I hit Hancock Fabrics today (South Blvd in Charlotte in case anyone is wondering) ... I FOUND MICKEY FABRIC!!!!
It's the Mickey with Blue Stars in Squares fabric ... on sale for $4.97 or something like that (licensed fabrics are all 30% off) ...
They also had a Mickey & Friends Christmas print ... it was usually $9 something a yard and wasn't coming up as on sale, but the ad didn't say it WASN'T on sale so they gave me the 30% off ...
There was a Mickey flannel print too, but I didn't get that one ...
I did pick up some Handy Manny, a Pooh & Friends Christmas print ($2.50 a yard!), Cars Christmas print ($3.00 a yard), a new Toy Story print ...
I got enough of the Mickey print to make some easy fit pants for both boys and then some, enough of the Cars print to make some shorts and then some, and smaller pieces of the others ...
They didn't have ANY Minnie Dots :-( I'm just going to have to be brave and go to Mary Jo's soon ... I want to make a peasant Minnie Top ... Minnie Dots for the body and black bust & sleeves ... think it will look as cute as I'm picturing???
Okay ... question: For those that do hand applique, do you still get designs from people? How does that work exactly? I've read the fabulous tutorial, but I'm still sort of lost
Can someone explain?
I've got an open bottle of wine and am under strict orders from my chiropractor to relax tonight (I've majorly messed up my neck and don't know how) ... so I can't play with my sewing machine like I'd hoped, but I can have fun playing around online!!!
