Getting Beach Ready!!

Made a few things to take to the beach with us...FIRST up was Emery's tutu swimsuit I got at Target on clearance last year! I put her monogram on it using the Sunny Font but you can't really see it here...will have to post a pic from the beach!

This adorable fishing patch came from Applique Market. I merged the M on using the Whoa Nelly Font from 8 Paws and a Claw.
This adorable blowfish came from Applique Market as well! I just love this design!! I paired it with a little skirt I got on clearance at Target last year too! The tank is from Walmart for a mere $2!! Cute outfit for just a few bucks!! Can't beat that!

Brother/Sister beach shirts! This font is from Embroidery Boutique! I just love how these turned out! These bags were given to be a while back. They came from the Target dollar zone for $2.50 a piece. I threw an E on Emery's bag using the Curlz Font and a M on Max's using the Whoa Nelly Font. These were their bags to put toys in for the trip!


And Lastly their beach towels!!! I got both towels at Kohls for 11.99 I think. I know they were originally 19.99 and they were on sale!

Emery's name is monogrammed on using the Carmen Font from 8 Paws and a Claw.

I actually had Max's ready for his bday party but just now and posting a pic of it!

I monogrammed his name in capital letters using the Scooter Font from Jolson's Designs.

I think I could have made a few more outfits if I would have just had the time....


random sewing...

Haven't been as productive as I would like the past three weeks but have gotten a few things done here and there. This little dress I picked up at Target and threw a little "E" on there in the Sunny Font.

This is a white polo that I merged Max's initials on using the Jolson's font from Jolson's designs. I made this to go with some shorts he already had for his 3 yr photo shoot.
I also made these shorts for his 3 yr photo shoot. I love this little plaid fabric. I actually altered a pant pattern again to make his shorts. They turned out so good and fit him like a charm!

The next two things I made for my friend's little girl McKenzie for her 6th bday present! She is all about peace signs and asked me to make her one. So I made this one from Planet Applique. I used the zigzag stitch. Thought it turned out pretty cute!

And the other shirt I did for her is one of my new FAVORITES!! I love how it turned out. It is a raggy flower from Applique Market. Super cute and super easy!!

Now to do a few things for our beach trip!! Hopefully will have more to post soon!

Max's BDay Shirt

Max had a Sports Birthday Party so to stay with the theme I made him this adorable shirt!! I just love how it turned out! The design is from Planet Applique and I merged in his name using the Tipsy Topsy font from Applique Frenzy!

The 3 is on the back using the applique font Cade from Embroidery Boutique! Max of course loved that he had a number 3 on his back like a sports jersey!!
And of course I had to coordinate it with his swim trucks since we were having a sports party with a water slide!!
