I always make the boys something for the holidays! So with the 4th of July coming, I started planning early what I might sew! I planned these shirts from the second I saw the fabric for the first time! 😁 They turned out just like I planned!

When Peek-a-boo ran a sale back for Memorial Day, I purchased a few of their fabrics for the boys. I LOVED this one. I'm loving shopping there for them right now, because it can be hard to find cute printed fabrics, and even harder finding prints that my boys like. My 4 year old is super picky, but he has loved everything in her shop! It's hard to limit ourselves to just a few! 😉
When I saw this fabric, I immediately thought I might do something color blocked. I like color-blocking with prints for a few reasons. It is a different style than just a basic tee, and you can also save money... your higher-priced printed fabric can go a little further when you blend in the solids.
I was recently gifted a pattern by a sweet sewing friend (thank you so much Lakeisha 😘), and really enjoyed using it for these shirts! 💓
Y'all go check out Lakeisha's instagram here! She's the cutest and makes some beautiful things!
The Fabric:
As I mentioned, I used fabric I found on the Peek-a-boo Fabric Shop site! It is a custom printed cotton lycra. It's a lightweight fabric, but the perfect weight for the Louisiana heat! It is really cute too!
I also bought the solid red and solid blue from her shop! I pre-washed and dried everything to avoid having their shirts shrink!
The Patterns:
I sewed the Ellie and Mac Discoverer Tee for the boys! This was my first time using this pattern, and I enjoyed sewing it. The pattern goes together surprisingly quickly, and the color blocking sets it apart from other basic tee patterns available!
Aren't they cute?!?!
Right after I finished cutting, I realized that my scrap piece was actually big enough to make one more thing (for a tiny someone), so I immediately remembered my sweet friend Julie, and her sweet little baby. So he got a little onesie. I used the Peek-a-boo Pattern Shop Bodysuit for him! I highly recommend this pattern! It went together so easily, and had great instructions. There are also quite a few options for making this pattern, including a super cute skirted option for girls!
So there we have it... the boys are all dressed up for the 4th!
