Disboutiquers Part 24 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[MinnieVanMom]

Oh I forgot something...

remember this -

Dh was able to fix it! The dealer quoted $500 to fix it, Dh was able to fix it with a $5.00 tube of some super glue welding stuff.

And I thought I was the only one who took apart their machine. Glad you got it fixed.

I am happy I actually made this in a few hours today. Got my serger to somewhat cooperate with me and made the gathering a lot easier so I just wanted to share.
Now its on to the Vida and stuff for Disney!!

I did two different versions of the Make it Blue/Pink dress.

Here is one-

Beautiful as always

Awww - I did!!! Thanks for remembering!!

Anyone else having crazy weather lately???? We woke up in the 60's and the temp dropped all day - now its COLD again!!! lol

This is adorable.
And yeah we are...was so happy the other day it was in the 70's then drop fast. So ready for spring and summer to get here

I asked last week for ideas for a LegoLand outfit for Lauren DD5. This is what I came up with:
the girl is an applique I did by hand, the bricks at the bottom are a machine design.

Love it!!

I did make a slightly different version for a friends birthday. She might have posted it.

Stacey- LOVE the Lego outfits! Too Cute!! We are hoping to get to Legoland next January.

I finally finished this Spongebob set. I think it turned out pretty cute! My girls loved it and want sets also. They asked for Sandy on the shirt though. My daughter's middle name is Cheek so I think she love Sandy Cheeks.

Again gorgeous!!!

Hi ladies!

It's been SO long since I last posted....but I've been lurking and LOVE the new outfits posted (obviously WTMTQ!) I'm still trying to shake off that post-Disney funk...it's taking longer than I thought! What better way to keep the Dis love alive than by making customs, right? Here are a few new creations:

Jessie-inspired Toy Story dress

Alice in Wonderland-inspired outfit (it's hard to see the white bloomers with the black ruffle trim...)

I actually have a few QUESTIONS, if you don't mind:

1. After a great deal of nagging from my friends, I finally agreed to open an etsy shop. In 5 days, I've made two sales (and I'm not even related to these customers!!) I posted this hat:

and the customer wants a chin strap for her infant daughter...has anyone ever attempted to add this to CarlaC's Patchwork Bucket hat pattern before? If so, HOW??

2. How difficult is CarlaC's Precious dress? I just LOVELOVELOVE it and I'm terrified of it. It looks so difficult and I'm afraid of buttonholes. Can someone talk me into this?

Thanks for any advice/help you can provide!!

Love the hat...it is just too cute

Question: I'm still trying to figure out which embroidery machine I want to purchase. I am just wondering about the applique patterns you can purchase from Etsy and other sources. If You purchase an applique pattern does the seller simply send the file? Or does that purchase include some directions, fabric suggestions and thread color suggestions?

snubie- your husband knows we are all going to be asking him, via you, how to fix our machine problems now right?

when my machine messed up so bad last week and i tried every move i could think of to fix it, my hubbs just grunted and never looked up from his game. for days. i shouldve used superglue myslef ( on hubbs fingers to his game controller!)

Usually most sellers will help you figure out how to transfer designs from your computer to your machine. Most sellers will also help you with fabric selections if you ask, but this info doesn't normally come with a purchase. Most designers send some sort of thread guide to help you with colors as the design stitches out. You'll have to know which format your machine takes, which your dealer can tell you (it will be something like PES, JEF, HUS, ART etc). Also, if your machine has a slot for a flash drive, you'll need one of those to transfer your designs from computer to machine. I love my Brother 4500D. It's been my first and only embroidery machine this far and it's been very user friendly. I think it's nice to get a machine that has a screen display, so you're not limited to having it hooked up to a computer at all times. Also, I know lots of gals and guys on here enjoy having a large hoop, so that is also an option that may be important to you. I know the next machine up from mine always makes me drool because there is a different size hoop that I don't have with my Brother. Although, I can't complain too much since I do have a nice big hoop too.

Hope this helps! If you're looking at my machine, I'm happy to answer any specific questions you may have, just PM me

Thank you all for the Spongebob compliments!!! Shhhhhh . . . I do not like Spongebob. It's 3 against 1 in this house and my DH is the ringleader! This set was so much fun because the lady who asked me to make gave me the green light to do whatever. It was a lot of fun!

I was able to finish one more thing today. It's my 2011 version of Steamboat Willie.

I don't like spongebob either!! Love the new steamboat. That paisleyish black fabric is awesome!!

I have the Brother PE770 that many on here have. It does 4x4 and 5x7 size. I have an almost 3 year old daughter and for her clothes the 5x7 is just fine. I've even done a number of size Large shirts with the 5x7 and they seem big enough.

I second what the previous poster said about many digitizers. You should get a jpeg image of the digitized design that will give you some direction on colors to use. Many designers also have an image of a test stitch, so you can see what colors they use. Heathers program sends along a really nice jpeg illustrating each step, and others send along a jpeg of step by step directions which also details colors. Otherwise it's all up to you!!

I was wondering if someone with Stitch Era could help me out?! Pretty please?!

I made my DH a superman pillowcase for his birthday. I was hoping someone could digitize:

DREW
My Superman​

for me in a nice manly font to put on the cuff of the pillowcase which is about 4" wide. I have a 5x7 hoop and would need it in PES format. I am still learning how to use stitch era so I don't really trust myself yet and don't want to mess it up.

Just let me know! Thanks SO SO much!

We have the same machine almost. I have the 4000D with the 12x7 hoop. I love the machine and it has a high stitch count but keeps going.

I think that it depends on the seller for the most part. I don't think I've ever gotten anything with fabric suggestions but you often get a thread color chart. Most of the time they will email you the file but you need to request which format you need for your machine.

Whoohoo! I've earned enough money to get my embroidery machine. For those of you that have the brother PE 770, what are my start up cost, besides the machine itself? Thread and stabalizer? Is there an online source I should be using or just a basic fabric store.

TIA for your help! Now that I have the go ahead, I am a nervous wreck!!!

Congratulations on your new machine. I am sure you will love it. I happened to be in Joanns on Monday and the clerk (who knows me by name) told me that all the thread will be on sale for half off next week. I buy most of my thread there and I've been happy with it. I have ordered some thread off the internet but unless I am ordering a lot the shipping seems too costly. You can also use the 50% off fabric coupons on the stabilizer at Joanns.
