Blessing Day Outfit

This little boy's blessing was held on Sunday, our first anniversary April 14, 2013. I knew I was going to make his outfit, and was planning on a dress shirt onesie, vest, tie, pants, and shoes. As it turned out, I loved his shirt too much to cover it up. I also love his chubby baby legs and since he's so little, we got away with no pants! Parker got another pair of shoes, and we went with a store-bought bow tie to make his eyes pop.

 

I drafted the pattern for his shirt and kept as many dress shirt details as I could like a back yoke, collar, and collar stand. The buttons are completely functional to help get it on and off even though it is made of a stretch cotton. There are three snaps at the bottom for the closure.

I tweaked the pattern found here for his shoes. When making these, I sew a snap into the flap so they stay on better.

This little man is so dapper and is growing up way too fast!
