wish i could say this was my original idea, but it wasn't. i saw this on a blog and had to try it. well, had to have my mother in law try it. i don't even own a sewing machine, but i knew she would be able to help me out. and i am glad to say it was pretty easy and i love the way it turned out. i am having a hard time buying maternity close, but who doesn't. (if you didn't please tell me where you got your cute clothes.) i can find pants ok, but am having a hard time with shirts. i am short and all the maternity shirts are long, oh so long and they make me look even shorter. i also don't like the "tent" look. you know what i am talking about. i had seen this type of shirt at a store, but didn't want to pay that much for one shirt so i headed over to the ladies department and bought a normal shirt just two sizes larger, and then sewed an elastic in the side seam. i should be able to wear it for a while, i am hoping anyway not to get that big that fast.
