Shirts Galore!

I am sure you are tired of seeing shirts, shirts and more shirts. But I have received so many orders for them and just have to share the cutest ones!  I promise as soon as I get some of these orders out of  the way I will get more creative and post some new stuff other than shirts! :)  I already have some great  ideas for my boys for the summer! Anyway on to the shirts! Some of  these are previously posted designs just with different  fabric variations!

Taylor Applique Font

Here is a preview of the Taylor applique font stitched out. I can't wait to make some brown gingham shorts to match for my son! It will be the beginning of his summer wardrobe. This applique would look really cute in girl colors also.

*NEW* Applique Name Shirts

I am very excited to introduce Applique Name Shirts! These can be done with 3 coordinating fabrics and for a name up to 6 letters. They will be offered in gingham fabrics of girl colors or boy colors. These shirts will run higher than my regular shirts because they take more time (each letter is a seperate applique with different fabric) and require me to hoop twice, so check out the price to the right. They will be appliqued in Cherie font. Applique name shirt is shown in Cherie applique font in boy colors.

For the boys...

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!

Go Wild and Princess Ella!

Mouse shirt for a customer who is going to Disney World for the Animal Kingdom. Zebra and hot pink look really good together! Mouse applique from http://www.stitchontime.com/. Disney font from http://www.embroideryfontshop.com/.

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.

Non-traditional colors

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.

The finished projects

Cherie applique font from http://www.jolsonsdesigns.com/. This site is fabulous. All of their fonts are ONLY $3.00 each!

Resort font from http://www.8clawsandapaw.com/ . I tried something different by adding a ruffle to the bottom of the burp rag.

Love font and Curlz font. I have had these fonts for a LONG time so I am not sure where they came from.

Minky dot bib (my design) and burp cloth with Girls are weird font. The name Ava was a freebie from http://www.sewforum.com/. For the burp rag I sewed the minky dot fabric down the center of the burp rag for a boutique look.
Cherie applique font from http://www.jolsonsdesigns.com/. Again, home of the $3.00 fonts!

Same font as above, but just wanted to add these onesies came from the Dollar Tree! What a fabulous find for $1.00.

Can't remember where the design is from, but as soon as I find it I will post it.

A fun way to trade!

A recently came across an add on craigslist where a lady who sells Mary Kay makeup was wanting to trade makeup for handmade items (bows, clothes, etc.). I use Mary Kay makeup and thought it sounded like a fun idea. Mary Kay makeup is not cheap if bought at full price, so I figured I could embroider some items for her and I would get my make-up for a fraction of the cost. Today we met at McDonalds and swaped items. It was such a fun way to trade items. I got my makeup and she got some cute embroidered items! (By the way, I looked the lady up on the Mary Kay website before I aggreed to the deal, she was a reputable Mary Kay seller.)

Boys R Gross font with football applique from http://www.sewforum.com/.

Minky dot blanket with Carmen font from http://www.8clawsandapaw.com/.

Pillowcase dress with fluttersleeves pattern from www.pinchingyourpennies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88150

The only thing I changed was the size of the sleeves. I cut out a 4 1/2in by 9 1/2in rectangle for each sleeve before hemmed and ruffled the bottom material before attaching.
