head start on summer clothes...

This post has been on my "To Do" list for some time now...I haven't actually made anything in the past few weeks. Most of this was done in March and beginning of April ;)
First dress...from Old Navy. I just slapped a cute monogram on it using Zoey's Designs Monogram 1 font!
This dress is from Just Blanks and I put this sweet sweet applique on it from Applique Cafe! I am actually going to use this as a dress/cover up for my daughter this summer!
Dress #3 is also from Old Navy! I put the Anchor applique from Applique Cafe and merged her name together using the Dollhouse font from The Itch 2 Stitch. I should have made the name bigger...but you live and learn right?! Still cute none the less!
4th item is a tank from Garanimals that I put the raggy cross on from Embroidery Boutique. The skirt is also Garanimals from Walmart!!
5th item is a Just Blanks dress. I just put a bold Curlz E on it 8 Claws and a Paw.
6th outfit is a tank from Old Navy (found on clearance last yr for 2 bucks!) and these shorts are from Smockadots (another deal/end of yr clearance I think I got for $10) I used the ice cream patch applique from The Itch 2 Stitch. It didn't turn out to be my favorite fabric choices. I really want to get some new fun chevron fabrics for appliques. I have a few but now there are so many more options!! I have been getting a lot of my fabrics from TJ fabrics online!! It is a GREAT source for online fabrics!! Love it!!
7th outfit is a shirt from Blanks Boutique and a skirt from Kelly's Kids. I actually picked the skirt up at the sale I went to last yr and just decided to put a simple tee with a monogram with it. I used the Monogram 1 font from Zoey's Designs again! Just love this monogram for Em!!
8th outfit is a dress from Kelly's Kids that I picked up at the sale. I put a Curlz E on using my Curlz font from Jolson's Designs.
Outfits 9 and 10 I picked up on clearance at The Happy Heart in Arlington. I put a Curlz E on the purple outfit using the Curlz font from Jolson's Designs and put a Girly E on the turquoise outfit using a girly font from My Glam Boutique!
And lastly outfit 11...MY FAVE!! My first attempt at a tank dress. I used a Old Navy tank (another one I picked up last yr for 2 bucks) and cut it off and added fabric to the bottom. It turned out so stinking cute and I just LOVE it on Emery!! Can't wait to take some pics of her at the beach in this sweet dress!! Again I used the Monogram font 1 from Zoey's Designs.
Now to get back sewing all the other things I want to make her for our beach trip and this summer.....
