Disboutiquers Part 20 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

Question #1-- I have a Babylock Ellageo plus - I had to stop embroidering a design in the middle of the design because my top thread was catching in the feed dogs. I had to take the embroidery arm off. The machine automatically goes back to regular sewing mode when the embroidery arm is detatched. Is there a way to go back to where I had to stop? I haven't had to do that yet. Please tell me there is a way.

Question #2 - do you always use Bobbin thread in your embroidery machines? Does it mess things up if you use regular sewing thread?

Thanks,
Carol

Thanks Anita!! I dont have the real Vida, but I have a similar pattern made by one of our Dis'er friends. I may try the ruffles!! Do you guys think a 7 year old would want them or not - her 3 year old sister will, well, may have them - lol!!

Praying for dear Mya and her family. I just feel so badly for them, it seems to have turned so quickly. Im so happy the trip happend for them!

Cindee - LOVE that stroller organizer!!!!!!! I wish I could make one for Samantha before our trip, but have no idea how to do it!! Daniel's house is full of sickness right now. I guess its so hard when 3 of your siblings go to school all day and bring home lots of germs. We are praying for quick healing and strength for all of them - we only have a month to go!! And, we still have to get together with them. I have 14 Big Give boxes to present to them!!!!!!! Thank you everyone - Im soooo thankful for friends like this!

I hope everyone in Daniel's house gets better real soon! I'll keep you all in my prayers that you all stay healthy for this trip.

You should receive my box in a couple of days. It went out today priority mail.

Thanks everyone, for the well wishes and prayers for my mom.

They first discovered the cancer in her lungs. After a second CT scan, we were told yesterday that there is another (large) mass on her colon.
She is 89 years old, and in frail health. She has Parkinson's Disease and Osteoporosis. She's lived a very full life - she is a Christian and believes that Heaven is waiting for her. She's my step-mom but has been married to my dad for 40 years. My birth mother died in an automobile accident when I was 5, so this woman is really the only mom I've known.
Between her and my dad, there are 11 children - I'm the youngest
Together they have 29 grandchildren, and I don't know how many great-granchildren she has.
So there's the biography

She is opting for no treatment. She's ready to "go home", and my dad is ready to let her go. We've not been given a timeframe yet.

Your prayers are so appreciated - especially for my dad. I can't imagine losing not just one, but TWO spouses in a lifetime. Pray for comfort and peace for him. He wants to take care of her at home as long as he can.

Again, thanks so much!

You absolutely have my prayers.

Okay... as promised - here's pictures of my little monkeys, er, princesses. LOL (I know I'm not supposed to say this, but please excuse their messy appearances... they spent ALL day outside today and were a royal mess before bed - when I took their pictures).

Here's my sweet little Hayleigh in the first (and probably last!) pettiskirt I made:

And here she is modeling her Cinderella swing top (excuse the strap, it's twisted on her, but it's not sewn that way... I didn't notice it until after I took the picture...):

And here is Hayleigh's twin sister, Hannah. Hannah is usually the ham when it comes to posing for pictures, but she was in an "off" mood tonight. This is the best I got out of her tonight... LOL

So thank you all for the warm welcome! Looking forward to getting to know you all better and ooohing and aaahing over your beautiful creations!

They are so beautiful and just precious! I really love your Cinderella top, too!

Ok ladies, I want to hear your ideas!!!

I made a twirly skirt for my daughter. The fabric is really neat, I bought it years ago, and just used it. Its muted colors, and has a bias tape border at the bottom of a muted green, really cute!

Well, I want her to wear it to eat breakfast with Pooh at DW in the MK.

I was thinking of cutting a Mickey Mouse head out of the fabric for a shirt. Or maybe cutting out the letters "Pooh" and doing applique with those?

I want it to be cute and original. Any ideas for what to do with the top? I also thought about shirring the fabric and making a tank top?

Whaddaya guys think?

There should be something to get back to where you were. Mine is a pictures of a spool of thread. When I push it another screen comes up and has a thread spool + and -. That is to jump to the next color. Then it has -1,-10,-100 and all those but +. Those are stitch counts. I just keep pushing it until it looks like it is in the right spot.

I use bobbin thread when embroidering, regular when sewing. Never an issue. My big brother (his name and is a brother) is 10 years old almost!

Did you make any adjustments on your machine to the positioning of your design? If not you should be okay. DO NOT UNHOOP YOUR FABRIC!!! When you get back to it, reload your design into your machine. Put your hoop back on. On your touch screen you should have a picture of a needle with a +/- next to it. Touch that picture, then you can touch the picture of the tread spool and it will go to each color. When you get to the color/step you were on when the machine messed up, then you can advance your needle position by +100 or +10 or +1 stitches until your needle lines up with where you need to start. I usually go back 5 or 10 stitches so that I'm sure it will cover and secure my exsisting stitches. It's really not as hard as it sounds. On the last embroidery I did I broke one needle and bent another so I had to backtrack my needle position two different times.

I have an older Babylock Ellageo. I always use prewound bobbins when I embroidery.

Today, I went to the last Waldemort in my area that has fabric, despite that it's in "the hood." Was looking for Toy Story fabric (and hoping to find Stitch, but I'm resolved to never finding any). Didn't find what I was looking for, but did get 4 yds of a cute Hawaiian shirt print. As I was checking out, the cashier said "isn't it sad that we're losing our fabric dept?"
On the other hand she did tell me next week they would start the clearance. They did have Tinkerbell and Princess fabric, so I may go back. Still sad to see it go though.

Thanks Guys for the quick replies! I am going to go try it. Wish me luck!

I used Avery iron on's this past year. Some were dark transfers and others were light transfers. I made 2 sets for each of us. One set (on brown shirts) held up great. But mine and DH's faded on white shirts when we sweated in the miserable heat. They were super cute and we got TONS of compliments on them but I hesitate to use them again because they faded the first day we wore them.

Did I do something wrong?

I also used Avery transfers to make some lovely audition number tags for our ballet school. They came back from the first stop on the audition tour looking like they had been tie dyed!

I am really disappointed and plan on contacting Avery and asking for a refund. This was a large project (60 tags) and it was all for naught!

Thanks guys for the info on restarting at a certain point in the embroidery - it worked great!

Now --except for the messed-up "h" what do you think of this T-shirt design? This is embroidered on a Hanes 50/50 shirt. How is the placement- should it be higher or lower or is it good where it is?

 

[Costumesaremylife]

My tie dyed shirts for the big give.

First off, I love the design and the font. It's hard to tell w/ it flat, but my only potential concern would be if there's a very, um, curvy girl will you be able to read it? If so, I think it's great!

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

Good point - I think I am going to see if my aunt will try it on for me and take a pic so I can tell if you can still read it on a "curvy girl".

 

[billwendy]

My tie dyed shirts for the big give.

WOW - they are amazing!!! How did you get your Mickey's so nice and formed and dark? I tried once, but my mickey looked a bit blobby.. lol

I think the placement looks good. I try to get things so they are on the center of the chest. That would seem the most appropriate place for that design, too.

My tie dyed shirts for the big give.

Oh, I love those! I need to think about trying some for the next family Disney trip we take. That probably won't be for 2 years or more so I have time to practice.


What do you think of the skirt apron with a pocket? I'm not sure if I like it. It may be the dark brown is too much. I'll probably take it off but I did want to give it a try.

I like having the option; I probably wouldn't use it all the time, but it's a fun add on w/ the right fabric. what about trimming in the white? the brown, while lovely, does draw attention to that line. white trim - or hemmed-might help it blend in more maybe?

As I look at it, I think the size and placement is fine but the brown is too much contrast. I may try a different print combination to see if I like it better.

I like it! I think the apron front is my favorite variation.

I think it is really cute! You should get lots of orders for that one!!

I like it, but I am with Nicole - maybe a white band on the pocket. I love the shirt too....cute!!
