Gabbaland Quiet Book – Toodeeland

April 4, 2014 by Bethany 2 Comments

For this next installment page for our Gabbaland quiet book, I did the next easiest one: Toodeeland! Just three colors and lots of nice straight edges to cut.
In case you missed it, my first page was Brobeeland, and The Boy is wondering when the next pages will be done, so I really need to get this finished for him.

You can find a printable template HERE.

You need:
Corresponding Embroidery Thread

Felt:
1 Light Gray
1 White
1 Light Blue

This is how the pieces should be placed on your blue felt page.
Make sure to sew the back ones in place first.

Gabbaland Quiet Book – Brobeeland

March 14, 2014 by Bethany Leave a Comment

Maybe some of you remember my Yo Gabba Gabba Felt Magnets from a while back. Well, my son still loves playing with them; not so much on the fridge, but along with his other toys on the floor. So I thought it would be fun to make a Gabbaland quiet book to go with the characters. I figured I would publish each one as I finish it. I am starting with Brobeeland.

Keep in mind, this is an “artistic interpretation” of the scenery from the show. It doesn’t look exactly the same, but I showed it to The Boy this morning, and he knew exactly what it was!

I made a printable template of this page for you! You can find it here: Brobeeland Template

Felt sheets you will need:

1 Orange
1 Gold
1 Tan
3 sheets, each a different shade of brown

The orange is the background and the foundation for the whole page. I took the gold sheet and cut it in half for the foreground, and I just eyeballed a strip of dark brown for the middle piece. It overlaps where the gold lays on the orange. Sew the brown strip in place first. After that, line up each tree piece with its secondary piece and sew them onto the page. I just laid the top piece in place and sewed them both at the same time. Then, finish with the last couple wood pieces.

Don’t forget to go and get all five characters HERE (you can just leave off the magnetic strips).

Happy crafting!

Vegetable Garden Quietbook Template

June 14, 2013 by Bethany 33 Comments

I actually finished this page several months ago, but I never posted a template, so I decided to get one made up!

This one is my own pattern but I got inspiration for this page at Leafy Treetop Spot. Tricia’s page is so cute! I just loved her idea for a vegetable garden so much, I had to try it.

Vegetable Garden Felt Quiet Book Page Template Pattern

 

 

You can find a printable template here:Veggie Garden Template

 
 

I cut the garden rows piece in dark brown, and sewed it onto a sky-blue piece of felt. I just eyeballed the holes. They aren’t perfect, but oh well!  I also left the bottom unsewn. If a veggie or two gets pushed down through the holes, it can be easily retrieved.

To make the veggies, I sewed the green parts together first. Make sure to do any embroidery work before sewing the pieces together (on the veggies and the signs). Then, I took my sewn greenery,  sandwiched it between the two veggie pieces, and sewed the whole thing together. I hand-sew all of the small pieces. It may seem to take longer, but I have a hard time sewing small pieces of felt effectively on the machine.

 
 
 
 
 
 
I really hope those little vegetable don’t get lost.  I had a reader suggest attaching a ribbon to each vegetable so they don’t get misplaced, and I think I will do that. They were a bit tedious to work up, I would be a shame to have to keep making more to replace the lost pieces.
 
Happy sewing!

Mr. Potato Head Quietbook Page Template

May 23, 2013 by Bethany 15 Comments

A few weeks ago I posted my Mr. Potatohead Quietbook page, but then I had some requests for a pattern.

 I should have thought to post it with the first post! Anyway, here is the template: Mr. Potatohead Template
After you have all your pieces cut, sew the head piece to your page. Then, sew the two pieces of each accessory together. For the mouth, embroider the teeth before you sew the two pieces together. For the eyepiece, sew on the pupils before sewing the two pieces together, and for the bow tie, sew on the knot to the top piece before sewing the two together.
Hope you enjoy it!
