Spring Dress Robe

 After I had my baby I kept seeing these glorious newborn photo shoots where the mother looks dewy, glamorous, and triumphant and I wanted to have photos like that too! In all of them, the mom is wearing a fancy, kimono-like robe and I decided I needed one.

I looked online and found an awesome free pattern from SewBon here.

Thankfully I had saved this beautiful rayon that Rochelle gave me in a giveaway years ago! So I made this beautiful, breezy robe for nothing! The cheapskate in me is beyond happy!

 

 I'm adding this post to Allie's Spring Shower's Social Sew because it is flowery and perfect to wear in the spring! And isn't my baby just perfect too? Well, I think so. He was talking to me the whole time. Giving me tips probably! ;)

Post Pregnancy Life

I really should be napping but I have written this post in my head so many times I need to actually write it! My sweet baby is here and we all feel very blessed. 

I haven't done much sewing however the little bit I have I want to share!

I made this hospital gown from fabric my aunt gave to me. I loved having something unique and comfortable to wear while I was there.

I knew I might run out of time to make a blessing outfit so I made sure to get it done before my baby was born. It's actually kind of exciting to make an outfit for a boy!

(Baby and I right before we left for home!)

Another reason I did not sew a lot- freezer meals. All my extra time I used making these. I made about 40 of them and it was well worth it! It's the best present I could've given myself.
