Jonna,
my doula, advised me to include a zipper sweater in my hospital bag to get it on and off easily during labor. The problem was that I didn't have any to fit my 40-week pregnant belly. But what I did have was a 3XL long sleeve tee which could be easily refashioned into a zipper sweater. And here is how I did it:
This is the long sleeve tee I worked on.
I started by shortening the sleeves and cutting off a strip from the bottom and replacing it with another color strip - just to add a splash of color.
I measured the middle of the tee, cut from the bottom to the neckline and sewed in a zipper.
I also added some pockets and simple circle rosettes
and my job is done!

That's very clever! I like the final result!
ReplyDeleteI think I didn't congratulate you yet for your pregnancy. Sorry!
It's been a roller coaster year!
I hope everything goes well with you and your baby and wish you 'uma hora pequenina' (a small hour) and all the happiness for your family!
I'm 30 weeks pregnant also so our babies will have 3 months defference (but I didn't make anything for him yet! :P)
neat idea. :) Love your creativity, and how easy the project was (at least it seems so!).
