Spa Bath Wraps--Great Bridal Party Gifts

I was recently asked to create 'spa bath wraps' for two bridal parties. One being my sister's and the other being a friend's son. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the one's from Mandy's wedding. Those were white towels, with a black polka-dot ribbon and bow, accented with an initial monogram for each guest of her wedding.

These photos are from Corey & Lindsey Dedmon's Wedding which took place just last Friday.
Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Dedmon!


These wraps were made from plush Ralph Lauren towels, and accented with black and 'pool' color print fabric, bow, and a heart applique with each attendant's initial and the wedding date.

Busy Baby Boys

Onesies... so plain, but yet so practical. Why not frill them up a bit?

These onesies were created for my cousin Joni's new baby boy Maher. They are created using Gerber onesie with hand appliqued shapes. This project took a sort of transportation theme complete with sail boat, helicopter, golf cart, and my personal favorite, the vintage travel trailer! Notice the velvet curtains in the trailer! It's the American dream!


Beside it is a simple but stylish burp rag for that loveable little lad.
In addition to appliqued onesies for boys, I also enjoy making girly ones frilled up for that lovely littlest lady!

Cowboys, Indians, and Tepees

I can't believe it's taken me more than a month to post, but I've been seriously busy in my sewing room.

I recently finished a tepee for my nephew Keaton and his "bpuppy" Campbell. Yes, his puppy isn't like most puppies... she's an 8 month old Harlequin Great Dane who sits as tall as he stands.
The tepee is made of denim complete with embroidered stars around the outside that glow in the dark. PVC poles hold the shape of the tepee and make it easily moved and collapsible for storage.

Additionally, my nephew will soon have another "friend" to share his tepee with OR maybe Aunt Keeli will have to make a pink one.

Yes, my sister is expecting another baby. Congrats Mandy, Michael, Keaton, and Baby Thompson!
