girl shirts

Some Christmas . . .







A roller skating birthday party . . .



And a couple for Evynne . . .

She wanted this applique and we have Hollywood Baby pants out of this fabric.

two of a kind

I always do lots of two of a kind things for my girls, but lately, I've had a bunch for other people. Like one-year-old twins Ethan and David . . .









And almost 3-year-old twins Reese and Morgan . . .





{Probably the most labor-intensive design to-date. And I got to do it twice ;) }

They are having a pirate-themed 3rd birthday party. So cute! And the design was not my own doing. She found something similar on etsy and asked me to recreate it!


I also did some things for 3 and 4 year old sisters . . .









And of course, I have managed to squeeze in a few things for my own girls! I like these monag pleated dresses with leggings so this is what I came up with for one set . . .





And I am in love with these apple monag empire dresses! Evynne picked this design AND the fabric {that way she can't argue with me about wearing it!}

It's going with the pink kelly's kids footless tights. And we know I love the polka dot ricrac trim. I'm pleased with the result even if this might not have been my top pick for fabric!

And coordinating Kelly's Kids outfits . . .

new fabric and some boy shirts

I went to Hobby Lobby and Thimbles a couple of weeks ago. We all know what that means. New fabrics . . .

These are the ones I found at Hobby Lobby . . .

And these at Thimbles. The first three from the left are fabrics I bought specifically trying to match the apple monag dresses I bought for my girls. Evynne liked the one on the far left and the floral the best and to match the pink of the tights I have, I went with the far left. {However, I ADORE the floral so I think I'll buy apple shirts or dresses again in the spring so I can use it!} I'll be posting those pics soon!

And I've done a few boy things recently . . .

I really like this plaid . . .

And I thought this fringe lion I just bought from Applique for Kids turned out SO cute . . .



Let's not leave out the nephew. This is an old white shirt that my sister wants to put under a navy sweater so we just gave it a little personality :)

i heart this


I made this shirt today for Evynne to go with a blue/white checked skirt. The skirt has applique flowers on it so I wanted to keep the shirt simple. I LOVE this lemon colored lettuce shirt with the royal on it!

Way too often I get in a rush doing things for my own girls and end up not being pleased with the result {I'm REALLY trying not to do that this season!}. This time, I was thrilled! Even though it was still a quick design to stitch out {relatively speaking}, I love the result. I can't wait to see it on my five-year-old!


UPDATE: I just realized the skirt that this goes with is with a short sleeved shirt in the previous blog post. The short sleeved shirt is an example of one of those things I did without thinking it all the way through and ended up not really liking. It was just TOO much going on with the skirt. And the E looked more like a backwards 3 for some reason. Maybe because I did a 2 on Elly's shirt.
