First ever real maternity make, and I’m in love! Especially with this color palette! An elastic ruched skirt like this is a must for any pregnancy, and I can’t believe I never made one when I was pregnant with Penny. Super easy and quick sew! I paired it with my favorite type of Jarrah tee to make - a short sleeve version. I just leave off the sleeves and either turn under the raw edge, or in this case, add bands around the sleeve hem. Just scrunched it up and knotted it and it sits perfectly over my bump.

Penny of course needed something to match, and the last Briar tee I made her no longer fits. So ta-da! We’re really into this lighter shade of purple lately, and it pairs so nicely with rust and brown colors.

Nothing crazy to see here, just some simple matching cozy jammies for doing what we do best - lounging all day long, haha.

Just one note about using these leggings for pajamas - If you’re going to use a french terry like this, even lightweight, definitely go up a size! Fabric like this doesnt stretch quite as much as a jersey knit or activewear knit, so it’s best to size up. But otherwise, I like it as an option!
