Appliques for Summer

A friend asked me to do a few shirts for some upcoming summer events. Below are what I turned out for her. By the way, I apologize in advance for upside down photos. For some reason I cannot get these figured out tonight, and I am just going to post them anyway! :)



This shirt is for a little boy who is attending his Uncle's graduation from the Navy. I wanted to find a ship to do, but non looked "Navy" enough for me, so Anchors Aweigh it is! His little sister is getting the heart applique with a star inside, made out of the same seersucker material. I have sewn this before, so I believe it is in my photos already.



And here are the upside down photos. These are for a vacation at the lake. I absolutely LOVE this canoe applique! After I did the little boy's I tried to find the sister a different applique that would coordinate, but the canoe turned out even cute for a girl, in my opinion. I have to do these for my two (soon to be three) as well!

Crazy for Seersucker

Tonight it seems I was sticking to only seersucker fabric! Besides a few rabbit shirts for Easter, here are some cute new designs I played with tonight.

This is a baby gift for a first girl. Knowing she has TONS of pink stuff already, I pulled more of the green color from the tri-color stripe seersucker. This picture is way dark, but this is an adorable fabric!

These are two shirts I did for my girls. I made them both a pair of shorts last week, and just getting around to making the tops. Again, bad pictures, but you get the idea!

Finally, this is NOT seersucker, but a twirl skirt I made! If you have spent more than ten minutes with my girls, you know their love for twirly things. Sophie saw this skirt in a book, and asked for it. I obliged and made it! It turned out well enough she wears it to school. It is about 85 charm squares sewn together. It was totally not rocket science, and pretty easy to assemble. She may have one in varying themes in a few weeks!
