Where the Wild Things are


This hotpad is made from fabric that I intended for a pillowcase. I have more of this fabric somewhere in my room, but at the moment I cannot locate it. I saw this fabric for sale on Black Friday at Joannes and it made me smile. I used to love that story when I was little and it was a rather large bolt, looking like it had not been chosen yet. 

I was happy to be the first. I found the fabric again recently and saw it was cut into the correct size squares for a hotpad. And since I am the only one that sews I knew it wasn't meant for a quilt. I made the hotpad and decided to charge a little more for the hotpad then I would for others. Since Licensed fabric costs more it is better to charge a little more for the product then when you normally would.

The link above leads to my product in my Etsy shop. It is $4.50 and there is only one. It doesn't have any favorites on the product itself, but on Twitter I have gotten lots of positive feedback about it.

This would be the perfect gift for a person who loves the Wild Things book.

Care Bear Pillowcase

Care Bear Pillowcase

The above link goes to my Etsy shop, like always. (=

This Care Bear pillowcase started as an idea for a Travel sized pillowcase. I wanted to do these when I was 14, but as I kept trying the worse my sewing got. So I stopped and saved the fabric, in case I found anything else to do with it.

Four years later I discovered the fabric again and measured it. It was actually enough for a standard size pillowcase. I found the blue fabric and bought some yellow to match it. It is a very cute pillowcase, but I am not sure how well it will do.

I don't actually know anyone that likes Care Bears anymore. I am hoping that I stumble across someone that collects it. 

I found this fabric in Justin, Texas. I used to live there and we went to that Walmart, looking for fabric. We then went to the place where they keep the last pieces and picked it up. At the time I thought Care Bears were cute, and my favorite one was the grumpy one.

I bought it and was happy to find it again. Most of the fabric I buy ends up in my fabric hoard. Once I find projects it is good for the cleanliness of my room.

Once again, Thank you for reading.
