Welcome to the 'Ellie and Mac Get Ready for Spring Blog Tour' hosted by 'Seams Sew Lo.'
Spring is around the corner. Or we'd like to think so.
Here in Alberta we can expect frost as late as the May Long Weekend, so it definitely feels like Spring is still a ways a way. But, we can be hopeful for an early spring.
So we're sewing for Spring!
I chose to use the Boy's Sunday Morning Sweats and the Discoverer Tee from Ellie and Mac.

I chose to use the Boy's Sunday Morning Sweats and the Discoverer Tee from Ellie and Mac.
For the Discoverer Tee, I chose a lightweight jersey knit for the bottom portion and a slightly heavier weight cotton-lycra for the top and sleeves. The pattern comes with a long sleeve and a short sleeve option so you can make this year-round.
The Sunday Morning Sweats are basically shorts over a narrower almost legging-like pant. I only used the shorts part of the pattern for these shorts, but again they could be a good year-round pattern. They have a yoga waistband with no elastic so they're pretty comfy.
Even though we're having a snow storm today and it's -30C with windchill my son decided to keep wearing this after pictures--he loves a good pair of shorts.
Shirt fabric is from Girl Charlee (an old print) and Water Tower Textiles (solid).
The fabric for the shorts is from Zenith and Quasar (jegging).

Cute outfit! I remember seeing that Girl Charlee motorcycle fabric, and now I wish I had done! The T-shirt looks great with the black/motorcycle combo, and with the shorts it’s a great spring outfit!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric you chose for the shirt. My boys rarely wear knit shorts. But if I made them in athletic mesh they would wear them daily lol!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make something like that for my son!
