For several pregnancies now, I’ve had a terrible secret! Each of these pregnancies were in the winter, but I didn’t have a maternity jacket. Well, I had one, but it didn’t fit my tall frame and mostly my long arms. I decided it was just better to be cold than to fight with sleeves thatContinue reading “Maternity Jacket Refashion”

Phoenix Blouse with 3 changes

Polar Bear Raglan T-shirts
If you guessed that I’m on a stash-busting, raglan t-shirt making, boy sewing streak, you’d be correct! So once again, I pulled out the Oliver+S Field Trip Raglan T-shirt pattern and got to work. Enter two polar bear raglan t-shirts. This time, there was just enough of the Birch Organics, super soft cotton knit fabricContinue reading “Polar Bear Raglan T-shirts”
Lion Hoodie from Narnia

The idea is to choose a multiplier and onlyContinue reading “Boy Raglans and Boy Antics”
