I’ve been getting requests for maternity patterns for years! And I’ve had good intentions to produce one, but I guess it took me being pregnant to give me the motivation to get to work. This top started out totally different in sketch-form and it was a lot trickier than I anticipated to come up with a pattern for a top that would easily suit both pregnant and non-pregnant women. My biggest priority was to make sure that the pattern could be used for all women, not just those who are pregnant, whilst still achieving a flattering maternity-style.
The Waterfall Blouse ticks all those boxes and more! I’ll share some pics in a few days of my (not pregnant) sister-in-law wearing the same top as I’m wearing above to show you how the top can easily fit us both. I’m especially excited about having some tops that I can comfortably wear after I’ve had the baby – ones that look pretty but help to cover the post-baby bulges and are easy to breastfeed in.
