Y'all, I sewed clothing that I am proud to wear in public!
But wait, maternity, you say? Yes, baby number 3 is on the way. I'm just about halfway right now. We found out right after Christmas, and I've pretty much been a couch sloth ever since. Easter, however, is a special day, so I forced myself down to the sewing cave and made this.
The pattern is Megan Nielsen's Cara Maternity Tee, which I lengthened into a dress. I made a muslin for the first time ever and did a forward shoulder alteration. And it worked! My family and coworkers thought I bought it! And I was not self-conscious in it at all.
I actually cut and sewed it up in two hours on Easter morning (the muslin and pattern alteration was done beforehand). So it is a fast sew. The fabric is Art Gallery knit from the Skopelos collection. I was a little worried when I first held the fabric up against myself, but it works great when sewn into an actual shape.
