Attention Melb, Syd and Adelaidians - @susankhalje is BACK early next year - classes are up on her website!!! I’m massively 😭😭😭 and FOMOing, and will likely drop in to each Melb class to say hi and to drool over y’all shoulders with bubs in tow. Book now, lest you miss out!

Rocking out with new hair in my @grainlinestudio #morrisblazer - fabric bought last pregnancy, finished this pregnancy with just 6 weeks left of work to go 😆 A good little pattern that I made significant adjustments to - new two-piece sleeves, new armscye location, added shaping, extra boob room and more Couture techniques than I really needed to add, considering I started this as a ‘just a quick and dirty sew’ so I can have something to wear 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ apparently I just can’t help myself. Dress is by @isabellaoliver - whose maternity knits I live and swear by. If only we could BUY knit fabric this good, is all I’m sayin’.

Sewcation Status: Pig in Mud Halfway through @closetcase.patterns #carolynpajamas in Nani Iro double gauze, to match the bias cami I made under @tatyana_design tutelage. The double gauze is shifty AF, but super soft, they should be amazing to wear (once I acquire the right width elastic..) Next - onto the matching pj top!
