Back to School and Fall designs

Ft. Rucker Spouses Club will be having their Super Sign up Event August 26th at the Landing Zone from 9-1.  I along with my friend Dawn will have a booth set up featuring items to sell.  Come by and check out what we have been working on this summer!!!

Check back in a few days to see a few samples of what I will be featuring for now here are a few of my new embroidery designs for the fall and back to School.

Hope to see you there!!!!

Turkey can be done in all girly colors on a pink shirt

This flower would look cute done in all fall colors or pink and brown

All of the fabrics can be changed to suit your taste.

Lion Applique

I have a customer who requested a lion for one of her son's shirts and I found this adorable one with a button nose.  She requested his name to be put on the back of the shirt so you can't see the personalization in this photo.  Sorry for the poor photo quality.  My camera battery died and I had to use my phone but you get the idea.

New Designs

I have been busy getting new Applique designs and ordering new shirts.  I am really excited about the new applique designs.  They are super cute.  I do have a few shirts in stock and they are 1 4T red shirt, 18 mo and 12 mo white shirt, 1 18 mo light blue shirt, Girl 3T and 24 mo hot pink shirt, Girl 3T black shirt, 1 18 mo green shirt and onesies in nb, 9, 3, NB and 24mo sizes in stock now.  If you want a 4th of July shirt I would need to know by the end of this week so I can get it out to you by next week.  I will be on vacation from June 17-29.  All other orders will be done and sent out after I return.  I hope you see something you like!

Rock Star is a whole alphabet 

The fabric in the back ground of all of the designs can be changed as well.  for example the turtle could be done with a pink gingham shell for a little girl.

Prices for the applique design shirts are $16 add $3-$5 for initials or name

Cherries Applique

I feel so bad because I am always making things for other people and never for my own child.  In fact the other day when I finished one of my projects for an order my daughter got really excited and said "Mine?".  That's when I knew it was time I did something for her.  I used the cherry applique with buttons to make a plain outfit look sew cute!!!!

This would be cute on a plain white top as well.  On white shirt will sell for $16

Elephant Applique

A friend of mine ordered an Elephant shirt for her little boy and it is turning out so cute.  I took the picture before I personalize it.  Once finished I will post more.  It would also look cute for a little girl with little pink bows on the ears.  These shirts with personalization will sell for $16.

Hooded Towels

Recently I was asked to make a hooded towel for a customer for a baby gift.  I had a blast taking on something new and being creative with it.  The first one I made with a large towel and a hand towel.  I loved how it turned out but realized that it was too big for a baby.  This towel would be perfect for kids ages 4-7 years old and would be super cute personalized.  If you like it let me know or if you want one similar but in different fabric I can do that as well.  The hooded towel sells for $20 with personalization $25.

This towel the hood is placed in the middle of the towel.  the circle detail is sewn on the bottom corner.  Wouldn't it be cute with the child's initials in the big circle?!?

This towel was done with a smaller towel and a wash cloth making it the perfect size for babies and toddlers.  I added a ribbon detail on the hood and a cute little helicopter on the bottom corner.  This picture shows the bottom corner folded into the hood.  When wearing the helicopter would be in the other direction.

Still Some Fabric Left

Get it while it's hot!  The green fabric I featured last week is almost gone so if you are needing a bib set or shirt get it while there is some left.  I recently made a few things out of it for a couple of orders and it really turned out cute.  I bought all that was left at the fabric store but I am checking into ordering some online so just let me know if you want to place an order.

Bib, burp cloth and wipe holder set.  This set sold for $28.  You can get all three items and one item personalized for $25.  These make great shower gifts!!!

Personalized shirt $14

Summer tote personalized $20

Applique and New Boy Fabric

I have always loved applique but was scared to do it at first.  I am happy to say it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be so I will now be offering Applique items.  I hope to purchase more templates soon so be on the look out for that.  Right now I have letters and numbers, a flower, crescent moon, party favor and a few others.  You can see an example below of a birthday shirt I just did for my friend Polly's little boy's first birthday.  Also over the weekend I purchased two new boy fabrics to make bib, burp cloth and wipe holder sets.  Check them out!

Place your order now while these cute fabrics are in stock!

Colors and fabric background can be changed

This one the cherries are done in red buttons.

This star would be the perfect Applique for a 4th of July shirt or dress with red white and blue fabric in the star.

Summer Tote

Today was the "Make it, Bake it, Grow it" auction for the Spouses Club on post.  Each lady brought in an item they had either made, cooked or grown and we had a small action to raise money for the club.  I decided to make a cute little black and white summer tote.  It reminds me of the little shopping bags that you can use in the stores while you shop.  I think this bag would be cute with a Hot Pink monogram or maybe Red.  I have more fabric if you would like to order.  It is only $15 for the bag.  Add $5 for monogram.

New Spring Styles

I just bought some new spring fabrics for the pillow case dresses.  As always if you don't see a color or a pattern that you want just let me know and I can custom make one for you. The dresses are $20 add $5 for personalization.

This one is all ready to go.  The size is 12-18 months but would fit a 2T as a swing top with some capri leggings.  Matching hair bow add $5.

I love this fabric!  This would be so pretty with light pink ribbon and monogram.

For something more fun.  I see this with brown rickrack and brown ribbon.

For those who love lady bugs. This would be adorable with big red bows.

Name Change: Ava Tate Creations

Here we go again.  I wasn't happy with the first choice of the name change so Ava Tate Creations will be the new name.  Ava is my inspiration for my work so it is only fitting to name it after her.  Sew Precious was too common of a name.  Sew Precious is now Ava Tate Creations.  I have been busy making a few new things and hope to get them posted soon.  Stop back by to check out what is going on!  Thanks for visiting!!!

Military bags

Recently I had a friend bring me a uniform from when she was in the military and asked if I could make a bag out of it.  At first I was a little scared because I had always made things from straight fabric so to transform one thing into another was different.  Once I started I was really excited about it and hope to get my hands on one of Mark's uniforms soon to make my own.  The picture shows the bag with Mark's patches on it just so you can see the finished product.

These bags will sell for $30 if you provide the uniform.  If you do not have a uniform to provide it will depend on how much it cost me to find one for you.  I know recently my friend sold her used ones for $15 each but I think that was a good deal and might not always be for that price.  I also have the digital print fabric that I can make one from scratch which would be $45. 

This bag is perfect for a diaper bag or just an everyday tote.

The front of the bag is made from the front of the jacket (pockets included) with the zipper removed.

each side has the pockets from the sleeve of the jacket just perfect for sippy cups and bottles

The inside has two small pockets for keys and cell phone and is lined with what ever cute fabric you would like.
