Disboutiquers Part 23 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[PurpleEars]

Today I finished this for our Studio day, found the LE fabric on clearance for $3.99. Ignore the goofy look, she's always showing off a funny face.

Here's a twirl skirt for AK, still have to finish applique T-shirt to go with it. I think it goes great with her jammies, LOL.

These outfit (and the model) look really cute!

That's a beautiful dress. I am sure she will have a great time with all the wonderful outfits you've made!

I like the Mickey pumpkin shirts - and the silly pictures while waiting in line!

My three girls in front of the trainstation.

It looks like the girls had a good time even though it was cold!

I just have to vent that I am about to toss my serger out the window! I just spent almost two hours getting it set up to do a ton of rolled hems for Feliz ruffles and I decide I didn't like the red wooly thread and switched to green. Apparently the machine rejected the green and broke the needle, got all tangled and ate the test fabric. Which by the way, is now all jammed up in the machine. Heading to the gym to try to calm myself down!

Awww, sorry to hear that. Hopefully a nice workout will help you refocus on getting the serger to work again.

I had the privilege of making some tag blankets for an 'un-named' big give. I have never made them before but loved making these! They are made of certain colors etc due to some special needs of this little one. I will have to make more in the future for any babies that come our families way! They are so cuddly. I also found these two polar fleece prints at a fabric shop near me that a) I didn't know had any Disney fabrics and b) I had never seen these two before anywhere!

Those are nice blankets. I really like the fabric choices. I have never seen those two fleece prints before. I may have to come over to BC to shop for fabric - oh wait, I don't want to pay HST on my purchases! I guess I will just stick with buying fabric from Fabricland. In exchange, you may laugh at us for having to put up with snow and freezing temperatures for the next 10 days or so.

I have it on the itouch I have - I just don't have a data plan but am hoing to get a iphone for Christmas. I like the app. It is very cool!

We had warm, rainy & cold weather while we were there - low of about 50 the one morning and night we were bundled up. This was our first Nov. trip so now I know much better to pack for EVERYTHING!!!!

In the parks does Disney suppy internet, so you can use your Itouch?

The outfits were all great on the last few pages. All of you are so talented.
I just don't know where to begin. I have so many ideas and limited funds.I have a few days off next week, we will see what happens.

I hate when I lose my multi-quotes! I will try to reconstruct this afternoon...busy morning and day ahead.

With all this talk of Black Friday sales I was thinking about getting an office chair for my sewing room. Right now I'm just sitting on a straight back kitchen chair but I wonder if it would be better to sit at an adjustable chair while sewing. My machine just sits on a regular desk (it is not in a sewing table). What kind of chair do you guys use for sewing?

Also, I was reading a sewing magazine at the library and saw a short blurb about a seam ripper that had clippers (or something) that they said was good for serger users as it could clip the threads while you were ripping them out. I did a google search and found a few of them. Does anyone who uses one of these have a favorite type or brand?

TIA

Calm down at the gym, come back and look at it with a level head. I personally like the throwing things off the roof and then shooting them with shootgun when I get super mad. JK, But sometimes it is so frustrating. I hope you get it fixed.

Roof... I like it! Have not gone back to it yet but will after the kiddies are all off to school and/or napping!

No but I have every other app for Disney so I am off to get it. What do you think Itunes is going to announce tomorrow?

Not sure! But it is today so maybe we will know something soon!

I sit at an old rocker. I like that I can rock forward to sew and back to look at work, change thread, etc. I like that I dont have to scootch a chair in and out. Sometimes I sit on a big exercise ball. That is super comfy and good for my back, but not the best for satin stitching when I need a super steady hand. I tried sitting at an office chair but it seemed too deep and I didn't feel like I could get close enough to my machine.

Ugh; lost my multiquote and can't find some of the things I had before- sorry for anyone I miss!

Toadstool: Love your machine; it's my machine (Perla's) big sister LOL. I have the Esante and I absolutely love it most of the time except when it inexplicably eats shirts- I think sometimes she gets hungry? Love the sewing features, and the buttonholer is the best I have ever used. Totally recommend getting the babylock ruffler- a little pricey, but soooooooo worth it. I had the Janome ruffler for my old machine, and thought about just "making it work" but the babylock one is waaaaaaaaaay better; perfect ruffles every time!

SueM: Love the pics of your DD in her costume- she looks fabulous! Glad to see you over here

Front view

Love this!

Love all your outfits- the halloween one especially (although I think I missed it in the quote - oops)

I don't think I will ever catch up but I thought I would post a couple pics from our trip last week. This is my mom & Juliet when we went to WWoHP

Everyone looks awesome! I really love the Harry Potter outfit-!

Y'all look wonderful.

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

I second the Babylock ruffler - I went through 3 or 4 of the generic ruffler foots from joanns with my old machine. I didn't even bother trying them with the Ellageo - ordered the babylock one when I ordered the machine. I have not had a problem so far and I have made a lot of ruffles!

 

[ireland_nicole]

Here's why I haven't been posting lately- between getting these done and work I've been pretty time crunched. These are for a family to wear to MVMCP. I also made renaissance garb (I actually did an overdress w/ boning and everything! But don't have any pics yet).

and one of my DD modeling the dress that's her size (which in retrospect was probably not the best idea, because now she wants one too LOL.)

Boy did I underestimate the time required. The worst part was having to trace and cut out the pattern three times- I don't enjoy that part...

I have a few pages to catch up on but I have a question;
I have never had a problem with my machine eating a shirt. I have the brother pe770. I finished a design yesterday and then I went to put my daughter's name on it with the curlz font and it ate my shirt twice!!! What am I doing wrong? How do you stitch names on to t-shirts? Do you think it is just the name file that has a problem?

From my t-shirt experience, it could be a few things... Perhaps you needed to use a heavier weight stabilizer, your tension could be too high OR if you array the letters on certain fonts it can also eat your shirt because some letters just don't stitch out well on an angle. I have yet to be able to use my calligraphy font that came on my machine with the array function without losing the shirt.

very very cute blankets and thanks for being part of the Big Gives.

Oh renaissance clothing I can't wait to see! These are also so very nice, sorry about the cut out three times. Super work and well worth you efforts. I love the shirts and all the dresses, Wow, you have been really really busy. Have a great trip and post pictures of the girls in the customs.

Clean out the bobbin case, rethread the top, adjust the tension, and use a solid stabilizer. Also use the hole throat plate not the wide one. I am so sorry that really does make for a bad day.

ooooooohhhhhh!!!! I havent seen the ad yet!! cant wait!!! Now I gotta bribe billy to stand in the line for me while I go pick!!! haha

 

[TinkerbelleMom]

We've got the worst cold running thru my house and I just don't have time for it! My cruise (non-DCL) is in 3 weeks and I've got a ton of sewing to do as well as a peasant top to smock, and I'm so messed up on cold meds I don't want to get involved with anything for fear of goofing it up! I even skipped work today, something I never do. Sitting up is better than laying down, so I might just do some t-shirt embroidery...babysitting the machine is something I think I can handle. I was laughing at all of you saying you have to do that too, every time I look away, it goes bad, but sometimes I sit there the entire time and nothing happens even without adjustments. I had a sneezing fit once, sitting there and it goofed up on me, and my eyes were only closed for a second!

Good Morning from Foggy Disneyland!!!

We saw World of Color last night and I am in love with it!! I was so bummed t though - in October I made reservations for Ariel's Grotto and when I went yesterday to double check the time they said they didnt have any reservation for us at all!!!! I almost cried cause that was our pass to see WOC!!! So we just watched it from the backside - couldnt see all of it, but it was still cool. Hoping to see the right side of it tomorrow!!

Love the cute Christmas Vida Nicole!!!

Question - If you have the time, could you please go check out Emily's Big Give? I'd love for mom to have a toiletry bag - something special just for her - I stink at making them (zippers and me dont get along) or I'd just do it!!! lol!!! I decided to do EPCOT shirts for Mom and Dad. Would love for a little more frills for the girls if possible. Bibs for Emily would be great too - a few people talked about them, but no one said they could do it for sure.

Thanks for considering!!!

Wowsers (in the words of Inspector Gadget). I know teachers have a list of 100 words to use to praise/encourage/compliment a child. I feel that I need the same thing for here because there are so many "wowsers" posted I feel like I'm always saying the same thing. . . but amazing job.

You got me. I thought for sure you were going to say we can start at Joann's and then hit the other stores. Your alarm clock must have earlier settings than mine does!

Love Love Love these, love how you made each Vida a little different! Just think you have all those Vida patterns now. I'm not big on the tracing either, but I really like the Vida Pattern alot better than the Feliz...maybe I just need to do the Feliz a few more times...maybe not all the ruffles next time. I'm sure the family that you made these for is going to be sooo excited!

What solid stabilizer do you use?

I hope you all feel better soon and you get all your sewing done...seems like some of the simple tees would be doable??? I was sick for about 10 days and didn't get much done, hope it doesn't last that long for you.

I don't think I will ever catch up but I thought I would post a couple pics from our trip last week.

All of the pictures are so cute but I especially like this one! Was this in front of Rockin Roller Coaster or where? I don't remember seeing a car you can get in.

Here is the generational photo with my mom. I made my blouse and Kaitlyn's dress and my mom made her blouse.

Great picture....what a treasure!

Gosh, I can't keep up! It's been a few days and it's already 25 pages in!

We leave on Saturday for DW and I'm in the home stretch... or maybe crunch to finish a few things for DD.

Today I finished this for our Studio day, found the LE fabric on clearance for $3.99. Ignore the goofy look, she's always showing off a funny face.

Love the LE outfit. The AK skirt is sooo cute too and what....??? she can't wear her jammies with it to DW??

We had dinner at Akershus that night. More princess pics! Belle loved Connor's shirt.

I love Connor's shirt too! All of the outfits are really adorable...looks like they had the time of their lives.

I had DH babysitting my machine right before we went to DL. He didn't understand why I kept getting mad when he looked up to watch the tv. He has no idea what it sounds like when something messes up so in my mind he needed to be WATCHING it, not just sitting there! He was none to happy that I didn't think he did a good job. Thank goodness it was Heather's Buzz and she does such awesome appliques that all was good.

I just did Heather's Buzz this week and I showed my husband how much detail goes into hers compared to others. Thanks Heather!! We love your designs!!!!

That is the cutest Chip and Dale fleece I have seen....I really would like to find some!

Just saying hi and whoo hoo on your weight loss (in your ticker)! I think I found it though!!!!

Super cute! What is behind your DD in the pic? Is that scrap bins? How cool!! Oh, and I hate, hate, hate making pattern pieces too!

I was going to say heavier stabilizer too (or several layers of iron on) but I see someone already mentioned that.

YIPPEEEE!!! Well, now my midnight, 3 am, 5 am AND 6 am slots are full! I know I am crazy but some of the best memories my girls and I have, have been made on Black Friday! We have soooo much fun!

Glad to see you made it back safely. I saw you and your family in Magic kingdom one day while we were there. I was gonna say Hi but by the time I got up the Nerve you all were gone.
