sewing patterns for boys

My son is almost two months old (where did the time go???) and I am finally getting into enough of a routine that I feel like I can get back to the sewing machine and make him some stuff.  Only problem is that there are not a lot of patterns for boys! I don't want to make him newborn sleep sacks and stuff because we got a ton of them at my shower. I'm looking for cute accessories (hats, ties, etc) and maybe a coat.  I would also like to make him some things for next spring/summer because I think it will be too hard to make him things for the winter and we have a TON of clothing that was given to us for that time period.  

 

SO... my question is: any suggestions for where to find boy patterns? I've looked at all the typical sites O&S, Simplicity, Butterick, McCalls, etc.  I did get an awesome McCalls pattern - http://mccallpattern.mccall.com/m6575-products-22766.php?page_id=489 - (sorry I can't make it a clicky on my new mac ... not sure how this thing works yet!) and cannot wait to make the hats but then I'm at a loss.  

 

Thanks!!!

Re: sewing patterns for boys

  • Ottobre subscription? It's not cheap- but, I love them- and you get SO many patterns. Tees and hoodies are my favorite things to sew for my son. Quick projects that he loves to wear. You can make little pants/shorts so quickly, too- there are several free tutorials for basics,
  • Thank you, I've thought about Ottobre but wasn't sure... maybe I will put that on my list for Santa :-)
