I made a pair of Sabrina Slims for my daughter in law who is 18 weeks pregnant. I love this pattern! The pants fit very well and were easy to sew. I used a ponte knit in black with a cotton jersey for the pregnancy inset. These slacks look so professional for the workplace! I liked the instructions for the welt pockets and although I was not thrilled with how they (the pockets) look on the inside of the slacks, the outside appearance is great. Just a very good pattern!

Comment on Shirtzie Top & Dress by Emily

I sewed one shirt and two dresses with this (one cross front). The pattern is easy to follow, the fit is good, and the end result looks beautiful!

My one complaint is that the tops are VERY low cut – both versions. Nice for going out, but I needed some classy work attire. As it stands I just need to wear something under it for more coverage, and I’ll likely draft something with more coverage if I make this again. I would have preferred a third top option that was a little more modest.

I’m excited to try this! I had no idea there were terms for directions of menstrual bleeding. There’s so much to learn! 🙂

I was like sewforkids looks familiar… and it is! It’s shop based in my country! Total surprise! I would like to recommend another shop from which I buy notions and fabrics for cloth diapers/nursing pads/menstrual pads: https://www.unuodesign.cz/ It seems that their website is in Czech only but luckily PUL is an international word 😀
Thank you for the article… maybe I’ll finally transform my buying into making… 🙂

Comment on Infinity Dress Sewalong 1: Fabric and Supplies by Maternity Sewing

In reply to Anna.

Hi Anna – Sorry about that. The pattern listing now has the yardage requirements.
Mini = 4 1⁄2 yd (4.1 m), Knee = 4 7⁄8 yd (4.4 m), Midi = 5 yd (4.7 m) – Requires at least 54” fabric width. Maxi = 5 7⁄8 yd (5.4 m) – Requires at least 60” fabric width.
The smallest sizes with very wide fabric may be able to do some pattern tetris to get the yardage down. Additionally you could do some pattern hacking to piece your skirt or your straps instead of cutting them all as one if you are looking to reduce yardage.

Hi, I love this polished version of the infinity dress! Could you provide a table with the fabric requirements? Before I buy a pattern, I like to know if there is a fabric in my stash that I could for it…
Thanks,
Anna
