It's been a while since my last post...I have not been able to get alot of work done because I've been really sick. Here are some things that I have got a chance to work on in the past month or so:
These are actually the shorts I did back at Easter. They are reversible with green seersucker on one side and blue seersucker on the other side. At Easter--I did the Applique Cafe Easter Truck to match the blue side. I also plan on doing the Embroidery Boutique whale in blue seersucker. Needless to say--we should be able to get alot of wear out of these shorts! I also have a pair of brown gingham pants that I have made that shoule be able to carry this shirt into the fall--I love being practical!
Monogrammed beach towel--it's always such a nice break to be able to simply monogram something--other than to spend alot of time and attention on applique. I have just made an order from http://www.jiffyshirts.com/ for some shirts and I also ordered some bags--one of which to go with this towel. It's the first time that I've ever ordered from them--so I'll let you know how it goes. They have good prices on stuff and great shipping prices.
Embroidery Boutique Octopus paired with a pair of Garanimals shorts. I thought I would do the orange thread to make the applique a little different and to pop a bit more--there is a tiny orange stripe in the shorts. This one is actually for my little guy. I don't like to always put his name on stuff--because I would like to hopefully reuse his stuff if we ever have another little boy. Even if we don't--it will be easier to consign (there's not alot of Jonahs out there). I'm quite frugal--when I do decide to put his name on a shirt--I usually buy it a little larger, so that we can hopefully get a couple of years out of it.
I love Madras fabric! Maybe I can get a pic of Jonah wearing this one to post.
Embroidery Boutique Surfboard Applique
I also did this little turtle on a onesie for a test design for Applique Frenzy.
