In our family the tradition is to decorate for Christmas the weekend after Thanksgiving. As I started to sort through our ornaments this morning I began to ponder what the kids will wear for Christmas Eve. My daughter will probably wear a red silk dress with rosettes that I ordered online last week. But what about my son? He could probably wear his navy trousers with a dress white shirt... boring! I needed something to spice up the outfit. Quick search online and I found the perfect tutorial @ the Lemon Squeezy Home blog HERE.
The fabric was gifted to me in a pile a couple of years ago and it seemed perfect for this project. I didn't have fleece and didn't feel like heading out to the store so I used a piece of jersey from my 'old clothes waiting to be recycled' pile. What I'm saying is that this project took less than 30 minutes and cost me NOTHING.
My model is teething and has a bit of a cold, so he wasn't very into the photo shoot. I can't wait to see the bow tie on him Christmas Eve. I know it will look perfect with his crisp white dress shirt and blue pants. Bonus: he'll match his sister :) Thanks for stopping by!Proudly linking to:

Absolutely adorable! If only I had a little boy... sigh...
Adorable! Brought back a lot of good memories when my little tiger still let me dress him. Now he's 22 and our taste is worlds apart. :) I always loved making little boy ties, though, cheap, wonderful way to mess up your little man. I loved the material you chose!
stopping by from CRAFT :) thanks for the great idea! I was just wondering what my little man could wear. girls are so much easier to dress up!
What a cute bowtie! I absolutely love the plaid and bet he looks so handsome in it.
Thanks for sharing it and thanks for linking up to Making Your Home Sing Monday!
