First, I made an elephant shirt to go with a pair of pants I bought last year. There are four things I love in pants for little boys:
1. seersucker stripes
2. little all-over embroidered design
3. roll-up style that can be buttoned at various lengths
4. priced cheap on clearance
These adorable seersucker pants with embroidered elephants from Janie & Jack met all four criteria and I had to buy them. Of course, without a shirt, the pants are useless, so I found a cute single color design where the elephant looked pretty similar to the ones on the pants. He wore the outfit to the zoo and looked pretty sharp.

I offered to make him a shirt for his birthday, and he and I spent an evening looking through designs. He liked lots of designs, but finally settled on one that said "Birthday Boy" with a cupcake. I searched through my scrap fabric and chose four colors that I thought would look nice together. After I made the shirt, I showed it to him and he told me that, "Those aren't the colors I was thinking about." Turns out that he wanted purple on it somewhere, but I didn't have any purple scrap fabric. This was a couple of days before his birthday, and by the time the big day rolled around, he had decided that he liked it after all.
