Little things for little girls





I have been having so much fun with applique lately. I did my first one on a t-shirt for Madelyn Demaray for her birthday in November, just a swirl of fabric with contrast stitching over the top. The next ones were two t-shirts for Ryan for Christmas that ended up with Daniel because they fit Ryan like "sports bras" as he said...

Then six (yes six) onzies for nieces Cea and Ivy for their first birthdays. Wish I had pictures because I thought they came out pretty cute. I only hope they hold up to washings...

Then Madelyn's onzies, and a jacket for Jacquelyn! Here they are! It always makes me feel like I'm doing these with mom when I'm surrounded by threads, buttons, needles, and fabric. I feel like she would really love this idea and we would do a lot of this together.
