Disboutiquers Part 13 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[Tinka_Belle]

I'm not sure if you're one of the fabulous appliquers or not...if not, do you want me to whip up an iron on hotfix star wars pattern? If so, what do you have in mind?

How do you use those designs with the Hot Fix stuff? I don't really know how to do that.

How do you use those designs with the Hot Fix stuff? I don't really know how to do that.

First, when I printed it out, I'd need to mirror it like a tee shirt transfer. Tape the design to the table.

There there is see-through "transfer paper" that is sticky on one side. You take off the sticky covering, and lay the paper down STICKY SIDE UP on top of the design. Then you tape the edges of the transfer paper to the table so it doesn't move while you work.

Using tweezers, you position the hotfix rhinestones/rhinestuds GLUE SIDE UP on the sticky transfer paper one by one in the position of your pattern, which you can see underneath!

When you're done, you can either iron it right on the shirt, or put the cover back over the sticky paper to iron on later.



I hope that made sense, it's the first time I've tried to describe the process to anyone.

I've made a couple - they are longer than 3 yards though - I would recommend closer to 5yds depending on size of mama. If you use something with stretch in it it's good for when they are little but not so much as they get older. A knit often doesn't fray so it's just a matter of cutting to size (mine was 50cm so I think that is 20" wide) - I got 3 wraps from 5yds of fabric - kept one in the car, gave one away and kept one at home for me.

For a woven fabric you need to hem it so it won't fray. Also a woven one is much better for older children as they shouldn't lose their shape.

I personally prefer one whole piece of fabric and not cut and sew down the center as it makes a weak point but others have no problem with it. Each to their own.

I'd suggest doing a search for hugabub, moby wrap, storchenwiege or look on thebabywearers website (they have patterns and instructions on there)

I'm a big fan of baby wearing, I own lots of different sorts of wraps, slings and meitai's.

I would suggest the Babywearer too! My DD wears my DGD all the time. They searched for almost 9 months for the perfect pink stroller and now they never even use it! She bought a table cloth at Ross to make a wrap! There are all sorts of fabrics you can use for them. Here are a couple that I made for DD.

Both of course were taken at Disneyland!

Since I was kind of lurking for the past few days, I didn't quote many and I always feel bad if I don't quote, so all the outfits were too cute! I loved the farm animals, the fancy nancy, the tutu's, the easter dresses and stuffed bunnies, the purses and especially liked seeing the before "unseen" daughters! I have said prayers for those needing it. Piper, my DD is a teacher and one year had 3 special needs children and a part time aid. The other teacher had 4 special needs children and shared that aid. The sad thing is that after that year, both of the teachers left teaching. It took both of them a while before going back into it.

Oh, and for the little one who is in the hospital with diabetes, you are in my prayers. Can I ask how you found that is what is wrong with her? My DGD who is 5 is having some really odd behaviors lately and my DH said the other day, I wonder if she has diabetes. She gets into the pantry in the morning and eats things that are high in sugar. Like suger, brown sugar, pudding. She has been talked to over & over but it is almost like she can't control it. They will be taking her to the doctor as we suggested as it came on suddenly and it might not be just a behavior problem? We thought maybe she wasn't so excepting of her baby sister. Anyone with any other suggestions? It doesn't matter how they punish her, it keeps happening.

Sue, those are awesome. I wish I'd seen them when the baby was smaller. There weren't any commercial ones out there that seemed to fit him and me correctly. Although if he keeps up the way he has been the last few days we may still need to find them. He screams if I'm not touching him recently! That's all well and good unless I need to actually do something or when it's 4:00 in the morning and he wants me to hold him sitting up! (It was tummy problems yesterday)

I just got Em's new spring pictures! /sniffle She just doesn't look like a kid anymore!

She's actually supposed to be in the grade below, I told her if we move to Texas I'm going to make her go back into that grade just so I can keep her home longer!

We just got home and I have tons of pictures to share and I met someone while in the Magic Kingdom. We only made it to Disney one day so on thursday we hit the MK. I will be back when I have dug out my camera.

Awww, she is beautiful! Its just the pits that they actually grow up and want to move on with their lives!

How old is the little one? Molly has been "worn" since she was about a month old starting with the sling and now moving on to the mai tai and now she has a couple of beco's. Molly had severe reflux, but put her in one of her carriers and she just completely calms down. It is amazing! I hear its never too late to start!

Who did you meet??? Can't wait to see the pictures!

How old is the little one?

Baby boy (We call him Ferb when we can't use his name) just turned a year old the end of last month. His "corrected age" is 10 months, but he's still 20 lbs!

Ok That sounds like a little more than I am willing to get into. I will let you dazzle us all with your designs and I will sit and envy the things that you make. Or many we could trade talents. KWIM??

We'll see how it goes when I actually put my plan into action. The hotfix supplies arrived in the mail today. YAY!

I still "wear" Julia, and she is almost 18 months. When I put her in there it's like instant slumberland, plus it's much easier to accomplish anything.

I Beco's! my favorite is still my didymos wraps though!

Do they work with "fluffy" mamas? That was the biggest problem I had...

 

[livndisney]

Thanks for the link for the Star Wars fabric. I dont have enough time to order online though-We leave Friday! Nothing like last minute. She has plenty of other clothes I made her, but you know how it is-I'm suddenly obsessing that how on earth could I let her be at Star Wars Weekends with out something Star Wars.

I can look and see if I still have the Star Wars Pillowcase dress Morgan wore(for 30 minutes) when she was 5. If I have it, I can drop it at your hotel for you if you like?

I'd like to know too. . .

What are the best baby carriers for "fluffy" mom's. . .

Plus are there certain recommendations for infants vs. larger babies??

Cool! Can't wait to see how they turn out. Love the Nouba and Phineas and Ferb!

Question for you guys - Im making a big give Chip and Dale outfit, and think I just want to go for a white shirt since the shorts are colorful, and I dont want it to look like pj's - do you think I need to put something on the shirt or will plain be okay? I also tried making a scrunchie since she doesnt wear bows - this is for Andrea.....

Oh, those are so CUTE!

I think a white shirt would look great with that, but if you wanted to tie it in without making it too busy, you could (assuming you have scraps from making the shorts) cut out one of the Chips (or Dales) and sew it on the shirt to kind of integrate them together.

So so cute, though.

Oh my goodness you guys, I have some really WONDERFUL news!!!!! ABSOLUTELY wonderful news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We just found out late yesterday that we will FINALLY be able to adopt our beautiful baby boy!!!!! After 17 very long months of worrying and fearing the worst, we finally have an adoption date!!!! Oh I am soooooooo excited!!!! This smile has not left my face since I heard the news! In the beginning of July our son will become ours legally forever and ever!!! No more worrying that he will be ripped from our lives!!! This huge weight of fear has been lifted and we have truly been blessed!!!!!!!!! Oh I can not wait......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts and prayers. You guys are the best and I love being a part of this group!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is such wonderful news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!

I hope Mia's doing okay, and you too. That must be very stressful! Thanks for letting someone know about the roll-ups. You are very thoughtful to even be thinking of it when your life is so crazy. Lots of prayers for Mia!

So about a year or so ago I bought this fabric and posted it not knowing what I would make with it, well I finally made something! Lily calls it her "Old Mikadonald" dress. She wore it to church today and I was walking past her classroom and heard them inside singing Old McDonald had a farm so she's workin' it! She loves that song.

Honestly I think my favorite part is the cowprint peasant top! Now I think she needs a purple poodle skirt to go with it! (sorry, just realized the photo is blurry)

This is so adorable!

 

[SallyfromDE]

Believe it or not, I actually have something to share! My daughter Hannah and I made this tutu today for her to wear to the Cirque du Soleil show! (You can see she's still not feeling her best). It's hard to tell but it's actually red, white, black and yellow:

I'm still waiting for my hotfix supplies to come in the mail, but when they do, I designed this and I'm hoping to put this in rhinestones on the tank top:

I'm having a lot of fun making hotfix patterns. If the Cirque shirts turn out okay I want to do these for Hoop de Doo:

Love the hot fix designs, I'm going to have to give this a try. Your skirt came out great. Isn't it catchy around here? You'll be sewing soon.
