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

Question for you guys.....

How do you sew on rubbery material? My feeders and foot wants to bunch up. For example, I am doing the front panel of a purse. I put ironed on interfacing stuff on both of the panels - it is a rubbery feel - and I have to put both good sides together (I will turn it later). I can't sew it straight to save my life-it grabs the foot or feeders. I did try to put the paper back on it but I can't see to sew the edges - does that make sense? I am afraid if I use tissue paper I won't be able to get it off. I think I used the wrong lining....

Any ideas?

Maybe try tearaway stabilizer cut to the same size as the pieces you are sewing, then tearing off after? Just a thought, not sure if that is the same thing you already tried with interfacing.

I got my new embroidery machine a week ago and have hardly had any time to play with it but I did manage to get a picture of it and the first couple things I made on it uploaded.

I took my DGDs to Disney on Ice ("Let's Celebrate") today. They had a great time. Thankfully, I took a few pictures of the outfits and them wearing them before we left because I didn't get any good ones of them there. I took them by myself (ages 5 and 2) so you can imagine why I didn't get too many pictures. This is the oldest in her Tiana outfit (as she called it):

And the little one in her Mickey outfit. I did the appliques (with the pre-loaded Disney embroidery from my machine) on the shirt and the skirt.

Love the outfits, great job with the new machine!

I almost forgot, I have something to post! :thumbsup2

This is a Tiana dress I made using the tutorial that was posted here by Jas0202 (I also put the tute in the bookmarks and on the Disboutiquer blog)

I love it! Definitely want to try making one of these some day.

We're back from Disney and had a FAN-tastic time! Here are two pictures of Epcot day, the girls all had Minnie dresses in their own style and the Mommas had rosettes so we could match too! If you're gonna go all out, do it at Disney right? :cutie:

Problem is now I am completely hooked and want to start on a whole new set for our September trip. :) I'm even bummed we will only be there 4 days which limits me to 4 outfits!

Love the coordinating outfits, so cute!
 
Thanks for all of the compliments on the Disney on Ice outfits and the machine. I am having a lot of fun with it.
Now that I have done one applique though...I understand all the questions about cutting around it to remove excess fabric....how in the world do ya'll cut so close? I have the tiny curved scissors and I can get pretty close but there is still some showing...suggestions?

Love the Tiana dress. My DGD5 is soooooo in love with Tiana that I had to get up Saturday morning (after she slept over) and make Beignets (or Bini-eggs as she things they are called)

The outfits @ Epcot are just adorable. And so cute that they are all coordinating.

OOOOoo Ahhhh! to the new machine. And love the outfits. Cute Skirt!

I have been multi-tasking the last week or so... three projects at once.
I started 2 round neck tops/dress, a tote bag and the coffee cozies, all around the same time. You all saw the bulk of the coffee cozies and tonight I finished the tote!

I am pretty pleased with it.
I saw it on the cover of a quilting magazine and had to buy the magazine, that was months ago. So I am happy to have found the time to make it.

Thank you and I love the tote also. I really like the colors....so summery.

Do you have a walking foot for your machine? Or a teflon foot? I sew on vinyl sometimes and the walking foot is the only thing that stops the vinyl on the top from stretching.

As for the tissue paper, yes, it'll come off, The needle perforates it and it comes off pretty cleanly, and you can always use tweezers if you need to get any little bits out. (Disclaimer - I've not used tissue on rubbery materials.) I'm not sure why you can't see to the edges - just line the tissue paper up with the edges when you pin it on, or trim it back after you pin it on.

Thank you!!! :woohoo: I'm a little excited! It's just starting to hit me!

I just realized you will be there at the same time as us! We go the 6th-9th. I will have to look out for your crew...I have never seen a diser at Disney before.
 
I know there were more but the quotes weren't saved and I only had time to skim the last 10 pages. :goodvibes

Teresa- Your Tiana dress came out so beautiful! You did such a great job. The satin is gorgeous too! :thumbsup2 I love how you finished the petal edges. The little girl that gets this dress is never going to want to take it off!

I found the scissors that martha stewart recommended to be the best. They are by Gingar(sp) and are curved but the end looks like half a spade. They basically lay right on the design and the big side prevents you from cutting the design. They are pricey at 37 bucks but I used a coupon at Joann's. I think the offical name is Gingar 6 inch embriodary/applicae scissors.
 
Does anyone have a Brother ULT2001 machine? Do you like it? I found one being sold locally for 500. I have a Brother 750D but have outgrown the hoop. I am meeting the person at a repair shop to test it and have a professional look it over.

I am looking for someone who can digitize a couple names for me, in the curlz font.

I previously have used Pegasus embroidery, but their website is down. Please send me a pm if you have some time. THank you.

I have that machine! I LOVE it! I would easily pay $500 for it! Sounds like a steal. I know they are old but mine is wonderful! I love to just sew on mine but machine applique every once in a while too.

I just fainted and my girls came over to see what I was making a fuss over and they started making a fuss....so its unanimous.....this is my favorite all time dress! :thumbsup2:dance3::cheer2::goodvibes:cool1:




I also completed two projects this weekend! I finished some Big Give outfits for Catherine's Big Give. She loves Sleeping Beauty :Pinkbounc so I made a cheerful Stripwork Twirl dress (by Scientific Seamstress) and appliqued a cutie Aurora princess (by Frou Frou by Heathersue). I bought out a lot of Revrob's stash so thanks to her generosity....I had plenty O fabric!!! :woohoo:


April17th004.jpg


I also made her older sister a top to wear. She likes Tink :tinker:and so I used a Portrait Peasant top with enlongated bodice (Scientific Seamstress) and I think I got the fabric at the Super Joann's in Towson MD last fall! It was fun to do!!!!

Thanks for looking! I am getting ready to make a few birthday presents too...wish me luck!!! :cheer2:

Wow that is just so darn cute i love how you did the top of sleeping beauty dress . That cutie by Heathersue is the best. I just bought all of them. I could not resist. Toooo cute on your dresses.
 
So I thought i would post more pics of Disney on Ice. This is my DD13 DD7 DD3 and Me. I used Heathersues Cuties i just love them . It was our first time going to Disney on Ice and i was in ahhhhh of the costumes. My oldest took so many good pictures.
I am in houston and just found this great Fabric store Called High Fashion. I went on Saturday and can i say i heard Heavens bells ringing when i opened the door. I could do some damage there. Oh well i was a good girl. I have to say that Tiana's dress for Disney on Ice does not compare to any dress made on here. My girls agree to.

I sooo agree. I don't even bother going to their "coupon commotion" sales because they put everything on sale for 20% so your coupons are virtually useless. I can't remember how many times we went and walked out with nothing.

Same thing with the bias tape machine.....it's always at least $10 off (currently it's $30 off but that's only 30%) so that you can't use the 40% or this week's 50% off. Grrr....oh well, the more I read about the machine the more complaints I'm seeing about it's quality, so maybe it's all for the best. But I do a lot of stained glass quilting and the thought of 60yards in less than a week, lol.....
I bugged the notions manager at my Joanns for about 3 weeks straight on the bias tape maker. Finally, she overrode the current sale - $10 off - and let me use a 40% off coupon instead. If you have extra coupons, start buying the different size adapters, I have 3 now and love them!

Love both outfits. The Tiania is really nice and crisp-
and congratulations on your new machine!


So- a review...Megan's preschool (K2, K3, K4 and Kindergarten) are putting on a circus. Megan's class needs to dress as clowns. Megan will be wearing a clown suit (my project for this coming week) However, she has a little girl in her class who NEVER wears pants, and doesn't like clowns. Her Mom is a teacher there and I got to talking to her, she wouldnt even wear a "clown dress" SO...we went for a more circus theme- but princessified.
I also plan to loan her Megan's pettiskirt, which Megan has agreed to.
I told her I would make it, if she could just cover my cost in fabric.
At this point, I'm not sure how much I have in it with all the appliques. I estimated $24 in the beginning and she said that sounded fine to her.
Do you think that's fair?
Megan was my model today... too many photos coming!
