    Default Sewing Some Maternity Dresses for Myself

    I haven't been quilting much lately. I have kind of been playing around with dressmaking and using different fibers and fabrics for dresses for myself. After three back to back pregnancies, I really wanted to spruce up my wardrobe for this pregnancy and postpartum. Most of these dresses have a conceal nursing opening. I wear an elastic belt over the baby bump and I think it looks really cute. The green and red one is my Christmas dress.

    I, too, made maternity dresses and then my sister-in-law wore them. Recently I was digging through a box of fabric and found a piece of fabric left over from one of those dresses!!! Memories! Best wishes on your pregnancy.

    Those are precious! I especially like the sunflower dress and the Christmas dress. Does the sunflower dress have pockets?
