"Sew" Sweet Wedding Ideas

Growing up with my mom owning a quilt shop and now working for Moda myself I really want to add a sewing touch to our wedding. 

Here are a few fun ideas I have found.. 

Engagements pics incorporating a quilt!


Wedding invites in a fabric sleeve

Sew-in-Love Banner (absolutely love this!) 

Have guests sign our wedding "quilt" instead of wedding book and then make the quilt post wedding. 

A few sweet embroidery hoops... of course it will be Sarah & Steven...
I promise, I don't even know who Charlie is! ; ) 


Anyone have anymore fun ideas? 

He Proposed!



On Monday March 19th, my sweet Steven proposed! : ) 
Full story to come when I have chance to breath!

Sew Your Own


Adorable print found on Etsy.
Someone please tell me I don't need this! 
I have got to stop spending money! 

Liv has arrived!

This is a little late but well worth the wait! ;) 

 Liv Monroe! 
Born February 24th at 10:14 pm, she was 5lbs and 18 inches long! 
We have prayed so much for this sweet baby girl and are so thankful to the Lord that she is finally here! And she is absolutely perfect!

LIV, laugh, love BABY SHOWER

A few weekends ago my friend Heather and I had the pleasure of throwing our best friend, Jessica, a baby shower and it turned out just lovely. One of the sweetest ladies at her church, Cindy, offered for us to host the shower in her beautiful home. 
We all had so much fun eating, chatting, making onesies and celebrating baby LIV! 

FREE Printables Below! 


HORS D'OEUVRES... 
We began the party with some hors d'oeuvres & treats... 
My lovely sister brought Grape Meatballs, Spinach Dip with Pita Chips and Devonshire Tidbits (yeah, I didn't know what they were either but YUM). 
Heather's mom brought the world's most amazing fruit salad.
Katie and Raven brought delicious petit fours & cookies.
I made Brownie Truffles. 

ONESIES... 
Then we moved into the kitchen for the Onesie Making Party. I was blown away at how wonderful everyone's onesies turned out. I printed off a few examples but for the most part everyone came up with their own designs. 

CAKE...
After Onesies, we cut the delicious cake and opened gifts. 
I had seen the pink layered cake on Pinterest and fell in love so I had to make it for the shower. 
I used a vanilla cake for the 3 bottom layers and just used varying amounts of red food coloring. The top layer I made strawberry! YUM!

BABY WISHES
While everyone ate their cake we filled out a Baby Wishes card for baby Liv. 


Here are some free PRINTABLES from the shower... 


APPLIQUE TEMPLATES... 
I have provided all of the templates you will need for your own shower. 


(these will print backwards on purpose- 
once transferred from SteamASteam they will come out the right direction)
