Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes Part 3

It is?! Cool
I never noticed I thought everyone said this. Maybe a british term?

http://www.wordreference.com/definition/wonky

I also found this definition at merriam Webster:
wonky
One entry found for wonky.


Main Entry: won·ky
Pronunciation: 'wä[ng]-kE
Function: adjective
Inflected Form(s): won·ki·er; -est
Etymology: probably alteration of English dialect wankle, from Middle English wankel, from Old English wancol; akin to Old High German wankOn to totter
1 British : UNSTEADY, SHAKY
2 chiefly British : AWRY, WRONG

So, it looks like it is more of an English word.

My little baby girl is now a school kid!

She looks so cute it her new outfit. I'm facing my DD's first day in about 10 days. I know at least the first few days I'll be picking up and dropping off at the school... I'm just not ready to let her do the bus by herself.

You ladies (and Tom) are a horrible influence!

I had to go to YCMT there are at least 8 more patterns that I HAVE to have and quite a few more that I would like to have. I was good, I only bought one today so I can conquer a twirly skirt or two. I didn't want my husband to flip out. He's already told me to knock off the fabric buying for awhile. I'm trying to be good until next pay day but I actually should be set on fabric until we get back from our Sept. trip and then I can get started on outfits for our Nov./Dec. trip.

I thought a machine with the Disney name attached to it would be high quality, but I feel like it is cheap, flimsy, plastic CRAP!

That is almost word-for-word what my DH said! I mean it's DISNEY people!!! It has my boyfriend, Mickey on it!!!
We called the warranty people this morning and they are mailing me a new machine and a sticker to mail the crappy one back. Hopefully the new one will actually work.
Mine was making a grinding noise and then the feed dogs would suck the fabric in the bobbin case and chew it up. And the bobbin thread just tangled up on the fabric. Or it would just make a mess in the case. Oh, did I mention that it has already broken 3 needles? Yes, in 2 weeks of owning this beautiful piece of _______ (feel free to insert whatever word you visualize when you picture my fabulous Disney Brother machine!!!).

I know I haven't been around the thread in a while, but I was hoping someone could help me troubleshoot a problem I'm having sewing elastic.

My machine is the Disney Brother SE-270D. When I sew elastic, the bobbin thread won't turn and the bobbin thread snarls and tangles up.

I've asked my mom about it, and she has no idea why it does that. She said she has never seen a machine do that.

I've read in the manual and I've been using the stitches recommended for sewing elastic. I'm getting very frustrated, and I'm afraid my machine will break. I've been having to hand stitch my elastic together, and I don't like doing that.

Please help me! Has anyone else had this problem?

I have the same machine and it does the same thing for me. I cannot get the elastic thread to work at all. It tangles everything up and I have to dissect the machine to fix it. I am not any help, but I wanted to let you know you are not alone

I had an idea...
you know how there is the photobucket link with all the pictures of our creations? What if we add the pattern number as a caption? Then it would be easier to CASE? Just an idea...

Wonderful idea, but there is no way I can do that for all the pictures. I barely can keep up as it is. If anyone wants to help add the pattern numbers on the site I am more than happy to pass on the user name and password. Right now dh is gone for the Army for 2 months, I have three kids, watch more kids, and can barely walk around due to horrible morning sickness . Ah, thus is life

Bless your heart! I thought anyone could change the caption. I didn't realize there was a user name and all that. I knew that you put the pictures in there but I didn't know how it worked. I am not the most computer savy gal. Sorry to scare you with the idea of more work!

Hi All. I'm new to this thread - but I'm really enjoying it. HAs anyone ever done anything with a Mulan theme? I'd love to embellish overalls or something for my niece with her favorite character.

Not a problem! Some days I do want to run from the computer when I see there are 20 pages I need to catch up on, download then upload the pictures But there are a few wonderful ladies on this board who help out, and I know it makes everyone's lives easier, so no biggie I do think it would be wonderful to get the pattern number. I'm always trying to figure out how to Case things

Hey I'm just glad you check out the site I wish I could get more detail attached to everything (who made it, pattern number, etc) but oh well.

Ummm I forgot now who made the outfit but - The Hannah Montana outfit is amazing! I love the layers and ruffle and tulle on the musicial note skirt!! How did you do that?????

I believe that was me! Thanks so much!!! I started with McCalls pattern #5221 view F - then just modified it to add the tulle. I bought the strip tulle at JoAnn that is in rolls and sewed two layers to the back of the ruffles before gathering. I found out that tulle isn't the easiest to work with - but love the end result.

My little baby girl is now a school kid!

She looks adorable! How are you holding up?

 

[Twins+2more]

does anyone have the ycmt code off hand, i've been searching and searching but no luck. Thanks.

 

[Hahawillis]

I am looking for a ruffler foot for my NEW brother 6000i. Does anyone know what kind of foot I should be looking for? Do I need to buy it from Brother? I asked at Joann's but they looked at me like I had 8 feet. sticking out of my head.
(3 min for the new sewing machine!)
THANKS!!

 

[mommytoe]

Please don't look at the messy hair. It has been a bad day here, but I don't want to go into that. Also the dates are wrong on the pics, because my camera won't keep the right date on it.

The first is the dresses I made for last Sunday on my old machine. The second are dresses I made on my new machine for promotion Sunday (My youngest moves out of the preschool class and into the elementary class.)

I am working on a couple of Mulan orders right now. I will post pictures when I have them done.

HELP!!!! I am trying to figure out WITHOUT splitting seams on the jeans - how to get some patches on for DS - I found some really cute iron on puppy's and some puppy love and pawprint fabric to make the patches out of. Thought it would be cute as jeans and T-shirt for him and then a matching skirt and t-shirt for DD... I can sew on the jean skirt no problem - it's the jeans im confrused on!

UM - I was in Joann's with my son on tuesday he's asleep with head on the bar of the cart just coming from the Dr. he's got a double ear infection and had his shots. And I thought of you with your disguses when I saw a lady carrying around some disguise type glasses from the halloween stuff... took all I had not to giggle at her!

I wanted to share the Minnie Mouse pillow case dress actually on DD - I know I shared it while on the hanger but here it is "live" Here's one with her and Minnie and one with Mickey (who was THE best mickey EVER!!!!)

Adorable!! to your little one! One word for you: TUBES they absolutely CHANGED OUR LIFE! Lydia had ear infections constantly from the time she was 8 or 9 months old until she was 18 months. Seriously, she never DIDN'T have one. Then, we got tubes and WOW, she has had ONE since then, and she's 4 1/2 now.

Ok, I let Megan pick what kind of bottoms: the jeans cut off into capris, regular capris or skorts. She picked skorts so I went with that. I still have fabric left so I figure I can make the jean/capris when it gets cooler. I would have done some things differently, but I'm not messing with it now. I would have done the Mickey ears better (someone asked why there was a muffin on the child's head at the bus stop). I would have used matching thread for the hair and maybe the face. I wanted to stitch her name on the Mickey ears but it was too late when I thought of that. I tried to do it with it already on, but was unsuccessful. Anyway, Megan loves it and had to wear it to school today so I am off to Joann's to buy Nemo fabric and then I am done with Disney for a bit I think. I have only made her seven outfits for four days!

She looks so adorable! I love the skort.

Here's an outfit my DD wore to school today... I thought it was rather funny that it looks a lot like the other shirt LisaZoe posted... of course I'm SURE mine is not sewed as well. I'm still learning!

She just came home from school, so she's all tired and its a bit "worn" (ie: dirty from lunch) LOL

Here it is!

I need to catch up on the thread, and comment on all the great new posts... so easy to fall behind!

CUTE! how many Zoes do we have on here?

LOL - I HAVE to use a pattern - messes me up to think on my own. Pics please!

OK - as per your order - I stayed up until 2 AM to finish the skirt! LOL! I still need to make a top - I have a really cute iron on and then I was going to add a heart patch of the note fabric - oh and some "bling" LOL. I have been practicing with the iron on's I ordered on DD's underwear and inside her clothes! The iron on instructions say they are supposed to be used on white fabric - and that would not match! I am thinking I will have to use a purple. Do you think it will turn out OK? No DD to model because she is at Grammy's. Oh - and how do I wash this with the tulle? I feel pretty fancy since I altered the pattern and added the tulle myself - and alternated fabric! LOL - Baby steps!

I love this!!!

All I can do is beg you to accept me for who I am. Yes, I hate Harry Potter! I would not read it if someone paid me. (I did see the first movie and I know it is not the same.)

I guess I should just get it off my chest - I do not like Harry Potter, Star Wars, Star Trek, Midevil times, or okay wait for it American Idol!

Please let me still be your friend. I know I am not the only one!

Oh thank goodness!!!! I to DETEST Harry Potter! That's why I had to find out that the word Wonky was NOT just a Harry Potter term, because I think it's a really cool word.

Aimee, I'll be your friend, I am with you on two of the three so, I can't judge
To funny.

Second peasant shirt status: Done (except for hem)
And its to big. Well not huge, but hopefully by Nov it will be do-able.
I will hem it then.

excuse the little hand, she seems to like it.

So, now that I have done two of these I have noticed something I want to change next time.
The body is a square and I wish it flared out a bit for easier dressing. Anybody else notice this with this particular top....
http://indietutes.blogspot.com/2007/07/peasant-blouse.html

Otherwise, I love this top and my second one is a lot better than the first.
Yeah! I may actually be improving

I'm loving this one too!!

Alright, mom and I worked all afternoon and she worked yesterday and I cut out material on Tuesday and here is what we have mostly finished. We still need to do hems on the dresses and add buttons to all outfits.

We jsut have 2 more outfit to finish and we are ready for Disney!

These are all beautiful!

All it needs is a zipper. That will be for tomorrow.

Please excuse DD hair. She just rode 30 minutes with DH in his convertible Jeep! The last photo is my fav because you can see the sleeves and my DD said No more pictures Mommy!

She looks beautiful!!! You did such a wonderful job on this!!

Thanks! I do think they look alike. Must be the blue eyes. I also have a Tessa too. It's my 10yo step-daughter. I think it's such a pretty name.

Oh, that is so neat that you have a Tessa! Tessa was named in honor of me. Brian(dh) pet name for me is Tessie. I was sooo honored when Heather told me she was going to name her that!!

My little baby girl is now a school kid!

Is it weird that I'm crying looking at this picture???? She looks so adorable!!

I have NO idea, but I sure have missed you!!! I think the Ebay stuff has died down pretty much, I mean, our motto is "Copy and Steal Everything" -CASE. I would love to see the outfits!!



OK, I am about to go take pictures of Lydia in her new princess outfit, stay tuned. ................. And, stay happy, becasuse it's a really neat outfit!!

 

[lori123]

I wanted to say 'hi' to all of you since I feel like I know you from reading this massive thread. Your beautiful designs have converted me. I broke out my mom's sewing machine and she and I used it for the first time Tues. This is really the first time I've made anything and it was coming along until the bobbin and I got into a fight and it won. Now it's sitting there waiting for her to come back and fix it this weekend.

I went to JoAnns yesterday and bought more fabric for our Disney trip. Once I get something completed, I'll try to post. And I'll try to respond more but I'm actually at work, and can't read this board all day

I noticed quite a few from Maryland- I live close to Annapolis- so Hi neighbors!

And, we're taking my DD for her 5th b-day on Spet 20- 24 at ASSp. I'm sure I'll see some of the fabulous clothes there!

Truly, this is an inspiring thread and I'm really excited about starting a new hobby

April

Oh, and for the record, I love Harry Potter and Star Wars!

Welcome April! I can't wait to see pics of your creations!

On a separate note - HOLY RUFFLES, BATMAN! I just started working on my first twirl skirt (using the turquoise, lime green scattered mickey head fabric). All I can say is, WOW! That's a LOT of ruffles! I mean, I knew that, but WOW! There's something about when all the strips are sewn together and it makes a HUGE pile of fabric, and you realize "that is ONE tier!" WOW! I'm sure it'll look great (well, as great as it can with me sewing it!). But man, that is a lot of fabric! I'll keep you all posted.

I always think that too - when I am working on ruffles/rows - I tell myself their is NO WAY this is going to fit DD.
