BABY DOLL PRAM Machine Embroidery Applique Design Pattern...

I loved it when my little one was in a pram - I really enjoyed our time out walking.  I do admit in hindsight that I had a small obsession with prams - at one stage I had four.  My favorite being an old navy blue and silver Emmaljunga. 

This applique design is the quintessential pram - timeless, classic, stylish.  Sew it out on a t-shirt as a gift for a Mom-to-be or on a nappy bag.  Sew it out and glue it to some blank card for a unique gift card.  It's available in 3 sizes.

EASTER EGG FUN Combo of Ric rac, Harlequin and Dotty Machine Embroidery Applique Design Patterns

This appliqué range of Easter eggs is a combo of three of my Easter Egg designs - Harlequin Easter Egg, Dotty Easter Egg and Ric Rac Easter Egg.

3 sizes - 3", 4" and 5"

4x4 hoop - 3" x 2.2" and 3.92" x 2.87"

BOTANICAL LEMON Machine Embroidery Applique Design Pattern

I learned a new word today!  ...Vesicle! 

"What is a vesicle?", you may well ask.  After a bit of googling, I found out that vesicles are the little sacks where the juice of citrus fruit is stored within the segments.  You'll understand why I needed to know this word when you see my latest design - Botanical Lemon.  I've put in some triple-stitching detailing the said vesicles.

I would love to know what you think of Botanical Lemon.  I think it would look really fun on table linen - napkins, tea-towels, table cloths.  For garments it would look too cute on a white t-shirt or on the bottom of a skirt or shorts. 

To really show off this great lemon shape, there is also the whole lemon design.  All you need to do is choose your fabric!

3 sizes - 3", 4" and 5"
Sizes:
4x4 hoop - exact sizes: 3" x 1.79" and 3.93" x 2.31"
5x7 hoop - exact sizes: 5" x 2.92"

ELINA ELEPHANT Machine Embroidery Applique Design Pattern

Thank you to little Alexandra for naming this applique design, Elina Elephant. She tells me this is the name of one of the fairies in Barbie's Fairytopia.

I like the name very much so here she is...introducing, Elina Elephant!

This applique design is one of my favorites.  It features a gorgeous Double-Diamond Stitch edge finish which gives ELINA ELEPHANT a dainty but durable outline.

Perfect for children's garments, it's looks especially cute on a t-shirt!  Also, makes a splash on the babies bib (pictured below).

It comes to you in 4 sizes:
4x4 hoop - exact size 3.9" x 3.5"
5x7 hoop - 4.95" x 4.42"
6x10 hoop - exact sizes 5.96" x 5.31" and 6.95" x 6.17"

WISE OWL Machine Embroidery Applique Design Pattern

Wise Owl is now available in 5 sizes! 

4x4 hoop - exact size 2.9" x 3.9"
5x7 hoop - exact sizes 3.7" x 5", 4.4" x 6" and 5"x7"
6x10 hoop - exact size 5.8" x 8"

Here is an animated sew out of Wise Owl.  There are 6 applique areas in this design.  It is best to keep his face relatively plain and the whites of his eyes as white, but you can go crazy with his wings and body.  For an alternative, you can use white colored thread for the outside of his eyes (keeping the pupils dark is best).

The blanket stitch detail around his face can be omitted if desired.  If you are using quite plain fabrics, it is best to keep the detail to add interest.  It gives him a feathery look.

This is a sew out I did using blue and green colored thread and a careful placement of floral fabric. What do you think? Isn't he gorgeous!!!

I have a favorite thing to do when I'm sewing out an applique.  I like to go to the bottom of my fabric stash and use the ones that don't see daylight very often.  It's amazing how often you strike gold!  You can end up with a vastly different look every time you do a sew out.

Happy Embroidering!
