As the proud mom of a boy I'm always on the lookout for books that celebrate boys--so today I'm thrilled to announce our latest craft book, Sewing for Boys. In this first-ever "boys-only" sewing book, you'll find 24 projects—ranging from sporty to dapper—to create an entire handmade wardrobe little boys will love. The projects/ patterns span all seasons and also include specialty items for playtime, art, and "on the go" accessories. The clothing (ranging from baby to age 7) is comfortable, durable, and completely unique. From a retro button-down shirt and suspender shorts to a just-like-dad robe, these 24 sewing projects will keep the boys in your life dressed with style year-round. My favorites are the fisherman hat (shown on the cover) and the treasure-pocket pants that feature the biggest pockets ever for boys to fill!
Debut authors Shelly Figueroa and Karen LePage of Patterns by Figgy’s are also mamas of boys (and our editor at Wiley just welcomed a baby boy this summer!) --- so we're all celebrating boys with Sewing for Boys! To learn more about the book, meet the authors at book events in Portland and Michigan or follow them on their blog tour. ---Stefanie
September 16th, from 6-9pm, Shelly Figueroa will be speaking and signing books at Modern Domestic in Portland, Oregon (1408 NE Alberta St.).
September 16th, 17th, and 18th, meet Karen LePage, get your book signed, and even sample goods for sale at her booth, #17, at the DIY Street Fair in Ferndale, Michigan.
