The Room to Grow top

I love this top soooo much! The second I had the idea for it I got really excited – but to be honest, it turned out even better than I’d hoped! It even looks this cute when you’re not pregnant, which in my book is a total plus!

Maternity dress trousers by Ann of Sew Paradise

Hi everyone! I’m Ann from Sew Paradise and I’m a big fan of Megan Nielsen’s maternity & nursing patterns. I’m geeked she said she’d post my tute about DIY maternity dress trousers here. Most working moms need a professional wardrobe, and even a SAHMama needs a rockin’ pair of something other than jeans. These easy maternity dress trousers are inexpensively made from thrifted regular trousers, have a super comfy stretch fabric waistband that curves to snug your belly. I’m a big fan of purpose-suited clothing, so I loved sewing during both of my pregnancies. The top is Megan Nielsen’s Pina Nursing & Maternity top with long sleeves which works wonderfully after your baby is born as a nursing top – my 10-month old loves it!

The Turn About the Room dress, with Miriam of Mad Mim

Hey everybody! I’m pretty excited to visit DIY maternity today and to share with you this fun little dress.  If there’s one thing that really rocks my world, it’s making my own clothing, and this time round the 9 month stretch (it’s my third round), it’s been nothing but a big belly and big fun.  One of my favorite things to do is go shopping for ideas around the internet, and then recreate something fabulous for cheapo. I spied this beauty a few weeks ago and thought it would make a great dress.

It did!
