Sketchbook Shorts

Busy much? Yeah, me too. I made these a couple of weeks ago.....  Actually Jess did most of the sewing. 

 This is such a cute pattern, thank you Oliver + S. I used Kona cotton in stone (clay? whatever) and some of Amy Schimler's fun fabric for the waistband and pocket linings. 

 Jess did a really good job sewing and learning more about clothing construction. 

I apparently need to go back to cutting out stuff 101......  I thought I used the same peices I traced for the last pair I made, which fit the Little Mister perfectly. 

I didn't. 

They are too small. 

I think I have just enough for another pair.

Sketchbook Shirt

Sorry I've been gone for awhile. It's been a bit busy. I've done this and that but haven't managed to blog about it. I've also done some stuff. What stuff? Hmmm I'll have to think. 

I did manage to make the Little Mister a Sketchbook Shirt from the pattern by Oliver & S. Jess had just barely enough of this fabric to get it done. Matching the plaid wasn't completely possible, but the overall look was exactly what we wanted. 

Then we took about a hundred pictures. 

You get to see four. 

Let's here it for the boys.....

When this fabric came into the shop, I knew I had to make it into a shirt for a guy. I used to make things like this for my boys all the time. They loved it, just ask them! (Not matching though, that would be weird) I borrowed a pattern from Jennifer for this one. There is a little guy out there that I had in mind while making it.....

I really love this line!! Not every peice is as bold as this. The bird fabric from yesterday's dress is from the same line. I just love these chameleons though, they make me smile!
