Bump 35 weeks and 3 days. It is getting harder and harder to take these photos myself! Look at her (and I!!) grow. Amazing what the body can handle. |
I wanted to do something special for the baby this week and I decided on sewing her a peasant dress. I have never sewed this pattern before and used this tutorial found here on Sew Much Ado. It worked out perfectly and I am more than happy at the results! Here are the supplies. |
Here is the finished dress! I fell in love with the Fabric from Michael Miller called, Groovy Guitar In Bloom, and had to make something from it. I found the sleeve fabric with matched perfectly at JoAnn Fabrics. |
Here is the proud Mama, sitting in the nursery. |
I can't believe her due date is in 32 more days!!! |
I can't wait to be holding you in my arms, baby girl. |
Love,
Mama Nic

That is adorable! I think it's one of my favorite that I've seen made so far, I love those fabrics! Good luck with your little one!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I had fun with this one and can't wait to see baby girl in it. :-)
DeleteYou’re baby girl will surely be delighted once she learns that her mom already made her a dress even before she came out. Why did you use a guitar-printed fabric? Do you have a feeling that she might be musically inclined? What’s her name, by the way? I can imagine her wearing that dress with a cute headband and a hearty smile. :) Jerri Washam
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks Jerri. She is a sweetheart and I would sew outfits all day long for her if I could. I picked the guitar fabric because our family loves music and it is just a super groovy fabric, don't ya think? I don't reveal my kids names on my blog but I refer to her as Chica. This pen name was giver to her due to her plump chunky cheeks were the first thing I noticed about her and the fact that she is my youngest.....so Chica seemed fitting. I will post a picture of her wearing the dress on the blog soon. :)
