Minnie Mouse!!

While I was having a Chickalicious adventure last week with my friend, the crafty Kyla, I mentioned I'd been wanting to do some Disney potholders, but hadn't found any fabric I liked. She suggested I create a Minnie potholder, like the cupcake set I had made, with an applique. I was so excited to try it! I could picture it in my head, like the cupcake potholder that started it all.

I freehanded a head and bow...

voila!

Of all the polka dotted fabrics, I have always been drawn to Minnie's Red with White.

This one's for you Minnie!

Creating the Cupcake

I am passionate about a few things in my life. My family, fabric, ribbon, plants, and FOOD! Most especially cupcakes. I love them. I love the frosting. I love the look of them. I love that it's already packaged for consumption just for me. No cutting, no plate necessary. Just peel and eat. Perfect. So of course I wanted to combine my love of cupcakes with my love for sewing. I looked high and low for a cupcake pattern on the Internet, for free of course, but couldn't find one. So I made one.

Then I cut them out of fabrics and played around with different patterns together.

And I think they turned out pretty cute!

For these and other cute potholders, check out my Etsy shop!
