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

[tmh0206]

that is what I have been using up to now, was the regular needle, but kept getting some extra puckering that I wasnt fond of and someone suggested to use ball point needles. Logically, I was thinking the smaller ones would be better , but wasn't actually sure. Hope somebody knows the answer, otherwise I will just keep trying until I figure it out.

I havent noticed any puckering on your tees Chiara, so do you use cut away stablizer instead of tear away? maybe that is a possible answer to my problem.

Has anyone seen any Disney Cruise Line character embroidery designs for sale? I am looking for Minnie in a sailor dress. Someone on Etsy has one on a dress but I can't find one for sale.

HeatherSue has a few cruise line applique designs, and you can check out divas doodles. I didn't see any minnie in a sailor dress. You could try to convo the person with the embroidered shirt to see where she got it. It may have been from a designer that doesn't sell anymore. Some digitizers will take custom orders.

Wait, just checked a different site and found some! Bowsandclothes.com under Minnie Mouse.

Good luck!

Ok...whoever made the bag.....is that DCL pixie dust hanging down. the silver Mickey ears look like the pixie dust that falls on the cruise , that my girls MUST save and that I have strung on fish lining and hung from their ceilings.

Yep... just in the by the yard ribbon at JoAnn's.

Wow your bags are just so fabulous!! I downloaded the pattern the other day just working up to actually making one.

Thank you! Once you make one - you'll be hooked. I keep trying to find another bag to make and I just can't find one that's as cute. I might just end up modifying the Rosetta a tiny bit. I just love those darned ruffles.

LOVE IT. I actually just bought this pattern yesterday and debating on making it for me and some of my Disney loving friends.

Was it hard adding the zipper because I think I would prefer that instead?
Edited: Found your Tutorial on Pg 147

I am glad you found the Tut. IF you have any questions, just let me know. I know that some of the pics are hard to see because I was using black fabric against a black zipper.

Love this! Your dd did a great job choosing fabric!

I just booked the Disney Magic for it's maiden voyage out of Galveston Sept 22, 2012!!!

How do I wait that long? Oh well, at least I have a lot of time to get my back and hands better so I can sew!

Congrats! So jealous here!

Is it possible to make the Rosetta without a serger? Any way to do the rolled hem, or is there an alternate way to finish the edge?

The Rosettas I make never touch a serger. Actually - you don't even need to zig zag any of the interior seams, because they are inside. The only thing you'd need a serger for is the rolled hem edged ruffles - you can do a standard ruffle or double thickness ruffle and not have to use the serger at all. All of the ruffles are zig-zagged on to the outside of the purse - so there is really nothing you need a serger for.

I will be posting pics of my personal Rosetta later today. I couldn't part with this one - it turned out so cute!

Since we are talking new machines and supplies:

I sometimes get more pucker on my embroidery and applique that what I expected.

What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it? I use tear a way stabilizer and hoop as tight as I can.

I use cut away stabilizer. It gives more strength than tear away. I also spray the stabilizer with spray adhesive and stick it to the fabric. Then I hoop it.

Yep! I was just gonna say that! I will second though that sometimes, digitizers will take custom orders for slightly increased prices.

Good luck!

CastleCreations is a member here although she doesn't post often. As Aimee said, she does all her appliqués by hand. She and Jessica and Lisa amaze me with their appliqué skills.

[queenbee99]

I failed at my new year's resolution to keep up with this post. . . I'm back 100 pages later (from the last time I was on), lol. I stopped getting email notifications. But I'm back. I should post the stuff I've made in the last few months!

There have been some very cute outfits made for this, so I hope someone will post their wonderful creations! When we went in October, my youngest wore a cow print skirt. It was cute, but not exactly inspired!

Yes, you should!

Thanks! I've been here for over 3 years - just since having my baby a little over a year ago, I've had a hard time keeping up!

QUESTION:

So I have been lurking through this thread and several of the old threads and noticed a fabric pocket wall hanging. These have names embroidered on them. What are they for? I've scanned through trying to find info, but haven't found anything.....Thanks!!!

Sounds like a fish extender. They use them on the Disney Cruise. I've never been on one, but I hear that outside the room, is a hook that is a fish. So they came up with these pockets so other Dis members can leave cards and notes and such for you.

Since we are talking new machines and supplies:

I sometimes get more pucker on my embroidery and applique that what I expected.

What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it? I use tear a way stabilizer and hoop as tight as I can.

Have you tried a baste stitch? I think I got mine from SWAK.

Thanks so much for the help with the pocket thing....I figured it was something cool!
