Oh to be 2

Wanting an excuse for more chances to applique, I offered shirts or outfits to my friends for their kid’s birthday’s. The response was overwhelming! I had multiple requests for everything under the sun. I decided to make things in order of parties to make sure everyone was able to get their special outfit in time!

A friend of mine contacted me about making a shirt for her son’s 2nd birthday. Through the process of brainstorming for the shirt, she asked me to make him a handful of shirts to wear for the summer.

It just screamed birthday to me and I knew my little honey would…

My oldest niece is obsessed with mermaids so I was thrilled when this little lady was a success! She was part of Katie’s birthday gift last August. We also had news to announce to my family at her birthday party! I was thrilled it still fit 9 months later!
