Gearing up for Summer

This weather and the blooming flowers are putting me in the mood for summertime! I love working on summer appliques.

The hat on the dinosaur below is a "add-on" and can be applied to other appliques such as the whale. This cute shirt is for a little boy's second birthday party.











I got the outfit below from Target for Kathryn and, of course, had to add a 'K'.




I've squeezed in a little time to make some bottoms to go with two of Kathryn's dresses. Kathryn is pointing to Tinkerbell in the picture below.


This dress below is one I made last summer. It still fits it is just very short so I made shorts in the same fabric as the carriage.



I made this shirt earlier for Kathryn in the year but just made the skirt.


This is my new fav monogram font!

Sew many orders!

Thank you to all my wonderful customers. I am not currently taking any orders until I get caught up on all of my current orders which I believe will be early May. If you have already discussed with me about placing an order I will still be taking those.

Another change I will be making is that I will no longer be appliqueing and greatly limiting my monogramming on customers' items brought to me. I say this after I destroyed a customer's shirt today. I felt horrible! I can't just replace customers' items the way I can if it is an item I provide.

I have my eye on the prize! I am working extra hard to get most orders out before I leave April 7 for our cruise.



I hope all of you have a lovely night.
