Title: Help!! finding fabric...
Post by: Dinobabe on December 30, 2012, 10:58:16 AM
I am looking for Disney's Lion King fabric.  I want to make a quilt.  It can be old sheets, blankets, whatever (as long as it's in decent condition).  I have been looking online but haven't really found anything.  Ebay has some but it's kinda overpriced.  I didn't see any on Etsy.  I think Joanns has some so I will look there.  I will also be perusing thrift stores.  But if you happen to see any for a good price please let me know!  Thanks bunches!!!! :-*

I bet that's going to be a cute quilt when it's done. I had some Lion King themed sheets from when I was growing up but I don't think we have them any more.

Joanne's or a Hobby Lobby might be your best bet, or possibly a WalMart if they still have their craft's section.

Joanns had Cars and some other Disney licensed fabric when I was in there last, there was a special aisle for "Licensed Fabrics". Sounds like it will be adorable when done :)

I have a quilt that mom got me when I was little. It has been sucked into my little ones blanket mound on his bed though.

Try looking for Vintage Lion King. no kidding I found a Belle quilt for my neice that way.

It's kinda funny how much of the Lion King stuff is under vintage!!

Lion King fabric got red tagged at JoAnns about ?three? years ago.  It's not current to our line of character prints.

Try Walmart, but ebay is going to be your best bet.  look for sheets and curtains in addition to just fabric.

No Lion King at Joanns (didn't have high hopes anyway).  But I did find all of the other fabrics I want for the quilt, curtains, and dust ruffle.
Looks like I need to bid on that fabric I found on ebay!
