Some t-shirts.... still practicing, but I'm liking them better these days. I'm using one layer of tear-away and a layer of polymesh. I hoop it all, and my stitchouts seem to do well. <br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> First
Made this tee shirt for my g-nephew, Kai. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Kai is 4 years old, and has a rare genetic disorder called GSD-4. He was diagnosed and had a liver transplant just over 3 years ago. This past year he has had a couple of lengt
Another little tee shirt from WalMart decorated up for Miss Ella. The design is from Applique Corner.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> It was not easy working with those ribbons! I glued them down, then covered with lightweight tearaway to stitch them.
I had bought this little red top from WalMart and the reindeer design from AppliqueCorner to make for Miss Ella. Before I could get it done, I saw that someone else had my same idea! (I think it was on Facebook, but not sure). <br /><br /> <
My godson is getting married in two weeks and for a wedding present for the happy couple, we got an etched bakeware set and some other kitchen stuff that they wanted. I made this potholder just to personalize the gift a bit. <br /><br /> <br /><br
This is an old white hoodie that I had. I saw this project on Urban Threads and bought the design and stitched it (nothing original about this). It is just as cute as can be!<br /><br /> <br /><br /> It hasn't cooled down enough to wear it yet,
I've been trying to learn a little about digitizing... and created this monogram for the young lady next door (initials are JB). She drew the design, and I digitized it. I test-stitched it, then decided to turn it into something. I used the round
I made these pocket angels for some friends who are having health issues to let them know they are in my thoughts. These are the Tiniest Angel of Light design from Sonia Showalter. They stitch up 8 in a 4x4 hoop. The detail is amazing. --Sharon
The $Tree had a fresh batch of kids' tees when I was there yesterday, so I picked up a handful for my g-nephew Kai. I will "decorate" all of them, but started with this one for fall. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> The design is a freebie from Gr
Summer's ending, but I had to do just one more summer outfit for Miss Ella before I turn to Christmas gifts. <br /><br /> My mom made the ruffly pants and asked me to make a top to go with them. We made this outfit a size larger to fit next year.<br
I had the pleasure this summer to teach my neighbor's 9-yr old daughter, Jacky, some basic sewing. She was so fun to be with, and built amazing confidence as she made 2 pillowcases and a pair of pj pants. <br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />
This UT design stitched out so beautifully... these pictures do not do it justice at all! <br /><br /> <br /><br /> You can't tell but the jellyfish is done in three shades of purple, light on the top and darker as you go down. The design was
Joanns had a sale on their tee shirts a few weeks back, and my mom bought several for her gg-son (my g-nephew). I put two Appliques on them for him. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> Designs are the On-The-Edge appliques from EmbLibrary. I've used th
I went out to SFSC to pick up the design for their new mystery project and there on the home page was a gorgeous MERMAID!! Couldn't resist. I stitched her out on burlap later that day, but couldn't figure out what to make from that. I had though
More little girl dresses. I was helping my mom clean out some of her fabric area, and came across a small stack of very old dotted swiss fabric scraps. I hadn't seen that fabric in years and years. I quickly "took ownership" (mom was happy.... s
