Embroidery Edition

I try not to linger too much on embroidery because most people don't have an embroidery machine.  But I thought I'd do a quick show-off today. I occasionally put stuff in my etsy shop, but right now it's empty because I'm lazy about restocking.  Anyways, even with an empty shop, I do a bit of sewing just from word-of-mouth.  A few things I've made recently:
--my daughter went to a birthday party so I whipped this up - love how it turned out (tutorial to come):
--my cousins made tie-dyed shirts for the first day of school and commissioned me to add their names:
--a friend of a sis-in-law emailed me about making a shirt for her daughter's first birthday.  Plus a little clip - so cute:
 
--my kindergartener needed a towel for a nap mat with her name in permanent marker - permanent marker, how boring!
--a neighbor of my aunt needed a shirt for her baby to cheer on her other daughter in a soccer game - the older daughter is #4 and we added jewels for extra spunk:
--another birthday party, another personalized shirt with matching headband - this time it's a version for a little bit older girl:
Anyways, if you need something personalized just shoot me an email.  To get a shirt/onesie, depending what you want on it, it's usually around $12.

  1. Okay, now I want a serger AND an embroidery machine . . . reality says it's never going to happen. I'll just live vicariously through you.
