Fashionable T-Shirt for Moms

4:31 PM

Many have asked if I'll be selling these nursing shirts.
This was a commisioned piece to use as a prototype for manufacturing.
If you would like more information on purchasing shirts made in the future based on this design, email: jennytrimble@gmail.com
Thanks!
A friend commissioned me to make sure a shirt she's been wanting to make nursing more convenient.  She described what she wanted, so using her shirt that fit well as a pattern, I made a new t-shirt out of pink knit she picked out.

To make it accessible for breast-feeding, there are snaps along the empire seam, and up to the sleeve seam. 


To add a little feminine touch, and to better conceal the fact there is an open empire seam, she wanted a row of knit flowers, this tutorial she saw on Tea Rose Home.  Rather than hand sewing the individual circles into flowers, I folded the 3 circles into quarters, then used the machine to sew the bottoms, saving a little time.  I did have to sew each flower on individually.  I like how the sleeves have a little puff to them. 
Hope it works for her!

  2. OH MY GOODNESS! I think you are a stinking GENIUS!!!!!!!!

    If your friend doesn't love it, she's crazy! I would have killed, ok- maybe not killed, but definitely jumped the woman I saw wearing this and ripped it off her so I could have it, if I saw someone wearing this when I was nursing and fighting with all those shirts!

    On a more serious-less-crazed note:

    Excellent job!!!!! Mind if I try my hand at the concept for a friend who is expecting and will be nursing?

  8. I LOVE THIS! I will have to make a bunch before my baby comes in April...
    One question though, are the snaps hard to do back up one handed?

  12. May I ask you to give me tips on how to sew snap tape? I even asked for advice on my blog a year or so ago when I was trying to use it on a project. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to machine sew it. Zipper foot catches or is too wide and it just left me wasting days and being frustrated. Project is still pinned and unsewn a year later! I would so appreciate any advice you can share!

    Thanks,
    KK
