Unicorn

This weekend I took a break from wreath making and worked on a shirt for Jillian.  I got this outfit at Walmart for only $10 and knew it would be perfect to add something to.

What do you think?

Jillian loves the outfit and had to wear it to school today!

So, are you sick of wreaths yet???

Check out my Vandy and Florida versions.

Wreaths, Wreaths and More Wreaths pt.2

I've been a very busy bee working on wreaths.  I've cut myself with thread from the fabric and burned just about every finger with hot glue but I am having so much fun making all these different wreaths!

Check out my house divided wreaths.

Alabama and Auburn

Southern Miss and Miss State

Georgia

Wreaths, Wreaths and More Wreaths!

After I posted my Alabama wreath on facebook I got TONS of orders and request for other schools!  I am having so much fun making all the different wreaths.  So far I have completed wreaths for Tennessee and Auburn and wreaths in the works for Georgia, Florida, Southern Mississippi and Vandy!

These are my Auburn and Tenneessee wreaths and I'll be sure to come back and share the others when they are completed!

Womb Mates

Last fall I was asked to make some Womb Mates shirts for a friend to give to one of her friends that was expecting twins. I came up with a simple circle design with Womb Mates in the center.  The mommy to be was having a boy and a girl so I chose to use a light pink fabric on one and blue on the other.  The shirts came out so cute that the twins Mommy just hired me to make a second set of shirts since the twins have out grown their first set!  I thought you all might like seeing these cute little onesies (is there are correct way to spell that? spell check never tells me).

Since those shirts were such a hit I knew that I had to make Jillian's teacher that is expecting twin girls some womb mate shirts for them!  I am a little bummed that the blue thread I used didn't show up as bright on the fabric as I would have hoped but in person you can read them much better than this picture I snapped with my cruddy camera. 

Roll Tide

Those of you that don't know me personally probably don't know it but we live in Alabama and we are BIG University of Alabama football fans!  Football season kicks off in less than two weeks and we are in full Roll Tide mode!  Last night I decided to whip up a hounds tooth ribbon skirt to go along with a top I made Jillian last year. 

The skirt was so easy to make!  I just used ribbon and hot glue!  I plan on hand washing it since I don't know how well the hot glue will hold in the wash.  Last week I made another skirt like this with some Little Mermaid ribbon, once I make the shirt to go with it I will share it with you! 

Let me know if you would be interested in a tutorial, I'd be glad to take step by step pictures of my next one if you would like!

I purchased the shirt on Ebay last fall, it was made by Gymboree a few years ago. I think it works perfect for some Roll Tide gear! 

My friend Shara ordered this bow for Jillian last fall from a seller on Etsy, it's it adorable???

We are ready to cheer on the Crimson Tide! 

Tomorrow I will share with you my new Alabama wreath that I made for the front door!

stuff I've been working on

Lately I've been doing some applique work and wanted to share with you a few of my projects.  The first two are shirts I've had sitting around to do for Jillian since May.  She is so happy with them and loves showing them off!

One of my friends from high school asked me to make some shirts for her daughter and soon to be born son.

We are leaving soon for our annual family beach trip and I decided to make beach towels for Jillian, my neices Mackenzie and Ensley and my nephew Russ. I hope they all like them as much as I do!

Bath Robe

Last week while browsing some of my favorite blogs I came across a new tutorial and pattern for a bath robe over at Made and I KNEW I had to make one for Jillian! The pattern was so easy to follow and I LOVE how it turned out.  The whole thing was made from a large beach towel and three packages of purple bias tape!  Jillian LOVES the robe because it is her favorite color, purple!

Burps!

I thought I would share with you a few of the burp cloths I made for a customer, I think they turned out pretty cute!  I hope baby Zander and his mommy like them.  Thanks again Paula for ordering them from me!

Custom from Spring Fling Giveaway

Kristen from Our Crazy Bunch was the winner of my Spring Fling Giveaway. I mailed Kristen and her son the shirt Monday (I hope she has it by now) but wanted to share pictures of her prize with you! 

A little Spring, A little Minnie

A few weeks ago I picked up some plain tshirts really cheap at Gymboree with plans to applique on them.  Saturday Jillian and I hit Hancock fabric to look for some fabric to go with them.  I knew I wanted to use one of them to make an Easter shirt and skirt and I wanted to find something cute to go with the other shirt so I could make a Minnie Mouse shirt for our upcoming trip to Disney World (shhh.... Jillian doesn't know about it, we will be going in November). 

Here is what I came up with.

To make this shirt I used Made's Market Skirt tutorial and the applique design is by Planet Applique.  I am thinking about adding some light blue (it's hard to see in the picture but the leaves are blue and green) pockets to the front of the skirt but I'm afraid to mess it up! 

For the Minnie Mouse outfit I wanted something "different" so I didn't go for the typical red, white and black, I think Jillian might wear this one of the days we visit Epcot.  For the skirt I used Made's Circle Skirt tutorial and I got the applique design from Bows and Clothes.

Don't forget, you still have two days left to enter my giveaway!!!!   Check it out! 

Before I blogged... my applique work

I was going through some files on my computer tonight and found a folder with pictures of some of the appliqued clothes I have done in the past and thought you might be interested in seeing some of my favorites.
