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

[MinnieVanMom]

Whew, did I catch up? I am sorry if I missed anyone in my attempt to catch up again. DD arrived yesterday in SLC. We left in a blizzard and came back home to rain. We are so happy to have DD back with us for the next 10 days. She helped me rework our February trip. We needed Fantamsic dinner for a party of 5 and could not find anything so we switched it to a split of 3 in one part and 2 in the other and got our ADR's with Fantasmic. We also booked the Wishes dessert party. We are still waiting to hear if she will be allowed to stay for Fantasmic or if her father will insist she return that nite. We are set for Christmas and wish all our friends the joy of Christmas and the celebration of our Saviour.

I'm working on some Gives too, hopefully all will be finished by the beginning of January. I couldn't find any shirts locally for Bryce's give so I'm hoping my Jiffy shirts order will be waiting on my when I get off work. I really want to get that out to them ASAP! I also had one of the very talented crafty gals on one of my other boards express interest in the Gives and disboutiquers, so I hope she joins us!

I'm not sure if you were keeping up with Bryce's blog, but he is not doing very well at all. Please say a prayer for him and his family right now.

Hi all! I have not been around lately, just very busy! I know I will not be around the rest of the week, so I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

We are welcoming a new puppy into our home this Saturday, it is so bitter sweet...I realize now how very much I miss our Buckley, but I think a new puppy will brighten my days! I will share pics next week of our new baby...he is a beagle, I am thrilled, as I know the kids will be when they see him. They have no idea we are getting him and it will be the big gift from me and DH.

On another note, I have decided we are taking a year off from Disney. It's hard...very hard, but there are some other things I want to do next year with the kids. Plus, we are hopeful FIL will get his lung transplant and I want us to be able to travel to Ohio when that happens, and the money I save by not going to WDW will be used for that trip. And we are buying a new car in February...I won't tell you how bad that pains me...but I have had my van for 10 years and it is finally giving out. We have saved up and we won't have to finance...which is a huge blessing and the only way I agreed to do it. ( I would drive my van till the wheels fall off, but for some reason DH thinks that may not be safe!)

Again, hope you all have a great week and enjoy the extra time with family! I can't thank you all enough for your friendship over the years and wish you all the best for the season!

I was just wondering how you were this morning! It's good to see you on here. I'm glad you got a new puppy. How exciting A beagle?? You are a brave woman! Make sure you post pictures of her (him?).

I'm thinking we may not go to Florida this next year too. Although, I REALLY want to find a way to make it work!

Here is a quilt that I made for my 2 yo daughter. Well its almost finished, just ignore the unfinished binding.
This is my first time adding a picture so I hope that it works

Oh wow!!! That is gorgeous!!!!

I am impressed you got the little mountain icon in there!

I'm always impressed when she does things like that!!

I'm looking to buy some disney apliques all ready made....ones I can just sew or iron onto tshirts....can anyone recomend somewher I can get them??? I've had a look on etsy but had no joy.

I've been having a go myself, but I don't have an embrodery machine, so its all done with my standard sewing machine. I'm not happy with the results.....I want it to look so much better.

Here is the Perry the Platapus I have done for my niece...its not good.

Like everyone else has said, just keep practicing! Have you read Heathersue's tutorial that's linked to in the first post? It's very good! And, I say if you can tell what it is suppose to be when you are done, it's a success! So, good job!

Now Jessica you know I am super cool ... why wouldn't you be impressed.

You are a nut!

and I am done with everything for our trip. Unless I decide to do one or 2 more shirts for DS but at this point I am not thinking I am going.

Here are some of the things I did this weekend and today.

Oso Shirt.

Beast Shirt for DS

Tangled Shirts for Kids

Christmas Skirt and Shirt for DD

What a pain in the rear that skirt was I didn't realize the fabric had stretch so the thread kept slipping out when I was doing the gathers. She loves it so that is all that matters.

I will post the other things I did for DH and I tomorrow. Heading to bed now.

You are doing a very good job. What software are you using?

Thanks! I'm just using the free stitch ERA software. I'm totally able to do everything I need to make these designs! I'm getting faster every time!

went to Michaels today and stocked up on "pixie dust" for any upcoming BigGive kiddos lots of princess, cars and toystory items in $1.00 area, plus I had a 20% off everything coupon, so loaded up!!! since I can't sew, doing what I can!

Thank you for the tips on the cape making, I am working on those next. So far I have made

4 sunglasses cases
3 Teacher Lanyards
2 personalized key fobs
2 tool roll ups.

So I have to make one more Key fob and the 2 capes. I also wanted to make my neighbor a pillow. She saw it in a Pottery Barn Catalog and it says Bonne Nuit which is french for Good Night.

I need someone to digitize it for me.... Is there anyone around who can digitize it in .dst format. I would like the two words as two separate files so they can be a good size, I only have a 5x7 hoop.

Nancy, I can do .dst format if you haven't already found someone to do it. What size do you want the letters to be?

That would be great! Can you make the letters about 2 inches tall? I try to turn the project sideways in the hoop when I want to make things bigger (like names) Does that make sense? I would like it to be in a pretty script font.

Thank You

Ok so this is my first time with applique, and I did it on my sewing machine. I drew the design from a coloring book picture picture online, and cut it out so its not perfect. I need to practice, but think it will be wearable for my son. It will be a cute shirt for Magic Kingdom

THat is awesome!! We will have quite a few coming up this winter which is very exciting!!!!

I decided last night to start a rag quilt for a Christmas gift - can I get it done in time??????

 

[MyDisneyTrio]

Definitely! Last year I was giving a baby shower a few days after getting home from our Disney trip, I had promised the mom a rag quilt for her gift and I did it all in one night Crazy I know, but it wasn't very big. The baby sleeps with it every night though . I have faith that you can and will get it done

Hi all

I'm a long-time lurker, but have learned a BUNCH from y'all. And I want to thank you for the inspiration. You've inspired me so much that I went out and bought a Brother PE 770 embroidery machine and spent a bunch on money on designs from Heather Sue. Now I've read on your threads, that it's best to have prewound bobbins. I've spent the last hour searching the internet for class 15 bobbins to fit my PE 770 and have had no luck! So my question is, where is everybody getting these bobbins?

I have been keeping up. I did get my shirt order, but I'm not sure that Sea World shirts would be appropriate right now. I will be sending something though, I can't imagine what they are going through right now.

Oso Shirt.

I am loving all of the clothes you've made for your trip, but I really like this shirt. My teen is intrigued with Oso, and he might wear a small polo like this. I was trying to figure out how to make him something Oso since we're doing H&V but not make it too kid-ish.

I have really liked this outfit, but I love the fancy version! My daughter would adore something like this, but I'm not sure I have the patience for it! You did a great job!

Thanks! I'm just using the free stitch ERA software. I'm totally able to do everything I need to make these designs! I'm getting faster every time!

Did you find Stitch Era to be fairly easy to use? I'm thinking about downloading it and giving it a go. I have slight ADHD and I'm worried that I wouldn't be able to focus long enough to pick it up!

I just did that the other day too. They have lots of great stuff for a great price! The kidlets even lucked into a few stocking stuffers too.

That is awesome! I never had the nerve to try any applique with my sewing machine outside of a basic Mickey head. You did a really great job on it!

You sure can! I did one last year fairly quickly. The longest part for me was snipping all the fabric. Can't wait to see the pics!

I get mine from Marathon....I have an order that is being sent the first of the year...because I am having terrible luck with winding my own! I also use prewounds for my quilter...but unfortunately they are not the same type of thread, so even though they are the same size, they are not interchageable for me. RATS!

http://www.marathonthread.com/prewound.shtml

Size A is the same as class 15....I usually get all white, unless I am doing something that needs a darker color then I get grey...Hope that helps!


Nini

PS...forgot to add that I get the plastic ones, simply because they are re-usable. I try to keep a bobbin of each of my cones on hand for when I am doing in the hoop projects. And the quality of the actual bobbin is far superior to the Singer bobbins!
