Another T-Shirt commission. Here is a closer view of the front …
Here is the back…
And a closer view of the back …
I’m really pleased with how this one turned out – very girly.
The font is Love Letters from GG Designs.
The Strawberry design on the back is from Itty Bitty Spring Fling from Designs By JuJu.
The heart and circle I digitised using Thred.
Tomorrow marks my Second Blog Anniversary and I’m thinking of some kind of give away (probably a T-Shirt like this one).

I’ve been making a few presents for some little people …

I finished in time ….
I’ve also been putting little presents in the pockets as well – hair clips, stickers, lolly snakes …
I’m also making some christmas T-Shirts.
I didn’t stabilise this enough – see all of the puckers? And it took two hours to stitch out – with all of the thread changes and careful cutting of the applique fabric, but I think P will be happy with it.
Below is the one A picked – this is just an image from Embird.
I haven’t decided the fabric yet (which then determines the thread colours). I’ll use a layer of romeo in the hoop to try to eliminate the puckers.

The buttons are on. Now I’ve just got to finish the ornaments…

All of the pockets are attached! I need to sew the buttons onto the tree and finish off the ornaments.

A pile of pockets ready to be sewn on and ornaments in a production line …
The ornaments are a machine embroidery design from here. They’ve used velvet as the base whereas I have used felt, so I’m not sure how to cut the edges away (they used a candle and melted the edges, but I’m not sure if that would work with felt). I’ve made 8 so only 16 to go … (I am feeling positive that I will get it done in time).

I’m quilting the base and I’ve made one ornament …
The Star consists of a front and a back and I didn’t manage to sew them together very well.

I’ve decided to make an Advent Calendar – just to put myself under a bit more pressure. I got the idea from here, but it’s developed a mind of it’s own.
Each pocket will have a number embroidered on it. I haven’t quite decided on the position of the pockets yet – the one above is just placed on the quilt.
I’m going to sew buttons onto the tree from which we can hang ornaments (they’ll be stored in the pockets).
The ornaments are going to like this …
The number is on the back of the ornament. There will also be a star, tree and stocking (so six of each type).
I still have all of the pockets and the ornaments to sew as well as quilting the base. So lots to do and not much time.

Another T-Shirt – design from here – on my machine it takes 49 minutes of sewing time (more real time because of all of the colour changes).
