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

[Diz-Mommy]

I have a question for all the wonderful sewers here, if you have an embroidery machine where do you get your disney designs?

My mother and I are looking into getting an embroidery machine and I wanted to know if there was a way to make disney images I found on google into embroidery designs (PES files) or where/how you guys get all the great disney designs on your outfits?

I really want to make some outfits with disney embroidered designs for my niece this year for our trip, but I can't seem to find the ones that I am looking for (like the minnie or mickey heads, or the mickey cupcake design, etc.) that i've seen on these threads so often.

If you get a Brother "D" series machine, it will come with a lot of Disney designs. My advice would be NOT to buy a machine just because you like 2 or 3 of the designs it has preloaded on it though, because you can always find someone selling them down the road. There are definatley other features that will be more important to you. But as the others have said before, I love HS's designs.

I love my Brother Duetta though, it's only need to go to the shop twice in the 3 years I've had it. One time shouldn't even be counted because it was a matter of user error, and the other could probably be argued the same when it comes right down to it. I'm terrible about reading owners manuals I like to learn as I go a.k.a crash as I go!

We are getting to make our ADR's tomorrow morning....would you eat at CRT in the evening now that the princesses are there or would you go to HDDR? We have never been to HDDR and heard that it is really fun, but I know my girls like eating in the castle. We don't want to do both since they each take up 2 dining credits.

Hmm, if I had a clue what HDDR was I might have an opinion

We've only ever done breakfast in the Castle, so I guess I'm not much help anyhow...there is also a nice Princess breakfast in Epcot maybe that's HDDR?

Sorry, it stands for Hoop De Doo Review!

My attempt at the emma. I changed it though. Kind of a emma and feliz crossed.

I tried my first t-shirt embroidery, messed it up even though you can't tell yet.


I plan on doing the design again on another t-shirt, what do you think of the colors? Should I change the color of the t-shirt if I leave the colors in the eggs the same.

I really like that dress...but I LOVE that embroidery pattern. I just got it today...but my machine ate my sample!

As far as colors go...I am no help on that at all! I never like the colors I start up with, so I'm a total color looser!

I don't have an answer as I don't have wee ones

Had scrolled down to the next post before I got it.

I've been to HDDR three times and CRT twice. With that disclaimer , I think your kids would prefer CRT. HDDR is fun, and we went when my sons were young, but it's probably geared more to adults than kids. As I type that, I know others will reply that their kids really enjoyed it, which my sons did, but you can't beat CRT.

On the other hand, if your family really enjoys singing and dancing, then try HDDR. There's no menu choice at HDDR so maybe you can check out the menu and see if it's something your family would like. (I went last year -- the fried chicken was excellent.)

Super cute dress! Such pretty fabric.
I love that embroidery on the tshirt. It is soooooo cute! I like the thread colors. They are so "springy" and I think they look nice with the tshirt color.
I want an embroidery machine!

 

[busy mommy]

I know this has been asked before, but I can't find the answer. What do you put on the back of an applique to make it soft and not irritate the child? I never put anything on the back of Maddie's stuff, because she has never complained. But I am making some outfits for the big give and want to make sure they are comfy. Thanks a bunch!

WOW - I've been gone for a few days and found I was 40+ pages behind

My birthday was last week. My family sure knows what I like:

Now that is my kind of Birthday! What is the name of the front Moda fabric?

Well, it took me all week, but here it is. My DD4 wanted "a hawaii dress with Lilo and Stitch on it." She picked out the fabrics. I know it's busy, but it's the style I wanted and she had such pride in picking it out. Every time she'd peek into my sewing room to check on my progress, she'd giggle. Stitch is her favorite. She sleeps with "Stitchie" every night and takes him to pre-K everyday in her book bag so he can be her nap buddy. I'll get a picture of her and Stitch and the dress in the morning. Here it is all laid out on the coffee table so she can find it first thing in the morning.

This is really pretty. I can see my youngest loving this dress.

Love the Belle dress posted earlier! I can't wait to see it on your princess!

Forgot to post pics yesterday! I haven't finished Caleb's shirt yet (actually am working on 2 for him - a Dash one and a Stitch one.) But I did get pics of Ella's Minnie Cutie vida.

Not sure why Minnie's face looks a little wrinkled?

Couple of close-ups of the Cutie fabric - kinda blurry. . . I sort of wish I'd picked a different dress pattern to show off the fabric a bit more, but what can you do?

Cute Cute Cute! I love the Vida and I loved the close ups. Your top stitching is really pretty and so is your flower button.

Hello all! Love all the beautiful things posted recently! The Minnie Vida is soooo cute!

Quick fly-by question: Does anyone know of anywhere I can get a JoJo and/or Goliath embroidery design (PES)??? Pretty please??? One of my DDs (Hayleigh) is a HUGE JoJo fan (yeah - and the show was cancelled before she was even born... LOL). I'd love to make her a JoJo/Goliath outfit for our Hollywood & Vine breakfast day.

Thanks!

I would check out digitalbydesign. You can convo her for custom designs too.

You can also purchase a little metal gadget over near the quilting supplies and use your iron to make bias tape.

A lot cheaper. $5.99

I have this little gadget and I love it. I make bias tape so much I ended up buying the bias tape maker. It is expensive but well worth the money to me. They have pretty good sales on it every now and then. I also bought it on a 10% off your total order weekend.

I think your dresses look great! Your ready for the real thing now!!

Posted earlier but I didn't see any replies. Is anybody heading to the AQS show in Lancaster (PA) this week? Looks like I will be heading over with MIL on Friday. I'm really looking forward to it, as I missed every local quilt show last year, and I bet AQS puts on one heck of a show.

By the way, I noted on the AQS website that if you purchase a membership ($25), you get a 10% discount card for JoAnn.

Missed your earlier post. I hadn't heard of the AQS. But it's something I'll have to look at. Do they do thes every year?

There is an iron on interfacing that is really soft. If Kirsta complains of something being itchy, I put a peice over the back. It usually hangs on long enough to be washed a few times. I either reiron it, or peel it off. By that time, the embroidery should be soft enough.

Well I guess you haven't lived until you have fished half and M&M out of your son's nose. While I was cooking dinner, James came into the kitchen crying, and he has bright yellow discharge coming from his nose. I finally pieced together he had an M&M up his nose. Luckily, it was only half of one, and all the crying helped soften it up so it started coming out. I don't think he'll be doing that again. Just thought I'd share a glimpse of time at my house.

I think that's just a rite of passage for many kids. For one of my sons, it was a kernal of corn (that one was an accident while eating!) and for my daughter it was a perla bead.... at 12:30 on New Year's Eve several years ago.....

Definitely NOT fun!

My SN DS8 likes to put beads in his ear....each and every one requires a visit to the ER. The last time it required a round of antibiotics, because before he told me he tried to get it out with a ...fork! I have thrown away all the seed beads I can find....but he is still finding them!

Oh no! How awful! I am thankful it was only an M&M for us this time.

I booked an illuminations tour on Sept 11 for my birthday and I was kind of thinking about spliting it with another family to keep cost down. Anyone on here interested???

I love the colors you chose! I think it looks great on pink.

I really like the other top too

On a sidenote, I've never heard of so many people using cloth diapers. I don't know anyone that used them. Is it more popular than it used to be My youngest is 4. I can barely keep laundry done as it is, I can't imagine adding a bunch of diapers to the mix.

This is the twirl skirt I made for my daughter. She like the minnie dot I made for her friend, so I told her I would make her one too. She picked the fabric.

I wasn't overjoyed with the t shirt, but I needed to cover the hole. She liked it, so I guess that's all that matters.

Look how dead our yard is. I don't think spring is ever going to come to my neighborhood.

Sooo cute! You did a great job with the appliques.

I wanted to thank everyone that wished Corey well with his BPA competition this weekend. Unfortunately, his team didn't win. But, I'm still very proud of all of them. (especially Corey!) One of the boys on his team was doing really poorly in school just two years ago. He decided to make a change, and look at what he did! He made it to the State competition. To me, that's a win even if they didn't get the trophy (and trip to California....). I feel bad for this boy, because he was REALLY upset. Corey was very disappointed, but he is handling it pretty well, considering how much work they put into this. He was pretty quiet when he got home today, but then he started talking to me about it, and I think it made him feel better.

Personally, I just wanted to cry for them, but I fought that reaction! Lydia however burst into tears when I told her! It was a mixture of her being sorry for Corey and sorry for herself. She REALLY wanted him to go to Disney Land so he could tell her all about the Nemo and Pinocchio rides!

I'm sorry they didn't win, but I;m glad he's taking it well. It's so hard when you work that hard for something & then don't win.

Okay, so in between customs I was able to squeeze in some practice time and get a little more aquainted with my embroidery machine! YAY!
I used my practice time to embroider the name of one of my friend's new little princesses.... the mother doesn't like pink, LOL, so I created this little receiving blanket for her. I was so happy with the embroidery! I probably would have tilted the name more at the corner next time, but this was good enough for now
I know it's simple to all you big time embroidery machine experts But baby steps will get me eventually there!!

Such a pretty blanket!

okay, so I'm cracking up at the "souvenir baby" and "real Disney Magic" stories...
We went to Toronto for our anniversary once, primarily to see the Royal Canadian Ballet perform The Nutcracker.
December. Mary Kate was born the following September. For several years we had our little princess believing that she had "Made in Canada" stamped on her butt. I can't begin to count the number of times I caught her doing contortionist movements in front of the mirror trying to find that stamp!

I finally have enough posts to be able to upload my princess pics! LOL They took a bit of a beating by my 4 year old. but that's ok.

So adorable!
