Spring Clothes

I have been working like a crazy woman on spring clothes! Here is what I've been up to this week.



LOVE this little birdie!



I was thrilled when Kathryn requested I make her shirts like the 2 below.





For Thomas' Max and Ruby birthday party. Of course, we had to have a matching Max and Ruby bow.







By request for Miss Kathryn. She told me she wanted a "pink and purple firetruck dumptruck."



Here are a few Valentine items I appliqued two weeks ago.







Baby onesie with hand sewn on pink duck. I have short-sleeve Monag onesies in size 3-6 months and infant gowns in 0-3 months.

Thank you for your patience

I am working hard to complete all the orders I have. My family is going through a very difficult time and that is taking away from my work time since I am having to go out of town to be with them. Due to this I am taking limited orders right now. I appreciate you all being patient and I am doing my very best to get all orders out in a timely manner.

What I've been working on during my "vacation"

I clearly have a problem! I planned on taking a week or two away from sewing but have only taken about 2 days off. I just can't help myself!

Apron dresses for 2 year-old twin girls. These dresses are $28 for labor plus fabric and buttons. I already have 5 of these to make for customers for spring so I won't be able to take but a couple more orders for them.



I love the sweet piped collars.



For a firetruck birthday party.



These are what I've been working on during my "vacation."



This customer is getting an really start on her spring orders. These are bubbles she brought me.



Monogrammed onesies for triplets!!



I made this shirt for Kathryn. Lovingly, she told me "I not like that shirt Mommy." At least my hard work is appreciated ; ) I'm sure she will end up wearing it though. I plan to pair it with red knit Monag ruffle shorts. I bought these cute little bows on Etsy - aren't they adorable?



This patch is a new design that I have been testing. It is to be buttoned on to a shirt or dress. I plan to make them and change them up. Kathryn had to have the dog with a heart applique after seeing her friend Eli's shirt above. First she insisted the heart be black then she insisted the heart and the dog be pink. Since I didn't do this she said she won't wear it! The whale patch is for Thomas. FYI, I haven't attached the patch yet. When I do you will see buttons where the buttonholes are on either side of the patch.



Kathryn and Thomas' Easter shirts.



I made this about 2 months ago but had planned on making a pair of bloomer pants to match before posting a picture. I have finally come to terms with the fact that I just don't have time to make these. I am going to make bloomer shorts with green ric rac trim for Kathryn to wear this spring/summer.

MONAG ORDER

I wanted to let everyone know that I plan on placing an order with Monag next Friday, January 13. If you are interested in ordering any items for spring or summer let me know.

Here is a cute summer dress that Monag offers. I can order one for you in lavender, pink, apple green, turquoise or white.



Here is a shirt Monag offers only in short-sleeve. It is called pleated t-shirt. I can order one for you in fuchsia (shown), pink, red or white. I plan to order a couple of white ones for Kathryn to wear with ruffled skirts, where the ruffled shirts would be too much.



These knit ruffle shorts are available in brown, red, pink, blue, fuchsia, and turquoise.



This skort is available in the colors above plus sky blue.



And not to leave the boys out they have these knit shorts. They can be ordered in brown, kelley green, navy, red, royal and sky blue.



Thanks everyone!

More Valentine's Day

I wanted to share some more Valentine outfit ideas. I could do a heart applique or an initial applique out of this dot fabric (or any other fabric you want). A white monogram would also be cute. Hearts aren't just for around Valentine's Day, Kathryn still wears her heart patch appliqued shirt from last year. This little 3 inch bow is available for $5.

This dress is available in sizes 4 years and 6 years. With a monogram it is $25 and with an applique it would be $27. It's an additional $5 to add ric rac ribbon trim. I also have red long-sleeve ruffle shirts available in sizes 2 years and 6 years.



This would also be cute with the red with white dots.



As you all probably can tell I love this ribbon ric rac! The red or one of the pinks would be adorable around the waistband of one of these dresses (or around the ankle on leggings).



Pink ruffle leggings are available to match this pink dress. I love this fabric combo to spell out L-O-V-E across the chest. These 3 inch bows are available for $3.75

This pink dress is available in sizes 2 years, 4 years, and 6 years. Matching ruffle pants are available in all of these sizes. I also have a pink long-sleeve ruffle shirts available in size 6 years.



And, of course, all of these fabrics and appliques would look adorable on a white shirt as well.

And not to leave out little sister, I have this cute little pink knit romper. This would be super cute with an applique or a simple red or white monogram. This bow is $4.75. I also have a bib piped in pink that would be cute paired with this.

With a monogram this romper would be $17.50 and with an applique it would be $19.50. I have this romper in-stock in a size 6-12 months.



I just posted 10 new appliques in the 'Appliques' section (click on the link at the top of the home page).

Matching Big Brother

This is a mini embroidery design. I am going to put it on a polo shirt for a big brother. It is approximately 1.5 inches tall. I can adjust the size slightly, if desired.



The little sister is going to have this appliqued on a shirt. I have seen this done in primary color ginghams for a boy and it was really cute.

This applique can be done with or without the patch. This applique is cute for a little girl with a bow added.
