I felt good enough to do some sewing for me. Yesterday I decided to alter some Kwik Sew patterns into maternity using the instructions from Rostitchery (scroll down a fair bit) - I did also add 1 inch all the way around as I did not want my waistbands showing.
Pattern is KS2856 view A- basically a raglan sleeve top with a large foldover collar. I used a rayon/elastane knit - originally I was thinking I might be able to get a short dress out of the 2m length, but after the maternity alterations I thought there is no way there would be enough fabric.
This is the skirt I made the other day - same pattern as the last skirt I made. I just used a micro-model knit this time. A modelling shot would be better, but I keep forgetting to line DH up.
Both skirts look great - and importantly, comfy. I love the printed material
ReplyDeleteMarie they look great. Well done on the adjustments for maternity wear, heaps cheaper if you can make stuff yourself.
ReplyDeleteWow Marie, they both look great - but I especially love the top, the fabric is gorgeous!!!
