Hi everybody! Welcome to Project Maternity week. Most of my ideas are just pictures of projects I’ve done, but I will be sharing a tutorial Wednesday that is probably my favorite refashion I’ve EVER done. AND it’s not just for maternity wear. Sweet! :)
This is my first maternity project I did. I bought a Target long sleeved T two sizes up from what I normally wear. I ruched the sides using this tutorial as a guide. I also added this cloud applique in gray. I got the cloud template here, and then added some bumps to the bottom of the cloud. Then I added two layers of white knit, and sewed around the outline a few times. Then I cut between the lines, and it gave it some great texture. If you need more info on this, check out this tutorial for a different shirt by I Am Momma Hear Me Roar. It’s originally where I learned the technique that I love using every now and then!
Here’s a shot of the whole shirt. I’m sorry it’s so blurry, I didn’t notice that when taking the pictures! Please excuse the spot on my 27 week belly. I’m always spilling stuff on the babe. And yesterday, I forgot he was there and opened the door a little too close to my body and whacked my child! He was sitting right where the door hit too! Ouch for both of us. I laughed it off, and am giving myself a little more room to get through doorways! :)
Tomorrow I will show you how I made maternity pants on the cheap!
Thanks for reading,

very cute cloud =)
ReplyDeleteThis turned out really adorable!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! When I'm not preggo I always think, "Oh, that will be so fun to make when I'm preggo," and then by the time I get there, it's just SO MUCH EASIER to just go buy something. Ha! So I'm impressed! Plus, of course, it turned out so great. :)
ReplyDeleteCute idea. I told my sister I'd make a few things for her to wear while she's preggo, and this would be great! Your belly is so cute! I am so excited for you! Love ya!
