Americana Shirts

I finished working on my 4-year old's shirts the other week. We had lots of fun picking out fabrics and working up things for the summer. The best part of these shirts though is that they can be used year round with a shirt underneath because they're made with a loose fit. :)

For these last 2 shirts I used the left over fabric that I used on his quilt. (Which I just realized that I haven't shared yet!! I thought I had! Tomorrow....) Until then, I'll just show off these new shirts! :)

Gecko Shirt

I had originally made it for my 4 year old but in his little mind he decided he hates geckos. He gave me permission to sell it. LOL 

So it's now up for grabs on my Etsy site, HERE. It's a one of a kind and fits boys sized medium 4/5. It's made a little on the large side to be worn year-round with an undershirt in the cold months. I had fun making this and I think I need to make more! 

The classic bowler style shirt has sleeves that can be folded up or left down and has a snap front for easy on and off. The pleat in the back gives plenty of room for movement and play. 

The "Henry Shirt" pattern is from the book 'Sewing for Boys' by Shelly Figueroe and Karen LePage

Jameson's John Deere Tractor Shirt

Oh, look at this cutie! I think he's cute, but then again I'm kinda partial! :) This is my younger son, Jameson. Today he's showing off his new John Deere Tractor shirt. I took him fabric shopping with me last month and he had to pick out some of his own fabric, of course! He'd recently out-grown some shirts I made him and asked for more. I couldn't resist. ;)

The pattern I used for this is 'The Henry Shirt' from the book Sewing for Boys by Shelly Figueroa. I sewed up the size 4/5 for Jameson (who is 4 and wears 4 & 5 T). The shirt is made a little on the bigger side with a large pleat in back. This is because it's made to wear all year round with a shirt underneath for when it's colder. It's really just the perfect shirt!

If you're interested in getting a Henry Shirt just email me at h.greenhomegoods [ at ] gmail.com.  There are tons of fabric combinations to be made from this pattern. $25 per shirt and it's available in sizes Small: 2/3T, Medium: 4/5T, and Large: 6/7.

Ok, now go check out my cutie's pics down below! <3 him.
