Peek A Boo Pattern Max & Matilda Shirt

Hi! I'm Larissa, owner of Ellie's Trunk. I was searching for a suit for my 1 yr old, and coming up with either cute and really expensive, or just okay and cheap. Since it was for my Brother in law's wedding, I wanted him to look handsome and adorable! Then Robin posted the review for this and I had that "A-HA!" moment! Hello! I sew! I could totally make this!
 
 


SO Handsome!


There are 2 options for the pattern, an oxford and a blouse, each with 2 sleeve lengths. There is also the option to add a pocket. I chose the long sleeve Oxford for his suit.
 
The pattern was easy to put together and cut out. There are quite a few smaller pieces for the collar stand, and the cuffs on the long sleeve option.
The pattern only mentions finishing your seams once in the sewing guidelines, which if you are a seasoned seamstress, you probably overlook, as I did, but I always finish my seams anyway.
There are plenty of detailed pictures on where to place interfacing and step by step directions. 
 

"What does the fox say?"
