More Short Sets for Sean

I had fun this weekend making 2 short sets (Simplicity 2907, size 4) for Sean. I bought the twill helicopter fabric shortly after the last issue of Australian Smocking & Embroidery came out. I found it at Peanutbutter-n-Jelly Kids. Such a cute print and perfect for Sean. AS&E had the shorts paired with a top that had a helicopter smocked on an insert. I just don't think he is a smocking kind of guy, so I found the helicopter applique at The Purple Hat. It worked out very well.



"Swingwing Pilot" is pilot slang. An airplane is considered a fixed-wing aircraft, and since a helicopter doesn't have fixed wings, it's a swingwing aircraft :-)

For this set, I made the shorts first, and couldn't decide what to put on the navy shirt. After searching through designs, I found the Batman symbol and it seemed to fit.


Hopefully Sean gets lots of great playtime out of these 2 outfits. I'm also sending another book on tape recorded by me. Just have to decide if I want to read "Where the Wild Things Are" or "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good,Very Bad Day"!
