Silly and Sweet Pockets for Aidan

Aidan started nursery school this week.  Sniff.  To overcome my bit of heartbreak, I used the opportunity to make him a special outfit. 

I used an easy pants pattern that had patch pockets on the outside. Because the ticking fabric I used is woven and the inside and the outside are the same, I turned the facing of the pocket to the outside (I hope I am saying this correct). I sewed twill tape and stamped the words "silly" on one pocket and "sweet" on the other.  I left the edges to fray.

I then cut out fabric in the shape of an apple and did a similar thing with his top. This time, I used the word "happy" and sewed the apple to an Old Navy shirt.  Again, I left the edges to fray.

Aidan loves his new outfit. He wore it Monday and asked to wear it again today!  It was easy, unique and fun.

I love the idea of the pockets and their little statement, but most of all I think Aidan is adorable.
