... sewing today! The kids (on their own accord, started their independent school work just after 7am this morning... crazy. Whose kids are these? They wanted to be done early today. I was sitting on the couch in the quiet of the morning reading Jesus Calling and my Bible, when they started trickling up the stairs. We usually start at 9:30am together at the table, after breakfast and chores, then they do their independent work after that. But today we were completely done with all of our work at 11:30am! A miracle.
So this afternoon is free for me while the babies are napping, and I was thinking it would be a challenge to fashion some new maternity shirts out of the material I already have in my fabric stash, which isn't much. I only buy fabric with a project in mind... but I had a change of heart with these ones and never ended up needing to make what I intended it for.
So this is what I have to work with in my fabric stash today:
I'll check back later in the week at some point to fill you in on my progress!

So this is what I have to work with in my fabric stash today:
An old pair of my jeans that I had saved for who knows what. I think I was going to make some doll jeans for the girls with them. And I think it'll be added to one of the shirts I'm making somehow...
Some apple green jersey knit (the color is much brighter in person) that I bought in an attempt to make my own moby wrap style baby carrier, but once I got the clearance fabric home, I realized it was too thin. So I'll attempt to make a wrap maternity shirt out of this one. And I'm looking for a sewing tutorial online to help with this one.
And this fabric was purchased last summer to go under a piece of glass I was going to use to cover a desk I refinished from a garage sale. But the desk looked great without the table topper, so I was left with this fun fabric. I think I'll work on this one first... I have a pattern that just might work.
I'll check back later in the week at some point to fill you in on my progress!
