Life has been CRAZY! Little babes are so much work, but my word, they are worth it. Our bub has been growing so much! She turned 6 weeks old on tuesday. She's gained nearly a kilo since birth, has started to smile, lifts and turns her head... she does so much!
I've had a bugger of a time getting breastfeeding going, but now it is under control. I was so despondent when it looked like it wasn't going to work out - I've battled grazed nipples, mastitis, and a little bub who has a 'barracuda' style of feeding - but all has come good now and we're on track. Phew.
I also finally feel like I have energy for a few extra-curricular pursuits, so, you guessed it, sewing is on my mind!! I'm slooowly working on Michael's b'day shirt (now over a month late), but I want to sew something for myself to wear. So - your advice please!
I have some of this lovely viscose knit from Tessuti - this is the only image I can find with the fabric (hope it's okay that I'm using this pic Tessuti ladies!):
It is a lovely blue colour, with silver lines shot through it. It is 176cm wide, and I have 2m. It is really cool fabric. What should I make? I need it to be breastfeeding compatible. Any ideas? I originally thought of Tessuti's Fave Top pattern, but am unsure now. I'd love some suggestions!
I hope you're all doing well - I'll post some pics of Michael's shirt soon - have still got to do the buttonholes, buttons, sleeve hems, and shirt hem. And I've got to go slow, as my sleep-deprived brain is not as sharp as it used to be!
