Disboutiquers Part 25 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[livndisney]

Anyone? What kind of embroidery machines do you all use?

You might want to take the time to read some of the threads and do some of your own research. Each of us has likes and dislikes of various machines brands. Some like Brother machines, other prefer Singers. Some even prefer appliques over embroidery. And appliques are done on regular machines. Some of us even post pictures of our machines.

Anyone? What kind of embroidery machines do you all use?

I have a Brother SE900D. It is a good machine but only has a 4x4 hoop size. It is also a combo machine so does sewing and embroidery.

If you are looking for embroidery only I would look into the Brother PE770. The hoop size is 5x7 and I have seen them for a little more then 700.00 dollars.
I am currently saving up for the PE770 because the 4x4 hoop is just to small for some of the projects I want to complete.

Love the Monsters Insa and the Snow White dress!

I hope Finn has a great birthday and please let us know how Phalen makes out at the Dr.

It's very quiet here this afternoon, I hope everyone is on the way to a wonderful fun filled relaxing 4th of July weekend.
I managed to make a pair of easy fit shorts today and not a lot else. I'm still searching for a Donald Duck design in a safari hat. No luck!

Maybe I'll start Emily's cars outfit...

Not cheesy in the least! Those are such nice ideas compared to the expensive trinkets that break within hours!

The shirts are awesome! Did you explain how you did them somwhere?

I hope your group enjoys the movie. Sadly, my 2yo was not captured (and neither were dh and I, even though we all love the original.)

Regards,
C.

The shirts were easy ... I posted in the DISigns forum asking if someone could help me with a Finn McMissile CARS 2 birthday disign ... and next thing I knew ... here was my DISign! The DISigner uploaded the file to photobucket and then I was able to print at home on iron-on transfer paper ... I highly recommend www dot amymickey dot com 's paper ... it's AMAZING!!! Anyway, I can fit two shirts worth of disign per sheet of paper ... printed them out and put them on the pre-washed shirts ... I bought the shirts at WallyWorld ... they all had pockets on the front, but thanks to the ladies here I learned that removing the pockets with a seam ripper and washing them takes care of that problem!

Total there will be 10 kids at his party -including Finn & his brother. I did a shirt and a snack container (Target $1 bin had CARS tupperware bowls with lids a while back and I'm going to put snack mix in them) for each kid ... And give them out BEFORE the party in "swag bags" ... we're going to the movies to see CARS 2 ...
Is that cheesy? I didn't want to give them a bunch of junk AND since we're at the movies, I'm not doing a cake or cupcakes ... I'm buying the kids' tickets and the popcorn & drinks ... the moms are buying their own tickets ... we'll have: 3 6 year olds, 4 new 3 year olds, 1 4 year old, 1 5 year old, 1 2 year old...

Not cheesy at all! Sara Beth went to a party when she was about 3 and it was based on curious george. All the kids got the book Curious George makes Pancakes, an apron and a spatula! It was so cute and we still have all 3 things. Was the best goody bag ever.

The blue flowery princess fabric was from the Hancocks in Hampton Roads. I stopped there on my way home. Got the last they had. The lady at Walmart undercharged me for the peter pan panels. She charged me $3 a yard, instead of $3 a panel, so it came out to under $2 a panel. Since I am always getting screwed at Walmart, I didn't say anything.

I have bought the snow white one before online for ALOT more. Here is the dress I made last time. Hobby Lobby carries the coordinating fabric in the photo. Think I may need some more of it.

I guess I need to pop over to Hampton from time to time!

Love what you did with the SW panel. I have three of the Tink panels (and Walmart does charge by the yard for them, not the panel -- and if the guy in electronics cuts your fabric he give you 1/4 yd extra -- sadly I've only had him cut once for me). I have been hanging on to my panels to make something for BGs -- I thought maybe a dress with the Tink and tote bags with the smaller ones.

It's finally here! The long anticipated Insa! Thanks for all your support during the creation period!

You will have to excuse my model. My girls are out of town with my in laws this weekend so decided to use our lamp. Actually she models twirl skirts quite well...... I think I'll name her "Betty Bright!"

Front.

Back. Ruffles are so time consuming but totally worth the effort!

And a picture with the shirt that inspired my skirt.... ps the shirt has been done for a couple of weeks now! I fully intended on doing the skirt right away, but like I said.... completely intimidated! Not anymore! Loved making this skirt!

Thanks for looking!
Jeana

That turned out fabulous! I have seen ruffles done on the back on the underskirt with the overskirt left off on the back but it looks really cute on the overskirt as well. I really like your fabrics and the colors. And I really like the striped shirt too -- I always do solids thinking an applique would get lost on a pattern but your stripes are perfect! I am getting no where on my Insa -- still waiting for my freebie applique and I did CE today (YUCK!) instead of sewing. Also, I'm not sure if I have a shirt that is going to coordinate with my skirt fabric and the colors are going to be hard to find.

Could anyone recommend an embroidery machine for me? I'm looking into getting one but really have no idea where to even begin! I'd love to be able to do Disney designs with it... my daughter is 2 and LOVES to dress up (yay!!!)

Most people here will advise getting a 5x7 hoop (or 6x10 if you're wealthy). A good basic that a lot of us have that doesn't break the bank is the Brother PE 770. Mine came from Amazon, Teresa got hers on Overstock, some get them from HSN or QVC -- it shouldn't be anymore than $650.

I need to photograph the stuff I made so you can see it better, but here's some pics to hold you over until I do. The first are the photo pass pics, the second are ones I took. Sewing is my talent, not photography, lol. And I'm terrible about getting pics posted here, so excuse the links.

I really need to go look at each pic and don't have time right now -- but I surely will. I am sooooo excited that you took lots of pics to share. I hope you had a fabulous time!

Oh! I finished Phalen's "Rock Star" pants ... I've felt like I was back in the 80s all morning ... the kids were watching Bugs Bunny with my Mom and I've been sewing on neon zebra print All that's left is for the boys to start rockin' out to NKOTB and I'll know we went through a time warp!
Here they are with the T-shirt I found on clearance at Crazy8 -they go well together, don't they?

Oh! And here are the "Swag Shirts" for Finn's 3rd birthday party...

Close up(only Finn's has a name fill on the back):

Later today I need to make Phalen's red, white & blue pants and his star pants AND Finn's "RockStar" pants ... wish me luck, because FIRST I have to take Phalen to the doctor's b/c we think he might have Lyme's

CUTE rock star!!!! They had the pink zebra fabric on clearance at Wally's for $1 yd and I didn't have time to get it cut, went back the next day and the whole bolt vanished!

The Cars shirts are fabulous! I love them!

LOL Oh Andrea....
D~

I will see if can get over to Hancock's this weekend. 2 yards??? I will then have to get your address and then I can sell your address to Cheryl so this will be a great $-maker for me! The sale is good through Wed and it's 40% off

It's still "early" so at least if it IS Lyme's it'd be easy to treat ... if he DOESN'T have Lyme's, well SOMETHING has to be wrong ... he's lethargic (and has been for DAYS), doesn't want to eat, he has the NASTIEST breath and poor kid keeps brushing his teeth all day, and he had a rash on his face yesterday morning ... I need my crazy soccer player back!!! I'll be sure to let y'all know what the doc says ... thanks for the good thoughts!!!!

Ben had (has cuz it never really leaves you) Lyme Dz and his biggest symptom was a fever on and off for 5 days that would come and go. After the fifth day he suddenly couldn't walk. I had to carry him everywhere, including to the ER. They ruled out strep and treated him for Lyme and his titer did come back positive.

With the nasty breath PLEASE have a blood glucose done as well. Rash sounds viral though. Very confusing. Nonetheless, he needs to be treated and they will likely treat him for Lyme's if everything is ruled out. Hope he is better soon.

 

[budafam]

Okay, you guys (gals) are awesome! Thank you so much! I've done quite a few dresses for my little girl but have always had the embroidery envy. DH is refusing to go back to Disney next year so I'm hoping I can talk him into this to keep my mind off of it. Hopefully I'll be posting pics in this thread soon

 

[teresajoy]

Shoot, Firfox crashed and I lost a bunch of my quotes! bah. I have a headache and can't remember what I was quoting!

I do remember seeing Felicity though! AKA: Lucky Lucy! She is gorgeous!

Andrea (I think) I would love to see a picture of the $5 AG doll! I dream of finding one that cheap!

So, Patience has been bugging me a bit about getting this photos uploaded...

Before:

After:

D~

WOW!!! She is just gorgeous! You did a great job spiffing her up!

but so far all I've seen is a lot of posts about children's clothing

Did you happen to notice the name of the thread?

I wish I could help you with the embroidery machine. But, I really have no knowledge of he professional type machines. Most of us here just sew for our kids and the Big Gives.

So, today I tested a new pattern for an apron skirt ... I had lots of ideas running around my head, but I decided to go with a Belle's blue dress inspired look ... I found a cute tank at WallyWorld for $3.50 that looks like the top of Belle's white apron ... I used cotton (also from WallyWorld - couldn't beat $2.97 a yard!) in blue for the skirt and white for the apron part...

Whatcha think? I ended up making it in a size 2 and a size 5 to give as parts of birthday gifts for Finn's girlfriend and her older sister ...

The size 2 set:

The size 5 skirt:

Very cute!

Mikayla's (a size too small for my dd so the skirt is on the short side):

Alexa loved how the coins jingled on the skirts -- it was her favorite part. I am soooooo happy with how the outfits turned out and the ease of doing the Insa.

I'm working on two more Insa's for my dd. One is all cut -- I'm just waiting on a free applique (should have just paid for it to get it right away!).

These are just FABULOUS!!!!!!!! Really spectacular!!!

S

And - I never would have done this with my other machines - but check out this stitching... It's amazing! Any crookedness you see is truly operator error, because every stitch Patience makes is truly perfect!

D~

I love all the ruffles!

I have bought the snow white one before online for ALOT more. Here is the dress I made last time. Hobby Lobby carries the coordinating fabric in the photo. Think I may need some more of it.

I like the Brother 770. It has a 5X7 hoop, which should be good for you for quite awhile. You can download designs from anywhere and use them on the machine. My faorite digitizer is FrouFrou by Heathersue.

Okay, I finally had my camera out so I thought I'd take some pictures of Amy Grace. I found her (in her box) at Goodwill for $20. A few months later, I found an American Girl WC at the same store. Then a few months ago, I found forearm crutches. The rubber in the middle isn't in the same spot on both of them, but I only use one crutch, so I thought Amy Grace could do the same. They are a little too long, so I'm going to get my BIL to shorten them a little.

The outfit she is wearing was made many years ago and has a choice of collars. She is wearing the blue stars, so she will have red, white and blue. Her cat is named Amber and was adopted from a garage sale..so she is a rescue cat. Amy Grace has JRA, so she uses her chair for stamina issues and when her joints are very sore. Sometimes she needs a crutch for balance. She may go on my cruise with us and I might write a photo book about her experiences.

Whoops, I see I forgot to trim Amber's new bow.

 

[Mel0215]

Question....does anyone have a pattern to make a cover for the Cricut Expression???? if so, please PM me!
Thanks!!!! After seeing D's pretty coveres for her babies, think my baby needs one too!

I don't have a pattern, but I made this reversible cover 2 days ago. It was so simple. Only took about an hour total.

I took the mousepad that came with design studio (shaped like the end of the E, and made a template for that) and cut a rectangle 18 x 22 inches. (Next time I would make it 19 x 22 inches, I forgot the seam allowance) Then just sewed them together. I started sewing the curves at the top of the center and down each side (don't know how to sew well, I make do) If you're not making it reversible, then just hem the bottom.
Good Luck!

She is adorable! What a great find! And the crutches are amazing - I have never seen anything like them dolly sized - how perfect!

LOVE the Insa!!! Mike & Sully have such a great color palette! You did a great job!

Thank you! Those pant are crazy cute! I love the whole outfit! And the Cars shirts are adorable as well!

Love, Love, LOVE!!!!! This turned out SOOOOOOO CUTE!!! I love it, I want one, OK - I want my girls to want one - absolutely adorable and I can't believe this is your first Insa - great job!

Oh and your model... Ingenious! Betty has much smaller ankles than Ginger - but please don't tell her that.

D~

Thank you so much! And don't worry I won't tell Ginger, although Ginger does have some things that Betty lacks..... a torso for instance!

I love it! The colors are awesome! Did you really like the pattern? I am really, really debating on getting the book.
!

Thanks! I really, really, really love the pattern! I don't know why, but I am in love with the Insa skirt style! To be honest with you even if I never complete another project from that book-I would still think it was worth every penny!

That turned out fabulous! I have seen ruffles done on the back on the underskirt with the overskirt left off on the back but it looks really cute on the overskirt as well.

Also, I'm not sure if I have a shirt that is going to coordinate with my skirt fabric and the colors are going to be hard to find.

Thank you! I rarely pass up the opportunity for ruffles.. I was a little leery of using that shirt, but my DD insisted. Sully doesn't stand out as much as Mike, but I think it still looks alright. Can't wait to see your finished Insa! I promise you will be so happy after you are through!

WOW!!! This looks wonerful!!!!!! I love those ruffles!!!! You did a truly fantastic job on this!

Thank You!

CUTE rock star!!!! They had the pink zebra fabric on clearance at Wally's for $1 yd and I didn't have time to get it cut, went back the next day and the whole bolt vanished!

The Cars shirts are fabulous! I love them!

Thanks!!! Phalen picked out the green & yellow zebra b/c his favorite color is green ... I warned him I was using the pink zebra to do the pockets and he said he didn't care ... until he saw them finished and then said, "But the pockets are PINK " This from the boy that will TELL you he looks good in pink and has three different pink shirts ... Finn's pants are classic black & white zebra but will also have the pink pockets ... I'm procrastinating sewing by writing this post ... but hopefully they'll be done tonight!

Ben had (has cuz it never really leaves you) Lyme Dz and his biggest symptom was a fever on and off for 5 days that would come and go. After the fifth day he suddenly couldn't walk. I had to carry him everywhere, including to the ER. They ruled out strep and treated him for Lyme and his titer did come back positive.

With the nasty breath PLEASE have a blood glucose done as well. Rash sounds viral though. Very confusing. Nonetheless, he needs to be treated and they will likely treat him for Lyme's if everything is ruled out. Hope he is better soon.

I'm glad we're in RI and not NC right now ... in NC you have to MAKE them test for Lyme b/c it's not common like it is here ...
Our family doctor took a look at him and said it could be viral or it could be the start of Lyme so he'd rather treat for Lyme than not. Although I'm usually not quick to do antibiotics for my kids, Lyme is one thing I don't mess around with. My cousin had Lyme when we were in high school only they didn't know ... never saw the tick, never got the rash ... they thought he had mono, then something else, then another thing . . . until he woke up one morning with half his face paralyzed and he couldn't feel his legs. Thank God he recovered with treatment and doesn't show signs of anything today ... but it was terrifying.

So ... Phalen gets to have his first ever CHEWABLE medication ... he's always had liquid until now (which is a battle) ... so keep your fingers crossed this goes well!

I really hope everything is ok!

Thanks!!!
That's one of the nice things about growing up in a small town ... the family doctor in town has been my family doctor since I was Phalen's age ... I know him well enough to trust what he wants to do for treatment for my kids even though they MAYBE see him once a year (and usually less than that since they're pretty healthy) ... I only WISH I could find someone like him in Charlotte ... I have a great pediatrician there, but I have had 0 luck finding a doctor for ME

[livndisney]

I have not been sewing so how in the world can I be out of red, white and blue fabric? I buy those colors in bulk! (I know I will be stocking up after the 4th)


Piper-you have been holding out on us! I had no idea you had an AG. She is adorable!

 

[cogero]

This is sooo pretty! I love it and and the way you used the fabric! Just stunning!


It's finally here! The long anticipated Insa! Thanks for all your support during the creation period!

THIS IS JUST FABULOUS yes I was yelling I am in love with it.

I SOOOOOOOO wish I had an embroidery machine! Maybe I can find a sew on patch or something someplace .... Hmm ...

Oh! And here are the "Swag Shirts" for Finn's 3rd birthday party...

Close up(only Finn's has a name fill on the back):

adorable. Love them all

Anyone? What kind of embroidery machines do you all use?

I started with a combo machine Brother se-400 but it only had a 4 x 4 hoop. I upgraded to a PE-700 and then I also have a Duetta 4500 that has a 6 x 10 hoop

I don't have a pattern, but I made this reversible cover 2 days ago. It was so simple. Only took about an hour total.

I took the mousepad that came with design studio (shaped like the end of the E, and made a template for that) and cut a rectangle 18 x 22 inches. (Next time I would make it 19 x 22 inches, I forgot the seam allowance) Then just sewed them together. I started sewing the curves at the top of the center and down each side (don't know how to sew well, I make do) If you're not making it reversible, then just hem the bottom.
Good Luck!

Okay I will be making me one of these for my expression. I love it.

 

[Mel0215]

She is adorable! What a great find! And the crutches are amazing - I have never seen anything like them dolly sized - how perfect!



This turned out awesome! Is this a cricut cover or a machine cover (sorry, can't see what's under it).

D~

Yes, it's a cricut expression, my machine is still naked. One day it will be dressed too.

Awwww! I LOVE her! She is so sweet.

This is awesome! Great job!

[TinkerbelleMom]

Anyone? What kind of embroidery machines do you all use?

I've got a Brother ULT2002D that I inherited from my mother. She bought it when it was new, I think it was one of the first machines that did Disney Fill designs. I think the current machine is the Duetta...it does embroidery up to 6x10. It's also a combo machine, it sews too, but I use it mostly for embroidery because I also have a regular machine.

Thanks to all for the compliments on Amy Grace.

Piper-you have been holding out on us! I had no idea you had an AG. She is adorable!

Cindy, I have every doll I ever got as a child. I have a Toni doll I got when I was 7, a Saucy Walker I got at age 5 (have a picture of me holding her), 2 Tiny Tears (got one of my friends that she left at my house when she moved and didn't want back) a Buddy Lee dressed in a Coke uniform (got him when I was 5 or 6) and a couple of small and large Miss Revlon dolls. Oh, and a Ginny, too. I have a lot of their clothes, too. The top shelf of my closet is full of doll trunks! They are all in great shape. I had to have Buddy Lee restrung about 10 years ago and the lady in the doll hospital offered me $400 for him. My daughter isn't interested in them, so I may sell them to someone who would appreciate them one day.
