Disboutiquers Part 18 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[Cibahwewah]

OK, I know I've asked before. I'm having such a hard time needing to move my baby boy into a BIG BOY room. I did go out an bought Navy Blue curtains. (I can get Chocolate if need to)

I was trying to decide on color for the wall. Modes of transportation is the room, because this BOY loves wheels. Someone said Kahki, but I like color. So do I go with a lighter blue to go with the navy curtains, or green, or do the kahki?
(his furniture is oak)



Also, my girls room is a torquoise color green. I'm wanting to paint their room pink. Like what Araeyah had, and now attikus is in. lol

Would 2 walls with the green, and then do the other 2 pink. Look ok, or should I go all pink? The 2 with the green have doors on them. One wall is all closet! I will accent with purple. Their furniture is white. I'm about to move miss Ellarie out of her full size bed into a twin. I think they need more floor space right now, then move the full back in later. Araeyah is already in a twin. (they have the old Master bedroom)

Ideas, I'm horrible with decorating their rooms. UGH

Olive Kids has a cute bedspread with matching sheets and shams and Wallies (removable wallpaper appliques) in a transportation theme--it's what I used for my little boy's room.


On another note: I finally got my order done on Joann.com this morning (6am), but it never applied the coupon code to my order, so I overpaid $8.
I've never tried so long to put an order through on a website.

I'm sure there is a rule somewhere about buying the basics when they are on sale.... Joann's had thread on sale for 50% off on Friday. I managed to purchase over $200 worth of fabrics, notions, batting and the like.

Why did I not get any WHITE thread?

I am half way through with snowman #4 (out of 8) when I ran out of white thread! I have every color imaginable...but no white. How do you think a snowman would look with a red thread...or maybe yellow!

My goal was to have them appliqued and partially quilted today. Don't see that happening. I wonder if anything good is on TV...


Nini

I would go with the yellow!!!

 

[emcreative]

Nini, are you stitching the whole snowman, or just doing the applique outline (using white fabric)? If it's just the outline, can you do it in black?

 

[woodkins]

I would go with the yellow!!!

Didn't your mother ever tell you to watch out for yellow snow

So my SPOILED 5yr old wants a Jonas Brothers CD for Christmas. Any ideas which one would be better. I already got her the Miley CD. SC is bringing her an MP3 player, so I want to download the songs before, and stick the CD's with it too. The spoiled little girl asked for hamsters (zhu zhu's), Jonas Brothers CD, Nintendo DS, and MP3 player now that she is playing with mine. I told her she probably won't get everything because she is still young. That little stinker so far is getting all of them. (Not everything will be from me, some is from family too) Now the hamsters are for both girls. (2 for each girl) She did want the little ball that went with it, but haven't found one yet. the only other thing is she wanted an I spy game for the computer. I haven't found one, she plays it at school. SO I was going to talk to her teachers.

If anyone has ideas on Music for the 5yr old, please send them my way. Thanks!

Argh! My daughter is getting a Kindell for her birthday next Friday....and wants me to make a bag to carry it in. She is obsessed with books and always carries them in a bag. She is getting the Kindell and is ordering a book cover...now she wants a bag to carry it in.

I know the dimensions I need the bag to be... 8 1/2 x 5 1/2. She loves lady bugs and I have some appliqued lady bug squares I got for that auction site years ago. The problem is the size of the squares. Four of them sewed together will give me a finished square of 10 inches. Too big. (she also wants a side pocket for it as well!)

Know of any good patterns for this sort of thing? Anyone got any ideas? For some reason my mind is having trouble wrapping itself around the whole concept. I've made bags before, so I'm not sure what is wrong with me on this one!

And while I did manage to finish a quilt for a shower gift next week, I am woefully behind on my Christmas sewing! Anybody got any extra time they aren't using? I'm sure I could find a way to make it my own!!!!


Nini

I have this bookmarked - not sure if it will help or not, but it sure is cute! Maybe you can use the dimensions?

Please pray for our youth minister and his family. On their return from a family Thanksgiving visit with their family in Alabama, they had a terrible car wreck. I don't have a lot of details, but Brian is in the hospital in LaGrange, GA; Kristy was sent to the hospital in Atlanta, GA (she is more serious) and their almost three year old daughter, Helen, went to stay with the angels.

You are lucky just to get your order in...I've been trying since Friday!

Well, sitting in church services this morning, I was hit with some inspiration. (I usually get my inspiration when I am not thinking about my problem!)

I used one of the lady bug squares, added some borders and used it for the pocket. Then I used a few inches of scraps to make the actual bag. I decided to quilt it (my downfall!!!! I started with the bag fabric 2 inches larger than I needed and after channel quilting it - it was just barely the right size!) Unfortunately, my serger took that time to act up...and now my seams aren't nice and pretty anymore. I was going to add an inner bag to cover the seams and the handles, but it would have made it too snug a fit! So...I just tacked down the top (not at all professional looking!). I'll enclose a gift certificate for another one after Christmas...when I have more time to work out the details!

I have taken a picture of the bag...but it is taking waaaaaaay too long to upload to photobucket today. It will have to wait a day or two.

No...I never was able to find any Alabama flannel. I was able to get a few yards of the cotton...so I guess they will have to make do with that. I even had my daughter looking for the Alabama flannel while on her visit to Alabama over the weekend.(yes, I lied to her about the purpose of the fabric...told her I had a client that was looking for it) She said everyone acted like she was crazy!

Now...only 8 wall hangings to complete today...snowmen for teachers gifts. Guess I'd better actually get STARTED!!!

Nini

I bet it's a lot better than you think; I can't wait to see it!

Hi everyone - I have enjoyed looking at your beautiful creations. I enjoy sewing, although I have not done much in the past few years. Here's an Alice costume I sewed about 6 or 7 years ago. Both of my girls have worn it a lot and I've had to resew the lace on a few times. I'll try not to apologize for the blue bow since the thread rules say that I'm not allowed to

I would love to know if there is a pattern available for the Ariel dress shown by mom2rtk in the following post:

Have a great day!

Cute!

Designing 17 Disney character shirts for the kids in Hunter's class. Half way done. Here is just a sample. I wanted to keep it all simple and not have any one child more designed than other.

Well you get the general idea. Only 11 more to make but I have all the clip art ready. I have the shirts but not the ink to make them yet.

Those are going to be great!

HELP!!
Does anyone have any tips for hooping a size 18mo t-shirt onto a 5x7 hoop? I can hoop it but I can't get the shirt out of the way when I turn the shirt wrong side out. Usually that works but not this time, and of course I have several shirts to do for our trip for DGS1.

I "float" the small sizes on top of hooped stabilizer. I stickey spray (sulky) and then like the other ladies just push any overlap out of the way. Time consuming but imho worth it.

I hope Peach likes this and perhaps you could put it on a shirt for her.

ummm, can I case that for my ASD princess? Her fave color is pink and trust me, she totally has Tink's personality (from Peter pan, not the new movies LOL) If not, I understand, but it's totally perfect!

Oh no, what a tragedy for their family, and of course for your church family as well. I'll be praying for all involved.
