I'm in love with appliques *sigh*

I have always wanted to do those cutesie little applique shirts and onesies that sell for a million dollars on the internet and in little boutiques. They are darling!



It is time to add a new, exciting, element to Cantaloupe Corner. And since I vowed that I would keep my shop lead free (which basically means No paint or dye) I decided on appliques!



I've been sewing most of my life so it was the obvious choice :)


Here are my first ones I posted in my shop. Printed appliques! No paint or ink involved here. The designs show up where I have removed the color from the fabric!

I still giggle everytime I finish one of these. It's like MAGIC!


Tea Party Onesie


Dino Onesie

I love this one. It is a cupcake done on cute pink Amy Butler Fabric. Almost sweet enough to eat!

Floral Swirly Cupcake Onesie

I also added some traditional style appliques with Cantaloupe Corner Flair!

Pirate Ship Onesie

Mod Dot Flowers Onesie
(my new fave!)

I LOVE black and white prints.

The best part about all this is that now I have a new medium for my art!!

I have a new one started already that will be posted this next week. It is fun and colorful!

I think I am in love!

Come see them in my shop here!
