Heart pillows, please!

My bed is finally done! (mostly)
I made the floral pillowcase's from HUGE ones i found at Walmart and the extra fabric I used to make an oblong pillow. The Grey Pillows I made from scratch and I love! I need to buy better pillows so they are more fluffy and then it will be perfect!
The quilt is from TJMax.

Sew boy

 The train to cozy has a great tutorial for this cute viking hat, click on picture to check it out!












 
 I found a site that has free Japanese patterns on it! and they have some boy options too, just click on the picture to go! I'm not a good enough sewer yet to do some of them but if you are used to sewing and know how clothes fit together then I hear Japanese patterns are great!

 Here is a money cuff from lemony squeeze home I really love this my 7 year old is just big enough to need it, especially for popcorn and pickle day!
 PS. click the pic!



 With Summer well on its way and school almost over I will posting Sew Boy only once a month, but hopefully I will have more projects to share. I've been in a funk lately with not wanting to do anything I sure hope I come out of it soon!

KCWC: days 3,4 & 5

First off did you notice my new page at the top? I have added a free boys patterns page with links! Mostly I did if for myself (selfish I know!) I often want to use a free pattern but I have to sort through all my pins to find the free ones, now they are accessible to everyone and easier (I hope) to find!


I started these pants on day 3 and almost had them done too....then I had B try them on, they were the most awful pants I had ever made him! I swear the crotch was down to his knees, grrrrr.


 I was fed up and tired so I decided to fix them the next day. Well Mr. P was very cranky, my kids just got over Hand-foot-mouth disease and he still wasn't feeling the best. No fixing was done that day or the next because it was spent waiting at the doctors. 

Here we are at today and I am really hoping that after two birthday parties and a baby shower I might finish the pants and maybe my pile of pre-cut shirts too.....thats laughable isn't it that I'm thinking I can?

anyhow sew boy Saturday will have to wait until next week!

KCWC: Tee for B

 B needed some Plain T's to match his Pj's I had made,
 so I whipped these up during Mr. P's nap.

As a side note this guy thinks since he turned 7 last week that he is All grown-up and thus his ultra-muscle-man pose ;0)

KCWC: Mr. P's new shirt

 A sweet shirt for Mr. P

 The buttons are faux and I put little snaps on the inside, easier and faster for me ;o)


Simple side vents for easier on and off. I'm kind of in love with the way it turned out!
Similar to these Pj's I made for B used my own pattern.

Bow Pillow

I made this oblong pillow for our bed. I was going to do a tutorial but I always seem to do things the hardest way possible and this was no exception.....so no tutorial, believe me you would be cursing me to no end!
