Disboutiquers Part 20 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

Hmm, seems fairly even on preference of the two backs. I think since the pattern piece for the back will mainly change only in width for the different sizes, I might add a note that the maker can go up or down in size for that piece to get the fullness they prefer.

Have you seen this cute line from Michael Miller? It's called Gnomeville and has fun dots as coordinates. I hadn't seen it until today. I had to run into the local quilt shop for one fabric with the goal of getting that fabric and NOT looking at any others. LOL Well, I almost made it but as I headed to the service desk, I walked right by the end cap that had these prints and they caught my eye. I've thought about using a border print for the front of an Audrey skirt so decided to try with this. I bought just enough for one skirt but it was hard to resist getting more. :rolleyes1

BTW - I love the red dot prints that are at the top of this border print. I think it's the Michael Miller quarter dot. I don't think I'd seen that dot print in person yet and I love that it's larger than the others they've had.

I really like the fuller version; it just seems like it would lay nicely and not pull over the bottom. I'd also be thrilled to test it if you ever decide to add plus sizes to the mix;)

Well, I decided to take the plunge and attempt a woman's size Audrey skirt last night. It's what I'd call a 14/16 but I'm still not totally sure about my sizing. LOL

Here's the front:
audrey_test1.jpg


I need opinions on the back. I started out making it basically the same as the girl's version. After I put it on the dress form, though, I thought it looked too full in the back so I took a photo to show it as is and with the back less full (ignore the fold of fabric in the center. LOL

BTW - Right now I only have one ruffle but I'm planning to do 3 total once I work out how much fullness I want in the back. The sides are just basted and I haven't added the waistband so I can add more ruffles easily to finish this skirt... probably for modeled photos.

How exciting!!! I like the less full version. I think my girls will as well, not form fitting but less fitting.

:yay:
My hubby is making me a new add on to my cutting table for my sewing machine and serger. Both of them will be built in to the table for some flat table sewing.. yipee!!
:banana:
I can't wait to see pictures!

Thanks so much for everyone's kind words on the towels and booties. Don't you just love baby stuff?!!

I used store bought towels using a tutorial I found on Nicole Scott's blog and a little help from her. Here is a link to her tutorial.... Hooded Towel Tutorial

For the booties I used this in the hoop bootie pattern from Planet Applique and added the monkey applique myself from another file I had.

THANK YOU!! :lovestruc Very cool tutorials and embroidery site I've never heard of before :thumbsup2

I am just popping in quick to say bye-bye!!! We are leaving for Florida in the morning. We are bringing the laptop, so I'll probably pop in every once in awhile.

A few of us are hoping to meet up at DTD (by the Lego play stuff) around 4ish tomorrow if anyone wants to meet us over there, we'd love to see you! I have NO clue what I'll be wearing, but I'll look really tired! So, you won't miss me! ;-)

Have a great trip! Can't wait to hear all about it.
 
I have seen those and really like the prints. I think I may have to start buying small amounts of new/popular prints to use for some of my samples made for patterns. I've noticed that many of the popular sellers on YCMT are shown made with the 'hot' prints. Obviously we know that any fabric would work but I do think using newer prints will make the style look more current.
Ya, I don't really love co ops that much lately either. It's always a "well you had this many yards on this bolt and we are dropping it so you need to move your yards elsewhere" I hate that.. obviously I didn't want them elsewhere if I didn't put them there.

Wow...I am so envious! When he is finished...can you send him to Texas?
My hubby would love it if I sent him to Texas. He is from Texas and moved here for me... He reminds me very often that he wishes we were in Texas..

My family never does anything when they are supposed to...it just wouldn't be fun that way!

Last night we had Mother's Day. It was great! (of course I did find out my daughter and her husband are trying to sell their house...THAT was a bummer!) My daughter in law gave me the most awesome present...and I KNEW you guys would apppreciate it...a 50 pack of marathon thread! I can hardly wait to get down to the studio and play with it all!

Whooo Hoooo!



Hope everyone has a great Mother's Day...on SUNDAY!

the pics aren't great, the shirt isn't really that wonky when he has it on but sorry I didn't get a pic of him wearing it. I also made him easy fits in the same navy to match. I used a mc calls pattern for the shirt & gave up on following their nonhelpful instructions about halfway through. YCMT patterns are so much easier to follow :worship:

also I finished up these shirts for Seth's Big Give. I'm also posting them on the Big Give board. Could someone please send me the address if they see this cause I would like to mail them out today & my kids only have half day of school.

That is cute fabric, can't wait to see your creation

Thank you all for the creative ideas!!
While Megan is no longer allowed to help me bake (I'm just too anal about it- I loath a gritty, sticky, sugar-y floor) and cookie dough under the chairs, eh...not so much.

I dont know that she can do the side walk chalk- it requires bending over or squatting- which brings blood to the head. Basically nothing that would add pressure, and no increased heart rate (increases blood flow)

We went to SIS BOOM TODAY!!!! I saw Carla and met her sweet Mom, and Jennifer and her Mom. I bought enough fabric that I'm embarrassed to tell you.

Little Louie couldn't have been a better host friend- the 2 of them paired up immediately and they were so good about doing low key activities.
They each picked a lilac and brought them to the us Moms.
They were walking around the house looking for sticks to make pretend butterflies- then walking with their butterflies and pretending to make them fly.
They sat together in front of the cute walkway with flowers- just talking.

I was paranoid about her doing too much, but Carla's little boy was sweet and low key just like Megan.
It was good to get out.

I will be sure to post photos of whatever I create!

Thanks to Wendy she made me remember I have a little play pop up princess tent for indoors that I will pull out this afternoon for Megan.

I called the school and they said they have had some meetings and will be having new policies about mixing the classes- they wont be. So the classes will take turns playing in the gym now.
They do not have high numbers at all- But I know this one boy does tend to get himself in trouble all the time. They wont talk about an individual child's issues- but I know they will no longer have her near him.
I would change her to another preschool, but I do really love this one, right now I do not have her signed up for anywhere for next year. I am on a waiting list at 2 or 3 other preschools. There aren't many in the area. I think homeschooling is popular too.

The administrator also said she will look into crediting us for the tuition of the school she has missed.


Funny story- Megan requested Taco Bell, so I indulged her, over lunch (after I just bought all the gorgeous Sis Boom fabric) Megan tells me she wants me to make white clothes for her!!!!!!!!!! i said- well maybe 1 outfit. LOL!!

Lollipopsngiggles- I love your Cinderella dress! Great start! cant wait to see more!

Lisa- I like it less full- I think when the ruffles are on the bottom of it it will feel heavy with too much gathering- I like too the taylored look fo the girls style and would want to see that carried through to the Mom's version.

Krysta-love the dress, although I dont think they used zippers back then LOL, A prairie bonnet would be cute with this too! Oh, and a pair of black little ankle boots....
This is so creative!!! Nice job!
in fact i think thats a pattern I bought and never used and will be putting on etsy to help pay off all the fabric I just bought LOL!
Sounds like you both had a nice time at the sale. Glad to see your daughter is enjoying herself with out too much activity. Can't wait to see your fabric in "action"

The civil war shirt looks great but that collar looks a little tricky. He will definetly look the part. The Big Give shirts are very nice too, how creative.
 
thank you
she said she'd like to wear it on the last day of school, i said well, why not, what can they do, send you home?!
That is funny I do the same thing. After all if i have to go through those Taks tests then they can deal with my daughters thin straps. hehehheeh
