Big Bro / Lil Bro

My newest OBSESSION!!  If you knew me when I was pregnant with Jake, and how I drove my mother crazy trying to find Big Brother / Little Brother matching shirts for my children that I just loved and that MATCHED (I’m telling you that was hard) you would know that it was not an easy feat and that I was not nice about it to anyone.  I just wanted a cute picture of my kids in something that matched and that labeled who they were.  To this day, I can’t seem to find Big Brother / Little Brother items in the stores that are the same patterns.  Not sure why Carters can’t make them match!!!  Anyway, this is what I ended up with when Jake was born.  I guess one of the biggest problems was that I needed like an 18 month / 24 month size for Big Brother.  I guess normal people don’t make a 15 month old a Big Brother so manufacturers don’t make that size.  DOH!

So now that I have gotten better at my sewing techniques, I have created one of my newest collections for Right Up Your Ali.  Big Brother / Little Brother MATCHING shirts!! 

And I have a slight addiction to cute little dinosaurs.  And have always loved lime green (prom 1998…pale lime green dress) so when I found this fabric (AND ON SALE FOR 60% off….SCORE) I bought a yard of it and came right home and started my letter templates.  I LOVE how the shirts turned out.  LOVE.  They care currently on display at my bank since I am the featured business of the week, but when that’s over, my boys will be modeling these. 

What inspired me to make these was a present I made for an adorable little 2 year old.

I figured, if this one turned out good, then more letters would too.  So I am now taking orders for these.  I can do names for toddlers as long as they are short names :)  Don’t be asking for names like CHRISTOPHER or anything to fit on a 2T :) 

Jake and Jared will be getting these too, just because, well, that’s what happens when Mama sews. 

Name shirts are $22 plus $3.00 domestic shipping

Big Bro or Lil Bro shirts are $22 each or $40 for the set. 

Shirt colors available are: White, Navy Blue or Grey.  Onesies are only in White. 

Email me for custom fabrics.  I am currently working on an airplane theme for an old high school friend.  Will post it when it’s done.

Been Busy

Gosh, it’s been a long time since I have posted anything here!  I started back working again so I am juggling both now!  Some weeks are easy and others…well not so much!!

Here is what I have been up to!

Grab Bag of flowers with clips – ready to attach to headbands!  It’s a lot of 10 for $25.  It’s a grab bag so it won’t necessarily be the ones seen here.  Just 10 from my collection. 

I got inspired at the craft store yesterday.  I wanted to dress up the girl’s onesies a bit more and I found some ruffles!  I love this look!  Again, the bow is removable (it has Velcro) so you can wash the onesie normally.  This can also come on a shirt.  I  made a Christmas one for a customer on Etsy and she loved it!  Totally wish I had a girl to put this on!!  This one is $18 plus shipping.

New bibs with ties and birthday ages!  Using a Damask print for the ties.  A nice way to dress it up a bit for your boy. 

My newest item!  Initial shirts!  Just made this one for Jake…almost done with Jared’s (need to get him a bigger shirt!) and they will be matching.  LOVE the Sesame Street fabric. 

Christmas Duds

I got my boys Christmas shirts done and couldn’t wait to put them on!  I dressed up little Jake this morning and bribed him with a bagel so he would pose for the camera.  I think he may have a future in this…especially if you hang food over him!

 

Bouquets

I have ventured out just a little.  You can’t wear this new item, but you can admire it forever. 

These bouquets are made from hand rolled satin flowers!  They can come in any color you request!  Think about baby shower centerpieces (all different shades of blues or pinks!) or any holiday!  You can send them to a friend or just have them in your home as part of your home decor.  I love this and it’s on my kitchen table now all the time!!

See my Etsy store or email me for more information.

Christmas Is Coming

Yeah, I am aware Halloween isn’t even done yet, but everyone is prepping for Holiday photos, which means I need to prep too.  Take a look at my new items for the holidays!

I have one more tie design, just not sewn on yet.  My babies woke up from their nap so I didn’t have time to sew it on :(

This is my new favorite.  The ribbon is fused and sewn on and the bow is removable (it comes with Velcro!) for washing.  You can buy different bows too, so you can turn this Christmas outfit into a New Year’s outfit with a black bow, or a Valentine’s outfit with a pink bow…the list is endless!  I do custom colors too!  Just let me know what ribbon color you want and what bow colors you want!

It’s a steal at $15 for one bow, $18 for 2 bows, $21 for 3 bows!

And if you want a matching headband?  I can do that too!  Pictures coming once I decorate Baby Taylor.

Ribbon Rose Headbands

These are one of my new favorite things to make!  I bust out the roses while my kids are watching Sesame Street and before I know it I have tons!  These are attached to a stretch headband and adorned with faux rhinestones.  Very elegant.  Fits newborn up through adults.  $9 plus shipping!

Ribbon Rose Hair Clips

Okay, I really need to go to bed, because 5:45 am is going to come around really early!!  But I found something else I am addicted to!  Ribbon rose hairclips!!!

Only $4 each!

Ribbon Roses

These are my new favorite!  Ribbon roses come with an alligator clip and can be attached to any stretch headband or worn alone with a pony tail.  I actually just got an order for some red roses with black headbands for two little girl bridesmaid’s in a wedding!

 

Current colors available are shown: Grey, Pink, Purple, Brown, and Tan.  More colors coming!!!

Satin Flowers

These satin flowers come in two sizes.  Large or Small.  (Both shown)  They can be alone on a clip or permanently attached to a stretch headband.  Colors available now are” Black, Pink, White, and Silver.  Headband colors available are: 1/4 inch pink, or 1/8 inch black or white.   All headbands are only $7 plus shipping.
