GIVEAWAY****Personalized Trick or Treat bag

I was at TJ Maxx last week and found the cutest cloth napkins with this spider web print on them. The set of 10 or 12 was only $4.99. So I threw them in my cart with an idea in mind of what I would make with them. I have been looking at halloween fabrics and knew I couldn't only spend 5 bucks and get what I wanted. So I was excited.

That night I opened up the box that has been storing the embroidery part of my machine. I have yet to take that portion of my machine classes but I took the time to read through my manuel and then got started. It all came together well for my first time trying it. Here is the end result.






Now I only have 2 more to make. Well make that 3 because since this is my 100th post I will be making and giving one away to the lucky winner.

All you have to do is:
1. LEAVE A COMMENT
2. CREATE A POST on your blog about the giveaway
This giveaway will be closed September 30th and the WINNER will be posted on OCTOBER 1st.

GOOD LUCK!!

I just love how the cute owl applique turned out.


I couldn't resist these little ruffle bum pants to go with it...thank you Carters.

Back to School

I'm back! I kind of took the summer off. Today my daughter is back at school. The first day of first grade. Here is her back to school look.

We found the cute little black and gray T at Wal-mart for $3.88. I appliqued this fun little polka-dot apple on the front and went to work on the little capris to match.

My daughter and I both love the way they turned out. I had a lot of fun designing the cute little back pockets and also the front pockets.

4th of July Dress

I picked up this fun red, white and blue fabric a while back and held onto it just for this months occassion. But I kept procrastinating and then I procrastinated a little more. My daughter kept asking me when we were going to make her patriotic look. So Sunday night, I needed something quick and easy. So I turned to my pattern box and found The Lily Top, one of Pink Figs patterns. I switched it up a bit. I left of the big ruffle at the bottom. Also instead of using my serger to finish off the edges of the sleeves and neckline I used some red bias tape to give it a little bit more of a punch.
