The pants are corduroy and have a cotton waist band with a flat front. The pockets are lined with the same fabric. The shirt is from Growing Up Sew Liberated and is the envelope tee. I have also made this before. I tried to fix the neckline so it wasn't quite so large as in my first shirt. I did improve it some, but I am still not super happy with this pattern. I love the look of lap style shirts on little ones, but don't like when they seem baggy. I think I'll go back to Dana's 90 minute shirt if I do this style of shirt again.
The hat is upcycled from an old sweater. I just measure his head and then winged it from there. I think it turned out pretty good. At least it covers his ears!
He is a tough guy to photography right now, I basically just chase him around the yard snapping pictures. :)
One more picture! I love the blue shirt with his blue eyes. I am looking forward to lots of wear with both these pieces.
This has been an interesting week. I haven't managed to make as much progress as I thought I could. I've discovered during this week that while I LOVE sewing, I like to do it when I feel like it, not when I have to! My other realization is that I mostly like to sew at nap time and then relax most evening. I'll have one most outfit for the little guy to post this week. Thanks for visiting!
Nice! I love corduroy on little boys :) and I've had the same issue with the envelope tee too, my boy's a skinny kid too, so maybe that's part of it. I may need to try Dana's tutorial next!
ReplyDeleteThanks, glad to know I'm not alone with issues and that pattern. I really should do a 90 minute shirt again, I've learned some things since my last attempt that might be helpful! :)
DeleteI have twins, one is a skinny minnie and the other weighs 5lbs more, they are both the same height. The tee fits soooo much better on the bigger one!
ReplyDeleteWeight really does make a difference! My daughter was a much chunkier baby and it has taken me over a year to get used to clothing a skinny baby!:) And I appreciate the info. I have been hesitant to sew other patterns from the book based off that one pattern.
DeleteOh, and I love this outfit on your little guy. Perfect with his eyes, and the colors are great together:)
