What Shelly Figueroa and Karen LePage got so right with Sewing For Boys is the keen combination of simple but slightly rough around the edges that is so completely perfect when sewing for the young lads in your life. I think you know by now that I don't share anything here that I don't truly adore, and I get shown many, many books. I share only those that I would be purchasing myself anyway, and this one is definitely in that category. I have already set aside cut lengths of my new (soon to be released) Loulou Flannels to make the Goodnight, Sweetheart PJs, plus some bias binding for the adorable piping detail. A long way to go to put a rowdy boy to bed? Not at all. The patterns are so straight forward, doting just enough on the details that make it worth home sewing to begin with. Roman has just outgrown most of the patterns in Handmade Beginnings, so I am happy to have this sweet and inspiring resource as staples for him. Who wants a copy? You will love it, leave me a comment and I'll draw a name next week for a giveaway.....I'll even throw in the above flannels just for fun.
In other news, I was honored to be a featured FACE (a super smiley one) of Nashville on the StyleBlueprint online mag today. It is a very well curated site, and as a mere coincidence, my friend Ashley Hylbert was hired for my photos. She took the first headshots I ever quivered my bottom lip through about 10 years ago. What I love about Ashley is she's talented, she's really fast, and she'll suggest something that I think is goofy, I whine, she talks me into it anyway, I do it, she looks at the photo and says things like, "No, you look stupid", or "I don't like your face in that". The world needs more honesty like hers.
What else..... OH! Those crazytown super wonderful people over at Sew4Home are giving away a serious pile of my loot! (This suddenly sounds like a local furniture store liquidation sale, but) Seriously lots and lots of stuff, so go enter for a chance to win. I don't even care if you don't want it, save it for Christmas gifts.
Think that's it.
I had Asian chicken for lunch today and it made me really thirsty. So I keep drinking. And I keep going to the bathroom, which is all the way downstairs. Its cutting into my work time.
Okay. That's really it. I couldn't guess where it would go from here anyway.
xo,Anna
Okay, that book and those flannels would be an amazing combo. Please count me in!

ReplyDeleteI need this book badly! I am having a boy in December and have found it very difficult to find patterns that aren't to girly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review on this book; I saw it on amazon the other day and was wondering about it. I know I can trust AMH! The flannels are lovely and I bet my three boys would fight over who got them for jammies....
ReplyDeleteHave a whole rash of boys in my circle of friends and am always looking for good patterns for them.... It's a challenge.

ReplyDeleteThose yummy flannels and the book! A match made in sewing heaven!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Loulouthi flannels?! AM! You are the coolest. I got my hands on your Little Folks flannels not too long ago, and all I could think was, "I can't cut into this until she comes out with more." And you did. Thank you! I love the stripey one! I'm officially thrilled. Also, I've been wanting to get my hands on this book, but I'm hesitating because I'm not sure if our next one is a boy or girl. I find out in November. :D I still want the book though. I have friends with boys. Anyway, thanks for the post! And I loved your 9/11 post. Very touching. And it brought me back to that time. I was only 11.... Have a good night!
ReplyDeletePlease count me in.
ReplyDeleteEven though my little man is big enough to now be horrified at the prospect of clothes made by Mum, I have 2 tiny nephews just waiting for some sewn up love.
Thanks for the chance.

ReplyDeleteLove, love this book! And I would love, love to get my hands on some of your flannel!!!
ReplyDeleteWould love to win this. I have two boys and am never sure what to sew for them.

ReplyDeleteAs the mom of two little boys I get so excited when I see patterns (knit, crochet or sewn) for boys! Yay for this book! I can't wait to check it out!
ReplyDeleteSo my little guy and your little guy are close in age so I know that I NEEEEEED this book. :) And to get some of your "loot" would be the cherry on top!
ReplyDeleteFinally a book for boys!! Yeehaw! And, with that yummy new flannel... just a winning combination all the way around..
ReplyDeletewe just had our third baby but our first little boy 12 days ago! when he was born and they announced it was a boy my first thought was, "what in the world am I going to sew for this kiddo?!?" i would love the chance to create his wardrobe using patterns and ideas from this book!!
ReplyDeleteThat book looks so great! I have an almost-4-year-old and I haven't been able to do nearly as much sewing for him as I would have liked. I've had such a hard time finding patterns for boys things that I like.
ReplyDeleteThe flannels are too adorable!
Yay for boy books! I have two little boys and love that fabric too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I would LOVE to have this book as my 4yo is constantly asking me to make clothes for him (despite all evidence pointing to my utter inability to sew garments)!
ReplyDeletewith a house full of girls I am always stuck for ideas for the boys in our lives. This book looks like it's full of them! I can't wait for your new fabric to be released- it looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love this book, your fabrics and Sew4Home. Thanks for letting me know about that giveaway too!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see this book; how generous of you to throw in the flannels, too! Thanks1
ReplyDeleteI not only want a copy I NEED a copy. My grandson just turned 10 months old and I have lots of boy sewing in my future. Plus my daughter is now expecting...it could be a boy too!
ReplyDeleteThis book looks wonderful, as do you flannels!
ReplyDeleteI just had my 1st boy and also my last child and I'm in need of "boyish" things to make for him!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awesome read! It can be hard to find little boy patterns that are fun and interesting. And your flannel looks super cool!
ReplyDeleteThe boys have my daughter and I outnumbered... yet there is more than plenty girl related projects going on at any given time. :)
ReplyDeleteMy little boy is almost 3 months old, and I'm discovering that there aren't a lot of patterns for boys. Count me in!
ReplyDeleteThis is just what I need - I've been wanting to make my two boys jammie pants for Christmas this year but haven't come upon a pattern yet. Fingers crossed (and thanks!)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'm more excited to win this book or get my hands on your soon-to-be released flannel! Yes please, I'd LOVE both. :)
ReplyDeleteSign me up! I love your fabrics and would love, LOVE the book. You inspired me with your beautiful fabrics I am taking my first quilting class this Friday! Ahhh...a cozy flannel quilt for fall...I love it!

ReplyDeleteI want this! My poor boy is stuck between two sisters who get most of the handmade clothes. I haven't gone far beyond pajamas for him. Thanks for telling us all about this book!
ReplyDeleteI just had my first boy and I am so excited to sew for him!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I have no boys to sew for yet, I have started a future-grandchild box. Kind of a hint to my son to propose and get the show on the road! This book and the beautiful flannels would be a welcome start on this road to grandmotherhood.
ReplyDeleteThe interview was so fun to read and I love all the pics of your sunny studio! And baby #4 and big bro #1 would appreciate me having a book of patterns just for them! ;) And where did you get that grey shirt - love it!
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous ~ the book and of course, the fabric! I would love to try my hand at sewing for boys. This would be the best start. Thank you for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI would love to get my hands on a copy of that book! Boys' clothes are just the cutest in my opinion. Also I love anything flannel, it's a weakness :)
ReplyDeleteOh I would love this book, I have a gorgeous 12 week old son and would love to make it some things, And your flannel is lovely.
ReplyDeleteJumping up and down with excitement and crossing fingers and toes for good luck! Thanks for a lovely giveaway... I would be delighted to be chosen ;)
ReplyDeleteWhoops I mean make him some things! That is why I shouldn't type while he is sitting on my knee. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see that book - and the yummy flannels!
ReplyDeleteI've been seriously wanting this book but questioning if I really need another craft book. But I found out last night some friends are having another baby and that seems reason enough to add it to the collection!
ReplyDeleteI have two boys and have not sewn nearly as much for them as for my one girl...except Halloween costumes. I am getting really good at Star Wars and so forth. :) It would be lovely to have a book of normal clothes for them-- this book is a great idea! --Anya
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have the boy stuff book! My son doesn't get nearly as many things sewn for him as his sister does- I need inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI would love a copy!
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to tell us what you were having for dinner :)
It looks like a great book and the flannel fabric is beautiful. Please count me in!
ReplyDeleteHow weird! Amazon sent me that book for a recommendation in my email today and now here you have it on your blog. Is it meant to be?? I hope so! I have a one year old boy I'd love to sew for :) Pick me! Pick me!!
ReplyDeleteExcited to hear about a sewing project for my boys that isn't a blanket! Seems like that's all I do these days. jvernam@msn.com
ReplyDeleteThat book looks just divine, each time I see it I want it more and more... I guess thats the purpose of a blog tour... well I might just have to buy it, will see if we win first though :-) mmmm asian chicken...
ReplyDeleteFabulous book! It would be perfect for my 4.5 year old boy...
ReplyDeleteOh, perfect! I have 2 boys and love to sew and find myself always telling friends that someday I'd like to have a girl so I could sew more things...I NEED some fabu boy ideas. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat interview! I really loved getting to see some more pics of your studio space.
ReplyDeleteYES to this book! I would love to have a copy!

ReplyDeleteI'd love to make some flannel PJs for my 2 year old!
ReplyDeleteI have 2 girls and a boy...guess who gets more mama-made stuff...the girls. This book looks to be perfect for starting to bridge the gap in the sewing world:) Love the flannels in the pic too.. I was just thinking about when you'd release new flannels! LOL!~Ruth (vintageruth(at)hotmail.com)
ReplyDeleteI would love to make some PJs for my son!
ReplyDeleteI'm desperate to get my hands on this book - it's so hard to get good boy patterns! Claire
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see more of this book. I actually have a little girl, but I enjoy the simpler styles! Crazy ruffles are cute sometimes, but other times it's fun to use crazy fabric with simple styles! ;)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win ;-)
ReplyDelete:O new fabric! count me in!
ReplyDeleteI have two boys, I love flannel, and I'm crossing my fingers!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is due to have a baby boy next January,how good would that book be!!! Plus we have another little man who is 2 in November.
ReplyDeleteI love to sew but I only have one grandson to sew for, and I have no idea what to sew for him. I would love this book so I could sew, to my heart's content, things I know he would wear. Thanks for the competition - I am a fan.
ReplyDeleteOh I so so want to own Sewing For Boys, and of course your gorgeous flannels!! Just thought that at least the interruptions to your work time can count as exercise, my interruptions today have involved feeding my boys - constantly - and cleaning up the honey that my youngest decided to trail through the entire house and smear on 2 beds! Not fun!!
ReplyDeleteI definitely NEED that book and the fabric would just be icing on the cake! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeletemelanie.
This book looks great, thanks for the chance
ReplyDeleteByrney3 (at) yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk
I would lvoe this for my boy!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great book. I'd love to win it!
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to win this book and the flanels, I have a boy to sew for and I'm only enthusiastic but not talented, I would need the help of this book. Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteTunde
Would love to get my hands on that book. I see homemade Christmas presents in my future!! A nice pile of fabric would go perfect with that!!!
ReplyDeleteAnne Maria, you are a very special and generous lady. Thank you for giving us all the opportunity to make special things for the boys in our lives and in flannel! Yeh for flannel!!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say that today- my lovely boyfriend just sent me on a fabric scavenger hunt with all the LouLouthi fat quarters hidden in various places all around the house- He knows how happy your fabric makes me and thought I needed some cheering up- what a keeper! Looking at all the fabrics I am so inspired and just want to thank you for being the excellent designer that you are- which makes me the inspired sewer that I am- 3 cheers for boyfriends with great taste and 4 cheers for you Anna Maria, the designer that makes me dream and smile.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, your fabrics, your enthusiasm, your big family ... and I too love sewing for boys!
