Sns, nursing bra and nightgowns ala BlueCanoe

I finally finished up the very last of these gowns and such. Today I produced one more bra and 2 floral gowns. I totally love this floral As mentioned in previous sns's these were made originally from seam ripping a Blue Canoe Jane Medium Plus bra then I redrafted the arm scicle to add sleeves and played with the under bust band to do a shirt prototype. When I was happy with that I was able to convert it into the perfect nursing gown (by my standards). The under bust band on a blue canoe bra that gives support is a hidden underlayer on the gown thereby giving you the same comfort and support of you BC bra but in a gown form (plus the sleeves because I usually feel more comfortable with upper arm coverage).




I need to go get some packages ready to ship to some expecting mamas and then post the other floral gown fs. Then the rest of my day will be cutting out NC baby outfits

Thanks for looking mamas,
Sarah

I love that gown! You wouldn't be willing to share the pattern for that would you?

Beautiful. Wish I was your size, I'd snap up that gown! Did you actually take apart your BC bra, or just eyeball it? I don't think I have the guts to deconstruct my brand new bra.

ETA: duh, I see you *did* deconstruct it. Hats off to you!

Actually I asked for a volunteer sacrafice One of the expecting mamas sent me her bra, I didn't have the heart to do it to one of mine. I'm really glad I did take it apart though because there were definitely a few curves and such I didn't 'see'. I was super duper careful and was able to serge her bra back together for her- I just couldn't bear to see it go to waste.

Ginnings if I had the energy I would but I don't. I really need to stop getting sidetracked on the inspirations and finish up my to-do list before baby decides to make the grand entrance!

Its $40ppd, but I'm waiting on a response from another mama first. Pm me if you would like me to contact you if it is still available.

I just tried mine on and I just LOVE it, not trying to brag just so stinking excited!!!

cute sara! I bought one with the intent to do that but never got around to it! Now my boobs are small enough that I wear the organic cami one and I bought a few through a coop. I would have loved to do a nightgown like that! Great idea. Perhaps I will seamrip the medium bra I have but never wear

Sarah, those look so comfy and snuggly! I have been so impressed with how methodically you are working through your list of things you want to have before the baby arrives. I bet you can't wait to be wearing those and snuggling with your newest little one.

Great work!

Tara
