so, I'm in the fabric store and on the web and all the CUTEST patterns are
cotton wovens, of course. I occasoinally find a nice flannel print.
What boys clothes can I make with this stuff? I'm probably not ready to
make a collared shirt. That looks hard.

I used to make boxer shorts and pyjama bottoms for my boys from woven
cotton prints.

you're lucky he's still a toddler & there are a few patterns
around. wait until he's in regular boy sizes & there's nothing
but girl patterns.
but, you can make pullover tunic shirts from wovens, like a T
tunic, or "hippie" shirt (fold in half lengthwise, fold in
half again widthwise. cut out an oval & slit for the head
(center the slit front or back). cut the arms & body like a
half T. unfold, face the neck opening, sew the sides, hem.
done. you can add a standup collar if you like). you can make
pull-on pants. you can use a jeans type pattern & make flannel
lined pants using the cute print as the outer fabric (but
these don't hold up well to hard play).

I didn't know it was supposed to be hard so one of my first projects was
a long-sleeved shirt button up shirt with a collar and cuffs. I made it
up in a soft cotton with a sort of white-on-white chevron texturing, and
I found mother-of-pearl buttons engraved with a similar pattern. It was
such a thrill to have sleeves that were long enough.
You could do a set of scrubs for Monk. You'll find lots of cute stuff
in the Costume section of the pattern books.
You could sew up a few simple outfits for playing dress-ups with
friends. Capes, tunics, vests, hats, stuff that won't be outgrown in 3
months. I always had a variety of stuff in there, not all frou-frou
princess stuff, so that my daughter's male friends had an alternative to
barbie drag.
My son and his friends played dress-up, tossing aside the frills,
digging for the motocross pants and helmets, or the Indiana Jones hat
and vest.
Except there was this one boy who always grabbed this light blue sheer
chiffon peignoir (sp?) and tied it around his neck. I was a little
surprised that the other boys didn't razz him about it. Later on when
he added a pointy hat and a sword to his ensemble I realized that he was
being a wizard.
