Disney x Thomas Kinkade Mickey and Minnie Mouse Quilt Panel- Fabric and Future Plans
Hi everyone! A few years ago, I noticed the Walmart location I normally shop at had a fabric panel for sale. It is part of the Disney x Thomas Kinkade collection. It features Micky and Minnie Mouse on a picnic, as depicted by Thomas Kinkade Studios. I really liked this panel, but I thought I didn’t need another fabric panel to work on. After walking by it for many months, I decided to purchase it and a coordinating fabric to create a wall hanger.

A few years ago, after I decided to make Belle’s dress from the live action version of Beauty and the Beast, I decided to buy all the things I needed to make the dress. The major supply I needed to buy is the fabric to make the dress.

Making Belle’s Beauty and the Beast Live Action Movie Yellow Ballgown Part 1: The Pattern & How I’m Adding Sleeves
In a previous post, I talked about making Belle’s yellow ballgown from the live action version of Beauty and the Beat. When I saw the dress, I, like a lot of people, didn’t like it. To me, it looked more prom dress that was inspired by Belle’s ballgown than Belle’s actual ballgown. It didn’t fit it very well with the other character’s costumes and the time period those costumes are inspired by. Despite this, the dress began to really grow on me. In fact, it grew on me so much, I purchased a Simplicity sewing pattern of the dress and fabric to make myself one. Even though I felt very…

5 Costumes I Would Like to Make in 2021
It’s almost the end of July, but I would like to make something to wear for Halloween. I like to plan and make Halloween costumes early because my work load can be inconsistent, so there is always a chance I cannot work on a costume in October. For many years I had to scrap my Halloween sewing plans for a variety of reasons, mostly work or health related, but I wanted to change that for 2021. This year, I narrowed down my list of to-make costumes to five. (Actually, it’s five and two maybes. While writing this post I remembered there are two “costumes” that I wanted to make, but…

Simplicity x Disney’s Cruella Sewing Patterns at Joann’s
Hi everyone! Recently, I received an email that Joann’s has exclusive fabric and sewing patterns inspired by Disney’s new movie, Cruella. I was curious, so when I had the chance to go to Joann’s, I went to see the patterns. I found the patterns in a display located on the table where the pattern books are…

Frozen 2 Learn to Sew Olaf Body Pillow Finished and Video
It’s been a few weeks since I mentioned that I sewed an Olaf body pillow using a Frozen 2 Learn to Sew kit I found at Walmart. Since Frozen 2 will be in theaters later this week, I wanted to show what the pillow looks like when it’s all done. Here is Olaf’s front… And Olaf’s back… I’m very happy with the way the pillow turned out. It isn’t as big as some body pillows I saw in store, but I know that this is the right size for a child to use as a body pillow. I’m glad the pillow is so small because I hope to give it…

Digital Coloring Practice- Marie from The Aristocats
Hi everyone! I’ve been in a huge personal art slump for a long time. In order to get myself out of my slump, I started to get back into digital painting. It’s been many months since I worked with Photoshop for painting, and it’s been even longer since I actually used it to not just color, but actually paint a whole entire painting in the program. Since I was so rusty, I decided to begin practicing by coloring coloring pages I found online. Years ago (Maybe 2011/2012?), I used to see artist on DeviantART take scans of Disney coloring pages and color them in a digital program. I used to…

1970’s Elsa Skirt
A few months ago, I had plans to go to a pop culture convention with some friends of mine. Since I’m loosing weight, the only “geeky” clothes that fit me was a few t-shirts and my Tardis jumper skirt. I had some time at that time, so I began working on new skirts and costumes I could make and finish in time to wear to the convention. Unfortunately, the convention plans ended up falling through and in my disappointment, I set everything I sewed to wear to the convention aside. This week, I began to drag all my unfinished projects I worked on for the convention out so I could…

Merida Pencil Drawing
Back in 2013, after entering the Phoenix Comicon’s badge art contest, I decided to make plans for PCC’s 2014 badge art contest. I wanted to enter a Disney drawing because there wasn’t a Disney representation in 2013’s voted-on entries. I ended up drawing two drawings, one of Merida from Brave and the other of Rapunzel from Tangled. Unfortunately, in 2014 PCC didn’t hold an badge art contest and I don’t believe they will hold them anymore. (The didn’t for the 2015 convention) Because of this, the two drawings I planned on entering in the contest were left in my sketch books uncolored and untouched. A few weeks ago, while going…

Cinderella Art Nouveau Poster
I haven’t been able to make as many original blog posts I’d like to online because of personal problems. I’ve talked about it a little on Tumblr, but besides that I haven’t mentioned it anywhere else. I don’t want to talk about what happened until everything related to it clears up and since that hasn’t happened yet, I’m not talking about it. Anyway, the personal problems caused me to miss Taiyou Con a week or so ago and jeopardized attending the Arizona Renaissance Festival this year. I’m not happy about it and I’ve been successfully distracting myself by sewing. A lot. Since I’ve been sewing so much, I haven’t been…
