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

[teresajoy]

I've been busy sewing lately... Almost finished with a Disney cruise outfit. Made a little dress with bloomers for Ireland's music teachers daugher and a Fancy Nancy outfit with necklace. I really wish my machine will embroider on t shirts but no matter what I do, it just won't . I've ruined several shirts trying to do it, and no luck. The bobbin on the machine is wonky and I'm lucky it embroiders normally on cotton. I guess I'll just have to be happy with that.

These are fabulous Elisa!!!! I love both of them!!!

Hi all! I am new here, been reading and learning and becoming greatly inspired by seeing all of your beautiful creations. I cant wait to be able to share some of my own creations shortly.

i was wondering if anyone would be share with me what kind of embroidery machines you are using. I want to by one, but don't know if I should save up my money to buy a more expensive one or will I be ok with a less expensive one to begin with. I have never embroidered before but I have been looking at the Brother machines, so do I start off with a 270D or hold out for a more expensive model? and can the 270D use the software to get designs off the internet with?

thank you in advance for any information you can give.you all are GREAT!!!

I have a Brother 270D, I love the way it embroiders, when and if I can get it threaded. It only does a 4X4 design. I really wouldn't recommend it unless you got a good deal on it. I have a Viking Rose that I need a card reader for and then I will probably sell the Brother.

I know we have a few ladies here with Sock monkey aversions. Kia just showed a bit of a new commercial with a LIFE sized, walking Sock Monkey. I think the whole commercial will be shown during the super bowl.

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!! I am NOT going to click that, I am NOT!
If you hear screaming coming from Michigan on Sunday, you will know that I accidentally watched it.

the top I am making is 15 1/4 inches from top of the shoulder straps to the bottom of the rufle - it is meant for waist length i think. I am planning on making it hip length.

THANK YOU!!!!

Seriously, before I saw this commercial I had no opinion on Sock Monkeys. NOW. That thing is seriously freaky. (Maybe worse than "the doll").

I think it is me - I can't open any of the bookmarks.

I bought the ginormus box of threads too, it was $150, all the ladies at the store were telling me that it was such an awesome deal, and I just had to get it. I have no clue what thread costs.....is that an ok price?

I was just looking at your picture again, and I think maybe you got more thread than I first though. How many spools are there? You might have got a better deal than I was thinking!

ok, I just opened the box because I wasn't sure myself what the heck I bought.....it's 61 colored spools at 1100yards each, plus the wooden rack. So did I do ok now?

Oh, and so far I'm loving this thing. So easy to use. I'm working on the girls' valentine's day skirts. I'll post when done.

I've got the sewing part figured out, next is the embroidery part!

I need some honest advice. I've been wanting to try Carla's Precious Dress pattern. I'm just worried about the placket. I've tried them in sewing class (couple of years ago) and my teacher pretty much had to do it for me. It is just so confusing! Tell me about the Precious dress placket. TIA!!

I have not made this dress yet but I have the pattern, so I just went and read the instructions and it sounds really easy.

Hello, everyone!!!! Remember me? I haven't visited this thread for awhile. I have a sewing question and you were the first ones I thought of to answer me. I want to try my hand at making leotards. The You Can Make This site doesn't seem to have any. That's where I usually go for my patterns. Can anyone recommend a decent, easy pattern?

Thanks,
Chantell

Hey all. I am looking for some material. It may not be made anymore, but hopefully I can find it on ebay or something. I'd like some of the blue or white flag/faces fabric that people use a lot for EPCOT clothing. I have the stuff with the faces and the little writing, but would like it with the flags. I think it was sold at JoAnns. Any ideas?? Does anyone at least have the name of the fabric?

Thanks!!!

Jessica

I have some of both the flags and the people in blue. Sorry to say, it isn't going anywhere.

i can't open thed book mark for up scaling a pattern by Carla C. I thought those directions would work for the pattern pieces I made for a shirt DD owned. I made one in her size but my older DD would like one too. the youngest can wear the one I made with a slight alteration in the tab length. please can anyone help me? (begging on my hands & knees)

 

[BBGirl]

That's not a very good price on thread. We (my sister, Heathersue and I) get ours from Marathon thread. http://www.marathonthread.com/collection.shtml
They sell a set of 50 for $91. It is great thread, I've never had any problems with it. If you call them, you can pick what colors you want or you can just take the 50 that comes in the set if you order online.

Can you use this on a regular sewing machine too? That is a really good price on thread and I don't an embroidery machine just a regular old Brother sewing machine. Thinking of spending my share of the tax return on some thread LOL

THANK YOU!!!!! I am trying that now.

Ha!! How selfish!! Just kidding. I have an incredibly difficult time letting go of/cutting fabric, so I understand. This is for a customer and I am trying to talk her in to this other amazing fabric.

Thanks though!!!

I made one for my DD's halloween costume. and it was easy to do following carla's directions. i think you'll be fine because she takes you step by step through the whole thing and i just started sewing this summer. I pretty much stick to carla's patterns. You'll do great! Go ahead and give it a try!

I finished a couple of thinks last night, well almost. I started the vest for DH about 3 years ago and finished except for buttons.

I made this feliz dress for a friend daughter, she is the same size as Ash. I made it shorter then I meant to so now it is like a long top. The little girl is about 4 in shorter then Ash.

Here's the front(DH took the picture, I'm the one behind Ash)

And the back, with no ruffles.
