OMG, that shirt fucking ROCKS! Can you make me a non-maternity one?! Heeehee.
you look adorable, btw.

I'd have spent good, good money on a shirt like that when I was pregnant. Best. Shirt. Ever.
Posted by: sara nunn at Jul 11, 2008 9:20:34 PM
That shirt is awesome! And despite the largeness of the child in there, you look small :) Will let that awesomeness serve as inspiration to learn to use the sewing machine that's still in a box in my dining room!

I still friggin love that fabric and how fierce is that shirt? ! Love it!
Posted by: Day at Jul 11, 2008 9:36:25 PM
Make me one?! LOL!!! Is that a maternity shirt pattern? I may have to have my grandma try that out for me. It's very cute. Although I usually just stick to Gap maternity tshirts.

Did you really steal Charlie's pillowcase? That shirt is the best. I think you might be on to something . . .

Whoa, you're pretty hot for a headless chick.
Posted by: Annika at Jul 11, 2008 9:43:50 PM
I love love love that top!!! Fantastic, lady.
Posted by: KelliAmanda at Jul 11, 2008 9:44:37 PM
Love it. The world needs more pinkly-pirated preggos.
Posted by: Christine at Jul 11, 2008 9:45:43 PM
YES. love. it. although, could you embroider a white skull and crossbones over each nipple? Thanks, that would complete my life.
Posted by: mfk at Jul 11, 2008 9:46:16 PM
Awesome.
I agree, you do look small for such a big baby.
Posted by: MaggieBelle at Jul 11, 2008 9:48:19 PM
LOVE IT, but that's just leftover fabric, right? You didn't take apart Charlie's pillowcase did you?
Posted by: angiewis at Jul 11, 2008 9:49:43 PM
Delurking to say: You are so incredibly badass.
Posted by: Katie B. at Jul 11, 2008 9:54:08 PM
Wow, you really don't look that big for 36 weeks. I love the shirt! I don't think I would break down and sew even for a cute and comfortable maternity shirt. Maybe in 11 more weeks I will have changed my mind!

Love it, especially love how feminine it is with the little collar. Thanks for the breast adjustment instructions. If I ever use our poor, neglected sewing machine again, I'll definitely need them!
Posted by: meg at Jul 11, 2008 10:04:37 PM
It's a beautiful sight to see.
Posted by: Kelly at Jul 11, 2008 10:14:37 PM
Hilarious, and looks comfortable too. Well done! (Did you make any other ones?)
You look great. Congratulations on the 36-week milestone, and baby's estimated weight. That's really wonderful.
Posted by: tripleblessings at Jul 11, 2008 10:18:31 PM
Thanks. And yes, I did make another, out of this fabric. Because, really, who doesn't need a little more jiggle?
Posted by: Julie at Jul 11, 2008 10:25:10 PM
Delurking to say that I had a weird worlds-colliding moment when I saw this pop up in my RSS reader. There are two kinds of blogs that I read: the so-called mommy blogs (sorry if I just made you cringe) and sewing blogs. Seeing a reference to a FBA in your post made my head spin with the madness of these two online worlds colliding. :) And your top is awesome, and fits great too!
Posted by: Julia at Jul 11, 2008 10:32:39 PM
OMFG! You didn't! I love it!
Posted by: Hannah at Jul 11, 2008 10:48:26 PM
Oh my god. Yes, that is, in fact, the best maternity top ever. And the jiggle fabric? Oh my god, oh my god.
Posted by: Alex at Jul 11, 2008 11:08:16 PM
I love the biker waitress look!! Very becoming! ;-)
Posted by: Lynn at Jul 11, 2008 11:24:55 PM
That shirt stinking rocks. I would kill for that kind of creative -- I was doomed to mall shopping.
Posted by: Heather at Jul 11, 2008 11:31:03 PM
Best. Shirt. Ever. Maternity or otherwise.
Posted by: at Jul 11, 2008 11:37:35 PM
I am SOOOOOOO jealous. And I think you can totally make money with that. For the baby, you know. In case Prince does not, you know, dedicate that album to you.
And I am still jealous.

Awesome blouse!

Dean: Are you a pirate?
Triana: What?
Dean: It's just you have a Jolly Roger on your blouse, and I was wondering...
Triana: Oh, yeah. I was going for a kind of Adam and the Ants retro type of ... did you just say blouse?
* * *
Hurray for 36 weeks!
Posted by: another julie at Jul 11, 2008 11:43:44 PM
That's H.O.T.T!
Posted by: Sandy at Jul 11, 2008 11:51:24 PM
Here's my list of comments:
-you really don't look that big - if that was a 'full breast adjustment', I guess mine would be a 'holy crap those jugs can't fit anywhere else' adjustment.
-I love the shirt, and hope you wear it when you drop Charlie at daycare with his pillow in his hand - matching mommy and son pirates - most excellent
-36 weeks!!!
-mall maternity shirts suck. badly.
-Jiggle!!!!!!

Bootiful! If I didn't think that I'd just have to go and buy more mall maternity tops, I'd throw out my mall maternity tops as a celebration of your awesomeness.
Also, I'd just like to take this opportunity to call you as asshole because 36 weeks you may be, but you look decidedly unhippoesque and I really think you should have the decency to look like a hippo. I'm 13 weeks and I look more of a hippo. I'm boycotting your blog as a protest against your unhippoesqueness(except for daily check ins for updates ... of course).
Posted by: Simonne at Jul 12, 2008 12:13:20 AM
36 weeks. Full term. YOU GO GIRL!!!! And btw, that shirt kicks ass.
Posted by: sarah at Jul 12, 2008 12:31:55 AM
That is one nice maternity shirt. I am jealous of your skills. And, love the headless photo.
Posted by: Amy at Jul 12, 2008 12:57:50 AM
That is the coolest shirt ever!! I love that material
Posted by: tiggrrl72077 at Jul 12, 2008 12:59:52 AM
You left out (- head)
Posted by: BRash at Jul 12, 2008 1:18:57 AM
Delurking to say OMFG that is the Best Shirt Ever. Well done!
Posted by: liz at Jul 12, 2008 1:52:23 AM
fucking adorable!!
Posted by: aarin at Jul 12, 2008 1:53:42 AM
Very cool
Posted by: cc at Jul 12, 2008 1:55:05 AM
LOL way to cool!! You look great!!!
Posted by: Rebel at Jul 12, 2008 2:09:28 AM
I have images off while connecting via cell phone and it was totally worth it to see *that* pillowcase as the shirt!!
Brilliant!!
Posted by: JenP at Jul 12, 2008 2:30:59 AM
Fantastic shirt - you need to start a business with these!

CHARLIE'S PILLOW??
Awww =[
On other note, we Louisiana ladies are very proud. This shirt just screams "Kickin' ass and taking names, argh!"
Posted by: Jennifer at Jul 12, 2008 5:33:59 AM
i think i love you!
Posted by: illahee at Jul 12, 2008 6:57:55 AM
that was too much. even for you. BUT I AM LOVING IT!
Posted by: Amber at Jul 12, 2008 7:42:27 AM
I thought I loved you before. But now my desire is as intense as the white hot burning sun.
Posted by: Jen at Jul 12, 2008 7:43:57 AM
It's amazing how slimming skull-and-crossbones fabric is on a woman carrying a giant baby--who knew!
SO glad to hear where things are at with you. Good luck with this last bit.
Posted by: Queenie at Jul 12, 2008 8:25:00 AM
Honestly, with 4 weeks left you are going to sew? Come on! Can't you just be naked for 4 weeks? It's hot - No one would fault you...
(whoo Hoo! Good for you!)
Posted by: Emilie at Jul 12, 2008 8:55:09 AM
By the way... I think it's time you started the betting pool! Guess the EXACT weight and length of the baby and get all of Julie's old meds left over from Dr. You Just Made My Boat Payment.
Posted by: Emilie at Jul 12, 2008 8:56:53 AM
ARRRRRR!
Posted by: Traci at Jul 12, 2008 9:05:52 AM
That is just great looking. I'm sure everyone you meet will be asking you where you got it. A possible money spinner? :)
