Shirts for Christmas in the Valley!

Like I said I have been busy these last few weeks!! Tracy and I also made some shirts to have at sale. We tried to do simple designs that were cute!!
First design is a layered Christmas tree applique from Applique Momma. I did the zigzag option. Love love how this turned out!!
Next...a little raggy pumpkin applique design from Embroidery Boutique!
The zigzag football design again :) This is from Applique Cafe.

Both the football goal and football with grass below are from Applique Cafe!! All boy designs!!

This cute little turkey has been POPULAR!! The design came from Applique Momma and I used the zigzag option for most of my shirts!

The snowman applique and santa came from Embroidery Boutique!!
And lastly this little reindeer applique. I found him at Stitch on Time. He is pretty cute but both the Santa and Reindeer were a little time comsuming so I didn't make but one of each of these for the show.
There were a few more designs that I did...will have to add them to this post asap.
As for people wanting to know where I got my blank shirts. A lot of them are actually from Walmart. Garanimals brand t-shirts. Some I got from Monag. And a few others are from Target.

another big order...

Somehow I forgot to post this blog post a while back....
This was another big order for my friend Melissa. She brought me this cute little dress to add an applique and initial too. We came up with this adorable owl applique from Applique Cafe! The Z is done using the Curlz font!
Gumball machine applique is from Planet Applique!! It is a fun one to do as you can use real buttons to fill the inside with or there is an option to do embroidery gumballs too!

I did this football and soccer ball before. Zigzag football and the soccer design are both from Applique Cafe!
With this order I got to try out my good friend Tracy's NEW 6 needle machine!!
It was so AMAZING and I can't wait to get one.....one day.....
We made quite a few of these shirts for Melissa and her son's baseball team!!
I made the SOX design using the Cade Applique Font from Embroidery Boutique. Turned out so cute!!
All the little ones I made on my machine. I used the baseball design from Applique Market and then I added it to a square patch for the boy shirt. The font used on the black dresses and onesie is Green Bean front from Applique Frenzy. The one on the white shirt is Cleopatra from 8 Claws and a Paw.

Towels for Christmas in the Valley!

Been VERY BUSY lately!! My good friend Tracy asked me to help her out with a little craft show that she was participating in. I said SURE!! So we decided to have towels for sale at the show so we got busy making these!! First up is an applique from Applique Market!!
This pumpkin applique is from Applique Market as well. However, using Sew What Pro I deleted the scallop patch that was with the design! So cute!
This little zigzag turkey applique is from Applique Momma! This was everyone's favorite as this little guy SOLD OUT at the show!!
The raggy ornament applique is from Applique Cafe!
The christmas tree applique is from Embroidery Boutique....
as well as this zigzag cross design below!!
I think we ended up making almost 80 towels for the sale!! So much fun!!

Apples...apples...

I got this cute little dress from a Kelly's Kids Warehouse sale I went to a while back. I think it was $15 bucks or so. I have been wanting to put something on the tab so I decided on some apples with Emery's initial in the middle. I used this embroidery apple design from Applique Momma. Then using Sew What Pro I flipped the image. The letter E is from my Curly Monogram Font I have....not sure where I got it from.
Love how it turned out!!

Minnie Birthday!!

This is a little late as my daughter's birthday was back in August!!
Made this cute little outfit using the Minnie applique from Applique Market. I merged in her name using Walt Disney Font from 8 Claws and a Paw. The t-shirt is from Blanks Boutique!! Loving this new place for blanks!!
I made the skirt using the Easy Skirt Pattern from You Can Make This. Com!! So simple and cute!!

Memphis Tigers and TN Vols!!

My husband graduated from Memphis and I graduated from UT Knoxville so here's to supporting both them!! The first design is something I merged together. It is the Cade Applique Font from Embroidery Boutique. I did the zig zag stitch. 

Second shirt is something I do before. I just changed up the font. The applique comes from Applique Cafe and I merged in Go Tigers using the love letters font from Jolson's Designs. So cute!!

last minute beach outfits!!

We headed to the beach late this year (Sept 15-22) so I waited to do some of the kids outfits before we went so that they would look nice. First up was a swimsuit I got on clearance at Target! Can't beat that!! I threw Emery's monogram on it and I LOVE how it turned out!!
I already made this skirt for Emery's 2 yr birthday outfit so I made another shirt to go with it. I am loving these ruffle tees from Blanks Boutique!!
Cute little happy fish applique can be found at Applique Cafe!
Another skirt I already had made for Emery. I threw a crab on a shirt to go with it. This sweet little crab applique came from JuJu Designs. I used Sew What Pro to tilt him to the side. Turned out cute!
And lastly another clearance item. Found this dress at Old Navy for 3 bucks! Threw a Curlz E on it and instant cuteness!!
