Costume Number two, Go, Go Diego Go! for Prince C!

Well it is a very sure thing to say that Price C is growing up waaayyy too fast! This year for Halloween he requested to be Diego from the cartoon. I don't mind him asking to dress up as what he wants be it is the "being able to ask" part that gets me! I knew he would start to grow up I just didn't think it would be this quick. *sigh*

Here are the details of his costume for this year. The hat and vest are both form the Little Things To Sew book. I did change the vest a wee bit and added a metal zipper to look more like Diego's vest. I am very glad I did too; it is way easier for his to use a zipper than buttons. He still doesn't know how to use the buttons. {The only thing saving me when he is trying to take his clothes off! I put his dress shirts on him. ;-) haha} The hat is sideways here but there is a "Diego" logo on both hat and vest.

The pants and shirt are both from Oliver + S Field Trip pattern. He has worn both shirt and pants a ton already. He really loves these pants! The are the size 18-24 months. They are a bit big but they should fit for a while. 

The perfect outfit for my explorer little boy. He is off to have an adventure of his very own.

A good friend of mine said that she blinked and her daughter grew up, I think I must have blinked here too.

Happy Sewing!

The Tulip Petal Hat

 What a great hat for the hot summer summer days ahead! I found this free pattern and tutorial over at one of my favorite blogs The Cottage Home. It was fun to make and came together very quickly!

 The best part of this hat is that Sweet pea loves it! She wears it every where she goes.

I am thinking about making a few more up in different fabrics to mach her other summer outfits. A wonderful way to make her and me happy.  :)

Happy Sewing!

Team Spirit Oliver + S Style!

Our summer is almost over here. :( The boys go back to school this next week. I am going to miss the little guys. So to start the first day of school off right I am making all the boys an outfit. Mr. W chose some of his favorite football team's fabric for a pair of sandbox shorts and a matching bucket from the LTTS book. I made his from the sew along form a Little Gray. 

Jessica has a great tip here for putting together these hats quicker and easier than the pattern! It makes both sides of the hat top stitching look great.

I also added a small square applique to the white side of the hat for fun!

I used the sandbox shorts pattern for his bottoms. I do need to add the elastic waist band still and the buttons to the back pockets but he still loves them. I not sure if you can tell but there are front pockets too.

Well onto one more pair of shorts and one more bucket hat before we say so long to summer here and hello school days!

Happy Sewing!
