inspiration: holiday sewing for boys

Fabric selections for boy's sewing

With the holidays fast approaching, we thought it’d be fun to show a few inspiring images of boy outfits, along with fabric and pattern suggestions too!

Sew a Sketchbook Shirt in a great red and green flannel or a classic blue or white shirting for a comfy but classic layering piece.  Check out these real examples – plaid flannel by Kim MacMillan, white by Spool Sewing.

Debenhams

 

If you’re in a warmer climate, pair the Sketchbook Shirt + Shorts with the Art Museum Vest in a solid color linen or twill and you’ve got yourself a dapper little outfit, just like this one from mcholley1!

Colorblock the Field Trip Raglan in a heavy interlock or felted adult sweaters (go up a size for layering) and throw it over a Sketchbook Shirt with some brightly colored Art Museum Trousers or After School Pants for a modern, casual look.

 

teensy tots

 

Or go classically formal with a red tartan Art Museum Vest + Trousers (especially dapper with a white shirt and tie underneath!).  The Art Museum pattern would be great in a more casual corduroy or herringbone flannel as well, as shown over at Better off Thread and Pippi1997.

Here are some fabric suggestions found over at Robert Kaufman Fabrics.

For shirts:

house of wales plaid | white oxford | blue oxford

 

For vests/trousers:

black yarn dyed essex linen/cotton | green velveteen | red 21-wale corduroyshetland herringbone flannel
