my friend amanda's kids go to a school that has separate photo days for individual portraits and sibling portraits. how cute is that? the older son aaron (age 7) is passionate about fashion and insisted that he and his younger brother (age 5) coordinate their outfits for sibling photo day. aaron and jacob both had birthdays several weeks ago, and since i was late in making them gifts (as in i still hadn't made them yet), here was my chance to redeem myself! for aaron, the bow tie fanatic:
how cute is that little bow tie? it's attached to the shirt. i used more of shirley's grey cotton jersey knit and some navy jersey knit.
jacob, the little guy, is less into fashion, but i wanted him to have his own design rather than making 2 bow tie shirts. he gets a shirt with a necktie sewn onto it:
here's the necktie stitched down. i swear it's not that asymmetrical!
not sure if you can see it, but i topstitched 2 sets of 3 pairs of diagonal stripes on the necktie to help secure the tie to the shirt and for visual interest. i also topstitched the bottom hems and jacob's cuffs with navy thread.
happy very belated bday, boys!
