New patterns

This past weekend I started working on my Christmas stocking pattern and I think it came out pretty cute considering it was the first one I made.

I think I'm going to modify the pattern some for the next one I make and see how that goes. I absolutely love how the applique with the pocket on the front turned out though! I thought it would be a good addition versus just a regular applique since you could use it for gift cards, candy canes, etc...

I'm also going to be working on some orders for appliqued holiday tees this week so I should have some photos of those up by the weekend or first part of next week. Hopefully I'll be able to sneak in a couple for myself...!

I've been working on some infant/toddler gift sets as well and hope to have those up by the end of the month (if not sooner). I've been working on a new pattern for the bibs so if all goes well, this new style will be included in the sets.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Bibs, burp cloths and appliques.. Oh my!!

Here are a few new projects that I've been working on lately... I have a few more gift sets and onesies to work on as well still but I at least wanted to post what I've got finished so far.

I was able to purchase a few applique designs for the holidays and plan on getting them out there as well as everything is quickly approaching.. yikes!

More coming soon!

New infant applique bibs

After trying out some different styles, I decided to make a smaller version of my bib pattern that I already had. These bibs are best suited for infants (0-6/9mo) and measure approximately 5" from neck to bottom and are 7.25" wide. Total height from top to bottom is 9.75".

Like all of my bibs, all fabrics are pre-washed before assembly and are top stitched for extra durability. Each bib features an applique letter in a coordinating fabric, an absorbant terry cloth backing and will have a choice of closure at the neck (button or velcro).

What a long journey it's been..

A lot of things have been going on since my last post here... I started outsourcing my embroidery work to some local boutiques and have also been working on new patterns for some of my handmade items.

Some of the new styles for bibs and burps...

I also have some new fabrics, novelty embroidery designs and monogram styles that I'm working on uploading to my online galleries. Plus, an official CN website is in the works!

..More info coming soon..

Bibs, bibs and more BIBS!

After all my trials, washes and tough decisions about closures I've finally made it here! My new and improved pattern is a go and I will be starting to sell them in my Etsy store a.s.a.p!

These cute bibs are best sized for babies that are 9/12+ months. They measure a generous 7" from neck to bottom and are 9" wide. Total height from top button to bottom measures approx. 12 3/4". (I am also currently working on a pattern for infant bibs sized 0-6mo.)

All fabrics are pre-washed before assembly and are top stitched for extra durability. Each bib features a 7/8" button closure and absorbant terry cloth backing.

Want a matching burp cloth? Send me a message and I can make a set for you!

Here are some photos from my last test run... Enjoy!

Sneak preview bibs!

Here's a sampling of some new applique and embroidery designs that I've been working on for the new bib & burp cloth section in my etsy shop. I'm coming up with new designs almost everyday so there should be a great variety of styles once I finish testing the durability of the new bib pattern.

Speaking of testing....

So far it's going great! I've been trying out different types of closures for the bibs as well (snaps, buttons, etc) and will probably end up having a couple of different options for customers to choose from.

More later....

These new diaper burp cloths feature appliqued letters with matching fabric and coordinating trims. (Grosgrain ribbon or ric rac.)

Burp cloths are 100% cotton and measure a generous 20" x 14".
