Spring sewing
To jump back into sewing after nearly three months of being away from my sewing machine, I started out with this simple project, Butterick 4685. I normally shy away from overly trendy tops (especially the "maternity" look of late) but I decided to throw caution to the wind and make view D. The fabric, a buttery cotton with tiny green polka dots, was 80 cents at Goodwill, and the mismatched green buttons down the front are from my mom's stash. Very spring-ish, eh?
And if I poof the top just right, from the side I could pass for five months pregnant. ;-)

Oh yes, very spring-ish! :) I like it very much!
It's lovely. I tell you, the maternity-looking fashion right now is GREAT for those of us who actually are pregnant! Instead of having to shop at overpriced, often ugly, maternity clothing shops, I can just go wherever I want. It's pretty funny, actually. I have to agree about usually not going for the overly trendly tops, though. Baby bellies cause one to expand one's wardrobe, though!
Very cute! The buttons add the perfect touch, and you just can't beat the price (or the look!) of the fabric.
Yours in Christ,
