woohoo! The first article of clothing for my year of the boy challenge! I had a feeling shirts were going to be staples for me, so why not start out with one?

I had this lovely grey striped Lillestoff fabric sitting on the shelf too, that was calling my name. I sewed up the Flashback Skinny tee pattern……GUYS it was the first one I’ve ever made. Not tee shirts because of course I’ve made those…but this pattern specifically. It’s been such a popular one, everyone uses it!

But when I sewed for my girls I always leaned towards more feminine silhouettes-not that this pattern can’t be girlied up!

I sewed up a size 18-24 months, and I think I should have stuck with his measurements, which put him in 12-18 month sizing. Ya live ya learn huh?

The sleeves are too long but it fits him pretty well around the tummy and neck! So I might just stay with this size and shorten the long sleeves.

I might still go back and shorten these sleeves…..hahahahhahaaa..

who am I kidding?

I sewed the whole thing except the hem on my serger-dang that thing is awesome for knits. So fast! I was able to churn this one out in no time. I love quick projects!

I also like the ones where you have to take your time and concentrate on every step, but for dipping my toe back into sewing…this one was perfect.

  1. Awww so cute!! Maybe don’t shorten those sleeves until the thing goes through the wash a few times? My knit makes always continue to shrink through multiple washings.

    Cute cute!!

  2. So cute! I’ve used that pattern a ton for my kids too.

  3. That is so cute on Jack! I love the color of the stripes.
