This is the Briar tee from Megan Nielsen. It is a great sewing pattern for first time knit sewist (like me). This top is actually a repurposed maternity skirt I made when pregnant with baby G. I added leather patches at the shoulder and have just loved the top. It has a high low hem which is great to cover the back of your pants as you bend to help little ones. I have made two other Briars one which is pictured with the Cascade skirt from Megan Nielsen.
I struggled to get a good picture of this skirt and these were the two best shots. It is kinda awkward to take pictures of yourself for these posts. I love this skirt because of the flowy nature of it and how feminine it feels. It is made from rayon challis. The Briar tee in this picture is made from some poly/cotton jersey from Hancocks and it was very affordable. I was skeptical about the quality but it has held up well.
And finally for the Grandparents here are a few shots of the kiddos.
AJ with Micah in the rain!
AJ made this crown of jewels and I cut it out and taped it together for her. She wore it to church on Sunday with a dress I made her. She has developed specific opinions about her handmade clothes these days so needless to say my tastes in children's clothes have been shelved for the time being.
This dress is the appropriate colors and design for her aesthetic, pink and floral! You gotta go with what works, right!?
And finally some quiet sister time looking out the window, but no illusions here it lasted probably all of two minutes! Kiddos on the go!
Love your tops and the skirt.. Look so good on you. Happy sewing.. Hope all is feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you! and thanks for reading the post! We are all 100% today which is good! I ventured over to your blog yesterday and it looks like you have lots of projects going on!
DeletePoor sick babies! So sorry y'all r feeling yucky. The skirt and tops are great! What I love is that you repurpose something that has served it's purpose and turn it in to something so cute! Aj and dad are so cute playing in the rain. Love the back shot of the girls. That would be adorable framed :) have a wonderful day and love to all, holly
ReplyDeleteThank you! Well that maternity skirt was pret-ty big and it needed to be turned into something different! You may have given me a great idea for fathers day!
DeleteSo sorry your kiddos have been sick, I know that is hard! Your Briars look great, I like the leather patches a lot! And your Cascade is lovely :) I am getting more used to taking pictures but I still feel like a weirdo when people see me doing it, haha.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly, at some point the sleep deprivation just becomes part of life! The briars have quickly become a go to shirt for almost every other day! I love the leather too and hope to do another one with leather when I can find appropriate fabric. Also the picture taking feels strange b/c my husband has to take them and I know our neighbors watch everything we do from their windows, small town and all!
