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! 

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. 

Gobble Gobble!!

I have made quite a few Turkey shirts already this year for the Christmas in the Valley show...however I had to make some for my kiddos too ;) Honestly, I didn't think I would make one for my son Max because he is 4 and wasn't sure if he would want one....he proved me wrong. He asked me specifically if I was going to make him one!! Yay!! Glad he isn't growing up too fast!!

This little turkey applique comes from Applique Momma! I used the satin stitch here. I actually did it by accident on Max's shirt but I think I may like it better....I added a sweet little bow to Emery's turkey!! Got make it a little girlie ;)

Question and Answer Time

Recently I have had a lot of comments on my posts. I honestly have no idea how to respond back to people (especially when I don't realize until a month later that someone has commented). And I am so sorry for this. I don't want to seem rude...I hope no one is taking it that way. Anyways...a few questions I have had recently....

What kind of machine do you have? 

I have a Brother PE 700 II. It goes up to a 5x7 size. I LOVE LOVE it!! I definitely think this is great for first timers. I wouldn't get the 4x4 machine unless you just can't afford the extra dollars to put into a bigger machine. I have fellow embroiders who wished they didn't waste their money on the 4x4 machine.

Is your machine sewing and embroidery?

No, my machine is embroidery only machine. I have a separate sewing machine that I use. I just prefer it this way as I don't want to have to switch back and forth between settings and such. I really don't know much about a joint machine. 

What can your machine do?

Anything and everything you want to do with it. For example: shirts, bibs, burp cloths, towels, etc. With the exceptions of bulky items like lunch boxes, back packs and anything that you can't get your hoop into the item. 

Where do you get all your blanks from?

Everywhere...LOL

No really I get them at Walmart, Target, Old Navy, Children's Place, Monag, and recently a new place I LOVE called Blanks Boutique! I also find random things other places to monogram or put an applique on ;)

Okay I think that covers the few questions I have had lately. Please Please let me know if you have any other questions or need some pointers. I would be happy to help!!
