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

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.

Your skirt with the apron is my favorite. I like the pocket, I might balance with two though. Now for my next question how can I get the pattern if I am not on facebook?
 
I didn't do anything different on the tie dye shirts than is in the directions. I basted with dental floss and then used two elastics to block off the mickey. Som are chubbier than others. Only one came out really skinny.
 
So I just realized how long and sharp my nails were.......I was taking the size sticker off a tank top from Target and put a hole in the shirt! I tried out Heather's Anastacia 4x4 design on it anyway and now am trying to think up ways to disguise, er, cover up the hole without it looking like I am covering up something. I would like to save it for DD#3 to wear in May. It is on the fron of the shirt about 1.5- 2 inches away from the design. Any ideas?


Thanks everyone for the compliments on the shirt - I really like the design. It takes 53 minutes to stitch each one out! I got the shirts for $2 each on sale at ACMoore. I was going to charge $18 for each figuring that is $15 profit per shirt towards the 3Day ($2 for shirt, $1 for thread?) Or would you go more considering the time it takes to stitch?
 
So I've already decided I need to get a ruffler foot. I have a Janome, but the local dealer doesn't have the ruffler in stock. I've been looking online and it seems that the screw on feet are about half as much as a snap on. I'm wondering if one is better than the other.

Thanks!

Hi all! A friend turned me onto your webpage. I love all the various projects. Amazing! And they all inspire me to quit my job and sew instead! LOL
 
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!


I'm so sorry. My grandmother just passed away at age 92 and I think she was ready to "go home" also.

I know I don't post much and I hope I'm not butting in, but I wanted to make a plug for hospice.

They do such a good job of making sure that everyone is comfortable. I've been with 2 people who have passed on in a hospice center. I think they do such a good job there of making sure your loved one is not in pain and their support for the family is fantastic.

I just want to say I'm sorry again. Even though we had my grandmother for 92 years, I still think of things I wish I'd asked her.

I like the pocket option but I agree with others that the brown is distracting.
 
I like Hoop De Doo - but I really liked Micky's Backyard BBQ. It was so fun for my kids to dance around with Mickey and the gang and they had food that everyone in my family would eat. I loved it!! Also the kids weren't just sitting around for 2 hours.

Thanks for the input! Any more opinions? Hoop de doo or Mickey's Backyard BBQ? I don't know much about either one. Do they take 1 or 2 TS credits?

Any other dining suggestions? We usually do crystal palace, 1900 park fare, chef mickeys, crt, akershus, ohana, and I am drawing a blank on the rest. We have also done whispering canyon, boma, tusker house, the turning restaurant at epcot (forgetting the name), the coral reef...anything new we should try?

I feel so out of it. I need to make my dining reservations in 6 days and I haven't done research or anything this year. I really want to go, but am just not sure we have the money this year. Do any of you know what time the online dining reservations open up each morning? Sorry for all of the questions. I guess I should go over the dining thread. I just feel like I "know" all of you and value your opinions. ;)
 
Can those of you who bought a PE770 tell me if you have had to adjust your tension. I have been trying to get mine adjusted and it seems that no matter what I try I am still seeing bobbin thread. This is a brand new machine and I have been at this since 7:30 this morning and it's now 10 AM. I am so frustrated!!!!! I had such high hopes for making adorable embroidered outfits for Emily for Easter and it's looking more and more like this won't happen.

I ordered the machine online so I can't just take it back to the dealer. I don't think I'll do that again!!!!!! I could just cry but I'm pretty sure that won't help!!!!

No I did not have to adjust anything. I remember thinking that I could see so much top thread on the bottom of the fabric that something must be wrong. After some research, i guess that is just the way it is. The stitches are not as balanced as they are with regular sewing. Are you using bobbin thread? Bobbin thread is thinner so that may help.

I don't see any of the top thread underneath on any setting. I am using prewound bobbins that I bought from Marathon. I am starting to think my machine is a lemon!!!
 
Does it convert to a sewing machine too? I fixed my brother's tension by going to sewing mode - finding the right tension and then converting back to embroidery mode.

Have you tried rethreading the top & taking out the bobbin & re-inserting it also? I have the 780 & sometimes when the bobbin thread is low or after changing it I have this problem & just re-doing it all helps.
 
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. :cool2:



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. :laughing:

Hi Lisa! I love the pocket... I like the placement as it seems to be in sync with all the placement of the other applique on the top and apron front. Perhaps trimming out the edge of the pocket in a different contrasting color other than the brown would make it really flow? That's just my 2 cents ;)
 
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?

I just love your shirt design. It makes me think of my neighbor who lost both Ta Ta's to cancer. I just gave her a quilt in hope to give her comfort.

My tie dyed shirts for the big give.

Very nice shirts, you are so kind to give to others.
 
I have one completely finished! I decided to charge $25 each because of how long it takes to make each one and based on the info a few of you have given me. SO I have white & light pink shirts ready to make at home. ANd I was thinking of trying a black shirt too so the embroidery really stands out. WDYT?

Hopefully they will bring in a lot of money for a very good cause because the way I see it -If we can find a cure for breast cancer, a cure for other types of cancer is not far behind. I posted them on my FB page and hev 2 friends who already want them. So we will see. I am going to make hopefully a bunch in advance to sell at craft fairs and such this summer. I plan on adding a few more designs too.
 
I have a question for everyone! I am looking for some peter pan applique designs and can not find them ANYWHERE! I am also looking for some Animal Kingdom ones, Mickey in a safari hat ect cn anyone steer me in the right directions. Not that SOT has taken down all their copywritten ones I am struggling!
