I was very torn with what my next project should be – I have a long list of things I would like to sew up, but with Easton’s birthday coming up soon (April 23), I thought that I should make something for my future 1 year old. I decided on Kai’s shirt from Heather Ross’ Weekend Sewing and a Baby Nay Nay sailboat print from “>The Fabric Fairy.
I traced off the 12 month size from the pattern in the book, cut the material, and set to work. This is about as far as I got:
I hit a snag when I started attaching the collar to the shirt…. it’s too big (by almost 4 inches). I checked the Weekender website to see if there was an update to this pattern, etc., but I never saw anything. I sent in an email with my problem, but have decided to set it aside for the day before I resize the collar.

Very cute print – can’t wait to see the completed project. I can’t believe the collar was off by 4 inches! I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one to make “birthday outfits”. For me it all started when I found a fabric with the sesame street characters having a party and that happened to be the theme of my daughters 2nd birhtday party – I knew I had to find a use for it so I made her a jumper. I’ve been making theme related birthday outfits ever since! My baby will be turning one not too long from now too but I haven’t got a theme picked out yet.
Good luck witht the collar!
I’m sorry you found an error in the pattern. I measure every line of a pattern now, because I’ve found so many discrepencies. It’s very aggravating.
I can’t believe that your son is almost a year old!!!
I will have to start early this year because this July I will have both my girls having a birthday. And there is sooo much that I want to do.
I can’t believe Easton is almost 1! Wow! The fabric for the shirt is adorable. Patterns that don’t work are so frustrating! Good Luck!
Hi Stac,
The fabric is so cute. Yes I too cannot believe he is one soon. I too have some shirt patterns to try out will have to get the pattern numbers and share them. Hope you get a response in time to finish for his party.
Take Care
