I bought some wild plaid fabric at Hobby Lobby a month ago and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I purchased it to make Baden some pants. The kid looks like a garden gnome and I can't help but have a little fun when dressing him. Let's just say I couldn't help myself.
I used Dana's pants tutorial again, but I tried the flat front version this time. That way we can tuck in his shirt and not have it look weird.
I used my Retro Pointed Bow Tie pattern to make a matching bow tie.
And? I just can't get enough. I realize it's a bold look and may not be for everyone, but I just love it. Who said dressing boys isn't as fun?
I can't wait for him to sport this look on Sunday at church.
Thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteawww that is so cute!
ReplyDeleteToo fun. Quite a cutie you got there. :)
ReplyDeleteabsolutely precious! He is such a cutie~ I so love your bow ties!
ReplyDeleteOh wow he looks adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it!!! He is SO CUTE!! I have 4 boys..soon be 12,8,5 yrs twins..made me miss my at that age...I know you are enjoing them every min, like I am with my...
ReplyDeleteBTW...I will never thought to use that color but it look GREAT!!! He looks adorable..Thanks for sharing! made my morning here just to see him sporting it:)
cutest. thing. EVER! (and I have two kiddos of my own- i'm such a bad mommy! lol!)
ReplyDeleteSeth's Awesome Adventure plaid. I have the coordinating paisley print and had kind of the same vision for pants and bow tie, probably because I visit your blog every day and have seen the darling bow ties. I LOVE the plaid pants!
ReplyDeleteYou are killing me with cuteness! Baden is so stinking adorable in those pants. He looks like he belongs on a golf course. :)
ReplyDeleteHe may just be the cutest kid ever! I love the outfit!
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh he is so adorable! I just want to put him in my pocket and save him for a rainy day! I love it. If I had boys they would constantly be dressed like they were about to go riding in the english countryside. Except if I had girls they would be dressed like they're ready for a tea party and yet Nicole manages to wander around in leggings with a tshirt, hair in pigtail braids that were falling out yesterday, looking for all the world like a hobo child but happy as all get out. sigh. That said, she does dress like she is ready for a tea party SOME of the time, and she likes it when she does!
ReplyDeleteAh! I LOVE it! Dressing boys is SO much fun once you get over thinking they need to dress like your average adult dude. The pants + bow tie is so fantastic. It's also hilarious that you said Baden kind of looks like a garden gnome! I've been trying to sew some different clothes for my son lately. It's so much more fun since I stopped thinking the clothes I make should look like what I would find in the stores. And I just used Dana's flat front pant tutorial for the first time yesterday too. Love it!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! I love making things for my son in crazy prints. I made some batik shorts for him last year and had lots of fun with it.

So adorable! Your boys are both just too cute. I've been loving that plaid ever since it came in!
ReplyDeletethis is just so precious
ReplyDeleteholy bananas! he is so awesomely cute in that outfit! how wonderful are those pants and the bowtie?!?!
ReplyDeleteI love it! That is just an uber adorable outfit and the little man is sportin it! So Stinkin' Cute!
ReplyDeleteSOOO agreeing with all the other posters....that kid is so flippin' adorable I just want to squish his little cheeks! (and I very seldom have that reaction to kids that are not my own) That is a cutie you've got there! =)
ReplyDeletehe will be the talk of the ward!
ReplyDeleteLooks like he belongs on the golf course! What a little stud. :)
ReplyDeleteBaden smiling says it all! He loves them!
ReplyDeleteI love it too!!! It's perfect! now I totally want to make some for my little guy (thought I'll probably wait a little bit since he's only a month old!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome boy! I love that fabric.
ReplyDeleteSo. Stinking. Cute!
ReplyDeleteadorable!!!
ReplyDeleteCan we say Caddyshack?! I LOVE these! I too am all about dressing my boy up as long as I can! If only I could get him to keep clothes on, period!! Great job on these!!
ReplyDeleteADORABLE!!!! Looks like a cover of a magazine, just love it!
ReplyDeleteLike you sai, not up my alley but OMGOsh!!! He looks absolutely adorable. Wish I could be there on Sunday to see everyone's reaction.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Dressing boys is so much fun! My husband laughs at some of the things I put my son in but bold prints and patterns are such a fun combo on boys. Great job!
ReplyDeleteHe is so adorable and I love those pants!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try making the flat front pants for my 5 year old, but I'll have to size them up.
Ooooh, now I know what I'm doing with those hand-me-down plaid shirts my husband was given, but couldn't wear!
ReplyDeleteToo Cute!!!
ReplyDeletea-stinkin-dorable!!! Love it! I just may have to do something like this for my son and dress him in it two minutes before we leave so my husband can't change it! :) Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteOkay that is freakin' adorable.
ReplyDeletehe he he...garden gnome!
ReplyDeleteI want a garden gnome just like him! Oh, so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling little nugget, love the pants and bow tie too. Newest follower. Have a fab. weekend. WINKS-JEN
ReplyDeleteThe way you dress your boys is so CUTE! I love how dapper your little man looks. Thanks for showing me that if I have nothing but boys, they can still be as fun to dress as girls!
ReplyDeleteThe outfit is almost as cute as its model!
ReplyDeleteHe is BEYOND adorable. I love the photos you take of him. =) And I LOVE the outfit. I would put my son in that in a heartbeat!! I know my husband would dig it too.
ReplyDeleteI just made a tiny bow tie for my little man. I didn't use a pattern but I think it turned out great! If you want to see it, it's on my Bourdier Family blog. =)
P.S. I've probably told you, but you make me love having boys even more than I already do!
oh my I totally misread your post and thought you said you bought plaid paint at hobby lobby. I've been sitting here for the last 15 minutes trying to figure out how you painted them plaid! ahh! I was totally on board to try it too! I would like to purchase these :) run it by your little gnome and let me know what he thinks. So ADORABLE!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you tried the flat front! I love the fabric you chose. Great ensemble! And a very cute boy of course :)
ReplyDeleteso if Baden can't pull these off, it can't be done. Great job.
ReplyDeleteHe could pull off anything with that awesome hair! :) What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteHe is seriously the HandsomEst kid!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteHi Cheri - This is seriously the cutest thing ever! You little guy is the perfect model. Adorable. Thanks so much for linking to the Sunday Showcase party - I greatly appreciate it.
