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!!

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!!
