My husband sewed a shirt!
I really wish I had taken a video of him showing this to our 2 year old son. He was in utter disbelief that Daddy had sewed something for him! He was also really happy too….what little boy wouldn’t love a ninja tee? Modeled pictures coming soon 🙂
This was his first time doing any sewing project and he did it all himself. I am bursting with pride 🙂
I did have to try hard to restrain my laughter as he tried to get the cotton lycra to lay flat while he cut out the neck binding but he got it sorted out and did a much better job than I do of actually cutting a straight piece.
And then he got to learn about cutting on the fold 🙂 
Next onto the serger! I have a really bad early history with sergers (we’re talking holes in projects!) but maybe his experience with power tools came in handy because he did great 
He did get in a little fight with the neck binding but he prevailed in the end 🙂 And good news…a video tutorial for neck bindings is coming later this week!
Triumph!
Want to sew one too?
Grab a copy of the Grand Slam Pattern from the shop and then make sure you check out our month long Sew Off!

he did such a good job!!!
What a cool hubby!
And the fabric – OMG!!! Neeeeed! Where is that from? Don’t tell me it was a custom print somewhere … My son would LOVE a shirt from this! 😀
It’s a Riley Blake print!
Way to go! I am so impressed!
I love this! Next you’ll be getting him to help you grow your fabric stash. Hmmm. That’s a good idea. Maybe I should get my husband into sewing too!
I had Scott cut and sew a crib sheet a few weeks ago to see if he could carry on the shop through maternity leave… let’s just say I’ll be closing the shop 🙂 The easiest part for him was actually the serging, who’d have thought!?!
We can dream right? Jeremy did enjoy this but I’m not sure he’ll be back for more 🙂
Amy, this is the sweetest thing (Love the pics)! Sewing is not easy, so jumping in and doing such a great job on a t-shirt is amazing. Congratulations!
