Things that go...Fabulous Boy Fabrics!

Fabric designers are finally starting to figure out that crafty mama's are itching to buy up cute boy fabrics...here are some of my favorite wheelin' and dealin' ones to use for the little man on the go!


From the same line...

Dig it!

Fly by Day

I am beyond excited about Birch Fabric's new 100% organic line-Circa 50 byMonaluna...I have been searching high and low for organic fabrics that are cute and perfect for the kiddos-vintage van's and retro rockets? What could be cooler? (Watch Fabric Worm's site for the big sale debut!)
I love the Mid-Centry Modern furniture!

... but the vintage vehicles will be perfect for the little guys!

Let's hear it for the boys!

Mom's, dad's, grandparents and other fans of little boys know three things:
  1. There are far more things in commercial store and in the handmade marketplace for little girls.
  2. If you are a DIY kind of person, the selection of boy fabrics and other craft supplies (patterns, yarn, etc.) sometimes leave much to be desired in design or supply.
  3. When you do find cute boy things, buy it, give it, snatch it up and share it with others!

This week at Camp Cupcake, I will... Dana of Made and Rae of Made by Rae are BOTH celebrating all things fabulous for the little men in our lives all. month. long. I am ecstatic! I will be participating in celebrating the boy as well here (this is an all boy camp at the moment!) and look forward to sharing some of my favorite boy things all week long.

What I am loving this moment...

Learn how to make your own patterns and how to use freezer paper stenciling or just print or copy a design you like, cut, trace on fabric/knit/fleece to boy-bling up some custom tees and pants!

Rally all those loose little cars into this on-the-go car caddy by Homemade by Jill...(I am SO making this!)

Upcycle daddy's old t-shirt into this super cute 90 minute shirt
I have my own little tutorial in the works to share with you one of my favorite little upcycled, boy-friendly (super easy...I promise!) projects and will continue to share all of my boy discoveries. I have also concentrated my efforts this weekend and have stocked the store with some great boy goodies in the store!
