Fashionista Dreams

When Toy Story 4 was about to hit theaters my little sister asked to go see it, but she has never seen the first 3, she's only seen the shorts. So my mom told her she needed to watch the first 3 and if she liked them and could sit through them then my dad would take her.  No one expected her to make it through 1 let alone all 3 marathon style. When she finished watching all 3 she immediately asked how soon she could go. Maybe a bit of a backfire lol.  After seeing the 4th one, she could not stop talking about Bo. That is her favorite, so for Christmas she got a Bo pop, which of course had to join her in these pictures. I made her this fun skirt with large pockets, out of border print. It wasn't my original plan, but I accidentally didn't order enough for what I had thought to make for her, but I think this turned out really cute and she's thrilled with it! 

I love fabriculous  custom fabrics bamboo lycra. It is so soft like this dreamy between butter soft and silky. Its magic, cool and comfortable to be in all day here.  Now its well know I live in Hawaii, so long sleeves are not often something I often do my choice, but this fabric is that comfortable! its just so light and airy. The first time I ever got bamboo I was really nervous to work with it because its so different from other bases, not I get it in all the time.  This is the posh top from  George + Ginger , when I got this bamboo, I knew I needed to make a posh, the subtle style and added touches of the shirt at the neck, wrists, and shoulders.  Did you notice the ice? The rest reminds me of frosted glass, its amazing right?!

One of the prints I have absolutely fallen in love with is the Ice. I have yet to see it in a color that I didn't think was amazing! My mom and I tested the Mix it up collection from  George + Ginger , so of course we had to take a few photos together, and we used  Fabriculous  Ice, it gave the look a bit more flash and fancy feel.  But not too fancy... 🤣 Now this was all the way fancy! Used the Ice to make my mom this fantastic mash up of patterns ball gown. She got a lot of compliments on the color and design especially, it was an artillery ball and red is their thing.  The thing I love most about the ice design is it looks sparkly with out the headache of sewing sequins and gems or anything on it to give that effect. It is just another element of dimension and I love that in fabric.  All of the ice in this blog is cotton lycra, though they have run it in other bases too. I just really love the structure of their...

I thought this print would be perfect for my little Hawaii loving Princess sister. This movie has such a special place for us having lived here now, just a different perspective to nature, the islands and the people.  I wanted something that would show off the print really well, and be perfect for the weather here, even in January its warm and sunny most days.  Kaylee is a huge fan of the  Banana Pudding  from candy castle, so I knew it was what this panel needed to be from  Lilyrose Fabrics .
