This was my first make from the Sew Fab Bundle. Winter has definitely arrived and you know how kids and a change of season go…nothing ever fits. When I first opened the Sew Fab Bundle, I knew this was a must make! Tees are quick wins for me. Easy to sew, use little fabric and get lots of use. The pattern is The Cupcake Top (unisex) by Sewing Mama RaeAnna.
This is a nice quick sew and I love the fit, nice and relaxed. I like to squeeze a second top under it for warmth. Roman has an aversion to wearing jumpers, jackets, hoodies or vests so I like to cram an extra tee on him when I can.
Curious as to what else is in the bundle? Take a look at the full details here.
He loves the pocket on the front…perfect for keeping hands warm and hiding his discoveries…pegs, cars, raisins from under the couch. Roman has a huge head, so out of habit I cut the neckband a little longer than the pattern suggests, though looking at it now I don’t think I needed to. I’m sure it would have fit fine.
I think he’s plotting what to stash in the pocket next…don’t give him any ideas!
Full details of the bundle and the fabulous giveaway can be found in this post here.

Jane from Lil Pip says
Oh Abby – this is a lovely take on the top. I can totally see my Master 7 loving this too! Sold!!
Melissa Lea-Wood says
Cute cute cute and I love seeing it as a boys top, I don’t think I would’ve immediately thought boy for a top called cupcake. But I could make these up my Madeleine and Max. Picking up my bundle tomorrow.

Thanks Laura! I got it really cheap, still have a metre or two left.
Natalie @sewoutnumbered says
Oh this is so adorable!! I love the print on the fabric too. Can I ask what type of fabric it is – just a jersey cotton or something thicker??
abby @ thingsforboys says
Thanks Natalie. I’ve used a cotton jersey for the top. The pocket is a scrap leftover from upcycling an old tshirt.
Mrs. Lucky says
Looks great on Roman! (He is quite a handsome little boy by the way)
abby @ thingsforboys says
thanks! I think so too, though my opinion is not very reliable! 😉
Jenya says
Oh Roman looks so cute in his new top! Layering, it is all about layering now. We had frost on the grass this morning! It’s crazy!

It’s been so cold hasn’t it?! I’ve had cold ankles all day because I’ve got short socks on 😉
