Plush Enough

Author: Psychodivamom / Labels: , , ,

Thanks for coming to my blog. I hope to share some of my pieces that I have made, good and bad. Critiques are always welcome, but let's remember, I am by no means a professional, so this is just a passion of mine. In other words, don't cut me down just to be malicious. I hope you guys can get some ideas of your own, and that I am articulate enough to even post some tutorials. Enjoy my blog and Welcome to my first post.
I have my daughter's 4th birthday, along with one of her friends birthday, just days prior and then my husband's birthday a few days after hers. Sigh!

So I have decided that we need to celebrate with some hand made items. I am trying to tackle a birthday outfit, a hair accessory, along with a plush monster which resembles the Hulk ala Biker Gang and an attempt at a monster truck. Kids seem to adore plush items so let's hope these don't conquer me.

I will have pictures of the pieces as they come. I have almost finished the cupcake hair piece, but that is the smallest one. Let's see how I fare this time next week.

A Fashionable Nursing Dress??

Author: Psychodivamom / Labels: , , ,

Hey there everyone. I have been MIA for a while, and a lot has changed-including bringing baby #5 into the world this year. So I have been on the creative bug again, and since the boobies are no longer for fun, but instead for nutrition... I have been trying to accommodate them with halfway decent clothes.

I have been following Prudent Baby for a while because there are some awesome tutorials on there. I came across the Most Flattering Shirt Dress and loved it. However, I am trying to find clothes right now that I can nurse in that are not the usual layers. So I decided to change up the dress a bit to be used for nursing. This involved making the front separate for pulling up and down, all while maintaining the look of a dress and stays put. This is the finished product, which I am pretty proud of!





This dress is super flattering with the shirring in the waist. I makes your waist look small and gives you more of that va va voom look. **WARNING** Do not wear if not looking for attention from the SO!

This is how it pulls up to be able to nurse
Then pulled down, and works on the waist very well.
I didn't have elastic thread, so I did a casing on the inside and put elastic through it for the shirred look. 

I changed my neck to a wide boatneck, which made a more sensual look when put on and also added petal sleeves. The print and style remind me of the 70's, and I love the silhouette.
