SewBoy August 2013

 Sew Boy August is here! Here are a few of my latest pins, click on the image to go to the source:



I guess the fact that I will be a mom to 4 boys means I will keep this up for a while! I'm excited but mostly I am having a hard time with it, I cried all day/night after we found out #4 will another boy. I hope that SewBoy will help me to be excited and get me in the mood for some baby boy sewing.
Anyways here some tutorials:
  
 Quirky Artist ahas a free pattern and tutorial for a toothless softie, it looks kind of advanced but I think it would make an awesome gift! go here.

 Here is a lapped hoodie for size 0-3 months it is a free pattern and the tutorial looks great too!  
Go here for slightly different directions.

Dinosaur Bag

Super cool baby outfit

Isn't this just the cutest outfit? More for my sisters who are expecting boys in the next month or two.

I used the same patterns as my other outfit, love how easy they were and how super quick they turned out to be!

 The fabric is left over from B's shorts it is really soft so I knew it would be perfect for baby baby pants.

 This Tee turned out PERFECT I love it when that happens! It is soft, stretchy and drapes well. Would you believe I bought it at walmart for $1 a yard?!

Baby outfits!

I sewed for the first time in a really long time last week and made some baby clothes. NO they are not for me I refuse to make anything for myself until I know what we are having :o) Which by the way is set for the 23rd of this month, I am really, really excited to find out!
I have a sister and sister in law that is expecting boys so these will be for one of them.

I love this top and pants! But they probably wont be able to be worn together :o( The knit of the top wasn't very stretchy so it came out a bigger size than the bottoms, oh well they are still cute!

 I used Raes newborn pants pattern and it is still one of the best baby pants pattern out there! 
I did make a few changes for the faux fly which I'll show later.


 I also added a ribbon so you can tell which is the backside (hey husbands need all the help they can get)!

For the top I used this pattern from Dream factory I was really surprised at the quality of the pattern not mention it was even free! You do have to add seam allowances the directions are good but if you have problems you could always use Dana's 90 minute shirt instructions to get a better visual.


We get to find out what we're having on the 23rd I'm so stinking excited! I can't wait!!!!!
