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.....

easter outfits!!

Made a few shirts for Ms Emery for Easter!! She had visit from the Easter bunny one day at school and an Easter egg hunt one day so I made a shirt for each day ;) 

This cute little bunny applique came from Applique Cafe. I used minky fabric for the bunny which was Emery's favorite part!! She loved how soft her "oh so cute" bunny was!! Shirt and pants are from Monag. I love love love these cotton ruffle pants for girls!! They are so soft and just really seem so comfortable!

This other adorable Easter applique is from Applique Market. There were actually embellishments that were suppose to embroider on top of the eggs but I choose to use fun fabrics and delete those steps. I found the ruffled green ribbon at Hobby Lobby to use for the grass. You can really use anything there like ric-rac, tulle,  plain ribbon, etc. Love how it turned out and I paired it with the same pink Monag ruffled pants!! 

A few girly things!

A few things for Miss Em....

First up a girly font from My Glam Boutique and I merged in some little flowers I also got from the same site. Super cute!! I got a few other things to merge in with monograms. I hope to have a little fun with that in the near future!!

A cute little raggy split heart from Planet Applique! Super easy and CUTE!!!

And lastly a cute little cotten dress from Old Navy. I monogrammed her initials using the Monogram Font 1 from 8 Claws and a Paw.

Baby Gifts!!

Haven't made too many things in the past few months...although I have spit out a few baby gifts!! First up is a sweet little gift for my friend and co-worker Cara. I used the Applique Cafe baseball glove applique and merged in the name using the Cleopatra font from 8 Claws and a Paw. Then made the little baby toy (a in the hoop design) from GG designs also merged in the name using Cleopatra.

For some church friends....Baby Eden got a onesie with Applique Cafe's zigzag butterfly applique with Eden merged in using Grins and Giggles font from Applique Frenzy. The bib is done using Embroidery Boutique's cross applique and I merged in the word blessed using the Chloe font from Embroidery Boutique.

Next sweet baby gift for a church friend. Bib is same as above. The onesie I merged in the name using the Love Letters font from Jolson's Designs. 

Baby blankets with Madison's name using the Love Letters font from Jolson's Designs. Simple and CUTE!!

And lastly a baby gift for someone else to give. A GO TIGERS gown. I used the paw print from Embroidery Boutique and merged in the Go Tigers using the Millie font from Jolson's designs.

Winter ONEderland Birthday!

I got the pleasure of making a FIRST birthday shirt for my friend Ann Marie's sweet baby boy Colton!!

She was doing a Winter ONEderland them and wanted something boyish!! She sent me a few ideas and I sent her a few ideas...all of which we found looking on the Internet. However, I decided to make a few of my own. This little number came together with the help of many different digitizers ;) First up the applique 1 is from the Landon Applique Font from Planet Applique. The snowman applique is from Applique Market. I merged in his name using the Scooter font from Jolson's Designs. And lastly, the snowflakes actually came from part of an applique/embroidery design off of Planet Applique. The design was Be Merry. I just deleted the Be Merry part and moved the snowflakes around until they looked good on the design I merged together. A lot of steps but it turned out SUPER CUTE and I had one HAPPY Momma!! So in the end it was TOTALLY worth it!!

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!! 

Some GIRLY outfits!

Making a few things for my little princess...lots more in the works but had to take a break for Holiday Fun!! Now trying to get the blogs caught back up in order to make more fun things ;)

First up...I picked up these pants from Kelly's Kids and the blank shirt from Blanks Boutique! I actually stole this idea from my friend Candice!! Super cute!! Used the embroidery circles from GG Designs and merged in the E using the dollhouse font from The Itch 2 Stitch!

Outfit number 2 is Em chevron pants from her Halloween outfit. I wanted to get some more wear out of them so I made her another shirt to go with them. I grabbed this lettuce edge shirt from Walmart. The raggy double circle patch is from Applique Cafe and I merged in the E using the JellyBean font from The Itch 2 Stitch!

Outfit number 3 and 4 are the same just a tad different. I love the simple look of a monogram to match some girly ruffle pants!! Red minky ruffle pants I got from Smockadot last year on clearance and the purple minky double ruffle pants I picked up from a Kelly's Kids sale. The blank shirts are from Blanks Boutique!
