Disboutiquers Part 8 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[Adi12982]

Once you get your machine and put the pattern on it then you just kind of follow the directions on the machine. Each one is different that I have encountered so far and I just do trial and error. I did the first one on scrap just to make sure I had an idea of what to do.

On my disney brother they have a couple of built in designs and they are done completely different (well just less steps) then ones I have purchased elsewhere. They do not look nearly as nice either.

I can't really break it out because it depends on what design you do. Mainly it is sew, lay fabric, sew, cut and sew if that makes sense.

THANKS!! I really appreciate any help I can get I'm sure I will have more questions once the machine gets here!

Evening all!!! I've just finished my Big Give for Nathan. Its a sketchbook as he really enjoys drawing:

I hand stitched the Mickey and letters and made a slip cover to go over a hardback sketchbook. The ties were already there so I've just made a button hole to thread the ribbon through.

Here is the inside - I put a pocket in

One question for you all - do you think red ribbon would made it too girly? I want to get some grosgrain ribbon to much it look a bit snazier but I can't decide on a colour.

Even if I say so myself - I'm impressed!!! I feel a Christmas present coming on for my niece it was that easy to do.

I am so EXCITED!!! My husband bought me a new sewing machine. The one I have is 10 years old and does not do all the stitches it is supposed to (ie: zig zag...which is what I need to applique). So it is not a major one...but it is the CE5000 Limited Edition Project Runway (Brother) with 50 built in stiches & 87 stitch functions (which I have no idea what that means)....all I know is I can now start to do some of those incredible applique's I see you all doing!!!! YAYAYAYAYAY!! Sorry...no one else in my circle of friends & family understands how excited I get about sewing!! LOL!! I knew you all would.

Any suggestions or tips on this machine would be greatly appreciated. I just got it today...and cannot use it till this weekend...I am going out of town for work tomorrow morning and not returning till Thursday evening...ugh! I will be dreaming of it till then! hahahah!

Time to look at the Applique tutorials again! I did buy some self adhesive/fusible paper...but need to get a ton more colors of thread! any suggestion on the best thread to use???

THANKS FOR READING...I AM JUST SO EXCITED...I CAN BARELY CONTAIN MYSELF!!!!

I've been missing from this thread forever. I think I last posted on the old one! You all are just too fast for me! I did finally do some sewing. I surprised two of my neices by taking them to HSM on Ice.

Here they are when they discovered we were going to HSM and not the mall!

The outfits I made them.

Closeups

My first dabble at making necklaces. They didn't come out perfect, but they'll do. I'm sure I'll get better with practice.

Here they are singing along to the show. They have blue mouths from thier FIFTEEN dollar snowcones.

Oh, and I added about 3 installments to my trip report since I last posted. There is a link in my signature.

Great pictures! cute necklace and outfits

OK...so i just signed up on YCMT and purchased 3 patterns $31...and nothing??? I have called and emailed them, but no answer. I have check my library on their site...and there is nothing there. I checked my account balance (bank) and the charges have come through! I am so frustrated!!

 

[charlinn]

Thank you...what does the Dealership version mean?? I haven't heard that

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

I did elmo but just did his head. I had a hard time finding what I wanted and finally ended up using one from a sticker I had. I also have a placemat that has great ss characters on it.

I am doing just his face too. It will go with a pair of pajama pants. Did you outline with black thread or matching thread? Do you have a photo? Any tips or recommendations?

Hello! I made a Zoe outfit for Sesame Place.... did you see it? I don't want to be redundent but here it is:

THank you! I thought you had done Elmo or Zoe. Yours are adorable. Is it hard to go around the little black pupils in his eyes?

I have only made Mickey Head appliques so far so this will be my first multi piece multi colored applique.

Oh, I have that machine. I got it a few months ago. One thing I have learned the HARD way, it does not like to sew over pins! I have broken more needles in that machine that I think I have broken in all the time I have been sewing. I like the computerized stiches it does. Morgan is running around today in a dress I did computerized stitches on.

Have fun at your back to school night! I hope you can do as well as Riley's weirdo teacher did. He just stood there and said, "I really don't have anything to say" over and over and over. It was very informative!

BTW: small update on teacher situation......

Riley has asked me to call the principal and ask her to meet with us together. She wants to talk to her and let her know some of the things that are happening in class, but she in not comfortable going in on her own. She said that she understood that we had all told her what the kids were saying, but she thinks that the principal will understand better if she hears it from the kids.

I was just thinking about Riley today and wondering how things were going.
