If you have sons, you are forced to learn how to sew. Boy's clothing in shops is either cheecky, childish or extremely expensive.
The advantage of homemade children's clothing is that your child looks more unique. And I think Abel will definitely look unique in these three cheerful summer pants.
Because sometimes, our sons want to be extravagant as well. It doesn't always have to be skirts and dresses!
Three times the same pants.
I've spent more time looking for 2 fitting buttons than the actual sewing. In the end, I just took two white buttons and painted them blue. You can never have enough fabric or paint.
I immediately knew which buttons had to go with this pants: the ones that Naais used for her sail boat pants.
Nice combination, right?
Another button problem. I couldn't find any normal yellow button in my collection, let alone nice ones. So I made another pair of buttons again, using a set of metal buttons that you can cover with fabric (always handy to have this on hand in different sizes).
And voila, ready! What would I need a daugther for?!
really good to play in!!!
ReplyDeleteYES! I have two boys and know exactly what you mean! Love these! Left a comment on your other blog but now I understand you post the same things in English here, right? I've only just very recently discovered your blog... So much inspiration! Where is this pattern from?
ReplyDeleteLove the color combinations. The red striped one reminds me a little of an Evel Knievel jumpsuit -- I hope that your boy doesn't take to jumping his bike over something flaming!
ReplyDeleteOh these are wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI agree all the boy stuff in shops is too sporty or something!
So so so lovely!!!
