I made three of the 90 Minute Shirt from MADE — a simple, lap shoulder, long sleeve shirt, made from a recycled adult t-shirt — for Nathaniel, all out of clothes of mine that I no longer wear, or scraps from my stash which originally came from the thrift store. 

And then it looked too plain so I added a giraffe using the freezer paper stencil technique. (I also made the pants and shoes in this photo from a felted wool sweater a while ago. An entire mama-made outfit!)

 

 

I’ve made Nathaniel a few pairs of wool pants from the sleeves of thrift store sweaters, but I think these new ones are perhaps my favorites.

I had found a nice soft J. Crew sweater, and it felted up really nicely, but it had holes in the elbows. The elbows make the bum of baby pants. So I covered the holes with pockets made of the same sweater fabric, sewn on with contrasting thread.

There are matching shoes in the works, but he hasn’t given me another evening to work on them again yet. Soon, I hope.
