Some More Applique Designs















































Some of these are no help to you now that Halloween is almost over- but at least I can have them on here for next year's ideas. The acorn, cowboy hat, guitar, football helmet, and airplane are must haves for a little boy!
You can count on Kate wearing the ornament and Christmas lights on something too!

Christmas Dresses and a Fall Special


Some sweet twins will arrive VERY soon to go in these matching Christmas dresses! Welcome Blythe and Joy! These are the basic a-line dresses with the circle script monograms and the diaper covers are "Curlz" font. Time to order for the holidays!

Hairbows and 2-piece Outfit







I am making hairbows now. I can do alligator clips or spring clips- whichever hold your girl's hair the best! The smaller ribbon (like the orange bow) costs $3 a bow and the larger (like the brown) is $4. I can make the little baby bows too, they are just not pictured. They are $1 a piece. I can do any color and can easily look for patterns, like the polka dots, so just let me know what you would like, and we will make it work!
This 2-piece girls outfit is so cute on! It is a dress-top, so it can be worn with a long sleeved shirt and tights, or with the matching pants. The pants can be worn with a plain top also. I made this for Kate and got a light pink top and put her name in brown to match the pants.
There are a lot of precious coordinating fabrics out there, so if you tell me a color/pattern you would like, I know I can find it!

More Recent Designs

I love the acorn applique- it lasts all fall, as opposed to a pumpkin, and it looks great for boys!


This was a new circle monogram font I tried, and it is cute for boys or girls! I am adding my new fonts to the sidebar on the right.








More applique designs. The football and top of the acorn are a lightweight brown corduroy, so it adds a little texture to the designs. I LOVE the stocking, it is getting me ready for more Christmas designs. It is not too early to place Christmas orders- be on the lookout for sales!

Applique Designs and a Romper

This is a romper I made for Blake recently and it turned out to be one of my favorite patterns yet. It just seemed to fit him better than some of the other ones I have found. It has a snap crotch and two shoulder buttons. This is the shortall, but I can do a longall also.










These are some outfits that had previous monograms on them that were bought at consignment sales. I wanted to give you an idea of what we can do to remove monograms or cover them with a patch and monogram.
I love the turkey applique! I have done a multi-colored one (feathers are 3 different fabrics and the body is another fabric) and several single color ones. This and the pumpkin have been really popular... now is the time to order for the fall!









These are a few more applique ideas for diaper covers or burp cloths. I love the simple lowercase letter applique on the diaper cover. I also think it is neat to do some different fabric choices for the car or other commonly used designs.

This t-shirt is such a great way to tell friends or family your big news! (No- this was not for Blake!!!) This shirt was made in a bigger size to tell the family now and to also wear when the new baby arrives.
