Brother/Sister Crab Shirts

I love it when customers ask me to do things that are out of my comfort zone. I tend to use realistic colors for applique designs and anytime I use colors that are "out of the box" so to speak, I have to ask help from Blaine.  Seriously! Blaine is fabulous at picking out colors that go together! I always ask for his opinion when I can't figure out what colors to use. This time a customer asked for these specific colors and  I think they look fabulous together!

Applique name shirt with  fabulous polka dot fabric! I'm a sucker for polka dots!

Polka dot dress with  name.

I still have a few of  these left, e-mail me to see what  sizes I have left.

More Beach Towels

This beach towel was for Cooper's teacher as a present. By the way today was Cooper's last  day of school,but I let him skip, so he officially is out for the summer!! Woo-hoo!!

(Anything Font)

And a sneak peak for Jen (the winner of my giveway)!  I am eventually going to get it to you,I promise!! LOL :)

(Bumble Bee Font)

Beach Towels

Every year I embroider beach towels for the boys for the summer.  It keeps them from fighting over which towel is theirs.  This year I found these super cute beach towels from Wal-Mart for only $5.00.  Can't beat that.   I just added their name since the towlels already had such cute designs on them.  I love these towels and think they look similiar to the pottery barn kids monogrammed beach towels for a fraction of  the cost!

Towels for Coopers Class!

Cooper's class is having an end of school party and for the favors I was asked  to do name towels for  the boys (someone else is doing the girls).  I was going to use the same color thread for all of them, but decided to use 3 colors instead and love the different color variations.  We are going to put the rolled up towels in sand buckets with a few sand toys for them to take home at the end of the party. So cute! Now they will  all be set to enjoy their summer at the beach or pool!!

Font is one of my new fonts that I really like for boys things.  It is Whoa Nelly from http://www.8clawsandapaw.com/.  She has a monthly subscription club for $20.00 and you can download as  many fonts as you like for the month.  That means over 350 fonts for $20.00.  Fabulous!!

New Seahorse Applique

When we went to the local Estuarium a while back, I just fell in love with the tiny seahorses.  So when a customer asked for a seahorse design I searched a ton of sites to find  the perfect one.  I tried it out on a t-shirt for a birthday gift and couldn't be more pleased with how cute it turned out!  Name is in Kwekel font.

Refurbished Dresses

A customer brought these A-line dresses to me to refurbish.  They previously had a monogram on them that  was picked out.  I had  to arrange the applique to cover the old monogram marks. The dresses now look brand new and so cute!

Summer outfits for Carter!

I finally had a little break in between orders to finish some of Carter's summer outfits. I am so excited to have found a new way to make lined shorts(Thanks Autumn) that turn out perfect every time! E-mail me for details on the shorts.  They are SUPER simple to make! I still have a few more outfit ideas for him to make, but at least I got a few finished.  Carter has already worn a few of them and he is just the cutest!!

Baby Galore!

This is a huge order for a customer that took every bit of  my imagination to finish it! :)  Boys are fun,but there are just not as many boy designs as girl designs to pick from.  So to think up 10 different boy designs for the bibs took a bit of effort. But I LOVE how they all turned out and Gauge will be one decked out little boy!

Easter Baskets

I don't sell these, but I just had to post because they turned out so darn cute! I took some cheap baskets with liners and took the liners apart at the seams to use as a pattern. I then used the pattern to cut a new liner out of CUTE fabric and sewed it all together. I  also made ties for the bows on the sides out of coordinating fabric. Then I spray painted the baskets brown and let  dry. Lastly I monogrammed the boys name on the front of the liner.  Voila! New Easter baskets! I LOVE how they turned out! I did one for Carter also, I just didn't get a picture of it!

Gotta love PINK!

What little girl dosen't love pink? These shirts are just right for any little pink  princess!

Polka Dot Love!

I have been going  crazy over polka dots! :)  Every time I see polka dot fabric I fall in love and have to buy it.  Now I seem to have polka dot fabric in almost every color!  Here's a sneak peak for the customer who ordered these shirts with lots of polka dots!

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!

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!
