I am no longer selling my creations to the general public. I am taking a break from making my items for sell and am enjoying making them again at my own time and leisure. I will still be posting items that I have made for friends, family and myself but I am not taking anymore customer orders. Sorry for the inconvenience! Thanks to all of my loyal customers who bought from me in the past. I had a lot of fun creating unique embroidery items for you!
Since I have been doing so many girl designs, it is high time for the boys to be represented. Here are a few designs that I have been doing with boy themes. Cute dinosaur applique from http://www.appliquecafe.com/. I used green seersucker for the applique.
Santa Clause applique from http://www.sewforum.com/. Don't you just love Santa's Minky dot fabric beard?
My favorite! My boys will be wearing rudolph this year! Rudolph applique from http://www.fivestarfonts.com/. I really like the brown gingham fabric antlers!
Princess shirt with crown applique from http://www.appliquecafe.com/. I added the word princess, that is not part of original design. I used minky dot fabric on the top and bottom of the applique. Can you tell I really like the minky dot fabric?! I seem to be using it on all my appliques lately.
Tip on using the minky dot: always use a sticky stabilizer on the back of the minky dot before appliqueing. It keeps it from stretching or moving in the applique process. Also DO NOT use a iron on the minky dot, it melts it and it loses its softness.
Here are some more Thanksgiving/Christmas shirts in non-traditional colors. I love the hot pink/lime green for Christmas for girls. I also made a hot pink/lime green bow to match.
I can't believe the Holidays are so close at hand. I have been working hard this week, to finish up Thanksgiving and Christmas orders so that we can leave on vacation in a couple of weeks,YEA!!
Here are some new designs I have been working on! I love using minky dot fabric for appliques! The kids seem to like it also, since it feels so soft.
Cherie applique from http://www.jolsonsdesigns.com/ with brown minky dot fabric. Apex font from http://www.apexembdesigns.com/.
Bird applique from http://www.sewforum.com/ also with brown minky dot fabric. Pinafore font (can't remember where it came from)
Purse applique from http://www.ginabugs.com/. IfI had a little girl I wouldn't want to part with this shirt! It turned out so cute! Pink minky dot fabric on top part of purse with Curlz font initial.
Follow these washing instructions for your applique and embroidery items and they will keep looking brand new through many washes!
Wash on normal setting with COLD water
Dry on LOW setting or lay flat to dry
Warm iron if needed (do NOT iron over minky dot or fluffy material if used in applique)
