Boys Can Wear Pink Tour – A Little Something For My Husband

I’m thrilled to be a part of Handmade Boy‘s Boys Can Wear Pink Tour this year and even better it gave me the gentle nudge I’ve needed to make a little something for my husband!

My husband likes to think he’s a tough guy, but when it comes to our daughter he’s a total softy.  They have a Daddy/Daughter dance coming up later this month and I thought it’d be the perfect time to sew something for him to go along with Bean’s dress.  The theme for the Daddy/Daughter dance is Glow in the Dark which is why I used all the neon and white fabrics.  They are going to shine, shine, shine under those blacklights haha!

My original thought for the photoshoot was to have them together to get some great pics of the tie AND the dress, but my after-church plans died out when Bean came home with a fever.  So this pic from last week of the back of her dress will have to do for now, but you can see the fabrics match the tie.  The good news is that the Raglan Party Dress – originaly designed for One Thimble – is available now in the Designs by Call Ajaire shop and will be discounted 20% this week (no coupon needed)!  This pic is also a sneak peek of the article I wrote for One Thimble Issue 14 which is releasing later this week.

The tie pattern can be found FREE on Craftsy (affiliate link) and I was super impressed with how easy it was to make.  Mine came out shorter and slightly more narrow since I was trying to use up the rest of the pennant fabric which meant I had to alter the pattern to fit it on the bias.  But if you used the fabric requirements in the pattern you’d be totally fine.

This pic might be my favorite of the bunch.  This was his “are you done taking pics yet?  You do realize it’s 20 degrees out right?” face, hehe.  But really, he is such a good sport.  You don’t see his face around here very often, but this guy’s the main reason all of this is possible.  A big thank you to him and also to Kelly for having us on the tour!  Enter the rafflecopter for a chance to win some fantastic prizes, and don’t forget to check out the rest of the tour!

    I absolutely love that you included your hubby in this tour! Bennett isn’t opposed to pink on other people…he’s just such an earth tone that I hardly ever see him out of navy/forest green/buffalo plaids, haha. I’m loud and he’s not. It works.

    The tie is so fun. And I love that he’s matching your little for a Daddy/Daughter dance! SO sweet!

      Well I don’t have any other boys so…. haha. But seriously he gets so neglected in the me-made dept so I was thrilled to find something to make for him! My goal is to make more for him this year and this super simple tie pattern was the perfect intro.

I'm really excited about this one! The Verdant Wi I'm really excited about this one!  The Verdant Windbreaker is ready for testing!  This 90's-esque 1/4 zip windbreaker has options for a fully lined or basic unlined pullover.  Views A and B have three zippered pockets, including the center pocket which can work as a stuff sack for the windbreaker like all the cool kids had back in the 1900s 😆  Views C and D are more of a pullover sweatshirt/fleece style without the extra bells and whistles, but all of the vibes.
My outerwear is sized 12m to 16 years and the size chart is in the form below. 
Testing will begin on Monday, the 11th of September and will end on Saturday, the 23rd of September, with a fit test (muslin or just the lining) due by Saturday, the 16th of September.

She asked for plain black this year, so we compromised with some of the black and white crosshatch I used for the lining sprinkled around the outside. 😍😍

The black is Cuddle C3 minky from Shannon Fabrics and it’s so soft. I used sf101 interfacing to keep the pieces from stretching out too much with wear. There’s some Decovil light on the main panels for structure too. 

The crosshatch is sailcloth canvas that I had in my stash from Little Cocalico and it’s such a great fabric for bag linings. 

Pattern is the Little Lizard Kind Vada backpack, which is what I used last year and she specifically requested it for this year too.
