Week two over at Project Run & Play and the theme this week was Stripes and Polka Dots.
I wasn't so sure about polka dots for a boy but I was reminded of this teeny skully print on an old polo and I knew it was perfect for the week. Looks like polka dots from far away but close up its teeny skulls. Love it!
Mae has grown like a weed in the past few months. Things I made him during the fall season of pr&p already don't fit him! So I set to work to create a few new items for him, including a pair of 'comfy pants.' (The only thing the kid will wear and really I don't blame him.)
Both pants and tee are too big but still wearable. Hoping he will get a few more things next week during boys week.
Specs
Tee:
Pattern- O+S Sailboat Tee with multiple modifications
Fabric- Jersey knit upcycled from old polo as well as black knit from a knit tee
Pants:
Pattern- self drafted based on a pair of his sweats with an addition of details
Fabric- Sweatshirt knit from gray up-cycled sweatpants and striped knit from a thrifted knit tee
Great look! Love the pants :)

Wish I could get away with comfy pants every day. And they don't stop growing like a weed...my 14 year old grew 6 inches in 4 months. It's crazy I tell you. Seriously love the look, especially the contrasting pants.
ReplyDeleteso fun, I like that your 'dots' are little skulls and cross bones!!!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Love your design! And yes, the 3 - 6 months is tiny enough! I honestly felt like I was making doll clothes. IT looks bigger in the photos, but I'm pretty sure it would fit an American girl doll! (Sorry, my comment system is off and I couldn't email you back!)
ReplyDeleteoh i like your look too! so clever, the skulls really do look like dots from far away. my 3yo would wear comfy pants every single day too. i love being able to make my kids clothes that are both comfy and stylish though.
