A Dress To Get Fat In

I decided since I'm 4 1/2 months along it's time to start sewing maternity clothes.  I made this dress in just a few short hours out of super comfy bamboo jersey knit, and I really like how it turned out.  And it has lots of room for growth!!

Cute dress I wish we lived close so you could teach me sewing lessons!! Why don;t you make one for me, you would have to make it bigger though cause I am showing and you are not. That is so lucky. I miss that about the first pregnancy wait till number three!!

Hey there-
So it's been a while since I allowed myself to blog hop :) I think that you had just postd the valenties cards last time I checked your site. So fun to hear you are haivng a BOY!! they are absolutely a BLAST!! I love having them!! We are due June 12th BOY!!
Butterick has a realy great spring dress pattern for maternity that is also great as a nursing dress I just finished it 2 days ago and can't wait to wear it! Let me know and I'll sendyou the numbers JOANNS had the patterns for a steal and I grabbed it on a whim. LOVE IT!!

BY the way... you start showing sooner and sooner with each baby that about the only connection between everyones pregnancies that I have ever heard of :) so enjoy the non-prego-prego life :) baby 3 popped out at 10 weeks whene as baby #1 was 6months+ before people dared ask if they didn't know for sure(for me...) This time I feel like I've been huge for 10 months already!! 9 weeks togo!
