Wear to Where Blog Tour

Hey, everybody! Thanks for stopping by for the Wear to Where Blog Tour. If you are new to my blog, hello! I'm Kelly and you will typically find me sewing up kids clothes. Mostly for my 5 year old son, hence the name, Handmade Boy. However, occasionally, I will sew something for myself and this was a great excuse to do so! For my theme, I chose tailgating. I really needed some new clothes for fall and this theme fits right into my everyday style.

I knew I wanted, NEEDED a vest. I have been searching for one in stores forever and have not been able to find what I wanted.

Gracious Threads New Look Blog Tour and SALE

I am so excited to show you my take on the New Look theme for Gracious Threads Blog Tour! I started with some adult clothes I found on sale/clearance racks that needed a New Look.

Swoodson Says Tour

Hey guys! I hope your autumn is off to a great start! I know ours is and it's been loaded with hikes exploring nature and collecting rocks and leaves. Swoodson Say's Little Collector Backpack is the perfect take along for our adventures!

This bag is a great size for a younger child. Thomas is five and 48" tall and it fit him perfectly.

Pattern Smashing Time

Today, I'm over on Peek-a-Boo Pages sharing how I smashed three PAB Patterns to create the two shirts above. Hop on over and find out how you can make your own Henley Raglan!

Time for School Wardrobe Capsule Tour

 I am bursting at the seams to share what I have been working on since July! It's been a HUGE project but it is so rewarding to have it done. Well, almost, I have a few more pieces I want to add, but I ran out of time. Life, what can you do but roll with it, right? 

When I was invited on the Time for School Wardrobe Capsule Tour, I jumped on it! What a cool concept! And it's really perfect for independent kids who like to pick their own clothes but have a dad who kinda cares that they match, just a little bit. And while Thomas homeschools, he still needs clothes that look nice for his weekly cello lessons and trips to the library. And simply because we live in a civilized society.

 I don't do a lot of formal planning when I sew. It just kinda happens. No sketches, no real set goal, no picking a color pallet, or even choosing fabrics ahead of time. I just sew with a general idea in mind.
