Boy's button-up shirt - v2

It's hard to make the kids sit still for the photo session. Haha! Thanks to Brittany, so far I've managed to make 3 button-up shirt for my son and nephews. :)

I love the rainbow fabric. It suits well with my nephew Haziq and I love the dark blue burberry fabric on Amir. :) Since I didn't get the chance to measure them myself, it's all based on a hunch.. lol! The pants and sleeves are shorter for Amir and for Haziq, it fitted just nice which means, he can only wear it for a couple of weeks. Haha! :)

As for the felt design, I was looking for how to stitch a blanket stitch and I found a great webby - Crafty Daisies on the how-to.

Boy's button-up shirt ;)

As you may all know that I just took up sewing but I have this insane urges to make garments for children. Actually my sis-in-law requested me to make her a kimono for her children but her hubby was suggesting a button shirt instead. So I've tried my hands on boys shirt and here's the "test" result. I'm going to make another 1 for my 5 year old nephew. :)

I love the fabric and color. I'm not fully satisfied with the execution and I do hate the collar stand. I just traced the pattern from Zhafran's old shirt. I should have bought a pattern book instead for more accuracy. Oh well.. maybe next time. :)

A big thanks to Brittany from Crafty Phesine for her wonderful tutorial on Boy's Button-up Shirt Collar. I'm so thankful for the tut as I couldn't figure out the easiest way to make a collar shirt. It sure broaden up my knowledge in sewing department. :)
