Wreath

Here is the Christmas Wreath. I did it last year for my girls (see below). And just put in on a gown for a friend who has a new baby girl and wanted something sweet that would not overwhelm her for Christmas Eve.

Clothing Blank: White gown

Fabric: Light. Green corduroy & pink and white polka dot

Thread: Light green & pink

Last year, I put it on a Ruffle T for Maddie and on a dress for Emalyn to cover up Maddie's monogram that was on the dress. I did the bow hot pink so that it would match Maddie's hot pink corduroy pants, but you could do a light pink bow or a red bow depending on what pants you want to match.

Fabric: Green felt & hot pink dot

Thread: Green & hot pink

Viewing Pictures

Sorry you cannot see any of the pictures! I was organizing my pictures in Picasa and didn't realize that meant they were being deleted from the blog. I am in the process of reloading them, but it is taking some time. So please email me if you want to see a picture of anything. Thanks!

Frosty Train

This is a really cute applique for little boys:

Fabric: Green corduroy, lt gray solid, blue & brown gingham

Thread: Green, blue, brown, gray, & orange

This mom doesn't love the way Monag shirts fit her little boy, so she brought me a turtle neck to applique - which you are always more than welcome to do. The cost is $11 per applique.

Louise Font

The Louise font may be my new favorite font for little girls.

Clothing Blank: LS Ruffle T

Thread: Seafoam

And here is the Louise font as a monogram. One of my friends ordered an extra tab for a dress she had bought for her little girl and then had me monogram it.

Thread: Brown

Scallop & Circle Patch

The scallop & circle patch is fun because you can combine several different colors. A customer wanted something pink, turquoise, and red. So here is what I came up with. I'm going to do it for Emalyn with a pink monogram to go with a pair of turquoise corduroy pants.
