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

I think she sounds jealous. Bite your tongue, and when your done your dresses, return the machine. As everyone has suggested. Tell her your looking into a machine for yourself, and want to borrow from another friend, so you can decide what type you'd like. Don't hurt the friendship because she wishes she can do what you are, or the adoration that her kids have for your dresses, wishing it was her.

I would be upset too. I'm sorry she doesn't appreciate all of your hard work. I definitely don't think people realize all of the hard work that goes into making things. I also agree with what someone else said...she is probably jealous.

Thanks for your support. I feel better now and am letting it go!

This may be an odd question for here - but I am looking for something like a second seat or buggy board that is comfortable for parents without kicking it while puhsing the stroller. DO they make such a product. I have a used buggy board but the straps do not fit my BJ stroller so I can't use that. I tried rigging it and it sorta worked but I would still kick it. DO they make something that is not directly between you & the stroller?

I have the Peg Perego Pliko P3 that the wonderful Stephres gave to me. It has 2 little spots for a bigger kid to stand on the back. They don't get in the way at all.

Wow Nicole!! Everything looks great!!! I love the little bubble and the matching outfits! So sweet! I've been thinking of you often.

Hi,
Just a quick hi!
I am back from our trip to visit my Father..I was thinking I would do a non-disney trip report.

I am trying to clean up a bit. hannah has been whiney and cranky all morning, she is finally napping!

I am doing some Spring cleaning...

Anyone know where I can sell used cloth diapers these days? I know ebay no longer allows it....
I had a lot from Megan, but Im not CDing Hannah, so its time to purge my stash.

Is there a website that sells WDW merchandise? I want some things for Megan's birthday..

I was just thinking about you today and wondering if you were back yet.

My son put one of those small Sandylion stickers up his nose once (a Disney sticker mind you) both nostrils were bleeding from his attempts to dig it out and so I couldn't tell where to start my search. I asked him "which one is it in?" and he says "a Daisy one" as in Daisy Duck Anyhow, a high powered flashlight and a set of tweezers later, I found the right nostril and Daisy was rescued.

The scary part is when you go digging, you're afraid the kid is either gonna get scared and snarf it up into his lungs, or you're going to push it up farther. I must agree the up the nose stuff seems to be a right of passage...for kids and parents!

Great way to keep it on topic with the Disney sticker up the nose! LOL! I had to laugh when I came to the "Daisy One" comment! But, I'm sure it wasn't too funny at the time!

I have been lurking, seeing all the wonderful stuff everyone has been making. Having my fourth has made life a little more interesting!! I am about to make our dining reservations for our Sept trip so I am starting to think about what I will be sewing for the girls! I am very excited. Right now I am working on some dresses for a friend who is going in May. She has been allowing me to borrow her disney embroidery machine (the wally one from a few years back) so I am doing it as a thanks. She is providing the fabric. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has used disney fabrics or colors for Carla's new dress pattern. I am trying to figure out what would work best. Any suggestions?

Hopefully I will be on here more regularly. I have missed my sewing fix!!

I would think something with a big print would work really well with that pattern. Are we talking about the Cathy pattern? I have one for Tessa that is almost done that is made with a large flower print and it's really cute!

Then when I was finished my DD who was 8 at the time says to me "Mommy, how to you get them to look so real?" I guess I did OK.

That is too cute!! I love it!

Belle:

Well, you made it to pizza night! Teresa and I were talking about how talented you are and that we both adore the Tiana dress!

This board is addictive when I first read that warning when I found this site I thought yall where exaggerating. There is so much pretty stuff on this site!! This is the conversation I had with my dh this morning:

I do not shop at WalMart very often so when he was reconciling the checkbook there was a WalMart charge for $55.

He called and said what did you buy at WalMart for $55?

I said - Oh they had a huge clearance on Fabric and I got a bunch of really good deals. (mostly Disney)

after a long pause he said - you know you don't have a sewing machine yet, right?

I had no logical explanation to this.

You know what's funny, right after I read about all these things getting stuck up kids noses this morning, my Mom called me. My cousin's little boy had to have his adnoids taken out and his tonsils, I think? Anyway, they discovered that part of his breathing problems were caused by a Lego that they figured had been stuck in his nose for a month or two!

Oh my gosh! That's so weird!! The same exact thing happened with MY cousin's little boy this week!

Let me guess the theme- cuteness galore? Because that's what I see! Darla outdid herself with the Alice dress and the other outfit is too cute! What a great deal on it, too!

lorilais_mommie

I don't know if it's due to global warming, the HINI virus, or "operator error" but I don't seem to have the know-how to copy photos.

That just made me laugh! You're too funny! Did you check out the tutorial on how to multi-quote in the first post? Or, are the pictures disappearing when you try to multi-quote?

I love seeing those cute faces again! What great outfits! The purses are wonderful, too!!

I know someone else answered, but yes I ordered mine from fabric.com I also have this
http://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=f9bfdda5-4ad6-45c0-9197-d2025502dc81

I also have this material cut out to make a vida.

Thank you everyone on the nice comments on the shirts. I now have some more t-shirts to make for Easter.

Thank you! I just love that fabric!

Wow just love everyones stuff...I have been a designer of Childrens Boutique Clothing for 3 years now. The end of last year I basically stopped creating...I still on occassion design and I will do orders for my past customers if they ask.

I thought I would share a few of my favorite past designs

!! Wow, you've made some wonderful things! I love the little boy stuff! Too cute!

Sort of, there was a 12 year old in having a baby.

Oh, that is so sad.

Which brings me to my BIG NEWS!!
I bid on a Brother PE-750D machine yesterday on that site and WON the bid for a very reasonable amount I think. I am so excited. I can't wait to get it.

WOO-HOO!!! How exciting!!!

well friends and prayer buddies

I just talked to my dad -- he took Anne (mom) to the doctor today; they offered to drain the fluid from the pleural cavity again, and she refused treatment.
Hospice has now been called and will take over at their home tomorrow or the next day.

In the meantime, she is causing grief for all of us. She's accusing Dad's kids of not wanting her kids to visit, saying we all have never liked her kids, etc. It's been 40 years. If we didn't like them do you think we would still communicate with them? We've been BEGGING them to visit with her.
Anyway, please continue your prayers when you think of it. Dad still wants her to remain at home...he will need strength and comfort that only God can provide.


Darla

and prayers for you and your family.

Can someone help me out?

DD 'accidentally' snipped one of her favorite t-shirts. Any idea on if this is fixable? It's a loose tunic-type shirt with crochet trim at the neck, so it's not like I can stick an applique on it.

Of course, she wants to wear it to school tomorrow for twin day...

Thanks!!!

Deb

Do you have a picture of the shirt you could post so we could see where you could fix it? Sorry if you already posted one, I'm not caught up yet.

Hello everyone
I have just joined the world of facebook and I don't have very many friends. I would love if some of you would become my friends. I would love to get a preview of all the wonderful creations ya'll have done before they go on here. I did it under my business name Long Mountain Embroidery. But you ladies know me as lynnanddbyz. Thank you so much I look forward to seeing you on there.

I friended you!

Can I vent for a second? I mentioned yesterday that I am making dresses for a friend who allowed me to borrow her disney embroidery machine ( the cheapest one and she does not know how to sew). Well, I have made four dresses for her so far for her vacation coming up. I gave her the lastest one this morning. She barely thanked me and commented that she like a different hem. I stayed up till 12:30am finishing it and that is it?! Two others I gave to her daughter for her birthday. I got the thank you today and the note just said thank you. In fact, she told me the other day that her daughters favorite gift was a note card set from her party. Seriously! I have spent MAJOR time one this and they do not seem to appreciate it. Oh, and I overheard her going on and on about how I can make the dresses because I am borrowing her machine. UGH! Am I being crazy here? I so don't want to make the other three dresses I have planned!

Thanks for letting me get it out!

UGH!! That's just not nice! Even if she were paying you, I would think she would gush a little over the cuteness of the dresses! But, if she's not even paying you for them, that is even more hurtful!

here's one more with Megan (who despite the breezy day was convinced her shoes made her feet hot, meanwhile my Father is constantly cold, had his sweater on)

Your mom is so pretty! I really love the way that shirt looks on her, too. The picture of your dad and mom with Megan is so precious!

TOP STITCH

What is the proper spacing for a top stitch?

I don't know if it's proper, but I usually try to keep it around 1/8".

 

[HeatherSue]

Back to my sickbed... the bug I was fighting earlier this week has won and I'm feeling wiped out after less than 30 minutes trying to catch up on email and such.

Ugh! I feel for you! This has been the worst winter for illnesses that I can remember! I hope you feel better soon!

WOW!!! These are SO cute!!! They are really going to love these! The matching bags are perfect, too! Thank you so much!! E-mail me if you need the address!

 

[glorib]

I'm having sewing block! I want to make something for Ella to wear to kindergarten screening, but I just can't come up with anything. And the non-disney fabric in my stash just isn't inspiring me at the moment. I was thinking of ruffle-hem easy fits, a peasant top and a simply sweet, but now just need to find some fabric. I plan to go out to Hobby Lobby tomorrow and peruse, hoping for inspiration. . .

Anyone have a super brilliant and adorably cute idea? Or photos to share to inspire me? Oh, yeah - kindergarten screening is Tuesday, so it has to be something I can whip up in a day or so. I know if anyone can inspire me, it's all of you!

 

[PolyndianPrincessJes]

I have the Peg Perego Pliko P3 that the wonderful Stephres gave to me. It has 2 little spots for a bigger kid to stand on the back. They don't get in the way at all.

Finally!! Something I can comment on since I have absolutely no hope of contributing to anything else you smarty pants seamstresses gab about. Someday, someday...

Anyway, I am 5'10, and it wasn't until I found the P3 that I fell in love with a stroller. I didn't kick the back (like I did with most others), and DNiece fits perfectly on the footboard. I love my P3 so much I'm considering getting preggo since DS will soon not need it (he only even uses it now at WDW).

 

[xanphylus]

Ok- I need help. In a fit of good intentions, I brought my sewing machine home from my mother's house (its been in the basement since I first bought it). I tried and tried, but I can't thread the needle and bobbin for my life. I have never been able to figure this out - that's why it ended up in the basement in the first place. I was told to try here- if anyone can help me- it's you guys! You make the coolest stuff ever!!

I really, really want to try to make my DS1 a bowling shirt in that really cute cars fabric- but I can't. I won't even buy a pattern until I get the basics. What should I do?

Anyone know where to start for a real beginner? I have a small, White brand sewing machine- I even broke the needle yesterday trying this..... sigh. If I ever figure it out- I can do more cool stuff with the Big Give and I really want to!

Help please! Where do I start? Any help would be lovely and I thank you in advance. I want that shirt so bad for him, one of his only words is "car" and I can't find any in stores.

I was talking about the Cathy pattern. I was wondering if anyone tried the red/blakc/white/yellow minnie dot combos. Also any of the disney fabrics out there. I wonder how the new Peter Pan stuff would look...

I love seeing those cute faces again! What great outfits! The purses are wonderful, too!!

Thanks!

UGH!! That's just not nice! Even if she were paying you, I would think she would gush a little over the cuteness of the dresses! But, if she's not even paying you for them, that is even more hurtful!

I am trying to let go but it does hurt. She is a friend so I am trying to believe that she is not trying to hurt me!

I had a White given to me by my MIL & it took me a few years b/c it was so hard to figure the threading & tension. Do you have a manual for it? That's going to be the only way to get it all figured out easily. If you don't have one, maybe you can google it & find one online or call the company to get a copy of it. I really had trouble getting the tension right on mine, so you may need to play with that.

I have a basic White and I have never have a problem. It was given to me a few years ago but maybe because it's a basic machine I have been able to use it. Have you gone to the White website and looked for a store in your area that sells them. You may be able to find a store that will give you a few tutorials on how to use it. Try whitesewing.com and see what you come up with. Look for stores that sell or repair them and call and ask for help. If you don't have the owners manual you may be able to download it from the website or email them and have it mailed to you. I hope that helps, if not don't give up, post again and we'll see what we can come up with.
Keep us posted!

I am very suspisious..... As most of you know my son is in the USAF and stationed in OK. I am in NJ. He is married and they have my only grandchild, Emily Rose. Anyway they are coming home for Easter. Originally this was going to be a surprise for everyone they were going to be here April 1st which is my husbands birthday and surprise everyone. I was going to be the only one that knew they were coming. The plan was to tell everyone that Marty couldn't get leave and they weren't coming but after a horrible winter followed by the death of a beloved Uncle last month I told them that the family really needed something to look forward so we canceled the surprise part of the plan. The kids decided to come earlier and were supposed to be here today. On Tuesday Marty calls and says that his leave was canceled for the weekend because they have a project at work and he won't be able to leave until Sunday morning and they will be here by Tuesday. Yesterday I call my Daughter-in-Law and she doesn't answer her cell, that never happens. My son calls 5 minuets later but I didn't get it in time so I call him right back and get his voice mail, also unusual. He calls me back 10 minutes later and I can tell he's in the car so I ask what he's up to and he tells me that he and Jen and Emily are on their way to Laughton to the mall because Jen and Emily haven't been out in a few days and have cabin fever. Laughton is an hour away from their house. It doesn't make sense that they would drive an hour to the mall and back just to get out 2 days before they take a 3 day road trip!
I am thinking they are trying to surprise me and while I would be delighted to see them here early I am in a little bit of a panic because I have 2 outfits that I want to get done for Emily this weekend and then of course there is the laundry, and housekeeping that I usually get done on the weekends and I really need to get out and get some groceries, etc. OK it's 5:30 am and I have a simply sweet and easy fits to cut out.

Did you buy it at Joann's? If you did, maybe someone in the store can show you how to thread it.

Have you ever done any sewing? If not, you can practice sewing without even threading the machine! Just use the needle to follow the lines on a piece of lined paper. It will help you to get a feel for the machine. After that you could make placemats or something similar that is easy but will give you some practice before you move on to clothing.

Where in GA are you? I seem to be having basic 'sewing' classes this week in my studio....my DIL is trying to make some dresses to sell...


If I were you my first stop would be the internet to see if there is a manual there for your machine. (I always get the manual from the internet with any new machine I am getting, and devour it before the machine gets here...) I know some manuals are better than others...but that should give you a place to start.

Then, I would take a deep breath, lock the kids away somewhere (LOL) grab a cup of coffee and sit in front of the machine with the manual. Read it paragraph by paragraph and not go on to the next paragraph until I understood what the writer was saying. If there are pictures to accompany it, make sure my results match the picture...if not, redo it!

I know that sounds simple...but believe me...every time I have to rethread my serger, I have to re read the manual. It usually takes me about an hour to get it threaded right and another hour to get the tension right! I go at it with the understanding it is going to take me that long and try not to stress....

My DIL had problems winding a bobbin...she had tried so many times she was in tears. She was so upset, because she just ended up with a tangled mess whenever she tried. Finally my DS took a look at it and did it the first time. Once she saw what she was doing wrong she was able to laugh at her problem, cause it was so simple.

It is a learning experience of trial and error... but you will get it...


PM me if I can help...





====================

Yes, I know...NEVER a simple short answer from me!!!!

I haven't been keeping up in the last week- sorry about that! But, I did want to show you what I made for Tessa's birthday party on Saturday. She wanted a Rock' N Roll outfit. I thought LisaZoe's Zoe pattern would work great for a rock 'n roll skirt! The pattern was really fun to do and it wasn't difficult at all!

I also made some appliques for Tessa and Sawyer's shirts. Be prepared for too many pictures!

Here's the cake I made her:

Here's my favorite picture from the day:

After I shot these pictures, we were off to Chuck E. Cheese for her party! The place was PACKED! We had 20 kids at the party and it was a madhouse. They had a great time, though!

Tessa got SO many compliments on her outfit! She loved it!

Love the skirt! Looks like something dd6 would love. That looks like it was a great party, but Tessa just looks like she's getting too big!

do you have any of the storybook fabric that walmart had at the beginning of school. that is what mia had for her first day of prek and it was a big hit

 

[glorib]

Now I'm kicking myself because I picked up that fabric a couple of different times, but talked myself out of it. Now I wish I hadn't - that would be really cute! Maybe if nothing strikes my fancy at Hobby Lobby, I'll go to the only WalMart left around that still has fabric and check to see if they still have some.

Is your son at Tinker AFB? Totally not the point of the post, I know, but we live about 25 minutes from there, and my grandparents worked there for yeeears.

 

[birdie757]

Oh great...thanks for the info. Yes, that is what I got. I was hoping that would be the case. Do you know what the difference in the PE-750D and the PE-750D FS is (can't find anything about the difference)? Which one is yours (mine is PE-750D)? I will probably be bugging you with more questions when it arrives.
Oh yeah..one more now...it takes "A" bobbins, correct?

I have never heard of FS before I have the PE-750D. I got mine back in January. I didn't pay attention to the bobbins but I know that they are exactly the same as my Brother CS 6000t. Mine machine came with a whole spool of bobbin thread...so that is one less thing you will need to pick up before it arrives. It has quite a few bobbins that come with it. And since I usually use white bobbin thread I have never really used more than two at a time.

One thing you might want to do is go to brother's website and download a few of their free designs to play around with when you get your machine. They have some pretty butterflies there. I collected some big scraps I had of cotton and did several testers before I bought anything.

Question away...I don't mind. I really like my machine.

Do you have a JoAnn's Store near you? They have coordinating Juvenile Apparel Fabrics that are really cute. Some with flowers, Dogs, cats etc. Even some fabrics for boys with bugs and robots. Have fun shopping!

I bought one of these for DD and I can't thread it. It was so irritating I threw it away. I even sent an email to White asking about how to thread it. They offered no help or support. If you have your receipt return it!

I bought one of these for DD and I can't thread it. It was so irritating I threw it away. I even sent an email to White asking about how to thread it. They offered no help or support. If you have your receipt return it!

Oh my goodness...that is EXACTLY the one we were thinking about getting for my GD2...she is wanting a sewing machine sooo bad. I thought it would be better than one of those kiddie toy ones...glad you warned me!

(and yes, I am not one to recommend buying a toy machine..I'd much rather buy a cheap 'real' machine for their first machine. Last longer and teaches them more, but she is only two years old. My DD9's first machine was a regular sized Singer...my first was an o-l-d singer in a round wooden case! And, I still have it!!!!)
