I think this is perfect for fall and even UT events

Summery here but add a long sleeve and boots and it's seasonal!



A little longer, hits just below the knee but you can have it any length you want

These skirts are simple and comfy but so cute! I absolutely love this orange and chocolate fabric, too.  Skirts available size 6 months up, but I will need some measurements from you to get it just right. (Don't worry, they are simple to get)  Just send me an email and I will let you know what I need. crystal@jcstitches.com  Ruffle Tier Skirts ~ $20 each

Ruffle Pillow Case Dress

Ruffle Pillow Case Dress with Material Tie

Very Cute and Patriotic - Red, White, and Blue

Close up of the red

Blue with silver stars

Tie is made from ruffle material instead of using ribbon- makes it softer and more comfy!



I am very excited to add a twist to my pillow case dresses - the girly ruffle to the bottom and coordinating tie made from the same material.  This one is red, white, and blue but still very girly! It is longer than the regular pillow case dress, too.  This one is size 18 months but I can make it in any size from 6 months to 12 Girls. $35 each plus shipping UT Ruffle Pillow Case Dress coming hopefully tomorrow!!

BALLERINA RAG DOLLS

Sweet girls with Look-A-Like dolls that love the things they love, too!
Ballerina with BUN!

Ballerina and Soccer Star
These sweet girls received dolls as a gift from their Grandma.  The Ballerina was a challenge, but she turned out so sweet and pretty!  She has a bun in her hair, ballet slippers, and a matching tutu and leotard! She also wears glasses, since the girl she was made for also wears glasses.  The glasses are removable, too. The other doll is a soccer player, similar to the one I made for Billie~ which was the first doll I ever made.  I am in love with these dolls!  Billie fell in love with the ballerina, so I will be making her one of those soon.   In the works at JC Stitches now: UT Vol gear!! Dresses, tunics, dolls, burp clothes, and more!  I hope to get some completed and up on the blog this week, so check back later for that.

BURP CLOTHES

Cute and Stylish - pick a cotton to match a pillow case dress or  reversible criss-cross tunic

Super soft flannel and super absorbent, too!
These burp clothes are so soft and absorbent on one side, and super stylish and cute on the other! Get a burp cloth to match any dress or tunic, or get a pack of burp clothes for a shower gift.  Matching bibs coming soon.  One burp clothe ~ $10, or a pack of 4 in coordinating colors for $30.  All are perfect for personalizing!

REVERSIBLE CRISS-CROSS TUNIC

I am in love with this criss-cross tunic!  It is so cute, so comfy, so easy, and so reversible!!! I will eventually have some ruffle capri pants to go with it, but until then you need to pick up your own - it would go great with leggings or just simple bloomers like I put on Harper for these photos:

Silly girl!

This is the front of the "inside"

Back of the "inside" - this is why it is called the criss-cross tunic

Reversed! The front of the "outside" ~ I actually thought I liked this pattern best, but now that I see it on her, I think I might like the other one just as much, if not more.  The cool thing is that it is two tunics in one!

The back - this one I did matching front and back, the other I did coordinating and I think I like that better!

With her standing you can see the length better, it is a tunic, not a dress.


A criss-cross tunic and  matching rag doll from JC Stitches would be a perfect gift for any little girl!

"Peek-a-boo!" This was just to cute not to show!
These tunics are perfect for the summer! To order email me at crystal@jcstitches.com.  I can do 3 months all the way up to girl size 12.  The one I made for Harper is a 6-9 months.  Price ~ $30- plus shipping.  Did you know if you are in town - Knoxville, TN and surrounding area - I will hand deliver your order wrapped in a gift bag w/tissue? No extra charge, no shipping!

(*Note - I know the price is more than my dresses, but since it is reversible it is actually double the material)

MATCHING DRESS AND DOLL

Pink Pillow Case Dress

This sweet doll is for a special birthday girl (SSHHH! it's a surprise!)

I absolutely love these patterns and how well they turned out together.  It is so soft and sweet and girly, but quirky and whimsical, too! My favorite combination to date!

Matching doll and dress! Special- both for $40! (add $4 if you get the tri-color dress like is pictured here)

I name all of my dolls as I am making them and this one is no exception, but I can't tell you her name yet because I named her after the girl I was making her for and it is a birthday surprise.  All of my doll names end in a -y-or -ie sound, and the fabulous little girl this doll is for already had a perfect fitting name for her.

MEET ALLY


Meet Ally, a super sweet, super pink rag doll for a special girl that is turning 1 year old in a few days!  She was so fun to make, my first light brown hair girl.  I used light pink and brown materials and she is extra girly with light pink bows.  I even added a pretty bow to her shirt that matches those in her hair and on her skirt.  I think Ally is so special, and Billie loved her, too.  She was sort of wishing she had a rag doll just like Ally that could maybe be friends with Abby, so I think I will try to make her one soon.  If you want a rag doll they are $23 plus shipping and you pick the colors.  Email your order to crystal@jcstitches.com. If you want to make your own super cute, super fun, super personalized rag doll you can buy the pattern at Shiny Happy World and she even has wonderful tutorials to help you along the way. 

GIRAFFE AND BLANKY

This sweet giraffe and matching blanky is for a baby shower gift.  They both turned out so sweet and special.  Billie, my 11 year old, still treasures her "blanky and Cody"(her blanket and stuffed dog she has had since she was teeny-tiny.)  I imagine this blanket as that type of heirloom quality blanket.  It is hand finished and I used super soft dot material for one side, super silky giraffe material for the other and trimmed it all with special silky "feelies" as Billie calls them.  This was a learning experience for me, making this blanket.  I learned a lot about rotary cutting and hand sewing.  I enjoyed all of it so much.  I especially enjoyed making the giraffe.   I already posted a previous blog about my first attempt at the giraffe.  This I did from the same pattern and just used sweet little baby boy fabric to finish it off.  It turned out perfect, if you ask me.  I am so pleased and I hope the baby boy that receives it will love it for years to come, too.  If you want a giraffe, I am offering them for $12 plus shipping.  You pick the color scheme. Just send me an email if you want to place an order crystal@jcstitches.com.

SWEET NAPKINS


OK, these have nothing to do with dolls or baby clothes, but I absolutely love them and because they are just so sweet, I had to put them up.  They are super easy to make, and you can go to Shiny Happy World to get the FREE pattern and make them yourself.  They are great practice for beginners - turning corners and top stitching, and great practice for making baby blankets - which is what I am now working on! I got this material for Mother's Day and really wanted to make kitchen curtains out of it, but since I do not have a window in my kitchen and only sky lights (they would look very silly with curtains, don't you think?) I made napkins.  It matches my every day china and it will make our next family dinner feel like a feast - even if it is frozen pizza! If you aren't ready to make some for yourself but want some, shoot me an email at crystal@jcstitches.com and let me know color/pattern you would like and I will hook you up! 4 napkins for $12.
