Tutorial: Pirate costume for a toddler

by

piratecostumeLinda from  Pane Amore & Creativita shows how she made a Halloween costume for her sweet little pirate.  She provides the tutorial for making a vest and links to a tutorial for the hat.  I love the embroidered pirate on the back of the vest!  Get the tutorials.

Her blog is written in Italian, but I was able to get the gist of the tutorials from the photos.  You could also use a website translator such as Babelfish to help you out.

Etsy Spotlight – The Thomas Boys Shirt Sewing Pattern

This week in our Etsy Spotlight Series, we’re loving the timeless charm of the Thomas Shirt Sewing Pattern for boys. This versatile button-up pattern is perfect for every occasion—from backyard playdates to weddings and special celebrations.

We think this pattern really shines when paired with fun, bold prints—think quirky florals, vintage cars, tropical vibes, or even festive Christmas fabrics! It’s a fantastic way to let your fabric stash shine while creating something practical and adorable.

This pattern is a must-have for any sewing parent or grandparent. The design is polished enough for formal wear (wedding shirt, anyone?) but still comfy and easygoing for everyday use.

Tip: Try sewing it up in linen or lightweight cotton for summer, or use flannel for a cozy winter version.

Whether you’re sewing for your own kids or making gifts, the Thomas Shirt sewing pattern is a classic that’ll be on repeat.
