Hello dear folks!! It has been a little while, so I thought I'd share a little sewing (and life) update.......
So, what have I been working on??
Maternity dresses!!!! Hubby and I are thrilled to be welcoming our baby girl in early November <3. We're so thankful for the gift of life, and are so excited to meet our girl after what has been a whirlwind of a year!
Oh, about the dress....Butterick 6485, modified rather heavily to adapt it to maternity wear. So comfy, adjustable with ties, and nursing friendly for post-pregnancy wear!
A little less vintage but the most comfortable style, my favorite jumper, pattern courtesy of my best sis Sarah!! I would honestly just make nothing but these jumpers for maternity wear; they're effortlessly comfy, and I love that they are layered with a tee or blouse beneath, as it allows you to get a couple of days' wear between washings. This one is made from one of my favorite vintage repro prints, and I'm very happy there is enough leftover to make Baby Girl a dress in the spring!!
I've been working on Baby's sewing since getting some maternity clothes made, and it is so much fun!!! Shown here, a 40s style dress made of vintage flannel, with a coordinating flannel blanket. I also have been knitting on a couple of bonnets for her and I can't handle the cuteness! :)
This little number was made from scraps from a 40s blouse I have, so Baby and I can match early on....
Detail of the dresses....
I've also been working on burp cloths, bibs, paci clips, a quilt for Baby, a quilt for my hubby, and an assortment of different projects. I've almost finished the baby sewing for the time being, and am looking forward to starting on Christmas sewing soon!!
I hope you are all having a lovely summer! Thanks for stopping by!!
