Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes Part 4

[aimeeg]

So, last night I watched Crack Rock of Love and went to bed. I have to download our pics from yesterday. I will post in a bit. Something about my kids want to be feed.

Thanks so much for all the compliments. I do appreciate all of them. The color is my favorite part. I am not bragging but . . . I do really have a good eye for color. You have to or you cannot be a very good artist. I am one of those distracted my shinning objects people- so glitter and trim always catch my eye.

Because of all the encouragement I have deceided to start a very small costume line. I am very excited and I am working on my first plan. Hannah will be thrilled with the "samples." I will let everyone know in a bit what my idea is.

I just have to figure out what DHs plan is this week. He is Jewish and Rosh Hoshanna is this week. He told my MIL he was not taking off from work and we (I) was not making dinner. Well to say the least all h*ll broke loose. I may be cleaning and cooking for my inlaws all week.

We will see.

It is still very cute, but I can't believe it wasn't handmade! It looks great. What has Ireland decided to be ths year?

Ireland is going to be a 50s style waitress. I have everything done except for the name tag, and the buttons on the shirt. And yes ladies and gentlemen, I made a shirt with sleeves, and a collar and buttons. Can you believe it! It wasn't even hard! I will post photos soon. I might put the buttons on today..

I know I showed you all a few pictures of these outfits in progress - but I thought I would show some of the finished product. Thanks for looking!

I have been meaning to tell you just how cute this turned out!!! I really love it. The purple is perfect and I think it looks better than a darker would.

I love the yellow mickey heads. They are too cute!!!

Great Job!!!

If it's not too much trouble, please post a pic of a rag quilt. I bought 5 different princess fabrics for the patchwork part, a purple fabric for the back of the blanket, and a pink fabric for around the edges of the purple and the patchwork. I hope that makes sense!

I haven't bought any fleece yet for the other blankets I'm thinking of making.

Too many projects!

Here is a pic of the flannel rag quilt. The front:

The close up:

The back:

This is one made with home spun fabric (I think you can only get this at quilt shops but it shows the x and edges well.)

To make one you cut all your fabric (front and back) into 6" squares and your batting into 5 1/2" squares. Then you make 'sandwiches'. Back fabric, batting, front fabric make a big X in the middle. Then arrange all your sandwiches into rows and columns, whatever dimensions you want. Then you sew them together. I do all my across rows and then join them. Kind of like making a patchwork twirl skirt. But the hem is on the outside and then you make small cuts to make it fray. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

LOL, I'm actually in Kansas City, DH is the Packers fan. And that's very sweet of you to offer to pick up the fabric, but they actually had some at our local Hancock's! I just need to finish my current outfit, then I'll start on the Packers stuff.

Hi neighbor. Where in KC are you? I'm in South OP.

My dh and I went on a date yesterday, we got up at 5am and drove to Gatlinburg TN and Cherokee NC.

I wish I had known you were there! I was there too! Next time, do not go on labor day weekend. It's the pits! We always arrive on Thursday night because there is no traffic, and try to leave in the wee hours monday morning. This time we left at 5:00 am on Sunday to catch a flight in Chattanooga for disney world. We are there every year for Labor day, because all my hubbies friends from college rent a cabin and play games. It's been a tradition for 17 years now. I wish all my friends would do this.

 

[teresajoy]

Thanks! I didn't think to look under tops, I looked under corsets!
I knew you would have it in there somewhere!

I think I'll put it there too, to make it easier to find!

I can't help you with the iron question, I just wanted to say I love that you're surprising the kids! I want to do that next time, dd16 will be the tricky one!

Okay, I promise to stop surfing the web, and go download pics.......

That's right, I forgot that you were going! We actually only drove through Gatlinburn & Pigeon Forge. We spent more time in Cherokee, much less crowded!

At least you didn't get volunteered to do passover on the spur of the moment!
man I miss my Jewish friends. Can I come over? The bread they got for rosh hoshanna was always soooo good. I guess I could go get some from the same bakery (it's a Japanese owned bakery, if you can believe that), but I can't remember what it's called.

I can not WAIT to see your daughter in the mermaid outfit -
how does she walk? Is it open in the back?

You can iron tulle?

Ok, what is Weeki Wachee?

Weeki Wachee is were the mermaids live!

Rumor has it my aunt used to be one of the mermaids!

 

[karebear1]

Real quick her is the mermaid costume. We leave in 26 minutes so I gotta run!

SO cute!!!!! I love all the thing-a-ma-bobs and so on! How did you do the ribbon along the bottom of the top??

Good morning! I stayed up entirely too late (with the aid of a little cherry coke zero) to finish this little AK outfitfor DD.

The trim at the bottom is a kind of taffeta fabric I think with raised, velvety feeling stripes. It's very cool - I found it in the remnants at JoAnn a while back and had to have it!

Love the color combo!

I can't wait to see your Tweedle Dee/Dum costumes! It made me chuckle because I was ALMOST the Queen of Hearts to Norah's Alice, but I couldn't convince my boys to be the late Rabbit and the Tweedles. My 18 year old graciously consented to being the opium smoking caterpillar (I dont THINK so son!)

This is so something my kids would volunteer for! Heck.... after my "vacation" and that trip to Busch Gardens... I might just volunteer for it myself!!

Well I got the fabric and supplies to make DD's Alice costume today.
Also, I got the fabric ans supplies to make DW's and my Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum costumes. I have never done anything adult sized. We shall see how this goes! It should be easier though, no "little" parts and pieces to stitch together!

Must see the fam in their costumes before you leave!! I think you're going during the same time we are- I'll keep my eyes out for you.

I haven't read since last night but I absolutely had to share that I just finished my first applique! I am quite pleased with it and think it went well, other than the detail straight stitches. I kept the shape simple, which helped. I used all the tips I've read here and used bobbin thread, heat n' bond lite, and sulky, tear-away stabilizer. I did not use a pressing sheet because neither Joann's I went to seemed to carry it so I guess I'll order it. Anyway, here's the applique, I'll share the full dress later when I have a model for it. Although I like it, do any of you pros see something wrong that I need to do different next time?

GREAT JOB FOR A FIRST TIME!! You have a natural ability!

I just got back from a trip to Chicago. I can't believe how many pages have went by since I checked the boards! I'm not even going to attempt to read them all, but I'm going to check out our photobucket site to see what you all have created! I keep hearing that aimeeg has really went to town since I've been gone!

I just wanted to post to let everyone know I am fine. There were a few that were concerned because I haven't posted in so long. I was flattered that anyone noticed I was gone!

I made Tessa a My Little Pony outfit before I left and I'll post pictures of it as soon as I get it ironed (gotta love that 100% cotton fabric). I even hand washed the darn thing- I never hand wash!!

This is for Teresajoy There, are you awake now?! She's skerred of clowns.

We have surprised our kids not once but twice for Disney. Can yo believe they fell for it 2 times? Once we told them we were going camping, and they didn't figure it out until we drove under the "Walt disney World" sign. That was their first time camping there. The second time we just picked them up from school and had the camper all packed. I made them search a words, and crosswords and they had to figure out where we were going. The search a word had hidden rides names in it, the crossword puzzle had various questions, but each answer had one big block, once all of the answers were filled in, he had to write all of the letters in the big blocks at the bottom of the page, it spelled out "We're going to Disney World." It's the most creative thing I've ever done. I saved it to scrapbook one day.
