It's not very often that I sew for boys, especially my own son. Nearly ever time we go to the local fabric store, he finds some sort of super hero or cartoon print he wants. He always request pajamas. I'm assuming because that is all he thinks his mother knows how to make for boys.
When Amy asked me to test this pattern, I knew my boy would be super excited that mama was sewing for him. We had to compromise on a fabric though. He's ALL BOY. If you can't shoot it or shoot with it, it better be something that is dangerous or really fast. When I found this race car print from Riley Blake I knew it would be perfect for him. I paired it with Robert Kauffman Chambray for the main fabric and Riley Blake navy gingham for the trim.
That cute face saves him from a lot of trouble. :)
This pattern is fun and a bit funky with asymmetrical cuffs and button tabs. The cuffs are fully lined and that little button tab is a cute accent and scrap buster. If you are like me, you have more than a few scraps that need busting. :) Now about this pocket....
I love pockets. There are two pocket options on this pattern, so you can have fun with it and choose whichever you like best. There are also two different waist band options. I did the elastic waist but the instructions also include a flat front with elastic in the back only. This pattern comes in size 6 months all the way up to size 10.
The Butler Britches are a great pattern; but that's the norm for Amy. All her patterns are great. Easy enough for beginners, yet refined enough for experts. And her humor will make you want to buy more of her patterns just to read the instructions.
This pattern is available for purchase in the boys BundleUp sale now through August 29. The more patterns you buy, the more you save!
The Butler Britches will be in Amy's shop, Brownie Goose around Sept 10.
