More maternity tops

Last weekend my friend and I sewed up the Perfect Maternity and Nursing Top together. I chose the wrong fabric for this - it didn't have enough stretch, so sadly doesn't really fit me. Too bad, because I love the fabric (bargin centre score)! Also, the cami piece underneath was stretchier than the outer, so it lay kind of funny...

My mods: added length to the top (long back); shortened the band - at the full size, it was way too wide - hit me way lower than it should, so I just cut it down to about 1.5" wide instead. I will definitely try this pattern again though!




























































The other top I did was Megan's Wrap Around Maternity Top. I used a soft drapey jersey knit in blue. My only mod was to add 1.5" to the sleeve length for my long arms.

Megan Nielsen pattern Giveaway!

Megan Nielsen is giving away one of her fabulous maternity/nursing patterns over at her blog, DIY Maternity! I've already used one of her patterns, the Pina Gathered Dress & Top, to make some maternity things for myself. I went shopping with a friend on Saturday, and we each bought fabric to make more of her patterns!
