My Thoughtful Thoughts on Boy Sewing

Morning! Just popping in again to let you know that I have a guest post on the Project Run & Play site today that's all about the whys and hows of sewing for boys. It's something I love a lot, and I truly want every sewing mama of boys to feel the same way. You can read my rant right here.  (Rant with inspiring pictures, of course!)

    I think you summed it up pretty well why most people sew for girls and not boys. It IS hard to come up with unique details. I love what you've sewn for your little man and hope that you continue sewing for him as he grows older.:)

    i found your blog yesterday thanks to all the kcwc madness going on around pinterest! and man you are so inspiring! i have two boys, ages 2 and almost 4 months, and am trying to pick up sewing. sometimes it feels so daunting trying to make stuff for boys b/c it seems like it usually costs so much more than something at target or old navy, but the result isn't even as good. i love what you wrote in this guest post for project run & play—Such great advice! also, i just love that you're from cinci! my husband grew up in colerain and i grew up in wilmington, so not a far jaunt from cincinnati. our families still live there, so it holds a special place in our heart. so stop being so brilliant b/c i want to track you down and intern with you or something!! : ) keep up the great work!

    I just bought a sewing machine but I have not got it out of the box yet!
    Hopefully I can make some stuff as nice as yours!
