.Tops for Tommy.

Guess what?  Tommy grew!  Up, at least.  He never seems to put on weight as he gets taller and looks skinnier by the day.  Growing means that I had to take some of his long-sleeved tops out of the cupboard and replace them with some new ones.  Fun!

Here are the three latest additions:

 

All from Ottobre.  Two I have made before and liked so much that I made in the next size up.  The first is from Ottobre Spring 1/2011. #25. "Eleven & One"striped hoody.  The boys in the house love hoodies, so this one is received well and will probably be made in every size for the next few years!  I added long-sleeves under the short ones to this one again (the pattern is for a short-sleeved hoody).

This one was another favourite last time.  I really like the slim-fit of this top.  It is from Ottobre 4/2008.  #25 "Pekka T-Shirt".  This one will also be made alot - I like the ribbing binding on the neckline and short-sleeves, especially when I can use a funky striped ribbing for extra contrast.

Lastly, this one was a new top that I hadn't made before.  It's fine, but definitley not my favourite.  It's a little sloppy looking to me.  Which may be partly because of Tommy's skinny frame.  Would probably look better on a fuller kid! It's definitley still wearable and will fit him for awhile.  This one is from Ottobre 1/2009. #22 "Harava" sweatshirt.  The original pattern was for a double-sleeved top, but I decided to leave out the short-sleeves on this one.

So there you have it!  Time to get stuck into some Summer sewing I think...better go and reasses the wardrobes and see what the kiddos are in need of!
