Handmade Boy Style Volume 4 – Your Handmade Style

We have had another week of high temperatures and the boys wearing the same old stuff, so I have nothing new to show you. BUT – a cold front came in last night and I intend to get pictures tomorrow to share next week.

In the meantime, I want to showcase some handmade boys clothes from blogland and from my Flickr pool . I get thrilled every time I see my patterns used somewhere, and I spotted them all over Project Run and Play and the Project Run and Play Sew Along, as well as throughout KCWC.

Starting with Project Run and Play – Heidi from Elegance and Elephants used several of my patterns through the competition (she’s also been a pattern tester for me several times), including in her signature look:

Delia at Delia Creates modified the Basic Blazer in her Boys Week look:
The season winner, Hayley from Welcome to the Mouse House even did a girl version (and yes, I realize this post is titled Handmade BOY style, but I couldn’t resist including this one). 
That versatile Basic Blazer is also showing up in all kinds of costumes.
Kristin over at skirtastop used it in her film petit series (side note: if you haven’t checked out this series you have to. Have to.)
film petit: fantastic mr. fox

This Joker Costume was added to my Flickr Pool by Diedelbug

And Cheryl from Time Really Does Fly made this Bert Blazer for a Mary Poppin’s costume. 



And from KCWC, Toni-Maree made these super professional Clean Slate Shorts

And Without Directions made these colorful Clean Slate Pants


While Stacey at Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy! made this version. 


And finally, I am loving the Blank Tanks that Mend and Make New has been making – this bright colored one


And this owl one

    Oh thanks so much for the feature, Melissa! I’m dying to make another blank slate blazer, maybe this time for my daughter…!

    I used the pants & the blazer patterns for the base of 3 pieces I sewed for my son during PR&P season 5… I’m currently blogging about some of the details of my PR&P season 5 looks & this next week or so I’ll be blogging about the boy looks, as soon as I get those up, I’ll add my photos to your flickr pool 🙂

    Like the other ladies, I am thrilled you featured my pants. My son loves them so they are a winner as far as comfort goes. And I really enjoyed sewing them up, so they are a winner as far as sewing ease goes. It is fun to see that your patterns are floating all around blog-land. I really admire that you took that leap of sewist to pattern designer!

    Thanks so much for featuring my “Jolly Holiday Bert” blazer made using your wonderful pattern! Your pattern was a joy to use…from the printing all the way to the final button!
