Child #3 will soon be off to a week long camp. This is the first time he'll stay away from home for so long and we're all super excited for him. What a fun, new adventure this will be.
All the camp preparation, of course, gave me a good excuse to do a bit of boy sewing. I must admit, I find sewing for boys in general a bit tricky, so I was very happy to see my son loved all the makes (he always makes sure nothing looks too girly).
I sewed up a wallet to keep his cash in. It was a bit fiddly to make and the seam ripper and I became quite good friends (mostly because I was making things up as I went). I do love how it turned out, though so I guess it was worth all the headache :).
I made him a drawstring bag, of course. Aren't these little monsters the cutest?
And, I used this fantastic tutorial to make him a new Pokemon pillow case (and one for his Pokemon loving sister, as well).
I'm curious, what do you like to sew for boys (big or little) in your life?
Wishing you all a creative day. Svetlana
Hi Svetlana..... these are great! Beautiful work as always! You're blog looks great by the way, it's been a while. Glad to see you're still sharing and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteLove the Pokemon pillowcases :D
ReplyDeletethose are great! my son (23) still loves when I sew for him. quilts, pillows, placemats most recently
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the pillowcase tutorial. That looks easy and a fun bonus to go to kids who might be too big for some other things. My dad and my nephew (age 21) are always happy to receive a new quilt to snuggle under.
ReplyDeleteHi Svetlana! I've been following you for a while so a) hello! And b) I love Mario so i had to say the wallet is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI most recently made a quilt (my first "real"one) for my 17 year old nephew. I find that age to be quite difficult to figure out what might be appreciated! You can see it at http://www.thecrafties.com/2016/06/cams-quilt/
Don't miss him too much while he is gone;)
Such cute things! I also make quilted box bags for boys - for their toiletries.
ReplyDeleteI love it all! Is it bad to admit I would carry the wallet? Lol. Mario has always been one of my favorite videogames. 😊
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I just made a bunch of pouches using your drawstring bag pattern for some little boys in my son's daycare class (to hold art supplies as a party gift) and one for my son (to hold the small collection of toy cars that we take with us to restaurants). I have a bigger bucket that holds the large collection of toy cars and I've made some custom pillowcases for him, and of course he has a quilt he sleeps with almost every night.
ReplyDeleteLove that cute monster drawstring! I have sewn pajama pants, pillow cases and many treasure bags (using your drawstring pattern) for boys.
ReplyDeleteThese creations look really beautiful. Am sure your child must have loved it. Good Job! :)
ReplyDeleteI sew my sons schoolbags, this week I need to make 2 (some procrastination bothering me this holiday ;) )
