Fairy Tales CAn Come True
New this week

Fairy Tale Toile & Shirt Sets

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was an embroidery style that was quick to sew, used just one color change, and through the use of shading and thread density, produced interesting, unique, and fabulous results. Then name of that style? Toile. New toile designs this week will make all of your dreams come true. Use the same color for top and bobbin thread and you'll have reversible blankets and curtains!

New shirt sets that feature 3 Little Pigs and a huffing and puffing wolf; Rapunzel dangling her long hair off of a pocket to her handsome prince; Jack and Jill tumbling down a hill with buckets of water cascading down a button placket; and Beauty sleeping over a pocket while her handsome prince holds flowers, sword, and upturned lips. Tell these classic stories on shirts (and nightshirts) for extra-special story time. Looking for placement instructions? Click here.

The difference between the adult and child size shirt sets are the dimensions of the pocket topper and feature. After measuring children's shirts, we found that the collar tips and button plackets could remain the same size for shirts from size 6 and up, with some exceptions for variations between shirt brands and styles. If in doubt, measure the pocket and space between buttonholes to ensure best results, and you'll live happily ever after.


Three capricious little pigs have a harrowing story of escape from a big, bad wolf. Tell
the story of the plucky porkers with a new shirt set. The pocket topper features the
chubby lads safe and sound in a brick house. The feature shows the outsmarted
wolf glaring upwards. Clever collar tips have the words 'Huff!' and 'Puff!', and a trio of
pig heads makes a clever and colorful button placket. Just $6.97 for the entire set!

It's true - shirt sets aren't only for shirts anymore. They also make great embellishments to other garments. Even though the new shirt sets are available for adult- and child-sized shirts, some garments are a wee bit too small for 'regular' placement.

So let your creativity soar! The onesie to the left features the 3 Little Pigs pocket topper across the front. The striped hat features the collar tips 'Huff!' and 'Puff!' placed at jaunty angles to each other. The combination is a delightful, colorful result.

Both the hat and the onesie were found at our
local Target store, and should be available at any discount chain or baby clothing store.

The classic story of Sleeping Beauty makes a wonderful shirt - and nightshirt.
Spinning wheel collar tips are great on collars of shirts, or cuffs and hems of
nightshirts. Beauty sleeps on top of a pocket, and her handsome prince raises
sword, flowers, and lips to rouse her from her slumber. Just $6.97 for the shirt set!

See how the story is told by the shirt with the example to the left. The water well with bluebird perches over the pocket, and three buckets of spilling water tumble down the button placket. For the feature, sewn at the right waist, Jack and Jill are tumbling down their hill.

What a great way to tell a story! The shirt was found at Kohl's in the child's section, and is a
size 10.


Rapunzel lets down her hair from the castle and her handsome prince rides in on a
majestic steed. For this shirt set, Rapunzel's hair dangles tantalizing from the left side
of the pocket, and a Gothic castle tower makes a charming button placket. Fairy Tale
lovers will delight in this charming rendition of the classic story. Just $6.97 for the set!
