Knowing that Declan is Thomas the Tank Engine's number one fan I couldn't resist putting this embroidered Thomas applique onto it. It is an iron-on transfer but I handstitched a blanket stitch around it. It finished it off nicely I think!
The sleeves have a small 'tab' on them too with a wooden button holding them down, the fabric matches the checked fabric on the pants.
A special thank you to the talented Lisa Barnes for the photography.
So that's what I've been doing amongst a whole lot of orders.. I didn't get a chance to make Emily her birthday outfit (her b'day is on Sunday 17th Dec) or Christmas outfit.. I will probably have to pack all my sewing stuff up soon ready to put on the truck in about 3 weeks..
Things are hectic around here!! Packing, cleaning, parties, goodbyes :( Birthdays, Christmas.. And it doesn't stop there either, it just starts back up again in the new year.. Oh well, I can't say that my life is boring!!
Ok, I'm off.. Hopefully I'll get back on here before I leave..

What a gorgeous boy in a gorgeous outfit! I love the extra detail on the sleeves.
That is a perfect outfit for Declan! He is attached to Thomas isn't he!!!
Great job!
I am glad I inspired someone :) It was my blog that you saw the pants with the checked fabric at the hem with the tabs and Country Road buttons. I think you did a great job with them and the Thomas t-shirt too.
Love the outfit! It looks great! Good luck with the packing!
Great outfit, he looks very happy with it. Hope the move goes well it was a shame we didn't get to meet before you left.
Oh Angel, that set is so cute!! Miss Milly would even love that Thomas motif!! Hope the move goes well and looking foward to seeing your new sewing adventures in the new house! :)
Tigerboy would be sooo jealous!
