Where does one start when they
decide to start a blog? It seems too formal to introduce myself. I
would assume that anybody reading this first lonely post would already
know who I am. So we can skip the intro right? I'm Kelly. That's enough
to start with. You'll figure out who I am as we go along, right?
Starting
a blog seems soooo trendy. It's what all the cool kids do. And there
are so many blogs! And so many great ones! I'm not starting this blog to be
one of the great bloggers of today, or to be one of the cool kids. I'm
starting a blog for a few different reasons.
First,
it's kinda neat to be able to look back at all the stuff I have done.
My inner organizational freak loves the thought of having all my
projects all lined up and neat and orderly. So I guess the main reason
for this is pretty selfish. I want to keep my stuff in order.
Second,
so many times I hear things like "What good boy sewing patterns are
there?" Or "Where can I find good boy stuff?" It would be so nice to
just say "Here! I have a list of so many cool boy things! Come see!"
Yes,
I have girls too that I do sew and create for, but they are older and
more picky about what they will wear that is made by their mom. The
little boy though, he doesn't care! He loves his mommy made clothes! And
I love to make them! And, I love a challenge! It's so easy to find
pages upon pages of ruffles and dresses and a million and one different
types of skirts and shirts for a little girl. But for boys, you have to
dig a little, and think a little more. There is a challenge to sewing
for a boy. And not just sewing for a boy, but sewing for a boy with
style, with modern flare. Sewing for a boy and getting the "you MADE
that!?" response. Because sewing for little boys can go way beyond
sewing pajama pants.

So
that is where we are going to go, beyond the pajama pants. Sure, I'll
have some girl stuff from time to time. But I want to focus on the
little guy, because sewing for boys rocks! Stick around, hang out with
us. I promise it will be fun! I'm mean come on, how can it not be?
