Weekend Skirt Creations!

Some new creations from the weekend! I found this lime green dotted fabric while at my local thrift store on Saturday (which I love). It was a sundress of sorts - rather ugly, actually, with this yucky green lacy stuff all over. But the fabric itself was very cute. So I bought it ,and after washing it, cut it into a skirt. I added some ribbing I had on hand and then mixed some fabric paint Itogether - red, white, and blue - to make the kitties. I had just had a customer tell me the day before that she liked my cat themed clothing in Catcalls, but there were no plus sizes, so this is, hopefully, the beginning of more of those sizes. It was quite fun to make! 




Not to leave my Dogbarks shop out of the fun, I pulled out the left over flannel you see here, and after looking it over, decided a skirt would be a cute creation for this remnant as well. So I did the same thing again, adding pockets and a waistband from a black t-shirt. It's very comfy! 



Just click on the pictures to find more info on them. 

So what did YOU create this past weekend?

My Handmade Pink & Green Cat Fabric



I have a number of leftover pillowcase liners from my 'stuffing' of  cats and dogs in my shops. I buy regular pillows and use the fill for all my pillow pals and plushies. So I have all these liners that I have kept for various things. The most recent ones I have collected are a 60% cotton/40% polyester medium weight fabric. Much heavier than the  muslin that normally encases the polyfil. So I made my own fabric print! 





I used green fabric pastels for the circles, black ink for the cats, then I took a thread spool and added petals around each circle with pink paint.



 Each cat is different! So now I am thinking...what will I make with this 24" x 18" fabric? I thought a pillow sham might be nice with a pink envelope back and ruffle. But I also have more pieces and thought perhaps a summer top would be cute, too. So, I am looking for suggestions! 
What do you think?
