DS found last night in his drawer a pair of shorts I had made him from Mickey fabric. I made them when he was 6 months old, simple short pattern, no pockets, no drawstrings, nothing, just elastic waist! When he was little he would wear them all the time and we got so many compliments. He actually wore them last night to bed, though a bit short, but outfits can be done that way pretty simple for a boy! In fact I think I'll make him some more after seeing how excited he was! You can take a white t, cut a square of fabric and sew on shirt and looks cute.
I kept some of DS's too, couldn't bear to part with them.
When he was four, I made him a little seersucker vest and pants. It was so cute. Peach seersucker lined with white muslin, and for buttons I had these cute Beatrix Potter buttons. It was a perfect little Easter/springtime outfit.
With boys, don't be afraid to do brighter colors or seersuckers and madras. They look really cute in those colors and patterns.
