kelly's kids coordinates

I've had so much fun monogramming Kelly's Kids clothing and making matching pieces to go with some Kelly's Kids items. I think this pullover is so great for big boys . . .

This font is called Atilla and I like it very much . . .

I bought this skirt for Evynne at an overstock sale and it is from last Fall's collection . . .

My mom bought Elly the matching pants from the online outlet to give her for her birthday.

Both shirts are monag -- Evynne's is lettuce edge, which I prefer with skirts and Elly's is frill, which I prefer with pants.

I also got this from the online outlet (last Fall's collection) for Evynne . . .

I think the E could've been a little bigger, but it's cute for sure.

This dress is one that a customer brought to me to monogram. It is Kelly's Kids and she found it at a consignment sale with the tags still on it. It looks familiar so it may be from last Fall's collection (not sure!) . . .

My friend who is a Kelly's Kids rep ordered the turquoise corduroy pants with lime polka dot ruffle for her little girl this season. This is what we made to match . . .

{The apple in the "pumpkin patch" post was made to match the reverse side of these pants which are lime polka dot with red ricrac above the ruffle.}

I love to just order the cute tights and then put a monag dress or skirt with them. I ordered these tights for Evynne this year and made a turquoise monag dress to match . . .


And this may be my ALL TIME favorite. I used my hostess earnings to order this matching dress for Elly and skirt for Evynne . . .

I love this polka dot ruffle trim and have used it many times in a variety of colors. This is the first time I've used it for something other than the seem of an empire style top or dress. I was inspired by the top and dress in this collection from Kelly's Kids.

LOVE. IT.


I do still have more Kelly's Kids stuff to do, but this is quite a start! If you need to order anything, I know a rep whose name you can put in when you order online so she gets credit {and come to my show in the Spring!}

more big girls

We are still waiting on some size 10 monag shirts to come in, but until they do, I think I've finished the last of the big girl stuff . . .

big girls and football moms

Some of my best customers have 2nd grade girls this year and it's fun to work with them to find designs/fabrics that are age appropriate for their "big girls". Here are just a couple of the ones I've done for one of them this year on size 10 Monag lettuce edge shirts. {Note: the first two pumpkins in the last post were also for these two customers.}



We always have the fun challenge of making shirts to match different skirts!

This one is going with a turquoise minky dot skirt. So cute!

This fabric is becoming a favorite of mine. Below is the 4th item I've used it on in the past month!



And we moms tend to forget ourselves, but I loved this idea! One of the moms I mentioned above has a son who plays football and she decided she needed a "momma shirt" to wear to the games. Love it! . . .



And when here sister heard about it, she decided she needed one too {different team, obviously}! . . .

pumpkin patch

I think I've finally finished all of the pumpkins for the year! I think they all turned out really cute. I just love pumpkins!













For twin brothers and big sister.



And as of this Friday, it's officially Fall y'all!

for the wee ones

I've done a few things recently for some wee ones . . .

This shirt is going with some navy pajama pants. Cute! . . .

The momma wanted a moon and I just happened to find this one - a free download - on Embroidery Boutique. Obviously, the bottom half of the moon was still wet when I took the photo.

this & that

I think I've finished the last of the short-sleeved stuff for awhile. Here are some pictures of this and that, which I have been working on . . .











Cute idea -- A friend got these shirts for two friends who were finding out at their 5th birthday party that they were going to Disney together the next day! . . .



These last two outfits are ones that I bought for Evynne at the Hope for Gabe Sale. They were cute, but the tops were plain. I had to get creative with ways to match the bottoms since I didn't have the fabric the pants were made out of. I am really pleased with how they both turned out!





For this one, I used the hat from Planet Applique's Cowboy Alphabet, but put it on a more girly "E". This fabric was a tough one to match, but I really love the simplicty of the solid fabrics and how this turned out. Evynne loves it too, which is great!
