Store that sells ugly or slutty baby clothes?

admin — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 08:45:29 +0000

my sister-in-law makes fun of me for having "bad taste" in baby clothes so I want to send her an idea for an outfit for her baby. The outfit needs to be really really ugly or just plain slutty. Maybe something with lotsa of frills and girly stuff. (it’s a girl baby, by the way)
Also, she likes flower patterns, so even if they look kinda bad, she will like them so oh well.
Thanks for helping me search! 10 points to whoever has the worst baby outfit!! (4-6 months)

How do I make a quilt out of old baby clothes?

admin — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 07:21:25 +0000

I am not an experienced quilter, I barely even sew, but I would love to take my sons clothes from his first year and make them into a keepsake quilt. I don’t want it to look like a planned pattern, just lots of pieces with little memories attached. Do I have to hand sew? I’d love to use a machine! Are different fabrics going to make it too hard? How do I attach batting? How do I make it strong enough to last? I know I have a lot of questions, but I think it is such a neat idea and I really want to be able to do this for him! I’d appreciate any tips, advice, or patterns! Thanks!

You will have to stabilize the knits with a light weight iron-on interfacing (sold near the fabric cutting table.) This will keep them from stretching as you sew.

Cut the fabrics for the best utilization. Stitch together using a 1/4" seam allowance. This sounds too narrow, but is the standard that has been used for many years.

If you wish to use a larger seam allowance, it is okay.

Get the top pieced (quilting lingo for matching the blocks and bits and pieces together).

Even the sides. From this you can tell how much batting and fabric for the backing you will need.

The thinner the batting the easier it will be to quilt the layers (top, batting and backing). Don’t use craft batting as it will not hold up to being washed in a washing machine.

Once you have the quilt layered, pin to hold all in place. Stitch around the outer edges to help hold them together and then apply the binding.

Make your own binding from cotton or odd pieces of the left overs. French style binding is stronger.

It is a double binding instead of a single binding and will withstand wear and tear.

Cut the binding 2.5" wide, fold and press. Align the raw edges of the binding with the raw edges of the quilt. Stitch the sides first. Fold over to the back and hand stitch or machine stitch in place. Repeat for the top and bottom.

Do some stitching on the top of the quilt to hold the layers together. You can stitch around designs on the clothing, make squiggles or echo the stitch line where the blocks and pieces were sewn together.

Hand embroider the child’s name, the date the quilt was made and your name on the back for rememberance.

Please tell me how to make a quilt of old baby clothes-just squares, nothing fancy.?

admin — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 06:40:38 +0000

Please help! I have all these baby clothes that I don’t have the heart to donate (they are the ones I couldn’t part with) and instead of keeping them in storage I’d like to make just a simple square quilt with all of them. Can you please send some simple instructions? I have a sewing machine, and can only really sew a straight line and really don’t know how to use a pattern. I’d like to just cut them into squares and sew them together. Any easy guidance on this? I’d truly appreciate it! Thanks!

It sounds to me like you already know what to do. Open up hems and seams and iron all those pieces. You may want to remove elastic, but you can probably cut and work around most of that. Remove all the buttons or zippers, but buttonholes might be kind of interesting. Since you don’t have a zig zag to close those up, stitch a piece of fabric behind any button holes. Cut the pieces in squares, as many of the same size as you can. "Pro" quilters stich them together using 1/4 in. seams, but you can use larger seams. Be sure all your seams a the same depth, so your squares stay square. Straight stitching is perfect, no fancy stitches needed. If you have designs and appliques on some of the clothes, try to center them in a square as you cut. Or cut them out and make another applique for a square you do have. For a border, open up the sleeves, cut those in long rectangles, sew them end to end. Or cut long rectangles from pant legs. Try to balance colors and textures. When you’re happy with your ‘top’ quilt, add some batting to the back side, stich it down and then add a backing, like baby flannel, or soft cotton. Sounds like you will have a beautiful keepsake when you’re done. Happy stitching, Joanne

Are there any online stores that sell really cute baby boy clothes?

admin — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 23:17:21 +0000

There is an abundance of cute baby girl clothes everywhere, but I have a hard time finding baby boy clothes that don’t have airplanes, cars, balls and baseball bats on them. I also don’t like those sporty or grown up looking baby boy clothes that look like miniature adult clothes. I want like a little sailor’s outfit or striped trousers with suspenders, cute button down shirts with a bow tie around the neck, jackets with herringbone or checkered patterns, etc. Basically anything really cute and a little bit unique.

At Children’s Place, also get $10 off coupon for them at http://www.007coupons.com/Babies—Kids/ChildrensPlace-com-Coupons/index.html to save some money

Easy to sew clothes that look awesome?

admin — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 04:04:18 +0000

I’m a pretty skilled sewer I’ve mad pajamas and baby clothes among other things. This year my mom informed me that I would be making my school clothes I’m really excited about it. I have a unique sense of style I would call it a mix between Rainbow Bright, goth/punk (occasionally) hippie, Humboldt hunny (If your familiar with the term) and casual (T-Shirt and blue jeans) links to patterns or a site I can order patterns from.

It’s lots of fun to go to your local fabric store and page through the pattern books. It’s also cheaper than buying online, because patterns are always on sale. Then you can pick out your fabrics at the same time.
