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.

The second pattern I have in this issue of @onethi The second pattern I have in this issue of @onethimble is for a pair of athletic leggings!  We love the snug fit and the comfortable waistband. This style goes perfectly with the Diamondback Cami & Crop 💕

Here’s the fun back detail of the Diamondback Ca Here’s the fun back detail of the Diamondback Cami and Crop. 😍😍 
The name comes from the back overlap detail where if you use a stretch mesh you can see a diamond shape stand out through the layers. ♦️ 
It’s just as unique sewn up in a solid jersey, but I love seeing the fold over elastic outline through the mesh. 💕 
Preorders of @onethimble issue 28 are released on the 11th and can be purchased now in their shop!  Remember the prices are in Australian dollars, so the value is even better than you may think 😉

This traditional camisole shape has a shelf lining (perfect for swim!) and a fun twist on the reverse side.  Fold-over elastic for the edges and straps makes this a quick sew with clean finishes and has sizes newborn through 16years. 😘

It was so fun pulling things from my scrap bin ear It was so fun pulling things from my scrap bin earlier this week for the #fabriceggstravaganza hosted by @postalthreads. Lots of memories and fun textures like @shannonfabrics Cuddle© minky and Embrace double gauze. 
I love how fun the fabric eggs were to plan and how quickly they sew together. Now I can’t wait for @yarn_n_paint to get her box of eggs so I can share how they turned out. 
Also I’m already planning more to make cause let’s face it, when I said that I pulled from “my scrap bin,” we all know there’s way more than one scrap bin 😆😆

I've always loved making. At an early age I started cross stitching and sewing and I taught myself to knit and crochet during college. When our seven year old daughter Bean was born I was filled with all sorts of inspiration, so now I find ways to manage my crafty time and treasure those moments. Though sewing is what I'm most passionate about these days, there's something about the portability of yarn crafts and embroidery that keeps drawing me back in.
