I had a cool red bed and these awesome sheets. They were like Power Rangers! Somebody in my familys house burnt down, so I donated my bed and awesome sheets. I didn't mind too much. Just thought I'd share.

I'm actually insanely jealous of those goosebump sheets, how are you going to go about the hoodie? Like for the lining, or the whole hoodie with the pattern?

Goosebumps!!! HOLY CRAP!
Man, the dresses in that tutorial you linked to look awesome... I went looking last night for some sheets to try it with, but no luck. :( I'm definitely admiring your stash right now! The bugs life ones are my favorite. ^_^

Hey man, I saw your hoodies, and they're the shit. Question, though: how do you construct the cuffs? what material do you use? i'm in a snaggle right now...

they are so kool!!
i especially love the pokemon- that would make a kool dress (H)
nearly all those sheets remind me of my childhood (90's kid yey!)
but yh you can make anything you want! hoodies would be immensly kool though

OMG! I have the beauty and beast bed set! Both my sister and I do! We even have the pillows that one side is normal Belle and the other is glamour Belle! My mom put them on hold in October so we could have them for Christmas when they came out! I still sleep with mine.... :)
Sorry....
I'm trying to get my boyfriend to come thrifting with me... He doesn't mind antique-ing but apparently doing the same thing with clothes is boring even though the last time we went we found him a top hat....
Sorry....Again...
Make dresses... or skirts... or bags... undergarments could be awesome... book covers... binder covers... pj pants....
Oh and I know someone who has the Goosebumps...!!!
Sorry I just finished a Rockstar.. First caffeine I've had since the 1st of Jan.

I really just need to say, how much i FREAKING LOVE the goosebumps sheets. I loved the night of the living dummy books. (actually, I was about 10 when all those books started coming out and bought a new one every week. I have HEAPS of them).

love the goosebumps and bugs life ones
Love it.
I bet you got some weird looks buying all those. "Normal" people just don't understand a threadhead's need for crazy awesome fabric lol
