UNO

My little Jumper just turned Uno.So for his party I went with the classic card game theme:
and made him this outfit:I cut up two women's tees for the black knit fabric and used one of his onesies as a pattern for the top/neck area (finished off with grey ribbing and orange thread). Then I freezer-paper stenciled an UNO card on front. I really love how it turned out:
And not to be too self-congratulatory but the pants turned out just as I envisioned! I love them!
Made of rayon suiting fabric, I lined them with soft gray knit, attached pockets with red top-stitching, and my biggest feat? (drumroll)....I actually made pants with a flat front. Haah. It really wasn't that hard. Why haven't I done this sooner? I still added an elastic waist band in back to keep them snug around his diaper bum:
They really look cute on him.
Time for UNO cupcakes
Happy birthday little guy!

He looks like a stylish one! I have no one turning Uno anymore, but what a great theme. It's my boys' favorite game. Every FHE ends in either speed Uno or Uno Attack. Those pants are killer too. You have quite the brain. Love it all.

Love the clothes on this blog! How did you start sewing? Any hints for the beginner! My little boy is going to turn 1 in a week and he looks so much like your little boy! My little girl is 3. I want to make a lot of coordinating outfits, but don't really know how to learn how to get started, any advice would be great!

I absolutely love your style. Those pants are to die for. I have been looking on your blog for a place to buy the pattern, but I haven't found one. Also, how do you line your pants?
