ABOUT A BOY
"About A Boy" is a hip cap and satchel bag set to keep active, energetic boys happy.
This is the cap your boy will always reach for first. With adjustable velcro tabs at the back, it won't fly off his head when a sudden gust of wind blows and will protect him from the heat of the sun.
The satisfying satchel bag is made especially with boys in mind. The patchwork detail on the flap gives it a bit of funk without going overboard.
This macho-style set is a must-have for every boy!
This version of About A Boy was made using 100% organic fabric, "Circa 50" by Monaluna for Birch Fabrics. I absolutely love the funky boy-friendly prints...the cars are my favourites by far!

I absolutely love the new pattern and if I don't win it, will be grabbing it as soon as I can. I only sew for a boy so this is just perfect. Thank you for your wonderful patterns. I can't wait to try another one.
lOVE it!!! The pattern is great too!! ;) Looks tricky!
I think My favourite pattern is the Uptown Girl.... Maybe the Shearwater Kaftan!!
Yet another fantastic pattern! I'm not sure I can choose one favourite pattern. At the moment I am loving Pinny #2 and Little Explorer. But I also love Fancy Pants. Thanks for the giveaway :)
These are adorable! I really like the way the cap looks. I think my favorite is the Uptown Girl.
Keep em coming!
22! how do you have the time?!? Good work though, the satchel would make a great church bag. I have always loved the dinosaur quilt pattern.
he he... a couple of weekends ago I took photos of a bride and groom right by that white flaky church hanging off the fence just like Harri!... and there Harri is! Love it. Cute bag ... I just love the fabrics you choose!
ohhh I nearly forgot.... this one is my favourite!! Each new one I see becomes it!!!
ohhh... do i have to choose 1 as a favourite. I like the Versatile Wrap and Lazy Days hat - equally! I am very keen to also try the Uptown Girl and Downtown Boy patterns for this coming winter.
Well done on your new pattern - the cap looks fabulous!
Love the new pattern, its great to see more boy things coming out.
My favourite MIP is the versatile wrap.
Good work! My all time fav is the uptown girl but I am yet to make it :s
Such a great pattern Toni! I've just posted my pattern testing pics and giveway details on my blog. Do I have to pic a favourite? Maybe Blossom .. but I have a few more to try :)
My fav at the moment is Slumber Party Jammies!
Gosh, what a cute kid!!!!
I love the hat, and I think girls would like it in other girly colours
I would wear this hat. I also love the bags that you made for Carli and your Mum for Christmas. I was thinking about adopting you for the run-up for next Christmas.
You really have a talent Toni.
I think Miss Fiona has done an excellent job as well.
Love Auntie Lorraine.

P.S. the word verification is sucka, which is quite appropriate for me as I love entering competitions, but I never win, but one day who Knows?
Nice one! My favourite is the uptown girl jacket and I'm just about to make it! Would love to add this one to my collection.
Very difficult to choose just one... But I guess Summer fling is my favorite!
this boy cap is so cute!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I love it! Patterns for boys are great. My favourite pattern is the Lazy Day hat. I have almost our whole family kitted out in them! I would have loved a legionnaires variation on this cap tho - Kids have the wear that style of hat (or broad-brimmed) at school and kinda etc). Still love it tho and will be buying the pattern as soon as I can get it.
What a great pattern! I love your Little Explorer pattern and the #2 Pinny the best. I am about to make the Wrap and Downtown Boy so my favourite may change ;)
Whadya mean pick a favourite?? I love them all...but I'll be selfish & pick one that I'm making for myself "the shearwater kaftan". I had a very pretty beaded one that I wore constantly during my last two pregnancys, so it's been put to the back of the wardrobe for super daggy days. So I thought it's about time I had a newbie. Thanks so much for your great 'boy' patterns even though my little missy will try & wrestle it off her brother.
This pattern is my favourite because you have SUCH a cute model in it :) Harri will be pumped to see this tomorrow!!!
This is fantastic, both the bag and the cap, well done. Hmm, asking us to choose a fav- that's tricky, mine, would be this, or summer fling I think. Thanks for a giveaway.
I love this pattern! And my new love is your shearwater kaftan.
Although my sentimental favourite will always be your wrap skirt - the first piece of clothing I ever made - and now I have 3 of them!
Toni, you've done it again!! Very cute cap! Love it.
What a great pattern! Love the cap and satchel. They are perfect for a boy.
Wow, I really love to make this cap for my little (6 turning into 7) boy! I checked your patterns, I feel sorry for myself my girl is getting too big for these patterns ;-(. I really love the kaftan and the versatile wrap! Can't choose, I am sorry...
I LOVE THIS PATTERN! It's always hard to find boy gifts to sew & this one is great! My favorite pattern is the for the art smock. :)
I would love to make this for my boys. My fave pattern is the downtown boy.
So cute - I love the cap especially!
OOPS, gorgot to say that the flirty skirts pattern is my favourite!
congrats for the new pattern and good luck!
i love the new pattern but my favorite is the uptown girl- so cute!

I love so man of your patterns it will be hard to stop at one - But the Uptown girl is about to become a favourite in my Darling Daughters wardrobe very soon.
And congratulations on attern #22. It is so cool for the little men in the world:)
Another great pattern Toni, well done!
Angela
Looks great, I have two little men that would love these. Today I completed your wrap around skirt(fav pattern) using moda fabric form the verna range...yummy. Loving it, well done. I don't have a blog but you can visit me at lanasgarden.com
Fantastic pattern. Fave pattern would have to be the Lazy Day hat pattern. Everyone in the family has one or two! And they have been well received gifts for friends too.
Hooray! More boy patterns! I think this might be my new favourite! As a Mum of 2 boys, it's often hard to find patterns and fabric for boys. Thanks Toni, the boys will be getting new library/swimming/something else bags - even if I don't win the pattern!

I just love the hat. I want a family of hats not matching but co-ordinated in some way. So cute!! And the matching bag. What a winner.
Love the new pattern....will look so cute on my little boy!!
My favourite is definately the new pattern.
Thanks for the giveaway
Awesome pattern!! My favourite so far is the lazy day hat...but also love the uptown girl.. this one looks like a winner!!! Congratulations - Jacinta B
oh cute! harri is such a little spunk.
my fav... um the eye spy bag cause it's one I'm capable of making!! hehe... oh and I also the wrap skirt :)
My favourite is the shearwater kaftan. This is a great new pattern too- looking forward to making a cap for D.
i blogged about it too.
New pattern is great! There's not much out there for boys so good on you.
My favourite pattern would be the Flirty Skirts. My friend has made one for herself, and every time I see it I think "I must go get that pattern!"
What a cute pattern, my queensland nephews would love some of the those caps.
I have made a few of your patterns, i wear my versatile wrap often as i am preggers, it has been great, so should have made myself another........Wanting to make my eldest the uptown girl for this winter it is such a great pattern.
My favourite pattern is Bloom; it's so cute but quite simple. In fact it's my son's favourite too- he asked me to make him one of the tops yesterday... so I'm thinking I need this new pattern, so I can make something appropriate for him!
What a great pattern, I can never find a decent hat pattern for my little man, terrific to see you putting together more boys stuff, now if only fabric designers will follow suit... My favourite pattern has to be the Shearwater Kaftan though, currently coveting some gorgeous silk in the city that Im hoping will become my latest 'out to play' top!
I really like the Bambino set. So adorable. The boy hat is just terrific. I love how easy it looks to make.
I just loove this new pattern, I will definately be buying a copy, my son will love it.
ooh I love the new pattern. I think my favourite pattern would be the little explorer shorts as it the first thing I made for my boys.
FABULOPUS pattern - I love how the brim is just that bit longer - perfect for QLD!!
I LOVE the Shearwater Kaftan - I thnk that would be my favourite at the moment!!
Keep the patterns coming - they are fantastic!
