You may have noticed a recent dearth of sewing for myself lately, although I've been catching up on much promised hubby and kiddo sewing. I had been going great guns working on my summer 6PAC. In fact, I have actually finished four of the seven pieces.
Then I hit a bit of a snag, you might say. I have patterns, fabric, notions, even time and desire. Unfortunately, due to a temporary medical condition, my waistline seems to have disappeared... Don't worry - it'll be back! But in the meantime, it looks like my summer wardrobe will need to have lots of elastic and by winter, well let's just say it's a good thing that Burda's June issue had a maternity section. I'll be needing it.
In light of this new development, I'm going to put the
white Simplicity top and the
Colette dress on the backburner. I think the
Vogue jacket will actually still be quite useful, since it is cropped and unfitted. This is my first non-summer pregnancy, so I'll be needing a jacket. I'm also excited about sewing a maternity coat, and how convenient that the June Burda has
a great one!
I have some lightweight wool (all I'll need for December in Texas) in a pretty baby blue and wouldn't it be cute to line it in pink? Although I have a good collection of maternity clothes from my first two pregnancies, I will need some more colder weather appropriate things, so there will be some sewing along those lines, and naturally baby sewing. Once we know pink or blue that is.
For those of you who may crave details, I am currently 12 weeks along (Why has my waistline already gone???), and the wee one will be due December 31. And yes, we're really excited!!
