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

[MinnieVanMom]

Olivia is soooo cute!!!

You guys remember that kinda eastery fabric with the ribbon stitched on it that I had gotten on clearance and was afraid of??? Well, since I thought they would be a bust because someone mentioned how badly it fell apart when it was cut I just said what the heck and tried Carla's Cathy pattern with it - I couldnt do the little 1/4 inch folds at the neckline, so I kinda had to do it like her pesant top - I kinda like how they turned out! I have matching wide ribbon if they want a sash and am thinking of making headbands out of the same fabric if Im motivated to do them tomorrow night.

THey are fluffier and prettier colors in real life - lol!!

Wendy, these are so pretty and I love them. They remind of the dress Wendy wears.

I hope Daniel can find a few fun things to do while others ride. Disney will make magic for Daniel.

I'm not sure I've even posted on this thread yet!
WOW, things have been busy!
We had a GREAT vacation over spring break. The cruise was amazing!

then, we got home and hit the floor runnning! The most recent venture - the realization that there is a real possibility that we will be moving in a few months! It's like it finally hit me when we got home!
SO, I've been cleaning out the sewing room - getting prepped for a SERIOUS de-stash! Those of you on facebook have probably seen my event invite (those that haven't, let me know and I'll give you the details - it will be on facebook!).

ANYWAY, I can't believe the amount of fabric that I have accumulated - even after de-stashing in the fall! I've just started my second album because the 200 images in the first album wasn't enough!

OK - back in with the camera! This stuff has to go!

Welcome back!! I'm glad to hear you had fun on your cruise, I have fond memories of ours too. It's hard to believe we didn't have any children then and now we almost have THREE

Please add me to your Facebook friends if you would, and also send me an invite to your destash party!! Lord knows I don't "need" anymore fabric, but let's face it "needs" and "wants" are just two different creatures!

I need to whine and you all will understand my whine best. I cut my finger last night as I was starting dinner. Not a big cut, but the knife went in about a 1/4 inch. My finger hurts every time I use it or put pressure on my hand. I really don't know if I can sew for a few days. I use both hands so much when I sew. The only good thing is that I cut my finger on my right hand and I am left handed. Luckily I have Ashley's Easter dress done, but I have a twirl skirt I need to be working on.

And on a different note. I need a tiny little prayer for Sunday. I am singing the first ever duet with DH at church for Easter. We have been married 13 years and never has it worked out for us to sing together. So this is very special to us. But he is a better singer then me. I really have to work hart with this song to be as loud as him. I also have to get through this twice Sunday morning with two services.


And I now good with the multi quotes so Wendy I really like the Easter dresses and hope Daniel will still have a great trip without roller coaster.

Candicenicole I love the peter pan vida. And hope everything is OK with the baby.


Thanks

April

I am looking for sew in labels to put in my items I am selling. Does anyone know where I can find some reasonable priced labels? Thank you very much. You can PM me if you would rather.

...yes rolled hem...

Is there a trick? I'm sure it is something simple I am missing. I have a Singer something or other...guess I need to check that...although I know most of you have a much better serger...It really shouldn't be this hard!

Nini

I was glad to see this, Nini, I am so frustrated! I followed all the setting directions in my manual, and the thing that comes out looks like, well, it doesn't look like something I want to put on my granddaughters! I'm so frustrated! I have no idea what to do when the instruction manual fails me. I guess I'm off to the internet to see if there's any better help. I had plans to make 4 Olivia's for my DGDs this week. I know I could do regular hems on the sleeves, but I don't want to!!

Just wanted to pop in to tell everyone I had my stitches removed today and got my lab results....IT WAS BENIGN!!!!!! Thank you all for your prayers and for putting up with me these last few weeks. You are the best group of friends a person could ask for!!!! Now I am so ready to get busy sewing I can't stand it. My head has just not been in it to really do anything.

Please keep Baby Nathan in your prayers! According to some fetal Fibern-something test there is a 40% chance he will be born in the next 2 weeks and 80% within 2-3weeks. They have given me steriods however he will still require a stay in the NICU according to what I have been told by the doctors. If I can hold out 4 weeks or more, then that is the best result. 32 weeks now so every new week brings new hope that he will be okay when he is born! Already 2 cm Diliated and go back tomorrow to see if that has changed.

When I am not playing seamstress I am an L&D nurse who works with pre-term labor (antepartum) patients. I guessing you had a postive fetal fibernection (not the best speller - we spell it FFN) test. My doctors do a FFN for a negative result. A postive result doesn't really mean much. The FFN has a high false postive rate. On the other side - a negative test is 99% accurate. This post may be a mute point by the time you read it but - I'll say it anyway. STAY IN BED!!!! You are to keep your feet elevated and in a semi reclined to laying postion. Sewing does not count (sorry). Only get up for bathroom breaks and one short shower. Have someone else take care of everything else!!! Bedrest is the single most important factor in preventing preterm labor. I am not sure about you medical background but my advice is to stay in bed and try not to worry about it. (Way harder to do than say!!) Take your procardia as scheduled, don't miss a dose - set an alarm clock for the night dose. Are you taking 10 or 20 mg? The next step to stop preterm labor is Magnesium sulfate and it is not so much fun. (A high risk med with some yucky side effects). All that being said - sometimes labor can't be stop that is not your fault if it happens. The baby has had steriods and that helps. I have seen people be 2cm for weeks and months at a time. I personally was 3-4 cm for 6 weeks. If you have a questions-you can PM me, I'll be glad to give you advice or information.

Hi All:
Let me preface this request by saying I'M LOST WITHOUT MY EMBROIDERY MACHINE!

I'm going to attempt to use my sewing machine to applique some Mickey ears on my parent's shirts for Animal Kingdom. Does anyone have a pattern or template of 2-3 inch Mickey ears (suitable to put on the logo section of a shirt)? It's all so much easier with an embroidery machine!

Thanks so much!

Do you know anyone with a Cricut and a Mickey cartridge? That should get you a nice template.

I hand embroidered one a few years ago and just used a plate and a small bowl to trace around....

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant cruise pictures! I love to see other peoples trip pictures.

We might take a cruise, but probably not Disney. Please don't vote me off of the board. My youngest dd's b day is sept 16th and we vacation over her birthday and that doesn't work out well with a Disney cruise for this yearl. Plus, I can't convince my husband the extra money for a disney cruise is worth it. I'll try harder to convince him for next year, since the dates aren't good this year anyway.

I've considered doing a sort of a trip report - but haven't started yet. I'll let you all know if I decide to take the plunge!

I'll be praying all goes well! What are you guys singing?
I could use the same prayer! I'm soloing this Sunday and haven't soloed in YEARS. I'm singing "They Could Not" - an oldie but goodie!

I make my own. I buy the printable fabric from either Joann or an office supply store (which ever is cheaper at the moment). At Joann they are in the quilting section, people use them for quilt labels/tags. I set up the labels using MS Word and print the whole sheet at one time, I cut them apart and then sew them into the garment when I need it. They are cheap and easy to do. Once you have your template set up you just reprint when you need more.

I will pray for you too. This is only the second solo I have done and only one with Scott. We are doing "East to West" by Casting Crown.

It is part of the program we are doing The choir is singing the whole hour which is why I am worried about my voice. I will say choir is one of my favorite activities at church.

You mean something like this?:

I just google Mickey head applique and then use the image I find. Use either photo editing software or your printers print % to size it. I am the opposite of you. I have an embroidery machine and am afraid to use it so I do all applique by hand! The hardest part is around the curve of the ears.
Good luck!!
