Underwear! Under where? Under there!

One if the easiest and most fun things to sew are little kid undies. I have made tons of them! You don't NEED a serger but having one sure makes the task easier. These are full of quick satisfaction folks. You can make a pair in less than an hour and you can make them with scrap fabrics. I just love that! 

Here are a few example's of some I have made:


These are from That*Darn*Kat and they are uber easy. They are a little more full coverage but I love that. You can find her pattern for sale on Etsy. It comes with both the boy and girl versions. If you have a girl you will be done in less than 30 minutes, I swear. They are so quick. 



These are from Fishsticks Designs. Please go look at all of Bonnie's patterns. I have a slew of them and they are fantastic. These will take you a little longer but you will love the results. They come out beautiful! My son is almost four and runs around the house half naked most if the time so these tend. To be a bit more fun to run around in. 



Last but not least are these really cute undies from Elysium. She also has an Etsy shop. These are unisex as well so they a bit more low cut in the boy version. They are still quick to sew up and come out extremely adorable. 

I hope you love all of these and give some of them a try. Underwear for the little ones are very fun and satisfying to make and make it so easy to feel as if you accomplished something.

Giving this blogging thing a try

I love sewing and I love writing so why not put the two things together. Now all I need is a little bit of discipline and I will be all set.

I have a plan. I don't know if my blog will be on par with some of the great crafty blogs around the web but I just hope to share what I know and do. It will take some planning I am sure.

I have a 13 year old daughter who I don't do much sewing for but I also have a 3 year old little boy who I love sewing for. If there is a lack for anything in the sewing world it is sewing for little boys. I hope to show you that here.

That's it for my very first post. I hope to be back on Monday to do some tweaking and post some pictures. Until then...
