Pink Gothic Arch Ava Pillowcase Dress

I made this dress for Jessie using Michael Miller fabrics (Mezzanine by Patty Young - Gothic Arch and Gothic Flower).

Brothers

Monica wanted some t-shirts/onesies for her 2 adorable boys, ages 2 and 6 months. They like animals and construction trucks so I came up with these coordinating outfits. They live in Colorado so it's actually cool there already so we did some long sleeve shirts -- lucky boys! Don't think we'll be wearing long sleeves for at least another 2 months.

A lion and giraffe...

and an excavator and a bulldozer.

Plum Delicious Ava Pillowcase Dress

Just finished this Ava pillowcase dress for Christi's niece Brooklyn who just turned one. I call it "Plum Delicious." Great dress to transition to the Fall but the coloring really works for every season when layered with a shirt, jeans, leggings etc. This again was made using Michael Miller fabrics.

Family Food Set

I created this set for Donna to give to her friend who recently gave birth to her 3rd child - a boy. Since they already have 2 toddlers (another boy and a girl), we decided to do a fun set involving food in coordinating fabrics. I think they turned out pretty cute and was only wishing that I had more kids so they could all wear coordinating outfits...guess I have that to look forward to one of these days. :)

We All Scream for Ice Cream

I quickly whipped up this ice cream tank top for Ava as a test run. Turned out pretty cute and you can see that she just adored it!

Newest Ava Pillowcase Dress

This one is done in Marimekko-inspired fabric and polka dots...sassy yet sweet!

New Idea!

Ok, it's not completely a new idea but rather an extension of something I already do. After talking to one of my sisters (Gabe) about projects I recently have done, we decided that I should start appliqueing tank tops and tshirts for toddlers. We came upon this great idea since neither of us currently has a baby AND (the best part) our girls could easily be the guinea pigs/models for these new shirts. Plus appliqueing is pretty easy and much faster than sewing up dresses all of the time!

I just recently completed a cupcake onesie which I think would be super cute on a toddler tank top. I love the mixed fabrics more than just one fabric alone and can envision doing ice cream cones with crazy prints and other fun shapes.
I did a dove onesie awhile back for my other sister's (Cortney's) baby and loved it and think it would be cute on a toddler shirt too. Any one have any other good ideas?? I have lots of scraps of fabrics left over from dresses, burp cloths etc. that would be great to use for these!

Ava Pillowcase Dresses in Action

The Ava Pillowcase Dress

So I finally finished the 3 Ava Pillowcase dresses for the girls (my daughter and 2 of her cousins). All were created using some of my favorite designer's fabric and I think they all turned out super cute and fit the girls' personalities quite well.

A's dress has the adorable birdie on it and was made with Alexander Henry & Amy Butler fabric.

S's sophisticated yet fun dress was made with fabric from Amy Butler & Michael Miller.

And L's dress was made with Michael Miller's fabrics- this will definitely bring out her beautiful blue eyes!

More Baby Boy Onesies/Burp Cloths

I just sent these new baby sets off to Houston to a friend/client. New designs include a seahorse, bulldog, and giraffe. I've also included a better photo of a whale onesie.
