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.
