Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes Part 3

[danicaw]

Do you mind giving me the site for that? I am making pillowcases for the kids to get characters to sign and that would be perfect for the edging on the side. I am going to have "Disney Dreamin" embordered on the center of the pillow and have the characters sign with fabic pens. I have no time to do the custom autograph books that I usually do since they tend to be about 150 pages a piece

I sent you a PM

Oh my Hello Fellow Marylanders! My family will be in Camping Griswald's neck of the woods on Thursday, my sister is in OC til Saturday and we're going down to stay a day or 2 with her.I live in the burbs of Baltimore County. We're big Raven's fans too. We were up at training camp last Thursday. DD 7 caught 2 footballs kicked by Todd Heap ,she was surrounded by all these bigger kids and she just stepped right up and caught both of them. Todd Heap , Ray Lewis and some of the other guys on the team were laughing about her catching them, and told the ball boys to let her keep one, but the ball boys made her give them back, she was not a happy camper .

Blessed Be,
Tina

My Mom is a Balt Co. girl! All of my uncles and my grandparents live there. My DH went to Towson.

Have fun at the beach.

Oh they totally should have let her keep the football!! Like they need it! Iwish one of those superstars would have just handed her a football. What a neat story anyway.

Come on down, the weather is HOT. 95 by 9:30 today. Heat advisory from noon to 8 pm. Good beach weather. Must let you know though, 15 yo son went shark fishing today. The caught a 5 footer just three miles off shore. You never hear about those things on the news, but trust me it happens! Of course the boys were so excited, no one took any pictures!! We still swim in the Ocean all of the time, but I personally keep an ear out for that music......
dada dada dada da da da da da da doodle ooohhhhh

Well I went "away" to college at Towson too. Some of us Eastern Shore people have our feet just sucked in by the marsh no matter how hard we try to get away!!

I really like the way the patches are staggered. Do you have a trick for the order you lay out your squares?

Thanks, I really like the effect. Each panel is double the length of the one above so I just match seams when I join them and gather. When I make them, I use a full width of fabric (42-44") for each panel of the narrower bottom ruffle. Depending on how many panels I use, that ruffle can be over 10 yards long!

It would be fun to do a Cheerleading skirt with coordinating fabrics.

The girls on our trip are HUGE HSM fans. My DN has the sheet set and does not use the top sheet. I plan to make some tops out of that and applique TROY across the backside of shorts. It's all pink and white colors. Kmart just had HSM shoes in those colors that we picked up.

It looks like you used three different colors/pattens? do you find it owrks best with three ? Thanks!

Woohoo! My sewing machine came home yesterday so I was able to start getting caught up. I got these done yesterday and was very pleased with the results... although I still have some problems getting the mouths to look right. Someone asked me to do the applique on panels she sent that will be used for corset style tops. It was kind of fun to be able to do just the applique.

Does anyone know where I can get cheap headbands to cover with fabric to match outfits?

You guys all have great talent!!!! I really wish I could sew something. I have this great sewing machine, and have no clue how to use it. I wish I could find someone in my area to teach me.

Check with your local community college if you have one near you. I know when I lived in Elgin, IL (a Chicago suburb) the community college had all sorts of sewing classes at all levels. They even had "flat pattern design" classes (I audited a few of those..I had gotten to know the instructor thru connections with a fabric store). Nana

I just bought a red cheerleading dress complete with pom poms from Target. it looks kinda like the cheerleading costumes from HSM. All I need to do is take the megaphone off and add the HSM letters. I think I paid 10.00 for it. DD is THRILLED!!!!!

I need ideas ladies!

I have purchased osh kosh railroad overalls for the kids (DDs is a dress and DS I need to turn into shortalls) for them to wear to the Choo Chool Soul concert. I need ideas on embellishing them also if anyone knows sources for me to find appliques of maybe the train or the logo that would be great. Put those thinking caps on!

We love Choo Choo Soul, we they were then we we are. I would think an engine and some numbers (we love the 123 song) would be cute.

Happy 600 Pages, Ladies!!!

It has taken a week but I finally got my Art Studio back in shape! Boy was this a job. I took a ton of pics because I do not think it wil ever be this clean again!

I am an artist and I make 1940's vintage reproduction Christmas decorations. I have really taken to sewing as a great creative outlet. The best part is I do not have to make any money off of sewing so I feel no pressure.

I thought I would share how I have organized my art room. I am so glad I got all my sewing organized. I do not know why I never did before!

Here is my desks. Half is for the computer and the other was for paperwork. I ended up just putting piles of junk so it is now my sewing machines home. The desk legs and tops came from Ikea. Super cheap! I also bought the lamps, chairs and shelves there too. All of the glass jars hold my vintage craft supplies. (Pretty Storage)

Under the desks are my Halloween fabric and the picnic baskets hold the on deck projects.

Here is my bookshelf I use for orders in the works. My houses take a lot of drying time so they are staged here. The bookshelf and storage center came from no other than Ikea.

This is my big work desk. It is great for painting, glittering, and cutting fabric. I have a hanging pendant light above so I can have direct light. I sewed this fabric wrap to hide all the ugly storage.

Here is where I am keeping the "today" projects. It was on sale at JoAnnes for $4.99.

I really embraced the seamstress' idea of mini bolts. I made these during Monk. I thought it was the perfect oppurtunity to celebrate OCD. I also made mini bolts for trim.

Here are all my patterns. I even organized them by number.

Sorry if it was too many pictures.

I just was really inspired by the ladies who posted there sewing areas. I cannot remember who posted it but she had a red walled sewing room- but thanks! I was really inspired!

I've used anywhere from 3 to 8 prints. It depends on my mood, the look I have in mind when I put together the prints and how many I see in my stash that I think would work well together. I almost always use at least 3 prints in even the simplest outfits. I don't know why but it just seems to add a little extra interest.

I used 5 prints for this skirt:

and 7 prints for this one (plus another for the bottom ruffle)
