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

[livndisney]

OK...obviously my DD9 is turning out pretty good...as long as she doesn't drive me crazy before she grows up!


Now, she is complaining that I didn't get signed up for the Big Give in enough time to make a dress!!! She actually told me she wants to sign up herself so she doesn't have to rely on me! (I didn't have the heart to tell her it was filled up before she got home from school!)

Hopefully the next one has a couple of girls in it...other wise there may be some boys at Disney wearing a dress!! (JK)

The Create has more functions that the regular Cricut (like fit to page, being able to flip or rotate an object without using Design Studio on your computer) but it still only cuts on a 6 x 12 mat. And is is almost as expensive as the larger Expression. I only have the regular (or "baby bug") but the expression is on my wish list. It goes on sale for $200 - $250 fairly regularly on some ecommerce sites. The display screen is much more user friendly on the Expression, IMO. And even if you don't want to cut most things bigger than 5 1/2, believe me, trying to paper piece the Disney Princesses or even Mickey at 5 1/2 will make you think otherwise! I am going to send you a PM so as not to completely hijack this thread!

The Cricut Create is a more advanced version of the regular Cricut. It allows you to do what the Expression does in many ways and has many of the bells & whistles the Expression has, such as an eight-way directional blade, Portrait mode (to cut taller images), Fit to Page mode (to cut the largest cut possible), Auto Fill mode (to mass produce cuts), Center Point function, and Flip function.
It will only cut paper 6" wide and no bigger the 12" long. The display screen on the Create is also supposed to be an improved version of the reg. cricut too. Probably more like the Expressions screen, but not sure on that. The Expression will cut up to 12"X24". they have announced a new wireless version of the Expression. I can hardly wait to see this thing! having it connected to my computer is the biggest PITB. WIRELESS WOULD BE AWESOME!

Hope that helps.

Thanks, it does help!!

For anyone who has done embroidery on the scalloppini twirl...

...did you do the embroidery before the scallop lining and top layer were sewn together or after the scallops had been sewn and turned right side out? I am doing a test skirt now just plain to see how it goes together and I am seeing pros and cons of both ways.

Are you ever embarassed by what your child picks to wear to school. I can only say I am not responsible for this look. Just the hair..

I think she looks super cute!! That is pretty much how my 7 yr old looks going to school every day I actually really like the spunky schoolgirl look. Have you seen what some of the other kids wear to school....after a few laps around the hallways I realized that I am much better off than I think I am

and prayers, Nini.

My model WOULD NOT hold still so I had to put the flash on...thus the dark photo. I am thrilled with these. I have 2 more to work out. It was done totally in the hoop with HeatherSue's fabulous design

I love this! I am going to put your directions in the bookmarks if you don't mind.

Has anyone made a men's tie? My dd promised my BIL an Elmo tie, and, and I have the perfect cotton fabric for it My BIL has good sense of humor (he would have to he married my sister) so I know he will wear whatever DD makes him. Can anyone recommend a good pattern?

I made the Osman Tie from Burdastyle for Corey. It was really easy. I got the pattern when they were still free, they charge $2 now.
http://www.burdastyle.com/patterns/osman-tie

Oh no! I hope it didn't hurt the fabric department. We don't want them to get rid of that one too! Of course, I hope nobody was hurt too. that would be scary to be in there during a fire. Some friends from church just had their whole house burn down last week. Luckily they had smoke detectors because it happened in the middle of the night and they all got out okay, but they lost everything including their cars. So everyone, check the batteries in yours! We checked ours that night and one of ours wasn't working! It does now. That poor family has been through a lot - she found out she had a horrible and rare kind of breast cancer while she was pregnant. She has gone through all kinds of treatments and surgeries and has been okay for about a year i think. She has really been such a strong woman through all of it.

They were still closed today.
I need to go buy some batteries for our smoke detectors. Thank you for the reminder. Actually, I think we need a few new ones.
A few years ago, our 3 year old nephew died in a house fire. They scare me so much.

Crack me up! Do you think you could get the smoke smell out? I've always heard it really stinks.

.

That's what Brian said. I would be willing to give it a try for the right price!

Okay, if I can do this....YOU can ACE this....

1. Make bobbins for the black (head) and your bow color,
2. Hoop the tear away
3. Put in the black bobbin & black thread
4. Sew out the outline
5. Take off the hoop (of the machine, not the stabilizer) and adhesive the black felt to the back; put the hoop back on
6. Lay the black felt on top
7. Stitch the tack down
8. Put in the bow color bobbin & thread
9. Stitch the bow placement
10. Take off the hoop (of the machine, not the stabilizer) and adhesive the bow felt to the back; put the hoop back on
11. Lay the bow felt on top
12. Stitch the tack down
13. Take off the hoop (of the machine, not the stabilizer) and trim all the felt front and back; put the hoop back on
14. Switch back to the black bobbin and thread
15. Sew the head satin stitch
16. Switch back to the bow bobbin & thread
17. Stitch the satin bow and name
18. Take it all out and tear away the stabilizer
19. Place your alligator clip on the back and cut a tiny slit for it to fit in
20. Slide the back of the clip thru the slit (you could sew a pony tail holder instead).

Clear as mud??!!

Thanks for the directions!

Hello,
I think I told you all about how I have been asked by a lady I know who works for MAW Canada to do something similar to the Big Gives. You guys are famous, someone in her office heard about you guys and they wanted to be able to offer the same thing here. A group of my friends and I have been doing it for a couple of months. It has to be run differently than the great way you guys have it set up. We don't get to know the families other than names and sizes and favorite characters. I really wish there was a way for us to get to know them and even pass on some of our Disney knowledge to them. But the reason I am here is to ask what you think a 14 year old wheel chair bound girl may like. We don't all sew so we are not able to do a lot of outfits, we have been doing journals, autograph books, luggage tags, eye spy bags, crayon rollups, pixie dust etc. A couple of us can sew outfits but I am not even sure what we could make, she likes Tinkerbelle. Thanks if you have any ideas I would love to share them with the group.

That's cool that they had heard of us! We've done quite a few Gives for people from Canada, I wonder if one of our families was going through her agency?

All of my kids (and me) like the eye spy bags. I think they are good for any agegroup. Corey (my 17 year old son) has asked me to make him a crayon/colored pencil/ marker roll up. So, I think those are good ideas for a 14 year old.

HELP!

I bought the stripwork jumper pattern. I've never used a lining and underlining. I am going to use Calico fabric for the bodice. I bought a solid, thin fabric - I think it is a broadcloth - for the lining. Can I use that for the lining and underlining? Can I just skip the underlining. In the past I have used the same fashion fabric for the bodice and lining. Never had any problems and didn't know I should be using an underlining.

I have never put the underlining in when I make the Simply Sweet, and it turns out great. I don't think you would need to put it in the stripwork jumper either.

can I ask you ladies a question?

Due to an illness I have lost my hair. I do have a wig and a couple of hats but I wanted to find a disney themed scarf hat, like this but with disney print http://cgi.ebay.com/Chemo-Scarf-Tea...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item53da0557d4

I have searched ebay and etsy. Any ideas on where I could find one?

I have some patterns in the bookmarks, too.

It allows you to do what the Expression does in many ways and has many of the bells & whistles the Expression has, such as an eight-way directional blade, Portrait mode (to cut taller images), Fit to Page mode (to cut the largest cut possible), Auto Fill mode (to mass produce cuts), Center Point function, and Flip function.

Probably more like the Expressions screen, but not sure on that. The Expression will cut up to 12"X24". they have announced a new wireless version of the Expression. I can hardly wait to see this thing! having it connected to my computer is the biggest PITB. WIRELESS WOULD BE AWESOME!

Hope that helps.

Hi Karen!

I love it! She has her own sense of style! She sure is cute!

Hi Teresa!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Thanks for all your wishes for Daniel!!! Im so excited to be going with the family. What a celebration. Im on the Disney site trying to find some good rates right now. I hope there is something good for April!! They will be staying at Give Kids the World Village, so Im hoping we get to go visit them a lot. Im guessing most days we will meet them at whichever park!!

I'd be happy to send a card too!! Please PM me the address!!!

Wendy, when, I can't figure out dates right now, sorry I did some bad head stuff snowboarding.

 

[desparatelydisney]

I love this! I am going to put your directions in the bookmarks if you don't mind.

Oh dear...I hope they're understandable I will test run my own directions when I sew the other ones out this weekend and see if I made any errors.

 

[desparatelydisney]

Any chance of a photo tutorial? I'm a little lost on the bow felt to the back part- how do you get the placement and size perfect?

We are supposed to get 7 to 17 inches of snow and sleet this weeked in a town that hasn't seen more than a dusting in 5 years! I should have plenty of time to work this out again (following my own directions ). I will see if I can take some pics along the way.

MMM

Karen, I just am happy to see you post, you remain the cricut queen and although not a loyal subject, I don't scrapbook, I do miss you and think of you often.

 

[desparatelydisney]

Latest project....

This was my first try at the Farbenmix Sasha. I will make the next size up next time...it's a little tight over the shirt but will be great in the spring by itself.

 

[NiniMorris]

OK...so I got tired of hearing all the storm and snow talk on tv, so I went down to look through my fabric stash to see what I need to buy to make my two dresses for the Big Give...

Three hours later, my DD9 now has a new patchwork twirl skirt! I was only looking to see how the fabrics went together, and now it is finished! I've made her 4 in the last week. Do you think I'd notice that while she likes to MAKE them, she doesn't like to WEAR them?


Sigh...at least it is only a few snips to my my GD2 a new skirt.....
