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

[BabyRapunzel]

OK. I just saved each file as it was sent to me. I take it that's not what I was supposed to do. I know this sounds stupid, but how can I see which format to choose. Is that where unzipping comes in? I never could figure that out, but it looks like I need to now!

Sorry for the bone-head questions. I'm full of 'em when it comes to technology!

Lori in East Podunk

No problems. I have my questions with sewing, computers are easy for me.

I think you click extract files at the top. It should then open the files and you'll see different sizes and different versions. So choose one that is the right size and choose one that says PES at the end.

If you still have trouble let me know. I'm not in front of my computer with my files, so maybe tonight I can explain it better.

Can't wait to see your designs!

Ok so I'm in Edmonton Alberta Canada and I'm having the worst time finding "Disney" fabric... Where are you girls getting all the poka dots from and the print fabric I can find some print fabric here at fabricland on and off what does come in goes fast and is often costly. The poka dots are no where to be seen. Buying online just seems so risky to me... Tell me how you do it

Can't speak for anyone else but I get mine here: http://www.joann.com/fabric/quilting-fabric-kits/keepsake-calico-fabric/
I live within 20 min of 2 Joanns so I go in person but I have also ordered stuff online with no issues. I have also ordered from fabric.com with no problems. I love that polkadot in the keepsake quilting material at joanns tho..used it for a ton of stuff. They also have plenty of character fabric online. Hope that helps!

I end up buying online, or when I visit the US. I see someone posted the link to Joann for you. Last time I checked they did not ship to Canada. OMG, I JUST CHECKED AND THEY NOW SHIP TO CANADA. I AM SOOO EXCITED.

I have on rare occasion found character prints at quilt shops, and my local Fabricland only ever has Winnie the Pooh.

I will go have a look at the link I'm wondering if the cost with shipping is going to make the fabric too pricey fabric already cost so much

Ok so I had a look at the web site got all excited then found that a lot the licensed prints, sale items I was looking at won't ship to Canada...

 

[tricia]

Yep, Bubble burst. They don't ship Disney licensed stuff to Canada, just the super hero stuff.

Wanted to share my next completed Disney trip project. I used a simplicity pattern and modified it to add some Rapunzel touches! I also made the veil by edging it and attaching it to the crown. This one took lots of work, but I feel pretty good about the results! My DD absolutely loves it and has been wearing it alot! So I guess the work was worth it! This is my version of the Rapunzel wedding dress.

 

[sewmess]

This is my first attempt at applique:

alien tea wallet by qpr_ra, on Flickr[/IMG]

It's on the cover of a tea-wallet for a co-worker who loves tea, aliens and had lent me a couple of books.

Not too bad for a first attempt, if I do say so myself.

This picture brought to you by the helpful hints of:

I had the same problem from flickr. When you click share, there is a radio button that says BBCode (vs html) make sure you click that, then it will post.

Thank you, goteamwood!!

I was ready to get to Disney appliqueing (is that a word?) but my AC went out Wednesday and it was too darn hot to iron anything. We got it fixed (in good time and for a great price!) and I'm off this weekend. If I can keep DH occupied elsewhere, I'm going to sew up a storm!! Thank the Lord for the Olympics.

 

[Disney52303]

Everything on here has been so beautiful to look at!! Great job!! Thought I would share the first of many Disney trip outfits to come for our next trip!! This is my DD's requested Octonauts outfit! My DD wasn't too keen on taking many pictures so only was able to snap a couple!

There are different Octonauts around the skirt totaling 6 and one on the top.

Thanks for looking!!

My HUSBAND loves this lol. He saw this photo last night and mentioned it to me today at lunch!

I just have to say if I had never stumbled upon this thread, I would not have even considered my now-beloved PE-770. I have been working this week on this baby quilt for a friend's new daughter, and last night discovered that I can buy and download, for less than $1, quilting square patterns. CHANGED MY LIFE, not kidding. I "quilted" this in under an hour, most of the time was changing out the stabilizer and hoop. So amazing. I need to get a backing and intend to do a little more machine quilting on it, but so far I am loving it.




I am also hoping to get a handful of shirts made for my 5 year old nephew, he starts Kindergarten next week (eek!) and is insanely jealous of all the cute shirts his cousins are getting for our Disney trip. My brother is planning to take him to Disneyland for spring break (we have family in CA) so I might just have to tag along for that with my (no longer under-3 by then) duo. And of course, new clothes!

I bookmarked that page, your quilting idea is great!!!

darn them. If there is something you really wanted *I* ship to canada....I have sent stuff to a friend in Calgary before that she couldnt get there...back when I did a lot of polymer clay stuff. If you need something I'd be happy to do the same for any of you

My dad came over today and re-wired my vintage singer, so she is now useable!!!! He was kind of laughing at my instance to rewire her, but when he pulled the motor apart the insulation on the wires literally crumbled and it was bare wires EVERYWHERE! thank goodness I never used her!

I cant wait till the little ones go to bed so I can give her a try

Those are so adorable! I love both of them!

I made the quilt by sort of modifying a 4-square pattern I got when I took a quilting class in January. It is an easy pattern, I just mixed up the fabrics a little. I made the 4-squares from 4 colors, two of one color palate and 2 of the other, then mixed in solid blocks. On the solid brown blocks I added the little elephants from LynniePinnie, which I used scraps from other fabrics in the quilt. I did those appliques on the blocks before I assembled it. The quilting files I found on emblibrary.com, they were SUPER cheap, like $1 each but since I got 6 they knocked 25% off, so they were 75¢ each. I actually downloaded a couple nautical ones for a couple of pirate quilts I am making for my boys' big-boy room. They are pretty basic (though they have some that were more complex) but they are single-thread, single run. Because my quilt squares are 6 inches, the 5x5 ones fit perfectly. I only have 5x7 hoop, so it has to be little chunks. I put the top on the batting with spray adhesive and no backing, basically did the blocks in the friendship pattern one at a time and then put the backing on, did a couple stitch in the ditch lines around the border and bound it up. Here is the final thing. I think it turned out super cute. I hope the intended recipient thinks so too.

The quilt is beautiful! I love how you did it and thanks for the advice. I'd love to try one sometime soon. I've been saving fabric scraps for a while to make a crazy quilt where you do the patches in the hoop but her patches are super expensive. I think I'd try this first to see how it goes.

QUESTION

Ok so I'm in Edmonton Alberta Canada and I'm having the worst time finding "Disney" fabric... Where are you girls getting all the poka dots from and the print fabric I can find some print fabric here at fabricland on and off what does come in goes fast and is often costly. The poka dots are no where to be seen. Buying online just seems so risky to me... Tell me how you do it

I think a lot of people have a friend in the US purchase the fabric for them and ship it. Fabric.com is pretty dependable and I've never had trouble with fabric that I've purchase on Etsy. Although I did have trouble when I ordered some hardware for a bag on Etsy.

Question:I bought some applique designs from several vendors and loaded them on a brand new usb stick. Then I checked to make sure they really were there. When I try to use one on my PE770 following the manual, all I get on the little screen is a picture of two file folders. One says EMBROI~1 and the other says EMBROI~2. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

I see others have already answered your question. I hope you got it all worked out.

Yep, Bubble burst. They don't ship Disney licensed stuff to Canada, just the super hero stuff.

What a shame!

Looks great !!! I have not tried anything in a silky material yet. I can't wait but it's not anywhere near the top of my list of things I want to make.

I did it! I extracted a file, put it on a stick, loaded it on Minerva and stitched that Bad Boy out! I have brain cramps from techno-overload, but I did it!

Next I will master the wilds of Photobucket! Just you wait and see!

Thanks for the help, fellow Dis-ers!

TMTQ - just wanted to say hello from WDW...we are having a fabulous time and I got a lot of compliments on my customs and some really cute pictures! I have gotten over 250 pictures on my Photopass+ so far - including every ride photo possible - definitely getting my money's worth. I ran into Sunshine again in Epcot yesterday and recognized those cute Donald/Daisy themed skirts.

Here at AoA, the Lion King section opened today. I walked around and got pics yesterday.

*waves* Sounds like so much fun, how awesome to run into another person from here at the park. These threads are so busy that I wondered if there would be a lot of custom clothes on DW kiddos. I can't wait to go for the first time in just a few weeks!

 

[OhStuffandFluff]

OH my gosh so cute!!! You did a great job!!! Where did the crown come from may I ask? I love this!

Thanks for the compliment! I was so lucky to find this crown on super cheap clearance at Target a couple of weeks ago!! It even lights up!! It will look great at night at Disney!!

Congrats on your launch sales! That's wonderful! I absolutely love the Star Wars outfit! Anything thats typically boy themed and executed with ruffles or twirl...yup I love it!

I did it! I extracted a file, put it on a stick, loaded it on Minerva and stitched that Bad Boy out! I have brain cramps from techno-overload, but I did it!

I purchased a t-shirt from someone on etsy...the shirt is way too small for my sister who is a womans 2X....it has "bling" on the front of it. I am going to try and salvage it by taking the design off the t-shirt (cutting it off as a square or circle) and sewing it on to the back of a light cotton jacket that I bought that will fit her.
Has anyone done this and do you have any tips to help me make it as nice as possible. I paid about 50$ for the t-shirt....so I don't want to ruin it by making any mistakes.
The directions that came with the shirt, say not to iron near the "bling design", so I'm hesitant to use wonderunder or anything like that to keep it in place.
I so hope someone out there can give me some good advice....I'm really at a loss here what to do!
I love all your designs...and all the time and effort that you put into the things that you create.
I hope someone can help me save this shirt!! Thanks in Advance!!
