All Boy!!

My sister-in-law came down for the weekend and on Saturday we had an all day sewfest!  She sewed and I embroidered and we managed to get almost five outfits completed for her son.  All of this was in the midst of 6 kids running around in complete chaos! We had a blast though as always and she was very excited with the end result of the outfits! 

What a cutie crab!  Applique from http://www.embroidery-boutique.com/

This is the Martha Pullen jon-jon pattern(Martha Pullen's favorite applique book).  I  highly reccomend it for a beginner sewer.  It is fully lined and and is so simple to put together.  Anchor from http://www.embroidery-boutique.com/ and initials in Boyz Are Gross font. I don't make jon-jons for sale, sorry :(  I only make them for my boys and family. I just don't have the time to devote to sewing large orders of them. 

Fishing lure with initials from http://www.appliquecafe.com/.  I love the initials hanging off  the lure.  My sister-in-law named all her kids with ABC initials, so no we were not just going with a alphabet theme! LOL :)

Cute sailboat from http://www.sewforum.com/. This was our last  jon-jon that we got cut out and appliqued, but we didn't have time to sew it together.

Spring fever!

                                                      Butterfly applique in polka dot colors!

Polka dot circle with Bumble Bee font.

Yummy ice cream cone with different colors of fabric.                                    

New Cupcake applique! I just fell in love with this cupcake fabric!

Cute backpack with name in Fairytale font! I don't offer these backpacks, one of my customers brought it to me to embroider.

Hippity Hoppity, Easter is on its way!

Isn't this the cutest bunny ever? I haven't had many orders for Easter items so I was super excited to get to test this little bunny out! (Bunny from http://www.appliquecafe.com/) I also got a chance to use one of my new fonts it is called Kwekel Font. It is  from http://www.8clawsandapaw.com/.

And for the boys a fishing lure for daddy's little fishing buddy! (Fishing lure from http://www.appliquecafe.com/) It would look really cute with initials hanging off the hooks.

Lastly a cute flip-flop towel to take to the swimming pool! The flip-flop design is a new design I am adding to my ever growing collection of applique designs. It is from http://www.embroidery-boutique.com/.

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!

I embroidered these two blankets for my sister to give to her daughter and a friend's son as a special gift for their Baptism!  Hopefully Gabbie knows I am thinking about her even though I can't be there! Enjoy your blanket Gabbie and I hope you have a special day!!

Name is embroidered in Delightful font(I have one of these blankets available for personalization if interested-$20.00 with name in font of choice) I picked up two since they were  so cute! I only have one so first come first serve, just e-mail me.

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...

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!

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.
