I increasingly enjoy sewing clothes for my handsome 5-years old boy but often I spend more time on choosing original and top-quality fabrics rather than on sewing. Boys\u2019 patterns are often simple garments like t-shirts and shorts. This is not the case of the Art Museum vest by Oliver + S, this is a special garment by itself.<\/p>\n<p>I first sewed it two years ago during the summer 2015 and I repeated again in 2016 and this year already sewed his 2017\u2019s one! I feel it\u2019s becoming a tradition now for me to sew a beautiful vest with beautiful fabrics. A boy can look elegant with a shirt and super cool with a funny t-shirt underneath, it\u2019s so versatile!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lavieendiy.wordpress.com\/2015\/07\/08\/costura-infantil-con-estilo-el-art-museum-de-olivers\/\" target=\"_blank\">My first Art Museum vest<\/a> back in 2015 (when I still lived in France). This is a beautiful complement, can be elegant with a shirt and cool with a t-shirt. I felt even happier when I realized that not purposely I had sewed a reversible vest by using snaps as buttons.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/artmuseumvest1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/artmuseumvest1.png\" alt=\"Oliver + S Art Museum Vest\" width=\"590\" height=\"330\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60018\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/artmuseumvest1.png 590w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/artmuseumvest1-500x280.png 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/artmuseumvest1-128x72.png 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lavieendiy.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/13\/tres-patrones-de-olivers-el-conjuntazo-del-verano\/\" target=\"_blank\">My second Art Museum vest<\/a> was very special.
