Project Run and Play: Challenge 3...BOYS!

This week's challenge has been my favorite so far! My son has recently become obsessed with Tony Hawk and skateboarding at the skate park, so I thought I'd make him the ultimate skateboard outfit! The tee shirt is an upcycle of a tee that was too small for him.


He just couldn't bear to part with it!

The sweat shirt is an upcycle as well. My hubby's sweater shrank in the wash (oops!), so I thought it would make the perfect base for an awesome skater hoodie. The back has a skater guy on a ramp, which I have to say is my favorite part.
Every skater needs to bring along accessories like extra wheels and bakugan cards (ya know, the essentials) so I made him a bag to go along with his outfit. The bag is made from his father's BDUs. You can read more about him HERE.

I hope you enjoy boy's week as much as I have! Go to Project Run and Play and VOTE!!!

  1. First of all, with a model like that how could anyone vote against you? I love that his outfit has components from Dan as well as from Jason.The bag is a really neat idea for him to keep a piece of Dan with him.

  3. That t-shirt is such a great idea! As well as the rest. But there are some clothes of my daughters that I can't seem to part with because they are so cute! I have some sewing to do!

  4. I love the bag! When they switched over to the new uniforms I was soooo annoyed. That meant I had at least 10 uniforms floating around in the 'army closet' that were now completely useless.

    I made a quilt out of some of them, but I still (even after how many years ago did they switch?) have more than I can think what to do with.

    Sometimes I go to the fabric store and I see the camo bolts and I chuckle to myself because that would never, ever be something I needed to buy.

    So... I love your bag idea! I'll have to try that out myself.

    ps here's a link to the blanket I made... it's not the best picture (it was when I very first started my blog) http://cannwin.blogspot.com/2008/10/friday-discussion-do-you-sew.html

  5. Hey! I love your skater hoodie--there's not a tutorial that I haven't found yet by any chance, is there? It's so hard to find great stuff for boys--love it!
