This month over at Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy, the Sewing for Boys
I used a linen/cotton dobby fabric. To keep it from going totally Huck Finn, I did contrast stitching in orange and added button tabs to the sleeves to keep them rolled up.
Tater tried it out at the creek, then the playground, and pronounced it a “nice shirt.” Glad he liked it.

I love the contrast stitching!
I just love the whole look. What a gorgeous boy you have!
Yep, that contrast stitching makes the shirt. I love how it turned out. Mine is almost done. Just the collar left to attach and the bottom to hem but now I’m wishing I’d been brave enough to use a contrasting thread.
Love the shirt. Contrast stitching and button tabs are great! (Was thinking about those button tabs when I made mine, but then didn’t add them. Yours turned out so nice I wish I had…)
Adorable! Looks fabulous! Wish I could sew like that! Great job! You’re invited to link it up at my place for Wild Wednesday tomorrow!

The perfect shirt for playing pirate or climbing trees – great job! I agree with everyone else that the contrast stitching is just the perfect detail!

My son would look so handsome in this get-up! Love the orange against the linen (and the Huck Finn comment, ha ha)!

Love it – if I ever get around to making this, I will definitely use the button tabs.

Great shirt, it looks so cute!
Love this Melly! It has an old French feeling to me.
Oh, he is soooo precious! And the shirt is too cute also! Thanks for sharing at Shine on Fridays!
This is so very nice and exactly what I am looking for as my 7 yo is going to be ring bearer in his older sisters Lord of the rings theme wedding on August 10th. Is there any chance you would make one to sell? If so, email rlawing@trane.com. I really like your place here!
