplicity pattern. It was easy, and I think I'll be making more of them, it's so much fun!

This is the one I used. It has 2 different sizes (and the drawer was stuck so I couldn't reach the other one )

NEED PATTERN HELP

A friend of mine's daughter has dubbed her Ken Doll her DADDY Doll while Daddy is on deployment. My friend wants to find or make a Seabee uniform for the Daddy Doll, does anyone have a clue where such a uniform pattern for a doll could be found? The Seabee uniform is the same as the Navy camouflage uniform used to be before they switched to the blue digi-cam, just the pocket has the Seabee logo on it. I tried Googling without much luck.

THANKS!

I've had one for 3 years, but only just figured it out and did my first embroidery with it in October, does that count?

Hmmm, have you done a search on Etsy? If not you may be able to get someone to make you a pattern via Etsy's Alchemy request. Sorry, I'm not much help, it's been YEARS since I've made Barbie clothes!

Wow. I had hoped we could do something to atleast offset some of the expenses, because it sounds like mom wanted to make it happen no matter what, but this is incredible. Now we know she'll have nothing to worry about other than caring for Mya and making wonderful memories. Hopefully it will warm up a bit, it's so cold here now! Scratch that, I just realized they come from PA...our 50's is better than all the snow they've had so far.

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!"

I got my flyer in the mail today. I checked the coupons and they say " Limit one coupon per regular-priced item". That means more than one can be used at the same time, just not on the same item.

At our JoAnn's, you can use as many coupons as you want in one transaction, just not more than one of the SAME coupon. So if you get more than one copy of the flyer in the mail, you can use that, you can use one from the paper, you can use one from a competitor, and you can use one from the flyer they sometimes put in your bag at the store. You can even use differnent ones from the flyer at that same time as long as they are not duplicates of the same.

My JoAnn's DID stop taking my online HobbyLobby coupons. They now say it has to be the one printed in the paper.

Me, I got the Brother Innovis 4000D but keep forgetting unless I look at it. I have said it is a quattro and it is not.

Don't forget to take one that you print from your computer...actually, sometimes I print out two and give one to someone in line.
