  • Gray and Coral Print 1930s Dress

    I finally got pictures and can share my first sewing project since the baby arrived! It took closer to 3 weeks to complete, rather than the 3-4 days I was used to when I could sew at leisure instead of… Continue reading

  • Late 1930s Maternity Dress Revisited

    My 4th of July maternity dress this summer proved to by my favorite maternity dress. It was comfortable and more flattering than other patterns I tried. I was curious, however, to see how well it would work after pregnancy, since… Continue reading

  • Sewing Plans & Eagerness

    Since Davy's birth, I have been itching to get back to sewing (not that I have a lot of time to sew now…). I sorted through my closet, taking the opportunity both to switch out my summer clothes for fall/winter… Continue reading

    This year a 4th of July dress just happened when I already wanted to do a trial of a late '30s/early '40s maternity dress pattern, and had some blue and white gingham cotton with tiny red flowers already in my… Continue reading
