What a change for me this week over at Project Run and Play! Creating something for a boy! I had to put my thinking cap on. Since I have no boys and really don’t think about their fashion much, I decided to be inspired by my husband who is a pilot in training for the Coast Guard.
I wanted to make a comfy outfit with “pilot” details. I started with the jacket. It’s made out of fleece so it is really soft and warm to wear. I added gold notions on it.
Then I added an applique onto a shirt I bought. It’s an outline of a vintage airplane with words to a poem called “High Flight”, one of my hubbies favorites.
My hubby let us borrow some of his flight gear for the pics. How sweet of him 🙂
The pants were a simple wide leg with pockets on the front and back.
My little model loved them. He didn’t even want to take them off in the 90+ Florida heat.
Thank you so much to his mommy and daddy for letting me borrow him for this week’s competition!!!!

Boys’ mums like me would LOVE it 🙂 And I am sure the little ones too 🙂
Thanks for your wonderful blog 🙂

How you are finding the time to be mommy and get everthing done for PR&P is beyond me. You are a dynamo!
Hugs, S xo

September 17, 2011 at 12:18 pmThose are great! The jacket is my favorite for sure. My husband got his private pilot’s license a few years ago. My boy is equally obsessed although he prefers helicopters. This outfit is perfect for those equally obsessed. 🙂

September 19, 2011 at 12:15 pmThanks everyone 🙂 It was fun to make something for a boy! Unfortunately, I gave this one to the little one, but I do plan on a tutorial. I just adjusted the pattern I made for my daughter’s jacket in week 1 for this. And since it’s fleece, it’s rather simple to do 🙂
