Hospital Bag Packing List Printable
Packing the hospital bag is always one of my favorite baby activities. It's just so exciting thinking about when and where you might be when you GO INTO LABOR!

I guess for me the anticipation of a new baby is manifested best in all the ...Continue Reading

Soho Maternity
Today I'm finally sharing a maternity version of the Soho Blouse! This top is so flowy that it lends itself well to maternity wear! I love flowy tops as a general rule (pregnant or not) so that's why I designed the Soho Blouse in the first place! I didn't modify the width of the blouse at all for this, but I did add 3" to the hem. I used the angled hem option, so I added the length the exact same way as I did in the Manhattan Dress tutorial. The extra length isn't necessary for it to fit as maternity wear, but depending on how you carry you ...Continue Reading
Modern Granny Square Quilted Pillow Cover Tutorial
I made this pretty pillow with the leftover fabric from my Modern Granny Square Quilt. The quilt is a cheater quilt, meaning the fabric is just printed with a quilty pattern, instead of being pieced together. (i.e. it is super fast and equally pretty as a real quilt!) So this pillow is also a cheater pillow! Since it's quilted with batting in between it's super nice and soft to lay on!
