Sibling Shirts

My friend Lydgia, is welcoming a little boy in October, and I was thrilled when she asked if I would create Big Sister and Lil Brother shirts for her kids.

Her daughter, L, is 1 day older than G, and it was perfect timing when last summer and early fall that we were both trying to get pregnant again. I was heartbroken for her family when Lydgia had to have a D&C, especially when I found out I was pregnant with MC a few weeks later. It was because of their story that we waited a few weeks before telling the world about MC. Their loss reminded us of the reality of how precious life truely is.

But, I'm super excited that she will be welcoming baby P in just a few weeks, and that they'll L will have an amazing little brother!

Lydgia gave me full creative abilities with her sibling shirts, so I chose a turquoise and green polk a dot fabric. I decided that I would stitch L's big sister shirt in pink, since she would also have a pink big sister hair bow, and that P's shirt would be stitched in the green.

I'm shipping these shirts out to my mom to monogram "Sister" and "Brother" underneath the applique's and Lydgia and I are in the process of deciding if they should be monogrammed in different colors or both in turquoise? Regardless, I can't wait to see baby P welcomed into such an amazing family that is full of fun and tons of love!
