Adorable Turtles 2 - top & pants - Ottobre 6/2010 #15

   I had a blouse started as well when I did the adorable turtles embroidery set - here - that I only got to finish this days.I had troubles with the neck band - stupid fabric not stretchy enough...   In the end I settled for this contrast red and did 2 pairs of pants as well to match it.
  The pattern is from Ottobre magazine and I used it before for the pumkin blouse.

   The applique design was offered for free some time but Adorable Applique site and is still available to buy now here. This time I tried some new color scheme and I am very happy with the result. Since I didn't trust the knit to hold such an applique being sewed into it I did it on a different fabric then cut it off carefully and just did some minimum stitching to hold it.

   I didn't look that great this time but the boy seems happy with it and it goes nice with the turtle home shoes I did for him before.

Adorable Turtles - home booties & pants - Burda 12/2010 #135

   I got a new embroidery machine 2 weeks ago - In-novis 750E and I had to celebrate it. So it was a little turtle fest. The applique design was offered for free I think some time but Adorable Applique site and is still available to buy now here.
   The shoes is the same pattern as the monkeys one tested here.
   The pants are from Burda Style Magazine  12/2010 pajamas 135 that I also worked for Christmas and that were a big hit with my boy - here.
   I am very happy with the result and even more happy that my boy loves them.
