Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes Part 3

[aimeeg]

WOO HOO! I'm OUT! It works! It works! Let the twirl skirts begin! I can't believe how easy it is (serger)! I did have to stop and rethread once. It was a tad bit difficult, but there's a diagram right there to follow. That thing is a speed demon! All of my creations will have gorgeous insides from now on! AND AGAIN!

Okay, if you can do it so can I. What model did you get?

As soon as the Closer is over I think I will fire her up!

so here goes...results of my first sewing projects since home ec in jr. hr high

the looks on my girls faces made every minute worth a million bucks
the younger one said as I asked her to try it on " Mom. it's finally done !?!?" the sewing machine has been on the dining room table since last week !

I learned alot..I think the next ones would (or is it will) be quicker...I even learned how to take apart the whole bobbin case when somethin' really bad happened....

Mallory as soon as she got it on

"swing around Mal it's a twirly skirt"

older sister Britt who really liked it too

Since my Mom has my sewing machine I have been busy cutting away. I did DD's first day of school dress pattern, a halloweenie dress, and Meg!

Here is the start to Hannah's Meg costume.

Also, here are the fabrics for Hannah's preschool dress. It is the start to a strip work skirt. These are the yellow polkie dots from Jo Ann's

That is fantastic!! Way to Go!!! I think your girls love the skirts. That is the best part. They are super cute. Do you know when they are going to wear them?

In reference to the different sizes for patterns. I thought I remembered someone (Zoe??) on here saying they bought a certain type of interfacing type material that had a grid on it. Traced the pattern and cut it out. That sounds like the thing to do to me...well if you will use it more than once in that particular size.

My sewing machine is acting much better now. I made a little pouch for knitting projects out of my cutie cute cupcake fabric (I will try and post it tomorrow) and it worked just fine. Maybe it just hates Pooh.

I got the Singer ultralock (manual says 14sh644). It was the only one at WalMart here. Get that puppy fired up! You can do it!

I went to Hobby Lobby today and found these cute fabrics. I don't think I have ever seen the Princess one before. I didn't know how much I would need of each one so I just bought the whole bolt. I figure what I don't use I can sell!

Thanks for sharing!! I've seen some great outfits made from that Santa fabric and I wanted to start looking for some. Now I know where to start. And I'm going right by a Hobby Lobby tomorrow on the way from the Dry Cleaners to the Library... guess I will have to make a little detour!

All this talk about Sergers has me interested in trying it out... 15-20 years ago when I worked at Cloth World (anyone remember that name before they became JoAnn's??) while in school, my mom bought a serger with my employee discount. I'm sure it has been in her closet for about that long...

There is a great continuing education program here in town, and they offer a serger class ... it's not cheap but it's a total of 12 hours of instruction. I think I might have to sign-up (after this last semester of grad school ends in November!!)

Here is the class description:
Almost all clothing commercially sold today is made with a serger. Sergers are multi-dimensional tools that take sewing to a new level. They make projects (clothes, crafts, and home decorations) look professionally constructed and finished. This class will get you up and running. Learn about threading, tension adjustments, inside and outside corners, curves, basic garment construction, troubleshooting, and different types of serger stitches. Gathering, ruffles, elastic application, rolled hemming, and flatlocking are just some of the techniques covered. The only prerequisite for this class is that you be able to take your machine out of its box. You'll make samples of the techniques on your own serger.

that sounds like a great class. it is always good to take a class to learn something new or even refresh ourselves!

Thank you! I stared at that fabric for days trying to think of the perfect shirt! Then I saw that polka dot fabric in my stash and walla! I love having toooo much fabric sometimes! Anastasis drooled over the outfit today, she says "I have to wear it wed!"

OH I wish I had something. I go totally weak every time I go to the local boutiques. I'd been out of them for awhile because my boys no longer appreciate looking "cute". Now I have a baby girl and oh my have I lost my mind.

OOH! Pettiskirts! DROOL! I've had one on order FOREVER - I can't to finally get it! I hope to have it in time for our WDW trip mid September.

Who did you order from? I keep looking at them and I always come back to the Kaiya Eve ones.(There's a couple others I like but the cost is not that much different and either they have a better photographer or I just like the looks of them better) Now if I could just commit to a color Please share what you chose and who did you order from..thanks.

Okay,

Forty total minutes from taking the serger out of the box to threading, serger and restarting the computer! Woo Hoo! I do not know how I lived without it and I do not know what I was scared off. Now I wish DH was not asleep so I could thank him properly!
