Disboutiquers Part 27 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

Thought I'd share - this is one of my Pinterest boards: Disney Inspiration - using it to get ideas for sewing Disney

Nice board! You and I have a couple of the same things pinned. I have a Disney outfit board also.

I also found Heather Sue's site through your board!



I'm at a stand still on my smocking today until the moon glow beads I ordered come in. Then I'll stitch those puppies on and I'll be done with the Mickey outfit smocking! Woohoo! I need to work on some vintage Mickey pillows that I'm making for a friend of mine. So, that's on the agenda for the day.

What are you all sewing/planning today?

hedge333, your stuff is super cute!!

I'm posting a few pics of things I've made recently, although they're not Dis-related... waiting for a girly bigGive (cant seem to sew much for the boys!)
Just a few springy skirts and a top:

This one could be seen as Cindy inspired - a cute rag-a-muffin ensemble :

An earthy twirly skirt for mama:

A great rainy day for sewing - but I'm gonna take my wee one to the library for storytime first!

Cute!!!

I just ordered a Brother SE 400.
I can't wait for it to come! I've already shopped at Heather Sue's applique shop, and I am ready to take my Disney sewing to a whole new level!

Good Luck. I loved my SE 400

I love everything. Are you using vintage mats? I like the jumper style pattern your working with to.

I've done a Walmart search in the past without luck. Today I went to Creative Cuts from FB, and found this link. I don't think I've seen some of these fabrics. I love the pirates. And I don't think I've seen the Tink sitting on the spool of thread. I might need that for my handbag!!

Does anyone know what color dress Minnie Mouse has on at Disney Hollywood Studios right now. I am planning outfits for our first trip with our 3 kids and want to make sure my little girl matches her. Does she wear a pink hollywood outfit?? If so I think I will make her the pink polka dot outfit as opposed to the red one. Thanks guys.

Anyone have the Brother 770D? Do you think I'll be happy with it set up as my embroidery only machine?

Anything better? I'm looking for under 1K and at least 5x7.

Thanks!

I can't put pictures or links in my post yet!

I thought I'd show you all what I have been working on. We are going to Disney Live with some friends in March. I made Snow White dresses for my DDs (I posted a pic of one earlier). My dds will also wear them to Akershus breakfast in April. The Cinderella dress (ignore my hand's weird shadow) and Prince Charming shirt are for our friends' kids. Then the pillowcase tops are for our WDW trip in April. I let each girl pick out a fabric for Animal Kingdom. My 3 yo went with Winnie the Pooh and the 5 yo went with the tiger print. I've gotten all kinds of tips and ideas here. I can't wait to sew some more things for our trip.

Everything is great but I especialy like the prince charming shirt, so clever!

I am so excited! The double curved, left handed embroidery scissors that I special ordered just arrived. Am I a sewing geek or what!

Do you mean the PE 770? That is what a lot of us have, I love mine!

Ok, so I am working on outfits for my family for our first ever trip to WDW. And after finishing the first item, a Buzz & woody button up shirt for my 4yr old, I have a question. How do I make the button holes look better? I only have a regular sewing machine on which I attach the button hole foot. When I make the button hole the fabric is still attached in the center, and when I try to cut it out everything starts looking ratty. I have tried an xacto to cut the fabric and it did look a little better but still not very good. Is there a secret to making pretty button holes?

I use a seam ripper to open my button holes.

I'm left handed also, and I don't blame you for being excited! I have a pair of Ginger left handed scissors for fabric that I love, but it iritates me that the cover for them is still made for the right handed pair and I have to jam the screw into it. Beggers can't be choosers though... Enjoy your new scissors!

Do you mean the PE 770? That is what a lot of us have, I love mine!

Yes, that's what I mean. I'd been looking at so many, that I lost track of my numbers. So, you love it? What software do you use for editing and digitizing? I almost convinced to get it...now I just have to convince DH.

Me too!

I have very exciting news. I have known about this since December but at my daughters request I have kept quiet. She has now told everyone so I am allowed to shout from the roof tops that I'm going to be a Grandmother again!!!! As most of you know my son has 2 children but the Air Force has stationed him in OK and we are in NJ so we don't see them as often as we like. I am really looking forward to spoiling another grandbaby!!!!!!!

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

OK, I'm reading on Amazon that the PE-770 will not read the Brother Disney cards. Is this true? I'm not sure I'd even use them anyway though, but having them available was one reason I was leaning towards Brother to begin with. What say you?

Been awhile since I have seen Disney fabric in Canada, or at least Ontario. There are usually some prints in fabricland, but again, it depends on the province. I know there is only Winnie the pooh around here, but I think someone on here has seen more in the western provinces. I still check every walmart I go in, but haven't had much luck lately. And I have NEVER seen character Creative Cuts in Ontario.
