Well, Alaska weather is definitely different from Texas', so I bought a ton of warm clothes for him in February on clearance. I was able to get over 20 items from The Children's Place and Target for about $100! What a steal, huh? A few of the pants didn't have matching shirts, so that is what I've been doing...making shirts to match them.
Take a look at these cutie, plaid pants. I loved them because they were summery looking (most winter gear is well, wintery...dark colors and heavy).

I went to Babies R Us and found a pack of long sleeve onesies and decided to jazz them up to match the pants. I used the little dinosaur patch as inspiration, so I cut up some old, khaki pants, found an image online, used a freezer paper stencil to paint the dinosaur (I used the tutorial from Holy Craft HERE), and then hand sewed the patch onto the onesie! Too cute!
Here is another one I made to match a pair of camo cargos. My little guy is going to be stylin' in his one of a kind onesies...made by mom! :)
Wishing you a happy week! :)

You did a great job matching up! That camo airplane is fantastic. You might have to give us a camo painting tutorial!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I love matching outfits. I have a nine month old boy too. Good luck taking him. I'm sure he'll be fine. They seem to go with the flow at this age! And they love to see new things! ~Monica
ReplyDeleteI just love shopping at the Children's Place Outlet...most everything my son wears came from that store...
ReplyDeleteLittle Man is going to look even more adorable than he already is!! Your a crafting wiz :)
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job. I miss the days of being able to do that kind of stuff ( although I was not nearly as creative as you have been!) I'm lucky when my 17 year old is willing to be seen in the same mall, far less the same store with me lol. Actually, he's pretty good since I'm paying.
ReplyDeleteHe is going to be stylin!! I am J that you are going to Alaska and leaving the Texas heat.
ReplyDeleteHe will definitley be "stylin" in Alaska! Thanks for sharing the fun on Modern Craftswoman Monday! Rory
