Christmas Ornament Aprons

We're ready for holiday baking here at Peppermint Rainbows!! These aprons are the first to be made this year for my BFF from Waycross. Her nieces are going to be a great help in the kitchen (we hope!) and are going to look simply "ma-velus." These child size aprons can be accompanied by a mommy size too. We personalized these two aprons by embroidering each little lady's name on white minky dot, bordered with the same lime green that's in the ornaments. These aprons are so whimsical and fun that any chef would be sure to create some delicious treats this Christmas.

Olivia Tunic and Ruffle Pants

Well, O is not a baby anymore.... My girlfriends tell me she's not been a baby in quite a while, but I've refused to listen. Seems Olivia's voice is MUCH louder than any of my girlfriends'. So much so that I am unable to ignore her cries: "Mama, that's baby-ish. I'm ssoooo not wearing that!" Our last trip to the fabric store proved to be very grown up when she picked out the Pink Mod Floral fabrics that I used to make the new Fall set for Peppermint Rainbows. It only seems fair that since she picked out the fabric, and helped design the new top and pants, that it be named after her.

Introducing: The Olivia Tunic top and Ruffle Pants!! Ta-da! This new set got the "Not Baby-ish" stamp of approval from my little Big Girl.

The Olivia Tunic top has two buttons at the back of the neck and the hem falls to the hips. The Ruffle Pants are elastic waist and have a loosely gathered ruffle at the hem. The test outfit above is a size 6.


These can be purchased as a set or individually. The Olivia Tunic top is available in sizes 4 - 5 for $20 and sizes 6 - 8 for $24. The Ruffle Pants are available in sizes 4 - 5 for $22 and sizes 6 - 8 for $24.

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.
