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

LOL...Love it! I haven't even been able to get it to save anything in PES! So you are miles ahead of ME!

I'm sure you've tried this, but in SEU, you don't actually "save" as a format, you only save as an seu file (.dsg or something like that). You export as a PES. Select the little pull down arrow by the save button and then click export. Select .PES and voila! That should work anyway!

Thanks, I actually have that info saved on a word file if I ever decided to try it again...in fact I have SEVERAL of your posts saved on this subject!

Seriously, the copy I have will not export...I was told it was a defective download, probably a corrupted file. I really need to get the disk and try again with it.

I can't get mine to give the spot to save it anymore either. I don't have a clue what I did the first time because it worked but of course I was just fooling around then.

Are you speaking Latin? I never took that in school.

I feel your pain.

HA!! No Latin - I guess there was a little French in there! But, with SEU, I just fiddled with it for a while until I finally got it. There isn't much help out there!

Just a question from a non-sewing Diser. (I use to sew all the time but my eyes are not up to the detail anymore) My 3 year old granddaughter loves Sharpay and wants a Sharpay dress, the pink one with black trim and the hat. Found a hat in the right color at Target is tne $2 bin and I can add a black ban to it. My question is how hard to cut a pattern similiar to her dress, the dress is kind of fitted at the waist and bodice. I found someone to sew the dress but she doesn't cut her own patterns so I have to give her a pattern to use. Any one familiar with the dress please let me know what you think about cutting patterns that are fitted in the bodice.

 

[teresajoy]

Since it was someone on here that got me addicted to these key fobs, I thought I would post the ones I made for teacher gifts. (yes, I am cheap. with 10 teachers, key fobs is all they got!)

And, I'm hoping the picture is coming out large enough (the real reason I am posting this! LOL) I am attempting to use Teressa's instructions... but then again, I never have been good at doing what I am told!

Nini

These are so cute!!!

I bought a basic black t-shirt from Michael's that I put an applique on. It is fairly boxy and I want to try and make it more girly but I'm not sure what to do with it. Any suggestions? TIA

I was going to suggest what Ellen said. Lay a t-shirt you have on top of it, and then cut around that to take it in. I've done this several times.

Thanks for the compliment on the dress and the embroidery (I know a few others commented on them as well - so thanks as well. It really makes me feel good to receive positive comments from here!). I think that's all the Jamie dresses I'll do for now. My next project is to upgrade my Minnie Rosetta to *gasp* a large one! I use my bag as a carry-on bag too so it has to be big enough for the laptop. The last version was barely big enough and the zipper was almost busted on the way home! I guess I will be "the one who carries a large bag at the parks even though she does not have children's gear to tote around."

I just love seeing everything everyone makes! How long have you been sewing?

I can't wait to see your big bag!!!

I am a bit jealous too...

But I look at it this way... I miss seeing stuff posted as it is. If we had our own sub-forum, and in turn, had our own threads - I could see where I could miss something.

OTOH - Disboards would reduce their bandwith by a considerable amount, because we wouldn't have to quote each photo numerous times - we could just reply to a thread.

Thought provoking... I wonder if Disboards would give us our own sub-forum if enough of us wanted it?

D~

And...OT...but, is it just me who is jealous that the DisDads get their own subforum, and we're on thread #25 and don't have one? Color me Green with envy...

We've actually discussed it on here several times, and most of us just like it the way it is. I find it much easier to keep up with as one big thread. But, several of us did ask way back when if they would make us a subforum, and they didn't do it. But seriously, I have a much easier time posting to a thread, as opposed to starting one of my own. I get nervous starting my own threads!

LOL...thanks everyone for the compliments on my ability to follow instructions (I guess there is a first time for EVERYTHING!)

I got the fobs from ebay. I know there are a lot of sellers on the site...some of them include the webbing in case you want to make them that way. I knew I wanted to use the embroidery machine for mine, so I only needed the fobs.

I wanted to make sure I had the right seller...they were fantastic to deal with. The original order had a problem. Well, more accurately, the post office lost the package. I always track my purchases, and on the day the postal service said it was to be delivered, it went MIA. After 2 days, the post office said they couldn't find it.

The seller sent me a second package and 2 days later , both the original and the duplicate arrived. I tried to pay for the duplicate, but they wouldn't let me. They said they would do whatever was necessary to make sure they had satisfied customers.

You don't see that type of customer service much any more...so I HAVE to support them. (after all, I am STILL fighting with the person who took my money and never gave me my pettiskirts! That was almost a year ago!!)

So here is the link I have to get them...

Nini

Yes, very good job following directions!!

These are great Nini! I've made them before, but I've never actually used any. LOL I should really make one for myself for once.

D~

yes, you should!

Thanks. How did you enlarge the pattern? I could have probably gone a little bigger but it fits so I am happy

When I enlarge it, I use Foxit PDF (instead of Adobe) it lets you set the percentage that you want to print at. I've had good success doing it that way.

I give up, I'm just starting here because I'm so far behind I'm never going to catch up! Been crazy busy here, school ends june 1st andall of the end of year performances/awards banquets/parties have us on the go. I'm glad I did so many outfits for Rebecca to wear on our WDW weekend in march because I haven't done a thing so far for our cruise.

Right now I'm sitting in the car waiting on DD Marissa to finish an audition...at WDW! It's at the rehearsal facility near AK, I can see EE from the parking lot here. . AK costuming is in the same building, but I controlled myself and didn't take a pic when I went in to use the bathroom. it is fun watching CM's come and go with wardrobe changes, and trying to guess where they work in the park. Dinoland ones are easy to figure out!

I'll post her results good or bad when I know When she's done we plan on hitting one of the parks for lunch and maybe an attraction or two before heading home.

I think I know right where you are. Are you on the little side road, Sherberth Rd? (near the obnoxiously bright electronic billboard sign for the gift shop?) Our timeshare is right near there on 192, so we take the back way to Disney.

We got back from our trip on Wednesday and I'm all caught up, but wow TMTQ!!!

We had such a great time at Flower and Garden! I'm hoping to go back next year for a longer trip!!! I'll post pics as soon as I get them off my dad's camera and mine! So many compliments about my daughter! Didn't see too many other customs though.

I'm glad you had fun!!! I can't wait to see your pictures!

Did you make sure you generated the stitches before you tried exporting? It took me forever to realize I had to click that. It's the little lightning bolt in the toolbar or you can just click F9.

I think it is very sweet that Corey has offered to pay for one night. You did a great job as a parent raising him to be someone so caring. I am happy to hear that Barbara is responding well to treatment. I hope she will countinue to do well and get to enjoy that special treat!

Aww, thanks! I think he is pretty wonderful too!
Please keep praying that Barbara continues to respond to this treatment.

This Cinderella work dress I saw on here a few weeks ago. I just loved it! I had to make on for my little niece to play in!

My husband says that this is the cutest thing I've ever made. But I can't take credit for it. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration on here!!!

AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so cute!!! I LOVE the shoe in the pocket!!!!! SO ADORABLE!!!

Anyone adjust a Disney Parks jasmine top? I think I can add elastic with casings to the back panel but I still want the straps to fit. Can u get clear elastic?

 

[teresajoy]

I finally took some pictures of Lydia's Sea World dress that I was making before I left for vaction. This is the dress I have named the "dress-of-too-many-appliques" I had orignaially intended to do 11, but ended up doing 14 instead. I think lack of sleep affected my good judgement! LOL! Lydia and I loved the way it turned out though, and she got so many compliments at Sea World! One of the CMs there asked me to make HER one!

Ok, now here are too many pictures of the dress of-too-many-appliques!

Funny story, sort of... once I was all done with the dress, I realized I had forgotten to make the sea horse!!!!!! so... I had Arminda stitch it out for me, and then when we got to Florida, I sewed it on. Unfortunately, I wasn't thinking and grabbed white thread instead of purple or pink! But, thanks to my mistake, Lydia decided that the dress could be "turn aroundable" (she said that reversible would have to mean she could wear it inside out...)

Here are the appliques on the side:

and the appliques on the other side:

This picture is for you Andrea!

I posted this on Facebook, so I'll be lazy and copy and past it here:
If you accidentally don't get your hoop hooked on correctly, and you have to redo part of your applique, a cute little bow makes a nice cover up for your mistake. Not that I would know....

Arminda had originally asked for a dress just like Lydia's, but after seeing how long it took me to make all the appliques, she said she only wanted a t-shirt with Heather's Believe design and a headscarf with two appliques on it..

The manatee was on the other side, but I didn't get a picture of that.

My sweet babies

I forgot to mention, this is the Simply Sweet frankenpatterned with the Scallopini (both by our friend CarlaC). I didn't line the scallops because I was afraid it would get too hot. I did a rolled hem with my serger instead. Lydia didn't complain about it being too hot, so I guess it worked!

Well your "dress with too many appliques" turned out beautiful and it looks like she really enjoyed wearing it ....so that makes it worth all the time and effort it took! great job and thanks for sharing!

WOW! I won't even insult the dress by doing thumbnails. It is beyond amazing. I can't begin to imagine how many hours went into its creation, but well worth it. I especially like the puffer fish, the clown fish, the ray, and the fabric you used for the underskirt. Hope there's an aquarium near you that you can visit weekly during the summer.

Bravo!

Oh.my.goodness!!! My 8 year old just saw that and said "Mommy I WANT THAT DRESS!!! Even if you never ever make me anything else, will you PLEEEEEEEASE make that dress?"

Do I dare even ask where the appliques came from? That dress is a work of art and would be perfection for a dinner at Coral Reef.

 

[TinkerbelleMom]

I'm on the iPad, so I can't do a quote with pics easily, but the Sea World dresses are awesome, Teresa! I love the water looking fabric you made the underskirt on...where did you find that?

You're right, I was on Sherberth road! It made getting to AK a breeze. She didn't make this audition...there were more than 90 there, and they only kept 5 girls, all of whom were very petite she said, and probably were cast for the pixies. But she came out of it with a good attitude, and is ready to try again with Royal Caribbean next weekend. She said she'd be wiling to try Disney again. Out of the whole group only one other besides her hadn't auditioned for them before.

This is so cute! (I am trying to catch up from backwards! LOL)
I have been wanting to try frankenpatterning the scallopini with a bodice for a while now, just haven't felt like I had the right skillset yet. My only Frankenpattern so far has been a Simply Sweet bodice with a Portrait Peasant rhumba skirt. I've made a Scallopini twice. To make it into a dress, do you just eliminate the yoke and make the skirt piece longer to attach it to the bodice?

It shouldn't be too difficult. This Butterick pattern is pretty close, actually

http://butterick.mccall.com/b5020-products-7638.php?page_id=376 and Butterick patterns are on sale for $1.99 at JoAnn's through tomorrow. She could just cut a few more of the skirts out of tulle to layer underneath.

 

[VBAndrea]

Thanks. How did you enlarge the pattern? I could have probably gone a little bigger but it fits so I am happy

I tried the program Teresa suggested but I couldn't get it to work right. So I just used Carla's chart for enlarging and mathematically calculated out how much I needed to enlarge the pattern and just hand traced that measurement onto the largest pattern size. The problem is I made it for a BG and the girl's chest measurement was a little bigger than what the next size up would have been so I extended a wee bit more and I guess that made it a little too big I don't know -- the girl liked the dress alot but in the pic it looked big. So was that explanation as clear as mud?

I have used the easy fit pattern to make board shorts for years. Gianna likes her shorts a little slimmer than the easy fit pattern so I just narrow the entire pattern a bit and cut it to the length needed. They look great and are super easy.

Do you narrow the waist as well? Do you narrow everything the same amount or taper it? I'd like pockets added too, but I think I could actually make my own pattern for those.

We got back from our trip on Wednesday and I'm all caught up, but wow TMTQ!!!

We had such a great time at Flower and Garden! I'm hoping to go back next year for a longer trip!!! I'll post pics as soon as I get them off my dad's camera and mine! So many compliments about my daughter! Didn't see too many other customs though.

I can't wait to see your pictures! Forget the laundry -- upload your photos instead!

Sounds like you're ready to get Stitch Era Universal and do your own digitizing -- 1. you've had your machine almost two whole weeks, 2. you won't need to buy so many designs, and 3. then I can learn from your questions

Here's my first attempt to tame SEU, a logo for my older son.

If you look closely you can see a J or maybe a G or an A

Not sure why it turned out so small . . .

. . . but I don't think I'll give up my day job just yet.

Sounds like you're ready to get Stitch Era Universal and do your own digitizing
In your wildest dreams!!!! Once I get done doing my 21 new designs I'll get right on that!

Actually, I'm quite peeved because khaki boy's t-shirts are impossible to find. I'm going to have to see what Jiffy shirts has. ACMoore is worthless and Michaels doesn't have them either -- though their color selection is a bit nicer and they have shirts 5 for $10 starting Sunday.

I'm really impressed with your digitizing -- the dime turned out really nice -- it's so realistic looking!

So this is a program you buy and digitize your own designs with? I would love to do that, but not sure I have the patience to figure it out. I'll just put Heather to work if I really need something I can't find!

OMG!!!! That is gorgeous!!! Aside from the appliques, I love the fabric you did them on and the underlying fabric on the skirt. Just amazing!!!! And why do I get a picture dedicated to me? Are you worried I'm making mistakes???? I've done quite well with 6 t-shirts so far (well 7, but it's no longer a t-shirt since it got eaten).

I'm on the iPad, so I can't do a quote with pics easily, but the Sea World dresses are awesome, Teresa! I love the water looking fabric you made the underskirt on...where did you find that?

Sorry your dd didn't make the cut, but with that competition it had to be rough. Likewise, if they are looking for a particular body type it makes it impossible if you don't fit the bill. That happened to me in HS drama -- they were casting two sisters and my real life sister got the part but I didn't b/c we don't look enough alike -- they picked another girl who was almost identical in size to my real life sister.

This is so cute! (I am trying to catch up from backwards! LOL)

If you have a pic of your SS with rhumba skirt I would LOVE to see it. I was thinking of trying that but with long layers for the rhumba skirt. There was a dress posted on here last thread that I want to figure out and it had a SS looking bodice with a three layer skirt.
