I did look pregnant during my pregnacy but it was quite a small bump throughout due to low amniotic fluid. I am gearing up to share my tovas, just having photographing problems.

Anticipating it will be featured in MMM! I'm definitely with you on the making-same-pattern-over-and-over-again (I've got about 4 Sorbettos, another in the works, and another couple dresses/blouses based off a similar sloper pattern, ha!) I'm with Sigrid, if it works, then go with it! That said, trying out more fitted tops could be fun :-). MMM as the perfect excuse to try one out? Curious to see your post on your Tovas - like you, I've also made 2, as of yet unblogged, Tovas. Are yours in prints? I can imagine you looking very stylish in them :-). I always feel slightly pregnant when I wear them, and find that I don't really care! Hehehe. My dad called them, "Very retro. Oh yes, your mom used to have clothes like that." And then he wondered why I looked so confused! I'm tempted to try it, sleeveless, ankle length, in rayon, as a modified take on those maxidresses we see everywhere. Wonder if the drape of the rayon and the weight of the full-length dress would counter the slight pregnancy poof ... or not! Here's to more experimentation ...jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14891339427334605978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734647753243402553.post-76932127269493062812013-04-23T00:24:13.843+11:302013-04-23T00:24:13.843+11:30I secretly was dreaming of taking part on this yea...I secretly was dreaming of taking part on this years me made may, but no such luck. I have not find a pattern that would work for me - or maybe better said that I could make work for me. If I ever will find one I would probably make it over and over again.Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06468814408010560561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734647753243402553.post-25477421313575245852013-04-22T23:17:33.958+11:302013-04-22T23:17:33.958+11:30What a great post - it really is a good idea to go...What a great post - it really is a good idea to go thorugh your wardrobe once in a while, now voluntarily or not;-). I think you look great in the styles of clothing you wear, but you know I am with you on trying something new once in a while! :-) Looking forward to seeing your new (and old) makes in MMM!

And I never thought they made you look preggers either!!

I find I gravitate towards sewing what I like rather than what I need, and have to deliberately steer myself away from just making more of the same. I hear you about fit, though. It's so nice to sew things with a loose, forgiving fit instead of wrestling with adjustments and muslins. :/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734647753243402553.post-20390536190790153812013-04-21T08:45:26.020+11:302013-04-21T08:45:26.020+11:30I can understand that you might want to try a diff...I can understand that you might want to try a different look, but if you you feel comfortable with, it can be your unique style, no? I often find myself returning to my favorite clothes because I just feel comfortable and thus more confident in them. And anyway, even when you were pregnant, I didn't think you looked preggers in them. Anyway, I look forward to seeing your me made may and those Tova tops!Sigridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946180982433360417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734647753243402553.post-30468528362229490542013-04-20T08:58:41.968+11:302013-04-20T08:58:41.968+11:30Btw like the new blog header! :)Btw like the new blog header! :)Philippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979470577235630724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734647753243402553.post-3759195331800952202013-04-20T08:57:41.205+11:302013-04-20T08:57:41.205+11:30Well, I love all your woven tops - so versatile in...Well, I love all your woven tops - so versatile in our climate - and the fabrics are very pretty. Although truth be told you do have quite a few! (I have maybe 4 tops for MMM so far, feeling a little scared!) I have also seen the Sew Liberated pattern & am toying with the idea as am somewhat worried about making full on jeans with waistband, belt loops n all - not sure my machine will take it! If you make them I hope you will post about them. I will look forward to seeing your outfits in May, too.Philippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979470577235630724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734647753243402553.post-53935086144814621652013-04-20T06:46:48.172+11:302013-04-20T06:46:48.172+11:30I know what you mean about making similar clothes,...I know what you mean about making similar clothes, I do it because they are all labelled easy!
