Big Sister, Little Sister Shirts


My friend and her husband who have a 3-year old daughter, adopted a 1-year old girl from China. As a gift to celebrate this momentous occasion, I embroidered two matching shirts with Jie Jie (Big Sister) and Mei Mei (Little Sister) in Chinese characters.

One of the two adorable matching pink shirts I was able to find in the right sizes at Target.


Pink holographic thread for a sparkly effect from Joann's.
