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.

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. :)

Back to topic at hand--here's the photos of birthday outfits, complete with MATCHING birthday hats. All of these hats are finished in fabric and embroidery!

Hair Bow Holders

I've previously mentioned that I was going to make hair bow holders, and ta-da! I have two complete.

On my Etsy storefront, I have listed, under the Wall Plaque, an option of adding ribbon to the bottom to create a hair bow holder. My very first Etsy sale was this option for a lucky little girl named Olivia! :) I thought it turned out great!

Embroidered Hair Bow Holder $24

This next hair bow holder is an experiment. I wanted to do a fun and whimsical hair bow holder for a more playful room. This is a 12" diameter circle cut from multiple layers of chipboard--very light weight.

The edge is finished with thin ribbon (you can barely see the light purple ribboned edge), and the initials and background are cut from paper. The back of the piece is also covered in paper.

Holes for ribbon placement are finished with nickel grommets. Ribbon is tied in a way so that the holder is flush with the wall. Coordinating buttons and thread top off tied ribbon. Price would be $20.

So--what do you think? Is this hair bow holder worthy of an Etsy listing?

This last image is another bucket hat I just finished for a friend. Just wanted to show that I can do short names, as well as the initials you saw last week. I'm hoping I get a few more new things finished this week to share with you next Tuesday. Tuesday is my unofficial update day for this blog, so check back weekly!

Have a great rest of the week!

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!)

For the Next Generation of A-O-Cutie-Pi's

Anyone that has/is a part of a Greek affiliated organization, or really ANY organization for that matter, knows that the bonds you form in that group stay with you forever.  You also want your family, especially children, to know that same fabulous bond you did.

Now, I can't speak for ALL sororities and fraternities, but I know for us t-shirts were pretty much a big deal.  So much so, that you might not make it to chapter, but dang it, you GOTTA have your shirt and you GOTTA have it ASAP!  I say this jokingly, but I remember it all too clearly being the T-shirt/party pic chair my sophomore year.  People basically beat down the door of my room in the sorority house to get their dern shirts, harassing my sweet roommate (Love you, Jill! :)  However, I digress.

I don't have a daughter (yet :), but I would want her to know about my amazing time in college as an AOPi (Alpha Omicron Pi).  To honor my sorority and my sisters, I have created this design for our "next generation"--the legacies!  I can most definitely change it to read, "future AOPi" for those that you simply want to give a gift.  I can MOST DEFINITELY create designs for other sororities and fraternities!!!  Design can also read, "A/An blank blank blank Loves Me" for example.  Sky's the limit, as is for most everything I can create for you!  I can also make shirts for us alumni or current actives, just let me know what you need!  Adult sizes can be made to include fabric appliqué.
