The One with Fox's Ties


Monday, September 17, 2012

Fox had two ties that he wore every Sunday up until a few months ago when he simply outgrew them. So then I started searching for new ties at all the usual places: babyGAP, The Children's Place, Gymboree, Janie & Jack, etc. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Why do they not make ties for toddler boys except 'round the holidays? They're oh so cute! So then I looked on etsy - $20 a pop. Hmmm. Not quite in my budget right now. So then I got crafty and googled "toddler boy tie pattern" and found one so I can make my own gosh dern ties! My mother-in-law flew in Friday morning and Friday night we hit up Jo-Ann and I picked out my own fabric for Foxy ties. We've been spending spare minutes here and there whipping them up and here they are!

He wore that last one to church yesterday and looked so handsome :) Now I just need to learn how to actually tie them on his neck!

And I may or may not start listing some in my etsy shop. We'll see. 2013 calendars coming soon though, that's for sure!

  4. SO cute! I wonder if I could make a tiny one for my baby's blessing? I like the bow-tie trend, but I love a classic tie.

  10. FANTASTIC!! Love them all especially the last one! I TOTALLY know what you mean it was WAY hard to find ties for my boys when they were younger--last night we went and got a suit for my 12 year old--talk about an ordeal! He REALLY wanted one and we found one FINALLY! ;)

  12. I would have to make Paul dress Devin every week...this may be a good idea to have ties that don't clip! :)

    PS Children's Place has ties around Easter, and I found some at Macy's as well.
