"Keep Moving"
Shorts
Fabric: "Traffic Jam" by Allison Jane Smith
People (my sister) have been wondering why I never sew anything for boys. I have two sons, my sister has two sons. So it would be more natural to sew for boys. But I do get caught in the flowery universe of the somewhat more feminine fabrics (to be really stereotypical here...).
But finally here are some shorts for one of my boys, which he wore for his birthday party yesterday.
I called these shorts "Keep Moving", which is not the name of the fabric, although it could be, because of the motif but also, and especially, because little children are hardly ever still!
The pattern I used is the same one I used for the other pairs of shorts I made for my boys last summer. The patter for Pajama Trousers in Heather Ross' Weekend Sewing. But I cut the leg bits shorther and added two pockets on the back.
It's a very easy pattern which you can make really quickly!
Such a cute print my nephews would love it! I'm gonna try and get some of this print coz I have this pattern too! Great shorts Barbara, it looks so comfy!
ReplyDeleteE ficaram giros ! Eu estou a fazer umas calças para o meu mas parece-me que vão ser calças de pijama pois estão a ficar demasiado "apalhaçadas" ;-)
ReplyDeleteFINALMENTE!!! Estão giros!!! Mas em relação ao padrão, confresso que gosto de padrões mais clássicos (risquinhas ou quadradinhos, de duas cores). Mas parabéns pelos calções, que acho que são mesmo a cara do ... AB
ReplyDeletePodes ver se Trafikverket quer fazer uma encomenda! Talvez seria o meu uniforme futuro?

@Zura: I saw recentley that they also had the same print in different colour backgrounds. The blue was nice too. Thanks! I think my son likes them too and finds them very comfy.
ReplyDelete@Brikebrok: Obrigada Vera! Percebo o que queres dizer com "apalhacado"... Estes calcões se calhar também fiaram um pouco assim por serem tão largos. O meu filho tem umas pernas de spaghetti! Depois mostra as calcas.
@Mana Ana: O tecido aos quadradinhos para o teu FM já cá está, lavadinho...agora falta só fazer os calcões!
@Mónica: Se calhar ia alegrar o vosso ambiente de trabalho. Propõe lá aos teus colegas que comeco já a coser. Mas pensando melhor, faltam as salas das vossas eternas reuniões no padrão do tecido, e depois mudo o nome do uniforma para "Keep Talking" ;) Hi! HI!
Gorgeous. If I had a son...this is exactly what I would make for him!
ReplyDeleteThey're great!
