Fabric Mart Fabricistas

Hello my fabric loving friends!  I can't even believe it's almost August...where has this Summer gone? Today I bring you some Mama and Me goodness, sewn up from some delicious cotton voile.  Nothing says Summer dressing comfort quite like voile, right?  This particular print has sold out, but I'd mostly definitely have chosen this voile in its stead.

Long time no see!  Since I last wrote in March 2018 I gave birth to my second baby, a girl, and she's almost 10 months old now! Boy do I have a lot of makes to share with you today!  One for each of my four family members, representing 7 1/4 yards and 29 pearl snaps from KamSnaps.com.  I'd planned to only use the snaps for my own shirt, but then decided to work smarter, not harder, and used them on all of our shirts! I present to you:  Violette Field Threads Piper Baby , Ottobre 03/2018 #20 , Deer & Doe Bruyere and Kwik Sew 4075 .

Howdy! Jess here again.  Today I'm sharing a versatile make for myself, and a sweet little set for my daughter, who 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 translates to Hawthorn.  Also very important:  IT HAS POCKETS! I'm usually a 40-42 in Deer & Doe, but with 40+ extra pounds of baby, etc. opted for a 44, plus added a 1/2" full bust adjustment on each side (so, 1" total extra bust room) and am quite happy with the fit!  I also found the empire waist to cut me a little short, and the dart was also a bit too high, so I lengthened the bodice 1" above the dart and it hits in a great spot now. The thing that really drew me to this pattern was the easy, breezy style.  I'd actually had it prepped and ready to make during my last pregnancy but had never gotten around to it.  Glad I did this time!  Besides the FBA, I made no other alte...
