"Mom! Let's make Mickey Mouse pajamas for our Disney adventure."
We quickly rustled through the pattern file and voila! This is perfect.
Next, we hop into the car chatting and giggling all the way to the fabric store.. We look at three aisles of flannel fabric and find...nothing. "Maybe we can use solid red flannel" I hinted.
"No, that just wouldn't be the same." she said softly.
"Ok then, let's look around more."
And what to my wondering eyes should appear? Across the store a sign: Character Fabrics. I point it out to her and we make a bee line like two sprinters in a track and field relay. Sure enough there's Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White fabric. There's Tinkerbell and Cars. We turn the corner and there's the perfect Mickey Mouse flannel fabric. Six yards of it ought to do the trick. Enough for 2 pair of pajamas.
We get home and cut it out. Pin it together and sew a couple straight seams.
Looking at her sporting big, flannel, Mickey jammies and I know it's not just speculation-- she's a sleeping beauty!
