Linen Snow White (Updated)

Do you have a fabric that you leave untouched just because you can't bear to cut it? That was this Snow White themed linen I bought from Lisa at This and That from Japan (check out her linen themed fabrics....bananas). I love it so much I just wanted to keep it on the shelf to look at....but I made myself cut it last night. I made this cute little Snow White skirt and matching shirt for Sienna.


I love the magenta and green colors of the Snow White theme on this linen. It might be my favorite fabric ever.


The skirt has some dainty lace on the underside so it peeks out just enough.

Update: The skirt was made using Jona's Evelyn Skirt Pattern (which is my favorite skirt pattern ever).....I just left off the contrasting band because I couldn't find any other fabric that was nice enough to pair with the linen!


The shirt was made using a freezer paper stencil and applique using the same techniques I used for the Tinkerbell skirt I made here. The tiny linen leaves and the Snow White are applique and the tree was hand stenciled using these fabric paints.

    Wow - that is a gorgeous skirt and I love the matching t-shirt!

    Very cute - can understand how difficult it would be to cut into that stuff.

    Awww! This is so cute! I bought some fabric that is a beautiful blue with Eiffle Towers on it. I had no idea what I was going to do with it when I bought it but it was too cute to pass up. I cut a few inches off of it to make one of the feathers for a Thanksgiving turkey shirt for my daughter, but I just haven't found the perfect project for the rest of it. I love your idea!

    Oh Ashley!!!!! I just love that fabric and what you've done with it.
    Snow White is my absolute favorite! Always has been.


    I know what you mean about the fabrics- I do that all the time.
    I'm trying to get better about it.
    Here's one of one projects that I had to make myself cut into the fabric- I'm so glad I did.

    1. Adorable.
    2. Do you ever take a break?
    3. I like that you created the green tree for the shirt. What a cool artsy twist. Rock on.

    Ashley! That is too cute.

    I have all kinds of fabric that I can't bear to cut. I'm not sure why. I guess I just like to look at it and no project is perfect enough to do it justice.

    And I thought all along I had some sort of fear of fabric cutting disorder... lol
