Thanks bunches Dayenu! You may stop now. LOL!
That ought to keep me busy searching for projects for awhile. I was totally stumped or maybe was having a brain freeze. I will never know.

I only sew my boys pajama pants out of flannel. They love them and wear them all the time. There are some really easy patterns and I never have to buy PJ anymore because they love to wear there dad's old t-shirts to bed with the pants.

I raised 3 boys who are now all in their 40's,so now i sew for their little boys.I make them shorts,shirts,pj's,quilts,and anything else they think their nana can make.Never had a problem sewing for them.

I just finished making my "baby" boy (turning 33) a shirt out of a Star Wars print--black with green Yoda all over it, so don't forget the theme prints when sewing for boys. I am laughing because mine still loves the shirts I make. I usually make his baby (3) a matching shirt. The last time I made them ones out of Peanuts fabric, I had plenty of people asking them where they bought their shirts.

Boys love costumes also, and the PJ bottoms make great Luke Skywalker pants, just do a top to go with it, and make a sash.

LIttle boxer shorts are super easy to make, and pull on easily for all ages of little boys.

Great ideas for the little un's, but what about a bigger boy? I am thinking about making a birthday present for a 24 year old. I can't make a shirt - not enough time.

I have some nice music manuscript print craft cotton, but what object would be suitable?

He's a Physics student, just moving into his first flat and loves music (classical).

Ideas?

Dee OK - have you started yet?? ;-) Dayenu had some fab ideas!

AJ

A padded computer sleeve?

a zippered CD holder?

napkins so he doesn't have to use paper?

cover a lamp shade?

a lap pillow for reading in bed or for using a laptop computer?

pillow cases?
this is fun ..lol think up ideas and not have to actually MAKE them. phew lol

Great ideas all! I now have to make up my mind & start sewing SOMETHING! LOL!

Will make my bi-monthly trip to Wal-Mart this weekend & am gonna look at patterns. I "think" I can buy 1 or 2 patterns & then adjust for different sizes. Will start with PJ's & shorts. Oh! I will have to buy a few more yards of boy themed fabric too. You know how it is.....any excuse to buy more fabric. :-)

Hmm

Some great ideas there, certainly the laptop stuff would apply, just not sure I'm capable - not much for quiltiing.

But the pillow cases, that's quite an idea, as I said he's just moving into his first flat with a friend and I'm sure 2 guys could do with some coordinated linens ;-)

Most of the fabric I see is definitely girly, apart from camouflage print and various shades of stripes. Or tartan! There we go, tartan pillow cases.

;-)

Dayenu - you ought to be working for one of the magazines - you have fab ideas!

Cheers,
AJ
