Project Maternity: Cloudy Maternity Top Refashion

 SUC54690

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,

  2. Super 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. :)

  3. Cute 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!
