Disboutiquers Part 28 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[miprender]

So Thought I'd throw out some pics of my new fabric's, old patterns, and what I'm doing now on my 6th day of sewing.

Pattern's 1-4

With her belt, how she'll wear it...

Skirt I made from curtain panel I bought at Goodwill, I have two more panels left.

You've been busy sewing up a storm. I know it is quite addictive.
Great find on the patterns. I have some of that dalmation fabric I got off of ebay.

So, I have a QUESTION:

When I'm stitching out a design (or getting ready to) how on earth do you know exactly what color they mean for the next step? And honestly, I know they're "suggested" colors, but sometimes what they're calling for vs what the picture looks like really seem like two different things???

Since my computer is next to my machine, I always bring up a picture of what it will look like. Some designers will even give you a stitch map which I love on the detail designs.

Sometimes it is really hard to see what fabric I should be using never mind which color, but I try to match my tackdown stitches to the color I will use for the satin stitches. I have run into problems before when I didn't do that and the color I didn't want seems to peek out.

Yay! I can finally post pics!!! Thought I'd share some of my first projects:

Matching Mom and Daughter aprons

Easy Fit for DS

Molly Peasant for DD

Snow White inspired Molly peasant

I'll post some more recent projects later

Everything looks great and the easy fit pattern is so great.

This is the shirt that Andrea did for my mom. Allison got one from her pixie dust give and my mom commented about how much she liked it! So I asked Andrea to teach me (for when I ever get my machine!!) I plan to give this to her for her birthday next week!!

Allison loved it. She loved how the blue inside the peace sign matched the shirt! I have to say this picture isn't the best and doesn't show the true colors of the shirt or applique.

Very cute.

Haven't been over here in AGES!!!! Maybe I can get caught up....lol!!

Here are the other 2 short sets I made for the Disney trip.

I love all the new things posted!!

Those are adorable too!

WELL, I finished my 2nd DD's Easter dress tonight. I had wanted to finish it last night, but got too tired, and after tonight I'm REALLY glad I stopped. Although I only had two steps left to finish it off, those last two steps took a while! I had lots of rows of shirring to do, which in and of itself is an easy thing to do, but there were just a lot of rows. The other step was making a buttonhole, and don't you know that this is the 1st project I have ever made one for? SO I had to practice doing that several times on scraps before I tried it on the actual dress.

Wonderful job on shirring and the Easter dress is adorable. Your hobo dress form is too cute

This thread is a dream - I needed a good shirring tutorial and by magic someone posts exactly what I'm looking for! Disney magic maybe?

Started working on a Briar Rose inspired sundress - my first attempt at the Carla C patterns. They are SO easy to use and follow - I'll be getting my money's worth out of that ebook for years with my two girls!! Bodice is done - now all I need is the skirt and provided I get some good quiet/nap time, I can get it finished today! :

Rats - I tested the link and it worked for me - let me try again... I am basically looking for alice patterned fabric that has a vintage look to it. I found a line by quilting treasures and am leaning towards using the alice cameo fabric with the yellow pictures pattern fabric but just wanted to see if there was anything else out there before I bought it... Okay let me see if I can do a link right this time

This is the only line of fabric I have found.

This is a link to the pattern again - it is Simplicity 2325 if it doesn't work again.

http://www.simplicity.com/Search.aspx?SearchTerm=2325

Hope it works this time...

Does anyone else know of any alice in wonderland fabric lines or ideas of where else to look?? Thanks guys.

I don't think you will find anything better than what you have found already. Alice fabric seems limited. I have only seen it once at a fabulous quilting store we have and what I saw was very bright and modern -- not the least bit vintage.

Lovely! I really like the plum fabric you used for the bodice -- it matches so nicely with the print birds.

And your dress form is divine (well, truth be told, its shoulders are a bit too pointy for my taste, but at you have a dress form!).

Since my computer is next to my machine, I always bring up a picture of what it will look like. Some designers will even give you a stitch map which I love on the detail designs.

Sometimes it is really hard to see what fabric I should be using never mind which color, but I try to match my tackdown stitches to the color I will use for the satin stitches. I have run into problems before when I didn't do that and the color I didn't want seems to peek out.

I get the benefit of exercise as I get to run up and down stairs to view my computer -- office is on the first floor and sewing on the second floor. Sometimes I print a color picture of the applique design to have at my side.

I rarely match placement and tackdown stitches to the design. I usually use an odd color thread that I don't foresee getting much use -- I have a minty green that I'm not fond of so that is my color of choice for tackdown. I haven't had any issues yet but if I'm doing a new designer I'll take care not to do that after hearing about your previous issues.

QUESTION
Has anyone tried to reduce HeatherSue's Mickey head applique to get it to be around 3 inches? Amy wants an applique of the Mickey head with an initial in the center for a toiletry bag so we need it smaller than a 4 inch Mickey head since it's for a small bag. I don't think doing the fill and then putting an initial on top of that will work well -- I think that would be too thick.

I am mad because I got a free design for the Mickey heads and didn't download since I had Heather's, but I see theirs has a three inch applique! Grrr!!!!

I know NOTHING about digitizing, so this may not at all be possible. But, wouldn't it just be so much easier if the embroidery machine said lips, hair, skin, instead of pale lavender, golden yellow, and cream brown. Like tell us what part of the applique the machine is about to stitch out, not what color to use. Then, I know exactly what it's doing and can use the color that I want for that particular part.

Just my two cents, but like I said, it may not be possible at all.

Welcome back! I was thinking about your family the other day. I hope everyone is doing well.

We are doing pretty well. Thank you! I spent most of last week in the hospital with pneumonia and extreme adenioditis. Probably wouldn't be such a big deal, but NO ONE wants to treat you when you are pregnant!!! lol!!

ARGH! I'm already behind.. AGAIN! Everything is so precious. I love seeing everything everyone makes!

So, I have a QUESTION:

When I'm stitching out a design (or getting ready to) how on earth do you know exactly what color they mean for the next step? And honestly, I know they're "suggested" colors, but sometimes what they're calling for vs what the picture looks like really seem like two different things???

Sometimes this is really tricky for me too. I have learned to be careful of not only what tack down stitch I use, to make sure it doesn't show through on the next.. Like using white under black.. sometimes it can show through the satin stitch but also the color of fabric I'm satin stitching around. If I use a white on black fabric a lot of times those lil threads will show through or you'll see some of the black fabric from the shirt pull through the white satin stitch... Which probably at the end of the day means I've stabilized wrong but little things like that drive me crazy. And you can't really use fabric markers to touch up when that is the case.

I know NOTHING about digitizing, so this may not at all be possible. But, wouldn't it just be so much easier if the embroidery machine said lips, hair, skin, instead of pale lavender, golden yellow, and cream brown. Like tell us what part of the applique the machine is about to stitch out, not what color to use. Then, I know exactly what it's doing and can use the color that I want for that particular part.

Just my two cents, but like I said, it may not be possible at all.

AMEN! I just did a superman shirt for a little boy fighting cancer and it was a complete embroidery shirt. It was my first all embroidery with no applique and it took me about 15 minutes to figure out which part was being stitched out first. I was so thankful to have my laptop nearby, I had to actually bring it up in SEU. It was a free design but didn't come with instructions...which I can't complain since it was free. That's another good thing about the program it shows you the stitch color, count and if you highlight it it puts a box around the part you've highlighted.

There's such a baby boom here I've been busy making baby gifts and not much Disney. I have a niece coming in May I'm ecstatic about. I can't wait to have a little girl to sew for, I didn't sew/embroider when Hannah was little. I hope we get to go in 2013 for all the new stuff in Fantasyland... I'm a Beauty and the Beast lover so I'm super excited! And I'm having a hard time shopping for my Big Give...with all the Easter stuff out they haven't quite gotten out all the summer fun stuff.

JustPeachyApplique.com is having an amazing sale today too. Spend $15 and get 50% off and all of her designs right now are $1 so you get 15 designs for $7.50.

Andrea- I can try and scale down the mickey head in SEU if you'd like. If it's not too much of a scale down, I think it would be alright. Just let me know and I'll try.

I wish you could do it that way but at least on my program, you can't. I know some designers send out a jpg file with their designs so that you can see how the design is supposed to look. I am still trying to figure out how to do the stitch guide. I never used it because my machine has a large screen that shows you what you are about to stitch so I never needed it. But I can see that some of the machine with the small screens, it might be really confusing to figure out what you are about to stitch out. Also, with my program, depending on what format you need for your machine, sometimes the design gets saved with some crazy colors. Like I just did a Minnie Mouse hat. So it was red, yellow and black right??? Well, when I saved in PES it looked fine but when I saved it as an EXP file, the colors became crazy. They were purple and green and beige. Not at all what you would want a Minnie Mouse hat to look like!!!!

I love your Superman shirt. How nice that you made a shirt for a little guy fighting a big battle!

I understand why you are so excited to sew for your new niece. I didn't sew when my girls were little and so now I sew for my niece all the time. I don't know what i will do when she outgrows liking what I make her. I did just ask my sister in law to make a duct tape model so that I can fit the things I sew properly. I brought over a bunch of things I had sewn when I visited today and several of them are too big My sister in law always tells me that my niece is bigger than she really is!

Love everything posted this week. no sewing this week but we had a wonderful spring break. Went to the zoo, went swimming, went for a hike. This weekend we got lots of yardwork done. Today was in the 80's, we spent most of the day in the yard and at the park. Tomorrow it will snow just in time to go back to school. Yuck, but at least it sounds like a great sewing day.

Your shirt is awesome! It looks really nice and I think Thomas will be very happy Very sweet of you to do that for the child.

Is there a code for Just Peachy? I just signed up to be on the e-mail list so I don't have anything from them but I think I would love to get 15 designs for $7.50!

PA sent out another e-mail that her discount wasn't being deducted so she redid it and tsaid things are 72% off I just ordered form them last week at 50% off.

I may take you up on the offer to downsize a Mickey head but I need to see what size Amy wants -- I tried on my machine and it takes it down to 3.5 inches but I'm thinking around 3 inches would better. She wants it for a toiletry bag and I haven't seen the finished bag in person. Amy is kind of busy right now b/c her dh is out of town, but I'll get ahold of her!

Congrats on the upcoming niece! I wish I had sewn when my kids were little. Even my dd is starting to outgrow certain styles and I'm really limited in what I can do for my son. He'll wear some appliqued t's and any pj's I make, but that's about it.

Our spring break doesn't start until this Friday. We did go to the zoo today though! And my sewing has been pretty non-existent as well due to yard work -- thankfully no snow for us!!! All we had this season was one ittty bitty dusting that melted in about two hours. Usually we get one or two snowfalls, but nothing to speak of this year -- which is more than fine with me!

Here are the other 2 short sets I made for the Disney trip.

I love all the new things posted!!

Love! I love how you used 'non Disney' shorts fabric annd made the outfit super Disney! Nice inspiration....I'm going to make my boys some shorts one of these days.

WELL, I finished my 2nd DD's Easter dress tonight. I had wanted to finish it last night, but got too tired, and after tonight I'm REALLY glad I stopped. Although I only had two steps left to finish it off, those last two steps took a while! I had lots of rows of shirring to do, which in and of itself is an easy thing to do, but there were just a lot of rows. The other step was making a buttonhole, and don't you know that this is the 1st project I have ever made one for? SO I had to practice doing that several times on scraps before I tried it on the actual dress.

Superman! He'll love it, and it looks great! I'm super excited about the Fantasyland update also. We won't be there until 2015, but I can't wait! I grew up in Florida and the East coast so I have lots of fond memories of the World when I was little. I want my kids to have the same. The model they had displayed at the D23 Expo was phenomenal and I can't wait!

At least she can grow into them! Did she get the Hello Kitty Seersucker outfit you made? I've looked at that fabric so much, and loved your outfit. It is the inspiration behind my buying the tutti fruitti fabric.


I'm working the weekend as usual. I've been working on trying to make some roses out of fabric strips to match her Ariel dress for her headband and possibly on the dress. It's fun, but I'm having trouble keeping my strips rolled up. Anyone here ever made them? I'm thinking of basting down the center of the roll. Maybe then it will still fluff out to make petals but stay together?

Snow White inspired Molly peasant

I'll post some more recent projects later

Loved all of your pictures, but this snow white is just precious! How hard was it to modify the peasant into snow white (really it's just doing the sleeves different, isn't it? or am I way off?)???

Super cute!! Where did you get the red mickey fabric?? I haven't seen that anywhere I have looked, is it online??

This is the shirt that Andrea did for my mom. Allison got one from her pixie dust give and my mom commented about how much she liked it! So I asked Andrea to teach me (for when I ever get my machine!!) I plan to give this to her for her birthday next week!!

I've purchased that fabric at Hobby Lobby, Amy.

And I love the Peace Mickey shirt! I just love that design. . . I have an entire outfit of Peace <3 Mickey in my head but no real reason to make it a reality.

If it's a design with a lot of colors I often print a pic of the design so I can best guess what color to use. This is what I love about embroidery library designs -- you get an awesome color chart and it tells you what part of the design you will be stitching - it doesn't match up exactly to Marathon thread, but I can line up all my thread in advance of stitching it. Also, most designers include a jpg file with the designs -- looking at that can help too. You can't go by the color the machine says to use. Apparently there must be a color change between each step so the machine knows it must stop.

OMG! Thank you! I couldn't figure out why it would change colors sometimes even though I knew it shouldn't be!

Rats - I tested the link and it worked for me - let me try again... I am basically looking for alice patterned fabric that has a vintage look to it.

Just Fabrics in Cranston, RI has that Alice line (or she did last time I was in there - Michelle - have you been in lately???) . . . I made my boys shorts out of the yellow scatter and faux tie t-shirts out of the blue Mad Hatter scatter. Anyway, Just Fabrics is awesome and she will ship for you. I don't have her number handy, but she is on Facebook and I originally found her through a Google search. Oh! And her prices ROCK!

Haven't been over here in AGES!!!! Maybe I can get caught up....lol!!

Hey lady! How are you????

I love all the new things posted!!

WHERE did you get that Pirate Print????? LOVE it!

I guess you must have saw my latest big give disaster! I think I will just have my laptop up with the original picture next to the machine the next time. Alternately I can write down the colour sequence from the picture that comes with the embroidery file.

So I'm NOT crazy that I keep the laptop open with a pic of the design???
Sorry to hear your BG item got messed up . . .

Since my computer is next to my machine, I always bring up a picture of what it will look like. Some designers will even give you a stitch map which I love on the detail designs.

Sometimes it is really hard to see what fabric I should be using never mind which color, but I try to match my tackdown stitches to the color I will use for the satin stitches. I have run into problems before when I didn't do that and the color I didn't want seems to peek out.

Good to know! Thanks!!!

I see you came to post about Just Peachy too!

I swear you just read my mind about the tack down stitches, etc.

I LOVE that Superman Shirt!!!! So sweet of you!

You just rock - I hope you know that - you are always willing to help out

Congrats on the niece! I just made a bunch of stuff for a sorority sister who had a baby girl. . .I had way too much fun making panda items (our sorority mascot)!

Is there a code for Just Peachy? I just signed up to be on the e-mail list so I don't have anything from them but I think I would love to get 15 designs for $7.50!

PA sent out another e-mail that her discount wasn't being deducted so she redid it and tsaid things are 72% off I just ordered form them last week at 50% off.

There isn't a code needed for Just Peachy. Just make sure you're logged in when you buy. . .You can actually get more than 15 designs. I got 18 for $9.00!!!

Is a code needed for Planet Applique????

Superman! He'll love it, and it looks great! I'm super excited about the Fantasyland update also. We won't be there until 2015, but I can't wait! I grew up in Florida and the East coast so I have lots of fond memories of the World when I was little. I want my kids to have the same. The model they had displayed at the D23 Expo was phenomenal and I can't wait!

I hope so. I made him a whole busy bag... With chemo and radiation and checking counts there's so much waiting around in hospitals, clinics and PT. It's just not fair for kids to get sick... Hopefully it'll bring a smile.

I feel the same way about my kids. We really did a lot when I was a child, always camping or going some where and my hubby didn't really do that. He's kind of a homebody but once I get him out of the house he really enjoys it.

Your shirt is awesome! It looks really nice and I think Thomas will be very happy Very sweet of you to do that for the child.

I may take you up on the offer to downsize a Mickey head but I need to see what size Amy wants -- I tried on my machine and it takes it down to 3.5 inches but I'm thinking around 3 inches would better. She wants it for a toiletry bag and I haven't seen the finished bag in person. Amy is kind of busy right now b/c her dh is out of town, but I'll get ahold of her!

Congrats on the upcoming niece! I wish I had sewn when my kids were little. Even my dd is starting to outgrow certain styles and I'm really limited in what I can do for my son. He'll wear some appliqued t's and any pj's I make, but that's about it.


Our spring break doesn't start until this Friday. We did go to the zoo today though! And my sewing has been pretty non-existent as well due to yard work -- thankfully no snow for us!!! All we had this season was one ittty bitty dusting that melted in about two hours. Usually we get one or two snowfalls, but nothing to speak of this year -- which is more than fine with me!

You just have to put $15 or more in your cart and it automatically takes it off at JustPeachy.

I love PA too, I love the little touches she puts on her designs.


Thanks for the compliments on my shirt and thanks everyone for the congrats on the niece. I'm so excited because other than me and my daughter, we have boys everywhere. Plus, this is my brother who lost my nephew Hunter to cancer so I think it's going to be really good for him to have a girl and a new start. But they can't agree on a name and I'M! getting anxious to get things made.

Our spring break starts this week and I've gone temporarily insane and letting my daughter have a spend the night party with the 6 girls in her class Friday.

Are the disboards so slow for anyone else? I'm thinking it's my netbook but they have been taking me forever! to load.

Thank you to all you enablers!
I just bought a ton of appliques from both sites with sales today. I do need to add to my library, but now I just depleted my paypal account that I had just built up destashing some fabrics.
I am so excited about how much you all helped me save! Thank you. I was able to get so many more!

No code needed that I know of -- didn't say anything in the e-mail -- I think it just gets automatically deducted.
