boys clothes tutorials and inspiration
April 28th, 2010
It’s true there aren’t as many tutorials out there for boys, but don’t let it get you down. Just because boys don’t wear dresses doesn’t mean they can’t be stylish. My son picked out this outfit to go to school tomorrow: a neon green striped shirt, a blue plaid button down, gingham board shorts and wellies. Blazzam!

A couple of children’s clothes designers I love are jacksprat and Martha from uniform natural (though I don’t think she does kid’s clothes any more). They both stick to a muted palate which really lets the details of the clothes stand out. That’s not to say your boys should only wear gray, by all means let them wear pink!
Oh boy! Thanks and well spotted,gathered and shared!! Love those buttoned trousers in the top collage !!
That monkey t-shirt is the best!
the slim slacks are ingenious! thanks for sharing all your finds :)
Thank you, Thank you, thank you…..I am always looking for boy tutorials. There is more to style for boys than soccer balls and trucks.
Your son sounds super stylin.
These tutorials are great. I recently bought a couple of Japanese sewing books with amazing boys clothes. Easy to follow instructions and easy to make too even for a self-taught sewer like me.
There was a great series over on MADE, for an entire month they did Celebrate the Boy, rounding up fantastic boy themed tutorials for sewing and crafting.

Wow, loads of fab ideas. Can’t wait to get my supplies together and get started. It’s soooo hard to find nice boy’s clothes, so thanks for the links!
Oh, the little boy cuteness. Swoon.
Fantastic. This is great inspiration. I have two boys and secretly long for girls whenever I’m at the sewing machine.
All are such good ideas! I want to make my sons clothes just so I can make them tiny boxer briefs! :) Your posts have me inspired to get sewing some pijama pants for this summer..
Lovely! Thank you for sharing such wonderful finds! Maybe now I can move on from sewing endless pairs of pants for my little sprout! I will be brave and try one of those amazing shirts! Cheers!

Thanks for linking to my tutorials! And what a fantastic idea–a week of sewing for the kids. Hoping I finish up enough of my other responsibilities this weekend so I can join along! Need this kind of motivation to get going.
