]]>This pattern is suited for early maternity and post-partum – trimesters 1, 2, & 4.
The pure lines of the 9001 flared dress/top are really set off by the originality of the sleeves. With its sober elegance, this top/dress has an A-line cut that is so reminiscent of the most creative designer universes and will bring an instant contemporary allure to your wardrobe. Opt for fabrics that have a bit of hold to give the piece some structure but nothing too stiff, as it must keep its lightness. Shantung or raw silks would be perfect and also fairly dense cottons or brocard etc… Be creative – this model will turn heads when you wear it.

To make this model (in both versions, playsuit or tunic), we recommend you use fluid fabrics to obtain the right fresh effect. You can also opt for fabrics with a printed motif or placed printed band for a bit of fantasy. You could even add trims of your choice to a plain fabric to personalize your piece.

]]>This pattern is suited for all stages of maternity and post-partum – trimesters 1, 2, 3, & 4
The 5007 top/dress is ideal for sunny days with its asymmetric frill. The play on lines and volume is so attractive and yet the model is simple to make. The yoke composed of generous frills will really set off your neckline and in contrast the fine strap reinforces the asymmetry of the piece. As for suitable fabrics, fluid ones such as cotton voile and viscose are the most obvious but fabrics that bring more structure are also possible (an embroidered cotton, for example). Easy to wear with its sober lines and feminine allure, this top/dress is utterly ravishing.

This pattern is suited for nursing.
The 5001 is an elegant blouse with its discreet low neckline and knot can also be made without sleeves in version b. Feminine, sexy and delicate are three adjectives that come to mind when looking at this blouse. It might look tricky to make but not at all. The pattern is very accessible and yet manages to create so much style. Go for fluid fabrics (silk for instance) and that might be a little transparent (embroidered chiffon) to really emphasize the femininity of the piece. All you have to do now is choose between the blouse and sleeveless top version.

The Franki Top is a versatile transitional piece. It has a boxy, relaxed feel which can be made into an everyday casual top or an elegant feminine piece, both of which will be a staple in your wardrobe. Both versions have a flattering hi-lo hem line. Version 1 features a flirty ruffle hem and three-quarter sleeves with pretty ties. Version 2 is cropped at the waist and has short sleeves.
Any lightweight woven fabrics with drape such as rayon, viscose, voile or silk. For a more ‘boxy’ look, use fabrics with less drape such as cotton, chambray, double gauze, flannel or linen. Be aware that using a stiffer fabric will create a more tent-like shape.

]]>This pattern is suited for all stages of maternity and post-partum – trimesters 1, 2, 3, & 4, as well as for nursing.
Infinity dresses are named for the infinite ways they can be worn, thanks to the innumerable ways you can wrap the straps to make the bodice uniquely yours. Our Knit Infinity Dress pattern is a deluxe version featuring:
The waistband has elastic in the back which is hidden with a lining so that the dress is comfortable and the elastic won’t rub your skin. The half circle skirt makes this maternity friendly and the flexibility of the straps makes it nursing friendly.
The pattern is layered so you can print only the size you need and it tells you exactly which pages you need to print for your chosen options so you can minimize pages printed (in either home print (both 8.5×11″ and A4) or copy shop/A0 format). Additionally, it comes with a “template” print option that allows you to further minimize pages printed by using the templates and doing a little drafting yourself.
Lightweight knits with stretch. Suggested fabrics include lightweight double brushed poly, ITY, jersey, and tricot.
Yardage: 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.
8 – 20” (20 – 66 cm) of 3/4” – 1” (19-25 mm) elastic
