The Dapper Punk by Max California
Week 3 for Season 6 of Project Run & Play is Boys Week!
Sewing boys' stuff is so much fun! All I knew for 3 and a half years was sewing for the little guy. It doesn't have to be boring just because you can't add a ruffle to it! Vincent's look this week is inspired by a certain well-dressed boy band that I do NOT listen to but I like their style... combined with a classic punk look and with a big nod to a Batman villain. Vincent's clothes are always trendy but with an edge. He won't wear them if they are not comfortable, and if they don't have a superhero or a Star Wars element to them. His jacket is based on the Basic Blazer by Melly Sews and is made from classic black drill. I drafted a new collar from scratch, turning it into a shawl collar. The blazer is lined with a green tartan brushed cotton and I added two welt pockets on the insides. If you head to my blog you'll get to see the surprise pocket lining. These pockets were added for him to put his lego mini figures {Specifically Jango Fett} in when he goes out so he doesn't lose them. Underneath he wears a plain white v-necked tee with sleeves that go to just above his elbow. The patch pocket is pleather, and was made to look like it's dripping or melting.
The pants are dual coloured, one leg black drill and the other green tartan brushed cotton. They have brass zippers at the ankles and surprise pocket lining as well. I used the Skinny Jeans pattern by Peek-a-boo Pattern Shop, but since I never seem to use stretch fabric with these, I added more room on the sides while adjusting the pattern. The bowtie is made from black and green Perler beads and is glued to a brooch back so he can pin it anywhere he chooses {the kid is a serial accessoriser}.
