Hello Baby! AKA My Brain is Mush

Welcome to the not exactly new era of The Sometimes Sewist, which is full of fabric, forgetfulness, and fun.  Since I last wrote, exactly FIVE months ago, life has really been happening.

I had another baby!

Our first baby turned THREE.

Whoa!

I have been back to work for a month now.

Time.  It flies. *flap flap*

One for Mama, Two for Baby Girl

Heeey guys!  Today I’m sharing a versatile make for myself, and a sweet little set for the wee lass that we’re still waiting to meet.  Let’s start with my look!

This is Deer & Doe’s Aubepine, or as I discovered via Google Translator means Hawthorn in English.  Also very important: IT HAS POCKETS!

The Birthday Dress!

…OK and it was also my Christmas dress.  ‘Cause preggo don’t need two fancy dresses (this is the Midwest after all).

I’m a little late on posting this.  JUST A TAD.  Took these photos on my birthday, which was FOUR weeks ago.  The bump seemed giant then and continues on its quest for world domination.

World. Domination.

Capes R’ Us

Heyyyy!  How’s it shakin’?  I’ve been sewing some, but mostly still just sleepin’ on ma couch.  Have a couple of other makes done and ready to share, but wanted to get this one out first!

Ma’s Birthday Gift

So, my mom’s birthday was almost a month ago.  I originally gifted her this bag in pieces in a ziplock bag, which she was not surprised at all about:  this has been a demi tradition of mine.  Sometimes DIY doesn’t go as fast as you hope it will.

But, I finally finished it a couple of weeks ago!  It’s the Blue Calla Patterns Iris Convertible Shoulder Bag:

I’ve also submitted it to Pattern Review’s Handbag contest, and voting begins today.  If you like my bag, I would really appreciate your vote!
