Isabel told me the other day that I was "THE BEST COOK IN THE WHOLE WORLD!" after I made Raman noodle soup for lunch. Umm, glad I can boil water.
When I went through the clothes in storage the other day I found cowboy boots for Sebastian. This immediately led to tears and wailing from Isabel because she's the only one without cowboy boots. I guess since we're moving to Texas, we should get her some, eh?
And this is my finished maternity dress. What do you think? Leo loves it. And I can wear my red shoes, so I'm happy.
It wasn't as simple as it looks because I had to make a ton of adjustments. See, these are my redrawn adjusted pattern pieces that I made.
Amazingly the adjustments all worked. I used this book as a guide. I highly recommend it. Here's the adjustments I made:
- Increased the bust to size 38.
- Added 2 1/2 inches to the bodice because I'm horribly long waisted (19 inches neck to waist measurement).
- Added a 1/2 inch to the shoulders since I'm broad shouldered too.
- Lowered the bust dart.
- Made a 1" FBA.
- Added 4" to the length of the skirt
- Changed the pointy 70's collar to more of a Peter Pan type collar.
