I went to Joann's for some patterns that were on sale this weekend. I got a few shirt patterns for me, a dress pattern for E, a Wizard of Oz pattern set for E, and a maternity skirt/shirt/dress pattern. I am really needing some cute shirts, but I'm having zero luck finding anything in the stores. And I can't spend $20 on a shirt when I'm not pregnant. No chance on doing that now. I just can't when there are such deals to be had at thrift stores. Anyways, the shirt patterns are just too much detail for me. I'm a simple girl when it comes to sewing. Shirts have 18 different pieces to them. I don't have patience for that. So, I'm going to make some skirts (much easier) and just buy a bunch of solid tanks and tees to go with them. I might try to make a few dresses, but we'll see. :)
These are the patterns for the skirts and the dress:
Hip Skirts pattern by Favorite Things. Dress pattern from Kwik Sew #3486:
Wrap skirt pattern from Make It Perfect:
Maternity pattern from Simplicity #4704: (I will likely just use the knit skirt pattern from this.)
And then I'll get a bunch of solid tees and tanks from American Apparel. Hopefully it works okay. :) I have a wholesale account with them, so I get a huge discount. I just can't pay full price!

I love the wrap skirt pattern!
DUDE! so cute! Hopefully I'll get pregnant again someday and can skive off of you. ;) or pay you to make me something adorable.
very nice! the dress looks perfect...i have been sewing a lot lately. it is so satisfying.
i always see so much cute maternity stuff at the goodwill when i'm NOT pregnant of course--and it's always mixed in with the normal clothes instead of being in its own designated maternity section.
you will be one cute full-belly mama this summer!
