Thank you so much for the love for our maternity sewing patterns! It turns out I'm not the only one who's struggled to find maternity clothes in the shops... It's great that we can take matters into our own hands and make a mama wardrobe that we love :)
By the time this is published, I'll be on maternity leave. While I'm gone, I thought I'd share some outtakes from our maternity pattern photo shoot. I was 34 weeks pregnant when we shot these pics - I kinda wish we'd done them earlier as I felt enormous!! Plus I had various pregnancy symptoms to contend with. At least we could have a bit of a giggle snapping some shots showing the reality of being pregnant, such as...

... back ache...

... tiredness...

... pelvic girdle pain meaning you need to keep your feet firmly grounded even when dancing...

... being hot and sweaty and needing regular touch ups...

... no excuse for blue steel really (excess hormones?)...

... and being a business owner means multitasking on your Instagram strat at the same as modelling!
And I wouldn't change it for the world :)
Huge thanks to our fab photographer Fanni Williams!
