very first off: I am not pregnant. just figured I ought to get that available before the comments fill up with congratulations as well as my mother calls.
But, I have been expecting (my child is now practically seven!), as well as numerous of you dear visitors who are expecting now or expect being expecting at some not-so-far-off date have emailed me asking for a link to a great pregnancy gown pattern.
I only ended up making this pregnancy gown (I got so big, so fast, that it seemed impractical to make something I’d burst out of, Hulk-like, before it was even hemmed). It’s a excellent pattern (and I made it in an even much better fabric: beautiful Nicole Miller silk with lycra, a deep eco-friendly with an abstract celery-green pattern of what appeared like tangled webs).
And that, my friends, is what I think about the essential to pregnancy sewing: like your fabric. While pregnant, you will be using so much of it, so often, for so long, that if you have even the smallest question about your like for a specific fabric, don’t purchase it.
Whereas in the typical program of events my wardrobe options have a relatively close one-to-one correspondence with the days of the year, I believe I had only about five pregnancy tops, all in bright colors. I’d rotate with the week masquerading as the Fruit of the Loom guys. very first I’d be a huge red strawberry, then an certainly mutant raspberry, complied with by a blueberry with a glandular problem, then an outsize yellow banana, up until completing up as The excellent Pumpkin in my favorite, which was bright orange. (I had a ten-pound baby: you might see me coming from SPACE.)
If you feel guilty about purchasing good material for something you will only wear a few months, keep in mind that this gown takes SO much material that you can take it apart later as well as make it into something else. At least a blouse, if not a skirt. (Not that I’ve done that to mine, because I figure, in my superstitious way, that taking apart the only pregnancy gown I might stand is the #1 method with a bullet to ended up being enceinte again.)
This pattern is $5.99 from Lanetz Living (and inspect in the upper best corner for your discount!). It’s sized as much as B38, however I keep in mind it as being extremely generous — so much so, that since my material had a bit of stretch, I was able to get rid of the back zipper. It was extremely simple to sew.
And, by the way, if you are pregnant, congratulations!
