New Mercies can Applique! Yay!

A is for Applique!

I'm incredibly excited about my ability now to Applique!!! This is exciting because it extends into so many things: baby goods, t-shirts, kitchen towels, school gear, etc!

In addition to numbers and letters, some cute patterns I have so far include Hearts, Dinosaurs, Ducks, Christmas Tree, Candy Cane, and many more! Plus, I've already got a collection of fabrics to use exclusively for fun and bright applique objects! Soon, I'll post some picture of my latest creations!

We Officially do Monogramming!!!

Embroidery
First off, I wanted to make sure you all knew that I now own a super awesome embroidery machine! I've already done some mongramming! Four cool things about New Mercies Embroidery:
1) I can use any font on the computer to monogram (and if you know me, you know I'm OBSESSED with fonts!) I have compiled nearly 50 fonts that will look terrific on any baby or household items!
2) I have 4000+ embroidery designs to use (including a Texas longhorn if you're interested ;-)
3) Any image (clipart or photo) can be embroidered!
4) Embroidery will enable me to do monogramming on the items you order from me, as well as any item (within proper size) that you have pre-purchased: Big Sister and Big Brother T-shirts, Monogrammed Onesies, Towels, Quilted or Nylon backpacks, Blankets, Loveys, etc.

Email - emily@newmerciesbaby.com for any orders or questions. Soon, the website will enable you to make orders and see font samples.

Our Website (Coming Soon...)

Another exciting new development is www.newmerciesbaby.com

It's not up and running just yet, but my better half says it should be about a week!


Blessings to you!
Please let me know what I can do for you!

New Mercies Merchandise & Pricing List

Below, you'll find a price sheet for my goods! Soon, I'll have fabric swatches and pictures of what the items look like.

1) Burp Cloth with Soft Flannel $6.50-$10.50
(with Monogramming - Add $5.00)
I make these burp cloths out of snuggly flannel. Their long, hourglass shape allows for ample neck room and added coverage, while the flannel ensures the burp cloth won’t slip off your shoulder. They are double sided in coordinating flannel fabrics and lined with adorable Rick Rack trim (for an additional $4.00 if desired). All fabrics are pre-washed to ensure no shrinking and washed with Dreft for sensitive baby skin.

2) Burp Cloth with Designer Cotton Fabric and trimmed with Cute Ribbon - $10.00

I use Premium, super absorbent 3-Ply Gerber Burp Cloths; Choose a style that matches the decor of the baby’s room or simply has colors that are appealing to you!

All fabrics are pre-washed to ensure no shrinking and washed with Dreft for sensitive baby skin.

3) Infant Bib (best for ages 2-10 months) - $13
(with Monogramming - Add $5.00)
You and baby will love handling these super soft bibs made with snuggly flannel and luxuriously soft Minky Dot. These are great for feedings as well as those drooly teething moments (trust me)! Each bib is double stitched for wear, tear and numerous washings. All fabrics are pre-washed to ensure no shrinking and washed with Dreft for sensitive baby skin.

Baby/Toddler Bib (best for ages 6-24 months)- $15

I use quality, 100% cotton onesies that will get softer with each wash. You can choose to have an initial, a name, and even a picture embroidered on top, making this a one-of-a-kind outfit and keepsake. All onesies are pre-washed to ensure no shrinking and washed with Dreft for sensitive baby and toddler skin.

Do you have someone special who is about to become a big brother or big sister? Or perhaps, you would like a birthday t-shirt monogrammed for the birthday boy or girl? Either way, our monogrammed tees are the perfect fit!
