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

[WyomingMomof6]

Anyway, they are also obsessed with Star Wars so I found some cute Lego Star Wars designs (google Vincenzo Embroidery) and made these with an Ottobre magazine pattern.

I asked this before but I think it got lost in all the posts. Does anyone know where I can find these Star Wars sayings? I didn't see them on Vincenzo Embroidery. I want them for a Big Give.

If you type Star Wars into the search box the characters come up. The wording may just be done in the Emb machine software. It looks like fairly common font.

I will be at Disney beginning 8/27. We really have to vacation during the last 3 weeks of August since that is when Js summer break is (He goes to year round school)

.so we go the last week and come home before Labor Day so we have a day or so to get ready for school again.

Hoping to finish more on my list today. I also have to see what I haven't posted here since I have been posting in my PTR.

Have a great day.

my dd Brendi and her Hubs have put in an offer on a house!!!!
4 bedrooms,2 1/2 bath,basement,living room and separate family room with wall to wall floor to ceiling built in shelves! even a computer desk built in... a big kitchen/dining area with new range top with a grill on it! lots of windows,screened back porch ,huge fenced in backyard mature landscaping...house built in 1955 and renovated in *92...it is so pretty and looks like a wonderful place for their growing family! it's in the city limits which is a plus so they wouldn't have to pay tuition for the kids to continue going to the same school they love thier school so they would of paid tuition is they hadn't found a house in the city! i am so happy for them!
now to wait fro the banks to open so the agent can place the bid,its a foreclosure so no need to wait for anyone to move out...i know the process can drag on and on and there could be a snag here and there but i am praying things go smoothly and they get this home...Brendi,Elli & Blaze were in love with it form just looking in the windows...
sorry to go on and on but i am beyond excited...hope they can get it and be in before Brendi starts 'nesting!'...hehe...hre's the pic i snagged form the website! the house was just listed on thursday so i hope they get 1st dibs!

Good luck! Hope they get the house. I have no idea if foreclosures are still competitive these days -- I know they were for a short time. We have a house for sale in RI if they're interested

I made Simplicity 2065 which is the Disney Rapunzel pattern. It made up really cute! (BTW - Simplicity is 5 for $5 at J's today.) Here is the finished version:

Love it!!! DD is a big Hello Kitty fan, too. I made this last fall:

You ladies are sooo lucky! My DH about pooped himself when I got my $1400 machine on sale for $1000. Luckily, he has shut up about it since then because I use it constantly. I can't imagine how much something like this would cost to have someone else do it:

I'm also starting to plan customs for our August trip - bought some red with white polka dot tulle at J's today - something Minnie-related is on the agenda with that.

First though, I need to start on DD's Easter dress so I can get it pleated (plan to smock and one of the few toys I don't have is a pleater). Also, she is starting gymnastics in a couple of weeks so I got a couple of the Jalie leotard patterns and will be working on those soon.

DD is also into cheerleading and I made her a "real" cheerleader uniform last summer (before she got her first one from her team). I'm thinking about using the same pattern to make a Disney cheerleader outfit. It would be cute and perfect for August weather. This is what I made her last year.

Off to finish up a couple of projects for me and then start on more kid stuff.

My goodness! Do you sew 24 hours a day? I can't imagine doing so many things. And I saw you make plenty of clothes for yourself too! I think the cheer outfit would be really cute for Disney if you Disnified it.

Thank You for the warm welcomes!

Someone asked ( I'm sorry i need to learn to multiquote) about what i did. I deliver the local newspaper from 1 am until 3:30am which is about 200 houses and then i leave from there and go deliver the USA Today to all the hotels,businesses, and a few home deliveries which is about 90 stops from 3:45 until 7 or 8 am monday through friday. I drive 100 miles a day all in town. The only time that i have had a vacation is the 2 weeks that I take off when i have my kids and then the 2 1/2 week DIsney vacation we took in 2010 and we will take a 3 week Disney vacation this August. Other than that no days off because I can't afford to pay for someone to do my job. So I work nights and dh works his fulltime job and take a class to get his associates degree also. He is gone 7:45 am until 8 pm daily. Its a hectic life and a hectic household but it works and my kids are good. The only problem that i have is my ds who is 8 has asperger's, sensory processing disorder and adhd and somedays its a challenge with him. Other than that its all good!

With the brother PE770 its as easy as pulling it out of the box, threading it ( directions are on the machine) and loading the design with your flash drive and your off in a matter of minutes. I really like mine and would recommend it to anyone.

Since i am pretty okay doing the easy fits. Which would be the next easiest pattern from CarlaC to do? I have most of her patterns just sitting on my machine. I even bought a ruffler attachement and need to try and figure that thing out. I also have a serger but that thing intimadates me to no end but that would make things a lot easier wouldn't it? Sorry so many questions but no one in my family sews so I am all self taught and i do it with my 9 year old Maggeey who loves to do it also.

I can't wait to get going here and get to know you all.

It was I who asked. I just couldn't imagine what job would make you work 365 days per year and I still can't imagine why they don't have you working Mon-Fri and and have someone else do the weekends. That's just insane. Do you have to use your own car? You better get very well compensated if you do!

I think the Portrait Peasant is the next easiest pattern by Carla. The Simply Sweet is pretty easy too (and none of us line it so it takes a minute to figure out the layering for the first couple of times you make the dress -- at least it did for me).

I am self taught with my sewing and serging and embroidery machine. For the serger it took me readying the manual a bit and practicing on scrap fabric. And then it has days where it misbehaves and I want to throw it out the window (happens every 6 months or so). I love the serger though because it gives things a professional finish. I would be lost without mine. I use it all the time.

Love the hello kitty tee! my granddaughter Avery will be 5 on the 27th and she wants me to make her a hello kitty tee for her party... i've got the tee and the fabrics but no pattern...might just trace some clipart off the computer screen!
so glad i had you two ladies post hello kitty ...just in time to inspire me!
happy sunday morning...~beth~

good luck to you with selling the house in ri...but i'd have to beat my kids if they moved away with my g'babies...lol...thank goodness they all live in town so i am close to their homes when i am in town for work...we live about 15 miles outside of 'town'.
there are many foreclosed homes around ,just hard to find one with 4 bds and 2 baths,or 3 bds and a bonus room { for Elli since she is the oldest!} they found a few they liked but someone beat them to the punch so we are hoping they were 1st on this one since it was listed thurs. but their agent was busy friday so they didn't get in till sat. and someone had shown the house the night before...it is a lovely house,she said it has 'ugly' tile form the 50's in the bathrooms...in my mind i'm thinking COOL! hehe i can't wait to start helping make curtains,pillows,window seat cushion for the bay window...

I remember seeing your post, but I don't have an answer. If you type question in RED, it might jump out more and not be over looked.

Wow! Can't imagine working that much... I can help you out with the ruffler attachment though... Here's the link for the best ruffler tut out there - plan on fiddling with it for a few hours, but once you get it dialed in, you rarely have to do it again... Of course - it's by Carla C. and it's free...

http://www.youcanmakethis.com/products/featured-products/free-the-ruffler-unruffled.htm

I can probably help you out with your serger, as well... I am totally self taught on all of my machines... Thanks to Youtube and lots of reading, I was able to order my serger off of Amazon, and totally learn how to use it before it got here... I purposly purchased the serger that was featured, and also, if you look on the side bar, there's a bunch more videos on how to use a serger... Once you get the hang of it - it's fairly simple - believe it or not. Just remember, your manual is you best friend - no matter which machine you have (sewing, serger or embroidery) Here's a tutorial...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N76frq1lEbM&feature=related

And Carrie... I do plan on getting back into the foot of the week (FOTW) after we return from our trip... I have a few more feet that I'd really like to get the hang of (the bias foot for one)...

Oh, and I wanted to post pictures of my latest creations... A mini-UPB... I redrafted my pattern and came up with a mini style... I really like it, but it's too small for me... Over all - I am very pleased with how this bag turned out!

And also, our coordinating tees for our trip:

I know a lot of you follow my PTR... so I totally apologize that you have to look at this pictures again.

DH & I for 7 years had a Sunday Paper route. We had about 300 customers and it was great way to save money pre-kids but I hated Saturday nights because I was so afraid to oversleep and Sunday I was just so tired. If we ever went on vacation we were always home by Saturday since we didn't have anyone to fill in for us either. I still have nightmares of doing it and we gave it up after I found out I was preggo with my DD.
I just can't imagine doing it everyday and give kuddos to you for doing it.

SO many wonderful things posted!

I posted about 20 pages ago asking for advice on making outfits for Legoland. Someone suggested the following:

I loved the idea. Here is the result:

Thanks so much for sharing your ideas with me! My DD loves how this came out, but I have to admit it has me considering putting a serger on my Christmas list.

So cute! My DD & I are planning on going to LegoLand in May. I thought about making her a skirt like that but thought she would think she's too old for it so I was going to make her shorts and applique T but when she saw your skirt she said "I would wear that". That's saying a lot from my tomboy! Off to go read your PTR.

So, many of you know that I've been working on refurbishing a vintage Singer like D's. I have FINALLY finished and have her ready to sew! I'm SO excited! This was a major learning experience for me. I re-did the wiring, stripped down and cleaned out the motor, and scrubbed and polished my girl until she shines! I cannot wait to get going on some projects on Beth! Here are a few before and after shots: (photo overload ahead )
And, finally, bright, shiny, working(!) Beth. See that silver sparkle!

I want to offer a HUGE thank you to D. for the inspiration to attempt this, for help with resources and cleaning tips, and for troubleshooting a stitching issue with me! (The arm was bent on the bobbin case!)

Unfortunately, dh came home sick from work tonight, and my boys are also sick, so any real sewing on Beth will have to wait a little while longer. Please pray that dd and I do NOT get sick!

Regards,
C.

Stunning!!!

Hope you're all feeling better!

Forgive me for going WAY off topic, but I could use some help. One of my best friends is pregnant with her first child (due in July) and I want to try to make her something very specific. We both had one of these growing up: http://www.thisoldtoy.com/new-images/images-ok/400-499/fp442-blue-security.JPG and she mentioned to me that that's one thing she really wants for her son. I set out to buy one on eBay but they're all going for around $70!! I mean, I love her and all but that's a bit ridiculous, right?? Anyway, I'm not about to go digging around for mine and take him apart to try to figure out how to make one (what? he's my bunny! ) but I was wondering if any of you had ever come across a pattern for something similar. I could probably figure out how to make something similar as it doesn't look too complex but I just thought I'd ask.

DH had a paper route as a kid but he had to ride his bike everywhere. If it was raining on Sunday morning his neighbor would sometimes drive him to deliver -- his neighbor presided as the bishop (Mormon) at our wedding. Sad to say I got their Xmas card returned this year and asked dh about it and dh's response was "maybe he died." Gotta love my ever so thoughtful dh. I will call dh's sister's this week to see if she knows his current whereabouts as she still lives in the area and may know. Can't call dh's mom because she has dementia. And I just got the card returned last week -- I mailed it Dec 14!

Here is a pattern you can buy with a teddy bear so maybe you could adapt it for a bunny:

Hoping to finish more on my list today. I also have to see what I haven't posted here since I have been posting in my PTR.

Yup we will be there at the same time - we'll get there just a few days before you do!

The bag is perfect! The tees are great too. Can't wait to see pics of you girls in them!


Speaking of paper route, I had a weekly flyer delivery route early on in college. It was right in the area where I lived so I actually didn't have to drive. They dropped off the flyers and I went out for "a walk" in the afternoon to deliver them. It was a good way to make some money as a student. Thankfully I got better paid part time jobs (and indoors) since my second year in college, so it was a short lived experience for me.

Ok, I must go and pack. We are leaving for Disneyland in less than 24 hours. We will be meeting up with Lisa and Megan tomorrow evening. It will be the first time I get to meet a Disboutiquer in real life!

I asked this before but I think it got lost in all the posts. Does anyone know where I can find these Star Wars sayings? I didn't see them on Vincenzo Embroidery. I want them for a Big Give.

I got the Lego Star Wars characters from Vincenzo and the lettering was doen on my own in Embird. I forget what font I used...

This came out darling! I need to make the hair peice for my neice. She asked me for it, so I have to do it.

Warning - the pattern instructions do not produce what you see on the envelope - they produce what you see on my DD's head - basically a bun wrap, not a head wrap. If you want it to look like the picture, double up the instructions.

They make several variations of those. I don't know if what she wants needs to look exactly like the picture you posted but if you go to Target, WalMart or any baby store you will find those animal head security blankets all over and with Easter coming soon I will bet there will be a few bunnies around.

Here are a few examples
