Today I’m excited to introduce you to Holly Designs on Etsy where they create custom handmade applique shirts, clothing and gifts for your little ones.
Holly offered to send me a custom shirt for one of the kids. I decided to have her do a shirt for Matilda. I kind of feel like Matilda doesn’t always get the special new things because if I have to choose, I usually will get something for Savannah in hopes that Matilda can wear it a few years later. But this time, it was all about Matilda.
At Holly Designs, you choose the shirt color, the fabric for the applique, the font style and whatever else you might like to customize. So this is what Matilda and I decided on. She likes that the fabric is kind of rainbow-ish and pink goes with lots of her clothing.
I was really impressed by the quality of the applique and it has hand-embroidered stitching around all of the letters which was such a nice handmade touch.
Holly also included this matching pinwheel clip that is just perfect in Miss Matilda’s ponytail that she is always sporting on top of her head.
Anyway, I think you are really going to like these shirts. Here are a few other favorites from Holly Designs:
So what do you think? Would you like one of these custom applique pieces for a special little one in your life. Well, Holly Designs is giving away a $25.00 gift certificate towards anything in their shop.

I love Construction Vehicle with Birthday Age Applique Shirt for your Baby, Toddler or Child especially since my husband’s company sells tractors and construction vehicles.

Oh so cute. I think the whale is darling, but Lanny’s note above makes me think of my nephew who is expecting a son and also works in the power machinery world. Hmmmm, so many decisions…..
The matching baby gift set is my choice…my first grandchild will arrive in January and we are having a baby shower soon.
