it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I'm not sure how you do it at your house, but at mine, just about every room looks a little something like this right now . . .

I love the Christmas season! I've had a lot of fun doing some sewing to get ready for it too . . .

Lots of jammies. Below are Kelly's Kids jammies for a whole group of cousins . . .



This turtleneck is for Evynne. Grandmomma made her a red minky skirt to go with it {bought the fabric at a Hollywood Baby fabric sale a few years ago and am finally putting it to use to match something I have for Elly} . . .



Also for Evynne . . .

Elly has a red shirt that was Evynne's three years ago and it has one ornament with all three initials in the dot fabric. I wanted Evynne's to be similar, but not exact. This is what I came up with and I am pleased with the result . . .

And I just love this nativity . . .

For a friend's little girl, but maybe next year my girls will have this design.

For a big girl of another friend . . .

I really like how this turned out to go with a red skirt . . .

And even for those who like to keep it simple . . .

I'm surprising myself this year and have gotten the monogramming part of two teacher gifts done already! . . .

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

all dressed up

This pink dress for Elly is an example of one of those times where I debated what to do about thread color and regretted my decision. I originally was going to do all brown, but since the letters overlap a little, I was afraid they might not stand out and be legible. I opted to outline each letter in a different color pulled from the fabric. I don't love it. I think the brown would've looked just fine.

So, I still have to do the matching one for Evynne and hers will most definitely be outlined in all brown. I figure that's more fitting for a big girl anyway.

I thought this one for a friend's little girl turned out precious . . .



And I also really like this one I did for Evynne . . .

She wanted a butterfly so I tried to make it a little less "springy" in color. She will wear this with brown leggings. Elly will have a coordinating one that will have a yellow gingham body and she will wear hers with yellow leggings.

sew girly

These are for my girls . . .

Aunt Malli knitted these adorable skirts for them and I could not wait to make the tops to match. Now if it would just stay cool long enough for us to get to wear them!!!

This one is made to match some pants a friend made for her daughter. This fabric is cute! {Even if elephants are not allowed in my home.}







I got this pale pink turtleneck at old navy for Evynne. I loved this tan dot fabric with it and decided a sheep would be the perfect applique for the fabric! It turned out SO sweet and will work great with khaki cords, brown pants, or jeans.



This last shirt is one I made for a friend's daughter to match the Kelly's Kids black and pink reversible pants.

ease ;

Got this cute Hannah Kate outfit at the Hope for Gabe consignment sale. I was so happy it was blank and I could put an E on it!



I'm working on doing better about having more than one top to go with each pair of cute pants so I also made this top to go with them . . .

Not my favorite E, but since I do so many, I like to change it up. This is the Flamingo font.

We also had this dress that was a hand-me-down that just needed a little something . . .



I love this Hollywood Baby romper that Aunt Malli gave Elly . . .



And this is just a Garanimals turtleneck from Walmart. Under $4 a piece people. It's going with some bright blue cords for Evynne . . .

I've had this Sweet Varsity applique font for awhile and finally found a way to use it!



I really like this new Mia patch too!

These shirts are just for everyday wearing with lime frill pants, jeans, whatever.

You can never go wrong with the Dotty applique font!

I've been slowly working all of these projects for my girls in with the many orders I've been working on. I still have TONS to do since the majority of their wardrobes this season involved an applique or monogram! I can't believe I'm about to have to do Christmas stuff.

some shirts

A few boy shirts . . .











And one for his sister . . .



A few for some friends . . .



And one for my own . . .



{I gave Evynne four fabrics to choose from and this is the one she chose for her cross shirt. Pretty cute!}
