Disboutiquers Part 7 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[eeyore3847]

It came out GREAT!

When appliqueing do you fuse the fabric you want to applique to the main fabric. ie fuse the mickey head to the tshirt? Or do you use the fusing to make the Mickey head sturdier but pin it to the shirt?

you fuse the mickey head straight to the shirt/fabric you want it on to. then you applique... you have to use a stabilizer on the back of the tshirt/fabric to give it stability while appliqing...

Scotland is stunning! I have been there a few times since we have family. LOVE Edinburgh and the Highlands! I think what I liked about Scotland best is the fact we did do the touristy stuff but since we were staying with my family we got to do the every day life kind of stuff. Make sense?
the other thing I loved is how friendly every one was!. When DH and i went yrs ago we were just 19 and we stayed a few nights at my Aunt and Uncles flat in Edinburgh by ourselves. At night we would head to the pubs and just talk with the locals and you know we really felt like the locals were watching out for us. They would tell us cool things to check out and fun local stories. Really great!

WOW it came out great! Now I am embarrassed of mine! LOL I wasn't sure what stitch length to use or what I would like so around mine I kept changing the stitch settings to find the one I liked.

Yeah I am not the most pateint person! As I said I was changing the stitches doing this one because I wasn't sure which to uses.
Here is the shirt I made Oh and the shorts.

OF course I actually started out really slow and then at one point my machine stopped working well t just kept going over the same spot so I gave it a push and it kept going, Then at another point the needle fell out! So I tried to go slow but my machine apparently likes it rough!

Here is the whole outfit.

My birthday boy clowning around

I can't believe my baby boy is 6 today! I want to cry!

he definately is happy with it ... Happy Birthday to your lil one,,, We share a Birthday

Oh I am sorry you had to leave what looks like a beautiful state for NJ. I grew up in NJ. Sorry for all the NJ people but not my fav state. Don't get me wrong I am glad I am FROM there but very glad i am not there any more. The shore is cool I will say.

Sorry about the stressful week!
I am thrilled your cat came back!!!!!!! That is so great! The kids must be so happy!

LOL We have a Daisy dog too. Well Actually Princess Daisy Mae I call her Daisy dog or Daisy Doo. Oh wait or Devil dog or crazy Daisy
When we got Rocky yrs ago we had a cat and when we brought Rock home the cat was like what the heck is this big doopey thing. We called them Garfield and Odie. Poor Rocky got the crap beat out of him by the cat. Polie would perch himself high up just so he could whack him as he walked by. One time I actually caught Polie (cat) chasing Rocky( dog) and Polie was jumping up biting Rocky's butt! Rocky was about 100lbs and Polie about 20 so it was quit a sight! Of course when no one was looking the would snuggle but if any one saw one of them would get up and walk away pretending the whole thing never happened. So I am sure Polie is back to beating the crap out of Rocky in heaven now.

What great news! Continued prayers to your mom! Thank you for keeping us posted!

I finally got around to Making Nicholas a Mickey set for our October trip. I am unsure of the weather.... so we can add a long sleeve tshirt under this if it is too cold....

Just saying HI!!! I really don't post often, just don't really have the time to keep up! But I did want to show off my latest project! Mind you I haven't sewn in like FOREVER, but I ordered this fabric and had to use it! So here is my first attempt EVER at a pettiskirt! Be honest and tell me what you think!

I know I need to clip threads, and I am also adding a bow and making a top to go with it! Maybe soon I can post a pic of Sydni actually wearing it!

I think you are brave for trying a petti and I think it looks great!!! a blinged out top would be perfect!

THANK YOU LORI! It actually wasn't hard at all but VERY time consuming! I don't sew fast at all! I bought a tank top to do something with, I just haven't decided yet!

??? for all of you who applique. I think I had a light bulb moment or maybe a blonde moment it could be either with me
When appliqueing do you fuse the fabric you want to applique to the main fabric. ie fuse the mickey head to the tshirt? Or do you use the fusing to make the Mickey head sturdier but pin it to the shirt?

I was doing the fuse stuff to the Mickey head to make it stiffer and mining it to the shirt....

Fuse to the appliqué fabric, cut out the shape, remove the backing paper and fuse to the tshirt. If you're doing satin stitch around the edge, definitely use stabilizer behind the appliqué. The stabilizer goes inside of the tee so you have these layers: appliqué fabric, fusible, teeshirt and then stabilizer. If you haven't tried already, I'd suggest using an open-toe presser foot or whatever comes with your machine that is made for appliqué. Mine is clear plastic and has a small raised area that allows the satin stitch to pass under it without getting caught up. The regular sewing foot can work but too often my work gets hung up and the stitching bunches. The plastic presser foot helps me keep the stitches much smoother.

Nicholas looks really adorable!!

Thanks, He just turned 2 and I realize that he looks like such a little man now and not a baby anymore.. boo hooo!!!

I was in a mops group with a lady who found out at 8 mos. pregnant that her baby had trisomy 18. It was horrible for the family. Someone actually told her that she was lucky that she didn't have to "get used to the baby and then lose it." I know she would have given anything to get to have her baby for even 99 days.

Yeah, I think that's one of the reasons why the video got to me so much - that family knew how blessed they were to have him for so long, that's why they celebrated each day at his birth time. The little guy I took care of lived for 11 days, and I know his family absolutely cherished those days they had with him.

It's easy sometimes to forget or take for granted just how blessed I am. Then I go to work and take care of a really sick baby or see a video like this one and I am reminded. I try to remember these things when my kids are driving me crazy. I know that those families would have given anything to go through the terrible twos and potty training and everything else.

I think it looks great!

Thank you Lisa!

I want to say thank you for all the prayers. My mom is doing much much better.They moved her from ICU to the main floor today.They are shooting for next Friday for a surgery date,her BP is good and her sugar is back to normal.She is talking up a storm just like her normal self. If she is still doing good I told dd that I would start on her school clothes Saturday.
I want to send a special thanks to HeatherSue. yes they have started her on the Lovenox 2x a day.The Dr had a look on his face like why didn't I think of that when I asked him about it,but they still have to wait till the other is mostly out of her system before they can do the stent.
well I am going to try n get caught up on this thread then go to bed I am so tired but can never fall asleep till 2-3 am.

i am so glad your mom is doing better. I'll continue to pray for her recovery!

One of my coworkers sent me this video the other day. It's a beautiful video of a little boy with Trisomy 18, narrated by his father. One of my very favorite babies I've ever taken care of had Trisomy 18 and this video was very touching to me, so I thought I'd share. Be forewarned, though, it's sad and you'll need tissues.

Thanks for sharing...makes you want to hold your kids a little tighter and cherish EVERY moment as they did.

I can't believe my baby boy is 6 today! I want to cry!

Happy Birthday to your little one! Don't forget to update your signature!

Like I said, I've had a pretty stressful week, but something AMAZING happened today!!!!!


You all might remember that while we were in Florida, 2 1/2 months ago, our cat ran away? So, we got a new little kitten about a month ago. Well, today, we got a phone call from someone who had found our cat!!!!! I have NO idea what he had been doing for the last 2 1/2 months, but we got him back tonight, and he looks great!!! I thought he woudl be skinny and flea infested, but he doesn't look any different than when we lost him. Although, he does look HUGE to us now, compared to our little kitten!!! I combed him out with a flea comb, and didn't even find any fleas or ticks on him. We brought him into the house, and he came out of the carrier, and went right to the kitchen where his food is! He is now in his old spot, underneath the computer desk, next to my feet!!!! It's like he was never gone!!! Foxie, our new kitten doesn't quite know what to think of him though!!! He keeps running up to him looking at him, then one f them will growl, and Foxie runs away. Then, he'll sneak back up to him really slowly. They both keep giving me looks that seem to say, "What the heck is HE doing in my house?!"

We are pretty pleased to have him home! I am just so shocked!!! I thought for sure he was dead!!! I'm really glad we keep nametags on our cats!

Now, if we can just get him to stay inside form now on!!! He is already meowing to be let outside!!!!

Yipee!!! I am so glad you got your kitty back!

Hope your week is getting better!

I am so jealous, I have everything to make one, just not the nerve (or the time right now!)


So, DS4 decided to dance on our air hockey table the other night while I was folding clothes upstairs...all of a sudden thump! the screaming and crying...i went down and he would not calm down. Finally he does. I felt his arm and nothing seems out of wack or broken. That was Wednesday night. Yesterday he seemed okay, but today it seems a little swollen and now he has a small bruise on his elbow. He can move all his fingers just fine, make a fist like I said, yesterday, he was fine. But now, since he is favoring it, I am worried that he may need to have an x-ray. DH thinks that he probably just hit it wrong and wants to wait the weekend out. What do you guys think? He's not crying or anything, just not using that arm a lot. And he doesn't want me to mess with his arm.

Don't know if anyone read the "Last Lecture" or saw it on YouTube but he passed this morning

I followed his story and that is really sad. His family will surely miss him!

 

[princesskayla]

Only on tickets. they get a special pass that gets themselves and their dependents in. There are black out dates, but we never go around that time anyhoo. So, if I was management I would only pay for my dicounted room and them food!

Wow, that is a wonderful perk! I might just have apply at my local Disney store.

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

Don't know if anyone read the "Last Lecture" or saw it on YouTube but he passed this morning

That truly is sad news. I have read his book and kept up with his blog. What a positive attitude he truly had.
