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

I've been studying photos of the Rapunzel character that appears in the parks. I've been back and forth on the color. I now have a pile of purple fabric here and am trying hard to carve out a little time to try this before we leave a week from today!

I think it's sort of a raspberry color. Not purple, not lavendar, not pink. Very hard to pin down.

It looks like a color I painted Kirsta's room when she was little. It was Princess pink, a pink with a hint of purple in it. When you look at her sleeves in the video, they have pink stripes on them. I got the mattel doll for DN, and I think they used the lavendar.

WOW!!! That is a big bag!!!!

As far as the blankets go....you can count on our family to do at least 4. I may see if my daughter's American Heritage Girls troop would be interested in this too.

Can you give me some ideas on how to finish off the edges of them? Can we do any colors/characters/etc. that we want?

Awesome!!! I 'll put you on the list!!! THanks so much!! THat 'd be awesome if your daughters troop wanted to help as a project - after the holidays Im going to see if my department at work wants to help too!!! you can do color/pattern you wish!!! you can finish the edges lots of ways, just cut fringes, tie knots, serge around the edges...just make sure you cut the salvage edge off. Here is something Andrea posted on the DBG boards..

Just google making fleece blankets to come up with some ideas. This site was decent:

Chiara - you are such a go getter!!! lol....They didnt specify washed or unwashed.....do you think after being stored and shipping that they will wash them before they give them out anyways?

My goodness....so many blankets already...thank you thank you thank you!!!

please don't rush on these ladies, please enjoy your holidays and families!! like Wendy said, we have plenty of time before I need to get them!

as far as washing, I don't sew and don't know if fleece shrinks with the first wash or not but would think they would wash everything before the kids got them.

Have a great night all!

On our way. WITH the machine. Wouldn't be the fIrst time. Got everything done except the not really absolutely necessary easy fits (still hoping to get them done) and Little's Christmas dress. OH and I have to put the button Minnies on their tees for AK tomorrow. I'll check in w/ pictures tomorrow.

I don't think I ever bought it - I went back several times, and I don't remember if I actually purchased or not. I really WANT it! I just don't know that I'm gonna have the time to actually stitch it!

Your shirt is super cute! I LOVE it!

Wendy, PM me your address. I know I ask you that once a month probably. I'll send you some gingerbread cookies for the girls.

I'll add the little bows that are supposed to be on them though.

ETA - That is the only playfood I have ever made in the hoop (or at all) although I always think I'll make more.

Hi ladies, I have not posted here in a long time! I'm hoping some of you ladies can give suggestions. I am in the market for a new sewing machine. I've been using the Singer Simple from Walmart for $99 for 3 years now. I'm ready to move on. It has been fine but I really am ready for a better machine.

I do not need anything over the to fancy but do want something that can grow with me. For the most part I sew little kids clothing. I want a machine that will allow me to adjust both stitch length and width which my cheapo Singer just will not do. I'd like something with adjustable speed as I'd like to be able to teach my daughter to sew with this machine. I'd also like a one-step buttonhole. I want it to be smooth......not vibrating off the table like my Singer.

Does anyone have suggestions? Anything you love or hate? I have been reading reviews, etc. on other sites but there are SO many different machines out there! I'm so overwhelmed.

I also had an inexpensive machine from WalMart and then for Mother's Day my husband told me I could pick out an embroidery machine. I chose the Brother Innovis 1500D, it does sewing and embroidery. I absolutely LOVE it. I think it is probably more than what you are looking for, but since no one else had replied I thought I would Good luck in your search!

 

[jessica52877]

If you just want an everyday sewing machine I would just upgrade a little. I have the brother cs 6000 (or something close to that), from walmart/costco and love it! I think it is around $169 now. I also sew on my sewing/embroidery machine, brother ult2002d and the price difference between the two was huge and I can get the same result with both!
