First thing I needed was Maternity wear. Full of excitement we went shopping knowing most of the shops in our area advertise maternity wear online, only to find only 2 actually stocked maternity wear, & they were quite pricey. So online shopping it was. Plain tops were well priced but those with cute slogans etc were triple the price, so I decided to make my own.
I bought a set of tops from George, Asda, & another from New Look. I was lucky enough to have won some Cricut iron on vinyl in silver, red & white, so set up the Cricut Explore and started playing.
First the maternity tops.
Here is me wearing it today. I LOVE long t-shirts, and vest tops means I can layer up with shirts & cardis, or wear as is in the warmer Summer months.
This is Kai's favourite, he finds it hilarious.
My weekly counter T-shirt, I cross out the weeks gone by. The numbers sit over the bump.
The design moved slightly as I was distracted when ironing affecting the m & s unfortunately.
This is my other personal favourite as I love bats, this particular bat is from Miss Kate Cuttables, an online svg shop I adore.
This also shows how well it stays on after being washed & tumble dried, which was my my main worry.
I've only got a small amount of iron on vinyl left, maybe enough to do a baby vest or 2 :)
