It was my daughter's first Christmas and I had a picture in my mind of what I wanted for her, but didn't see it anywhere. So I lugged out and dusted off my sewing machine and crafted her a onesie to wear. From there I tried a chick design and an elephant design and when people started asking, I started sewing for them too. Baby Dots was born and my kids have grown up on Etsy!

Almost all of my designs have been tested and approved by my own kids. I love coming up with designs that suit their personalities and seeing them smile is icing on the cake. All of my designs have been drawn and hand cut by me in the "sewing corner" of our playroom...usually during naptime. I use a zigzag stitch to attach the appliques to prevent fraying. The appliques still fray a bit in the wash but that's where the "love my shirt" character begins. I use super quality Monag shirts that stand the test of time. I even had one customer make her daughter's personalized tee into a pillowcase once she outgrew it...gotta love the creativity that is Etsy!!
