FiM fleece blanket & skirts

[Katgyrl]

I wasn't sure where to put this, arts and crafts corral seemed a good place

The liscened fabric was on sale the other day so I picked up the last bit of some pony fleece fabric they had, and I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in me making a tie blanket for them! I have enough for a 1 1/2 yard lap blanket and a large 3 yard or standard 2 yard blanket (the fabric is 60 inches wide).

The fabric has a rainbow background, with all six characters on it (photo below). I picked a lavender color for the back, it pretty much matches Twilight's body exactly (color looks off in the photo but it's not) and was the softest one. There were several other colors that would have worked, but they were not as soft.

I was able to get both front and back fabrics at a discount, so I can offer them lower than I thought I'd have to. Normally the pony fabric is $14.99/yard and the solid color is $8.99/yard.
I would charge $25 for the 1.5 yard lap blanket, $60 for the large 3 yard blanket, and $40 for a 2 yard blanket. All would be pony fabric on front, solid lavender on back, braided or tied edges.

Here is an example of the edges I can do. Tied on the left (my hubby's LA Lakers blanket), braided on the right (my own pony blanket).

The store currently has two more fleece prints, if anyone is interested I would be happy to pick up more fabric and make more blankets.

They also had four really cute fabrics for skirts/girl desses/tops. I took a pic of the fabrics (I have close up pics if you are interested). I am happy to go back and pick some up to make a skirt for you!

If I use my coupon, I can get them for $0.30 per inch. To figure out your cost, measure your waist (or bust for a top or dress), add two inches for seam allowance, multiply by $0.30 and add $4 for labor. They are elastic around the top. I would sew up and finish off a back seam for you. I could add ribbon straps with or without bows for an additional $3. I will post a pic of a finished skirt once I get mine done.
