Itty Bitty Rammer Jammer

With the influx of orders for my Collegiate Inspired Pillowcase Dresses, some people needed cute clothes for the wee little ones--under 12 months.

I think the absolute smallest I can make the pillowcase dress is 6 months size. Having said that, I made the pictured Bama dress for my best friend's 3 month old daughter. It should be a little long now, and perfect for at least one more season. PLEASE remember to supervise infants while wearing the pillowcase dresses, especially the long ties.

I have a dear friend who is a life-time fan and graduate of the Crimson Tide, and met his beautiful wife there. They just had an adorable baby girl a few days ago, so I wanted to make her some things to add to, what I can only assume is, a massive collection of Tide Pride clothes! Matching her gown, I made the elephant red work design to encompass her initials for the bib and burp cloth. To my horror, as I was completing the burp cloth, my iron let it's presence be known--by leaving a nasty brown mark over the embroidered piece! Grrr! At least I have more burps, but that makes me so sad to be oh-so-close to finished only to ruin the whole piece! BOO!



 






Molly's Momma wanted her to have bloomers, but I'll be making her some matching leggings in the near future.


The font of Molly's name matches the Roll Tide applique.


This wrap gown ONLY comes in size 0-3 Months. Can do gown with plain onesie up to size 6-9 Months, but won't have trim. Plain onesie's will have iron on applique that is on Pillowcase Dresses.




Other gowns will have one tie at bottom that matches the Pillowcase Dress top ties.

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!

Ole Miss Pillowcase Dress!!!

So, I couldn't wait to post this until my weekly posting day of Tuesday--it's just SO CUTE!

I had a sorority sis contact me wanting some fun game day gear for her one-year-old sweet baby girl. We decided to go with a pillowcase dress since it will transition well into fall with a longsleeve shirt and leggings. It can also grow with her--once the length gets too small, it can become a shirt so just add pants! So with that premise, she wanted something football-ish and with Hotty Toddy. I already had the great red & blue gingham that we used for the base of the dress, and I added the red swirls to make it a little more fun. I created the applique, and can be altered for any other school.

Without further ado, here it is!

Football Inspired

If you haven't noticed from a few of my items, I love to show my school spirit. This is more evident during the season of FOOTBALL, I mean, fall. Now from the houndstooth and combo colors of blue and red, fellow SEC lovers can tell my heart lies with the Crimson Tide and the Ole Miss Rebels (born and raised a Bama fan, but college scholarship drew me out of state to the Heart of Dixie.) However, I consider myself a pretty open-minded person, and have created some fabulous items for a fellow SEC team. :)


This customer was so creative with her vision of having a football themed baby shower, and her wording was the icing on the cake! I created the clipart. Printed on white cardstock. Background black and red are cut, textured cardstock.
Price for similar invite: $1.75 per piece

I've been dying to make some collegiate-inspired baby gear, so this was a great opportunity for me to use my clipart and the giant ric-rac I love oh-so-much!
Collegiate-Inspired Burp: $14

Just a pic of the two items together so you can see how cute they are--a great way to keep a memento of the party for months on end!

If you like these items, I can create them for ANY team you root for and I'm not limited to just the Southeastern Conference.
