When I first designed the jacket, I thought that the sleeve pocket was a trendy detail to include...my siblings thought it was a great joke when they pointed out to me that sleeve pockets are used to carry cigarette boxes in! Haha, I think our little boys will enjoy using the pocket for collecting shells and rocks ;)
Remember, the original Downtown Boy pattern remains the same, but will now be called LITTLE Downtown Boy - including sizes 6 months-5 years.
The new pattern, BIG Downtown Boy is EXACTLY the same design, only the size range for this pattern is 6-10 years.
If you would like to purchase a copy of Big Downtown Boy for yourself, they should be popping up in retail stores very soon. Ask your favourite store to get one in for you!
I'm giving away a copy of Big Downtown Boy to one lucky reader - leave a comment on this post to be in the running!
(Giveaway will close Tuesday 14th June and winner will be drawn via a random number generator)

That's fantastic! I've been looking forward to you releasing this in the larger sizes - I can't wait to start sewing one now! Thanks!
Oh I just made the Downtown jacket for my son, and throught his big sister would love one for her even though I made her the the girls version. I would love the giveaway!, Thank you

Hooray for larger sizes! Little boys eventually do grow up sizewise, even if they seem like little boys all their lives (my husband included!)
Super cute!
