This Summer one of my sons broke his arm and needed it cast almost to his shoulder, this made getting tees on and off very tricky.  Inspired by the port access placket of the Pickle Toes Pattern Hope, I added a snap up placket to the shoulders of some of his tees.  I hope you never need it but I've put together a little tutorial for you just in case! A snap placket can either be done on ready made tees or as you are making a new one, this tutorial covers adding one to a new tee and I used the Pickle Toes Patterns Fried Pickles which is FREE with the code from their Facebook Group

Pickle Toes Patterns - Back to School Blog Tour

Welcome to my stop on this Back to School Blog Tour hosted by Pickle Toes Patterns and thanks for joining me. The tour is running throughout August and there are links at the bottom of my post to take you to all the other stops, an excusive discount code and a rafflecopter giveaway!

Being a home educating family, Back to School means something a little different to the traditional interpretation. For us, it's a reminder that Autumn {and it's chilly, windy weather} is coming and a good time to start new topics and projects. 

Our time is split quite equally between home studies and hands on trips and visits so it is super important to me that as well as our clothes being functional and comfortable that we can use them to reflect our personalities and likes helping our self confidence as well.

Dragon Tee Tutorial

Earlier this week, I shared some photos of these tees I made my boys with the amazing custom Fire Scales Fabric from Rumpled Stitchings flash preorder (Closes 15th April 2017, be quick!) and had so many requests for the pattern name that I agreed to upload the templates I used along with instructions to my blog so you can make your own! My boys have literally worn these solidly since the photos were taken and I'm pretty sure your little people will love them too ;)
*** PLEASE NOTE ***
​ It is ESSENTIAL you check your local laws and make sure they fully comply whether gifting or selling.  EG. In the UK these would class as dressing up and need CE testing & marking etc and as the maker that is your responsibility. Alter the templates as needed to comply.
