Slag's Rags

Colofrul Designs and Holiday Deadline

2011-11-16T11:06:00.000-08:00

I LOVE colored shirts for little boys- they last longer with such messy little guys! I can make the appliques match any color shirt with the change of fabric and thread color. And- I keep several colors of shirts in a few different sizes in stock, just email me about size/color options.

Longhorn

ATV/4-wheeler

BIG apple

Raggy turkey- I love the bright colors! Not your everyday turkey, but the bright colors look so cute on little girls!

I will be taking orders until November 30th... I want to be sure to enjoy the holidays with my family! So, if you need any last minute Christmas/winter designs, be sure to get them to me soon!

Fall Appliques

2011-11-04T19:26:00.001-07:00

Some recent appliques I have done... If you have pants that you would like for me to match, bring them to me and I will do my best! Also, if you sew your own pants, bring me some scrap fabric and I will use it for your applique!

Brothers' matching shirts are so cute!

Pumpkins last all fall! And this ric rac pumpkin is so unique!

Back To Work!

2011-10-03T06:26:00.000-07:00

These are a few things I have done since having sweet Morgan. I have been able to do more than I thought I would, so I am ready to take orders again. But, you do need to know that I am giving myself a 2 week time period for each order, to be safe. :)

I also have added new photos to Snapfish albums (tabs above) and some designs won't load, so I have just about anything you could want! Email me and we can get you started for your kids' fall clothes!

A Few Weeks Off

2011-07-09T08:09:00.001-07:00

Even though I am not taking anymore new orders for a few weeks, I thought I would show you some recent things I have done. I love colored tshirts for boys because they get SO dirty! Another favorite thing to do is make a few shirts for each pair of shorts.

A sweet pillowcase dress, just $20!

My favorite Tie-Top Dress using two fabrics, just $30!
The best thing about this dress is that we just put a shirt under it and wear it into the fall too!

An anchor is a great summer boy applique idea! Made some seersucker shorts to go with it, just forgot to picture them together.

Some sweet summer treats for the girls, lemonade and watermelon!

Kate is REALLY into skirts and dresses right now, so I made this easy little twirly skirt and matching top for my Kate! The skirt is just $20, and it has a coordinating band of ribbon at the bottom!

And some treats for the sweet girl we are waiting to meet any day now.

I have finished a few burp cloths, bibs, onesies, and gowns for sweet Morgan, I can't wait to post pictures of her using these things! She will be here soon, and I will be back up and running shortly after she arrives! I will keep you posted!

Ready For Your Order!

2011-03-31T17:47:00.000-07:00

I am taking new orders now, and I would love to help you with some great new Spring styles! I have a few new designs updated in the photo albums, check them out! Email me at starrlr@hotmail.com with your orders.

Back Soon

2011-02-07T07:10:00.000-08:00

I am obviously not still out for Christmas, but I am moving VERY slow on things because I am expecting my third baby, and have been sick and busy! I have tried to take a few orders here and there, but I am just not feeling well long enough to sit and sew for long, so I am having to continue my "break" a little bit longer. Thank you for being patient with me, hopefully I will start feeling better soon, and be back up and running! Please email me with any questions!

As Of Now...

2010-11-30T06:02:00.000-08:00

I am having to take a break for a few weeks to finish all of the items I have. I hate to tell more people I could do things when I haven't finished what I have! Hopefully this way, I can knock it all out and get back into business before Christmas! Thanks for understanding, email me with questions!

More New Fall

2010-11-15T05:57:00.000-08:00

This is a great green corduroy, a kiwi type color is so fall-ish.

The brown dress is precious with pumpkins, turkeys, owls, etc. I have these dresses in white, brown, sky blue, and red in size 2, and the brown in size 4 also. Let me know if you would like a precious thick cotton dress with the design of your choice.

These are designs using fabrics or threads that were customer requests or matching their fabrics. Let me know if you have a certain color scheme you would like, or bring the pants you want to match the shirt.

Fall Outfits

2010-10-04T06:27:00.000-07:00

I love using colored shirts for boys since they get so dirty! I also love the pumpkin BOO.

I recently made this dress for Kate, and she LOVES it. It has tie shoulders and a matching ruffle at the bottom, and it can be made short or long. It is $30

The pink outfit was a special order. If you have a pattern that you would like to have made, but I do not "offer," you can bring it to me for me to make for you. This is precious for girls with the rick rack, or you could make it for boys with a belt in the back and with piping. It is called the "Paulie" jumper.

These are some outfits recently made for the fall. Ruffle pants and ruffle shirt is $30! The short sleeve dress is $24.

These are the new hooded towels I am carrying, they are so cute with a monogram or name on the top! They are a great baby gift! I think red or white is cute on the blue, and lime green is cute on the pink. Also, blue on the orange one for Auburn fans... but also green or turquoise is precious. See new post below.

More Options!

2010-10-04T06:11:00.000-07:00

I have gotten some new designs uploaded on my Snapfish albums, and here are some more pictures that I cannot get to upload to the albums, so they are here for you! These are the website's pictures, but I can do these designs with any fabric or thread combination you would like! Check out the snapfish albums too.

New Designs and Recent Work

2010-09-07T15:09:00.000-07:00

These are some designs that I have had a hard time uploading onto Snapfish folders. These pictures are copies from the websites wear I buy the designs, but they give you the idea of what it will look like with your own fabrics.

These are some recent things I have done, some hand towels for a farm with different animals/insects, tshirts and jon jons, and some Halloween pumpkins! It is never too soon to be ordering your fall things. Notice that the Auburn shortalls are REVERSIBLE! I can make your shortalls or a-line dresses reversible for just $45 (includes monogram or applique on BOTH sides)!

New Items

2010-08-12T10:56:00.000-07:00

I am now keeping certain Monag items in stock. I will likely be using these t-shirts, onesies, and gowns as much as possible. They are made of a very thick cotton interlock fabric that holds up very well! I have shown pictures of the sleeveless, short sleeves and long sleeves. The sleeveless and short sleeves are $10 plus the cost of a monogram or applique, and the long sleeved shirt is $12 plus the cost of the monogram or applique.

I am also now offering knit shorts and pants for girls. There are shorts and pants with a 1 inch ruffle at the bottom, and there are leggings. The ruffle bottom shorts and pants are an interlock cotton, and the leggings are a rib knit. The leggings and ruffle pants are $12, and the ruffle shorts are $10.
A cute design idea is to put the same color ruffle pants and ruffle shirt together with a cute applique. If you purchase cotton pants (leggings or ruffle) and a ruffle top (sleeveless or short sleeves), it is just $20 plus the cost of the monogram or applique!!! Add $2 for long sleeves. Great for a new school year!
These pants and shirts come in just about any color, so email me with questions or orders.
Black, Chocolate, Red, Pink, Raspberry, Lime Green, White, Lavender, Yellow, Navy, Turquoise, Light Blue, Orange.

Updated Prices and A Back To School Offer

2010-08-06T15:22:00.000-07:00

Please notice I have updated the price list to the right to reflect the complexity and time required on certain items. I hope this eliminates confusion and makes the ordering process smoother.

I have not updated pictures in a while, but I wanted to show a few things I have worked on. Also, check the Snapfish tabs soon, I am adding several new designs to the mix!

You could do shorts or diaper covers for little ones.

I Am Back!

2010-06-08T07:32:00.000-07:00

I am back from my embroidery break! I got a little swamped and had to throw a vacation in there too. Then my computer with all of my software and designs crashed, so I had my tech-savvy husband retrieve all of it for me. Now I am up and running again, but I am trying a new scheduling thing to be able to give you a heads up on turnaround times. I have a few new designs on the tabs above too, so check those out and let me know what you like. Send me your orders through email, starrlr@hotmail.com, and we will get your clothes or gifts going again! Thank you for being patient with me.

VACATION

2010-05-18T17:59:00.000-07:00

I am taking a little embroidery vacation! I will not be taking any new orders until further notice (probably no longer than 2 or 3 weeks). I will be completing the orders that have been made, and I will get them to you as soon as possible. Also, if you have gotten in touch with me about a possible order, but have not made an official order, if you contact me, I will still honor that as an order and complete it. Thank you for understanding, we need a little family time as we kick off the summer! If you have any questions, please email me at starrlr@hotmail.com. Thanks!

More Spring and Summer Ideas

2010-04-04T19:07:00.000-07:00

These were plain john-johns that my sister bought and I just added the appliques. The beach is such a fun theme for Spring and Summer. I love how big the beachball is, and I think the jellyfish is precious!

The frog is so cute too, for girls or boys. It would be cute to have for a brother/sister matching theme.

I made this shortall with contrasting lining.

I have also been making shorts that coordinate with a few shirts, like these tan gingham shorts with the tan monogram and tan brontosaurus.

For the Bama fans, grey gingham shorts with the elephant applique. A shark applique would be cute to match this one!

I think the seersucker alligator with the green thread is so cute for boys!

The brown and blue checked shorts looked cute with a blue shirt and a white one, so you get two outfits for less!

I love the flip flops applique for girls! I know Kate will have a shirt like this soon!

Boys' Designs

2010-03-15T17:16:00.000-07:00

I can do appliques without fabric in them to make an outfit look a little dressier.

Shorts and t-shirt sets are such an easy gift for someone, or a great staple in your child's wardrobe.
These are the golf green applique and the "Things that go Vroom 8" applique.

A longall made of lined pique fabric, it is such a pretty fabric, and it is thick enough for early spring weather!

Some onesies I have done recently. The Taylor applique, the Round Monogram as an applique.

Elephant reverse applique with the name in Taylor font. Alligator with Harrington font.

Burp Cloth Ideas and More Easter

2010-03-10T18:34:00.000-08:00

Rocking horse, Taylor applique, and helmet.

Sheep, Taylor Font, Whirly Bird.

Horseshoe, "L" is Cheri Applique, and Cowboy Boot.

Longhorn, Double Circle with Swirly "G," and Horseshoe.

Easter Bunny with names.

Easter Trucks with names.

Beach towel with name in Laney font.

This font is called For Keeps, and I did it on some bibs and loved it!

Paypal Option and Easter Designs

2010-02-22T07:43:00.001-08:00

Good news!!! I am now able to send you an email invoice for your order through Paypal, so you don't have to mail me a check if you don't want to. This is just an option if you would like it to be, and I can include shipping costs in your invoice. Paypal is one of my favorite ways to checkout, so I thought it would be good for some of you who may be out of town. The only catch is that it will cost a small extra fee to use Paypal, around $1 for a $25 purchase. It is not cheaper than a stamp, but at least you can use a credit card! This is definitely not a must-do, but it is on a customer to customer basis. When you email me with an order, just let me know that you are interested in Paypal and we can use it! That is all about Paypal, now I will show you some Easter designs ! Also, I added some new things to the price list on the right, such as shorts and 2-pieces.

Applique Outfits

2010-02-06T18:51:00.000-08:00

This monkey is great for little boys. I have just a monkey face and this whole monkey.

The pants match the caterpillar shirt, it is such a cute design.

The golf outfit is to carry Blake into spring. He looks cute in this bright green. The gingham is lightweight, so I can do a short sleeved t-shirt in a few weeks/months.

A new style dress with knot toggles through buttonholes. You just pick 2 coordinating fabrics and it makes a cute dress for spring with a shirt under it and summer by itself. We will call it the Toggle Dress.

This is another way to use the Valentine's Heart on a pink shirt. The pink monogram matched the shirt perfectly!

I made Blake this dog shirt, but Kate insisted that she get one too. I didn't think it was a girly design, but she sure looked cute in her pink dog shirt.

Designs

2010-01-30T13:22:00.000-08:00

I think the striped heart looks cute with any fabric in it. I have done a rainbow and this arrangements of different pinks, and I love it! The golf green is always cute in gingham, but I liked this polka dot fabric.

I made this longall for Turner, and it is such a pretty color, I am saying it is dark teal, corduroy. I wanted to show the monogram, it is Ellie font as a monogram. Not sure if everyone knows, but you can use any of my fonts to the right as a monogram. I just size the letters and arrange them myself as a monogram.

Recent Work

2010-01-23T18:46:00.000-08:00

I love the dinosaur! The applique H is in Chunky font. You can't go wrong with green and blue for boys.

Get ready for the beach!

These are some t-shirts and bibs I have done recently. I love the golf bag, and I have a golf green that is so cute too! The golf theme is good throughout the year, and looks good with any fabrics.

The dumptruck is one of my new favorites for boys. It looks cute with any fabric, on any color shirt.

This circle is called "Taylor applique font" and it is so cute! You can do a name through it or just leave the single applique letter.

The font below the alligator is called Laney, and it is great for boys or girls- one of my new favorites!

I love the guitar- I love it on the orange shirt with the retro fabric for the applique.

I have a cowboy hat, a cowboy boot, and a horseshoe. All of them are precious.

This is the black lab. It looks good using a solid color or gingham.

The square patch with the heart looks cute with initials or without.

A great idea for spring is to get one pair of pants with a few shirts that match.

Valentines Options and New Fonts

2010-01-14T07:24:00.001-08:00

These are a few more options for Valentine's Day. The patch can use any font with your child's name.

The striped heart uses several different fabrics and looks very cute!

I also just got a few new fonts... check them out on the side bar. They are Ellie, Laney, Lizzy, Lindsay, Tinkertoy, and For Keeps. I love them and I think you will too!

What You May See My Kids Wearing

2010-01-12T08:32:00.000-08:00

Kate is going to wear this shirt for Valentines, with some black and white pants that match the inner heart material.

I got a few longalls at consignment sales that needed an applique to cover an old monogram, and I decided he is my little monkey, so he got a monkey face!
And the mallard duck is so boyish, I love it!

Blake got a new backpack, it matches Kate's pink one, but I thought the train made it so cute!

More 2-Piece Outfits

2009-12-03T06:15:00.000-08:00

The ladybug 2-piece outfit is handmade with the applique included! The pants in all the other pictures are handmade as well.

These are just a few ideas, the options are endless!

Some cute Christmas ideas! The ornament is so cute to do for girls or boys! I love the bright Christmas lights too- no need to stick with just red and green!

I think the crown is perfect in this fabric, a pretty pink and brown damask print!

Thomas is spelled in my new font, "Whoa Nelly," which I am obsessed with! It looks so cute for kids!

Cooper is in Amelie font with the precious excavator- perfect for boys! I hope you are not having any trouble checking out my new design links at the top... you do have to have a snapfish account, but once you have one, you can check them out any time!

New System

2009-11-22T07:10:00.000-08:00

I am trying to figure out how to display all of my designs since Blogger "eats" them when the page gets too long. I put up links above to all of my designs and fonts, but I am not sure if all can view them. They are Snapfish albums, so you may have to have an account with them to see the pictures. Please leave me a comment to tell me if you have a problem with it or if you have any suggestions of how else to display the designs. Thanks!

Some More Applique Designs

2009-10-28T17:51:00.000-07:00

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

2009-10-28T13:59:00.000-07:00

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!

FALL DEAL- From now until November 15, monogram and applique t-shirts are buy 2, get 1 free!

Hairbows and 2-piece Outfit

2009-10-25T08:09:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-10-15T09:18:00.000-07:00

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

2009-10-10T19:00:00.000-07:00

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.

Back to School Specials

2009-09-07T20:11:00.000-07:00

These are some examples of a girl's jumper that I can make- with a monogram or not. I have several fabrics to choose from or you can pick your own and I will discount the dress price. I will post pictures soon of the dress with contrasting pants for the fall. These dresses work very well with a shirt and some leggings underneath as well for the fall and winter.

This is Kate's backpack for Mothers' Day Out. It comes in pink or blue and I can do any monogram or font or applique design on the flap. I love it that the backpack is plain to start with- you can do so much to make it your own!

Update of New Applique Designs

2009-08-10T08:10:00.000-07:00

I should have added the summer ones a while ago, but I just forgot... so I thought I should get a head start on showing you some fall and winter designs. They can be done with any fabric and I can adapt some too. For example, I can remove the smiley face from the pumpkin and insert a name. These pictures are not exact ones I have done, just the examples of how they look finished. Hope you enjoy these!

Recent Projects

2009-08-03T20:23:00.000-07:00

I bought the seersucker dress at a consignment sale for a few bucks and put the flip-flop applique on there, and it made it so much cuter!

This is a ladybug smocked dress, but I can do any design on the smocked dress or on a panel for a boy's john-john... pictures to come soon! I love the angel sleeves on this dress!

Some matching boys shorts or pants and applique shirt outfits. The boys pants and shorts are so cute on and I like to do coordinating shorts with a few shirts. For example, I did some red and white gingham shorts to go with one shirt that had a red and white gingham sand bucket applique and another shirt that had red and white gingham in a surfboard applique. Easy to mix and match and so cute on them!

Borders

2009-03-31T17:15:00.001-07:00

This is a basic tank top with a monogram border. I can do any color combinations and fonts, there are also several borders to choose from on the right hand side of the blog. Just had to show how cute it looks in person!

2009-03-06T19:45:00.000-08:00

I just wanted to show you what some of the things I make look like on kids. This is my Kate wearing the ruffle pants with the matching appliqued toddler t-shirt. I hope this gives you an idea what they look like on instead of a flat picture of them.

Burp Cloths

2009-02-22T18:57:00.001-08:00

Boy's Bubble

2009-02-22T18:47:00.000-08:00

This is a boy's bubble outfit that can be monogrammed or smocked. There is piping on the collar and sleeves and a 2 inch smocked panel on the front. I can smock any kind of design on the panel for you. I also have several monogram fonts that would be great on this. This pattern is made for a boy or a girl, only the sleeves are different.

Monogrammed Accessories

2009-02-22T16:58:00.000-08:00

This is a flexible straw sippy cup with a personalized monogram on any fabric of your choice.

A basic diaper cover with any name, monogram, or design

These diaper bags are not for sale, but they are to give you an idea of the items I can monogram for you.

A monogram or applique on your own item is $6 to $10 depending on the size and font/design.

Smocked Bishop Dress

2009-02-10T15:21:00.001-08:00

These are some examples of handmade smocked bishop dresses. These were done in a basic broadcloth with pink and green thread geometric variations. There is a small eyelet/lace trim on the gathered sleeves. The back has 3 pearlized shank buttons enclosed by elastic loops. This dress can be made with any fabric and thread combination. There are several smocking designs available upon request. I can do geometric designs or picture smocking (stacking).

Applique Shirt

2009-02-10T15:16:00.001-08:00

A onesie with an applique patch and initial.

Toddler t-shirts with an applique letter or applique patch and initial on it. These go great with the ruffle pants in the coordinating fabric. I can do a shape applique with an initial or monogram in it or the applique initial itself. I also have several applique designs that are precious on shirts, burp cloths, bibs, etc. The designs include a butterfly, snail, crab, flower, fish, sailboat, car, train, alligator, beachball, cupcake, ladybug, whale and pig. I can also get just about any design you request, so do not hesitate to ask!

Ruffle Pants

2009-02-10T14:54:00.000-08:00

These ruffle pants can be made wider as gauchos, shorter as capri pants, and even shorter as shorts. So cute and they look great for any occasion! You can provide the fabric or use a patterned print that I already have.
