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

[aboveH20]

Congrats on the new machine! I have had mine about 8 months now and my daughters say that I applique everything that stays still for any length of time


So happy you got to order your machine. You will love it.

Thanks for the compliment on the Barbie dresses. And being a "granna" is the absolute best thing in the world. There is nothing like waking up to a 3 yr old staring you in the face and when she sees you open your eyes, she immediately says "Granna, I love you!" (like she was just waiting for you to wake up so she could tell you)

I've had my sister's old machine for over 10 years and never used it as much as I thought I would -- of course it didn't do too much, either. I have HIGH expectatins for 770!

Absolutely precious about your granddaughter waiting for you to wake up.

Went to a dinner last night where the theme was to wear an apron. I, of course, had to make mine and I made the same for my mom and SIL. Then I still had some fabric left over, so I made a chef hat for myself from the rest.

As a faithful reader of page 1 I can tell you that there are over a zillion apron patterns on teresa's wist link. I love the ones you made and expecially the matching chef's hat.

Ok, I am ready to purchase my Brother 770! I wanted to get some opinions though. On the web there is one for $679 and then a package for $898. The package includes the 15,000 designs grand slam CD, cap hoop and sock hoop. I'm pretty sure I would use the cap and sock hoop, but was really planning on purchasing individual designs on the interet. Thanks for any input!!!

I don't know if we ordered from the same site, but I opted to buy the additional four hoops for 99.99. We've been having a discussion about the repositionable hoop, and it seems like it would be very helpful. I read someone liked the smallest hoop for onesies, and also liked having additional hoops so she could hoop the next project while one was stitching. My 2¢ for free .

as promised, here is the second project i ever did on my pe 770 and 2nd ever embroidery in my life. a heather sue on old navy jeans and tee

she is still sick in this pic but much improved. this is my 3rd ever thing done on my pe 770, another heather sue. combined with a double layer striped twirl

Way to go. I can't wait until mine arrives. ----->Question. . . I just finished cutting out my first patchwork skirt and am thinking about a lining/slip underneath. Is the red I see peeking out from under the skirt a slip, and if so, how did you make it?

Hi all!

My name is Denise and about a million years ago I used to post here. It was under a different user name that I have no clear memory of or the password so I made another. Life got a little crazy and sewing got put on the back burner for a while. I moved twice and I still don't have my sewing stuff unpacked, but my goal is to get it out tonight so that tomorrow I can sew sew sew!

I was wondering if any of you knew where I could find a printable 40% off coupon for Joann. I can't find a current one anywhere in my house and I have plans to make Drew and her 6 AG dolls matching jammies for her birthday Sunday. I cannot afford to by 6 doll outfits! So this is some motivation for me!!!!

Thanks! And I have really enjoyed digging through all of the creations I've missed over the last million years!

i dont know how to answer you intelligently. so i will say this: it is a double layer twirl skirt, the top stripe work layer is shorter with the vertical stripes, the underskirt is solid ( in this case) with a ruffle attached to the hem ( yes all I hand ruffle) the stripe layer and the underskirt layer are all attached at one time to the waist/yoke part , then u top stitch the seam allowance. hope this makes sense

Yup, got it. That's how I was thinking of doing mine. I just feel as though I keep reinventing the wheel. Maybe I should have bought a pattern instead of thinking I could just figure it out. Anyway, thank for the reply.

You could easily make a seperate "skirt" aka slip simply by cutting a rectangle for your "yoke", fold over to insert elastic or use bias tape and then gather the skirt and attach.
I plan to do this with that princess dress i just finished, the pattern called for a second layer of skirt to be attached to the bodice, but I like the idea of being able to use it for different dresses, so i will simply make it a seperate piece instead of attaching...
capiche?

Need help! I am making my first ever altered jeans. I am just sewing on pieces of fabric near the bottom of the legs. Some people seem to applique them on with a zig zag, others do a straight stitch or zig zag but leave the edgdes free to fray. Which one is better? Any advice? I have opened the leg to make it easier!

You did a great job! I love that skirt! it is so sparkly! Don't you love how nice Heather's embrodery designs stitch up?

Hey Denise..I can't seem to find any printable coupons. But, my Joanns had a handful of this week's circulars and they had 40% off coupons. Why don't you stop by there and see if they have any.

Someday I'm going to write a trip report. Of course, some day I'm going to sew again, too!! But for now, I'll just be jealous of all your upcoming trips.

All beautiful - but your "Rapunzel" has such beautiful posture in that picture - just lovely!

Can't wait to see the pic of all four twirling - how fun!

Has anybody done a vida or Feliz with all those great ruffles as a top with some sort of leggings? Would that even work? It seems like it would look really cute!

Love your hat and the aprons!

Hi ladies, I'm hoping someone can help! I'm working a few different projects right now! I'm having an issue with my zig zag stiches on my appliques unraveling. I had read somewhere that I didn't need to backstick. Then I read on one of the tutorials that I did. So, I have been. But, when I clip the threads it starts to unravel! Help! How do I prevent this! I must be doing something wrong. I'm trying to finish this outfit for my niece for her 1st bday!

I have never backstitched on them so I am not sure? At least not when it is a close stitch usually do .4

Ok I solomnly swear not to flood yall with pictures over the next few months but I am so happy about how this turned out!

I followed Leslie's tute for the twirl skirt I had planned on putting pinky on her shirt but the green spoke to me it needed squirt! This is our first night dinner at the Coral Reef set and going to turtle talk with crush etc.

I was going to show you what it looked like without the petti under and this is what I got lol. Like I said pettis tiaras and dip her in glitter Looks like we will be wearing it with a petti.

And without the toddler

I absolutely LOVE this!!! Very sharp! Are those book panels in the skirt? Do you have the link to the tute you used handy? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks. I just love this set. Your daughter looks adorable. Can't wait to see what else you make her!!!

Thank you I used one of Leslie's tutorials but there are a lot out there. http://my-sweet-sunshine.blogspot.com/2009/05/okey-dokey.html It is not for a story book panels but I just adapted it. I put 4 inch strips in between each panel but if I were to do it again which I am sure I will I would probably do 2 inch or none at all in between. It ended up being longer than the one that Leslie did I think this one ended up being like 115 hers is 84 inches. It just gives it more twirl if it is longer though.
Oh and I cut at the edge of the books it looks fine if it is cut off some when you make your seams

ms mckenna, such a cutie!!! love the outfit too!!!

Sorry missed you Thanks

Went to a dinner last night where the theme was to wear an apron. I, of course, had to make mine and I made the same for my mom and SIL. Then I still had some fabric left over, so I made a chef hat for myself from the rest.

Love the aprons and of course, the chef hat. What fun!

The jeans outfit came out really nice. I'm impressed that you are embroidering on the leg of denim pants for your second project!!!! The valentine's skirt is adorable and so is your DD.
