I got this shirt from Mamas and Papas (awesome store!) and it's the most comfortable shirt ever. The lower front is actually 2 overlapping layer that drapes well over the pregnant belly and leaves a lot of room to grow into.
I found some cheap cotton knit material (t-shirt fabric) from the market at 1 pound per meter. So i bought 2 meters and drafted the pattern from the above shirt. I changed a few things..position the sash a bit higher, make long sleeves instead of short...
And here's the result!
action picI'm quite pleased with the result. For 2 pounds i get a maternity shirt that would've costed me 20++ pounds at the store..I'm not good at making garments..there are a few things i'd changed if i were to make this shirt again...tapi kire oklah baju ni..selesa...
