Disboutiquers Part 7 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[SallyfromDE]

Anyone here has any experience with the Brother 1034D serger - (it's this one from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Brother-1034D...1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1216987696&sr=8-1)

DH said last night that I can buy one...so I am shopping around.

THanks!

I have that one. I had a little trouble at first trying to get the tension right. But finally figured out my mistake. I haven't had to change the thread yet tho'. But I like it.

Okay- I have got to figure out how to make my qoute pictures smaller. Anywho, I just finished my newest outfit. I am very proud of it.

Twirl factor

This is really wonderful!

Good news! The arm is not broken. But the doctor said that there is a lot of swelling on his elbow and that Monday we will be doing another x-ray after a weekend of motrin and ice packs. So, Monday we will go back again.

My little boy, Kyler, is 6 tomorrow!!! I cannot believe it has been six years since he was born. Happy Birthday to your sweet baby. I also love his outfit. It is hard to do things for boys but I really like that one!! The fabric is perfect and good job on the Mickey head appilque.

Happy Early Bday to Kyler! Great name! Mine is Kyle!
I think I got that fabric at hancock...

Great color combo! It came out really really cute!

Okay, so my first shirred dress. How do you guts pronounce that? I say sheered, but I wonder if it's shirred, like shirt with out the "t".

And here are a couple of pics of a bag I made from a pattern on YCMT...

A peek of the inside...

I know none of this is Disney, but the dress was "practice" on fabric I didn't care about. Didn't want to ruin my good Disney fabric!

Thanks to all of you awesome Disboutiquers, I have started sewing again. This dress and bag, and two more dresses complete, just waiting for my model to get back from her grandparent's house for pics!

Great job with the shirring! Love the bag I may have to check that one out!

I should have said that the update I just posted to my TR is the day we meet Chantelle, Disney 4 Me!

I know a really good applique tutorial that explains exactly how to do this, step by step...


about Grandma! Yes, she's doing great, but she won't admit it!

Need to read the latest TR.
I did check out the Tutorial but I am SO bad at fallowing direction! I have to just do it! So feel free to take the drive over to Chicago and show me 1st hand because I am so BAD at fallowing directions!
glad to hear your Grandma is doing better!

 

[princesskayla]

I love, love, love this set!!! What pattern did you use for the skirt?

I used YCMT layered tulle skirt. The construction was very easy and it didn't take much material. However, it was kind of complicated to get the bottom layers ruffled and attached to the drop waist. I just sewed and prayed!!!

Good news! The arm is not broken. But the doctor said that there is a lot of swelling on his elbow and that Monday we will be doing another x-ray after a weekend of motrin and ice packs. So, Monday we will go back again.

Glad to hear that. Aren't you relieved to get it checked out than to worry about it all weekend!!

 

[princesskayla]

Oh - I forgot to add....

I paid off my Disney trip today!!!

Wilderness Lodge here I come - with plenty of Disney customs in tow!!!

 

[princesskayla]

Happy Early Bday to Kyler! Great name! Mine is Kyle!
I think I got that fabric at hancock...

That's funny. Their birthdays are one day apart and their names are one letter apart. Great minds think alike!!

 

[MouseTriper]

Nothing fancy, but I trimmed the sleeves with fur and also used it on the hat. During the parade Mrs. Claus looked right at my DD and said "I love your shirt" DD was thrilled about that.

Ohh that is cute!!! How sweet that Mrs. Claus commented on it.

I hardley ever get on this thread anymore due to my inability to do anything creative and I am very jealous of all your talents! LOL
Anywho- I just wanted to give a HUGE thank you to all that participated in "THE BIG GIVE" to my dear friend Alicia (and Isabelle). You guys are truely amazing and I think what you have done for her family is wonderful.
Just wanted to let you know that you and your creations are appreciated.

Aww thank you!!!!! Hey, Alicia sure had fun up at your house!!! It looked like you guys were having so much fun. Oh and those fried green tomatoes and fried zuccini looked YUMMY......!!!!!!!

Yes, that would be cute!

And a sweatshirt with a Christmas tree and mickey head button ornaments is cute too!

Oh yeah, I remember these Steph...so cute!!!

Here is my creation of the day.

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement!

Patterns are on sale at Hobby Lobby for $1.99 so I bought a few today. We will see if I can figure them out!

Oh that is so cute!!!!

I learned to surf off Manhattan and Redondo Beaches. (My brothers are all older and surfing was their version of babysitting LOL)

Ohhh I miss Manhattan Beach so much!!! I grew up there and lived at the beach EVERYDAY just about!!! Did you ever eat at El Sombero on Manhattan Ave?? The BEST Mexican food ever!!!!! I am so homesick!!!! I miss the ocean!!

YES! YES I DID!!!

I hope to see you on your next Michgan trip though!!

Thanks Teresa, definitely!!! I already wanna go back!!! LOL

Like I said, I've had a pretty stressful week, but something AMAZING happened today!!!!!!!!

How awesome is that....I started singing the same song your sister did..."the cat came back....the very next day"...hahahahah!!!

Okay- I have got to figure out how to make my qoute pictures smaller. Anywho, I just finished my newest outfit. I am very proud of it.

That is so cute!! I love the color combination.

I hestiated to share this but, I thought I would, partly to explain what's going on with me this week, and maybe to warn any parents out there! I was on Myspace (not a place I go to often, but a friend sent me a message) and happened to check out my 16 year old neices' page. I was SHOCKED to say the least!!! She had VERY suggestive pictures of herself up with some really crude comments from older guys. The whole site was just an attempt to get male attention. And, Heather told me that the title of her site meant something bad, and when I looked it up on one of those slang dictionaries, it really was horrible! I called her Dad (hubby's brother), and he looked at it and was upset. I thought they were going to have her delete her page, but as of today, it was still there. I'm worried sick about my neice and what she might be getting herself into!

I have a cousin that is doing the same thing with her MySpace page and my neice is the one helping her set it up. They are both only 13!!

Good news! The arm is not broken. But the doctor said that there is a lot of swelling on his elbow and that Monday we will be doing another x-ray after a weekend of motrin and ice packs. So, Monday we will go back again.

That is wonderful news!!!

 

[princesskayla]

Does any one know a current YCMT coupon? How do you get those coupon codes?

 

[jenga1030]

princesskayla,

My kids and I were looking at your cute clothes and your neighborhood looks exactly like ours! Then we checked and you are in Georgia! You must not be far from us!

 

[billwendy]

HI ,

I think a while ago someone had posted some jeans that they had maybe cut off under the knee and then sewn a stripwork pant leg onto? Im thinking of doing this for eliz, but would love to see it again (cant find it in our photobucket acct) and know to measure for it....thanks!!

 

[mytwotinks]

Are Denise and I the only ones in the KC area? If there are any others or for any of you lurkers are from KC - Missouri Sewing Machine is having a Christmas in July Sale through tomorrow - I haven't been to check it out yet, but it sounds like a good one! I think 40% off cabinets and lots of other stuff on sale, too!

Cool! I'll have to remember that for next July. It's not going to happen this year!

Great job! Love the fabrics and matching flip flops!

Cute dress and I love your bag!

Probably not...I tried to fly to Vegas this February and got snowed out. I'm afraid to tell DD that we are going to Disney and then having to cancel cuz of snow...plus I'd love an adult weekend. My DH works nights so I'm like a single mom during the week. I don't get very much "adult" time.


But hey, if I don't bring my child...I can help out with yours!!!

I'm hoping I won't need help with an almost 10yo. Leaving the others at home with DH. BUT....it would be fun to have a friend on the trip!

How scary!

Hello! I have been a long time "window shopper"
I started sewing about the same time I began planning our October Disney trip so I naturally became addicted to this forum! I have learned so much from all of you and have gotten lots of great inspiration (and also making me aware of YCMT- what a great place!!!). I am basically making all my 2 year olds clothes these days and she is even going to have to change during the day to wear all of the outfits I have planned for our trip
So thanks for getting me hooked on such a great hobby!

I recently upgraded to an Embroidery Machine with the design software. I was wondering a site where you guys get so many of these Disney machine applique designs? I realize that you may need to PM this "sensitive" info

Thanks!
MtnMomma

Welcome! I don't have an Embroidery Machine. Hope you'll post some photos of your creations.

Good news! The arm is not broken. But the doctor said that there is a lot of swelling on his elbow and that Monday we will be doing another x-ray after a weekend of motrin and ice packs. So, Monday we will go back again.

Glad there's not break! Hope the motrin & ice help the swelling go down.

princesskayla,

My kids and I were looking at your cute clothes and your neighborhood looks exactly like ours! Then we checked and you are in Georgia! You must not be far from us!

I may have already asked you ladies this but where in Georgia are you located? I am in the Sandy Springs/Roswell area.

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Hi ladies. I know this is off topic but I also know that there are some dieting ladies on here. I don't know if you subscribe to Hungry Girl but there were some fun sundae ideas on there today. Here you go:

Gimme S'more Sundae

PER SERVING (entire sundae): 175 calories, 2g fat, 109mg sodium, 38.5g carbs, 4g fiber, 24g sugars, 3.5g protein -- POINTS® value 3*

S'mores and ice cream?!? Prepare yourself for chocolatey graham-tastic marshmallow mania!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Breyers Double Churn Free French Chocolate fat-free ice cream
2 tbsp. Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme (only 1 tbsp. will actually end up on your sundae), room temperature
2 low-fat honey graham crackers (half a sheet), lightly crushed
1 tsp. min i semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 tbsp. Fat Free Reddi-wip

Directions:
Place ice cream in a dessert bowl. Set aside. Carefully place marshmallow creme into one of the bottom corners of a Ziploc baggie. Use scissors to snip a tiny hole from the outside end of that corner, and squeeze 1 tbsp. of the creme (the rest will stick to the bag!) over your ice cream in a drizzle. Then top with the graham cracker pieces and chocolate chips. Finish it all off with a generous squirt of the Reddi-wip. Enjoy!

MAKES 1 SERVING

HG Tip! If your marshmallow creme is less-than-fresh or fridge temperature, warm creme in the microwave for about 10 - 15 seconds (just long enough to soften it).





Pumpkin Pie Sundae

PER SERVING (entire sundae): 136 calories, 1g fat, 98mg sodium, 30g carbs, 3.5g fiber, 16.5g sugars, 3.5g protein -- POINTS® value 2*

It's no-guilt frozen pumpkin pie in a bowl... WOOHOO!

1 tbsp. canned pure pumpkin
1/8 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
2 low-fat honey graham crackers (half a sheet), lightly crushed
4 tbsp. Fat Free Reddi-wip

Directions:
Place ice cream in a small dessert bowl, and allow it to thaw just slightly (a few minutes). Then stir in the pump kin and pumpkin pie spice until thoroughly mixed. Place bowl in the freezer for 30 minutes to allow the ice cream to firm up. Then top with the Redd-wip, followed by the crushed graham crackers. Enjoy!

Then, use a fork to break it up and crumble into brownie bits (use your fingers, too -- just make sure your hands are clean!). Place ice cream in a dessert dish, and top with brownie bits. Set aside.

Place chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe dish, and cover with syrup. Microwave for 45 seconds, and then mix well. Pour sauce over the brownie bits and ice cream. Dig in!!!

I am in Gainesville, not too far from your area!

I may have already asked you ladies this but where in Georgia are you located? I am in the Sandy Springs/Roswell area.

I am in Cumming. We might need to plan an Atlanta area mini Disboutiquers meeting!!

I've been in a funk the last couple of days - we've had the wettest summer in a while and I suffer from seasonal affective disorder, so not only do the winters suck, but this summer has been awful too.
So I went out with the kids today, I really felt awful not bringing them to the playground, but I need to have my eyebrows done. (FYI I have them threaded) So I went to a grocery store that I don't have in my town (Longo's for you GTA'ers out there) and I found the dark chocolate peanut butter that you have all been raving about! I didn't think that I would find it in Canada - and DING-DONG that stuff is good. Not completely mood altering, but five-dancing-banana good!
I have a fun-filled day with the in-laws tomorrow (there is sarcasm dripping from every word there), and I think that DH maybe feels guilty that we have to go up there, so I may be able to head over to the USA for some fabric shopping on Sunday. (My friends all say that I win the cr@ppy in-laws prize)
OK rant over. I will now eat a spoonful of heaven . . .
