A month ago, I made an adorable hoodie for my nephew. I recently made one exactly like it for my friend’s little boy who also loves all things cars and tractors. They came over for a play date the other day and he was wearing the hoodie!
It fit him really well, which I as happy about. I love making things for friends that are useful, fun and yes, I have to admit, well appreciated. I’ve had to learn the hard way in the past that not everyone appreciates hand made items or realizes the value they hold — not just in cost of materials, but the amount of time it takes to do it. Anyway, for this friend, I will happily sew!
It was so nice of this little guy’s mom to bring him over for a play date AND have him wear the shirt I just made AND help me take photos AND let me post them on my blog today. Gwyneth also enjoyed the play date! They had so much fun!
I am with you — I just LOVE when a friend really appreciates receiving handmade things! I too have learned that not everyone appreciates it and I am learning who to share my handmade goodies with. Love that your friend put the hoodie on her little man for your playdate!!!! Thanks for sharing! Adorable hoodie too!! 🙂
