I probably shouldn't have taken a picture wearing a white shirt against a white wall because it makes it really hard to see the actual bump ;) Nonetheless, there is my 20 week bump! We are getting closer to baby #4!
This morning, while Ben was at the gym, I re-fashioned these shorts from old maternity pants that I didn't really like, and the pink over shirt from a long sleeved maternity shirt that really didn't fit my belly anymore. Hey, it's our last baby! Might as well turn those outgrown maternity items into something I can wear one last time!
The shorts were a simple cut, double fold, and stitch for the hem. The shirt was made by cutting and re-hemming the sleeves, cutting the shirt down the middle and hemming, and adding light pink ribbons for tying the shirt just above my belly. Super simple and super cute...and FREE! I love being stylish and frugal ;)
I love it!! I have a pile of clothes I am going to repurpose. I got a pair of Lucky For All Mankind jeans from Marie. She has women's hips when I don't so much. I am going to attempt to make those skinny jeans for my boy hips! I'll let you know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how they turn out ;)
DeleteI need to figure out some inexpensive maternity shorts--as much as I'd like to, I just can't wear flowy dresses every day of summer! Thanks for the inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteI also found some super cute shorts at Ross this week! Nice and cheap and cute ;) I would love to get myself some flowy dresses, too, though!
DeleteOh you are so tiny and adorable!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shell. I swear I've had a smaller belly with each of my kids...so odd!
DeleteGood thinking on re purposing the other clothes !
