I have two boys (ages 4 & 6) and once you get out of the baby/toddler stage, it is really tricky to find anything to make for them, so this book looks great. Thank you for your detailed review - - sounds like I might need to make my mom sit with me to figure some of the patterns out, but I'd love to give them a try. :)

Just diving into sewing for my little man, and I love it! Although my daughter has mocked me for making a couple of "girl" shirts for him I am ready to make some "boy" clothing for her too ;) templanza at aol dot com
Just this weekend while rummaging through clearance summer clothes at Target I thought to myself, "it is time that I finally start sewing more of my twin boys wardrobe"! I made some simple pants and shirts for them when they were infants, and I have enjoyed making the 90 minutes shirt and the Forth of July shorts posted on your blog! This book would be great inspiration for more ideas. Plus, there is nothing like having a great book in your own library!
I love this blog!

Hey_Jude2010 (at) yahoo (dot) com
OK. Other than appliqueing shirts, I'm totally intimidated by boy sewing (despite being the only girl in my family...) I would love this book, and hopefully it would give me motivation to sew actual clothes for my boys.
While I don't have my own little boy (yet) there are several in my life that I would so sew more things for.
I am already a huge fan of Figgy's!
