Boy Month has officially kicked off at my all-time favorite blog Made. Made’s Creator, Dana will spend a month highlighting all things boy!
I loved her projects from last year and even attempted one of her simpler projects on my own. This year I decided I am going to do each of the projects, no matter how intimidated or out of my element I feel.
Her first creation was some basic pants. She provides a detailed tutorial and pattern that really couldn’t make it any easier. I wanted to give the pattern a test run before cutting into my “real” fabric, so I used a discarded pair of Dustin’s work pants. I ended up making some slight changes to the provided pattern so that it would fit a 4 year old (she explains how to do that here).
After my first attempt I felt prepared enough to use my real fabric. I shortened the length ans dropped the waist a bit and ended up with this…
They turned out great, although they kind of remind me of pajama pants but whatever. I made them, so I can deem them acceptable for whatever use I like. I will admit that I used absolutely no creativity with these as I even used the same fabric as shown in the tutorial. This was my first time to use seersucker and I love how easy it is to work with and how light it is. Perfect for the upcoming summer. Best thing was when I showed them to Gavin and he said, “Mommy, I love these!” and he did not want to take them off. Awww shucks.
Not to neglect Ada, here she is wearing a dress I made for her last year. It is made from the Sweet Dress pattern that I purchased from Leila and Ben last year.
Now, head on over to Made and check out the boy fun!
