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!!

a little of this and that...

Had a few different orders over the past month or so...First up was a swimsuit that I monogrammed initials on. Not sure what the monogram font is called or where it came from....sorry....

This is a little pillowcase dress that my friend Samantha brought me and she decided she wanted this adorable bird on a branch applique from Planet Applique!! This turned out so sweet!! Just love it!!

Samantha also brought me this to put her daughter Vera Kate's initials on as her birthday outfit!! 

And this one too!! Vera Kate has a double name and a middle name so I got creative and made her initials on this dress. LOVE LOVE how it turned out!!

Another one for Samantha!! This little flower applique is from Planet Applique. I made it to match a cute little green tutu Samantha had picked up at Gymboree!!

And last one for Samantha...she wanted hers and his monogrammed pillowcases!! I so LOVE how these turned out and will totally be doing something similar for my bed ;)

Lastly, a little outfit for my son Max. He has been asking for a shark shirt. These shorts are some shorts I made him last year for Easter and they still fit!! Yay!! So I decided to make the shark out of the same fabric so they would match!! The shark applique came from Sew Many Designs. Super cute!!

back to SCHOOL

Emery and Max's back to school outfits!!

First off the white shirt I used for Emery's outfit I am in LOVE with! I got this through a website called Blanks Boutique! It is totally affordable and great quality!! Can't wait to get some of her long sleeve shirts for the fall!! Okay...so back to the applique. I got this design through a conference so it was special that no one else can get but Applique Cafe made it and she has a similar one on her website. I merged in Emery's name using the Love Letters font from Jolson's Designs. Made the skirt using a pattern I got off of You Can Make This. Com. It is a super simple pattern and will definitely be making more of these for the fall!!                                                                                              

Max is getting older so I just did something simple for him. This zig zag football can be found at Applique Cafe! Shirt is from Walmart and shorts from Target!

Added bonus...their outfits coordinated!! So so cute!!

My little cuties!!

frogs and snails...

Made these cute little outfits for my kids for school! Max class name is the Funny Frogs!! So thought he needed a little frog shirt for school!

The applique is from Bunny Cup Embroidery. I merged in Max's name using the Cleopatra font from 8 Claws and a Paw!

Emery's class is the Silly Snails!! So of course she needed a snail shirt for school too!

This little snail applique came from Applique Cafe!! Just love it!! I made it to match her little green polka dot skirt I made a while back because she LOVES to wear it!! She asks to wear her alligator outfit everyday!! Ha!

skating birthday shirt!

A skating BIRTHDAY shirt!! I used the skate applique from Applique Cafe and merged in the number 7 and her name using the _____(I can't remember the name) font from 8 Paws and a Claw! Final touch was a homemade little bow to pin at the top of the skate for the laces!! Super cute!!

cowboy birthday shirt!

A little cowboy birthday shirt that I threw together for my friend Monica's son Palmer!! I actually used the yonder applique font from Planet Applique and merged in the applique cowboy hat from Applique Cafe. Then I merged in his name using the Whoa Nelly font from 8 Paws and a Claw! Love how it turned out!! Here's hoping the birthday boy loves it just as much!

a few baby gifts!

Our lovely Sunday school class is full of pregnant ladies!! So so fun!! We have been having a few diaper and wipes showers lately so I have been busy making a few items for each little bundle of joy!!

First combo..The baseball mitt applique is from Applique Cafe and I merged the name in using the Cleopatra font from 8 Claws and a Paw. The applique B on the bib is from Planet Applique. It is a baseball font package!! ALL BOY!!

 This funky little combo turned out pretty cute for a sweet little sister!! The flower applique comes from SWAK embroidery and I merged in the name using the Jelly Bean font from Etsy. The applique lower case b on the bib is done using the Anna Kate font from Applique Momma.

 Little ladybug combo...the ladybug applique is from SWAK and I merged in the name using the Grin and Giggles font from Applique Frenzy. The L on the bib is from 8 Claws and a Paw..I think the Ladybug font...

 And lastly...a sweet little combo...the raggy cross applique is from Applique Cafe and I merged in the name using the font Love Letters from Jolson's Designs. The Jesus Loves Me is an embroidery design from Embroidery Online. com

Love making some sweet baby gifts!! And for those of you that have been asking I get the bibs from ToysRus/BabiesRus in a 10 pack. I got the burp clothes from Target they are Gerber 6 ply..very thick! I usually get Carters onesies but I couldn't find any blank white 3 months so I picked up a pack of Gerber. They worked out great but they are not as thick as Carters.
