Here is Luke's new outfit. I used Oliver and S Sketchbook shirt and shorts pattern. I loved it. The shorts are essex linen in leather. The shirt is Michael Miller lil Dino fabric. The shirt (size 5) fits perfect. The shorts (size 5) are a little big just like all his store bought size fives. Hopefully he can wear the shorts next summer since it is already August.
This started out as total guilt sewing. I make so much more for Stella. Luke really wanted a dinosaur bathing suit. I thought maybe next summer I'd make him a bathing suit (when I am better at sewing) but I knew I could make him this shirt. And I don't feel like I can just make a shirt. I feel compelled to make a matching bottom. I wasn't really into this outfit at first. I kept thinking of all the other things I wanted to make. But when I put the shirt on him halfway through.and it looked so cute, I became very excited. And he was very happy too. My boy is actually pretty opinionated and picky so him liking it means a lot. Now I think sewing boys clothes is really fun.

Very nice outfit and he is so cute!
A very lovely outfit ! You are brilliant at making outfits ! I feel very scare just thinking of trying. When I made my daughter's skirt I found it very frustrating at time, and very rewarding when it was finished though.
I think boy's clothes are more difficult to make too, so congratulations and well done !!
It is really a lovely fabric too !

Gorgeous Christine!!
So cute!Love the dino fabric. The short fabric is so versatile, nice choice.
Handsome outfit for a handsome little guy!
Love the dino fabric! It perfectly matches with the cute shirt pattern! You're so lucky to be able to sew for your boy... I'm a happy mom of two beautiful girls but sometimes I wish I can sew for the little Mr. Handsome, like your little guy!
That's cute. Sewing a simple dress for girls seems much easier than this. Well done!
Lovely boy, lovely out fit!
The little guy is adorable in his new outfit! Sew cute!
