2 more maternity wrap tops

I really like the navy & white top I made from Kwik Sew 3487, so decided to make a couple more versions out of cotton lycra jersey. This time I used XS from shoulders to bust seam, then tapered out to the length & width of a S for the lower half. I also machine tacked the wrap shut so I won’t have to use a safety pin. ;) I didn’t make any  design changes to the lime & blue top. On the floral top, I eliminated the front band and ties, plus used decorative elastic to finish the neckline & armholes.

    Thanks Teri! It’s not a color I usually wear (have I ever worn lime before??) but after wearing it yesterday & picking up a compliment or two I may have to add some lime to my regular wardrobe. . .

    I love the tops, so pretty!! I’m ISO stylish but modest maternity skirt patterns. (preferable tutorial/free type) Do you have any suggestions?

    Thanks! :) I have to admit, this is my 6th baby & I’ve never had a maternity skirt until the one I wrote about on June 17 (”Impulse Skirt”). The alterations I described should work on other skirt patterns as well. Hope that helps!

    Great shirts! I especially love the color combination of the blue/green one too. That’s a combo that is particularly appealing to me even though I don’t really wear lime either.
