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.

Pumpkin Pull Toy Embroidery

Here's your first glimpse of what Peppermint Rainbows will offer this fall. The Pumpkin Pull Toy embroidery design is in rich shades of orange, with a tinge of dark green and brown, and can be personalized with a name or monogram if you wish.

I usually do a model design and outfit with a girl's item, but I decided to mix it up this time. These Jon Jons are made of 100% cotton broadcloth in brown and white gingham. They are fully lined and have buttons at the shoulders and a snap bottom. If your weather is cooler during the fall, you can opt to have a Long Jon instead.

The same fabric and embroidery design can be used to make a Jumper Dress or Swing Top and any of our girl's bottoms. Just think how sweet a Brother/Sister combination would be in the Pumpkin Patch this fall!

The "create your own outfit" environment at Peppermint Rainbows allows for your personal style and preferences to be represented on your little ones. Simply choose the garment item(s) you like best from our menu, add any embroidery or personalization, and send us an email! It's that simple.

Reversible Bibs now available!!

These reversible bibs are adorable!! I did this one for my niece, Blair, who will be celebrating her First Birthday on October 10th. She needed something VERY SPECIAL to catch all those rogue cake crumbs that will fall from her fingertips as she devours her Birthday Cake. So, Peppermint Rainbows came to the rescue!!

Blair's bib is made with 100% cotton woven fabric in Duck Egg Paisley and a polly/cotton blend in White Minky Dot. The crown applique is also in White Minky Dot, and a single letter can be added for personalization. There is a snap closure at the back of the neck.

Blair's Bib: $12. Crown Applique with 1 letter, additional $6



I just HAD to make another bib, so why not for Blair? Sshhh!!! Don't tell her Mommy ~ it's a surprise!! This one is made of 100% cotton woven fabric in pink and light brown "petals" with off-white accents, and is backed in solid pink. I chose an off-white thread for the embroidery of her name, or choose a monogram in either off-white or brown.

Blair's Bib: $12. Monogram or Name, additional $6


I'll be adding more fabric choices later this weekend, but I just had to post the finished bib now for you all to see!
