Towels for Breast Cancer

Yes, I said I wasn't going to be embroidering kitchen towels for a long time, but these are for a wonderful cause. 100% of the proceeds from the auction of these three towels will be donated to breast cancer research. Many more breast cancer research auctions this week at Weeping Willows, so come and bid for a good cause!

In honor of Margaret and Betty, two wonderful and strong women.

Beauty Pant Set and Corduroy Jumper

Navy corduroy pants with kanji embroidery. Just a simple ringer t-shirt to match, but I really love the flower print on this knit. I made her a pair of pants last year from this knit fabric and have been looking at it sitting on the shelf for many months, so I finally decided to sew something else from it. I really love how this set turned out.

I've been looking for a simple jumper pattern for her for some time and I think I may have found it (Ottobre 03/04). I've had this almost finished for at least a month and finally got around to putting button holes and buttons on it yesterday. It's made out of wonderful stretch corduroy that I love so much! She was really hamming it up for the camera...or maybe just laughing at Daddy playing peek-a-boo behind me.

Retro Bunny Pant Set

Finished this outfit! I made the shirt awhile ago, but just got around to making some pants for her to wear with it. The pants are red corduroy and I embroidered a little bunny on the bottom of one leg. The print on the shirt has little white bunnies, but they're a bit hard to see in these pictures. I do wish I would have made the pants a bigger size because they are just long enough for her.

I love how the bunny is peeking out from between her arms in this pic!

Finished, finished, finished!!!

I finished the last 20 towels for my order. I'm not going to be embroidering towels again for quite awhile!! Here are some of the latest towels I did. Some I like, some I don't. I really don't like embroidering on plaid!!! But, they're not mine and the person who I did them for loves them all, so that's all that matters.

I love this Celtic angel!!! I will be using her again on some stuff for my dining room!

I like how this apple tree turned out, too.

I've finally got these towels done (they've been haunting me in my sleep), so now I can get sewing some things I enjoy...like clothes for Lindsey!!!

And...four more embroidered towels...

I finished these up this morning. Two "Winter" houses and two snowman towels.

I've been using my embroidery machine like crazy lately! I think I've finally got it figured out and it's been running like a dream! I love my embroidery machine!!! Was well worth the $$$.

Retro Bunnies Skirt Set

Love this bunny fabric...3rd time I've used it in an outfit for my little darling. The red corduroy skirt is one of my favorite skirts right now. I've got another skirt like this cut out and ready to sew. I love the way it fits her and the pictures don't really do it justice. Looks fantastic on her and my 8-year-old neice has already requested one in her size.

I think the little decorative pocket flaps with buttons add just enough detail.

This outfit will also be available at my Hyena Cart store on October 3rd!!!

More clothes...

Pink T-shirt with brown pixie embroidery. This color will match a few things she has, so I wanted to keep the embroidery simple.

Retro bunny cross-front shirt. One of my very favorite knit fabrics!! I'm thinking about making her some red corduroy pants to wear with this.

Owl pant set. I made the pants awhile ago, but just got around to making the matching shirt. I really like how this set looks together! She loves to point at the embroidery and say, "owl."

My favorite outfit!! I loved this butterfly fabric from the moment I saw it. The skirt has eyelet lace around the hem...I love eyelet! The butterfly embroidery is perfect for this skirt, at least I think it is! I'm loving this set...even if I'm not loving the pics of her wearing it. She wasn't cooperating, so the pics don't do the outfit justice. I'm going to try again to get some more pics of her wearing this later on...hopefully she'll cooperate next time!
