Fashionista Dreams

This panel is one of my favorites from the current Space & Science round over at  Royal Pixie . Taking pictures of my sister in her new pj's and she told me she had the perfect pose, and she was right! I loved it!  Kaylee loves the stars, space and reading, so of course I made another reading pillow and several styles of bookmarks. She was a bit bummed when I said they weren't for her to keep.  This planet fabric and the galaxy print both look so great on book marks, they will be a part of our read across America promotion starting later this month.                                                                                                    There are still a few days if you would like ...

Another of the amazing reading pillow, only in action this time. I do believe they want to keep it!  I am really loving all the fabric this round, I am going to be ordering so much to make more reading pillows and book marks!  My brother and sister both really enjoyed getting to read for pictures this time too lol.  Some of the great color ways from this round that would be perfect for reading pillows! 

How could I not make a reading pillow with this fabric?! It kept telling me to make sure I had enough to make one.  I of course added some embroidery to it, but a bit more general because everyone in the house already has a reading pillow and I wanted it to have resale value. I did the lettering myself, the 2 Dr. Seuss themed ones were from  appliqués with character . They happen to have a huge sale going on right now if you are into embroidery or appliqué.  I really like the style of these. How its kinda sketchy, I might have downloaded a few files in this style lol.  This reading pillow is perfect right? The colors compliment each other so well, it would be so cute in a classroom or little ones reading corner!  I am so glad I had enough of this fabric from  Fabriculous  to make this pillow, while I made it with the intent to sell it... I am not sure I can part with it! I could always have two I do have a lot of books ...

Once-ler "I didn't think anyone still cared." Ted "Well that's me: The guy who still cares" This is my sister, the one that still cares, always, deeply.  One of the things my sister loves to do is go for walks with my mom, when they go out she picks up flowers off the ground, she always take a bag with her to collect them, and share them with other houses. just because the flowers have fallen doesn't make them less beautiful.  I embroidered the same design from her shirt onto her bag, it shows up better on her bag I think but she loves them both.  I used more scraps of the pink color way along with the faux denim round to complete her bag and have it match her shirt completely.  She has requested a mini swagger with the Lorax panel though, she's pretty excited about that one.

'...and I want to sing!" - Kaylee The Lorax is my sisters favorite, it speaks to her on a deep level. She is forever saying that the plants,  ocean, and animals are her babies. She takes it very seriously and find no humor in the idea of someone harming any of them. Our dad isn't even allowed to skip rocks unless she asks them first 🙂 I embroidered the Lorax and some Truffula trees on the front of her top, she was so excited to see them.  I took the pink color way for this current round over at  Fabriculous custom Fabric  and paired it with her pink faux denim. They compliment each other so well! I used them to make this raglan from  Patterns for Pirates I made her some matching socks with the scraps from my fat half, the new no shows from  The Wolf & the Tree , I made her the regular, she likes them more slipper style, the joys of island living wearing normal socks feels weird.   These are some ...

I got some strikes from  Fabriculous Custom Fabrics , after making some really amazing things I will show you over the next week when the round opens I decided to use my scraps to try out making ornaments on my embroidery machine.  I think they turned out really well. They are currently hanging on our tree, I will probably make some for next year, I plan to work on perfecting my skills over the year :) I have bags of fun fandom scraps I have been saving that will be made into so many cute little things.  This round will be opening up on the 26th, but I wanted to show off my ornaments before the tree comes down lol. 

I really wanted to do something fun with this bib pattern from  Candy Castle . Fun Holiday bibs with embroidery for the win! This bib has 3 sizes; 3-9 months 17.25-19" 9-18 months 19-20.75" 18 months - 2 years 10.75-21.75" It also has an option for pocket or no pocket and can be made double sided with coordinating fabrics. The ones pictured here are single sided.  These bids have the arm holes built in and a tie that can be adjusted around the back, making these fir very securely and would be great for cake smashes!  I embroidered a cute fun design on each of these to fit with the holiday season.  These can be made with so many different kinds of fabrics and with limitless options for personalization!
