Holiday Gift Guide for the Guys

I thought it would be really fun to put together a couple of gift guide for the guys with the Negroni pattern, of course! The shirt would work so well in a flannel or wool blend for the winter. What kind of fabric would use for a winter Negroni?

Oh Caitlin, you are reading my mind — I’ve just started a black & white flannel check Negroni! (And my partner already owns a nearly identical grey wool coat.) I love these style boards… all of them, really, but this one is totally my guy’s taste.

I was just thinking about this pattern the other day. Love the way you put together two different looks/styles. I think the waterproof notebook would also be perfect for my husband. :)

I think I am going to have to buy this pattern b/c DH loves the double pockets and they are SO hard to find in RTW,, We have looked all over for them~
he would love this in a soft flannel,,,,Since DH is Italian he looks great in sage,,,,,so I would make this shirt up in sage flannel,,,a very good flannel that could stand the test of time ( or of DH!) Maybe I will have time to make one up , am finishing a shetland fair isle vest for him for Christmas this year~(very vintage yet very classic)

I read this blog every day. I got a little added bonus – the perfect present for my boyfriend’s dad! He’s an avid outdoorsman and boy scout leader, so I bought the waterproof firestarter as soon as I saw it here! I didn’t expect to find a gift for him on one of my favorite sewing blogs, but you sure came through for me :) Thanks!
