Paris maternity top


I modified Kwik Sew 2874 and used this cotton lycra with Paris features to make this maternity top. I hope this print is not too busy. Since I did not have any matching/contrasting ribbing or knit I decided just to turn and topstitch with a twin needle - very easy to do, as long as you make small clips along the curves. This is a great pattern, except I found it too narrow at the wrists compared with the rest of the arm.

  3. That's great, Marie, and such a contrast to the boring maternity clothes in the shops, all drab colours. Not too busy at all, fresh and lovely.

  5. I've seen the print online before and loved it but wandered what I'd do with it. I think it looks great as a top!
