Thank you all for the great comments! The cold is long-gone and it wasn't bad, but being out of town and working quite a bit threw a lot of unknowns into the equation. I know this sweatshirt recon isn't an impressive technical effort, but it's nice to wear and was a fun experiment and I appreciate the feedback. Some specific comments to respond to:

@glam.spoon @phill - I'd not thought of this being very mod, but you both mentioned it! I can see it now.

@Gail - I bet it was the DIY undies posts that flagged my blog as forbidden. (And the wireless access at my son's school also forbids me access, though I have no real clue why.) Scandalous, this blog is. ;)

@ginger - There are more photos, maybe just one or two more, over at Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/22676897@N02/4366415821/in/set-72157606262951290/

Your refashions really do blow me away every time. This is so cute, looks comfy and chic (such a rare combo) and you are utterly adorable with your poses.

So cute!

Don't worry about the hips, it's clear what your shape is under that - the tulip shape that the fullness gives is flattering on you.

He looks super cute in that hat, although he looks to be the age where he'd prefer to be called handsome.

You make very valid points here. I have an Etsy shop and a Big Cartel shop and I definitely prefer Big Cartel.

It's cleaner and very easy to use. I love how easy it is to link to your blog. Customers can view item easily without a lot of clutter and I love not having to tag each item only to have it move waaaaaaaaay down the search list 2 mins later.

With Etsy you have to constantly keep posting items daily in order to show up in the first 20 pages of a search. What I do like about Etsy is the community it has created for both buyers and sellers. They offer very good advice on forums, and they often highlight undiscovered talent. It's a great community, but if your just looking for a simple clean store layout that's easy to use Big Cartel us perfect.

Great post. Love, love the cap.

I loved your comments about your sons big head. It took me back. sigh. Mine is 16 now and I think he has finally grown into his. He turned out very handsome so I think big boy heads are a good sign.
I have a little boy who will love this hat. But I also needed 20 newsboy caps for girls camp this summer. Our theme is Oliver. I can't thank you enough for sharing!

I really like this - i have a wool dress that's quite similar in style - v 60's mod - can't believe that you've made your own out of sweatshirts! You are too clever : )

2010-02-28T08:20:00.363-06:00

I love this and I love "celebrate the boy." I have 3 grown and when they were small boys I'd get so irritated - everything and still seems to be all about girls. Thanks for posting the cap is awesome.
