All things baby!
I have had a few baby orders recently. I have to say that they are my favorite orders to do. I love that each gift I make is created especially for a certain little one. Sometimes my clients pick out their fabric and appliques based on a baby shower theme, or sometimes it's made to match the new baby's room. Which ever it is, it is made with a special someone in mind. one of my favorite gifts that I got for my first Little Miss A was an embroidered onesie. Avery wore it for her hospital pictures and it was such a cute memento for her. Here are some new baby gift sets that I made.

monogram initial head bands
My oldest daughter (little miss A #1) loves to wear headbands. She has the cutest curly hair and is always looking for a way to push her hair back. I saw a plain headband and thought, how can I make this special for my Avery. Then it occurred to me, I should make a monogram headband! So I decided to go ahead and try and create one. I was very happy with the final result and most of all, Avery was!

Ribbon trim tote bags
One of my favorite things about my job is new ideas. I had a client ask me about making ribbon trimmed tote bags. I love taking on a challenge so I did! I went out and found a great hot pink canvas tote bag. I went ahead and sewed a lime green grosgrain ribbon trim to the top of the bag. After that I embroidered the little clients name and initial on the bag. for the finishing touch I added a bow right under the handle. The bag came out great. Once I made one I had to make another. Only the second one I added a covered button accent. Overall I was really pleased with the design and could not be happier with how it turned out. I also know my client was happy and that makes it all worth it!

Tooth fairy pillows
Recently my eldest daughter watched one of her shows about the tooth fairy. This got me thinking, let's try making tooth fairy pillows. Then a good friend of mine asked me to make one (that would work for all 3 of her boys,) so I took on the challenge. I made a pattern, looked up inspriation and viola! Here they are. So far I made two, but will be making more styles. I really like that the tooth is a pocket. This item is completely custom! If you have a new idea let me know!
