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.

Vintage Pregnancy Dress

     

My poor neglected blog! It's been too long. I've been consumed with moving, then Christmas, and now the last home stretch before baby is born. Also, my kids refuse to let me type! But I must share that before I moved I took the time to sew a dress! 

 My original plan was to use this beautiful floral fabric, but then when I got around to sewing the dress, it just seemed too Spring-like. I wanted something warmer and my aunt just happened to give me some warm plaid fabric. I had to use it.

Someone pointed out to me that the plaid is in "Hufflepuff" colors! Every time I take a Hogwarts quiz I get sorted into "Hufflepuff", and it makes sense! As much as I'd like to be in "Gryffindor" or "Ravenclaw", I'm just not that. At least I'm not in "Slytherin"! ;)

 Vintage patterns can be challenging! This one had a lot of room for error but I'm pretty sure (even after I made a decent muslin!) I made the shoulders too small! It somehow still works for me though!

I was debating if I should include this very cheesy photo! It was around Christmas time, I had this adorable baby deer, and I wanted to copy Zooey Deschanel on her Christmas "She and Him" album. Yes, I'm a total goofball!
