Sew Crafty Saturday!







Sew Crafty Saturday will not take the place of my usual blog updates on our family. I just wanted to share a project with you all that I did a few weeks ago. I made a denim jumper out of some very inexpensive denim fabric I bought from Jo-ann's. I had intended to make a maternity skirt with it but after looking at some of my jumpers I figured I'd be better off making a jumper, but I didn't want all of them looking alike. I created a new pattern to make a pleated front instead of the "A" front like most of my jumpers for maternity are. I also used some scrap check fabric that was originally used for a pair of curtains for my kitchen to finish the sleeve holes and the neckline. When it was apparent there would be lots of it left I decided to make the back ties out the same checked fabric. Once I had my pattern created and my fabrics all cut out it only took me about 45 minutes to put it together. I love the finished product! I might even wear this one after the baby! LOL!! Here are the pictures of the finished product. Thank you Abby for taking these pictures!!
