What you will find and why you are here

Welcome to Sweet Bottom Sewing Company - Celebrating a life made simpler by sewing! For a while now, family and friends have asked me to post photos of the things I have made or can make so they could share them with their friends. What started out as a necessity, sewing, has become a great love and hobby and remains a constant adventure. I don't really follow patterns, I just have a feel for something and go with it. From bedding and window treatments to fun applique shirts and monogrammed towels, everything is done with love. Check out the Photo Galleries links below (on the left) to see more of my fun stuff! My FaceBook page is filled with albums of photos of custom orders of shirts, baby gifts, draperies and monogramming ideas.

You won't find just sewing stuff here either. It's become much more than that. Sweetbottom has become a part of our lives and that life is getting put down on the screen right alongside the flags and onesie dresses. Welcome Y'all.

Summer Garden Flag obsession

I have a new obsession! Chevron Garden Flags.  They are so colorful, can really dress up the garden and add a really nice touch to the front stoop for your summer visitors. 

These are the most recent ones that I have made but you get the idea.  They make great teachers gifts, baby yard announcements, school spirit team flags and wedding gifts.  

The fabric is outoor duck cloth and I finish it with a good layer of Scotch guard.  The choices below are just a few of the ones I have available.  I made a stop at Joann's yesterday and had a field day looking at all the wonderful summer festive colors that they have.  I had a dream about the pink and green stripe that I HAVE to go back and get today when they open.

This one I made for my grandmother Graneane for her 87 birthday last week. 

Springtime means Newtime.....

Busy new job, busy two boys, busy time of the year.  I love Spring.  Go outside. Smell the fresh (insert sneezing sound effects) air and play.  Having two little boys means that every minute that can be spent outside should be.  Diggin' in the dirt (gasp) and cuttin' worms in half.  Dylan actually asked me to "paste it back mommy".  While I can't paste it, a clever mommy  finds a new worm and does a "switcheroo" when you distract the little archaeologist.

I have been playing around with new idea this spring. I love the new Frocket shirts that everyone will be sportin' this Spring and summer. Funny, I spend hours picking off pockets of little Tee's, only to sew fabric ones back on........

Applique Markets makes the design file and I made this!!

Frockets are everywhere!!! Get one today.
