Something for my Mom!

Once again, this is not my original idea, I saw a post on sewforum from someone who got these towels at Target in the dollar spot and added this design, which I already had. The towels already had the little hearts embroidered on the bottom. I loved them so I knew it would be a great little gift for someone, and that someone happened to be my Mommy! I added their last name initial into one of the hearts and then her husbands and her first name initials in the other!

I found a few more sets at Target yesterday so I think I will make myself a set too!

Sweet Turtle Shirt

With the input I received on a previous post I tried the poly mesh stabilizer. I actually ended up hooping the poly mesh and tear away, making sure the poly mesh was closest to the shirt. I am pleased with the outcome, but it still needs to go through the wash to see how it looks.

It's just so cute!

This past year all of the major holidays seem to have snuck up on me and I was not able to make cute shirts for my girls or my nieces and nephew. This year, one of my new years resolutions is to make sure they all have cute shirts for the holidays! So, I went ahead and made my nieces their Valentines Day shirts!

I took this opportunity to try out my new (to me) technique of making the shirts with tear away/wash away stabilizer and I am still very happy with the end results!

Here is the back of the hoop after the design is all stitched out! I am really impress with how well it all holds together considering it's tear away stabilizer. I kept expecting to turn it over and see it all shredded or starting to pull apart, but it wasn't.

Here is Sara's sweet tweet shirt! I love this little birdie!

And her is Em's!

Savannah and Scarlett will be getting sweet tweet shirts of their own also, but it will have to wait until after we get back from another little trip to see family.
