Updated Newborn Baby Boy Gowns

I must take my hat off to the amazingly talented Carrie over at This Mama Makes Stuff. I found her rockin' baby gown tutorial when I first started blogging and fell in love with it.  There is something so precious about taking a shirt from dad (or mom) and turning it into something for baby.  When we found out we were having a boy, this tutorial was first on my list.  I made two other ones here and here for my sister last year. 

Imagine my delight when I went to make one for my one little guy and found that Carrie had improved her baby gown tutorial! She added added those little hand flaps which makes it everything I have ever wanted in a baby gown tutorial!

I made three gowns for my little one. 

A grey buffalo gown,

a brown dragon gown,

and a yellow gown with an old world map graphic .  I tried just serging the neckline on the yellow one and I don't like it as much as the other ones that were zig zag stitched.

I also had enough shirt fabric left over to make coordinating hats out of the grey and brown shirts.

I used this pattern and added a fabric piece around the bottom to bring in the beanie a bit.

We are so excited for this little one to come!
