i really really like mickey mouse and still wear clothing with mickey mouse on it until i was in senior high school. so, when i browse for fabrics on ebay, my eyes were stunned when i saw this mickey on white, cotton knit, 1.5mx1.20m, and it was a buy it now for $3. without further consideration, i clicked the button, and the fabric became mine. and what made it even better, the seller lives in northern suburbs of perth, (like me and it was only like 10km from our place), she speaks indonesian too, and she offered for pick up so i can save on postage YAY!!!!
it's mickey happy face, he's smiling and you can see a little bit of his red tongue and would be noelle's very first mickey mouse. the fabric has been sitting on my stash for about 3 months, and finally today i made something out of it. i purchased a red fleece binding because i want to make a sweatshirt for noelle, and for her big noggin i knew i will use the envelope opening just like neck opening on onesie. and the red binding looks great on the sweatshirt, i sew it as binding on the neck, arm and hem. oh and i handstitched an applique in the shape of mickey head (sillhouette) on the chest too..
i am glad the sweatshirt fit perfectly on her (and hopefully until next winter) because i just traced her existing t-shirt as the pattern.
still got leftover fabrics and i want to make one or two onesies for her because i never find onesie for 2T. finger crossing..
