New Twists

I have really been enjoying putting some new twists on some old favorites in my little sewing world.  I am working on more canvas projects for customers, which is so fun, and still leaves time in between all the drying to keep up with my sewing.  Here are some recent orders.

This first order was actually placed by my cousin Rebecca in Collierville.  They are going to Disney World soon and she wanted a crown tee for her little girl, Ms Natalie.  She loved the previous crown I made, but wanted Natalie’s to have a little bling on it.  By all means, what little princess does not need some major sparkle.  I was happy to seek out those special buttons and love the end result.  Rebecca also wanted a cool baseball tee for one of her little boys, Garrett.  Thanks again Rebecca…love you and all your kiddos.

This next order was placed by my dad for his wife Judye.  Judye loves Alabama and he asked me to make her an Alabama shirt.  I wanted a total feminine approach to the logo, something summery and simple.  I love how it turned out.  Hope Judye loves it too.  Thanks Dad, as always!

Oh how I love these two new Africa tees.  These were ordered by Rebecca in Texas, but are headed to her mom here in Tennessee and her mother-in-law in Mississippi.  Rebecca and her husband are in the process of adopting from Ethiopia and wanted some very special Mother’s Day presents for their moms…too sweet.  And I was so excited when Rebecca chose these two fabrics.  I have really been hoping they would be chosen and finally I had someone who did and I think they look awesome.  Love the bright color combination and they just scream spring!  Thanks again Rebecca and hope the soon-to-be-grandmothers love them.

The next Africa tee is headed to Christi in Illinois.  Their family is in the process of adopting as well and she wanted a tee to show some love.  It really make my heart happy to hear all the stories of people adopting, not just from Africa, but from all over the world, including the US.  It really is just a pleasure to hear everyone’s story.  Thanks so much Christi.

And this last tee is actually for my little girl Harper.  She has been on the sick side lately and the other night while several art pieces were drying, I found this little black tee I had bought for Harper a while back.  I thought it was about time to sew something on it for her.  She always sees me taking pictures of items for customers and if it is kids tee, she will always ask, “Is that for me?” and of course my answer is usually, “Sorry Harper, but this is for another child.”  She really doesn’t ever mind, but always asks, so I was happy to make something special just for her.  I wanted a new twist on the initial tee and LOVE how it turned out.  Harper gave me a big grin too when I showed it to her.  She knows that H is for her.  Hope everyone has a great weekend!
