I get very inspired after reading Sew Beautiful magazine, which is now, sadly, discontinued. I have carefully kept most of my issues and re-read them as often as I can. Today I'm going to show you some of the styles that have captivated my interest.
This beautiful design is called “Banded Boy Bubble,” found in the Sew Beautiful 2014 Summer Issue, on page 13. What I love most about this outfit is the pleated shirt front.

I then adapted this design as a boy’s blessing suit as well as an outfit for an older aged boy.
Later, when my fourth grandchild was born, I reused this design for his blessing day outfit, size 0-3 months. The front pleats and buttons make this outfit very elegant (not to mention vintage!) and appropriate for more dressy occasions.
So after reworking this design several times, I guess I've come to call my version the 2016 “Front Pleated Boy’s Suit.”
