2014-May: Ocean Life Twin Onesies

Custom work for TWIN girls!  I used E's pop-up animal sounds book about ocean life to find images of various sea creatures.  I think they came out great!






2014-May: Space Onesie

Space!! More custom work for Little Brother.  And yes, that is an accurate solar system on the sleeves, OF COURSE!  The most fun (and actually trickiest) was layering the watercolor technique of the background . . . and adding those silver stars.








2014-May: Pets Onesie

Another commission!  Little brother needed a onesie to match his big sister's family pets shirt I had done. :)







2014-April: Cat and Bunny Shirt

This is a shirt I had been painting on the side of some others, mostly to use up extra paint!  I would add to it bit by bit with various colors.  I was going to sell it in my shop, but ended up keeping it for E.  I like the style of the "animals in gardens" theme I was doing at the time and will probably make more like this!







2014-April: Butterfly Fairies Shirt

This is the second shirt my friend commissioned me to do at the same time as the mermaids one.  It's convenient to hand-paint two shirts at once; while one is drying, you can add to the next!






2014-April: Mermaid Shirt

Another shirt I was commissioned to do for a friend.  I really loved doing the scales on the arms!!  I also like how the hair turned out, along with the matching design on the cuffs.






2014-March: Appliqued Balloon Pants (with ribbon tail)

Here is some minor sewing I did: E's costume for her preschool performance!  She wanted to be a pony (Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony), so I appliqued some sweatpants for the "cutie mark" by her bottom and tied together some ribbons for a tail "belt".  Oh, and made a little packet of grass for her to "eat".  Here it is!

I cut out balloons from woven fabric

Pinned then zig-zagged in place

Finished off with sparkly fabric paint!

Here she is wearing the whole deal right before the show.
Nothing fancy, but a lot of fun for her!
