This is an exciting post for me.
I've often struggled with dressing in a somewhat stylish fashion...
And, then in comes, 'Momiform MAKEover.'
My plan was to make somewhat of a wardrobe that was stylish, yet comfy.
I want to look put-together at home, while I take care of my rambunctious brood,
and when I head out to town with them in tow!
Here I am with my 'Mom-mobile,' all ready to go.
The flattering gather in the bodice takes it from being just another knit dress to being something fun and stylish.
The Buckle Me Up Beauty is sewn in a brown twill type fabric from my stash with a cotton lining from my local-ish Fabricland, with hardware from
Emmaline Bags.
This is the small version, which is great if you're out without the kids...no diaper bag...yay!
I couldn't keep it at one...
(Can you tell I really like that shop!)
The yoga waistband and the fitted skirt make for a super comfortable, yet stylish look.
And, the top is sewn from a very drapey knit from Fabricland.
I sewed the top with the higher neckline, and I love how it turned out.
It's modest, yet stylish--perfect for running after kids!
Plus, the asymmetrical style with the pleated side takes it up a notch from being a plain old shirt.
The pattern is easy to follow, and the fit is spot on.
Yes, two wasn't enough either...
Here is number three!
The Kinaco Skirt is sewn with a drapey grey fabric that I have absolutely no idea what it is.
It is a thrift shop purchase, but I love the softness and how ideal it is for fall!
The skirt's design is really neat--I really like the asymmetrical design and the fit is spot on.
For the lining, I used the same knit I used for the shirt--it is super soft and comfortable!
The Women's Cowl Neck Tee is sewn with a nice eggplant colored knit that I bought through a Canadian destash group on Facebook.
The shirt is comfortable, yet flattering. And, again...it's not just a plain t-shirt!
It is a super fast sew with an elegant cowl and an optional banded hem.
Also, the sleeves are a nice fluttery sleeve instead of the 'normal' tighter sleeve, which is a neat feature.
The Buckle Me UP Beauty is sewn with quilting cotton from Walmart and the accents are Essex linen from Fabric.com. Again, hardware is from Emmaline Bags. It's definitely large enough to be a diaper bag, for which I'm super excited--now I can have a stylish diaper bag as well for taking the kids out and about.
