Summer Appliques

It's HOT outside, y'all! Carter has been enjoying his applejuice popsicles here lately - they are a daily tradition at this point. It's a great snack when we're playing outside on these hot days!

As far as summertime sewing goes, I got a few blank shirts at the Consignment Sale for $1 a piece as well as some seersucker shorts. I'm a sucker for seersucker! I wanted to make C-man some play outfits, so I hooked up the embroidery part of my sewing machine and got to work this week. They turned out so cute!

Also, here are a few shirts that I did for my friend Amanda. She's become my sewing buddy. I "taught" her how to smock and put together a jonjon. I use the term taught lightly because Michie's books and patterns actually did the teaching - I was just the human instrument. We are both addicted, and she's done some really cute stuff!
