Boo to You!

All I had to do was say "model" and Olivia was all over wearing the newest applique design for me. Especially when it meant that she got to pose any way she wanted while wearing her newest Peppermint Rainbows creation. I think her favorite part was wearing the side ponytail. Anyway, she had fun showing off this Halloween design of an appliqued pumpkin and ghost, accented with candy corn, stars and moon, and one lone bat in the night sky. My earlier post shows this on a blue corduroy background that will become a Jumper or a Swing Top for my neice, Blair. But, my little Big Girl wanted a T-shirt for herself. This Pumpkin and Ghost Applique on a T-shirt is $18. T-shirt sizes range from 2/3 Toddler to 7/8 Youth, and can be either short or long sleeved. Send me an email if you have any questions or are ready to place an order. I can't wait to hear from you!!

Ghost and Pumpkin Applique

This is a test of the Ghost and Pumpkin Applique, and I think it turned out really well. When I was tweaking out the photo, I noticed that I didn't snip the threads on the Ghost's face and between the letters of the word "Boo!" Those will DEFINITELY be snipped on your finished applique!!

I tested this on blue 16 wale corduroy, thinking what an adorable dress this would make for Olivia. I'm planning to use orange shoulder bows as a finishing touch. The applique would also be GREAT on a blue Jon Jon, making the perfect Brother/Sister set for this Fall.

For a more casual option, I do have white long sleeve and short sleeve T-shirts ranging in sizes from 2T to youth 7/8. This applique would be wonderful on the T-shirts, especially for young boys, and you can add your child's name for personalization if you like.

See the price chart for applique pricing. The base price for the T-shirt is $6.

Itsy Bitsy Spider

The Itsy Bitsy Spider climed ALL OVER this dress and Jon Jon!!

This is such a cute pattern for Halloween. The dress is fully lined with shoulder bows and black pom pom fringe at the hem (see close-up below). The Jon Jon is fully lined with snaps beneath. You can add the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" phrase or a name or monogram for added fun! See the price/size chart.

Look who's back......

Yep, after a much too long sebatical from my sewing room, I'm back!!! The home office of Peppermint Rainbows is gearing up for fall and winter designs. I sadly report that the only thing I've been working on is new cushions for the patio furniture. Oh, and the occasional alteration here and there. Being back at the machine has got my mind working on some fun things for the kiddies. Be on the lookout for Halloween applique t-shirts, scroll applique sets for girls, Gingerbread Man applique Jon Jons, Gift Box applique dresses and aprons in all sorts of fun fabrics! As always, just send me an email with your requests and we'll get working on a custom handmade design just for you.
