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!

A few new things I'm offering!

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.

Thomas' Clothes!

I accidentally left two of his shirts out of the pic. I think he is set! Now I need to get to work on Kathryn's summer wardrobe.



Another new post below.

Customer Pic!

Lots of Summer Clothes

Can you believe Easter is less than 5 weeks away? Ma (my mom) got busy this weekend smocking Miss Kathryn a beautiful Easter dress. She is so amazingly talented at smocking I will definitely have to post a picture of Kathryn in the dress.



For a little girl that adores Clifford. Aren't the bows on the sleeves precious?



Kathryn and her little friend, LA, are going to look so cute in their matching Old Navy dresses. The one on the left is Uniblock and Kathryn's dress is in the Curly Q font.




For "my babies" to match for the fourth of July.



For Kathryn to wear on our Disney cruise in April. She told me she is going to wear it on the boat and that she is going to turn the wheel on the boat.

I purchased these at Target. Each piece is only $12. I am pairing it with pink crocs and a hot pink bow.



This shirt was provided by the customer. This font is Curlz.



I believe this is in the Block font. This customer is decorating her new baby's nursery in yellow and gray as a break from all the pink. I love that idea.




A customer brought me this fabric below and wanted me to make a gender neutral baby gown and matching shirt for the big brother. I think the cross applique is so sweet, especially on a newborn.



I have 2 more of these royal blue shirts in a size 4. The applique on the left is called Circle Monogram Applique and is the hot new thing in the applique world.



Another example of the Circle Monogram Applique.



The font on the shorts is Gregory.





This is the final outfit I have made for Thomas for the summer. I have made him a total 17 appliqued shirts, 3 embroidered polos and 5 shorts. I think he is pretty set ; )

And another circle monogram applique.




I just adore these polos. I have 3 available in size 4 years.
