I made : Easy Linen Shirt (it's pink!!)

So as part of my commitment to sew something for each day that I'm on leave, I give you the Easy Linen Shirt from the Sewing for Boys book that I bought earlier this month.

Tadaaa!! Pink Linen Shirt

The pattern itself was simple to trace and simple to put together. I kinda struggled at the sleeve attachment and also the collar. But I still think it turned out great. My son couldn't wait to put it on just as soon as I finished sewing it.

My only beef was that the neck opening is a bit low for my son..but that can wait until the next time he needs a new shirt. I'm gonna try out the Sweetheart Pj's using a camouflage print. Gonna have my finger's crossed that it'll turn out okay.

Book Review : Sewing for Boys: 24 Projects to Create a Handmade Wardrobe

Okay..I'm no expert seamstress but I am sooooooo excited that I bought this book!

Wooohoooo!

I bought it at Times Bookstore in Bangsar Shopping Centre. It costs RM88. To me it's worth it since you'll get 8 pattern sheets, it is hardcover & spiral bound, full of lovely pics for inspiration & well written instructions.

The price is well worth it

Not only does it help you to create a wardrobe for your little man but it also includes a section on crafts as well. There's also a web companion for Sewing for Boys where you can check out end projects from other sewist & sew-alongs.

For me, I can't wait to start on the sweetheart pj's and also the easy linen shirt. Does pink linen go well with a 2 year old boy? Hehe..I can't wait to find out...
