Arggghhh Me Maties (Zac's 4th Birthday)

So, it was my nephew's fourth birthday this month, and I couldn't resist getting stuck in, and getting crafty! As an avid Pirate fan, there was only one theme perfect for little Zac's birthday. Here are the party bags I made....

and what is a Pirate's favourite cake? Why a chocolate treasure chest cake, filled with chocolate coins and candy watches of course!

And the special boy had to have one better than a regular birthday badge...a birthday top!! (made with skull and cross bone fabric...attention to detail)

and little sis had to get involved, so I whacked up this cute skull and cross bone tee for her to wear too. Isn't she beautiful?

For the actual party, I was chief face-painter. Zac was my guinea-pig...

and here are his friends (and cousin Mya) below:

MORE Cute Applique Tees

So, here are the other images I promised. The majority of these were custom orders, so I don't have many pics of the kiddies representing, but I hope you enjoy :)

and this last one is a little special. My cousin's beautiful daughter is a budding artist, and drew me the most amazingly sweet flower, so I blew it up and appliqued it onto a tee. Isn't it the cutest?! I'm in the process of making a butterfly drawn by her too. I will put it up as soon as it's done...

Cute Christmas Applique Tees

In December, I got busy making more cute applique tees for my niece and nephew. It seems my first batch were a huge hit, as I got request from their little buddies too (well, from their mum's!).

Here are the Christmas themed ones I made...enjoy!

(Isn't my niece the cutest thing EVER?!)

None-Christmasy ones to follow....

Cute Applique Tees

A few weekends ago, I was flicking through the Mini Boden catalogue, admiring their gorgeous kiddy fashion. I almost spat my tea over the book when I saw the prices! Scandelous! I thought, "I can do that", so that's exactly what I did. With a little Boden inspiration, and the use of some plain, brightly coloured tees, an array of polka dot and ditsy prints, I made these very cute tops for my pretty niece:

...isn't she adorable :)

And I made this stripy number for my dinosaur-obsessed nephew (dinosaur designed by Thomas Key's Illustration skills):

Aren't they the cutest (and the t-shirts!)
