I hope we get to see the results of your birthday fabrics... :-)<br /><br />Lauren Christine, figuring out transitional pieces is definitely a challenge! I used to wear button-up blouses a lot (because I sewed wovens), but I now find them totally impractical for nursing. Hopefully I'll be mothering little ones for years to come, so I got rid of anything that doesn't work now. I do have one medium tub of mostly-thrifted-and-handmade maternity clothes, and I have some maxi skirts on my horizon...<br /><br />Janel, it's so funny that you mentioned Girl Charlee, because I just placed an order with them a few days ago! Their prices seem so reasonable (even cheaper than JoAnn's extremely limited selection with a 40% or 50% coupon). I can hardly wait to start sewing!<br /><br />Hey Christie, nice to meet you and thanks for stopping by! My best advice for starting out is to start simple and work your way up -- and don't be discouraged if your first projects don't come out perfectly! Experience is a great teacher. Also, here's a site with links to videos on various techniques (I haven't watched all of them, but they look pretty good): http://www.couturiermommy.com/p/beginners.html. There are TONS of tutorials and videos on every imaginable sewing topic, so that's a great way to explore -- if you come across a term or technique you're unfamiliar with, Google it! And if you ever have a specific question, I'd be happy to try to help you with it. <br /><br />Rachel, you are always so sweet and encouraging! Sales and thrift stores can be so hit-and-miss that sometimes I wish I could just buy everything brand-new. But I think I'd miss the thrill of the hunt, if you know what I mean. :-) I hope you're successful with your search for some new clothes!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Shannon<br />~ Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882650511821959701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278139998273750963.post-23175093410667402182013-06-22T15:22:03.596-07:002013-06-22T15:22:03.596-07:00Great job!

I never would've guessed they started at the thrift store. :) <br />My wardrobe has been a mish-mash, too. I finally felt good about my winter options, then summer came! I received some pretty fabrics for my birthday, so I have to decide what to do with them and then find the time to sew.

They look classy, are pretty, and modest to boot!<br />I would love to try to sew these, but I'm pretty clueless; I have a machine and understand how to use it, but I haven't really used much and would like to start - maybe even with these!<br />Do you have any tips for me? I'd love to learn! :)<br />Thanks!!<br />Christie Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905926741388635430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278139998273750963.post-82364269603504223962013-06-22T13:41:51.401-07:002013-06-22T13:41:51.401-07:00Very nice!

They have some reasonably priced knits with awfully cute stripes, chevrons and various types of knits. Just in case you run out of extra larges. :)Janelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00736112978352921076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278139998273750963.post-83124801653903961522013-06-22T13:35:13.364-07:002013-06-22T13:35:13.364-07:00Oh my goodness, Shannon!

I truly can't decide which I love the best. :)<br /><br />I know what you mean about your closet situation. Low finances have meant I haven't spent on clothes in quite a few years, but with getting rid of old worn out pieces from my wardrobe I've been keeping an eye out for sales and how I can refashion thrift items, too. Good summer projects! <br /><br />Praying you and your little family are all doing well and enjoying a blessed year. :)<br /><br />Love in Christ,<br />~Rachel~Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145673580087798403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278139998273750963.post-31892404717613152702013-06-22T11:27:37.909-07:002013-06-22T11:27:37.909-07:00Those are so beautiful!

I have such a hard time finding clothes that transition well from pregnancy to post pregnancy to nursing... and we don't have the space or the budget for three seperate wardrobes. I've recently begun sewing with knits as well, and made myself a small collection of maxi skirts! They are so comfortable! You've definitely inspired me to try my hand at remaking a few shirts too :) Hugs!Lauren Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726675567610125773noreply@blogger.com
