Today LiEr of Ikatbag is here to share a tutorial for these cute little boy shortalls that can be embellished with piping or made without for an even simpler project! She’s also got a free pattern for you on her blog to make it even easier to put together! You may remember LiEr from last year’s amazing Fold-up Cuff Pant…

E loves pool, by which I mean billiards although he also loves pools, as in the kind with water. While he’s not big enough or coordinated enough to wield even a child-sized pool cue yet, he’s definitely the perfect size to stand on a chair next to the pool table (until very recently we just let him sit on top of the table) and roll the balls around.

Here’s Ruby to introduce herself:

I rediscovered my passion for sewing when my daughter was born and then again when I was pregnant with my son. I quickly realized that finding cute clothes for boys that fall outside of the typical blue and sports theme is tough. That challenge inspired me to start my etsy shop specializing in clothing for babies. On top

I’m so excited about today’s guest! I discovered Trula’s blog Trula Kids about a year ago and really fell in love with the bright airy photos from this Barcelona mama and the beautiful garments she makes, especially for boys. Trula is here today to share a tutorial for a button fly trouser, a detail that can make garments for boys really special. You’ll find this technique will work with most any boys pant pattern!
Here’s Trula:
