Patchwork Cross Shirts

Newest addition!
Patchwork cross shirts!
These shirts are so fun for me to make and very fun to wear!
I take lots of different fabrics and create a patchwork cross. Each one is different! No two will be just alike! They are also adorned with hot fix crystals giving them just a touch of bling. After washing the edges will fray just a bit giving it just a touch of worn effect. These shirts are $40 and available in S, M, L, XL. Very soft shirts in Black or Brown

Fun Cross Shirt

I love shirts with crosses on them!

I was recently inspired to create this fun cross shirt from "some" of the fabrics I have on hand! :)
If you notice there are no two fabric "patches" alike on this!

It is accented with a few swavorski crystals to give that little touch of bling!

I have gotten comliments on it just about every time I have worn it! Let me know if you would be interested in ordering one of these unique shirts, I can promise that no two will be alike!

Finally made a couple of things for myself!

I was inspired by Aimee's post on her blog sewsensible last week! She posted a top (her post is here) that she had made for herself and I thought I should really make something for myself! She doesn't have a pattern for it, but I am hoping she releases one soon! (I already have some fabric picked out to make it too!)

I found a pattern somewhere else that I thought was cute and got busy! It reminded me of when I was in college and I would stay up half the night to make something so I could wear it the next day! This really didn't take long to sew up I just had other distractions that night!

I am stalking Aimee's blog to hopefully see one day that she is ready to release that pattern! :)
Here are pics of the tops I made: (disclaimer that my 11 yr old took these photos with my phone so the quality is not superb )

Pic heavy post to catch up!!!!

Hello friends!! I hope everyone is having a GREAT summer!!! It has been incredibly busy at our house the last few weeks. We had all the usual end of year activities, then I jumped right into getting VBS decorations done. That was a lot of fun and I will have a better idea what we will need for next year!
Here are a few of the things I have been working on lately!

This was a towel for our little neighbor for her birthday. The top scoop is actually lime green and the pink is brighter IRL.Another towel for a friend's birthday! This is my favorite gift to give during the summer! This was the first 3D embroider I had done. Love the 3D flowers on this one!A cute little birthday cake for our neighbor that turned 5!I made these travel mugs for teacher/bus driver gifts. I ended up making I think 10 of these for my 2 girls teachers and their bus driver and then some for a friend for their teachers.A couple personalized key fobs for gifts.A personalized sunglass/glasses holder. This has padding and will hold large sunglasses!A golf towel for a friend for her dad for Father's Day! I have also done this design on a burp cloth.A couple of kitchen towels I did for my SIL for her newly re-done kitchen!!
As always if you see something on my blog that you like and would like to have made just for you, send me an email!!!

I have not been too creative lately......

I've been pretty busy lately with "stuff", but not super creative!

I just did a bunch of shirts for a friend's husband for his new business. Had his logo digitized and embroidered it on a bunch of polo shirts. That was fun to do something new and learned a ton from it! I forgot to take any pics of them so when I do some more I'll have to snap some then!

I made these cute burp cloths for my neighbor for her to give at a shower. Love the pink and brown and this may be my new favorite font!!

My oldest turned 11 yesterday!!! We are re-doing her room for her birthday present! I bought a cute headboard/footboard yesterday off craigslist that we are going to paint for her. I'll make her a quilt/comforter. I'm still working on coming up with all the fabrics. I'm using a PB teen one as my inspiration! I'll try to post pics as I go along.
