Little men wardrobe

Participating in the wardrobe contests on PR I learned so much about coordinating the items I make. It all gets so much easier to wear when you sew a few items that can all go with each other. Last year I give up on trying to make an entry for myself and did one for my son instead and it was very rewarding. It also feels a lot more fair making one for him while Eva is always getting hers. And he is the best receiver of everything I make. I simply love, love, love sewing for my son.
   I found this years requirement rather easy: 1 topper, 2 bottoms, 3 tops.
   The first item I make were some pull-on black jeans. I have seen the patern for it in the latest kids issue 01/2018 #16 :

Used some fun lining for the pockets:

 

They looked rather OK and being black it will work with almost anything....
The next items I made was the panel print blouse - mainly because I decided to use the twin print for Eva and I wanted the 2 of them to coordinate with each other. I used the exact pattern as for eva only size 122 for him - Ottobre  6/2010 #15:

This also was the kind of top that goes with everything in my opinion.
From here on I try to actually make an wardrobe and up my game. Denim, specially stretch denim,  is one great fabric to wear for comfort and endurance and I been wanting a good denim jacket for my son so I decided to actually make one myself. I picket the pattern for cool dude denim jacket from Ottobre 3/2013 ( one of  my favorite issues of all times ) #27

I never make a jeans jacket so I needed some directions and I could not figure out what to do from just words. I needed pictures. So I looked online and found Hampton Jean Jacket Sewalong - an amazing resource if you plan to make a great jeans jacket. That jacket has a few more design features then this one but is still very close and helpful. I took a few pictures along the way myself this time:

And from the same fabric as the jacket made a new pair of jeans exactly as the black one:

Now I only had 2 tops left and it was time to some great coordination magic to tie the wardrobe together. I wanted a shirt in the wardrobe to have some more dress up options or to wear it over thirsts. I remembered ElizabethMadeThis had some cool raglan sleeved shirts made for her boys and since then I got my hands on that Ottobre issue and decided to use that pattern. It is a really cool pattern - Ottobre 3/2017 #25:

As you can see the collar is really weird and it looks upside down. I had to check and recheck photos and markings 10 times to confirm this is how it actually is... And the sleeve seem make for a great shaping on the shoulder. Loved that. I also had a long search for the right fabric but I think I found the perfect shades and print for this wardrobe plan:

And to close up I thought to do a simple short sleeved T-shirt in the right colors again and used the same pattern from the 1st top:

I am quite pleased with how everything went together:

The weather is still bad here and I continue to sew from stash so Sewing 38 - Shopping 30 this year with only the items I published and I still have a few made and not documented yet . Yey!
