Patchwork Pillow
I am so excited that I finished my first sewing project since Lucy was born. I have lost a lot of weight since she was born and really want to sew myself some clothes. I told myself I needed to finish the projects I already have started before I can do anything for myself. Two [...]
Mei Tai
I said it would never happen, but it did. Yesterday after seeing pictures a pregnant blogger posted, I found myself missing my big pregnant belly. I was so sure throughout my entire pregnancy, and ever since giving birth that I would not miss it once it was gone, but I did. For a brief moment [...]
Baby Doll Bath
I want to say a big thank you to all you before I begin today’s post….just in case a baby comes and I forget later! I really feel so lucky to have so many amazing readers, this pregnancy has been real proof of that. Everyone’s kind words, advice, and personal stories have really made the [...]
Crib Quilt
The quilt is finished! It feels so good to finally cross something off my baby to-do list. Russ and I went and picked out this blue/green fabric for the back of the quilt over the weekend. It took a little more work to decide on the color of bias tape to use around the edge. [...]
Quilting and Getting Things Done
I have made quite a bit of progress on the crib quilt so far. I have all the squares sewn together, and need to go shopping for a fabric for the opposite side. The quilt is 32”x52”. I think it will be an appropriate size for the crib, which is about 27”x52”. Now that I [...]

Vintage Blue Baby Dress
As soon as we found out we were having a baby girl the maternity sewing was forgotten. I picked up some darling baby patterns on sale at the fabric store and have been using vintage fabric to make our little girl some darling clothes. I sewed this little dress and bonnet the weekend after we [...]
Gingham Maternity Top
Thank you everyone for all your nice messages after yesterday’s post. I really appreciate all the nice things you have to say and your words of advice. As many of you suggested I plan on looking for another doctor. This doctor was not who will be delivering the baby–but filled in for him because my [...]
First Maternity Outfit Finished!
I finished up my first maternity outfit last week, and am just now getting around to posting pictures of it. As I am just a week shy of four months along, I am currently swimming in the top, and have yet to wear it out of the house. I know though in another month or [...]
Black Gingham
I have been hard at work sewing. I finished the pants I had been working on, and just need to fix the top that you all were so gracious enough to give me some words of advice on. My first vintage maternity outfit is wrapping up and the second is already under way. This black [...]
