Kelly's Kids and Cooper

Recently, I did a few Kelly's Kids things for one of my customers. The patches were already on these shirts, but I added the initials to them . . .

I also just added initials to these Kelly's Kids dresses . . .

And a name on this appliqued top . . .

And I've done a bunch of things for Cooper lately {the grandson of a sweet friend} . . .

I suggested adding red buttons to the center of the wheels on this dumptruck and she did. It looked super-cute that way!

Cooper's grandmother sews, so he has pants to go with all of these tops. I thought this choo choo turned out pretty cute to go with his black/white check pants! . . .



And this sweet varsity applique font is really one of my favorites . . .



And this is the beginnings of his reversible birthday longall . . .



Happy Birthday Cooper!

And just a random project, but it was for my Kelly's Kids rep so it sort of fits . . .



I have so many more pictures to get posted soon!

finishing up for my girls

It never fails that Christmas comes and goes and I still have a huge pile of long sleeved things to do for my own girls. This year was no different. However, I found that we had quite a few clothes already and opted not to do ALL of the things I had waiting. These are the ones that made the cut . . .

I'm having to let Evynne do a lot of picking of designs and fabrics these days since she's gotten so opinionated on her wardrobe. She loved this fabric and even though it wasn't exactly what I wanted, it's worth it so I don't have to fight her to wear it!

Both girls have orange pants that these are going with. {Evynne's are solid orange like the cuff on the hat and mittens and Elly's are the orange/ivory polka dots that I used for the main fabric on hers}.

These are pleated dresses that are going with brown leggings for Evynne and yellow for Elly.

Evynne's "name" dress to match Elly's I did a while back . . .



And last, but not least, a simple monogram on a shirt for Elly to wear with these Hollywood Baby pants. It looks really sweet on her too!

love birds

Been on a bird kick lately. These cuties are for my girls . . .

I have to do an owl every year. They are just SO cute! These are going with the red minky skirt and pants they had for Christmas {I needed a new non-Christmas top for them to wear with them!}

A Valentine's shirt for a customer/friend . . .



To match a blue minky skirt {wing fabric} for one of my "big girl" customers {this is probably her last year in appliques. tear.}



And another matching set for my girls . . .

I have always loved this design and finally got around to doing it!

And since we're on the subject of love, another Valentine's shirt {for the same big girl as the bird above} . . .

new year. new babies. new fabric.

So, it seems like it's been awhile since I've had a lot of orders for baby gifts, but apparently, the new year is a time for showers. I've done several burp cloths lately.



I love this little fancier girly one I did. Except for that it is off-center. And I'm a perfectionist. Even if it is just for a baby to throw up all over. I'm having trouble in my 4x4 hoop because the design usually can't be moved around at all because it maxes out the space. I think my needle may be off-center because no matter how much I work to get the item centered in the hoop, it is always off. I need to get it checked out.

A few pairs of bloomers for a third girl in the family of one of Evynne's friend's.

And I hit Thimbles today for 2 spools of thread and 2 fabrics. This is what I got in addition to my list . . .

I've said it time and time again. I have a problem.

Is anyone else loving this fabric as much as me?! . . .

How precious would this be for a skirt or capris with a turquoise shirt for the spring/summer?! I love you Fabric Finders Fabric.

we need a little christmas now

I think I was able to come through for everyone who needed something pseudo-last-minute for Christmas. And I can honestly say, I have no outstanding orders at this time. Okay, except for two pairs of bloomers for a baby due in February. And they're not newborn size. This SWEET outfit was for a Christmas card photo . . .

And just some classic Christmasy-but-can-be-worn-year-round applique initials . . .

{Please ignore the smudge on many of the pictures in this post. A certain 2-year-old at my house likes playing with my camera!}

Kelly's Kids top and nightgown for a sweet friend {and Kelly's Kids rep} . . .

Sweet design to match some pants out of the green minky {tree} fabric . . .



A hostess gift for the hubs' work party . . .

Simple, yet so cute! I need to do one of those for myself! Some more dish towels for the sister-in-law to give as gifts {these are really cute too! I think she said she found them at Homegoods.} . . .



A sweater a friend is giving her dad as a gift. Although I fear I put the embroidery too high. I'm a little perfectionist about these things. It's really hard to do grown-up stuff because I know just where to put designs on kids' clothes, but not so much on the grown up stuff . . .

In the future, I would prefer for the subject to put on the garment and mark the appropriate place for embroidery. At least until I get the hang of it! I also used solvy interfacing on top of the sweater, which washes away, but looks a little like plastic pieces are sticking out until it is washed!

And this is for the little 4-year-old girl we pulled off of the angel tree at Evynne's school. She asked for clothes . . .

We got an Osh Kosh jogging suit that was hot pink with navy and other colored flowers on it so I made this to match. I really hope she likes it!

This is a gift for my M-I-L {aka, Snowy}. I think I stole this idea from a Mustard Seeds kids' shirt . . .

And finally, some of our friends are getting a trip for Christmas. Can you guess where to? . . .





Pillowcases for autographs {another stolen idea from another monogrammer -- so cute!} . . .

And now all we need is a little Christmas break!
