My precious daughter-in-law really likes brother-sister outfits for Robert and Laurel.\u00c2\u00a0 So for their birthdays, I usually make themed, matching clothes.<\/p>\n

Since their birthdays\u00c2\u00a0are only 15 months apart, their interests are not so unlike as to make that a problem, at least not until 4 yo Robert’s Spiderman party. But that’s\u00c2\u00a0 another story, another post.<\/p>\n

For Robert’s second birthday, it was all about the charming Wiggles and their Big Red Car. With no Wiggles machine embroidery designs available, I had to fall back on my Brother PE-Design software, with its wonderful make-a-face feature. Here you can select facial shape as well as hair style, eye, eyebrow, nose and mouth shapes.<\/p>\n

If I had spent a little more time at it, I’m sure their Wiggle mothers could have recognized them. But being short of time, as always, I did only a passable job of it. But in the eyes of two year old Robert, the stitched out Wiggles looked like his guys fer sure.<\/p>\n

Making the yellow Wiggles “cloud” was easy enough and I was able to match the text with the fonts in my software.<\/p>\n

The one piece Jon-Jon pattern in Martha’s Favorite Appliques <\/em>\u00c2\u00a0book is so quick and simple that you can easily justify making a garment for any occasion. The accompanying girl’s A-line jumper is equally fast.<\/p>\n

At the time, I\u00c2\u00a0was unaware\u00c2\u00a0that The Wiggles were coming to Orlando for a live performance just 3 months later.<\/p>\n

Robert and Laurel were so excited to have their\u00c2\u00a0Wiggles \u00c2\u00a0outfits to wear to the performance.<\/p>\n

Both patterns are fully lined, eliminating the need for finishing the hem or armscye. I found a really cute cotton print that simply had rows and rows of Happy Birthday text in bright colors. So I used that to line the outfits and for the tablecloths. I wish I had bought the whole bolt. The tablecloths have been used several times since then and are beginning to show signs of wear (read “party stains”).<\/p>\n

There probably won’t be many more matching birthday outfits, or even brother sister outfits. But I certainly am enjoying the time I have to dress them alike.<\/p>\n
