    Looks like you’ve thought of everything a little boy needs in a shirt, especially the large treasure pockets! What cute little piggies. I’ve never seen lined raglan shoulders before, what type of fabric do you use for comfort? I too love snap openings on my blouses!

    Thanks, ladies!

    Linda, I just use a softer cotton woven, but I’m sure a jersey would be softer….just too warm for springtime.
