Disboutiquers Part 7 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[100AcrePrincess]

Most people who see it written pronounce it like that. It's a Gaelic name. When I lived in Ireland, I heard the name and loved it. Luckily DH agreed when the time came. Since there are SOOOO many people of Irish decent in Boston, I wanted something that was Irish but a little different. It means "Dream" Which was a complete set up because the kid didn't sleep through the night until she was 2 1/2

Guess I'm going to try my luck at the Simply Sweet pattern. Thank you!!

I think we used different versions of the same name.

I envy you your stay in Ireland. It's on my list of places I REALLY want to go someday.

Lara, thanks for responding to my paint question! I just can't make up my mind on paint colors!!

I really wanted a Gaelic name for my daughter, but looking at the spellings and pronounciatons...it made my head spin. My name is Elisa pronounced (ah-lisa) For my whole life, people have said it wrong. So when it came time to naming my daughter, I took the easy way out and named her Ireland...

These are so cute! I don't remember seeing Anastasia's, what does her's looks like?

Elisa, every time I see your daughter's name I think of this song:

"They say mother earth is breathing, with each wave that finds the shore. Her soul rises in the evening, for to open twilight's door. Her eyes are the stars in heaven, watching o'er us all the while, and her heart it is in Ireland, deep within the Emerald Isle."

Yup...it's two versions of the same name...In Ireland, Aislin or Aislinn is like a nickname of Aisling (best way I could think to describe it) The name is actually the #2 name in Ireland and it rare to find another one here!

You definately should go to Ireland (you know, if the dollar every improves!). I lived (and worked) there for a year and have been several times so if you ever decide to go...PM me and I can give you plenty of tips!

Well for what it's worth...I love the name! Gaelic names are tough. One, it doesn't sound remotely how it's spelled and two a lot of the names are harsh sounding.

I was supposed to be named Melissa Ann. My dad wanted to name Crystal Estelle. Well my mom comprimised and I am named Crystal Lannette. Lannette is after my dad's sister Annette. My mom just added the L. I like my middle name better than my first name. I have met way too many Crystals in my lifetime. I even met a brother and sister who were named Chris and Crystal and Chris is my brother's name.

I know! There were a couple that I loved the sound of, but the pelling made my head hurt & I just couldn't bring myself to mangle the spelling of a traditional name. I also like Orlaith & I've seen it spelled Orla so there's hope for that one if we have another someday.

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will now think of it also when I see miss Ireland in print or lovely photos!

I knew if I asked I would get great answers and I am glad I did so thank you all so much for helping out with the peasant top pattern. I think I am going to wait til DH gets paid and go for the gold and get the bundle pack that way I feel like I am getting WAY more for the $$$. It really isn't that expensive when you think about how much better the pattern will be but MAN...I just struggle. I have the faith top from YCMT and LOVE it. It was sooooo easy I just couldn't believe it!!! I wanted the insa pattern by Farbenmix but too much $$$ so I am trying to make one by eye...I will let you know how that goes...

And a while back I had asked about that mini serger..... everyone said don't do it!!! Well I didn't but guess what I got on sale last night at Hancock????? A SERGER

I don't know anything about it yet and it probably isn't a great brand. (I think I figured that out when I realized the video to help was VHS not DVD!!!) Forgive me but I just assumed in this day when you can not even buy VHS movies that this tut would be DVD. Am I crazy?

It is a White Speedylock I think, I don't have the box in front of me. But I got so nervous purchasing it because I have wanted one for soooooo long. I only paid $160 as it was a sale item. We will see how it goes.

Michelle your little girl had more hair at 5 days than Lillian did at over a year!!!

2cutekids I will so be pming you. I got a little crazy trying to get my hands on that toy yesterday. I had to drive almost an hour to get it.

There are so many cute things just since I posted you guys are fast.

That's what I bought today! I just wanted something simple and cheap that could finish seams and do a rolled edge hem. It's not even out of the box. VHS! Let me know when you have that figured out.

 

[revrob]

oh, here it is..

Did you make this one? I'm wondering about the hem on the jeans. Did you (or the designer) cut off the hem, open the leg, and then add ribbon to cover the raw edge? It looks like this could be a great option to the attached ruffle on the hem, but I'm trying to figure out how to do it? Can you help?

I have the White Speedylock 1600 and have been satisfied with it. I got it about 3 years ago. It's the only one I've ever had or even used so I can't tell you how it is compares to others. It doesn't do anything very fancy and the tension can be tricky to get adjusted if I change thread type but it works well for seam finishing - which is what I need it to do 99% of the time. I don't remember much about the video but I don't think it was much help. It really wasn't too hard to figure out, though.

I'm about ready to get something new that might be a bit fancier but I know I won't be able to afford much more than this. I'll probably keep this one as a back-up.
