Maternity skirt tutorial.

I've been wanting to make a maternity skirt tutorial for a couple of weeks due to my present circumstances (we're having another boy in June if most of you don't know yet), but then I found this tutorial from See Mommy Sew, and thought I'd give it a try. For the tutorial you use any basic A-line skirt pattern, I just drafted my own from a skirt I already had. I was excited to finally use my Swedish Tracing Paper for once, it was great! I'm happy that I used her tutorial, I might still make one of my own because I am a fan of full-panel maternity clothes, but this skirt turned out great and is super simple. Please don't mind that the side seam needs to be pressed again, I promise I will do it before I wear it :).

I think you need to do a tutorial on those nursing covers with the boning in them. I desperately want one but everywhere I look they are so expensive! Please Abby make my dreams come true!

Renee that is so funny, I actually just washed my fabric today to make a nursing cover and tutorial! I guess it's meant to be! It should be done within the next several days :).
