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

[Tinka_Belle]

ok people, totally OT and utterly disgusting, but HELP! I can't stand to sit an my dining table and sew right now - the smell of sour milk in the carpet is making me ill.

Last week baby Belle got sick after she'd had a big glass of chocolate milk. While I stripped, showered, and changed her I trusted her mother and my husband to clean up the mess. Bad idea. They cleaned up what they could with towels and water, then sprayed carpet cleaner on it and scrubbed more...but not nearly enough.

Today, exactly a week later, the scent is awful. It's been raining for the last 7 days and the house has been closed up...yuck!!!

So, how do I get that awful scent from my carpet? I've thought about vinegar and water...or ammonia and water...bleach would be good then my husband would HAVE to buy new carpet, right?

any ideas?

You can take a bowl of vinegar and lay it on the spot over night and that is supposed to take the smell out. Also sprinkling baking soda on the spot will help too.

so pretty!



Elisa, I it!!! You did a fantastic job on the applique! Makes me really wish I was going to AK!

Thanks for the compliment. I just adore this fabric...

 

[CastleCreations]

Butt ruffles on a Vida. I HAVE to CASE this. And I LOVE the applique. Is it done by hand or did you purchase it somewhere? Beautiful work.

I did the applique by hand. I took the Animal Kingdom Logo, and just blew it up on the computer. I left off the word Disney and also one of the animals...LOL

 

[Stephres]

Oh just gorgeous! I hope the diaper cover fits, the butt ruffles are just too cute!

Sorry to hear of another WalMart losing the fabric department, but YEAH for getting 1/2 off! Of the 5 WalMarts around me that used to carry fabric, I think only 1 is left.




Some time back Shannon (RevRob) posted a picture of a Super Cute wrap dress - well I've been wanting to make one ever since then. And this week I finally did. I also added a ruffled diaper cover. I hope the diaper cover fits DD - the largest size on the pattern is 18-24 months. I'm going to look at doing a Franken-pattern with another bloomer pattern I have that is size 3 - 6, but has front/back seams rather than the side seams of this pattern.

That is ADORABLE!!! I am a Beatrix Potter fan from way back. There are SO many pretty prints in that line, and I should probably put them in my grandmother hope chest. You did a great job putting them to use!

And I hear you guys on the Wal-Mart thing. It's been 2 or 3 years since they told me about the impending closures. But to be honest, so many people complained, and it had been so long that I was foolishly assuming they had changed their minds. Until last week when they told me at my Wal-Mart that they would not be ordering any more stock, just selling what they had. I don't WANT their half price deals. I want the fabric available on an ongoing basis!!!

I saw info about that blade on the Project Linus website. I really want to learn to crochet! One of the quilt stores I frequent collects One-Yard Hugs at Christmas time (1 yard of flannel with the edges finished which becomes a small blanket) and I'd love to make some crochet-edged ones this year.

I saw this on facebook and LOVE IT! I love the pattern to begin with, but the fabrics that you used are FABULOUS! I had started cutting fabrics to make a valentines version of this, so I'm hoping to get it finished up this week. Don't you just love it? It stitches up so easily and is adorable!

 

[WDWAtLast]

Yay...found it and the coordinating fabric @ Walmart today!! And it was 1/2 off which made it even better!!


So cute! She is a doll and I love the white trim and bloomers!



It is the Walmart @ Spring Cypress and 290 (beside Hobby Lobby). However, when I was there today, they still had quite a bit but were telling me that they are also fazing out the fabric department. You better get it while you can. What I bought was 1/2 off (not sure if everything was but the lady in line in front of me bought about 20 bolts).



Absolutely amazing....I love the logo and the butt ruffles...great choice to put on the vida!!

That WalMart is only 10 minutes away from me! But there are two that are closer so I never go up 290. I am sad that now that I know about it, the fabric department is closing. The employee at my Hobby Lobby did tell me that the Tomball WalMart still has a fabric department - maybe I will have to make a run down 249!

I hope my Walmart doesn't close out their fabric department! I don't know what I would do. I asked them a few months ago and they said that they weren't closing theirs out. But when I was in there yesterday, it seemed like a few of the shelves were more bare than usual. Hopefully they are just waiting for my stock. I guess I should've asked them again.

Hello! I have been a long time lurker and have so enjoyed all your creations! I was sewer before but became inspired to sew customs for our then 2 year olds first trip to Disney last October. What special memories it made!!
I promise to post some pictures when I get a chance, especially with my new creations with HeatherSue's designs Things are a bit busier here now because we have 6 month twin girls in addition to their almost 4 year old big sister! We may be crazy but we are going back the first week of March with all of our girls for me to run the Princess Half Marathon. So I am busy sewing for three now and trying to get all my training runs in and still manage a few hours sleep!!!!!
I have a quick question about the Vida pattern... thinking about attempting, but have never seen one "in the flesh". Would an applique done in my 5x7 hoop be big enough on the center portion? My daughter is a size 3T.
Thanks so much!

I want to embroider a Tink on the back of a denim jacket but wondered how to go about it?

Should I float the jacket? Do I need to use a different needle in the machine? Tear away stabilizer?

I have never done denim before and really don't have a clue.

Ok, I don't have a baby or even anyone around me but this is just too dang cute. What pattern did you use for the diapers cover ruffle thingy? I know someone who is going to have a baby so that counts and I would love to make some cute covers.

I learned and have had to relearn several times how to hemstitch. It is very big with the relief society. I like to do it and it is fun but also hurts my old hands. It only took me two years to finish my first blanket that I gave to the society. Then I did 1 for DS and still have another to make. With my TBI I keep forgetting how the pattern goes but hugs and kisses is my favorite.

I have never done denim before and really don't have a clue.

I did one for Dallas when he was about 6 months old. I think I floated the jacket. Can't imagine hooping it because of the seams and it was only a size 12 mo. I didn't use stablizer but I never used to on jeans. Now I will sometimes. So I would use tear away. I used probably a regular sharp point (is that what they are called) and not ball point. Although more then likely either will work. I use ballpoint all the time on denim. Did 2 pairs of jeans the other day with one and doing another today. No issues.

Can you print off more than one of the coupons from Joann's to use in the store? Bought at different times or are the coupons just one use?

Thanks Jessica, I am taking a break from the room/closet remodel today just to sew and get my sanity back.

I will just float with a sharp and see what happens, I have a lot of tear away so I will try it first to make sure I get good stitches. Wish me luck.

The Animal Kingdom Vida is amazing! I haven't used my Vida pattern yet.....someday. Where did you buy the fabric? It is beautiful! I would love to use it for a twirly skirt for my daughter.

I have used vinager on pet areas. It takes the smell away but you will smell vinager for a while. I have never tried the Vodka idea, sounds good though. I will try that one next time!

Just adorable!!! I have a bunch of the Beatrix Potter fabric I ordered but never used. I thought it was so sweet and unique. This was a great idea. Just too cute!

Here is picture of the vida's I did last year for my 2 DGD's and their best friends. All of the dresses are a size 2/3 just varying lengths with 5x7 appliques.

I finally finished the Animal Kingdom Vida. I LOVE these fabrics. I'm running back to get some more tomorrow. The front applique wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. The back is ruffled but doesn't show up well in the picture..

Gorgeous fabric choice & awesome job on the applique!!!

Hi all. My name is Elizabeth and I have just recently found this site. I love it and I have loved seeing all of your designs. I am not a very good sewer but I hope to become better. lol. My question is that I have some really cute patterns that I want to make but I have a hard time picking out fabric. Do you all have any good suggestions for Disney and non-Disney fabric lines. I only have Hobby Lobby or the internet. Also my daughter and mother are going on a Disney cruise in March for my daughter's birthday and I would love some suggestions on what to make for their trip. Thanks so much for any advice you all can give me.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I turned on my machine and all went well until I wanted to stitch. All the upper buttons didn't function.

I turned off the machine, cleaned out the case, unplugged everything, then waited.....turned it on and it works.

Anyone ever had an issue with the Innovis 4000D doing this?
