One of my little guys turned 9 this week (yeah, I know, not so little anymore). After seeing the monster shirt I made his cousin he requested his own. I don't typically put the same monster on their shirts but it's what Sam wanted so that is what his Mama made him (honestly, I think he wanted the same monster because his brother designed it). The only changes made were the colors (I do my best do use their favorites).
I also made him a wallet. He has been asking for one for a while now. This seemed like the perfect time to get my rear in gear and make one for him. I followed this great tutorial by Noodlehead.
Perfect for all the moolah and gift cards he received :)
(sheesh...I wish I was 9 again!!)
I am curious, do your kiddos request handmade gifts from you?

Your sewing projects are great, but your boy outshines them -- what a nice looking lad you have there.
What a lucky boy! The shirt and wallet are awesome. I have one daughter who is constantly asking me to sew things for her, and every time I finish a quilt, she asks if she can have it. lol My other daughter has her own little one now, so she asks me to make things for him. It's a great feeling, even though sometimes all the requests are overwhelming. lol
great wallet....my kids don't ask for anything really and seem to be often underwhelmed by the gifts i do make them
The shirt and the wallet are super cool. I don't have any kids but I have a 5 year old nephew and I love making him stuff. He's still young enough to love it no matter what.. Right now it happens to be short/pants for a bear.
Great job on that wallet! My daughter is still at the age where appreciates the things I make for her. Unfortunately, the things she usually requests are beyond my skill level!
Great projects. Love that wallet, and the cash!! tee hee. The sweatshirt is just wonderful! Happy Birthday

Great birthday ideas ... sometimes it's tricky to find "guy"-type handmade gift ideas for boys. Nice work! Thanks for the link to the wallet tutorial ... might come in handy!
