Christmas PJs

Here is the official picture of the Christmas PJs I am offering this year! I will be doing a pre-order until Monday, July 23. Just send me an email with your order and I will be sending out Paypal invoices soon. All orders will be ready in September (you can pick up if you live in Birmingham or I can ship anywhere)! They are made with 100% cotton, run true to size and are made to fit snug.

Here are the details:

Colors:       Lime green stripe with red cuff
                   Red stripe with kelly green cuff

Sizes:         12mo, 18mo, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6, 8, 10

Price:          $25 for PJs with monogram
                   $28 for PJs with applique

Shipping:   $5.00 for 1 pair of PJs, and $2 extra for each additional pair

***I have had several questions from people wanting smaller sizes. Unfortunately, the smallest size we have is 12 month. However, I just saw the Kelly's Kids catalog and it looks like their infant Christmas gown would coordinate with these PJs if you need something!  Just a thought!




Photo: ** Warning - Do not like this photo if you do not want your facebook friends to be "in the know" about our PJs!**
Here is a better photo you all can post to get interest before we open pre-orders tomorrow. We will post a size chart tomorrow as well. The specs are:
100% cotton, sizes 12M, 18M, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6, 8, 10
FAQ list here: http://www.facebook.com/notes/blanks-boutique/christmas-pjs-faqs/463419747002814
- We are changing the cuff colors on both pairs, and I will be posting photos to show the new vs. the old. I don't think the change is relevant enough to need to point out to your customers, but I do want you all to know that the shades of green and red will be slightly different on the cuffs. 
Price is $10 even per pair (we had to increase from our estimated price point a nickel to reflect a hang-tag requirement)

Christmas in July

Yes, I realize it is the 4th of July, but I am SO excited because I just got a picture of the Christmas PJs I will be offering this year. This picture is just a proof, and changes might be made, but I absolutely love them!!

The PJs are unisex and I will have both color options available (lime green stripe with red cuff and red stripe with kelly green cuff) They are 6.0 oz cotton and available sizes are 12M, 18M, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6, 8, 10. They will be super cute with a monogram!

The reason I wanted to go ahead and post about it is because I will be ordering these in the next few weeks. If you know that you will want matching Christmas PJs for your kids (and who doesn't???), let me know and I will make sure you get them!

I will be selling them for $20 without a monogram and $25 with a monogram.

Monogrammed Headbands

I am SO excited to be offering these monogrammed headbands! I have been making them for my daughter and they look so cute and preppy! They are really adorable for ALL ages (my mom even wears one and it looks so cute!).

I am selling these for $15 and you can choose whatever fabric you want! It is especially cute when you match an appliqued shirt. What a cute gift idea!!

Updates and Changes

It has been a while since I updated the Chasing Charlie blog! I kind of took a break since having my sweet baby girl in March, but I am excited to get back in the swing of things!! I am making a few changes to what I do, simply because I don't have time to do a lot of sewing. I will still take sewing orders on a case by case basis, but for the most part I am sticking to monograms and appliques.

Here are some of my updates:
  • My turnaround time is currently 2 weeks. I will always try and get your items finished before 2 weeks, but I can't guarantee that. If you need something rushed, there will be a $5 rush fee.
  • I have updated my pricing tab to reflect new pricing, as well as the new/different items I have available.
  • I have several blank items available for monograms/appliques, but you can also bring me your own items. I have priced both options on my pricing tab.
  • I do offer the service of "covering up" existing monograms with a patch or applique, however I cannot guarantee that I will be able to cover up the existing one until I look at the item. Also, because this is mroe tedious, the price is a little higher than it is for normal appliques.
  • I am working on updating the "Applique and Monogram" tab to show all appliques available. If there is ever a specific applique that you are looking for, please let me know and I can find it for you!
Here are the items I have available for monograms/appliques (prices are on my pricing tab):
  • White shirts: I am SO excited to be using these new shirts! Right now I will only have white girls and boys short sleeve shirts available in size 12 month through size 6. Pretty soon I will have white long sleeve available in the same sizes. Pictures are below:
Girl's Puff Sleeve Ruffle Tee
Boy's Short Sleeve Tee

  • Bibs: I use white bibs made of 75% cotton and 25% polyester with easy velcro closure at back that makes them simple to put on and take off
  • White Burp Clothes:
Gerber Newborn 5 Pack Prefold Heavy Weight Gauze Diapers - White.Opens in a new window
  • Gingham Trimmed Burp Clothes:
green sprouts® by i play.® Pastel Cotton Burp Pads - 3 Pack

  • White Onesie: I use Gerber White Onesies

Gerber® White Onesies® (Set of 5) - Size 3 - 6 Months

Even though it is still summer, its time to start thinking about clothes for fall. Here are a few of the new fall appliques that I have. I love the apple for back to school! Keep in mind that I can use your choice of fabrics for any applique.
