Umbrella shirts

We have had some rain/ wet snow mix around here this week. Perfect weather for the boys' new umbrella shirts.

I found this fabric for $5 for a 5 yard bolt at Walmart. It wasn't as thick this time as the navy thermal knit I got last time so I zig-zag stitched everything to feel confident it would all hold.

I made a 90-minute shirt from MADE for Reid, my youngest.

Owen got a shirt I patterned after a shirt he has in his closet...well I guess I should say drawer really. :) It is fairly similar to the 90 minute shirt but with a different collar. I did not use ribbing so it fits a little tight coming off, but my son has other store bought shirts like that so I don't feel too bad. 

He might disagree though. ha :)

I also messed around and made me some leggings. I followed Dana's ruched legging tutorial but just didn't runch them. I still don't know how I feel about the print on me.

If I don't feel brave enough to wear it exposed again, I will certainly wear them under my jeans when the snow comes. It is thermal knit after all.
I would say rain rain go away but I know it won't. We are supposed to get more snow this week. So...bring it on! :)

Way to go, Walmart! That's super cool fabric! And I'm loving those shirts- both of them. They look really fantastic! AND- You should DEFINITELY be brave and wear those leggings.

It's not always about being brave enough, it's sometimes about just being happy.

Please wear them in public. They are so cute. I LOVE those shirts on your boys, too. They are adorable. They'd be so cute with a short sleeve over the top too, with the umbrella arms hanging out. Great work, Delia!
