I had been promising my little guy a tool belt to match daddy's for awhile now, but with so many orders to fill, that sadly was put last on my list. Finally after he begged and begged for more then 10 minutes, and with a "you promised me" thrown in there, WE decided to make one together. I never sew with the kids around because it is just plain chaos, but with the two girls sleeping I decided to give it a shot. We used a pair of daddy's old overalls that were headed for the trash. I simply cut off the bib part and turned it into a pouch. I kept the buckles per my sons request and added another plastic buckle from my sewing stash. As you can see, it was very quick and easy to make. A total of 15 minutes was spent making it, but by the look on his face you would have thought I spent hours on it. Oh, I love how easy it is to please my little ones. Please, never change!!
Sewing with him so much fun and I learned that he is quite the little designer. His requests were to have a buckle on the front like daddy's and to have plenty of pockets for all his tools. I wanted to make a loop to hold his hammer but nope, that was not in HIS design.
I think we may bring out the sewing machine again and sew together, it was a lot of fun!
I think we better make this little girl one of her own, or we are going to have a lot of fights. Don't you love the boots?!? Its 90 degree's out and she wants to wear winter boots. It was just not worth the battle!
OMG!!! I have to make this for my son (and daughter too probably!!)--I will have to look for some old overalls somewhere... hmmm... Thanks for the email! We'll chat soon!!!
