Ashley's Honor FLight Welcome Home dress




My FIL came home from the WWII monument trip saturday night. Friday nite I made this quit pillowcase pattern dress for Ashley to wear. Poppa Louie was in the Navy so the anchors were perfect. The fabric is from my Grandma Peggy that she purchased somewhere, probably a yard sale or the Goodwill!

Eric's Gifts




A few gifts for a newly expected baby for a friend in my CBS class from all of us. I love the feel of the minky dot (yellow) fabric but after you pull it thru the cotton fabrics are always wrinkled! And if you iron the blanket the dots iron out. The burp rags- The Au one is MW+ font and the diamond font is from my machine. The E is from ERN but my machine did not like that thin satin stitch and I ended up going over it with my machine. The Paw is also from ERN, love it! And the E in the paw is from MW+. Its Great.... quote is a freebie from Sewforum, my chine also didn't like that small font, next time I will make my own, even tho her creation of font is so cute. The blanket design is by ERn, her sheep but I redid the font in MW+ so I could bold up the stitches. All fabrics are from HL.

Egg Pillowcase dress with a


Fabric from Grandma Peggy. I am not a fan of pillowcase dress with ties on shoulders but this ribbon was too pretty to hide in the back. I think I will add some trim around where the egg fabric meets the aqua fabric. The font is Exact from MW+ software.
Anyway, it is too big for her for this year. But since I put only the 'A' I can pass it down to Anna Jaymes and the smaller version I did for this year (shown inother post) can be passed down to Anna Jaymes sister (not yet named publicly) and they will have matching dresses, sorta.

Bunnnniiiieee Peasant top & shorts



The jellybean fabric and teal fabric are from Grandma Peggy. This is my first stab at the peasant pattern, very easy. But I will probably have to removed the lower elastic for it to fit Ashley again next year. That bunnnnniiiiieeee is sew cute. He is a dark purple that matches one of the jellybeans. he is also from www.creativeconnectionsembroidery.com and that is the name of the design.

Chocolate Bunny, Yummy!


Made two of these, one for DGD Kinsley and one for my niece, Anna Jaymes. Shirt from Target.

Easter Egg Outfit



More fabric from my Grandma Peggy. I tried to make the shirt to kinda match. the egg design was a freebie, not sure where. Nothing worng with the pants, my dress form distorts them a little. I did another of this in several options and purple for someone else.

Fringe Flower top


Have no idea where the fabric came from, luckily I have some orange shorts that match it. I got the fringed flower design from www.creativeconnectionsembroidery.com/zenshop
It needs some touch up, fringed designs can be tricky.
