What I Made for the Boy(s)

Well I had great intentions of being very productive as far as making boy clothes this month but not much of it acually happened. The month sped past, most of it seemed to be very snowy and a whole week of no nursery due to the weather cut short my crafting time.

These new trousers for Alfie were the only thing I managed to make, based on Dana at Made's Knee pad pants (without the knee pads!), they were upcycled from an old T-shirt and I think they look pretty smart. They were started and finished in under an hour, I think I will be making a lot more of these.

I will be carrying on my boy related crafting into March and beyond because the Celebrate The Boy month gave me so many ideas. Have a look at the flickr group to see what everybody made.

Boy Stuff

No posting in months and now two in two days....I'm doing good eh?

I bet you didn't expect another post so soon, I didn't think I'd post so soon again either but as the Mam of now 2 boys, I am constantly surrounded by sewing patterns for lovely girly dresses and tops and skirts ands other cute filly accessories and frustratingly few patterns for boys ( or very few I'd ever want to make for them anyway) and it seems I'm not alone.

Made and Made by Rae blog are hosting a special Celebrate The Boy Month with daily patterns and ideas for boys stuff...hurrah, how exciting. I especially like 90minute T-shirt Pattern on Made today and modelled by such a cute little boy too, I am definately going to make this one, sometime when I have a spare hour or so......
