At 12, he often gets left out of the Mama-sewn creations.
Honestly, both my sons do. There is little out there.
But one of my favourite designers of pdf patterns has a perfect top out that is just a little different than the stuff you can buy off-the-rack at the common big-box stores.
Love Notions has a pattern she calls the MotoMax set, that goes up to size 14.
I purchased this - and her Samson hoodie too - and prepared to sew for boys !
But Alas, it was not meant to be, and BigBoy needs to wait another day or few.
Or at least until Mama gets more ink for her printer that is !
I couldn't just NOT sew though.
So I opened up a pattern I already had printed out and ready to go - another from Love Notions, called the Willow Wrap top.
And cleared off the kitchen table to lay out the pieces. Because I am a big girl, the pieces are quite large, and I can't lay them out on my tiny sewing table.
A few hours later, and I'm wearing my new top.
I thank my dear little girl for taking my photos - as much as I hate to be in front of the camera, I have to to show effectively how gorgeous this top turns out !
