Project Run and Play Challenge 3 Boys Week

I'm off and running with a boys outfit for week three. 

Look at this guy, isn't he a ham?

First I started by creating the shirt.

this was a self drafted pattern created from a flannel button up of his that we had purchased for his nice christmas outfit. The price tag was less than appealing at $26 ... So instead of going back for more I thought I should try my hand at one.

I used the same cotton sheet purchased from salvation army at $1.50 that was used for lily's shirt in  challenge #2. 

Really, this process was quite slow& calculated. 

When drafting patterns in the past I always went much to quickly only to see that I had made mistakes. leaving me pretty frustrated with the entire process. 

Going slow really helped this one turn out perfectly. 

The pants were made using my lily bird studio pattern. I did a pattern review on them & really like how they come together. You can see the review here. 

I made them simple & in the khaki color that compliments his dainty striped man shirt. 

and...just because it adds to the cuteness, I made him a bear hat using velvet purchased at Joann for 4.50 a yard. A super huge savings that resulted in this hat being something like 2.50 to make. 

I got this pattern from a self purchased christmas present, the oliver + s book titled "little things to sew." 

I really like this book and plan to make the bento lunch box next! Also a steal because joann has them, when paired with a 50% off coupon it was 13.75. <3 

I take great pride in making quality clothing for very little. 

I hope you have enjoyed my entry!
