Momiform MAKEover: Day 1

Wow! I was blown away yesterday by the number of entries and amount of support for the Momiform MAKEover series. Thank you guys so much! Without further ado, let’s check out the awesome looks these moms created! (Click on any of the images below to go to these ladies’ full makeover posts.)

First up, we have Katie of Creative Counselor. She really went above and beyond by creating an entire mini capsule wardrobe for the challenge! She says, “I tend to fall into a huge rut when it comes to dressing at home, so I was ambitious (maybe overly ambitious) and set my goal to make a 12-piece mini-capsule for my makeover. I ended up finishing 11 of the 12 pieces, and was able to add a scarf for my 12th piece. So I have 4 pants, 4 tops, and 4 layers for a total of 64 possible outfit combinations! Go To Patterns provided the Dropje Vest for the tour, and it’s probably the first piece of outerwear I have ever successfully completed. It will be a great addition to my fall wardrobe. But the crowning glory of my Momiform (for me anyway), are the Ginger Jeans I made. I did low-rise, stovepipe leg, dark wash Gingers made out of Cone Mills denim. They fit like a dream and are so comfy! So my Momiform is now completely made over and ready for fall!

I’m super impressed and I LOVE these looks! Congrats, Katie!

Next up, we have Rachel from Golden Rippy. I just love that she incorporated her kids into her photo shoot because…well…as moms, they are a part of every aspect of our lives! Rachel had some funny things to say about her pre-makeover momiform, so I’ll let you hope over to her blog to read all about it. :)

Don’t you just LOVE the way she mixed prints on this fun top?!

Wrapping up our first day of the series is Tami of Love Notions. Tami also did a full capsule, and I simply adore these looks. The color coordination is spot-on, and she looks so comfortable but polished. Good for you, Tami!

    I’m trying to see Golden Rippy’s post and can’t get through! Such great prints, and adorable baby to boot :)

  • EmilyK

    Wow – I’m so inspired! I’m not yet a mother but really feel like I can step my game up and I love the idea of a mini capsule collection. The Janome S5 looks incredible, I love the huge throat and the lock stitch feature! Would be a huge step up from my starter machine. :)

  • http://www.thepugandneedle.com Heather

    Wow! Those are some great outfits!

  • Terrill

    Great patterns!

    I love the Automatic Thread Cutter and Memorized Needle Up/Down features. This Janome has so many cool features, it makes me think I’ve been sewing in the stone age on my basic Kenmore, lol! 😀

    I’d love to make the ginger jeans and I like the automatic tension feature on the janome!

  • Holly

    Hmmm … how to pick one favorite feature??? I am excited about the advanced feed dogs … sounds weird, maybe, but I feel like it would make sewing just a little easier. Oh, and the automatic tension. AND the thread cutter!

  • Holly

    I would LOVE to own the Hudson pants pattern. And, I would also love the Lark tee and the Linden sweatshirt! Both Kelly and Jen are such talented and creative pattern designers! THANKS for this series, Lauren!
