I have lots of trouble figuring out what gift I should give my boyfriend for the holidays. Well the solution to that problem is to get a collar button down shirt and embroider something really cool on it. Now it is hard to find just the right embroidery pattern but if you look around there are patterns for boys. I found this one on Urban Threads. I thought is was a totally cool idea and would be very special to give your boyfriend because you made it.

My best friend from high school is having a baby. She’s has her own, non-traditional, rocker-punk kind-of style that completely fits her attitude. Oh, and she plays in a band and is a blackbelt. Needless to say, your typical cute baby garb is not for her. So, Ive made her some bibs that are more her style.

The kid is hip already and doesn’t even know it!

What kind of person is the mom-to-be that you know? Urban Threads and Amazing Designs have all kinds of embroidery designs, from hip to traditional, rocker to whimsical (designs in the image are from Urban Threads).

My sister recently asked me to make my new little nephew a Christening gown, since it has now become a tradition, that I make the Christening gowns for the children in the family. She wanted something classic and simple and not too frilly. I chose this Vintage day gown style pattern from Simplicity Pattern Company for the long gown with ties (pictured in blue) with a slip.

I appliquéd a cross to each side in the lower corner, using a piece of sentimental fabric (it was a piece originally from her wedding gown!). Then I used the vine corners section from Designer’s Gallery Floral Accents to create my own vine corner design.

Added a few of the tiniest hot fix crystals I could find for accent, some satin ribbon for the ties, a decorative thread serger hem and some lace on the slip and it was done in a flash! Here is how it turned out!

Doesn’t he look handsome!
