Day 3 of KCWC and I am cheating already.  I'm only supposed to be using Japanese patterns but when I came across some gorgeous oatmeal and navy striped knit I knew I had to make it up using the Sailboat Top by O and S.

Martin's turning 3 tomorrow and we are celebrating with a pirate party. This shirt is a little more Breton than pirate but it's definitely wearable.  
I do love O and S patterns. They sew up so beautifully and the finished product  is always spot on.  I top stitched using  triple stitch and a dark thread (always risky).  It's a little wonky but hey... it adds character.

In the interest of keeping things even I am sewing for Lizzy tomorrow.  I've got to say I am not feeling super inspired.   I'm a bit over sewing pink dresses.  If only she'd wear something else! Any ideas?

Caroline

PS  - Happy Birthday Martin!  How are you three already my gorgeous boy?

Im a huge O+s fan too as I think you know. I haven't got this pattern but keep seeing lovely versions of it made up, of which yours is one.
Happy birthday to your little guy Caroline, it's sort of sad how fast they grow up.
