Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes Part 5

Are you sure it's wrong? With our machines, we have to unscrew the bottom part of the shank, and then screw the ruffler foot on. Is there a screw about halfway up the shank on your machine where you can take part of it off? I don't know that I've ever heard of a snap on ruffler foot.

Snap-on ruffler feet do exist. I have one I bought on this summer.

MAYBE, just MAYBE, IF you look up your machine's "needle arm" a bit above the snap-on foot part, you MIGHT see that the snap-on foot part is actually a screw-on attachment ... (actually, it's called a SHANK", but I call it needle arm, makes more sense to me)
IF this is the case, this is where you'd unscrew it & replace it with the ruffler foot. Of course, make sure not to loose that snap-on foot attachment (like I did once) ...
Most machines that have snap-on feet have this attachment, and it screws off & on like normal feet attachments do ...
The really important part is, BEFORE you try to sew with it, and after you have the ruffler foot on the needle arm = make sure that the needle passed through the ruffler foot, by slowly turning the hand wheel (on the right), and watch where the needle goes This will help you figure out if it's a low-shank or not ...
There's usually two types of feet attachments = LOW Shank or HIGH Shank ... One taller from bottom to screw-on attachment than the other ... the most popular one is the low shank, nowadays ...

Thank you for this. I have a Singer (which I LOVE) from Target and it has a snap-on foot. I just looked at it a bit more closely, I see the screw but for the life of me I don't know if it is a low shank or not. Oh well.

well , i have been very un productive sat i got hooked on a book i have been meaning to read for awhile but couldn't remember what it was called
went to a party with wendy on thurs night and her neighbor pulled it out and i did the happy dance inside... she gave the 1st one to wendy and i bought mine at wal-mart ,anyways i started to read it on sat and finished it at 1 a.m. sunday morning. i just could not put it down now on to the next one (hopefully today) but while i am waiting i will be sewing Jayedyn a winter dress and yes she had to choose a difficult one and had to have the fabric just perfect so i cut up a pattern and we will see what it looks like when i am done ...

I am a librarian and I work in a high school library. That series is very popular with young adults right now. It is on my list to read however my list is very, very long.

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. I've been under the weather (take a look at my new add on to my signature and you'll see why!) and way behind now. Looks like everything that everyone has done has been beautiful as usual. This board moves so fast! Hope everyone is having a fantastic Christmas season. I think I ought to be on more now, all of my company has left and I ought to have a little more time now to myself. Talk to everyone soon!

CONGRATS to you and your family on the new addition.

 

[Stephres]

i like that i may have to case that ..

I CASEd it from someone here (I'm sorry I can't remember who) so feel free!

what else could it be ? i was sitting here trying to figure it out . Anyways, it looks great what a great idea.

Well I started with the drawing Aimee made (on the photobucket acct) and tweaked it at little. I was afraid I did too much tweaking and no one would be able to tell it was supposed to be a santa hat! Thanks!

Lori

Noooooo! I am not ready for that yet! I did see some new valentine fabric at JoAnn's but didn't stop to look. That is adorable, as usual.

Playing with the mickey head shirt put me behind. We are going to the Nutcracker Saturday and I wanted to make a pretty dress for Megan. I have already bought the fabric and am running up to JoAnn's to buy the zipper and thread.

I finally got a look at my photopass pics. They got a couple of shots of otufits that I didn't have good pics of & besides you acn never have too many Disney pics, right?

Me & Minnie. I made my top, it was a pain & I never was completely satisfied witht he way it fit, but it worked for the day & I may tweak it a bit more in the spring.

June inspectingdd4's Little Einsteins dress with June on it. June, the handler & the photographer all loved that dress. They made the biggest fuss over dd4 & completely made her forget that she was going to be shy around the characters.

I've been engrossed in the BEST book! Sorry if I was MIA. I think my imaginary friends would love this gem:

"Twilight" by Stephanie Meyer.

It hooks you on the first page! It's equal parts romance and suspense with a 17 year old young lady who's in love with a vampire who was born in 1912 and is forever 17. It written uncommonly well. I don't think I put it down for longer than it takes to eat or pee all day yesterday, saving the last chapter for today. I seriously can't wait to sink my teeth into the next in the series! I like it much better than anything written by Anne Rice.


Now I need to catch up with this thread!

 

[agentpleakley]

Stephres I love your Mickey Christmas tee shirt. I may have to CASE that - if I have enough time.

QUESTION Has anyone worked with the fake fur -- I bought some b/c DD wants me to make her a winter cape for her aurora costume(bought not made). I have the pink velvet for the cape but wanted to put the fur trim on the hood and on the edges. It has a thick back to it -- not sure as to how to do this -- or if my machine will even get through it. It was quite expensive $24.99 a yard -- so I hate to mess it up. TIA!

My princess is sick Not looking too pretty today! She loves it though and she said "Daddy, that is sooooo pretty!" Made me smile.

OK ladies and gent . . .

So sorry to have been MIA lately - between working 2 extra shifts last week for some spending and Christmas moolah, and sewing like a MAD woman, I haven't had time to keep up here. We leave Saturday and I'm nowhere near ready. ACK!

So, here's what I need opinions on. . . is the star and Tink too much? I thought it looked a little plain without, but can't decide if I like it or not. Or any other ideas? Let me know what you all think!!
