I made them almost 2 years ago! Most things they wear for a year, easily. I'm loving your new tiles btw.<br /><br />Thanks Cindy..it is indeed nice to sew for him...I must say that he does as well as the girls though...I love sewing him things that suit his eclectic style!

The pullover looks great and that's neat that the pocket is a kangaroo one...I hadn't realized that. Love the Sunday Brunch jackets.

The Nature Walk pattern is so lovely...really easy to wear too. I am always a bit wary about camouflage fabric, but the colours in this are lovely and soft. <br /><br />Thank you Joy...The best bit is that the pockets are kangaroo pockets(?) They go all the way accross the front...my husband told him he could shake hands with himself! <br />If one of the girls decides to do something, and the other follows her, I can seldom win! No fair, like you say! They are fun at the moment though!<br /><br />Thank you Onix! <br /><br />Thanks Thirza...Nicole at Dots'n'Stripes is great to deal with, and I am never disappointed with her fabrics. <br />I would say that the pattern is a winner...your little man get something for him, but I would say your girls would be asking for one too. I don't ever remember Maeve being so keen for me to make anything for her...she has fabrics chosen already.<br /><br />Thanks very much Amanda...all the children chose their own fabrics from my stash...the girls were so decisive!Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345822230344288078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155243672133235939.post-3115938659058794372011-02-03T10:06:59.520+00:002011-02-03T10:06:59.520+00:00Wow, what beautifully sewn jackets (and boy top)! ...Wow, what beautifully sewn jackets (and boy top)!
