Pockets are good things. I put pockets in these pants I made for my son for the Renaissance Festival. Another self-drafted creation. He wanted something cooler than the pleather pants I made him before, which it wouldn’t take much since those hold in the heat. These are linen pants and a little wider than the […]
I was offered to sew up these strike-off samples, which are more for a younger child. My kids were well past the age that these printed samples would fit, so I went to the next best alternative…my grand-nephew! My niece’s husband did time in the Army as an EOD specialist (think: Hurt Locker), and now […]
I decided to participate in another blog tour by Made for Little Gents, and this time it was about making more than just a basic t-shirt for boys. The blog tour was sponsored by GYCT Designs, and they offered the blog tour participants the Primary Tee. There is a giveaway and sale included! The sale […]
I joined a new group on Facebook dedicated to bringing monthly blog tour related to sewing for boys. Such a great idea! Boy sewing is something that does not get a lot of exposure. This is my stop on the Sewing Blue Blog Tour. See the links at the end of the post for the […]
I haven’t made too many button down shirts for my boys, so I signed up for this pattern test at Wardrobe by Me. I have made A LOT of button down shirts, so this is not something that is a new skill for me. Growing up competing in rodeo, we had to wear button down […]
My kid is a huge Marvel fan, and once he saw the trailer for the Black Panther he was all ready to see the movie. It looks really, really cool. Unfortunately, he has been a bit sick this weekend, so no movie. I did get the lounge set sewed up for him with Black Panther […]
The boy is one of those lucky kids who has a December birthday (I am, as well), so he gets many gifts and being a teen it is harder and harder to figure out what to get him other than an Xbox giftcard. I ran across this book at Barnes and Noble, so I got […]
The boy doesn’t get much sewing done for himself lately, since he basically just wears t-shirts, a hoodie, and athletic pants. Not super exciting for mama to sew. When this new pre-order round came up at Fabric Anthropology, I knew he would love to get Venom sewed up for him! This pre-order is full of […]
When I saw that Sugar Ink Fabric was planning a Skyrim/Elder Scrolls round, I knew at least two of my peoples would be interested in this fabric. I was correct! The owner, Christie, asked for strike off seamstresses, and I happily volunteered. Pre-order for Skyrim Upon receiving the panel, the design looked a little long. […]
Look! I sewed something for my son! Poor kid gets so very neglected in the sewing room. This was a strike off sewing sample for Stardust Textiles. It is part of a new round of pre-sale fabrics that focuses on space shows (Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars, Star Trek). I was late to the […]
