Here's the first pair of overalls I ever embroidered and they were for Emily, of course. Her initials are ERG.
I think I've embroidered 6 pairs of overalls and one jean jacket for babies/toddlers. I loved home-ec. I don't think they teach that subject anymore. It was good to learn how to use a sewing machine and how to embroider. Plus cook...I loved the cooking classes. The first thing I ever embroidered (besides the apron we had to do in school) was a curly-haired girl on the back pocket of a pair of my jeans when I was in high school. I still have the pocket somewhere. I embroidered the seams of very soft button-down shirt that I wore out. Now I only do girls designs...lots of french knots and flowers. I love the hippie look of the overalls. If I had more time with Bea's, I would have done more. Snow and procrastination got in my way.

Adorable!! Great job. I used to embroider all the time but haven't done it in years. I taught my daughter how to do it also but she has taken up knitting instead :-)
Cheryl, those are the cutest, ever! And of course, so is she. I want a girl this time... :)
Happy Thursday...but you aren't off today, are you? Well, then I hope you are extra busy.
Hugs. :)
You did a great job on the overalls!! And of course Bea looks adorable in them. :-)
The overalls are so cute and so is Bea! What a nice gift.
Those are darling, Cheryl!
love the embroidery work, you must have incredible patience for that! Great photo of you, btw
Bea is such a cute baby! I LOVE the overalls you embroidered for her. But most of all I was struck by you in that picture - you look fantastic! Can you bottle whatever it is and sell some to me really cheap?
That is such a wonderful present. I'll bet her mom keeps those long after she outgrows them.
I love kids in overalls. My kids all wore Oshkosh. We passed them down and all around to everyone.
Beautiful baby.
