Girl Outfits

Hooded Towel & Swimsuits

I've been busy monogramming gifts for teachers, graduates, and weddings.  25 bags and 20 towels done:)  I'm SO grateful for big orders, and it's a GREAT feeling to give them back to the owner:)

Last week I took a little time to work on something new.  I am constantly seeing things and saying "I can make that" but rarely get around to trying most of it.  My SIL got cute hooded towels as a gift for her twins, and when my mom told me about them I thought I should try to make some.

I LOVE how the towels turned out and I think it will be my new baby gift for people!  Jordan told me I should have made EmK one with an elephant due to his love (obsession) for Alabama football!

and here is a boy version I made as a gift for a sweet friend....

I thought you might like to see the swimsuit I made on my CUTE model:)  We went to the splash pad while visiting my family recently.  EmK wasn't sure if she really wanted to get wet until about 3 minutes before we got in the car.  I hope she warms up to water before our swim lessons.  

I know I've said this already, but if you sew, you MUST get this Sew Beautiful Pattern.  I made EmK a second suit (my sweet MIL actually put it together for me because I couldn't find the time).  Turned out just as cute!  

Ruffle Bloomers Pattern

is NOW in my etsy shop.  

CUTE Outfits!

EmK had a great visit at my parents...and I enjoyed visiting for a few days.  I'm back in town and sewing like crazy:)  I am hoping to get my Bloomers Pattern finished this week.  I have some really cute NEW stuff I made while EmK was away last week...BUT I can't post yet b/c a couple of them are gifts and I don't want to spoil it!

 Stay tuned:)  

All BOY

Lots of SEWING this week

This week my mom and dad kept EmK for me.  We met them halfway (my parents live in Robertsdale...which is near Gulf Shores) on Sunday afternoon and they kept her so I could get caught up on my sewing.  I'm not exactly caught up BUT I got a TON accomplished...and while my mom says it's to help me have more sewing time (which it did) she also wanted that sweet girl ALL to herself (I can't really blame her).  It was the first time to be away from EmK for so long and to be at home.  Normally when we're away from her it's because we are traveling somewhere, so it was weird at first being home without her.  I have enjoyed my time.  I was joking with a friend when she asked me what fun things I was doing and my response was things like "watching the Today show while I drink my coffee" or "taking a shower whenever I wanted".  It's been nice...the house has been quiet......I've gotten lots done....and now I'm READY to see my sweet girl:)

COMING SOON....

Yes, another pattern:)  I know you're probably thinking what about the others I've said were coming...they are, but i have just been SO busy sewing for other people.  I hope to have my bloomer pattern finished next week...then I'll do the two dresses.  I went to see a friend one day last week and she and I share a LOVE for sewing.  After I left I was inspired to make this....so I stayed up extra late and after a small glitch I finished it.  I've been wanting to make something with this material for a while and knew that I wanted to do pockets.  I think these pockets would be SO cute on the side of girl shorts.

Hopefully I can post some pictures tomorrow of all the sewing I've finished.  Then it's off to visit my family..and RELAX:)

P.S.  We LOVE BUBBLES around here:) so don't be surprised if they are in all our pictures.
