Ashley's Order...

This order was done a while back too!! It was a very fun order!! My friend Ashley brought me blank shirts and pants and told me to do whatever I wanted!! Seriously!! So much fun!!
First outfit was for her daughter Kate! I had the matching fabric so I made her a name shirt. I used the Anna Kate zig zag applique font from Applique Momma! 

Second outfit was a slight challenge. I couldn't find any fabric to remotely match at first. I finally found some light blue cord that I used to go with some other fabrics that matched the pants. This raggy flower applique can be found at Applique Market!! This turned out to be one of Ashley's FAVORITE outfits I made!!
Next up...some Christmas shirts for her twin girls!! One loves pink and the other loves purple! A cute little tree design from Stitch on Time worked out perfect!!
Christmas shirt for her son Reed!! You can find this applique at Applique Cafe!! 
Another slight challenge with this next outfit...they don't make the fabric to match these pants anymore. However, I did find something very similar to try and match it up!! You can find this football design at Applique Cafe!!
A birthday shirt for the BIRTHDAY boy!! Simple and cute!! The applique number 2 from the Aiden font from Planet Applique and I merged in his name using the Tipsy font from Applique Frenzy!
This next outfit turned out pretty cute!! You can't really tell from the pic but the bottom of the pants are red seersucker so I used that same fabric for the part of the rocket. This design came from Applique Market. I did delete one of the steps at the end so the rocket would look similar to the one on the pants. 
And last one was this cute train applique from Embroidery Boutique!! I happened to have the exact navy cord to match the pants she brought me!! Love it when that happens!! 
And LOVE when I give all the things over and I have one HAPPY customer!! Thanks Ashley for this FUN order! Hope your kiddos are loving them just as much as you did!! 

Let's GO VOLS!!

I know football season is over....but my son is obsessed with sports and all he wants me to make him is sports things so.....I got this pull over and matching fleece pants from Children's Place. I embroidered the power T from Applique Frenzy!! Love how it turned out!! And so did Max for that matter!!
This is a simple applique from Lynnie Pinnie and I merged in VOLS using the Cleopatra font from 8 Claws and a Paw! 

Christmas Outfits!!

Christmas outfits for my kids!!
I LOVED how this one turned out!! I actually picked up these pants from a lady recently going out of business and the shirt too for that matter. Then I found this applique on Etsy to match the pants. So stinking cute and even cuter on my little princess!! The applique came from Pick and Stitch. She has other appliques to match this Michael Miller fabric too!! Check her out!!
Emery's Christmas Dress!! I scored this dress from Remember Nguyen and I embroidered the trees from Embroidery Boutique. I actually skipped the steps to add the star and ornaments and just did a simple green tree. Then I merged in the E using Curly Monogram font. I honestly have no idea where this font came from but it is super cute!!

I also made the kids some fun Santa shirts!! Max's shirt I used a new font I got called New Times Roman font from My Glam Boutique.  Love the classic look of it!! Then I merged in the mini applique hat from Applique Cafe!!
Emery's name I embroidered using the Delightful font from G G Designs and did the same hat from Applique Cafe!! Super easy and cute!! Max's blank shirt was from Walmart and Emery's was a Monag lettuce edge shirt.
I also made Max a "I Believe" shirt found in Christmas in the Valley post. 
And lastly I made this little get up!! The skirt I made using some Ann Kelle Christmas ornament fabric and some Michael Miller Ta Dot fabric. Then I made her shirt to simi match. The ornament design is from Applique Alley and I merged in the E using the Curlz font from Jolson's Designs. The blank shirt I got from Old Navy.

Holly's Order...

These are from a while back...just getting around to posting them...
My friend Holly wanted some things for her precious kids!! She brought me all the shirts and pants and told me pretty much what she wanted ;)
Noah's shirt is an applique from Embroidery Boutique and I merged in his name using the Whoa Nelly font from 8 Claws and a Paw. The scallop applique is also from Embroidery Boutique. I used the zig zag stitch and merged in the E using the Curlz font from Jolson's Designs.
Sweet little embroidery dots from G G Designs and merged in the E using the Dollhouse font from The Itch 2 Stitch!
Just a simple Curlz E from Jolson's Designs. 
And lastly a monogram font from Etsy. The shop is called Zoey's Designs and I think this one was Monogram Font 1.

getting a start of FALL stuff!!

I meant to post this a while back...however I didn't get the pants made to go with the shirt until just days before Halloween ;) Love love this cute top I made for Em. The applique is a ghost patch and it comes from Applique Market. I merged in the E using the Jelly Bean font from The Itch 2 Stitch!
Max's shirt is the bat from Embroidery Boutique. I used the zigzag option. Simple and cute!
Kids together with their adorable outfits!! I made the pants using a really easy pant pattern from Viola Lee Patterns on Etsy. It is called the Becky Lee Ruffle Pants. So so cute if you like the longer ruffle style!!
I got the black short sleeve shirts from Walmart (boys and girl) and the brown short sleeve shirt was from Old Navy. 
These pair of pants were using the same pattern. I actually made them first to see if I would like them. Turned out I LOVED them and so did Em. Anyways...the candy corn applique is from Embroidery Boutique!
And lastly, a little dress I picked up online from Monag. I used the Dollhouse font from The Itch 2 Stitch and the applique pumpkin at the bottom is from Applique Cafe! So so cute!!

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.

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.
