Disboutiquers Part 12 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[2cutekidz]

I got a quick question for those that have done a rag quilt. What size squares do you do them with, and how many squares do you use? I want to make a couple for my cousin who's having a baby, and one for a co-worker who is having a baby also. I checked out the tutorial on it and knwo I can handle it but just need the basis to get started. Also, what type of fabric did everyone use. I see that they say flannel but I think I have seen a couple that aren't. TIA!!!

Krissy, I made 6 rag quilts for Christmas last year. I used 10 inch pre cut quilting cotton squares for the top and flannel for the back. Most of them I just made using the 2 layers, but I did 2 of them using a third layer in the middle of flannel. I liked the weight better of the ones with 3 layers, but for a baby the 2 layers might be good. My DD's is 2 layers and she loves hers. They siill frayed ALOT! Make sure you empty out the lint trap in the dryer halfway through the drying cycle. You'll be surprised by how full it gets!

This one was before I washed it.

Here's the one I made for my SIL. (Isn't my neice a little doll?!)

Ah, I'm loving the puppy photos. Zoe keeps asking for one and it's tempting but I just don't see it happening.

So, I'm trying something a little new - applique on towels... or parts of towels cut to become pants later. It's going pretty well although I had to use a different kind of stabilizer (the kind that dissolves in water). I have to pin it in place which is a definite safety issue for me. LOL I have a question for those who've appliqued and/or embroidered on towels. How do you get all the stabilizer off without washing the garment? In the photos above, the stabilizer is still over Mickey but I've pulled off as much as possible from the areas. However, I can still see smalls pieces that I can't grab.

Here's one pant leg I got done:

Lisa that is so cute! Did you paint some of the fabric too?

My DH spends time with D when he is there for therapy - and little brother does get extra attention and time, but because of his special cognitive issues, he just doesnt comprehend what is different and how to cope with it at all....they also have a 9 year old (adopted) son who has special needs as well (alcohol exposure, possibly Asbergers Syndrome, ADD) who is coping a bit better - they are quite a pair!!! Its difficult because not a lot of people volunteer to babysit them - they are a destructive handful at times - other times they are as good as gold!!!!

That is a rough one. I hope Daniel's brother can get some understanding from some where. I It has to be so hard. Hopefully daniel will e better and strong soon and this will all just be a memory

Howdy all! I have not been around for a few months. I look but do not contribute. Mainly because I have not sewn any cloths since or trip in Sept. I need to start thinking about our trip for this coming Sept though! Everyones work is amazing and it is so inspiring! After this baby is born and I have a few weeks to get into a groove, I hope to start with cloths again. Lately I have been spending all my sewing time on purses and daiper bag.

This is what I have made for this baby so far: a diaper bag, nursing cover, and wipe holder/ changing pad. I still need to make some burp cloths and a tag blanket. I think I am going to case the one a few pages back and quilt all my fabrics together.

Here are some purses I have made as gifts for the ladies who are hosting a baby shower for me.

And lastly, here is a baby shower present I made for a friend. There was a matching nursing cover as well.

I look forward to getting back into this thread and learning from you all!

Those are great!

Max is adorable! And he looks an awful lot like our baby! Who still thinks she is a lapdog even though she is huge! The kids just adore her and she is a great dog, but yes, there has been a lot of peeing and chewing...

What a cute picture!

Lisa that is adorable! I can't wait to see the other leg and it all put together!

I'm pretty darn sick today (cold type crud), and slept all afternoon,
and don't feel like typing it up right now,
but since I had forgotten all about Mrs. Heather and the Squirrel
until she mentioned it
I will have to let you all in on it later!

Feel better!

I made my sq 8x8 and used a double layer of flannel


We are still having internet issues Have I mentioned i hate At&T! After waiting 7 hours yesterday for a tech when my window was supposed to be 4 hour it still isn't right! Thursday a line crew was supposed to be out and this tech says he saw the ticket but can't see why no one came out. So he pushed another ticket through and said he would fallow up. So we shall see but so far I don't recommend At & t to ANY ONE!

These are awesome! I just had a baby... guess I can expect one of your beautiful creations any day now! Did you create your own pattern for the wipe holder? There are 2 pregos on my street due soon and I would love to make something for them.

I found both the wipe holder tutorials online. The pink one is vey easy, the blue one was a little confusing to me. And the pink on is a changing pad as well! For the pink one, basically cut a fabric and a terry cloth or chennile to 35X13. Sew them together facing each other with an opening, turn it out. Iron and sew around the edge. On one end, fold the fabric in enough that a wipe holder and some diapers can fit. Sew up the sides. Roll it up with the wipes in it and sew velcro in the appropriate place. You could attach ribbon to tie it together as well. It was so quick and easy!

I really want to find out who the designer or name of this fabric is...I MUST have it....Is there anyone out there who can help me

I would also like to know if anyone has any of this fabric lying around they want to get rid off...or if they know where I can get some. I am looking for the stripe coordinate...I already have plenty of the dot.

sorry it is so little...not sure what I did!

I can't help you find it, but I LOVE this fabric!!!!

Thanks Leslie!! I do like the idea of only using two layers. I think I'll do the two layer one for my coworker here. My cousin is in upstate New York so I will definately do the 3 layer one for here. She is such a cutie. I think she knows it too

WOW! You guys have been busy! You guys never cease to amaze me with all of your talent! I have also been busy, so not around much! I have been able to get a few things finished, but no pics yet! This is why we have been busy:

We rescued him from our local humane society! My dh and I have always said NO ANIMALS!!!!!! Never say never! We have become as attached to him as the kids!LOL He is a very sweet dog and he LOVES Sydni! He follows her EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!

SOOOOOO CUTE!

I would also like to know if anyone has any of this fabric lying around they want to get rid off...or if they know where I can get some. I am looking for the stripe coordinate...I already have plenty of the dot.

sorry it is so little...not sure what I did!

Wait! You have plenty of this!!!! Share! NOW! JK, seriously where did you get it? I have been looking forever, and I can't seem to win any on

Can you make the picture bigger? I might have a bit of it - bought it at Joann's the same time as the dot.....not positive though.....

Here's the 2nd dress I've made (I made the bows too):

It has lots of errors in it, but it's good enough & she loves it. I definitely need to have my machine serviced & ruffler foot fixed before I can do anything else. Maybe I just need a new machine! I figured I needed to do a few outfits before I insisted I needed a new machine, but I would love to have one that embroiders Disney characters!

Hi Everyone,

Some Great news about Daniel!! Things are going well raising money for the dr bills and stuff!! and guess what? they reached the goal of raising $10, 000 and now are going to try for $15, 000!!! The benefit isnt for a few weeks yet, so Im really hoping it will come together - really, it will help them soooo much, they re really fallling behind with regular every day stuff as well. I guess you dont think about how the gas, quick trips to the cafeteria, cups of coffee, copays for medication etc all add up very very quickly!!!

The other good thing is that his Dad was called back to work!! YAY!!!! This will help too! I really see God's hand in this - Daniels Dad was laid off EXACTLY the amount of time needed for him to do all the radiation treatments!! How cool is that!!

Thanks again to those who have made things to help Daniel and go up for the silent auction!!! EVERYTHING helps!!!

Thanks friends, Wendy

That is great news!!!!

How cute is he?????

BTW, your daughter's hair is GORGEOUS!

Oh I am so jealous of people who can make bags. I spend a fortune each season having a new work bag made. Great job!!!

Maybe try someof that pre-shirred fabric and make a shirt with ribbon ties? I have a DD8 and it's something she would like. Not too babyish you know?

I have a Brother computerized machine also and it is easy to use and works well for me!

Great suggested on the pre-shirred. That's how I started. Super easy.

Here are the kids Disney on ice outfits:

Super cute stuff. I got off easy for Disney on Ice. We saw World's of Fantasy so Aisling got to wear an outfit from our trip!!!!

What pattern did you use? I need to try sleeves and I love the peasant type sleeves. Very cute! I have some minnie dots fabric I would love to make a dress like this for disney in Spet.

I used carla c's portrait peasant hemmed dress with the short sleeves. I am not ready to handle all the ruffles yet! The sleeves were very easy to do--it was my 1st time doing sleeves too. The hardest part was getting the gathers even on the skirt--it was my 1st time doing that too (there's a spot in the middle of the back with no gathers!!!)
