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.

Mish Mash--Cuteness in a Flash

Just wanted to post a few more things that I've completed for a few customers. I'm hoping to create a new collegiate-inspired item this week for newborns/infants, so they don't get left out. (Pillowcase dress sizes are for 12m-4T, and boy's Pants Set are also 12m-4T. Larger Pillowcase dresses can be made special order--please contact for quote.)


I call these two dresses a "sister set." They're the same fabrics just opposite placement.









I didn't get a close-up of the hairbow that matches perfectly, but at least you can see how great they go together!


If the shape of this shirt looks funny to you--it should! It's a doggy shirt!




Iron-on transfers so your presh pooch can cheer on their favorite teams and not picks sides between mommy and daddy!








First Tennessee Vols outfit created. This is cute--this household is a "house divided" with mommy a Rebel fan and daddy a Vols fan. Little sister got a Hotty Toddy Pillowcase dress and big sister got a Rocky Top Pillowcase dress.


So, I've come to the realization that I'm going to have to create an actual website, with categories, buttons to click, shopping cart--the whole nine yards. I'll be working on that in the next few months in my "spare time." Haha! Maybe we'll have a release date at the first of the year?!

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.

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! :)
