Dresses and Outfits and Toppers OH MY!

I've been trying to play catch-up from the recent out-of-town visit, while baby boy is with one set of grandparents for the week. After I finish my current sales, I need to finish sewing slipcovers for my own house before my parents come to town this weekend to celebrate Labor Day.

SO, due to the aforementioned, I am going to have to place a hold on incoming orders until Tuesday, the 8th (the day after Labor Day) so I can enjoy my family and friends--and WATCH SOME FOOTBALL!!! :) But that's only one week you have to wait to place your orders, so don't despair! In the meantime, check out these items--some are similar to previously made items and some are BRAND NEW!

Auburn Inspired Pillowcase Dress

Mississippi State-Inspired Boy's Outfit

This customer and I couldn't think of anything else--does State have a "Hotty Toddy" or a "Roll Tide?"

Elastic waisted pants

Applique & Monogrammed Boy's Tee

One of my best customers can sew and smock AMAZINGLY--she's making her daughter a fun pair of pants with this crimson and elephant fabric. I used the elephant as my inspiration for the applique, and now her shirt will match her pants perfectly!

One of my Etsy orders--First Cheer Shirt sold! YAY!

I LOVE this fabric!

Matching Burp, Bib & Onesie Set

NEW! NEW! NEW! Favor Bag Toppers--and I package them as they will be used. Attach to cellophane bags with staples. How fun are they? These match a friend's daughter birthday plates. Will not be sold as is--licensed image of Build-A-Bear--just wanted to give you the jest of what I'll be offering soon.

NEW! NEW! NEW! Cupcake Toppers to match your Favor Bags (and your Invites)!!!

Set of 12 on lollipop sticks (can have 6 each of two images or 12 of one image)

They're so fun to look at in their packaging. :)

These are just some up-close pics of the Cupcake Toppers--aren't they presh?!

They're dimensional! Lollipop stick sandwiched between top image and bottom colored cardstock.

Oh and I'm hoping to start making some things for H-A-DOUBLE L-O-DOUBLE U-DOUBLE E-N!!! So be on the lookout for that too! Whew! :)

Birthday Gear! From Head to (almost) Toe!

YAY! I've had a chance to make several BIRTHDAY OUTFITS! And I ABSOLUTELY LOVE them all! My newest accomplishment is the coordinating boy shorts I sewed using a pattern I CREATED!!! I'm so proud of myself. Have to give my Sorority Big Sis, Jill, a shout out for some conversational guidance on how to accomplish that task. She's an AMAZING semstress! I'm so lucky to have someone that creative and talented in my life, not to mention the fact she's an even more amazing friend. :)

Stylin' Baby Boy

I haven't had a chance to create many new things over the past week, but I did get to make this for my baby boy. We had a wonderful time celebrating a friend's 30th birthday, and thought my Wild Man needed to dress for the occasion.

"Tuxedo" shirt $14

Have a GREAT week, y'all!

Posh Puppy

So, I'm delving into another realm with my creative works.  Due to fabulous suggestions from two great people, Lindsey (my brother's girlfriend) and Sonia (a friend from my hometown), I will be making equally fabulous things for your POSH PUPPY!  :)

Here's my first creation, with another to follow soon.  I'm hoping to have the second ready to show by this weekend.

Don't worry, my dear fellow Rebels, I have this fabric coming (sorry the pic is so small, but you get the idea):

on which I'll be monogramming this:

I already have this fabric:

On which I think this would look great (Don't you think so, Jill!  Hurley can have one like Lula's!) :

As you can tell, I think I'm going to gear most of these towards college teams, hence the reference to Ole Miss Rebels, Georgia Tech Rambling Wreck and the obvious houndstooth of the Crimson Tide.  Of course, I can use any fabric you want and embroider/applique anything you want, from names to initials!  Price for these are $18.  I can add embellishments like piping and ric rac to the edge of the scarf for a small extra charge.  All collars have hardware for buckle, adjustment strap, and d-ring for leash.  Sizes are listed below:

Also, I've finished a few more greek related designs (and NOT just for AOPis!).  I'm hoping to have a few things posted on the Etsy site by this weekend, but you will be the first to know!

Coming Soon! And Cheerleader Fun!

Just thought I'd let you, my fabulous readers, know that I'm in the process of setting up an Etsy site.  I'm also working on some more fun sorority gear for your wee little ones!  (Obv, designs can be altered to suit current actives or alumni!)  I'm just waiting to finish a few more designs so I can post several things at once.

A few other things I have in the works are a cheerleader bag, more bows (including corkers!  SEE PICS BELOW!), and a middle school cheerleader shirt (picture below!).  One thing I'm soooo excited about creating is custom birthday hats that can finished in fabric and embroidered or finished in paper with cut-out initials.  The great thing about the custom birthday hat in fabric is that I can make an entire birthday out fit out of the same fabric, so everything is coordinated!  Oh and I'm thinking about making cupcake toppers that can coordinate with invitations so EVERYTHING from clothes to paper goods can all match for your little one's birthday.  HOW FUN!

Don't worry, I'll post pics here first.  And don't forget you DON'T HAVE to go through Etsy.com to buy your goods.  Just email me and you can pay using the PayPal button on the right hand side (You can use a PayPal account OR a debit/credit card!)
