| Boy Bimaa: Sewing for boys |
I was browsing my blog feed the other morning and came across yet more of the amazing
Bimaas popping up all over blogland and realized I'd never posted about my own BOY version of the Bimaa. Whaaaaat??
I even had the photos taken and everything. I'll chalk it up to the holiday madness...

For my boy version I decided to do the shawl collar version. The fabrics I used are from 2 thrifted tees from Goodwill. Normally the Bimaa is a fast sew, but upcycle and use the existing hem & cuffs, you're looking at lighting speed. I'm pretty sure this is the fastest garment I've ever sewn. And because of the awesome pattern, also one of the most professional looking ones! I might be just a little proud of this one ;)

I went up a size from what the size chart suggested since I was making it for my boy and wanted the fit to be a little more loose. It was perfect. It has become his most worn mama-made top to date. I couldn't be more happy about that.

It felt so good to sew something for the boy again. I think I may have started something...

And just to brag on my new machine a bit... Look! It has an overlock stitch! This stitch is AMAZING for knits.
