I’m so excited today to be included in the Sewing for Boys Book blog tour. If you haven’t caught wind of it until now, the owners of Patterns by Figgy’s, Shelly and Karen, co-authored a book! And I know you’ll be excited to hear that it’s all about sewing for boys (of course I’ve already picked out quite a few projects that will be fun to make for my girls, too).
They did a fantastic job of compiling an awesome collection of 24 projects geared towards sewing for boys, you know, the most neglected gender in the sewing realm. I’m so happy because it falls at no better time than my cute little nephew, Grant’s first birthday! I can’t imagine being able to resist sewing things for him. It’s fun to dig through the ‘ol fabric stash and find some goodies and think of how he might look in them, start walking in them, throw food at his parents in them, you get the picture….
So here’s my version of the Easy Linen Shirt. And guess what, it IS easy! Probably the most fun and rewarding project I’ve made in a long time. It required minimal effort and time to complete, has impeccable instructions, and is so cute!
I loved that they have all sorts of information on finishing seams, great techniques that you’ll use over and over again.
I can’t wait to sew up a couple pairs of Treasure Pocket Pants like Ashley, or maybe I’ll give myself a challenge with The Henry Shirt like Meg did. Definitely go check out the screaming deal on their book over at amazon!

I’ve been enjoying the blog tour, and I love the henry shirt, but wow, it looks complicated. One way to find out how complicated, I suppose — try it!
Thanks for the chance to win this book. You are right, the boy is often overlooked when I think of sewing. My 3 girls always get something made for them, but not that poor boy in the middle. Thanks for the reminder to make him something. This book looks like just the right answer to start sewing for my boy!! LOVE your blog and thanks for the opportunity!! Marnie
Love the shirt that you made- great fabric choice! I think my first project will be the reversible coat.
What a lovely shirt, can’t wait to make one for my own little boy! Would love to win this especially as Amazon UK say it’s not released here yet!

Love the shirt! I would love to win this book too!
hogg.diana[at]gmail[dot]com
I have 2 little boys who would love it if I sewed for them! Maybe it would stop Callum from asking for a headband or a pillowcase dress for “him” all the time–because he sees that sissy asks for it and gets it–I don’t think he knows that mommy could actually sew something boyish! haha
I am dying for this book! I have two sweet boys I love to sew for, as well as one girl. She gets a lot more of the sewing love!
Gosh I’d love to win this book! I’ve sewn lots of things for my daughter, but just can’t find the same range of patterns for my little boy. Thanks for setting this up.

Hello Anna,
I’m sewing since a few month. My mother gave me a sewing-course as a present.)
When I have time – I sew! 🙂 It makes my head feeling well and I am happy because I have a product in spite of regeneration.
On September 5th I got a nephew – Louis-Manou – he would be my next model for sewing.
So it would be fantastic, if I could sew him things out of the book! 🙂

I have often said I’d get myself in SO much trouble if I had girls (spending too much money/time sewing stuff for them). But I’d sure love to be able to make some great pieces for my boys. My oldest is turning 3 on Monday… what a fun gift (in a roundabout way) for him!

I work with so many women that have boys. This would be a great book to have for making gifts! Thanks for the giveaway!!
I wonder how is that book because I never find one book focusing in boys, I think is fantastic idea, I can not wait to see it for sure great to have it. thanks
hello there anna!
my name is mila and i am a beginner when it comes to sewing. have been always silently visiting your blog, but now i couldn’t help myself: a book with sewing projects for boys!? i think that is exactly what i need… lol
well, crossing fingers that this book comes it’s way to brazil (where i live). thanks for the chance. kiss. palmamila at ig at com at br
I think it was a great idea to make a book focusing in boys clothing , fantastic idea. love to have it to make stuff. thank you
It always seems easy to find patterns for little girl’s clothing, but I have a friend with a little boy that I never sew for because it seems impossible to find a decent clothing project for him! I’d love to win this book. 🙂 Thank you!
I have just had my third boy … I need this book!! It looks so gorgeous. Love the shirt you made. Karen
Oh, I have a little guy with his first birthday coming up so this book would be perfect for some new clothes for him. Thanks for the giveaway.

ohhhh, your projects are always awesome, and this shirt is no different! Thanks for letting us know about this great book. I’m going to put it on my Amazon wish list…unless I win it! vbg
I have oodles of boys to sew for – 14+ – and they are thrilled when they receive something made especially for them.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I’ve been saying for years someone should do something about the “HUGE” lack of fun,stylish and easy-to-make, clothes patterns for boys. My Grandson is 10 now and he still loves it when I sew for him. Thanks, cyndylouquilts{at}yahoo{dot}com
I really love that shirt! That and the coat and the pyjamas are what I REALLY want to make! I’m so excited at the wide range of sizes in this book!
I’d love to win a copy of this book. Whilst I sew all the time for my 2 girls, I would love sew a few more items for my son.
Pick me! I have 3 boys!
knspears (at) gmail (dot) com
You did a wonderful job with the shirt! I love it!
And sometimes I find it more fun to sew stuff for other people besides our family members.. kind of gives you a proud moment when you see them using the gift you created for them.
I love all the projects I’ve seen made with this book, and love the idea of a pattern book for boys. Finally! I’d love to win for sure!
Ah buttonless boy shirts. Perfect for the active 4 yr old bush boy who needs a change of shirt before he can leave home just about every time! The treasure pants sound like another ‘need’ for this boy too. I’d really love to win this book and thanks for the opportunity to do so :D.
Cheers,
Robyn
From what I’ve seen this book is fantastic! Maybe it’ll get me into boy sewing mode finally (feeling a bit bad that I rarely make them anything)!
I would love to win this book- my little boy needs some cute Momma made things 🙂
Super snazzy shirt! And you’re so right about boys being sadly neglected in the sewing world. This book looks fab!
Yes please! This book looks amazing!

I’m not brilliant at sewing clothes, so this would be great for me – I could make something for my friends little boy.
since I sew mostly for my girl, it’s time to make me sew something for my little boy! mamasaartje [at] hotmail dot com
I would love to win this book as I have a very active three-year-old who loves me to make him clothes (he has asked me to knit another green cardie for him already!). It’s also quite difficult to get sewing books dedicated purely to making boys clothes. Plus I’d like to have a go at the shirt which looks great by the way!

I really enjoy your blog, and have followed a couple of your incredibly clear tutorials (the nursery teachers at my son’s school got the ruffled purse, the other year:). I have started sewing for myself and would love to find some clear patterns for boys (I only have my Mother-in-Law’s vintage patterns at the moment). Thanks for the chance:)

Have yet to actually sew clothes for the little man. What a great start.
wildrosemom2000[at]yahoo.com
Comment! This pattern is great! I would love to try it with a ribbon at the very top in front to tie it up. I think it would be charming just to have the ribbon dangling there.

Oh, how I would love to win a copy of this book! I have five boys, and it would be such fun to sew cute clothes for them — This book looks like it has adorable clothing. . . 🙂
I don’t have any boys myself (yet :), but I do have a nephew who does not wear dresses. I think he needs a few things instead of just his sister.
Your shirt is wonderful — wish I could wear it! Thank you for the giveaway chance.
what fun!
my sister-in-law is expecting a boy and this would be perfect for her!
Lovely book, Anna! Yes, boys need to be spoiled with handmade clothing, too!:)
