Let the Sewing Begin!

I now have the sewing bug! I purchased a serger which allows me to make my seams look more professional and to give ruffles a triple-rolled hem like you see in the retail stores! Here are a few things I have been up to...and I have more patterns that I just haven't had time to sew yet!
Pillowcase dresses with a ruffle band are $30 which includes personalization of one applique and/or name/monogram. Sizes are 0-12 month, 12-24 month, 2T-5T, 6, 7, 8 and one little enough for your recipient's 16-18" doll (Doll Pillowcase dresses are $20 which includes personalization of one applique and/or name/monogram). See the tab "The Dress Shoppe" over to the right for approximate finished lengths to determine the size you will need.

Fabrics: Main body is Glamour Girl Butterfly Floral, Ruffle band is Black Polka

Fabric: Main body is Songbird Jewel, Ruffle band is Pink Scroll

I'm now making/offering made-to-match ruffle shorts for my applique tees! These come in Newborn, 6 month, 12 month, 18/24 month, 2T-6T sizes and for the remaining month of April they are only $10 (as of May 1st they will go back to regular price of $16).
What a perfect way to show off my new ruffle shorts than with this fun 3D pinwheel design and matching clips! Pinwheel shirts/onesies are $22 for short sleeves or $24 for long sleeves, matching pinwheel alligator clips/snap barrettes are $5 for one or $9 for an identical pair.

Fabric on shorts is Roco Beat Ornamental

Approximate finished lengths of ruffled shorts are as follows:

Newborn: 11"

6 months: 11.25"

12 months: 11.5"

18-24 months: 11.75"

2T: 12"

3T: 12.25"

4T: 12.5"

5T: 12.75"

6T: 13"

These can also be made to be capri pants...just add 3 inches to the approximate finished lengths above to gauge the size you will need.

Introducing the Diaper/Wipes Clutch...only $20 which includes a FREE hard case of Huggies wipes and FREE personalization of one applique and/or name/monogram. These are lined with no raw edges on the inside and have a fabric wrist strap. These also hold 1-2 diapers along with the wipes case...perfect for short trips to the store or the park when you don't want to carry around your entire diaper bag.

These cases are fully lined and have no exposed raw edges.

BUSY BOOKS! These make great birthday gifts or big sister/brother gifts. I sell the zippered pouches for $16 with a monogram or $18 with an applique & name for you to put together your own Busy Book. I can also put an entire book together for you with the 3-ring binder, fabric cover page with recipient's name & matching fabric, Crayola Twistable Crayons or Colored Pencils and coloring pages from NickJr.com for $32.
