Our family along with a huge group of friends and fellow horse folk loaded up and went on a 20+ mile trail ride this weekend! So much fun! My friend and partner in crime, Saundra & I decided our girls needed matching shirts for the trail ride. We looked at several western themed designs, but finally decided on a "yeehaw" shirt...
We originally planned to have all the kids ride in a wagon, but Mary Katherine insisted "I ride with you Daddy!"
Thankfully Monday was a holiday, so we got to catch up on a few things around home. I always insist on decorating for Fall on October 1st, but never quite seem make it. Here's our scarecrow, and we have a huge pumpkin to carve too! After all the decorating was complete I realized I must be partial to scarecrows...one on the front door, one on the back door, one on the mantle, and the big one by the driveway!
Amongst all the trail riding and decorating I did manage to squeeze in some sewing as well. Do you ever buy something and think that you don't want to add your child's name because you can't re-sale it later? Well, worry no more! A customer bought this outfit at a consignment sale for just a few dollars (here's the BEFORE picture)...
I added a circle patch and initial, and here's the AFTER picture...
The same customer also snagged these cute ruffle pants, but needed a coordinating shirt. I love pairing black/white prints as you'll continue to see. Zebra + pink minky...
Last, but not least. Sorry for the long post, I've had a lot going on! A customer requested a shirt with 3 initials inside a circle patch similar to
Applique Momma's ornament trio, but something that will work for any season. Thanks to the ever popular Sew What Pro I was able to merge three circle patches, increased the size of the center patch slightly, then added initials. I also opted to use the zig-zag stitch.
I liked this shirt so much that I did the same design for MK on a pink shirt I'd bought a while back and put up for just such an occasion :) Perfect w/ black leggings!!
Till next time :)
