BOY: suburban hipster

Welcome to See Kate Sew! If you’re new here, sign up for my email newsletter for access to free patterns, tutorials and all the latest sewing news! Tour my sewing room HERE!

It’s the second week at Project Run and Play and voting is open! 


Go vote!

It’s boy week at this week, which is nice because I have a boy! I didn’t have to round up models and hope the outfit fit for this one. 


I made a hipster look with skinny cords and a skinny square tie.


The best part is that in the inside of the lapel sport coat (which I made a little big, but I know it will fit in a few months) is a  secret car playmat. 
(Which is where the “suburban” part comes, driving in the suburbs!)

So when you’re all dressed up at a boring event or appointment you can take off the coat, drive the car out and *BAM* instant toy. I’m thinking the church pew would be a perfect surface for car racing!


The skinny cords were the real starting point of the whole outfit. I was going for modern interview outfit. A lightweight grey cord started it all. I wanted these pants to be just like jeans, with all the pockets, belt loops and topstitching. I used a few different sizes of twin needles for the topstitching. The cute little yoke in the back might be my favorite part. The back waistline has elastic and the front has a workable button fly. I really love the way the waistband and belt loops look. 

Lots of pictures, I just couldn’t help myself! I love this kid. He says apple now to describe any round food. It’s the cutest word I’ve ever heard.

    a secret car playmat in the lining of the coat !?!
    design genius !!!
    I can just see when this would come in really handy… like at church or in a waiting room, they just take off their coat, lay it on the floor & have quiet play time !!!

    the secret car mat is just adorable, I love it! I can see it as a girl thing too, a secret play mat for a pocket full of little Lalaloopsy figures or Littlest Pet Shop or Pollies or whatever the kids are into now! (mine just likes the Lalaloopsies lol)

    Awww, your little man is getting so big! I remember your posts when he was little and when you had him labeled as your sidekick on your blog sidebar.

    I love the creativity you used and the car mat idea, genius!

    I hope you write a tutorial or sell the patter…I want to make one for my little guy :)
