Suspenders for Baby & Toddler Boys

I have a weakness for dressing up my boys in cute clothes.  At this point, they still let me, so I am taking full advantage of it because I know this stage will come to an abrupt end at any given time.  I already have made newsboy caps and handsome vests, so it was only proper that we add suspenders to the wardrobe!

 I knew these would be pretty simple to make, and I could have easily measured the kids and made them.  However, if I wanted to offer them in my shop, I'd need multiple sizes.  So instead of figuring out all those measurements on my own, I found a great tutorial for them where someone else had already done the work.  I used this pattern from www.hadleygracedesigns.etsy.com
Yep, super cute.
Both coming and going!

I have added these to my shop, so if you're interested in a pair, hop on over there!

Ruffled Fleece Jacket


This is my latest new pattern to try--is it not the sweetest thing ever?  I know we are now in spring with summer right on its heels, so this is completely out of season at this point.  But I still LOVE it!  Just couldn't resist making it, especially since it is a pattern I'd had my eye on for a while.  The pattern designer/shop owner had an AMAZING sale, so I had to pick it up.  Here's her shop link:  http://asundaygirl.etsy.com
This is the fleece jacket pattern, and I'm a fan. :)

In love with the black and white facings--such a pretty little surprise.

The back--notice that flower detail.  So sweet!

This has to be my favorite part--the ruffles and flower on the sleeves.  Too much fun!

It's been added to my shop!


Gotta start somewhere...

The first post.  I suppose it should be something more substantial, but I'm new to this, so starting super-duper simple.  I want to see if this actually works!
