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.....
Hey Jenny! I am a new fan of your blog! I am a Germantown resident and my daughter (who lives outside of Little Rock) just had twins (boy and girl) and I am so excited to see your great ideas for kids monogrammed clothes! I bought a monogram machine last fall as soon as she announced she was pregnant and can't wait to try some of the things you have shown here. I am so thankful you have tried to say where you got things (blanks, embroidery designs, etc). That helps people like me so much! I have already found things I like online but can never find the source. I do want to know about your towels you and your friend Tracy got for the crafts fair you did. What is the source for them and did you like them (quality?). Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteSorry Denise for late reply! You are so sweet! Congrats on those twins coming very soon!! So exciting!!
ReplyDeleteWe got the towels at Walmart. They come in a 2 pack. They are microfiber white towels that are quite nice for show purposes. Not sure how good they are in you actually use the towel for clean up and such.
Please let me know if you have any other questiosn. Always glad to help a fellow embroider ;)
Hey Jenny! Love your blog! Thanks for sharing your ideas. Where did you find the blue dress with the e on it? I searched just blanks, but I'm not sure I was on the correct website! Thanks for your help!
ReplyDeleteHow much fabric do you need for the tank dress? Size 4 toddler for length.
