One thing that I love about swaps is that everyone in the family can get in on the action. This time around, it’s a swap entirely for Easton – a week of baby onesies. My swap partner requested that I make shirts for each of her children, twins (boy and girl) and a baby girl. I had a ton of ideas for the twins, but I narrowed it down to these:
I also added a little ‘thing’ to the back of the shirt (right where the ‘tag’ sits):
Overall, I like the way they turned out, although I had a very difficult time finding two red solid shirts that would fit them – I wound up having to go up one size. I think that they might swim in these and am wondering if I should try to alter them a bit so that they would fit (I have no idea of their measurements) or just leave them and let the twins grow into them?

I’d leave em! They grow so fast and mom might appreciate something they don’t outgrow in a month. I’d just let her know you had to go a size up to get the colors you needed. Love the shirts!
Twins must be fun to dress, and these suoer-cute shirts certainly will be a big hit. Kids grow so quickly!
One more thought- in a year, worn over red jammies and blue wigs, they could be Halloween costumes.
Hi Stacy – these are cute. If you have a Land’s End near you, they have awesome solid color shirts. Our inlet doesn’t carry them but I can order them in store for free shipping. Or they sometimes have free shipping codes. Ditto for LL Bean.
Even though my ‘baby’ is 16, I still remember how quickly she grew out of things – especially favorite things. When I smocked, I always made her dresses big so she’d get more wear out of them. I’d leave those adorable t-shirts right like they are.
Really cute idea!
OMG!!! I wanted to make this for my coworker, who’s expecting twin boys any day! Where did you get those iron-ons??
