Here I Go

It's amazing what a little R&R can do for your body. I am still kind of ambivalent about what to sew, but did decide on something. I plan on making Simplicity 3874, view B. I am going to A-line the skirt and make it longer (hide the wide calves). I also am going to lengthen the sleeves to 3/4 length. It is winter after all. I'll probably put in invisible zippers along both side seams so that I can use this dress for nursing after the baby is born. That is something I learned about when I was expecting Rachael.

The pattern calls for wovens but I plan on using this jersey knit that I bought several months ago from Fashionista Fabics. By the way, Melody has some great fabrics on sale right now and she ships way fast!


The girls are with their daddy this weekend, so I plan on at least trying to get the pattern ready and having a muslin made up before Monday morning. We'll see, after all I seem to be staying exhausted (that whole 1st trimester thing) and we have Pastor Appreciation tomorrow after Sunday School. I've got to cook something! Then we go into Revival for the next two weeks. Any sewing that I do will probably be done at a slow pace.

I wanted to show y'all this:

When I saw this I was amused. I was not amused, however, when I realized that the same child had also rearranged the tensions on my serger!
