Disboutiquer's Fabric Swap!

[mrsklamc]

I am in desperate need of cotton Hello Kitty fabric to make a little wristlet for a silent auction basket for school. I just need a little bit, quarter yard at most, and I would be willing to trade for anything disney/character that I have. I need it pretty quick, so if I don't hear anything soon I'll have to start checking on-line. Thanks friends!

I have some you can just have, if you PM me your address. I think it should be enough for a wristlet.

You don't have to send me anything in return but I am always looking for more character scraps for a quilt!

Oh really? I was just in there today and saw Strawberry Shortcake but no Hello Kitty. Thank you for checking!

 

[playswithstars]

OH no! I just saw it somewhere and now I can't remember if it was JoAnns or Walmart. I think it was JoAnns. I'll run by there and check.

It was probably Jo-Ann's because I saw some some there while I was there getting my fleece.

Thanks so much. I was hoping to get the scraps together tonight but both DD's are sick and I had to make bag for a charity auction. I did pull some out when I was looking for fabric for my bag.

Not that you asked me but I'll interject my thoughts on this. Here is the one I made and I learned a few things.

I would make sure to cut just outside the square and leave a small seam allowance if you can (making sure it won't show though once you sew). I did larger panels with smaller strips in the middle (think mine were 3 inches but I really don't remember now). This is a size 3t in the picture though. I just sewed the panels just like they were fabric meant for the skirt. Did that make sense?

I am not sure how thick your book is but I found that fabric kind of thin so did an underskirt. On CITH skirt I just did I lined the striped fabric when sewing together because it was so thin.

Thanks so much...I will cut a little big and do an underskirt!

Hi! I made that for my tomboy-she was 5 1/2-about a size 6. I certainly wasn't the first to make a storybook skirt so don't worry about casing. I did just cut it out the panels with seam allowance and used it as fabric. That was trickier than you would think because the panels are printed very well on the fabric. I used 1/4 inch seam allowance. I just did some measurements on it for you.

The storybook panels were cut 7 1/2" wide by 9 1/2" long-so finished to 7" x 9" with 1/4" seam allowances on all sides. I used 2" strips between the panels (cut 2 1/2"). So 8 panels at 7" plus 8 strips at 2" adds up to 72" total around.

I cut the waistband piece 36" wide by 6" which was 4 1/2" finished after I did the elastic casing.

The ruffle I cut 144" long by 4 1/2". I pressed it in half before added the skirt with 1/4" seam so it was 2" finished.

The finished skirt was 15 1/2" long-4 1/2" waistband, 9" storybook, 2" ruffle. It could have a bit longer on DD.

After I finished it I wished I had sewn the 72" storybook section onto a 72" panel and then had gathered that onto the 36" waistband. I think you could have seen the storybook panels better if I had done that rather than gather the storybook panels.

I used Carla's Simply Sweet to make the top. I made it too long and too straight. I have to go download the revised Simply Sweet pattern to get the pattern for the more A-line top.

Hope I didn't make it sound too confusing!

Oh this is VERY helpful! You did all the math for me and everything!!! Thanks so much! I will try adding a waistband panel then the story book panels and strips and then the ruffle part with an underskirt. I also like when people fold over seam binding on the top layer and then do an underskirt a little longer with a ruffle sticking out!

Cathy-I used similar fabrics from the storybook outfit to make my DD(9) a more sophisticated Mickey/Minnie outfit for Chef Mickey's.

Oh this is VERY cute! I am doing similar stuff since I have a "will be 11 yr old". I can't do it too young or she won't wear it. But that is cute!

HELP I am looking for a square of the famous Mickey swirl fabric. It is for an applique for a Big Give. I just need enough for a mickey head for a tee shirt. Does anyone have a 10"x10" or even 8"x8" square they could spare for a Big Give? The girl loves hot pink and lime green and peace signs so I bought a hot pink tee and want to use this fabric for the peace sign mickey head. PLEASE let me know if you can help me out. I'd happily send you a square of something. Thanks!
