Disboutiquers Part 16 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[Stephres]

For the Vida Question. I think Stephres measure the side panels from front panel to back panel and then subtracted 2 inches from that. I think her side panel length was 6 inches and she did her elastic 4 inches. She did mention it is helpful to have your model available to measure. I did an itty bitty vida for my daughter and the side panels measured 3 or so I think and so I did like 2 inch elastic and it worked perfectly. Someone who has made a bigger size may be more help though!

Good luck!!

Jessica

Yeah, I think if you make the elastic 2/3 of what the side measures, that is a good guide and what I did. If you can try it on you can decide if it needs to be a little tighter or looser. I think if were too tight it would be bunchy though. Feel free to pm me if I can help you out further!

Then I have a bunch of this for shirts for the boys but don't know about the colour combinations?

I used this fabric to make a comforter and curtains for my bedroom. I will say that the red is pretty hard to match. It's an odd red. I do love the fabric. I actually went and used black and the gold color that is in the fabric instead of the red because I gave up trying to match it. LOL Hopefully you have better luck than I did.

Thanks all for your prayers!!!



DH got through surgery, took twice as long as they thought, but he is home! The doctor said that his gall bladder was really bad and scared.

Again, thanks for the prayers and well wishes!!

The Zebra I bought at Wal-Mart in Park City, Utah. I love it but it is busy.

Do we have a mommy of 2 here on the disboutique. I saw on a sewing forum a mommy of 2 asking about PE Design and it made me think of someone here.

If we do please PM me. I have something to share.

Today was the first day of school, I didnt think I'd have to fight crying so much. Miss Madi is in Pre K this year, Miss K is in 3rd.
Get ready for too many Miss Madi and K's

Tyler decided to run to the bus stop so I didnt take any pics of him, But I got him when he got home

I LOVE IT,
I have a 17 year old son too and I just love this age, I don't know what everyone complains about teenagers for!! My son (who just got a full 4 year scholarship) just came home from the mall with fabric for me to make his sister a skirt for Hoo De Do with, gotta love em

Congratulations to you and your son! Where is he going to school?

I agree whole heartedly about teenagers getting a bad rap! I have a 17 year old son, a 13 year old son and the 2 of them COMBINED are not half the headache my 5 yo DD is But I love them all. I also think 90% of my boys friends are awesome and great kids to be around. The other 10% are not bad...just going through some growing pains/challenges. My oldest gets off work, and calls me to see if he needs to stop at the store for us, or if he can pick up his sister from pre-k for us all of the time.

I know Teresa and I have talked about our oldest boys and how easy and proud of them we are. Her Corey seems so much like my oldest. I have enjoyed everything about the teenaged years, and watching my son and his friends become young men.

My hope is that my 11 yo DS makes it to 17 so I can see this first hand

AMEN to this!!! My 10 yo DS just make me want to . . .. . .sometimes! I sometimes tell my husband that I am having to pay for HIS raising b/c I sure didn't act like that!

This gives me hope! If feels like Zoe argues with me about everything! No matter what I say, I'm wrong. While I like for her to think for herself, this is getting so frustrating. I scrounged up money we really couldn't afford to send her to more weeks of day camp because I knew we'd drive each other crazy by the end of summer. Don't get me wrong, she is a very sweet and considerate child most of the time but constantly disagreeing with me is tiring. I know I'm the adult and should be able to handle this but I've resorted to 'the silent treatment' on more than one occasion when it seemed everything I said was contradicted.

Uh...are you sure we don't have the SAME daughter? My oldest daughter (now 26) didn't give me anywhere near this much grief! We always say this DD9 is 9 going on 18...my husband said when she reaches her teen years he is leaving home! I sometimes wonder if I will make it until she makes her teen years! Of course at the same time Daddy doesn't think she can do any wrong!

Hang in there ladies Let me just say, we really should have stopped at 2 children if we wanted an easy going parenting experience. I love my DD but she is definately MORE of everything than the boys were and are. She is more snuggles, more kisses, more giggles...... more entertaining..... more trying, more tempermental, more frustrating. MY DH says that I will be going through menopause when she is going through her teenage years and that we will be lucky if the house is still standing when we get through those times AND I'm pretty sure it's all his fault anyway. I know I had a headache that night

Happy 8th Birthday to Ireland

(this picture was from her little party last year)this year, she shared her birthday with her Grandma.
Miss Ireland is heading to Disney tomorrow for her "free" day. She has her new birthday custom all ready thanks to Heather Sue. I can't wait to have her wear it. I was a bad mommy and finished sewing it today. and never did get around to making hairbows...
We will be gone 4 days but hopefully we will have lots of pictures to post when we get back!

That person is the tropical shirt is not me...LOL, it's my mom.

What is truly funny is my second son is just like me! WEll if they had let me alone long enough Funny thing is, I just "get" him on a whole other level...so it works out great for he and I. Now my daughter....she is my MOTHER! Yes she is! My sister and I both swear by that, and let me tell you...in my circumstance....that is a way cruler joke than if my DD had been like me. What is hysterical, is my mom and DD butt heads already Two peas in a pod don't always have enough room to grow!!!!

Ok, I'm getting ready to sew my first Carla C. A-line top. I have it cut out and ready to go. I don't see many posted on here that other people have done; is there a reason for this?? Is it a hard pattern? I've gotten the simply sweet down pat and the A-line looks like a lot less time consuming. Does anyone have pics to post of any A-lines??

I love the pattern but I have only made it for my daughter a couple of times. Because it is fully lined it is a little hot for us in Florida and you have to wear sleeves to school so she has to wear a t-shirt underneath it as well. I think it is totally cute though (and easy), especially on the little ones! I have made the dolly version for my daughter's AG doll several times.

I also used it to make this fake-vida, lol.

Carla's A Line is what we chose for my DD8's first attempt at making a dress. It turned out perfect! I have now made about 8 of them, not including doll dresses. I do think they look nicer on younger girls. The ones for my granddaughter (age 2) look better than those we made for my DD8, but that may just be my personal preference.

They are very easy, and I can now whip one up in about 15 minutes (not including cutting time)! I love it!
