totally thread

I have a large assortment of threads to choose from, and my stock is continually changing. I enjoy seeking out specialty threads, such as these variegated threads and metallic threads.
The variegated threads add a little variety to what could be an otherwise bland design. See if you can spot it in some of my examples!

The metallic thread does exactly what you would think - it shines from the fabric!

Not pictured here is another favorite - my glow-in-the dark thread. It was perfect for my son's 4th of July fireworks shirt!

sewing techniques

I realized that not everyone is necessarily familiar with some of the sewing techniques I use. I want to give you a place to check out some of them.

Fringed applique - this gives the flower's petals a little something extra.

Variegated thread - allows for shading in a large design, or just a little fun variety on a border stitch.

Fun Foam - makes the edge of your design pop up from the fabric.

Applique - It's not just an outline, it's a fun fabric on top of the original item. It adds pattern to your project.

Photo Printing - this allows you to add a personal photo to your special item. It works perfectly to help your child learn about their far-away relatives while playing with a toy.

gift certificates

Do you know a new baby that's on the way? Is that all you know about the new baby? If you think the new parents would like to pick the fabric themselves, pick the design, or pick the item - then feel free to order a gift certificate to celebrate their special occasion!

Perfect for custom orders of any size or shape!
