Little play clothes for the grands became the focus this week. I picked up my embroidery machine last weekend and had to see if it was working correctly.
Lola's is a pattern from Embroidery Library of the Paisley Pets. I did not want to make Halloween themed outfits like last year so I thought this would serve the purpose. Lola has seen the cat but not the whole set. I was a little hesitant that it might not be as bright as she would ususally want but her comment was " I Like the Kitty" so I knew that it was going to be fine.
I have not gotten the pants made for Julian yet. I tried to convince him that the Paisley gekko was going to be for him. Ted(his dad) tried to help me out but Julian kept saying that he wanted a cat. Finally Angela said that a dog would be great! So here it is, another pattern from Emb. Lib. of the patchwork animals.
I had Nora Ruth yesterday and she seemed disappointed that she did not have anything on the table. I showed Becky(her Mom) my new patterns. Becky chose the Retro Owl. While Nora was napping, I worked very quickly to get hers embroidered so that she would be suprised. Her comment when I showed it to her was, I like the cat better. I did not win. I haven't completed her pants either but the owl finshed up beautifully.
I did get one outfit complete for sale, it will be listed on the Etsy site when I get better pictures. I call it the 'funky monkeys' and they are patchwork similar to the dog.
Seems the machine is working well. I have a couple of things to get out for friends this week so I will have another busy week. I have a fall romper to get made for a birthday present and an outfit similar to these above for a friend that works in the office with me.
On to the next projects. Have a great week.
