Honest.
The tutorial will be posted here over the next few weeks, but I am not that patient. I wanted to wear mine today. So I had to wing it. I am sure it would have turned out better/been easier if I had waited for all of the instructions first. Oh well.
I used a remnant of fabric marked as "linen" from my favorite fabric store (Sally's for all you locals - they have the best service, a ton of fabric, and they take Joann's coupons!). It has some stretch in it, which is ideal for maternity wear, of course, but I don't think it is really linen. After I washed it, it ended up kind of crinkly, which I love. Plus, since it was a remnant, it only cost $1.73. Score. The only problem was that I didn't have the full 3 yards the tutorial called for. So I had to make do with what I had.
If you happen to see me out and about in the next little bit, chances are, I'll be wearing this shirt. It's that comfortable.
I think it would be super cute even if you weren't sporting a ginormous belly like me. You should make it.
And now we are headed to the park. Because this day is just too lovely to spend indoors.
Have a good weekend!

ReplyDeleteHave fun at the park!
That turned out so fantastic and looks great on you! I love the bow and detail around your neckline.
ReplyDeletegreat job! (and thanks for the shoutout) it looks like you did just fine without my tutorial. i am so glad that you like it as much as I like mine. i only wish i had made mine earlier in my pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed! You will look great at the park & all around town. Did I say how impressed I am?
ReplyDeleteYou look great- I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out super cute. I love your fabric choice.
ReplyDeleteToo Cute!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteStephanie, that's just plain adorable. I'd wear it lots too. And maybe make another? Could be a cute black linen dress a bit longer?
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable. So impressed by your sewing skills! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHow cute...
ReplyDeleteI cannot sew a button but I can admire your talent.

lovely. almost makes me want to be pregnant again. almost. would you consider doing a tutorial for the same blouse in a non-pregnant size? pretty, pretty please?! :D
ReplyDeleteI agree with Natalie.. could you let us all know how to do it in a non maternity size!
ReplyDeleteTotally cute on you too!
oo thats cute! i'm definitely going to attempt making one... it'll be so nice when its roasting this summer! and you look so cute!
ReplyDeleteDarling!! And I agree that a non-maternity version would be great!
ReplyDeletethat's so cute, steph, and the fact that you don't have to set in a sleeve is very attractive to beginner seamstresses like moi. you look so cute in pink!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty! I love the color.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly cute!!!
ReplyDeletecute!
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute pregnant - and as much as I wish I could make something like that - I don't think I have the chops.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you have to make everything looks so darn effortless.
You make me want to learn to sew... I guess that is a start. Good work, I would totally buy that in a store if I could.
Thanks for the link to this dress. My mom winged it too and made it for me yesterday! (Her sewing skills are FAR superior to mine) I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can wear it!
ReplyDelete! I love the bow and detail around your neckline.

I wish I had gotten on that back when they started the sew along. Now that I'm 36 weeks it seems kind of silly to put forth the effort when I could go any time!
ReplyDeleteI did, however, make the belt from the previous month. I love their sew alongs!
