Sewing for Boys

If you have sons and you sew, you understand my frustration. I've found that very few moms sew anything for their sons after babyhood beyond the odd pair of shorts and pyjamas. I am one of those moms. Sewing for my daughters is simple - little dresses and skirts, frilly, lacy, embroidered... I have done some of that for the boys when they were wee babes. As they got older, I just got stuck.

I gave it some thought and realized that I'm intimidated by the tailoring involved in button down shirts and zip fly pants. Pull on pants and T-shirts aren't a problem, but let's face it - they can't wear them everywhere. The conclusion I've come to is that I need to study up and learn some new tricks. I want my boys to have clothing they'll treasure just like my girls do.
