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!!

another big order...

Somehow I forgot to post this blog post a while back....
This was another big order for my friend Melissa. She brought me this cute little dress to add an applique and initial too. We came up with this adorable owl applique from Applique Cafe! The Z is done using the Curlz font!
Gumball machine applique is from Planet Applique!! It is a fun one to do as you can use real buttons to fill the inside with or there is an option to do embroidery gumballs too!

I did this football and soccer ball before. Zigzag football and the soccer design are both from Applique Cafe!
With this order I got to try out my good friend Tracy's NEW 6 needle machine!!
It was so AMAZING and I can't wait to get one.....one day.....
We made quite a few of these shirts for Melissa and her son's baseball team!!
I made the SOX design using the Cade Applique Font from Embroidery Boutique. Turned out so cute!!
All the little ones I made on my machine. I used the baseball design from Applique Market and then I added it to a square patch for the boy shirt. The font used on the black dresses and onesie is Green Bean front from Applique Frenzy. The one on the white shirt is Cleopatra from 8 Claws and a Paw.

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!

a little bit of everything...

Making a few things for the kids here and there...
This little number I merged mini sailboat embroidery designs with the M from Jolson's designs. White shirt is from Target and shorts from Kohls!
 Next up a little outfit for the beach...The fish design is from Stitch on Time. I made the shorts from some fabric I picked up at Lace Cottage a while back! Love it!
 Max's Birthday Outfit! Same design as last year (except I left off his name this year) from Planet Applique. I did use different colors to match the "basketball" shorts Max picked out at Walmart! Shirt and shorts from Walmart where a whooping $3.88 each! Can't beat that! I didn't take a picture of the back but their is an appliqued 4 on the back in the blue and white gingham fabric.
 A few things for little Miss Emery!! I got this adorable ribbon design from Applique Market! I merged in Emery's name using the Love Letters font from Jolson's Designs! The shirt I picked up at Children's Place last year on clearance!
 This was my first attempt at putting a design on the side seam! It turned out pretty cute. First pic is the front of the shirt. The applique comes from Applique Cafe! I got the shirt from Old Navy!
 And the back of the shirt! I made the skirt using a pattern I got from You Can Make This. Com!! It is super simple!! 
 A few pair of bloomers for Emery's smocked dresses! Both of these fonts came from a site off of Etsy and I don't have any clue where I got them...
 Last up a baby gift I made for a friend...she said she wanted something that was cute and something TN football! I went with this cute little elephant applique from Lynnie Pinnie and merged in his name using the Whoa Nelly font from 8 Claws and a Paw. The TN design is from Etsy and I merged in his name using the Cleopatra font from 8 Claws and a Paw!
More to post later...mostly baby gifts and a few more things for my kids...
