My BIGGEST order!

A friend of mine brought me a lot of things to do for her two youngest kids for the summer!

I had a lot of fun making things for her! I love how this baseball shirt turned out! I got the mini baseball design from Embroidery Boutique. I merged in two balls with the R using the Scooter Font from Jolson's Designs. I actually used the mirror image button with sew what pro so the balls looked like they were meant for a monogram. This next little outfit was a Walmart special! The shirt and skirt are Garanimals brand from Walmart. They are a whooping $3.88 a piece. I went and bought an extra skirt so that I could match the applique on the shirt. This flower is from Applique Cafe. It is super simple and I merged in Zoey's name using the Delightful Font from GG Designs.

This second outfit is also a Walmart special. I did the same thing as above. The butterfly design is also from Applique Cafe and I used the Giggles and Grin font from Applique Frenzy to merge in Zoey's name!

This adorable little dress is from Target!! Melissa actually got it from a consignment sale for 3 bucks!! I was so jealous! I love this sweet little dress! I merged Zoey's initials together using the Curlz font. This was actually one thing Melissa really said she wanted...the Curlz font. Almost everything else she told me some ideas of things she liked but told me to be creative ;)

A few more things for the baby girl!! All of these are monogrammed with Curlz font.

And this cute little owl is from Applique Market and I merged in her name using the Curlz font! I am guessing that this is one of Melissa's favorite fonts ;)

And here are a few more things for Ryan....the basketball design is from Planet Applique and I used the Whoa Nelly font from 8 Paws and Claws to merge in his name.

The baseball patch is one I made up (another idea I bummed off my friend Jessica). The square patch is from Applique Frenzy as the baseball was part of a girly patch from Applique Market. I deleted the patch and just layered the baseball onto the square patch using Sew What Pro!! Love that software!! Then I merged in Ryan's name using the Architect font from GG Designs!

And lastly another one of my favorites...a name shirt using the Cade Applique font from Embroidery Boutique!

I just love the layered look and the zig zag stitching!!! So stinking cute!

baby girl gift

Actually made this gift a while back but haven't been able to post it as it was a baby gift for a sorority sister of mine. Her best friend contacted me and asked me to make this onesie. She wanted me to make it just like a mutual friend of ours made...give a shout out to Jessica from www.lovefromtexas.com

The anchor applique is from Applique Cafe and I honestly have no idea what font I used to make her name!
I love love how they turned out!!

Our sorority is DG so these were "legacy" clothes so to speak. Hoping that Candice and Natasha loved them as much as I did!!
