In any bit of my free time these days, I have been sewing. Even squeezing in a couple of things for my pregnant self. I just want(ed) pants that fit. Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer the maternity pants that go all the way up and over the belly. It just makes sense! My big belly holds the pants up. No underpants (or worse) sticking out of the back of my pants as I bend down- slowly and methodically. None of that constantly tugging up my pants every time I stand up, walk, move, or breath them out of position. Any mama relating to me? So I just finished Simplicity #5756. I had to add two darts to the back of the pants and take about an inch from the top's fullness and 3 inches from the elastic in the neckline.
Look what was on the Sew Mama Sew blog last week.... I need to try this awesome summer top
The Free tutorial is here.
I can't stop thinking about how cute this top would be even for maternity! I do wish it had a cap sleeve. But I think I can change the ruffle a bit. I need to first follow her pattern. THEN make my adjustments.
